My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 177 Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation

Zhao Xuan, standing in the center, continuously released his mental power along the base of the Fire Crow Sect's core formation, rapidly spreading to every corner of the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain, controlling the overall situation.

Zhao Xuan possesses exceptionally strong mental power, enough to easily cover the entire Fire Crow Sect's divine domain.

They had no choice but to resort to this method because they were using Luo Xuan's body.

Fortunately, prior to this, Zhao Xuan had already demonstrated his understanding and mastery of formations by engaging in discussions and debates with the Ten Heavenly Kings, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals.

If Luo Xuan relied solely on his original cultivation, he would not have been able to achieve the feat of freely manipulating the entire Fire Raven Sect's divine domain.

Otherwise, of course, the disciple wouldn't have been sent back.

The reason Luo Xuan had previously chosen to move countless mountains out of the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain was precisely because his own mastery of formations was still insufficient.

If a mountain peak blocks the formation when it is activated, then these formations will be difficult to connect with each other to form a complete large formation.

But the situation is different now. With the superb array formation skills that Zhao Xuan displayed in front of the Three Immortals, he now has enough strength to forcibly activate the array.

More importantly, with the testimonies of the Ten Heavenly Kings, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals, even if someone has doubts about Zhao Xuan's actions, it will be difficult to find conclusive evidence to question him.

After all, these renowned figures had all witnessed Zhao Xuan's extraordinary achievements in the art of formations.

The way of formations is the path to heaven, and only those with the ambition to reach the heavens can reach the pinnacle and master this way.

Those who wish to cultivate the Great Dao of Array Formations must ensure their minds are clear and their intentions are unobstructed, only then can they comprehend its profound and subtle aspects.

However, Luo Xuan's mind was not open and easygoing.

If his wishes had been fulfilled, Hu Sheng would probably have died long ago, and even his fellow disciples who often made things difficult for him would not have escaped.

This formation, named the "Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation," is constructed using a solid foundation of one hundred and eighty towering mountain peaks.

Within the Lingbao Dao Sect, there are 365 majestic main peaks and as many as 1,296 slightly inferior secondary peaks.

These mountains echo each other and connect with one another, together forming a unique and awe-inspiring "Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array".

The "Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation" originated from Luo Xuan's understanding of the "Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Formation".

Unfortunately, even Luo Xuan failed to decipher the core formation, only grasping a small part of its profound mysteries.

Even if it's just a small fraction of the profound mystery of this core formation, it's enough to withstand the earth-shattering and fierce attack of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

It is not difficult to imagine that the complete and flawless "Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array" must contain power that is capable of destroying the world and is extremely terrifying.

Although Zhao Xuan had deciphered Luo Xuan's memories, he did not know the full picture of the "Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array." However, he incorporated some of the profound principles of the "Myriad Treasures Refining Heaven Array" of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable into the Golden Turtle Covering Earth Array.

This greatly increased the power of the formation he set up, making it unpredictable.

The array knowledge that Zhao Xuan taught Huo Ya was the improved "Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Array". Huo Ya was dispatched not only to clear out the strange beasts on the mountain peaks that served as the array base, but also to modify the array patterns on those mountain peaks.

In this way, the "Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation" possesses the profound power to refine all things in the world and recreate the creation of heaven and earth.

Especially when combined with the fiery breath of creation contained in the fire crow, the two complement each other perfectly.

In an instant, boundless, dazzling light surged forth like a tidal wave, so bright that even those within a defensive range of millions of miles could hardly open their eyes to look directly at it.

After the dazzling light gradually faded, apart from Zhao Xuan, Fire Crow, and Crimson Smoke Steed, there were no other living beings cultivating in the entire Fire Crow Sect's divine domain.

As for the other peaks, they had long been burned to ashes by the evolved "Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation," and their matter had been refined.

It has to be said that Zhao Xuan really went all out this time.

The cultivation methods of the Destruction God Realm are extremely peculiar and bizarre. Not only can one improve their cultivation level by relying on the Dao of Destruction, but one can also condense an incomparably powerful destructive aura by destroying living beings.

Generally speaking, the more numerous the beings destroyed, the more concentrated and intense the destructive aura they generate will be. Consequently, the combat strength of cultivators in the God of Destruction will naturally become more powerful and terrifying.

