Chapter 159: Advancing to Array Formation, Creating the Array Formation

"Boom..."

Mengchen shifted his hand seals, his Divine Power whistling; the crimson-gold runes of the Immortal Dao Scripture surged, erupting with brilliant crimson-gold divine radiance that bloomed dazzlingly with him at the center.

The crimson-gold runes danced amidst the divine radiance, appearing very vivid, much like crimson-gold butterflies fluttering about.

"Sss..."

Mengchen changed his hand seals again, and his eleven Cave Heavens bloomed with extreme, resplendent divine brilliance. As if in response to a summons, the crimson-gold runes surged, attaching themselves to the outer walls of the Cave Heavens, arranging themselves in an orderly fashion to form peculiar textures. As these textures became increasingly clear, they began to be branded and inscribed bit by bit.

The runes were inscribed into shape little by little. As time passed, clear runes condensed into sacred textures upon each Cave Heaven, glowing with crimson-gold divine light.

Finally, the outer walls of all eleven of his Cave Heavens were covered in these sacred, clear textures, fully inscribed and outlined. These textures were composed of the entire text of the Immortal Dao Scripture, and a solemn aura of incomparable holiness permeated the air.

At this moment, in the eyes of the little Zhenhuang, she watched with rapt attention, her heart stirred; those runes, filled with a sacred aura, combined into a complete, supreme Ancient Scripture, containing the Great Dao.

In a certain instant, a thought flashed through her mind: the person her mother favored was truly extraordinary.

Him! My future master! He actually possesses such a sacred Ancient Scripture! Yuechan was no different; while shocked in her heart, she was even more unable to fathom how such a shameless person could have such peerless talent and heaven-defying luck. This defies all reason! The Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi, looking at those familiar runes, both understood that this was the supreme Immortal Dao Scripture—the Immortal Dao Scripture! They could also see that Mengchen was currently setting out toward the extreme realm of the Inscription Realm.

Xiyao looked on, her eyes burning with intense worship.

Now, Mengchen had finished inscribing; in an instant, all the runes flashed together. He felt deeply that he had taken another step forward in the Great Perfection of the Inscription Realm.

Afterward, the Immortal Dao Scripture runes rushed into the eleventh Cave Heaven first, enveloping the golden miniature figure sitting cross-legged and chanting within.

For a time, the golden miniature figure flickered all over, brushed by streaks of crimson-gold divine light, as if being carved by the craftsmanship of Heaven.

In a certain instant, as the Immortal Dao Scripture textures finished being inscribed upon the golden miniature figure and radiated crimson-gold divine light, it was as if some shackle binding this True Self of the primordial spirit had been severed, elevating it to a higher level.

"Boom!"

"Boom... boom boom..."

Afterward, accompanied by a series of booming sounds from within the Cave Heavens, various invisible shackles were severed; he had succeeded.

The Spirit Body formed by the primordial spirit, the four Supreme Technique Spirit Bodies, as well as the Kunpeng Spirit Body, the Jiuyou Ao Spirit Body, and the Zhenhuang Spirit Body, were all successfully inscribed.

"Boom..."

In an instant, the eight Spirit Bodies simultaneously radiated divine light within the Cave Heavens, causing a dull, thunderous sound. They seemed to each display their divine might and exert force together, causing Mengchen's aura to increase by a large margin in an instant.

He had successfully taken that step and reached the extreme of the Inscription Realm! Now he felt stronger than ever before; he believed that even when facing a terrifying Venerable, he now had the confidence to fight one. Even if he could not win, he would be able to escape unscathed.

Now, with the breakthrough to the extreme, the Divine Power within his body no longer needed to be painstakingly suppressed; it was just enough to satisfy his current needs.

This improvement in realm is like the enlargement of a container; as the realm rises, the required Divine Power must inevitably increase.

But this does not mean that if the Divine Power is no longer full and expanding, one has lost the opportunity to advance.

He had now entered the extreme of the Inscription Realm and was completely perfected; he could enter the Array Formation Realm whenever he wished.

The Array Formation Realm is a process of creating or inscribing arrays within the body; the arrays can be manifested at will according to the cultivator's intent to use against enemies.

Creating an array is undoubtedly the path of a pioneer explorer, possessing infinite possibilities and boundless potential.

While inscribing arrays left by sages may be a path for the strong, it is destined to have certain growth limitations.

What Mengchen sought was only transcendence. Since it was transcendence, he naturally could not copy the sages; therefore, he could only use them as a reference to create a different, unique Array Formation Realm that belonged solely to himself.

