Chapter 207: Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array

Ning Chuan fully immersed his mind and spirit into the comprehension of the wondrous art, the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

This supreme scripture, originating from the Bosiming Sect, had at its core the key principle of awakening the boundless potential hidden within the human body.

As well as the exquisite shifting, transformation, accumulation, and counterattack of force.

Cultivated to the Profound realm, it could even mimic any martial arts move under heaven — truly unfathomable.

Ning Chuan studied these profound scriptures carefully, and in his mind, sparks of inspiration kept rising and flashing.

He gradually grasped the essential mystery within — "the shifting of heaven and earth, the transposition of yin and yang, deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces."

"This Heaven and Earth Great Shift, in essence, is a method for the efficient use and transformation of energy."

Ning Chuan mused inwardly.

"A Spirit-Gathering Array is the same. It needs to gather the scattered, disordered, thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth through specific array trajectories, converging it in one place, and transform it into pure energy that a cultivator can absorb."

"Between the two, it seems… there is a wondrous similarity?"

"The deployment of a spirit array requires an array base as the medium to bear and guide energy."

"Right now, I have no precious heavenly materials or earthly treasures that I can use as an array base."

"However…" Ning Chuan's gaze fell upon his own massive flood-dragon body, covered in fine, dense scales.

"My flood-dragon scales, after several moltings and tempering by Lei Jie, have long become incomparably hard, and contain vast demon power and the essence of my bloodline."

"If… if I use the dragon scales I don't need as the array base, arranged according to the specific trajectories of yin-yang circulation and energy convergence found within the Heaven and Earth Great Shift…"

"And supplemented by the arts of the Daodeqi Sect, as well as the essence of the Complete Truth Sect's Star Array…"

【You have deeply comprehended the methods of energy transformation and shifting within the Heaven and Earth Great Shift…】

【You have combined the Five Element Array arts of the Daodeqi Sect, as well as the mysteries of the star-position circulation of the Complete Truth Sect's Northern Dipper Seven Stars Array…】

【You have used your own flood-dragon scales as a guide, simulating the circulation trajectories of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth…】

【You have successfully created an array capable of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to aid cultivation — the Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array!】

Ning Chuan suddenly opened those pale-golden dragon pupils, and an irrepressible joy burst forth in his eyes!

The Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array!

At last… at last he had successfully created it!

With this array, the speed of his future cultivation would surely leap up A major step once again!

The overall strength of Taohuadao would also undergo earth-shaking changes because of this!

Immediately after, his brow furrowed slightly once more.

"Although this Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array has already taken initial shape, it seems… it is still missing the most crucial link."

Ning Chuan carefully sensed the operating method of the array in his mind, and murmured to himself:

"For the effect of the Spirit-Gathering Array to reach its optimum — drawing in the greatest range of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, and efficiently transforming it into pure energy that can be absorbed —"

"It would be best to have a 'spirit item' imbued with rich spirituality, capable of resonating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, to serve as the core of the array, to suppress the array eye and guide the energy."

"Otherwise, relying solely on dragon scales as the array base, although it can still have some effect, it will ultimately… be greatly diminished."

"And it will also be hard to last."

As he pondered.

In Ning Chuan's mind, there suddenly flashed the traces of that strange species he had sensed twice before in the deep sea — faint and elusive, carrying peculiar energy fluctuations.

A glint of amusement flashed within his pale-golden dragon pupils.

"Heh-heh, it seems this seat's array core has already found its destination."

"You escaped by luck the previous two times, but this time, it won't be so easy."

"It just so happens that this seat also wants to see what kind of strange species of heaven and earth dares to lurk on this seat's territory for so long."

Ning Chuan made up his mind and immediately rose.

He gave Huang Rong a word, asking her to keep a good watch over Taohuadao.

As for himself, his figure flashed, and once again he transformed into a streak of black flowing light, plunging into the turbulent sea.

After the flood-dragon elixir had fully transformed and his demon power reached perfection —

Ning Chuan's speed within the seawater was now several times faster than before!

He closed his eyes and spread out fully the vast spiritual power that had already transformed into demon power.

Carefully sensing every subtle fluctuation of energy in the surrounding seawater.

Sure enough!

Under his powerful perception, comparable to that of an earthly immortal —

Those previously faint and elusive traces of the strange species had become much clearer!

And they even seemed to carry a faint… provocative air?

A cold arc curved at the corner of Ning Chuan's mouth.

"Interesting — you actually dare to provoke this seat?"

At a thought from him, the Water-Control divine ability activated in an instant!

The seawater within a range of several li around him all seemed to receive some invisible command, and began to churn violently!

Forming massive whirlpools and undercurrents!

The sea creatures that had been prowling nearby were all scared out of their wits, fleeing in all directions!

Not daring to linger for even a moment!

At this moment, Ning Chuan was the sole sovereign of this stretch of sea!

He followed those increasingly clear traces of the strange species, tracking them all the way forward.

His speed was swift as lightning, leaving streak after streak of afterimages in the deep sea.

One hour later.

Brother Ning Chuan arrived at a sea region that was both deeper and more bizarre.

The seawater here took on a heart-palpitating ink-black color, light unable to penetrate it.

And ahead of him appeared a terrifying sea trench, incomparably vast and bottomless!

That sea trench was like the earth opening its ferocious maw, emanating a chilling and deathly still aura that made one's blood run cold.

As if it could devour every living being!

"Oh? Hiding here, are you?" Brother Ning Chuan's pale-golden dragon pupils flickered with dangerous light.

"This is quite the fine hiding place."

"However, before this Seat, every concealment shall be in vain!"

"Let's see exactly what you are, you wretched thing that hides its head and shows its tail!"

Brother Ning Chuan let out a low roar, and the Heavenly Flood Dragon Hundred Refinements Body activated in an instant!
