336: Repair the grand formation and uncover its secrets

With the two Dao Artifacts upgraded, Shen Yuanmo reined in his overwhelming sense of arrogance and dominance.

He knew that now was not the time to celebrate.

Right now, there was one final, most important task waiting for him.

Repairing that cross-Realm teleportation Formation!

This was his ultimate goal for this trip, and the key to whether he could leave the Chiming Realm and embark on the path of a true powerhouse.

Shen Yuanmo put away the Magic Treasures, calmed his agitated mind, and flickered his figure.

He arrived at the original site of the altar where the cross-Realm teleportation Formation was located; after he had refined this altar along with the Law Resentment Spirit, only a bare foundation remained.

However, the foundation and core structure of the cross-Realm teleportation Formation had been preserved intact under Shen Yuanmo's protection.

He sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and adjusted his state to be as calm as an ancient well.

A moment later, his eyes snapped open.

" [ Heaven-Defying Comprehension ], activate! "

Golden divine light erupted from the depths of his eyes, and his pupils instantly transformed into two infinitely deep golden vortices, as if they could absorb the Origin of all things in the world and see through them completely!

[ Insight into Origin ] initiated!

In his vision, the ancient Formation, which had long since turned into ruins with only the most basic foundation remaining, shed all its temporal disguises, revealing its most primitive and core structure.

Countless energy lines, billions of times thinner than a strand of hair, intersected within the foundation like the meridians of a human body, forming an unimaginably complex network.

Every intersection corresponded to an extremely profound space rune.

Some of these runes were still intact, emitting faint spatial fluctuations.

But most of them had long since become dim, broken, or even completely annihilated due to the erosion of endless years and the intense battle just now.

" So that's how it is... "

As the analysis deepened, a look of shock uncontrollably appeared on Shen Yuanmo's face.

" The design philosophy of this Formation isn't simply to open a spatial passage, but to use the Formation as a guide to forcibly twist and fold the space between worlds! "

" By using the entire world itself as a node for spatial teleportation and drawing upon the power of the vast Universe's stars to guide the voyage... This... This is simply masterful workmanship! "

Shen Yuanmo sighed in heartfelt admiration.

The ancient mighty figure who created this Formation had reached a Realm in their understanding of Space Law and application of the Dao of Formations that he could never have imagined before!

This was no longer just a simple Formation!

This was tampering with the rules of the Universe!

No wonder this Formation was scrapped; with the Chiming Realm's current state of depleted Spiritual Qi and incomplete Laws, it was impossible to support such a grand concept.

Shen Yuanmo forcibly suppressed the shock in his mind and began to devote all his focus to deducing the repair of the Formation.

" [ Perfect Deduction ], activate! "

Within his Sea of Consciousness, an unprecedented, heaven-toppling wave surged!

A massive, three-dimensional model, identical to the foundation before him, took shape with a roar in his Sea of Consciousness!

Immediately after, he began to perform millions of frenzied simulations in his mind, based on the Formation structure analyzed by [ Insight into Origin ]!

Which type of space crystal should be used to repair this broken rune?

What kind of material should be used for that severed energy line to withstand the terrifying energy impact upon activation?

How should he use his understanding of the Chaos Great Dao to perform a brand new, more perfect reconstruction of these completely annihilated core nodes?

The properties of countless Materials, the combinations of countless runes, the paths of countless energy lines...

Everything was colliding, combining, optimizing, and being reborn in his mind at a speed that transcended the concept of time and space!

The consumption of Divine Sense during this process was unimaginable.

Even with Shen Yuanmo's terrifying Divine Sense, which was comparable to the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, he felt waves of tearing pain originating from the depths of his Soul.

It was as if countless steel needles were fiercely and repeatedly piercing his Divine Soul!

His face gradually turned pale, and a fine layer of cold sweat seeped out on his forehead.

But he did not stop!

His Dao Heart was as firm as a rock, and his eyes, which had transformed into golden vortices, became even brighter and more focused instead!

He knew that for him, this was not just a simple repair job.

It was a once-in-a-millennium Opportunity that could allow him to make a qualitative leap in his understanding of Space Law and the Dao of Formations!

