Chapter 711 Improved Version of the Hades Formation
According to Wenren Xuewei's instructions, Chen Mobai easily cultivated the second-level five-element spiritual soil after trying two or three times.
After completing it, he packed the full pot of five-element spiritual soil, returned to Tianhe Realm, and sent it to Hongguo.
Zhuo Ming carefully planted the branch of the five-element spiritual tree. The master and apprentice carefully served for half a month, and finally made the jade branch bloom with the breath of growth and pulled out the first root in the soil.
After this step, the next step is relatively simple.
You just need to have enough five-element spiritual soil, wait for it to take root and sprout completely, and then absorb the five-element spiritual energy to make the five flowers bear fruit.
However, it will take at least a hundred years to complete this step.
Even if there is Wanhua Leishui to ripen it, it still needs the fifth-level or higher five-element spiritual soil, plus the magnificent five-element spiritual energy supply.
As for these, Chen Mobai also kept them in mind first, and waited until they were realized one by one later.
After all, whether it is the Wanhua Thunder Water or the Five Elements Spiritual Soil, the technology obtained from the Immortal Gate is already very mature, and the only thing left is to realize it in the Tianhe Realm.
As for resources such as spiritual energy, it is even easier.
After all, the most abundant thing in the Tianhe Realm is resources, especially the five elements essences such as gold crystals and life-giving stones.
After the branches of the Five Elements Spiritual Tree grew roots, Chen Mobai was relieved. He asked Zhuo Ming to take care of it carefully and returned to the Immortal Gate.
In the laboratory of Chixia Academy, he continued to cultivate enough Five Elements Spiritual Soil according to his successful experience.
Now the Five Elements Spiritual Tree branches are just potted plants, but they will definitely grow into towering trees in the future, so Chen Mobai prepared enough Five Elements Spiritual Soil in advance.
Fortunately, after the Five Elements Spiritual Energy is infused into the inorganic soil, it only needs to be observed every once in a while, otherwise Chen Mobai really can't spare the time.
The top of Danxia Mountain.
Under the towering jadeite sycamore tree, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and looked at the top-grade spirit stone in his hand, which seemed to have not changed at all. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
After the Pure Yang Dharma Body used the top-grade spirit stone to cultivate, the speed really increased.
It was not a small increase, but a direct increase of five or six times.
The Eight Yang Body, which was originally expected to take about ten years to complete, can now be achieved in less than two years.
It just so happened that his Pure Yang Volume Jindan Sixth Level realm would reach its peak next year. In addition, the time to use the Burning Lamp Technique to purify the spirit, eliminate the hidden dangers such as Dan poison, just perfectly matched, and did not delay the breakthrough to the late stage of Jindan.
After completing the basic daily practice, Chen Mobai put back the top-grade spirit stone in his hand that was almost not consumed.
Then he took out a silver-white array plate with a missing corner.
This was taken from the Lonely Soul Ridge at the beginning, and it was also the core of the Hades array.
Chen Mobai had already asked Granny Ming about this array, but this was not the technique of the Heavenly Venerable, but the method of the Ghost Mother in the underworld.
Before Tianzun entered the netherworld, the supreme ruler of the netherworld was a great supernatural being named Ghost Mother.
Ghost Mother and Jellyfish share the power of the netherworld and the world of the living. The former regards the netherworld as her own residence, so in ancient times, the netherworld was also called the Hades.
As the master of the netherworld, Ghost Mother's natural supernatural power cultivation is infinitely powerful, but she still wants to go further, control life and death, and refine the void and merge with the Tao.
So she wants to expand the netherworld until it swallows the entire world of the living!
But compared to Jellyfish, Ghost Mother's supernatural power realm is still slightly inferior. She was defeated and fell after the war, but since then, the netherworld has no master.
The netherworld formation evolved from the Ghost Mother's supernatural power that was used to expand the netherworld.
Because Ghost Mother, as the master of the netherworld, can travel to any place in the netherworld with a thought, if the netherworld can be expanded to cover the entire Tianhe Realm, then the nine heavens and ten earths will all be the domain of Ghost Mother.
After the death of Ghost Mother, the netherworld was also pierced by Jellyfish, and many of the most rare treasures in it were exploded, including various ghost cultivation supernatural powers.
The Soul-Catching Demon Sect, one of the Eighteen Demon Sects, originated from a young monk who got the ghost mother's residual soul.
He was bewitched by the bone jade entrusted by the ghost mother's residual soul, and practiced the ghost way in human form, constantly wandering in the underworld and the world of the living, gathering and absorbing the soul of the ghost mother that was shattered by the jellyfish.
