Chapter 126

The blue dragon did not know that Luo Fu was not creating dragon bloodline; he merely condensed the power of the dragon race into the Myriad Spirits Suppressing the Realm array, turning those forces into the primordial essence of life, thereby transforming them into his own power.

Of course, to some extent, Luo Fu did indeed create a virtual dragon race.

The Myriad Spirits Suppressing the Realm array is just that brutal and terrifying.

After all, in the Primordial World, Saint Tongtian's research into arrays was second to none—if anyone claimed first place, no one could argue.

Even the Wu and Yao clans possessed the Two Methods—the Twelve Great Heavenly Spirit & Wrath Array and the Zhou Tian Star Array—that could unleash Saint-level power.

But those arrays existed only because the Wu and Yao clans relied on their own lineages and related supreme treasures.

If asked to recreate similar arrays, neither the Twelve Ancestral Wu, nor Di Jun, nor Dong Huang Taiyi could accomplish it.

But this point—

Saint Tongtian was different; array research was his dedicated field.

It was like Laozi excelling in pill refinement, and Master Yuanshi excelling in artifact forging.

Saint Tongtian excelled in the Way of Arrays.

Studying and utilizing the Way of Arrays demanded different requirements for strength than other Dao domains.

Just as Luo Fu learned the Way of Heaven and Earth and the Sword Dao from Saint Tongtian, those still required a certain level of strength.

If your strength was insufficient, your comprehension of those Daos could only be limited to your current strength realm.

But the Way of Arrays, compared to other Dao domains, imposed far less stringent requirements on strength.

It was like the Wu clan's Twelve Great Heavenly Spirit & Wrath Array and the Yao clan's Zhou Tian Star Array.

Normally, a Quasi-Saint unleashing Saint-level power was an unimaginable thing.

Even if the Saint power could only be sustained briefly, it was still astonishing.

For the gap between Quasi-Saint and Saint was as vast as heaven and earth, nearly impossible to cross.

Later generations of the Primordial World had a common saying that proved this point.

Below the Saint layer, all are ants.

Note that Quasi-Saint realm was never called "ants" by the Great Luo Jinxian.

This was because with sufficient trump cards, a Great Luo Jinxian might even challenge or overthrow a Quasi-Saint.

Just as the Three Pure Ones, when they were still at the Great Luo Jinxian layer.

Back then, their strength was merely Great Luo Jinxian, not yet Quasi-Saint, yet through their unique combined technique—the Three Pure Ones merging into one body—

Even facing Quasi-Saints, the Three Pure Ones were not afraid.

Perhaps this was precisely why the Three Pure Ones could stand firm during the Era of Kalpa Tribulation of Long Feng and Beginning Qilin.

Other beings in that era lacked such confidence.

But Saint-level power—even the Three Pure Ones had to admit that even united in their Quasi-Saint stage, they could not hope to kill a Saint.

Even barely resisting was extremely difficult.

Ants, after all, are ants.

This alone illustrates the uniqueness and power of the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Twelve Great Heavenly Spirit & Wrath Array.

Generally, Quasi-Saints could not comprehend such arrays, and the ancestral Wu, Di Jun, and others were not particularly gifted in this area.

They derived these methods mostly from lineage inheritance and related supreme treasures.

Thus, the Way of Arrays required far less strength.

During the Investiture of the Gods Era—

The Three Xiao's Nine Curved Yellow River Array stripped the Three Flowers atop the Twelve Golden Immortals' heads.

That meant three people confronting twelve Golden Immortals, clearly demonstrating the immense power of arrays.

In the end, the Jie Sect retreated, and Saint Tongtian even sought to reverse the tide with the Wan Xianzhen.

Remember, this came after the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation had been shattered by four Saints.

This alone showed Saint Tongtian's confidence in his creation of the Wan Xianzhen.

Though Saints were hard to kill, Saint Tongtian at the time may have entertained the idea of subduing them.

But the betrayal of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian caused his plan to be abandoned midway, failing to succeed.

Now, as Saint Tongtian's direct disciple, Luo Fu naturally learned Saint Tongtian's insights into the Way of Arrays.

