Gu Zhiyun lived up to expectations and returned to Qingxuan Sect! Daxia elixir, start refining!

Within the Great Formation, terrifying killing power constantly intertwined, and roars resounded without end. The mere aftershocks that escaped caused ripples in the surrounding space.

Li Fan stood to the side, his heart in his throat.

"Brother Mo, Miss Gu... she'll be alright, right?"

He looked at the Great Formation; the Qi within it was too frightening, causing waves of palpitations in his heart.

Lin Mo didn't speak, only watched silently.

This killing Formation, personally laid down by the Formation Dao Emperor's imprint, was absolutely extraordinary in its power.

It was likely that even a Soul Transformation Cultivator, if they didn't understand Formations, wouldn't fare well if they fell into it.

And although Gu Zhiyun's Formation Dao attainments were impressive, she was ultimately only in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

To say he wasn't worried would be a lie.

But, this was her own choice.

The path of cultivation was inherently Heaven-Defying, contending with Heaven, battling with Earth, and fighting for life with people.

Without a Dao Heart that embraced death to seek life, how could one glimpse the scenery of the supreme Dao?

"We must believe in her," Lin Mo said lightly.

Time flowed by, second by second.

The roaring sound from within the Great Formation, which had been earth-shattering at first, gradually became intermittent, and finally so faint it was almost inaudible.

Li Fan's expression of worry grew heavier.

Even Lin Mo's brows gradually furrowed.

Could it be... a failure?

Just as both of them were gradually losing hope...

Boom!

An unprecedentedly loud bang suddenly erupted!

The entire killing Formation trembled violently, and then, the countless complex and profound Formation patterns shattered inch by inch, turning into a sky full of light specks that dissipated into the Void Realm.

The Great Formation was broken!

Gu Zhiyun's disheveled figure stumbled out, a trace of blood still at the corner of her mouth, her aura extremely weak.

But on her pretty face, an incomparably brilliant smile bloomed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo also smiled.

This meant that Gu Zhiyun had successfully passed the test!

"Very good."

"With such Heart-Nature and such Foundation, you are worthy of my Legacy."

Just then, the majestic Formation Dao Emperor's phantom spoke again, and a grand will echoed throughout the entire starry sky.

"You have passed the test and are qualified to receive this Emperor's Legacy."

"Remember this Emperor's name — Xuan Chen!"

Formation Dao Emperor Xuan Chen!

The moment he heard this title, Lin Mo froze abruptly.

Immediately after, an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy instantly swept through his heart!

Formation Dao Emperor Xuan Chen!

It really was that Formation Dao Emperor!

The Myriad Origins Return to One Great Formation that he needed most was precisely from the hands of this Formation Dao Emperor!

It was truly like searching high and low for something, only to find it effortlessly!

Now, the opportunity for Great Xia's rise had fallen into place!

Lin Mo forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the scene.

He saw the Formation Dao Emperor Xuan Chen's phantom point from afar, and a brilliant stream of light containing infinite Formation Dao mysteries instantly cut through the Void Realm and merged into Gu Zhiyun's glabella.

Gu Zhiyun's delicate body trembled violently, and a slightly pained expression appeared on her face, clearly indicating she was receiving the vast and boundless Legacy information.

A moment later, the stream of light dissipated.

The Formation Dao Emperor Xuan Chen's phantom gave Lin Mo a deep look, seemingly with a hidden meaning, then slowly dissipated, turning into nothingness.

Immediately after, the three of them felt a distortion in the surrounding space, followed by an irresistible force that repelled them.

When they regained their senses, they were already back in Hidden Dragon Valley.

And behind them, the ancient Secret Realm light gate had long since disappeared.

"Ah, this is great!"

"I finally succeeded in obtaining the Legacy of a Formation Dao Emperor!"

After coming out of the Secret Realm, the heavy pressure on Gu Zhiyun's body was instantly swept away, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.

Then, she looked at Lin Mo, her face full of gratitude.

"Big shot, thank you so much for helping me!"

"Otherwise, this Legacy might have been beyond my reach!"

Lin Mo heard this and waved his hand: "We each got what we needed, no need for thanks."

He paused, then asked somewhat impatiently: "By the way, does this Legacy contain the Myriad Origins Return to One Great Formation?"

"I don't know yet. The Legacy I just received is the introductory volume of the 'Profound Heaven Creation Formation Collection.'"

"Although it's only the introductory volume, the Great Formations contained within it are unbelievably numerous!"

"So, to find out if there are any clues related to the Myriad Origins Return to One Great Formation, I'll have to sift through it carefully!"

