Chapter 317

Wan Yao Shenjun stood aside, gazing at the ten supreme-grade spirit vein crystals, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Even at his peak, he was after all a Jue Dian Immortal King—what great winds and waves had he not seen?

But someone like Gu Yuan, who could casually produce ten ten-million-year supreme-grade spirit veins, was something he had never seen.

This thing…… is of great use even for an Immortal King's cultivation.

"The Gu Family's foundation…… or rather the Young Master's foundation, just how deep does it go?" Wan Yao Shenjun secretly marveled in his heart, and at the same time felt even more fortunate that after seizing the Huang Hun Immortal King's body, he immediately chose to cling to the Gu Family's thigh.

"Young Master, the formation base has been completely reshaped by Fellow Daoist Wan Yao using the Immortal King's elixir fire, and the coordinate formation patterns have been inscribed. Now, this old man will activate the formation!"

Gu Xuan Ce drew a deep breath and thrust his hands forward violently.

The ten supreme-grade spirit vein crystals turned into ten streams of light, accurately striking the ten core formation eyes beneath the air raid shelter.

Boom—

The entire Heavenly Pivot Source Realm let out a groan unable to bear the weight at this moment.

Not just the Eleventh City, but all forty-nine major cities worldwide, and even those desolate waste mines and deep radiation oceans, violently trembled at the same time.

Originally used by the four great conglomerates to seal the earth veins and drain the world's spiritual energy, the Stellar River Grand Array, under Gu Xuan Ce's radical overhaul, had its operating logic completely reversed.

Those nodes, deeply buried underground and refined by Wan Yao Shenjun into an Immortal Array Platform, no longer transmitted energy to outer space.

Instead, they became colossal sources of gravity, pouring the vast energy of those ten supreme-grade spirit veins into every direction of the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm in an extremely violent manner.

Above the Heavenly Dome, the ever-present gloomy toxic clouds were instantly torn apart.

In their place appeared a magnificent scroll that would be unforgettable forever to all natives of the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm.

Countless beams of brilliant starlight shot up from the ground, weaving at the horizon into a vast formation diagram covering the entire planet. This was Gu Xuan Ce's proud creation—the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Qian Yin Formation!

"What is that?"

"Good heavens, the sky has turned into a formation!"

Twelfth City, Thirteenth City…… in those cities just taken over by the Gu Family army, countless commoners and cultivators who had practiced the Reverse Spirit Technique streamed out of their shelters, gazing up at the unbelievable divine trace in the sky.

They felt an unprecedented pure spiritual energy cleansing the world, yet simultaneously felt a terrifying pulling force as if it wanted to uproot the entire world.

"Don't panic! The Gu Family is handling this—idle people, sit cross-legged in place and close the origins, guard the one!"

Gu Linjiang's steady, mountain-like voice, borne by the power of a True Immortal, turned into rolling heavenly sound, instantly spreading to every corner of the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm.

This voice carried a power to calm hearts, causing those panicked natives to instinctively choose obedience.

Inside the air raid shelter, Gu Xuan Ce formed hand seals, his face flushing red.

"Young Master! The World Boundary Wall has already begun to peel off! But this planet's mass is too great; my Heavenly Stars Great Array can envelop it, yet to perform an interboundary leap we still need an absolutely stable anchor and container to withstand the spatial tearing forces of the process!"

Gu Xuan Ce shouted loudly. This is the most difficult step of the Myriad Worlds Pulling Displacement Method.

"I'll come."

Gu Yuan's expression remained calm as he walked slowly to the center of the air-raid shelter.

He slowly closed his eyes, and his hands made a gentle embracing motion in front of his body.

"Boom!"

In the depths of Gu Yuan's dantian, the perfect great world rumbled into operation.

A World Tree phantom that linked heaven and earth and radiated seven-colored rosy light shot up from behind Gu Yuan.

The World Tree phantom swiftly expanded, piercing the air-raid shelter's dome, penetrating the strata of Eleventh City, and shooting straight into the clouds.

Amidst the astonished gazes of all beings in the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm, a divine tree billions of times sturdier than mountains abruptly appeared at the center of heaven and earth.

Its canopy shrouded the firmament, and every leaf flowed with the aura of chaos and the rhythm of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

"Seal."

Gu Yuan lightly opened his lips and uttered a single word.

The countless roots of the World Tree, like myriad gentle yet irresistible tendrils, followed the patterns of the Heavenly Stars Great Array and dug deep into the ley lines of the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm.

The creative laws of the inner world perfectly merged with the fragmented heavenly dao that Gu Yuan had absorbed into the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm.

"Hum—"

The entire cosmic space emitted an extremely sharp humming.

The cosmic boundary wall surrounding the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm, under the combined action of the Heavenly Stars Great Array and the World Tree, peeled away layer by layer like an orange rind.

Immediately afterward, an unbelievable scene occurred.

In the vast, boundless starry sky, that azure-colored planet actually began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One hundred thousand li, ten thousand li, one thousand li……

This was not a physical compression; rather, Gu Yuan employed the spatial laws of his inner world that surpass all heavens, folding the entire Heavenly Pivot Source Realm into a higher dimension.

For the beings inside the planet, they felt no discomfort; gravity remained unchanged, the air did not thin, and even the ground beneath their feet did not tremble in the slightest.

But to outside observers, the planet was transforming into a radiant stellar core.

In the short span of half an incense stick's burning time.

The vast Heavenly Pivot Source Realm had, under Gu Yuan's law-folding, become a brilliant stellar core only the size of a fist, emanating a hazy blue light.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes and raised his right hand.

The stellar core fell into his palm from below, then turned into a stream of light that entered his dantian.

In Gu Yuan's inner world, that stellar core was properly placed on a sturdy branch of the World Tree.

The World Tree exuded a rich aura of chaotic origin and life, like a nurturing mother, nourishing this scarred planet.

The spiritual energy density inside the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm, under the World Tree's reciprocation, began to surge at a frenzied pace.

"Exhale..."

Gu Yuan gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi, his complexion turning slightly pallid.

Forcibly incorporating an entire world into his body, even with the World Tree as support, was a tremendous trial for his soul and mana.

You know, this sort of thing was originally something only his grandfather could do at the peak of a true immortal.
