188: Ziyang's Dilemma

You are overjoyed—your biggest weakness currently is your movement speed. After all, even if your original martial arts Cultivation Technique was cultivated to Perfection, it can no longer keep up with your current needs.

Although your Nascent Soul Cultivation allows for short-distance teleportation, you cannot sustain it, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Physical Body cannot yet withstand the pressure of spatial barriers.

With these light evasion boots, wouldn't it be equivalent to infinitely approaching instantaneous movement?

When refining such special top-grade Magic Treasures, a trace of the Law Power is usually incorporated, so a Magic Treasure itself is equivalent to a Spell Divine Ability.

Unless you Breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm—

When the Primordial Spirit reaches Perfection, the Physical Body reaches Perfection, and the Realm reaches Perfection, the three bodies unite to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, and the life level will evolve to a new height.

Only after the life level is enhanced can one initially comprehend and master the Law Power, thereby performing various Law Divine Abilities, such as instantaneous movement that ignores spatial barriers, Law Domain, and Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, among others.

You put on the light evasion boots, and your gaze immediately turns to the row of Spirit Treasures.

Among them, a dark cloak catches your attention—it seems woven from crushed starlight, with a mercury-like luster flowing across its surface. Though close at hand, it gives a sense of etherealness, as if separated by layers of Void Realm.

"What is this Spirit Treasure called? What does it do?"

"Don't even think about the Spirit Treasure; it's reserved for the heir. Moreover, you haven't yet comprehended the Law Power, so even if you possessed a Spirit Treasure, you wouldn't be able to unleash its full power."

"I was just asking!" you replied with a smile.

"It's called the 'Void Cloak.' After refining it and putting it on, your form can merge into the Void Realm, allowing for Void Realm travel and instantaneous movement. Its effect is comparable to the innate Divine Ability of a Void Refining Cultivator."

After hearing the Artifact Spirit's introduction, your heart was filled with excitement—

If you wore this Void Cloak, wouldn't you be able to suddenly appear and defeat any Nascent Soul Cultivator with a single move?

Even if the opponent's Nascent Soul wanted to escape, you could easily catch up, right?

This is simply a dimensionality reduction strike!

No wonder it's often said that Cultivators with Spirit Treasures and those without are completely different; the Divine Ability of this Spirit Treasure is truly Heaven-Defying.

You began to pester, saying many good things, but the Artifact Spirit remained unyielding.

You had no choice but to take a step back and ask, "Then, is there a teleportation Formation that can instantly move a million li?"

"There is a Distance-less Teleportation Array, which is a small Void Realm teleportation Formation created based on the cross-Realm teleportation Formations of various Star Continents," the Artifact Spirit replied.

"However, this Formation will also be affected by the Great Void Sealing Array, so giving it to you now would be useless," it added.

"Why?"

"Currently, the entire Tianyang Star has been sealed by Liu Xuanyin with the Great Void Sealing Array, and more than half of the forces and countless Cultivators are searching for your whereabouts."

"Ah—? Then what should I do?"

"Don't panic. This immortal palace is a top-tier Void Realm Spirit Treasure; no one can find us."

"That's not what I mean. I can't hide here forever, can I?"

"Why not? You can Cultivate in peace here and improve your strength."

You shook your head helplessly. You knew very well that with your Aptitude, without a Cultivation environment like the time-space pagoda, you would probably exhaust your lifespan and still struggle to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

By then, the Artifact Spirit might even laugh at you.

Death is not terrifying, but the last shred of dignity must be preserved.

However, you felt that the Distance-less Teleportation Array might be useful in the future, so you asked the Artifact Spirit to give it to you.

The Distance-less Teleportation Array was a refined, profound Formation Plate, only palm-sized, entirely forged from Void Realm crystal, with silver spatial runes flowing across its surface.

Once mastered, with just a thought, a ten-meter diameter Formation base could be laid. When the Formation is complete, silver light flows, resonating with the Void Realm.

However, this Formation must be set up in pairs—the two Formations, like Yin and Yang giving birth to each other, can cross mountains and rivers, traveling back and forth in an instant.