Time slipped away second by second in this boring and dangerous deduction.

Unknowingly, half a year had quietly passed.

During these six months, Shen Yuanmo did not sleep or rest, pouring all his focus into this massive project.

Finally!

In a certain instant, when the very last brand new Chaos Rune, created by his own hands and perfectly integrated into the entire Formation system, was successfully constructed in his Sea of Consciousness model.

Boom—!

His entire Sea of Consciousness suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of divine light!

All the deductions and all the simulations fused together at this moment!

A brand new, more stable, and lower energy-consuming [ cross-Realm teleportation Formation ] repair plan, which could even perfectly accommodate his Chaos energy, had taken shape in his mind!

" It's done! "

Shen Yuanmo slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the golden vortices that had been operating for half a year finally calmed down, returning to their original pitch-black depth.

Although his face was full of fatigue, there was even more of an indescribable, heartfelt excitement and satisfaction!

He did not rest at all and immediately began the repairs!

With a wave of his hand.

Countless rare Artifact Refining Materials, which had long since gone extinct in the Chiming Realm and would drive any Grandmaster of Artifact Refining crazy, poured out from his Storage Ring like a small mountain!

Ten-thousand-year Void Gazer Stones!

Nine Heavens Star Iron!

Taiyi Fine Gold!

These were all spoils of war he had obtained while slaying various powerful enemies, and he had never found a suitable use for them until now.

Who would have thought that today, they would finally come in handy!

" Chaos True Fire, rise! "

Shen Yuanmo let out a low shout, and within his Dantian, the chaos myriad dao nascent soul opened its small mouth once again.

A golden Chaos True Fire, containing the Origin of myriad Daos, blazed up and completely enveloped the mountain of rare Materials!

In just a few breaths, these divine metals and strange irons, which were indestructible in the outside world, were subjected to the incomparably tyrannical high temperature of the Chaos True Fire.

They were all smelted down, turning into balls of extremely pure Material essence that shimmered with various colors!

Immediately after, Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense transformed into an invisible, divine pen that seemed capable of writing the Laws of Heaven and Earth!

Dipping into those Material essences, using the Void Realm as a canvas and his Divine Sense as a pen tip.

He began to draw the missing and broken Formation runes stroke by stroke, following the perfect blueprint he had already deduced millions of times in his mind!

Every stroke he made was incredibly precise and steady!

This was an incredibly boring and meticulous task!

It required the refiner's control of energy to reach a level of subtlety, or even beyond subtlety!

Any slight mistake or any loss of control over the energy could lead to all previous efforts being wasted, or even trigger a chain explosion of the entire Formation!

Time flew by again as Shen Yuanmo focused entirely on the repairs.

Another long half-year passed.

When Shen Yuanmo exhausted the last piece of Ten-thousand-year Void Gazer Stone on his body, using his Divine Sense as a guide to imprint the very last, incomparably profound Chaos space rune he had drawn precisely back into the core of the foundation.

Hum—!

A long, distant hum, as if coming from the ancient past, filled with endless vicissitudes and joy, suddenly sounded from the teleportation Formation that had been silent for endless years!

Immediately after!

The entire massive foundation, standing a thousand zhang tall, suddenly erupted with a blinding, billion-zhang divine light of space that seemed capable of illuminating the entire dim seabed!

Those Formation runes that Shen Yuanmo had re-engraved and even optimized seemed to be imbued with life at this moment!

They lit up one by one, in succession!

From the edge of the foundation to the top of the altar!

Finally, they converged into a vast, boundless, brilliant galaxy composed of countless space runes!

A vast power of space, large enough to distort the Laws of this world, surged into the sky from the center of the Formation!

It forcefully pushed away the violent spatial and temporal turbulence in the surrounding thousand-mile radius!

" Phew... "

Looking at the magnificent Formation before him, which was almost brand new and exuded supreme Divine Might, Shen Yuanmo finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

His face was filled with undisguised fatigue, and an even deeper, heartfelt sense of accomplishment!

It was done!

This [ cross-Realm teleportation Formation ] had finally been reborn in his hands!

However, before he could be happy for too long.

A new and even more thorny problem followed.
