Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 832 Guardian Array
Chen Wang transmitted his thoughts to the Heavenly Venerable, saying, "I have something to discuss with you, fellow Daoist. Do you have time now?"

The Celestial Venerable said, "I am currently taking action to punish the malpractices at Yunshan Academy, but since you have come to me, I can always spare some time."

Chen Wang: "………………"

The Celestial Venerable's ability to show off is truly impressive.

At this moment, the Celestial Venerable looked at Chen Mu, who was stunned by the beating, and calmly said, "We are all fellow disciples. You must not seek revenge for personal reasons in the future. Otherwise, you will fall into a blood feud, which will not only damage the friendship between fellow disciples, but also lose the demeanor of a cultivator."

With a single move, he knocked down Chen Mu, who had the highest cultivation level, and Chen Mu was somewhat convinced of his defeat.

The other two exchanged a glance, and dared not say another word.

Chen Mu said weakly, "Junior Brother Xue is right. I have learned a lot today."

Xue Jiangbai waved his hand, silencing the clamor of the crowd behind him, and said calmly, "Senior Brother Chen already knows his mistake, so you must not offend him. You should support each other."

Everyone felt that Boss Xue's words were truly skillful and pleasant to listen to, and they repeatedly agreed.

Xue Jiangbai led his underlings away in a roar. Chen Mu felt somewhat ashamed because of Xue Jiangbai's upright character, and sighed inwardly.

At this moment, a cultivator next to him said, "Senior Brother Chen, should we ask someone to help us get revenge?"

Chen Mu glared at him, saying with exasperation, "Junior Brother Xue joined the sect later than us, yet he has such a magnanimous heart. What kind of words are you saying? Don't you feel ashamed?"

The cultivator blushed after being told this, and said with an embarrassed smile, "I was just upset because my senior brother was beaten."

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "It's nothing to spar with fellow disciples. Don't mention this again in the future, it's ruining the atmosphere of my Yunshan Academy."

Chen Mu then led the two of them away.

Chen Wang observed this little incident and was somewhat surprised by the Celestial Venerable's reaction.

Was he doing this out of genuine feeling or just for show?

After calming down his underlings, Xue Jiangbai vanished into the void and arrived in front of Chen Wang.

Chen Wang said, "Your Majesty is in high spirits."

The Celestial Venerable shook his head: "This title should not be mentioned anymore. My name is Xue Jiangbai. You can just call me Fellow Daoist Xue."

His serious expression made Chen Wang's lips twitch again.

Chen Wang took a deep breath and said, "I called you here because there's something I want to discuss."

Xue Jiangbai nodded slightly and said, "Please speak."

Chen Wang said, "I want to unite the power of the major sects to set up a large formation that covers the entire Dao Ning World, so that we can quickly provide support to those coming from the Great Yan Heaven. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xue has any ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiangbai frowned and said, "Setting up such a large formation would consume a terrifying amount of resources, and it would require a powerful magic weapon as the core of the formation. This is a bit difficult to handle."

Chen Wang said, "Can't Fellow Daoist Xue handle this either?"

Xue Jiangbai was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing I can't do. As long as you're willing to spend the money, I can build this grand formation for you."

Chen Wang said, "There's no need for Fellow Daoist Xue to worry about resources. Now that I am the leader of the Dao Alliance, I can allocate resources from the entire Dao Ning World. Just ask me. I just don't know how long it will take to construct this great formation."

Xue Jiangbai shook his head and said, "I can't give you an exact time right now. It could be as short as a few months or as long as a few years, depending on your resource supply."

Chen Wang said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to Fellow Daoist Xue."

Xue Jiangbai realized what was happening and quickly said, "No, no, no, I haven't really agreed yet. I just said I can do it. Creating such a large formation is a tough job."

Chen Wang said, "Isn't it Fellow Daoist Xue's wish to fight against the Great Flame Heaven? Why are you making excuses about this?"

Xue Jiangbai's lips twitched, and he said, "No wonder you've made it so fast. Your shamelessness is no less than mine when I was young."

Chen Wang glanced at Xue Jiangbai's current appearance as a handsome young man, shook his head and smiled, then said, "I hope Fellow Daoist Xue will take care of this matter."

Xue Jiangbai suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid I might tamper with things?"

Chen Wang said, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. If you want to be chased by the Great Yan Heaven like a stray dog, feel free to do something drastic and abandon me, your ally."

Xue Jiangbai laughed and scolded, "You see things so clearly, and you're quite bold. Fine, since you dare to use me, I'll get this done for you."

Next, Chen Wang issued the mission through the Dao Alliance Order, which surprised everyone.

"Who is Xue Jiangbai? Where did such a formation master come from? Dean Chen trusts him so much that he wants to build an unparalleled formation."

