Chapter 877: The Formation Obsessive

He Pingsheng felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

If I throw out this talisman and get a three while the other guy gets a seven, that's fine.

But if I get a three and the other guy gets a seven…

It's a blind box!

However, this "Three-Seven Split" talisman has one advantage over the "Five-Five Split" talisman: it's no longer single-use.

And there's no limit on how many times you can use it.

For example, you can use one on a person, then use another on someone else.

The Five-Five Split is different: for instance, Wang Dun once used a Five-Five Split talisman on Dalun Mingwang; after that, Wang Dun could never use a second one—not just not on Dalun Mingwang, but not on anyone else either.

This news made He Pingsheng feel slightly better.

After putting away the Three-Seven Split, He Pingsheng took out another item.

Four beads.

Purple beads.

These were originally two small worlds—one from Tianhuo Shenhuang Tian Jinpeng, the other from Tianyuan Leidi.

After enhancement, they became four purple beads.

Let's see what this is.

Name: Xiao Ling World.

Rank: Eighth-Premium.

Function: Within the Xiao Ling World, the rules are identical to those of the Spirit Realm; it contains spiritual energy, can accommodate nine Mahayana Emperor-level cultivators, possesses spirit veins and resources identical to the Spirit Realm, and has a direct pathway to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Fuck…

Seeing this, He Pingsheng nearly cursed aloud.

This is too incredible.

In Mahayana Emperor-level crafted worlds, there are three types: Small Thousand World, Medium Thousand World, and Great Thousand World.

These three are collectively called the "Three Thousand Worlds."

Thus, "Three Thousand Worlds" does not mean three thousand separate worlds—it's the collective term for these three types.

Now, He Pingsheng had directly enhanced one into a "Xiao Ling World."

Identical to the Spirit Realm, vast in scale, and with a direct path to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

But this Xiao Ling World has a problem.

If you use it merely as a storage space, it's fine; but if you truly make it a world and connect it to other worlds, it becomes an independent world.

It is not a lower realm of the Spirit Realm—it is a parallel world.

Once connected, it will be permanently severed from the Spirit Realm.

For example, He Pingsheng could place some of his descendants inside, then activate the Xiao Ling World; from then on, he would never see that world or its inhabitants again.

Unless everyone ascends to the Immortal Realm and meets there.

And He Pingsheng had four such worlds.

Forget it. Right now, I don't need these. I'll deal with them later.

He picked up the two "Space-Time Golden Banners."

These were already supreme emperor weapons, so the Treasure Basin did not enhance them—only duplicated them, turning one into two.

What remained were two spheres.

One purple metal sphere.

One silver metal sphere.

He Pingsheng first picked up the purple sphere.

Information appeared.

Name: Xuan Lei Dang Mo Pearl.

Rank: Supreme Emperor Weapon!

Function: After cultivation, it repels all evil, possesses the ability to destroy all malevolent forces and suppresses the Demon Clan; additionally, it grants active spiritual sense defense.

He Pingsheng glanced around; this item had little use.

Specifically suppresses the Demon Clan!

The Demon Clan is rare in the Spirit Realm—nearly extinct.

But the active defense against spiritual sense attacks is useful.

Hmm… I'll give this to my disciple Luo Bingyao later.

The last one: the silver lightning sphere.

Name: Qian Suo Lei Long.

Rank: Supreme Emperor Weapon.

Function: When activated, it imprisons enemies, wielding the power of a thousand thunder dragons to imprison and annihilate the target.

This is an offensive Emperor weapon.

It can first trap the opponent within its cage, then unleash a thousand thunder dragons to obliterate them.

So powerful!

He Pingsheng put it away as well.

Now, nearly all items had been enhanced.

Among them, the Space-Time Golden Banners, the Blood-Colored Turtle Shell, and others had already been cultivated by He Pingsheng and required no further cultivation; but the two Emperor weapons enhanced from the Heaven-and-Earth Cage needed to be cultivated.

He Pingsheng considered whether to enhance Doushen Zhenlei and Jiutian Xuanhuo as well.

Then he thought better of it.

Wait.

Wait a while longer—first, digest these enhanced items.

After all enhancements were complete, He Pingsheng stepped out of the Dao Hall.

"Greetings, Brother He!" Liu Molin bowed respectfully.

He Pingsheng handed him a hundred grains of "Hong Yu Mai," saying: "Eat these, and you can break through your bottleneck!"

"After breaking through, help me set up a formation!"

"Yes!" Liu Molin took the Hong Yu Mai and said: "Breaking through isn't urgent—Brother He, tell me what formation you want first!"

He Pingsheng said: "No rush. Break through first—there's no need to rush this."

Liu Molin's face flushed red, stubbornly replying: "That won't do… Brother He, you don't know—I've loved studying formations and seals since childhood. If you don't tell me what formation to make, how can I focus on breaking through?"

"Please, Brother, enlighten me!"

Can it be like this?

He Pingsheng was impressed.

He reluctantly pulled out the "Xuyu Shiguang Formation" formation disc, saying: "This is an eighth-rank time formation disc, saturated with time energy!"

"But… there's only one disc!"

"It's missing the formation diagram, and also lacks some formation flags and the formation core…"

"To assemble an eighth-rank time formation, you need a master of formations to study it and complete its diagram and remaining materials!"

"This is difficult!"

"Can you handle it?"

He Pingsheng had originally had two formation discs: besides the Xuyu Shiguang Formation, there was also the Bai Ju Tian Guang Formation.

But seeing this man's obsession, He Pingsheng decided not to tell Liu Molin about the other one—for now.

One at a time.

"Good, good, good…" Liu Molin's eyes gleamed with unusual light: "This challenge excites me—I like it. Though I'm only a seventh-rank formation master now, I understand many eighth-rank formations!"

"I'm limited by my cultivation and spiritual sense, so I can't assemble them—but I've studied their principles thoroughly!"

"Brother, rest assured—in at most a hundred years, or as little as a few decades, I'll have results!"

"Can I… cultivate here?"

He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then handed him a Xiao Ling World bead, saying: "You may enter this to cultivate."

"I'm giving you this bead."

"After you cultivate it, you can use it."

"Yes!" Liu Molin took the bead and immediately slipped into He Pingsheng's cottage.