He began. His whole body glowed and shone brilliantly, beginning to transcend the Inscription Realm, for there was no need to delay any longer; he prepared to ascend to the next major realm.

Once he officially stepped into the Array Formation Realm, he could focus on comprehending arrays and step out into an array formation that belonged solely to him. This process was almost a matter of course. With a loud "Boom...", he stepped into the Array Formation Realm, into a brand-new world! From this point on, he became a true Array Formation cultivator; to be precise, he truly became a powerhouse, an Array Formation Realm powerhouse.

For only those who step into this realm can be called true powerhouses.

A fourteen-year-old Array Formation Realm powerhouse—if this were to spread, it would surely shock the world.

Even if not the only one in history, it was absolutely rare in the world; to stand at this height at this age, he could look down upon his peers.

At this moment, Yuechan and the Tianhu Shaonü, who were slightly older than Mengchen, were extremely shocked. Mengchen's sudden surge in aura made them understand that Mengchen had stepped onto the same height as them.

When he was still in the Inscription Realm, he could fight them until they were powerless; now that he had stepped into the Array Formation Realm, he would likely not be an enemy they could withstand for even a single exchange in the future.

This was the unanimous thought that welled up in their hearts! Heizi and Xiyao were also shocked, but more so with worship and joy. They felt joy and worship for Mengchen becoming stronger, and the thought of striving to cultivate in hopes of catching up to his footsteps also sprouted in their hearts.

However, following Mengchen's breakthrough, they did not see him wake up; he was still sitting cross-legged high in the air, sensing something.

Mengchen was extremely joyful in his heart; after entering the Array Formation Realm, he felt the terrifying surge in his combat power.

If he previously had the confidence to fight a Venerable without easily dying, then at this moment, he had absolute confidence that he could perhaps battle some ordinary Venerables.

But joy is joy; Mengchen knew that he should not stop here, and could perhaps take the opportunity to gain some insights and explore the path of creation.

Because he had inscribed the Immortal Dao Scripture in the Inscription Realm, the Immortal Dao Scripture was his foundation; he needed to create his own array formation based on this foundation.

He sank his mind into his body to introspect; the Immortal Dao Scripture runes appeared everywhere within his body, shining there and displaying their extraordinariness.

At this time, beside his consciousness within his body, the Vajra Pestle suddenly appeared. It knew what Mengchen was thinking, so it wanted to provide some help.

"You have great spirit and the potential of a supreme powerhouse. Here! These are some array formation imprints from ancient mighty figures; they might be of some help to you."

The imprints emerged from the Vajra Pestle and were received by Mengchen within his body.

Without a doubt, these things were heaven-defying. Mengchen was immersed in them, and his whole person was almost isolated from the outside world.

"These imprints really came at the right time."

A month later, Mengchen spoke to himself; he had made astonishing gains, which had allowed him to form a preliminary concept! These imprints were extremely profound and difficult to fully comprehend in this realm, but they served as a reference, and the parts he could understand brought him quite a bit of inspiration.

"So that's how it is."

Every day he had gains, and the Divine Radiance within his body would evolve whenever he made a breakthrough.

Now he finally had some realization; the Divine Radiance within his body surged and, fusing with the Immortal Dao Scripture, manifested a precious Bell. The precious Bell was covered with Immortal Dao Scripture runes, radiating crimson-gold light in all directions, and a most sacred aura permeated the air.

Afterward, the Divine Radiance manifested the Supreme Bone techniques: Eight-Part Heavenly Dragon, Red Lotus Dharma Finger, Traces of the Heavenly Dao, and it manifested the True Self.

Next, it manifested the Ten Fiends' true techniques: it manifested the Kunpeng, the Jiuyou Ao, and the Zhenhuang.

Finally, the seven techniques each transformed into sacred image imprints, branded upon the precious Bell, making the precious Bell appear even more sacred and terrifying.

"Clang..."

The precious Bell rang, diffusing a sacred sound, grand and extraordinary, as if shaking through the past and present, and as if possessing a purifying power. As the divine sound spread, it made the Tianhu Shaonü and the others feel ethereal in their state of mind for an instant, with a sense of ascension.

And as the divine sound spread, the technique imprints on the precious Bell revived, instantly manifesting their original forms, displaying their respective killing momentum, and striking out rapidly as the divine sound traveled.

This was the array formation Mengchen had comprehended; he named it: Purifying Sound Killing Array.