It was passed down from generation to generation, and finally in ancient times, the soul-calling and soul-catching formation was completed, gathering some of the ghost mother's true spirits scattered in various places in the blue sky and the yellow spring, allowing the lord of the underworld to descend on the Tianhe world again.
Fortunately, at that time, the peak of the East Land Imperial Court ruled the East Region.
The contemporary human emperor led the Ten Directions Hall and got help from the Holy Land to defeat the joint efforts of the various veins of the Demon Sect, and broke the soul-catching formation, dispersed the ghost mother's true spirit again, and suppressed this catastrophe with his strong strength.
However, after this catastrophe, the human emperor had to ascend, and the East Land Imperial Court also declined from prosperity, laying the groundwork for the subsequent disintegration.
After the Ghost Mother Calamity, the Soul-Snatching Demon Sect, as the instigator, was naturally wiped out by the Eastern Land Imperial Court and the major righteous sects. At that time, all the texts related to ghost cultivation in the Eastern Land had to be completely erased.
If anyone was found to have kept it privately, even if they were disciples of the Holy Land, they would be brutally killed.
At the beginning, a Taoist from the Holy Land secretly kept a copy of the Ghost Mother Sutra because he was curious and wanted to study the difference between the methods of ghost cultivation and the methods of the Yang world. As a result, he was discovered and reported by a jealous junior brother.
On the same day, the Eastern Land Imperial Court sent the Ten Directions Hall to the door and forced them to hand over the person.
The True Lord of the Holy Land was furious, but for the sake of inheritance, he did not dare to challenge the Eastern Land Imperial Court at that time. He originally wanted to draw his sword and behead the Taoist who was the direct descendant in front of everyone.
However, the Eastern Land Imperial Court at that time was trying to set an example and suppress the major holy lands, so the imperial envoy stopped the True Lord of the Holy Land and insisted on taking the Taoist of the Holy Land back to the imperial capital, announcing it to all the major sects of cultivation in the world and then beheading him as a public display!
Facing the most powerful force in the entire Eastern Land, the Taoist had no room for resistance.
However, before he was beheaded, he left his understanding of the Ghost Mother Sutra and the Holy Land Dharma in the interlayer floor tiles of the cell.
Ten years later, a prince who committed a serious crime was also thrown into this heavenly prison.
He found this inheritance and left the Heavenly Prison after his cultivation was abolished in exchange for giving up the throne.
This abandoned prince is the founder of the Tongyou Demon Sect, one of the eighteen sects of the current demon sect. He merged the Ghost Mother Sutra with the Holy Land Dharma and created the Netherworld Sutra.
Four hundred years ago, Mingzun of the Tongyou Demon Sect cultivated the Netherworld Sutra to the pinnacle, became a god, and almost broke through the East alone.
This Hades Formation is also the signature of the Tongyou Demon Sect and the Soul-Snatching Demon Sect, and belongs to the Demon Dao Formation.
The trick is that within the range covered by the formation, as long as the body can withstand it, the formation master can move around in it at will.
This is like the authority of the Ghost Mother in the underworld, which has been reproduced in the human world in the form of a formation.
Although there are many restrictions and the range is fixed, once the arrangement is completed, it is equivalent to having a domain that can be teleported at will, and it is invincible.
Opponents of the same level or lower realm can only let the formation master dominate and cannot escape. Even if you encounter an opponent of a higher realm, you can use the nature of teleportation to easily avoid and escape.
Compared with the Hades Formation, walking in the void does not have this restriction.
As long as you have mastered it, you can move to the place you want to reach with a thought. And the speed and range of teleportation depend on the realm of the cultivator.
For example, Wenren Xuewei, with the help of the big cypress tree, can even perform the void teleportation, which theoretically can only be activated by the spirit transformation cultivator, and can reach most of the territory of the immortal gate in an instant.
Of course, there are also forbidden formations specifically for teleportation, and there is no way to walk in the void in these places.
Another similar one is the vacuum body.
This is more domineering.
It directly breaks through the space with the flesh. Compared with the skill of walking in the void, it can only be said that it is powerful.
For the same teleportation distance, if walking in the void only requires a pure yang spiritual power, then the vacuum body needs ten times.
Moreover, the vacuum body has higher requirements for the flesh. Because walking in the void is activated by the ubiquitous space power between heaven and earth, it does not even need to practice any special body forging techniques.
In order to be able to cross the void, the vacuum body needs to be tempered to be extremely strong, which is why it has the title of the first body forging method in the East Wilderness.
Of course, the vacuum body is not completely useless.
Compared with walking in the void, because it is forced to cross with the flesh, it can ignore the restrictions. As long as the strength is strong enough, even the deepest Hades in the underworld in the legend can be entered.
