Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 667 Fusion of Perfect Characteristics into One
Mission World 119, Spirit Cloud Realm.

The Xuanling Dynasty is located 100 li outside the city of Tongyun Prefecture.

In the fields, the once thriving grains had all been uprooted and leveled, and square bluestone bricks had been laid to form a flat and open square.

Directly opposite the Xuanling Pagoda is an altar built strictly according to the specifications recorded in ancient books.

The altar is entirely dark purple, similar in color to the exterior of the 'Mysterious Cloud Spirit Dividing Tower'.

It tapers upwards in a stepped fashion, with five levels in total, each step being exceptionally wide and thick.

The highest point of the altar is not flat, but rather a concave, bowl-shaped structure, resembling a giant stone mortar.

Lacking the sacred offerings, the altar was only adorned with gold, jade, jewels, and various livestock.

Officials and nobles dressed in brocade robes and fine clothes gathered around the altar, chatting among themselves. Every now and then, they would glance at the portraits of the 'Mysterious Spirit Tower' painted by the world's top artists hanging on both sides, a hint of longing flashing in their eyes.

Two months ago, Chi Jiuyu went to Lingyun Mountain and had a great battle with Gu Xingyun, which brought the Xuanling Tower hidden inside the mountain into the eyes of the world.

Because the commotion was so great, the most powerful small group of people in the entire Xuanling Dynasty quickly learned of it.

Perhaps it was to pay homage to the immortal traces, or perhaps it was to obtain the immortal techniques as in the legends and seek immortality.

After all, they all knew that the so-called 'cultivation for immortality' had actually existed many years ago.

As a result, many people arrived at Tongyun Prefecture City immediately.

just in case……

What if it's an immortal reopening their cave and accepting disciples to inherit their legacy?

If you're late, you'll miss it!

With this in mind, the first thing they wanted to do upon arriving in Tongyun Prefecture was to go to the Xuanling Tower.

When they arrived, they discovered that they had lost their way, not to mention reaching the vicinity of the Xuanling Tower. They were still more than a hundred miles away when they got lost.

Even the hunters most familiar with this area will lose their way the moment they cross the boundary.

The reason for this was that Gu Xingyun had set up multiple arrays around the Xuanling Tower to prevent Chi Jiuyu from launching a sneak attack.

Ordinary people naturally cannot see through the illusion created by the formation.

As for why not kill them once and for all...

What if these mortals are a test used by that suddenly appearing cultivator?

The supernatural powers that Chi Jiuyu had previously displayed were too mysterious, leaving Gu Xingyun with considerable psychological trauma.

Naturally, we should do whatever is safest and most reliable.

That's the truth, but the problem is that those who came to Tongyun Prefecture didn't know that.

They simply thought their 'sincerity' was insufficient.

They even came up with a solution together later.

As the most powerful small group in the Xuanling Dynasty, the resources they could mobilize combined even exceeded those of the emperor of the Xuanling Dynasty.

In less than a month, they mobilized a large amount of manpower and resources to build this altar, and offered gold, jade and jewels, as well as three kinds of sacrificial animals and five kinds of livestock on the altar to express their determination to seek immortality and ask questions.

Of course, it still didn't help.

For Gu Xingyun, the methods of cultivation in his era could only be obtained by completely selling oneself to the sect.

These mortals actually think they can obtain cultivation methods with a little worldly gold and silver and a few ordinary beasts?
It’s simply whimsical!

……

……

It was located more than 130 miles outside the city of Tongyun Prefecture, on the other side of the outer perimeter of the great formation.

laugh!
A violent white sword light slashed across, tearing apart a black-clad figure with an expressionless face and a resemblance to Gu Xingyun.

"It's getting weaker and weaker."

Amidst the muttering, Chi Jiuyu gracefully twirled his sword and held it behind his back.

That's truly the style of a sword immortal!
After feeling a little smug, I realized...

She stepped forward, golden light surging in her eyes, and looked at Gu Xingyun's clone, which had been cut in two and was gradually turning into ashes and dissipating.

"What the hell is this idiot doing?"

Ever since she used guerrilla tactics to take down several of his clones, that idiot seems to have realized that she, the Nine Fish Ancestor, is not easy to deal with, so he keeps sending over some trash clones.

While the previous clones were weak, they still had some unique features. But these later clones are truly useless.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the worst of the worst, the utter garbage!
how to say……

If we consider the initial sword clone as an elite monster.

If that idiot himself and his two clones with extreme characteristics can be considered a boss monster.

These clones are now, at best, just 'minions'.

Just like those mediocre Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuanxiang Realm during the previous Immortal Sect Grand Competition, they were all people who could be killed with a single sword strike!

After a while.

As the two halves of his body completely dissipated, Chi Jiuyu looked up ahead, the golden light still shimmering in his eyes.

Under the power of the Void-Piercing Golden Eye, one could see complex and winding array patterns intertwining and flowing, forming several overlapping arrays with astonishing power.

