200: Star Space

Cultivation Chamber.

A cyan python and a large cyan bird appeared in the room, both staring blankly at Liu Xuan, their eyes as clear as those of a college student.

"Hey!"

"It's those damn cubs again!"

Fortunately, they were better than the newborns like the Black Crystal Bees and the Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise; these two guys were at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage the moment they were brought out.

With their high-Rank Bloodline (up to Rank 4), their combat power should be incomparable to ordinary Early Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beasts.

But they were still a bit of a burden. Their Bloodlines were too high; once exposed, they would easily attract the covetous gaze of high-Rank Cultivators. Right now, they weren't as useful as low-Rank Bloodline Yao Beasts.

'I'll raise them for now! They will be the Foundation of my Liu Family in the future.'

He looked at the cyan python and instructed: "From now on, you will stay at the bottom of the lake obediently. Do not come out without my orders!"

Then he looked at the large cyan bird, "You will stay on the jade phoenix tree. Do not fly around without my orders either!"

"Understood, Master!"

"Understood, Master!"

Two childish voices rang out in Liu Xuan's Divine Soul, one male and one female, extremely obedient.

Hearing their voices, Liu Xuan automatically pictured them as children, and his attitude softened. He gently warned:

"You must hide your auras in daily life. Otherwise, if you get targeted by bad people, I'll have no choice but to give you away, understand?"

The two guys showed human-like fear in their eyes, and their bodies instantly shrank to the size of an ordinary small snake and small bird.

"Understood! Understood!"

"Please Master, don't give us away~"

...

Liu Xuan found it funny; they might be the timidest Foundation Establishment Stage great Yao Beasts!

After settling the Cyan Flood Dragon and the Cyan Luan, Liu Xuan took out the last grand prize to check it.

A bright white disk appeared in front of him, with countless star-like beads of various sizes floating above it.

These beads emitted a gentle spiritual light, with mysterious and complex runes flowing upon them. Even with Liu Xuan's current Divine Soul strength, he felt a bit dizzy.

The material of the disk was neither gold nor jade, presenting a bright white color like starlight. Mysterious runes also flowed upon it. Watching it for a little too long gave one the feeling of gazing up at the starry sky.

Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array, a Rank 4 top-tier Formation. Its complete form was enough to withstand a Rank 5 Divine Transformation Cultivator—outrageously strong!

'It's impressive, sure, but I have no way to use it!!'

The System reward was too Advanced. Liu Xuan currently had no way to unleash even one-ten-thousandth of the power of such a high-level Formation.

White Crane Lake only had a tier 2 medium grade Spiritual Vein. Even if he set up a Rank 4 top-tier Formation, there wouldn't be enough Spiritual Qi to support it!

'Forget it! Let's set it up and try. It's better than the One Yuan Water Dragon Grand Array that was damaged twice, right!'

His Divine Soul probed into the Formation Plate. Countless mysterious Heaven and Earth rules emerged in Liu Xuan's mind. For a Formation of this level, even simple manipulation contained incomparably complex Heaven and Earth rules.

"Hiss!"

Liu Xuan felt a splitting headache. He only chose to watch the simple parts he could understand and ignored the rest.

With Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was impossible to fully control a Rank 4 top-tier Grand Array. Forcing himself to watch Advanced content would result in injury to his Divine Soul.

Being able to master some simple parts was already good. He could study the Advanced content slowly later; there was no need to rush for success.

One hour later.

Liu Xuan brought the Formation Plate and escaped underground, placing it one hundred meters beneath the center of Lake Heart Island.

Countless 'star beads' dispersed and evenly fused into every node of the underground Spiritual Vein.

"Hum~"

The clouds cleared above White Crane Lake. It was deep night, revealing the bright moon and the starry sky.

"Huh~"

"Why is the celestial phenomenon so strange today?"

Wang Qiao stood by the building looking up at the sky, feeling that the stars were brighter than usual, but he couldn't tell exactly what was strange about it.

The starry sky was mysterious and unpredictable. One star might be a vast world. Wang Qiao only knew a little about this; strange celestial phenomena were normal. He was just a little curious and had no intention of investigating further.

Underground, Liu Xuan discovered that after the initial setup of the Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array, a continuous stream of Star Power gathered, causing the Rank of the Spiritual Vein to improve slightly.

'It actually has the effect of improving the Spiritual Vein!'

Spiritual Veins were mysterious things involving the entire Cultivation World's spiritual energy network. Their creation and disappearance contained world rules. Even Nascent Soul or even Divine Transformation Cultivators found it difficult to change them, only capable of minor adjustments.

The Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array shouldn't be directly strengthening the Spiritual Vein itself; it was just drawing in Star Power and fusing it into the Spiritual Vein, disguisedly increasing the Spiritual Vein's Rank a little.

"This is..."

Liu Xuan's gaze was attracted by a point of light at the core of the Spiritual Vein. He felt that inside the point of light... was a space.

With a flicker, Liu Xuan appeared beside the point of light. The Formation light flashed, and he disappeared entirely.

"There really is a space!!"

The description of the Grand Array he had read appeared in his mind. It seemed it did indeed record that the Grand Array could gather Star Power to open up a dimensional space.

This part belonged to Advanced content. Liu Xuan only knew how to enter and exit; he couldn't control the space specifically for now.

This Star Space was similar to the space in a Storage Pouch. Without controlling the core of the Formation, outsiders could not enter.

Its essence was similar to a Storage Pouch, but more Advanced. Not only could living things enter and exit, but it was also filled with pure Spiritual Qi, which could be used as a place for seclusion and Cultivation.

Besides this, the Star Space was the core of the entire Grand Array. It could gather the entire Spiritual Vein and countless Star Power to suppress enemies. Once a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was trapped inside, they would have no power to resist.

Looking closely at the Star Space, it was spherical, with a diameter of about ten meters—just the size of a room.

'It's a bit small!'

Although it would slowly grow with the gathering of Star Power, constrained by the Rank of the Spiritual Vein here, it could grow to at most one hundred meters.

Although the Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array could invoke Star Power, it was essentially built upon the Spiritual Vein.

If the Grand Array was compared to a machine, the Spiritual Vein was the engine and fuel, and Star Power was just the product.

To unleash more powerful strength from the Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array, it had to be set up on a higher-level Spiritual Vein.

For example, the Red Pine Sect's Third-Tier Spirit Vein would be enough to support the Star Space to grow to a diameter of one thousand meters, fully capable of being used as the core Secret Realm of a Family.

If one had the ability to set it up at a Rank 4 Nascent Soul Daoist site, it could basically be used as a Small World, which would be miraculously infinite.

He didn't need to think about the Nascent Soul Daoist site for now. He could start considering the Sect.

After killing True Person Xiao and becoming the boss of the Sect, he would set up the Grand Array, and the Family's Foundation would be completely Major Achievement!

The Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array was incredibly mysterious. This Star Space seemed empty, but it also contained countless rules.

Liu Xuan was attracted by its novelty and remained immersed in it for the entire second half of the night, only leaving in the early morning.

'The Grand Array has only been set up with a bit of surface-level functionality, but its Rank 4 top-tier essence is here. It should be able to instantly kill all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but I wonder if it can block a Golden Core True Person?'

Liu Xuan was very curious, but unfortunately, there was no suitable target for him to experiment on!