For these three, Chen Mobai also spent a lot of time to comprehend them.
The best is naturally walking in the void, but this requires extremely high consciousness and spiritual power, requiring the Nascent Soul Realm, or a special physique such as the void spirit body and space affinity, and a person with amazing talent and comprehension.
The highest upper limit is the vacuum body, but except for the high upper limit, there is nothing else.
The Hades formation highlights a low threshold. Even if it is a foundation-building cultivator, as long as the formation is arranged and then the formation is refined into the body, it can teleport in a limited area. The disadvantage is that it cannot move, the upper limit is low, and it is a magic formation, which has hidden dangers.
After all, there is a holy land in the Tianhe Realm that specializes in magic.
However, after Chen Mobai carefully comprehended the Hades Formation, he found that he could completely change its appearance, and even add some characteristics of the Immortal Sect's Void Walking and Vacuum Body, completely eliminating the traces of the devil.
With his understanding and talent, he naturally could not combine the three into one, take the essence of the three and discard the dross, and create a new teleportation formation suitable for himself.
But there is enlightenment tea.
For this, Chen Mobai drank another pot.
In the state of enlightenment, he combined his own practice situation, integrated the Hades Formation, and left the possibility of continuing to borrow the Void Walking and the Vacuum Body in the future, and successfully created the method.
This new teleportation technique, on the surface, is the Hades Formation, but it overcomes the disadvantage of being unable to move. If the cultivation level is higher in the future, it can also integrate the skills of Void Walking and the upper limit of the Vacuum Body.
When it is performed in the Tianhe Realm, it will be called the Vacuum Body, and in the Immortal Sect, it will be called Void Walking.
Anyway, it cannot be admitted to be the Hades Formation.
With the help of the enlightenment tea, Chen Mobai understood the key.
Then he took out the key array plate of the Hades array. Although a corner was missing, it did not affect its use.
A huge incarnation emerged from the void behind him, and soon a blurry head poked out. Chen Mobai, who was sitting under the jade phoenix tree, was just as tall as the teeth of this translucent skull.
From a distance, it looked like he was sitting in the middle of a ghost face's mouth, which was extremely weird.
If it weren't for the formation on the top of the mountain, the sound alone would have shocked the teachers and students below.
Chen Mobai stretched out his hand and threw the formation disc in his palm into the center of the eyebrows of this external incarnation.
Since all the bones of this external incarnation were condensed with the power of the void, the skull merged with the formation disc without any hindrance under his operation, and the subsequent formation into the body was also easily completed.
After doing all this, Chen Mobai opened his hands to the surroundings.
After breaking through to the sixth level of the Golden Core, the realm of 20,480 cubic meters spread out to the outside world with his hands as the center.
Soon, the entire top of Danxia Mountain was covered by his realm.
Chen Mobai took a deep breath, and the formation disc on the eyebrows of his external incarnation behind him flashed with silver-white light.
Suddenly, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared ten meters away.
Chen Mobai felt the slight burden of his immortal body, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Then, he tried again.
This time he teleported a hundred meters away. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the middle of the wooden house on the top of the mountain.
Amidst the laughter, the silver-white light flashed again, and Chen Mobai's figure teleported out of the house and stood in front of the door.
After several teleportations, his figure appeared at the edge of the boundary.
But this is not the limit of the boundary at all. As Chen Mobai laughed, the boundary that had stagnated and expanded once again spread to the outside world.
He did not spread to the bottom of the mountain again, but controlled the boundary to expand horizontally and spread to the two next-door mountains.
Finally, after covering three mountains, Chen Mobai's boundary expanded to the extreme.
Next, the array plate on Chen Mobai's head burst into silver-white light, and his whole body had teleported from Danxia Mountain to the top of another mountain.
This is the Hades Array after his improvement.
Refining the array plate with the incarnation outside the body, refining the array into the body, and then merging the Hades array with his own realm. The area that the realm can cover is the area where he teleports.
The so-called Hades array is to use the powerful spiritual veins and spiritual energy as the energy source, provide it to the array plate, and then assimilate the space covered by the array into a suitable area for the array master to teleport.
The key is to find a suitable spiritual land. In addition to the spiritual veins, the most important thing is to have active void power.
The land of Lonely Soul Ridge meets the requirements for the arrangement of the Hades array because it has the Void Stone Mine.
And Chen Mobai's realm is entirely opened up by pure void power, which is even more suitable for arranging the Hades array.
In the future, he only needs to continue to open up his own realm. When he can cover the entire East Wasteland, it is probably equivalent to Wenren Xuewei's void teleportation.