However, this method of cultivation, which uses the slaughter of living beings as a means, has a huge drawback: endless karmic retribution will follow them like a shadow, causing them to be entangled and bound by heavy karma on their path of cultivation.

If this continues, these cultivators are very likely to gradually lose their true selves and minds, eventually becoming mindless, zombie-like puppets who only know how to destroy in a frenzy.

For this reason, the cultivators who destroyed the divine realm often preferred to adopt a relatively safe and secure strategy: either drive hordes of strange beasts to charge into battle, or choose to join forces with these strange beasts to create a series of horrific and bloody slaughter feasts.

Then, they can use the massive killing aura generated by these massacres to continuously gather and condense into an even more magnificent and vast aura of destruction.

At the same time, they will try every means to completely transform those invaded areas into exclusive territories filled with a strong aura of destruction.

In this way, when fighting within this territory, they can have a certain degree of home-field advantage, which greatly increases their chances of winning.

In other words, the aura of destruction is essential to them, but they cannot create it themselves.

Among the cultivators who came to destroy the divine realm this time, there were more than a dozen Primordial Golden Immortals and as many as dozens of Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

On the surface, it appears that the dozens of Grand Luo Golden Immortals are led by a Primordial Golden Immortal, but this is not the case.

In reality, those who truly hold the position of master are the Great Luo Golden Immortals—yes, masters, not merely those who play a guiding role.

In the Destruction God Realm, those who break through from the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Primordial Golden Immortal will face a tremendous calamity.

Regardless of whether these cultivators are inherently bloodthirsty, having cultivated techniques capable of destroying divine realms to this level, they must have already committed a considerable amount of killing.

At the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Great Luo Golden Immortal's characteristic of eternal enlightenment can protect cultivators who destroy divine realms from the suffering of reincarnation.

However, when attempting to break through to the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, one must temporarily relinquish one's own Great Luo characteristics.

However, at this crucial moment of breakthrough, the slightest carelessness could result in a strong backlash, turning one into a destructive puppet that has lost its self-awareness.

Those cultivators who unfortunately become puppets of destruction can only become tools controlled by other cultivators.

Therefore, this action was nothing more than the destruction of the divine realm by a few noble-born Grand Luo Golden Immortals, who led their own Primordial Golden Immortal level puppets.

Of course, it's not accurate to assume that cultivators who destroy the divine realm are destined to become puppets controlled by others once they become Primordial Golden Immortals.

In fact, after these controlled puppet cultivators have gone through countless fierce battles, there is a possibility that they may awaken and regain their free will.

For those cultivators who aspire to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in the God of Destruction, they must deeply understand the crucial concept of "what is destruction".

When someone wields a sharp blade to kill, the one who actually carries out the killing is the person holding the handle, not the blade itself.

Similarly, cultivators in the God of Destruction Realm are inevitably affected by the dense aura of destruction around them from the very beginning of their journey on this path.

Therefore, they have to put in a lot of effort to figure out a key question: who is the master who controls the situation and holds the sharp blade?

Or is it merely a cold weapon, manipulated by others and devoid of self-awareness?

The reason Zhao Xuan showed no mercy when he attacked was because he was fully aware of the intricacies involved.

After all, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can have the ability to control a powerful puppet at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

If the puppeteer is not someone closely related to it, then once the puppet awakens and regains its senses, the consequences will be unimaginable; they will absolutely be furious and enraged.

Zhao Xuan saw through all of this, so he simply killed them.

He deliberately provoked the people who destroyed the divine realm through this extremely ruthless method, luring them to come and seek revenge.

These people are no ordinary individuals; they must be from powerful families. Otherwise, they would have no right to control a puppet at the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, even though they are only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Of course, Zhao Xuan also gained a lot of benefits.

More than a dozen experts at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level and dozens of experts at the Daluo Golden Immortal level all perished here.

Their own power and resources were all integrated into the mysterious Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation of the Myriad Treasures Refining Heaven Formation. After being refined, they were integrated into the mountains of the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain.

A massive amount of creation matter, spatial matter, and temporal matter were continuously integrated into the 181 mountains of the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain.

These precious substances, refined by the array, perfectly integrated with the mountain once refined.

In this way, not only was the solidity of many mountains within the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain greatly increased, but the entire mountain was also permeated with endless creative energy, making it as awe-inspiring as a divine mountain.

Of course, this is even more true for the mountain where the Fire Crow Sect, which serves as the main formation base, is located.