Gu Zhiyun also knew that Lin Mo seemed very eager about this Formation,

but she couldn't confirm for a while whether this imperial scripture actually contained the Myriad Origins Return to One Great Formation.

"Is that so?"

"Then, why don't you come back to my Sect with me first, and then find a place to organize it carefully?" Lin Mo asked tentatively.

"Uh... go to the big shot's Sect?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit inconvenient?"

"After all, within those large Sects, rules are always strict..."

Gu Zhiyun hesitated.

She now completely didn't believe that Lin Mo was from Canglin Domain.

After all, Canglin Domain was just a small domain ranked at the bottom of Shengyang Prefecture. How could it produce a Prodigy like Lin Mo?

The Sect he came from was probably some super-large Sect!

It would likely be very inconvenient for an outsider like herself to go there rashly.

"Strict rules?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo's expression immediately became strange.

Leaving aside that his convenient Revered Master was the Qingxuan Sect Revered Master.

Just considering his current strength, couldn't he have the final say within the Qingxuan Sect?

Qingxuan Sect's rules existed, but they could no longer completely restrain him.

Rather, now, his rules were the rules of Qingxuan Sect!

"Heh heh, I think you might have misunderstood something."

"My Sect's rules are not strict."

"And what I say in the Sect is quite effective."

"So, just rest assured."

Lin Mo explained with a smile.

Li Fan, beside him, nodded repeatedly.

Of course, Brother Mo's words were effective.

Joking... how could the words of an existence who could easily crush a Nascent Soul expert not be effective in a Sect that, at most, had a Golden Core Cultivator overseeing it?

Now in Qingxuan Sect, even the Sect Master would have to bow and respectfully salute when seeing Brother Mo, right?

"Is that so!"

"Alright then, big shot, I'll go back with you."

Lin Mo had already said so much, so it would be unwise for Gu Zhiyun not to agree.

She nodded and agreed very obediently.

Lin Mo had the intention of winning over this technical talent, and she also began to harbor thoughts of clinging to a powerful figure.

A Prodigy who could comprehend sixty percent of Sword Intent at this age was a rare existence in the entire Shengyang Prefecture, like a Phoenix feather or a Dragon scale.

Only a fool wouldn't seize such an opportunity!

"Hmm, brother, what about you?"

After successfully coaxing Gu Zhiyun, Lin Mo looked at Li Fan again.

Li Fan, in his eyes now, had changed quite a bit.

Not only had his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, but even his spirit and energy were different.

This kid must have obtained some Heaven-Defying fortuitous encounter.

It was even highly likely that it came from the unremarkable iron sword in his hand.

Perhaps, an Old Grandfather lived inside that sword!

However, Lin Mo showed no covetousness for this.

No matter how awesome the Old Grandfather was, he was not as good as a single hair of the System!

Otherwise, Li Fan's current strength would have to be higher than his.

"Go back to the Sect with Brother Mo?"

Li Fan was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, after leaving Qingxuan Sect, he never thought he could go back.

His main reason for leaving initially was actually fear that his cultivation would advance rapidly in a short period, leading to suspicion from the Sect Elders and even the Sect Master.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

However, now... Brother Mo, this towering tree, was clearly much more eye-catching than his small sapling!

With Brother Mo around, he seemed to have no need for such worries anymore?

Thinking of this, Li Fan no longer hesitated and immediately nodded.

"Okay, Brother Mo, I'll go back with you too."

"Alright, then let's go!"

Seeing that both of them were willing to follow him, Lin Mo didn't waste any more words and immediately activated his considerably recovered spiritual power to carry the two of them into the sky.

Neither of them was in the Spirit Sea Realm, so he had to take them flying.

Soon, Lin Mo adjusted his direction and headed towards Qingxuan Sect... Blue Star, Great Xia!

Within a deep mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist, a heavily guarded secret military base rose from the ground in just over a month!

At this moment, in the central square of this base, several tall Pill Furnaces, gleaming with metallic luster, stood majestically.

Around the Pill Furnaces were a group of Old Daoist Priests with white hair, dressed in ancient Daoist robes.

Their faces were all filled with an indescribable excitement and fervor.

It was as if, before their eyes, what was about to happen was not a simple experiment, but a great moment that could change the history of an entire civilization.

A moment later, as all preparations were complete,

Daoist Master Xuan Chen, who was leading them, slowly stepped forward.

Then, he tremblingly raised his hand and entered the final command on a huge touch screen.

"Activate the furnace!"

With his command, fierce flames immediately gushed out from the bottom of the Pill Furnace!

Thus, Great Xia's first batch of Medicinal Pills officially began refining!
