Chapter 1585: Five Great Twelve-Grade Lotus Platforms

This was only a small portion of the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, yet it already reached the pinnacle of a Supreme Langhuan Treasure; if it were complete, it would definitely surpass the level of a Langhuan Supreme Treasure, and likely by more than one tier.

As for which world the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant was a product of, and what level it could reach in its prime, that was not something Li Zhangsheng could know.

Li Zhangsheng did not dwell on it; there was no help for it, as the information was too scarce, almost non-existent.

Nowadays, the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant's boost to Li Zhangsheng's comprehension had reached an extremely exaggerated level, and his speed of grasping the Three Thousand Great Daos had once again surged by a large margin; Li Zhangsheng expressed great satisfaction.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, with the assistance of the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, if he used it to comprehend the Great Five Elements Technique which was nearing Great Accomplishment, he would likely be able to officially reach the Great Accomplishment stage in about ten years, and this was without even utilizing the Time Delay Forbidden Array.

If he were to utilize the Time Delay Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng could guarantee that he could make the Great Five Elements Technique reach Great Accomplishment within a year, and in all likelihood, it would only take half a year.

At this moment, looking at the Prayer Basin in front of him, Li Zhangsheng began to close his eyes and pray with focus.

His consciousness surged into the Prayer Basin, subsequently outlining the appearance of a High-grade Star Core.

Besides this, data such as the characteristics and size of the High-grade Star Core were also input into it.

Once Li Zhangsheng withdrew his consciousness, with the Prayer Basin as the core, a special ripple spread rapidly and vanished in the blink of an eye.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, including the underground, the seabed, the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and even the attached semi-planes, the entire Fairy World had been scanned inside and out by this invisible ripple.

This ripple was something only a very small number of Stronger would be able to perceive.

Among them, deep underground in a certain semi-plane, there was buried a Star Core emitting rich starlight; its appearance, size, and characteristics were almost identical to the High-grade Star Core Li Zhangsheng had outlined.

The next moment, the Prayer Basin's light suddenly intensified, and under Li Zhangsheng's expectant gaze, the High-grade Star Core suddenly appeared inside the Prayer Basin.

Crack! Crack! Clatter—

The Prayer Basin's brilliance vanished and it rapidly became dim; a large number of cracks appeared on it, and finally, it collapsed with a boom, turning into a pile of fragments.

Li Zhangsheng caught the High-grade Star Core in one motion, an undisguised smile appearing on his face.

Now that he had two High-grade Star Cores, he was about to possess a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform with five elements, and he was full of anticipation for their fusion.

No matter how one looked at it, the fused lotus platform would almost certainly be able to surpass the level of a Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

As for whether it would succeed, that depended on luck.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng took out the Eleven-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Eleven-grade Merit Golden Lotus, as well as the upgrade materials.

Under Li Zhangsheng's skillful techniques, after a round of processing, the two types of lotus platforms began to enter the upgrade stage.

Not long after, the volume of the Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Merit Golden Lotus began to gradually expand, and more and more lotus leaves were born, beginning to advance from Eleven-grade to Twelve-grade.

Not long after, accompanied by the celebratory sounds from Heaven and Earth, the Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus and Karma Fire Red Lotus were successfully transformed.

Li Zhangsheng then took out the Twelve-grade Kui Water Black Lotus, the Creation Green Lotus, and the Wutu Yellow Lotus; the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms of different colors shone in reflection of one another, emitting a dazzling aura.

Li Zhangsheng did not fuse them immediately, because there were two different fusion schemes, and both had quite prominent advantages and disadvantages.

The first one: the advantage was fast fusion, the disadvantage was a relatively low success rate.

The second one: the advantage was a relatively high success rate, the disadvantage was slow fusion.

These two schemes could be said to have completely opposite advantages and disadvantages.

If he followed the first scheme, he believed it would take less than a month to complete, but Li Zhangsheng's confidence was less than fifty percent.

If he chose the second scheme, the success rate would be about sixty to seventy percent, but it would easily take several years.

It must be said here that the second scheme had the potential to completely release the lotus platforms' potential.

Between the two choices, Li Zhangsheng chose the second one.

Now that the Heaven Earth and Human Three Realms were about to be unified, and coupled with the fact that there were no more opponents in the Fairy World, he did not mind waiting a few more years.

No, if he had the assistance of the Candle Dragon, the time consumed would definitely be greatly reduced.

Due to the volume of the five lotus platforms, the area of the Time Delay Forbidden Array would need to be expanded quite a bit, which would inevitably lead to the Candle Dragon needing to output more time energy; if the effect of the Time Delay Forbidden Array were not lowered, the Candle Dragon simply could not support it for too long.

Therefore, the effect of the Time Delay Forbidden Array would definitely have to drop quite a bit, mainly depending on the area.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng needed to formulate a more detailed fusion scheme to reduce the area required for fusing the lotus platforms as much as possible, which required a certain amount of time.

Even utilizing the Time Delay Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng still spent nearly a hundred days in the Time Delay Forbidden Array before finally determining the specific scheme.

After determining the scheme, Li Zhangsheng began to operate.

Li Zhangsheng's hands formed seals, turning into a blur of phantoms; countless runes landed on the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms, causing their volume to constantly shrink, yet their power remained stable at their prime.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng stopped his movements; the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms finally turned to the size of a washbasin.

Arranged according to the principle of mutual generation—Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water generates Wood—the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms began to rotate slowly.

The next moment, the Creation Green Lotus released countless green rays of light to submerge the Karma Fire Red Lotus, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus released countless red rays of light to submerge the Kui Water Black Lotus...

In the blink of an eye, the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms were blinking with light of different colors.

Under the Five Elements Mutual Generation, five-element energy was quickly born, gradually submerging all five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms.

In this process, the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms rotated more and more swiftly, releasing more five-element energy.

After starting the Special Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng just watched quietly; he did not need to continue operating, he only needed to wait with a calm heart.

After more than half an hour had passed, under the effect of the Forbidden Array, a drop of five-colored liquid slowly appeared in the void between the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms.

If one observed carefully, one would find that the aura of the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms had dropped by an imperceptible tiny bit.

The five-colored liquid was gathered from the origins of the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms, and in the process of transformation, they merged into one; this would inevitably consume a massive amount of energy and time.

Only when the five Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms had all turned into five-colored liquid would the long first stage come to an end.

This stage would inevitably consume a massive amount of time; the benefit was that it did not require much operation from Li Zhangsheng, as long as the Forbidden Array's energy did not run out, it would continue.

Although the energy consumed by the Forbidden Array was huge, the burden on the Secret Realm was not very large, and it could be easily maintained.

After confirming that no accidents would occur, Li Zhangsheng continued to stay in the Time Delay Forbidden Array, the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant appearing above his head, and he closed his eyes to continue comprehending the Great Five Elements Technique.
