287: Chapter Array Dao Heart

Gu Changge's Divine Thought swept across this desolate and silent Chaos, his gaze finally resting on the bronze immortal palace that floated in the Void Realm and appeared somewhat dim after losing its owner.

The immortal palace was ancient and weathered, its body covered with ancient, indecipherable runes. It now emitted a faint light, maintaining a delicate balance with the surrounding Chaos. Its gates were wide open, revealing a deep interior, like a giant maw.

He took a step, and his figure appeared before the immortal palace, but he did not enter immediately.

Dao runes circulated in his eyes, and the Eye of Illusory Breaking was pushed to its limit. He meticulously scanned every inch of the immortal palace, inside and out, and even the subtle Veins connecting to the Void Realm, several times over.

"There are no self-destruct Restrictions, no great killing Formations, and the core Formation has become ineffective with the annihilation of the main soul!

Hmm, it seems that the Immortal Emissary died suddenly and did not trigger any contingency plans. However, one must still be cautious."

After confirming there was no immediate danger, he calmly walked into the palace.

The space within the palace was far vaster than it appeared from the outside, as if it formed a Small World of its own.

Above the dome, starlight twinkled, evolving into a mysterious Formation diagram.

His gaze was immediately drawn to the scene in the center of the grand hall.

There, several energy Veins of varying colors and thicknesses floated, slowly wriggling and pulsating like living things, emitting a vast and pure Origin Qi!

One end of these Veins was deeply rooted in the Void Realm, extending to an unknown destination, while the other end converged towards a complex Formation Plate in the center of the hall.

Above the Formation Plate, several dazzling orbs of light shimmered, containing indescribable vitality and the profound mysteries of Law!

"World Origin!" Gu Changge's eyes narrowed.

These orbs of light varied in size and color.

Some were Xuanhuang in color, with a profound and ancient Qi, originating from the Xuanhuang Great World, but noticeably dimmer and thinner; these were the parts that had not yet been transported away.

Some were azure blue, filled with vast water spirit Qi; some were fiery red, scorching and violent like molten core lava; and some were verdant green, full of vitality like an early spring forest... Without exception, they all emitted unique and powerful world fluctuations, but at this moment, they were bound, refined, and gently suspended by the power of the Formation Plate, awaiting harvest.

Gu Changge's Divine Thought traced back along those energy Veins, and he instantly understood.

"So that's it. This immortal palace is not only the residence of that Sky-Patrolling Immortal Emissary, but also a plundering hub!"

He thought coldly, "Besides the Xuanhuang World, this person was also responsible for extracting the World Origin from three other Lower Realm at the same time!"

These Veins were connected to the world barriers in the distant Chaos, which emitted different lights!

This immortal palace was like a leech parasitic on multiple worlds, simultaneously sucking their life essence!

"What a vicious method!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

This kind of exhaustive plundering would eventually lead to the decline of numerous Great Worlds.

He did not hesitate.

With a sweep of his sleeve, he collected the several orbs of Origin belonging to different worlds that floated on the Formation Plate.

Especially the Xuanhuang Origin, which was warm to the touch and gave off a feeling of filial affection.

Then, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and immortal Qi flowed from his fingertips, transforming into several incomparably sharp sword lights, precisely striking the energy Veins connected to the different worlds!

"Chii! Chii! Chii!"

Where the sword light passed, the energy Veins snapped!

Like a parasite whose straw had been cut, the light at the severed ends rapidly dimmed, eventually dissipating completely into the Void Realm.

Almost at the same moment the Veins broke, Gu Changge keenly sensed that the light emitted by the corresponding world barriers in the distance seemed to fluctuate slightly.

It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted; although the change was extremely subtle, the sense of continuous blood loss and decay was indeed halted.

After completing all of this, Gu Changge carefully inspected the entire immortal palace again, confirming that there were no other hidden plundering Formations or dangerous Restrictions, before nodding slightly.

"The plundering has stopped, but this place is not suitable for long stays, nor can it be abandoned just like that."

The other party would certainly not let it go and would send people to investigate.

"System," he thought silently, "Fuse the Dao Heart of Formation."

This Dao Heart of Formation was obtained through his previous System sign-in and contained infinite profound mysteries of the Dao of Formation.

Only when one's cultivation reached the Immortal Realm could one attempt Fusion; after Fusion, it could elevate the host's Formation level to the Perfection of the Immortal Rank.

"Ding! Detected that host's cultivation has reached the True Immortal Realm, meeting the Fusion conditions. Beginning Fusion of 'Dao Heart of Formation' ..."

As the System prompt sounded, Gu Changge felt that in his Sea of Consciousness, the Dao Heart of Formation suddenly burst into brilliant light, transforming into a pure torrent of Formation Origin, merging into the depths of his Divine Soul!

Gu Changge felt as if his understanding of Formations had triggered an invisible rule switch, deeply rooted in the Origin of the Dao.

An indescribable, almost instinctive sense of clarity emerged spontaneously.

It was as if he was born to comprehend this Dao.

Countless profound insights into the principles, structures, energy flow, Law intertwining, Void Realm anchoring, and even the schemes to deceive the heavens and conceal the Dao of Formations naturally surfaced in his mind. They were not learned but rather directly bestowed upon him as corresponding authority and knowledge.

His Formation Realm instantly leaped in a way that defied logic!

The barrier of an Imperial Rank Formation Master shattered silently, and the Formation Dao Realm of Immortal Rank Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade... all the way to Immortal Rank Perfection, was achieved in an instant!

The entire process was calm and uneventful, lasting but a moment in the outside world.

Gu Changge opened his eyes again, his gaze clear, yet seemingly able to discern the truth and falsehood of all Formations in the world.

The energy Veins of the surrounding Void Realm, the Formation structure of the immortal palace beneath his feet, and even the core runes of the now ineffective Formation Plate, all became incredibly clear in his eyes, every detail visible, with no secrets left to hide.

"The System's power is indeed profound and unfathomable."

He sighed softly, immortal Qi naturally flowing from his fingertips, outlining a naturally formed Formation pattern in the Void Realm.

If the old monsters in the Immortal Realm who had studied the Dao of Formation for tens of thousands of years were to witness this scene, their Dao Hearts would likely tremble. This effortless technique, already touching the Origin of Formation Dao, was the nascent form of "Formation with a Single Thought" unique to the Immortal Rank Perfection Realm.

With this thought, a sharp glint flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

The Immortal Rank Perfection Formation Dao cultivation surged within him, giving him an unprecedented sense of control over this Void Realm.

He no longer hesitated. His hands suddenly rose, his ten fingers dancing like butterflies through flowers, leaving behind streaks of afterimages.

This time, what flowed from his fingertips was no longer mere immortal Qi, but countless Origin immortal patterns woven from immortal Qi and the supreme Law of Formation Dao!

These immortal patterns were dazzlingly complex, as if each stroke outlined the trajectory of the Great Dao. They silently merged into the walls and floor of the grand hall, even seeping into the Void Realm fissure, creating a deep resonance with this world.

"Great Void Sense Immortal Formation, condense!"

As he whispered in his heart, the entire immortal palace trembled almost imperceptibly, then returned to its original state.

But Gu Changge could clearly "see" that an invisible and intangible, yet all-encompassing, sensing net had been woven.

This Formation was extremely profound; its fluctuations were perfectly synchronized with the surrounding Chaos rhythm. If one did not scrutinize carefully, it would be easy to mistake it for naturally existing Void Realm ripples.

And once any probe with clear malicious intent or power exceeding the critical threshold touched this net, no matter how many layers of space separated them, he would instantly sense it!