Though Saint Tongtian's current understanding of the Way of Arrays may not be as strong as during the Investiture of the Gods Era, there is no doubt that today's Saint Tongtian remains the foremost master of the Way of Arrays.

This is indisputable.

Likewise, the Way of Arrays demands high talent; the greater one's talent, the deeper one's comprehension and the greater one's capacity to create arrays.

Merely learning ancestral arrays offers little help to one's growth in the Way of Arrays.

Ultimately, under Saint Tongtian's gaze, the Myriad Spirits Suppressing the Realm array slowly took shape.

Even Saint Tongtian had to admit the terrifying nature of this array.

Moreover, this array possessed a certain adaptability—only those whose talent reached a certain level could cultivate it.

Especially as the number of Myriad Spirits increased, the talent requirement grew ever greater.

In short, given Luo Fu more time—

An array rivaling, even surpassing, the Twelve Great Heavenly Spirit & Wrath Array and the Zhou Tian Star Array would emerge.

After all, one is merely a user, while Luo Fu had thoroughly studied his own array.

And as time passed, Luo Fu would continuously refine this array, making it stronger while becoming ever more aligned with himself.

Thus—

Under the blue dragon's gaze, the dragon aura emanating from Luo Fu grew increasingly thick and profound.

One after another, dragon lineage runes flashed across Luo Fu's body.

What shocked the blue dragon was the speed of this lineage cultivation system—this disciple of the Saint was advancing far too quickly.

Or in some ways, Luo Fu's understanding of the Longzuye Society's legacy was too rapid.

Because only with proper understanding could one cultivate.

And Luo Fu's growth within the Longzuye system was visibly apparent.

This made the Azure Dragon wonder: were all Sage disciples' talents this astonishing?

In the era of the Primordial World's calamity between Long Feng and Beginning Qilin, the Azure Dragon had never seen such a prodigious Longzuye.

"If only this person were a Longzuye," the Azure Dragon gazed at Luo Fu and couldn't help sighing.

The Azure Dragon knew well that in this age, the Longzuye Society had declined.

But what could he do?

His own body, once grievously wounded and now merely a remnant, meant nothing on the Primordial World.

The Longzuye Society today was no longer the Longzuye Society of old.

The Wu and Yao clans were the true protagonists of the Primordial World.

The Longzuye Society could only barely cling to existence in the Four Seas.

This was why the Wu and Yao clans had no intention of targeting or confronting the Longzuye Society.

Otherwise, whether the Longzuye Society could even survive in the Primordial World was highly questionable.

The Feng clan and Beginning Qilin, once equals of the Longzuye Society, had left even fewer traces across the Primordial World.

One could only say that even the weakened Longzuye Society was far better off than the Feng clan or Beginning Qilin.

In the Azure Dragon's current understanding, with Luo Fu's talent, becoming a Semi-Sage was highly probable.

If the other were a Longzuye, it would mean the Longzuye Society gained another Semi-Sage.

Though it could not restore the Longzuye Society as the world's protagonists, it would at least allow the Longzuye to live better in this world.

But Luo Fu was not a Longzuye—he was a human.

Even if he could now cultivate the Longzuye legacy, his innate Longzuye primordial essence could not be changed.

"Still…"

The Azure Dragon drew a deep breath, his massive pupils fixed on Luo Fu, a flicker of resolve suddenly passing through his gaze.

"I originally sought a being who could aid the Longzuye Society at a critical moment—could not Luo Fu be exactly such a one?" the Azure Dragon murmured to himself.

"More importantly, although Luo Fu is not a Longzuye, by means of a special method he has inherited the Longzuye's Great Dao legacy—thus, some karmic bond already exists between him and the Longzuye Society."

"The stronger he becomes, the better it will be for the Longzuye Society."

Waiting for another Primordial World being with such talent, willing to accept the Longzuye Society.

The Azure Dragon did not know how long he would have to wait.

For a Semi-Sage like himself, the main reason he waited here was for the Longzuye Society.

Luo Fu's talent was unquestionably that of a prodigy among prodigies—at least, the Azure Dragon had never seen such a one in the past.