Then you continued to pester the Artifact Spirit, asking for some "ordinary" Heaven And Earth Treasures, such as immortal medicine, Five Elements ganoderma, Grand Void Illusory Grass, azure sky marvel fruit, and divine wood spirit peach, among others.

For Nascent Soul Cultivators, these could save at least several years of Cultivation time.

You were surprised that, apart from the top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasures it stubbornly refused to part with, it was quite generous with these Heaven And Earth Treasures that enhanced strength.

Nineteenth Year—

After more than a year of practice, you finally completely mastered the use of the Distance-less Teleportation Array Formation Plate.

You didn't expect this secret Formation, which was already a refined Formation Plate, to be so complex to set up.

The Formation Plate contains eighteen thousand profound inscription mechanisms, requiring your Divine Sense to be divided into thousands, like moving an arm, simultaneously activating all pivotal points to achieve instantaneous Formation completion with a single thought.

You still remember that the first time you tried to set up the Formation, it took you a whole month to barely complete it.

Now, with just a gentle touch of your fingertip on the Formation Plate, thousands of silver threads scatter like a rain of stars, and flowing Void Realm inscriptions instantly appear on the ground—only then is the great Formation considered complete.

The Artifact Spirit was quite puzzled by your progress—in its view, you should be a one-in-ten-thousand Genius, so why did it take you over a year to master an existing Formation Plate?

You gave it an awkward smile: "Senior Artifact Spirit, please send me out. I have important matters to attend to."

Because you must figure out a hidden danger—why Liu Xuanyin wanted to kill you because of the immortal slaying sword.

If you don't know the reason, your real-world self will always be in danger.

The Artifact Spirit said no more, and a clear ray of light enveloped you, teleporting you out of the immortal palace.

When you reappeared, you were in a boundless barren plain.

You raised your hand and summoned the Distance-less Teleportation Array Formation Plate. As your thoughts turned, your Divine Sense transformed into thousands of tiny streams, injecting into it—

One hundred and eight silver lights plunged into the earth, and the hidden Formation base quietly merged with the earth's pulse.

As long as it's not activated, even a powerful Cultivator would find it difficult to detect this hidden great Formation beneath their feet.

You took one last look at the Formation eye's location, then transformed into the appearance of an old man, soaring towards the sky like a startled swan.

After half a year of hiding, you finally mustered the courage to go to Tianyang City—through the Slave Contract Secret Method, you sensed that Ru Yan was in the city.

In the past six months, countless Cultivators and various forces on Tianyang Star have been searching for your whereabouts, but these low-level Cultivators naturally cannot see through your Illusionary Form Technique.

Suddenly—

A fight ahead caught your attention.

Your Divine Sense swept over, and you discovered that it was actually a group from Ziyang Star caught in a bitter struggle—they were being besieged by Hu Yanfeng, Fairy Zhiyun, Vast Emptiness Master, and Ji Yunfeng, who only had an inch-long Nascent Soul remaining.

The battlefield was divided into three areas, and the situation was extremely critical—

In the highest sky, Peak Master Wuji, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, was fiercely battling Hu Yanfeng, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator. Although Peak Master Wuji had not yet been defeated, the difference in cultivation was gradually making him feel pressured.

Peak Master Wuji knew it wouldn't be difficult to escape alone, but he absolutely could not abandon everyone.

What worried him even more was that this was Tianyang Star's territory, and any passing Cultivators would likely assist Hu Yanfeng's side.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, Ziyang Star and Tianyang Star have never had any grievances, so why incur such Karma?" Peak Master Wuji swept away an incoming fire cloud with a sword, asking in a deep voice.

"Hahaha!" Hu Yanfeng laughed, his offensive even fiercer, "Originally, Fellow Daoist Ji was interested in your Physical Body, but now that the Lin family's young master has taken your place, why be so stubborn? Retreat now, and we'll call it even!"

"Wouldn't that be an act of injustice?!" Peak Master Wuji roared, his sword transforming into a long rainbow, but it was steadily blocked by the opponent's Magic Treasure.