The old Taoist priest of the Wuwei sect tried to deduce the secrets of heaven and Xue Jiangbai, but Xue Jiangbai seemed to not exist in the present, nor in the past, and his future could not be seen. It was as if this person appeared out of thin air.

The old Taoist priest was somewhat surprised and stopped investigating the matter, muttering to himself, "This Xue Jiangbai is no ordinary person."

Xue Jiangbai sensed that someone was trying to figure out his origins, and smiled faintly: "I am beyond the Five Elements, how could you possibly calculate me? But since you've calculated me, I'll naturally calculate you too."

At this moment, the old Taoist priest of the Wuwei sect suddenly realized that someone was deducing his secrets. He hurriedly used his supernatural powers to cover up the secrets of heaven on his body, but he was directly and inexplicably crushed by the other party's supernatural powers.

The two divine calculations clashed in the void, and the old Taoist's forehead was covered in sweat, which soon soaked through his Taoist robe.

In just the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, all the information about the old Taoist priest was calculated, including his past as a young Taoist who had spied on his senior sister taking a bath.

The old Taoist priest's eyes were lifeless, and his face was pale.

"Oh no, oh no, this Xue Jiangbai is a freak!"

He was stripped bare, even his underwear was exposed, and some of the secrets of the Wuwei Daoist sect were also revealed.

The old Taoist priest felt he had become a sinner of the Wuwei Taoist sect and was filled with regret. He kept pounding the ground and lamenting, "Why did I have to provoke that freak? He was someone even Dean Chen valued!"

After handing the matter over to Xue Jiangbai, Chen Wang continued to study the magic weapon in his hand.

Xue Jiangbai has such great insight, so why not take advantage of it?

Chen Wang believed that the two of them currently shared common interests and common enemies, and would not be foolish enough to disrupt his plans or secretly sabotage him.

Chen Wang entrusted the entire matter to Xue Jiangbai for arrangements.

Xue Jiangbai was also taking advantage of Chen Wang's authority, using the Dao Alliance leader's order to allocate resources and assign tasks.

The Ancient Immortal Holy Land collects fewer resources, while the Yin-Yang Dao and Wuwei Dao sects collect extremely large amounts.

The leaders of the two major forces were somewhat helpless. After all, they had wavered before, and they were already grateful that they hadn't been wiped out by Chen Wang like the Great Chu and Great Xia. Now that they were contributing to the construction of the human world, how could they dare to refuse? So they all supplied resources according to their quotas.

Xue Jiangbai was setting up large formations everywhere. He was skilled in the art of void, and could travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant when traversing the Dao Ning World.

Only a master at the Tribulation Transcending stage like him could do this. If it were anyone else, they would have spent all their time on the road just running one lap.

Xue Jiangbai was focused on setting up the grand formation, while Chen Wang was constantly refining the magical treasure in his hand.

The dragon spear in his hand was exceptionally powerful, especially the ancient dragon soul it contained. Chen Wang had been trying to communicate with it deeply, but unfortunately, the ancient dragon soul seemed uninterested in him.
After all, she wasn't Fu Qu, but a beautiful dragon girl.

Chen Wang was having some difficulty communicating with him, which made him feel somewhat helpless.

"I seem to have an easier time dealing with women. I wish this dragon soul were female."

He didn't communicate much with the Dragon Soul and couldn't fully grasp it.

Chen Wang simulated the cultivation method of the Mirror God's magic weapon and found that this path was extremely difficult. It was created from scratch, and it was extremely difficult to replicate, almost impossible.

However, Chen Wang possessed the power of faith from many worlds, which greatly helped him deduce the Dao.

Furthermore, since the Mirror God had already grasped some of the principles of this path, Chen Wang followed suit, imprinting the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow with the mark of the Great Dao of Life and Death, and expending countless treasures to refine it, thus increasing the power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

Chen Wang handed over the other magical treasures in his hand to the people around him.

For him, the key to magical treasures is quality, not quantity. With the Dragon Spear and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, the two working together are enough.

The power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow has greatly increased, surpassing other magical treasures after Chen Wang imprinted it with the Great Dao.

Chen Wang thought to himself, "I've heard that the Yin-Yang Dao Book contains the power of creation and enlightenment. If I could obtain it, the power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow would be enhanced once again."

After making up his mind, Chen Wang headed to the Yin-Yang Path.

When Xue Qingliu, the sect leader of Yin Yang Dao, saw Chen Wang arrive, he dared not activate the great formation this time.

However, he felt uneasy. Facing such a fierce figure, he was completely unable to fight him without activating the great formation. What if the figure had some malicious intentions...

Chen Wang said, "Sect Leader Xue, do you have some kind of problem with me? Why did you look so unhappy when you saw me?"

