Chapter 674: Chapter 366: Twenty-Two Bases
Just like that, several decades passed.
The ancient cultivator disciples of the Yuhua Immortal Sect rarely appeared within the sect, instead using the cross-border transmission array to travel between various worlds and the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
They established cultivation families, sects, and various organizations across different worlds... seemingly inconspicuous, yet omnipresent, supporting each other through Chenzhong Cave Heaven as a point of contact, aiding each other in times of need...
In this way, the two major cultivation systems of the Yuhua Immortal Sect have mostly split, having little influence on each other.
Moreover, the newly recruited ancient cultivator disciples of the nine great palaces are mainly ascenders from the Divine Sword Sect of the Longevity Realm, accounting for over sixty percent, and thirty percent are descendants of old disciples.
Only ten percent are used to recruit disciples from the other system of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
During these years, Li Qian and Wu Shuang rarely made appearances.
After all, with the current state of the Yuhua Immortal Palace, the nine palaces and five institutes are already very well established, hardly requiring their intervention.
Wu Shuang has been in seclusion cultivating all this time.
And Li Qian’s progress in array formations had been stuck at the twenty-one foundation 99 progress point, so he devoted more time and energy to it.
Not only that, he also sought out array formation books across various worlds.
He basically determined why his skills in array formation had stalled.
Very simply, twenty-two foundations represent a limit in array dao... different array dao offer different choices... but Li Qian doesn’t plan to follow the direction of the Bright King Array Scripture, and naturally, he can’t rely on borrowing it for breakthroughs.
Because the array formation dao that represents Li Qian doesn’t yet have its own direction.
All his prior arrays were about absorbing the essence and discarding the dross, merging them into one.
But this is precisely the barrier to stepping into the twenty-two foundation array formation.
He must truly establish a theory of array dao that belongs to him during this period.
Only by doing this can he truly step into the ranks of the twenty-two foundation Array Masters and open up the space for advancement in array formations.
So for these decades, Li Qian was troubled, traveling across all worlds of the Thirty-Three Heavens, searching for his own direction in array dao.
.....
The Thirteenth Heaven.
Moon Shadow City.
This is a city under the control of Danxia Temple.
Although the strength of Danxia Temple has not reached the level of an immortal sect, they do possess strong Daoist-level individuals.
And Moon Shadow City is also quite well-known in the Thirteenth Heaven.
Mainly because the location of this city features the unique phenomenon of the moon’s shadow illuminating the earth.
Whenever there is a night with a moon, the entire Moon Shadow City is shrouded in strange moonlight, clearly visible, and even more pronounced during full moon nights.
Of course, this wonder is all there is, without any other unusual occurrences.
For thousands of years, no one has been able to explain the origin of this phenomenon.
However, a knowledgeable Array Master passed by this city, pointing out that this place might have a natural array, causing the moon tides.
The problem is, if there truly were a natural array, it would inevitably cause anomalies in nature’s spiritual energy, particularly the tidal phenomenon of lunar spiritual energy.
In fact, Moon Shadow City has no anomalies in nature’s spiritual energy.
Even on the most apparent full moon nights, aside from the moonlight enveloping the city as if the moon had descended to the earth, there are no other unusual occurrences.
As night fell.
In a residential house within the city.
Li Qian leaned against an eave, holding a wine gourd, taking a small sip while gazing at the full moon in the sky.
Next to him, a medium-sized black dog lazily lay.
Tonight is a full moon night.
Thus, the moonlight in Moon Shadow City is exceptionally bright, almost as if it’s dawn and the sun hasn’t risen yet, but the light is already very clear.
He had been staying in this Moon Shadow City for over half a year.
He even rented a house here, spending his days studying the unique phenomena of Moon Shadow City.
In truth, he had discovered something.
As an ancient cultivator of the Unity Realm with the Frosty Law World Tree reaching level four, coupled with twenty-one foundation in array formations... he had a basic judgment on the peculiar phenomena of Moon Shadow City.
The space where Moon Shadow City is located is very special... which causes the moonlight to refract strongly in this region, thus forming a phenomenon of reflected moonshadow.
So, there was nothing to the moonshadow phenomenon.
What truly intrigued Li Qian was the space of Moon Shadow City....
Moreover, the uniqueness of Moon Shadow City’s space also provided him a glimpse of his array dao direction.
That’s why he made a long-term stay, aiming to perfect the Qianyuan Array Manual through studying the space of Moon Shadow City, thus stepping into the ranks of a twenty-two foundation Array Master.
After a long while, Li Qian took another sip of wine and suddenly froze slightly while looking at the full moon in the sky.
His mind seemed to open up at that moment.
"Chen Bell... perhaps this is my direction in array dao."
Li Qian murmured to himself.
In the next moment, he directly entered the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
Dong!
A clear and resonant sound of a bell rang out.
Li Qian was bathed in the sound of the bell, surrounded by numerous Dao artifacts flying around him, as many as a hundred and ninety-eight in total.
Suddenly, these Dao artifacts trembled intensely, like ten thousand swords returning to their origin, gradually assembling together, ultimately forming into a peculiar bell shape that encompassed Li Qian, spinning rapidly.
Following this, the sword-bell suddenly expanded, forming a series of twenty-two small sword-bells, spread across different directions, merging with the Frosty Law Domain, shifting at will, until finally, the twenty-two small sword-bells reconvened into a large bell shape, suddenly shrinking to form a peculiar small bell that fell into Li Qian’s palm.