Xue Qingliu thought to himself, "You're taking twice as much of the Yin-Yang Dao's share as the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, and you're asking me what's wrong!"

However, he still said on the surface, "Not at all, I am deeply honored by Dean Chen's visit."

Chen Wang said, "Last time you activated the great formation to keep me out, but I don't blame you. At that time, our positions were not aligned. But now that our positions are aligned, I want to borrow something from you. I wonder if you can agree?"

"..." Xue Qingliu forced a smile and asked, "What is it? It's not the Yin-Yang Dao Book, is it? This thing is related to the sect's fortune. There are ancestral rules that this thing suppresses the fortune. Once it is borrowed, the fortune of my Yin-Yang Dao will be greatly reduced, and I'm afraid it will not be able to survive in the next great battle. I hope Dean Chen will understand."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "You've already said so much as I opened my mouth. Are you afraid I won't pay it back?"

Xue Qingliu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. With Dean Chen's current abilities, I can't force him to take the Yin-Yang Dao Book. But I hope that Dean Chen will consider that I am now a member of the Dao Alliance and follow him, and show some consideration for the difficulty of passing down the Yin-Yang Dao."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "In that case, I'll borrow it from the Yin-Yang Path. Is that alright? Don't worry, I won't take your treasure."

Xue Qingliu asked in surprise, "Really?"

Chen Wang said, "What kind of person do you take me for? To be honest, if I had attacked Yin Yang Dao that day, how long do you think you could have lasted? Since I let you go that day, I won't go back on my word today."

Xue Qingliu thought to himself, "Dean Chen's reputation isn't very good; he doesn't seem like a man of his word."

However, Chen Wang's power is now so immense that he controls the entire world, and his cultivation is the strongest in the Dao Ning world. There is nothing he can do but hope that Chen Wang will keep his promise.

He took out the Yin-Yang Daoist book, and Chen Wang exclaimed in surprise, "This book seems to connect all kinds of causes and effects, and its power is boundless and extremely mysterious."

Chen Wang exclaimed, "This is indeed a treasure!"

A greedy glint appeared in his eyes, and he reached out to grab it.

Xue Qingliu coughed and said, "Dean Chen, don't forget our conversation earlier."

Chen Wang immediately composed himself. Logically speaking, he wouldn't go back on his word so quickly.

Chen Wang's heart stirred slightly: "It is the Yin-Yang Daoist book that has influenced me."

Chen Wangqing cleared his throat and said, "It really is a good treasure. It can even affect my mind. Sect Leader Xue, please don't think I am a person who doesn't keep his word."

Xue Qingliu thought to himself, "It's good that you're not. I hope you still have some shame."

Xue Qingliu then stopped holding back and began explaining the uses of the Yin-Yang Daoist texts to Chen Wang.

While the Yin-Yang Daoist book can indeed enhance magical artifacts under certain circumstances, this is not its primary function.

The Daoist scriptures on Yin and Yang are infinitely mysterious, and he was unaware of some of their uses.

More importantly, it was left behind by that celestial ancestor to suppress the sect's fortune and protect the sect.

Chen Wang, using the Yin-Yang Daoist book to enlighten the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow within the Yin-Yang Daoist realm, held his breath in tension.

He had already learned from Xue Qingliu that there was a certain chance of a magic weapon being enlightened, which required the magic weapon itself to contain a certain spirituality, as well as the right time, place, and people.

Xue Qingliu said a lot, but Chen Wang summarized it simply, in just three words: It depends on luck.

He took out the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and went forward to instruct him on how to use it.

At this moment, the two Tai Chi fish, one black and one white, on the Yin-Yang Daoist book suddenly started to move, enveloping the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow within them, emitting a clear sound and shining brightly.

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, "This magic weapon has been successfully enlightened?"

There was an undisguised joy in his eyes. Once enlightened, wouldn't he be able to unlock even more moves?
Xue Qingliu examined it and said, "It's not that easy. It has only improved in quality and gained some spirituality, but it is still far from meeting the standard for enlightenment."

As soon as Xue Qingliu finished speaking, Chen Wang examined it carefully and found that it was indeed so. However, it could enhance the quality of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and contain some spirituality, which made Chen Wang very happy.

Chen Wang muttered to himself, "Actually... it's better for magic weapons not to have their own consciousness, otherwise they might get scared, back down, or turn against me during a fight, which would be a disaster for me."

Chen Wang couldn't help but think of the Mirror God, who lazily basked in the sun every day, and a thought stirred within him.
"Xue Jiangbai said that the great array covering the entire Daoning World needs a key point. I wonder if that guy Mirror God can do it?"

The Mirror God was sunbathing when he suddenly shivered. He was somewhat surprised.
"In broad daylight, who is spying on me in the dark?"

He had a vague sense of unease, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