The base of each great array is a perfectly standard prism, with a unique color shimmering within it.

Upon seeing this, Chi Jiuyu couldn't help but curse aloud:
"Damn it! What a waste!"

This idiot actually used the 'origin of the world' as the core to build the formation!
This scene broke Chi Jiuyu's heart.

After all, every time she uses one portion, she can take one less portion of the world's essence with her after defeating Gu Xingyun!
That's all her money that's being burned!
"It can't be delayed any longer."

We need to get closer and find out more about that idiot.

Putting aside the issue of the 'origin of the world' being wasted, that bastard sends out these trashy clones but doesn't come out himself.

They're probably up to something bad!
Immediately, Chi Jiuyu took out a light gray prismatic crystal from his storage ring—the Supreme Type IV Array Virus!
It was the latest generation of array virus from the Supreme Dao Sect that she purchased through Zhao Ruohan's channels.

It is said to be even more effective than the Lingyin Type III Array Virus produced by Lingyinfang.

I wonder if Lingyinfang has developed any new array viruses...

These two companies have been competing in the field of 'array virus' for many years, and Lingyin series array viruses have always been more effective.

Actually, the Sword Sect also has array viruses.

As for the effect...

There is still a slight gap compared to these two.

After calming himself down, Chi Jiuyu channeled a wisp of magical power into the array virus, using his divine sense as a guide to direct the light gray prismatic crystal forward.

Buzz~!

With an invisible wave spreading out, the light gray prismatic crystal completely disappeared into the void.

In an instant, the array patterns flowing through the void, constantly meandering and intertwining, were covered with a layer of light gray light.

It started as a small part.

But before long, all the array patterns were affected, and the area within a radius of more than a hundred miles centered on the Xuanling Tower was shrouded in a layer of hazy dark light.

So that's how the array virus works.

Chi Jiuyu sighed inwardly.

She didn't use this thing much before, since most of her missions used to take place in the starry sky.

Using array viruses on those crude arrays built by alien races would be a waste; they would usually just break through them directly!

But now it's different. This is an extraordinary system of the entire world, from its birth to its demise, a formation that integrates all extraordinary wisdom.

It may have a lower ceiling, but it is by no means crude!

Some of their ingenious ideas are even worth learning from!

However, none of this has anything to do with Chi Jiuyu.

Her talent for formations was so poor that she couldn't even reach the basics, let alone learn the ingenious techniques. The main reason she wanted to seize control of the formations was that she genuinely couldn't defeat Gu Xingyun along with his two clones, 'The Ultimate God' and 'The Ultimate Law'...

In short, secretly seizing control of the formation might just be the last straw that breaks the camel's back at a crucial moment!
Soon, through the erosion of the array virus, Chi Jiuyu successfully seized control of all the arrays surrounding the Xuanling Tower.

The Supreme Type IV Array Virus boasts a comprehensive performance upgrade, making one virus more powerful than six!

That advertising slogan flashed through my mind.

Chi Jiuyu used his concealment technique to manipulate the formation, creating an opening and transforming into a streak of sword light as he rushed towards the Xuanling Tower at the very center of the formation.

……

……

Inside the Xuanling Tower at this moment.

deepest.

On an altar carved from a dark purple spirit jade, its overall appearance is exactly the same as the altar outside the city of Tongyun Prefecture.

Several figures sat quietly around the central depression.

They look exactly alike, but their temperaments are all different.

Whether indifferent or desolate, like subjects guarding their king, their powerful energy, so strong it shook the very void, flowed in the same direction—

This is the original owner, Gu Xingyun.

Different streams of energy flowed into his body, and through the fusion of the "Shepherd Spirit Nourishing Myself Transforming Azure True Scripture," they became perfectly harmonious.

In the very center, in a depression resembling a stone mortar, lies a pool of strange liquid that sways and shimmers with unusual colors.

The origin of the world.

The rising mist and haze resembled lithe dragons circling around him, gradually being swallowed as he breathed in and out, propelling the process of 'unity of all things'.

Beneath the altar, Humanity Gu Xingyun watched as everything unfolded on it.

at last……

The day has finally come.

Under pressure from the suddenly appearing cultivator, the main body decided to take a gamble and prepare to merge with many clones to start the ritual again.

In that cruel era where human life was cheap, the ability to stand out and reap the rewards of the entire world was due to the 'foresight' ability bestowed by the Xuan Yun Spirit Dividing Tower and the 'Shepherd Spirit Nourishing Myself Transforming Azure True Scripture'.

His courage to risk everything and fight desperately in times of crisis is also an important reason why he was able to do all this.

Recalling the past, a complex emotion flickered in Renxing Gu Xingyun's crystal-clear, seven-colored eyes.

As the vessel that holds 'humanity', he must be by the side at all times during the process of the main body merging with many clones, so as to accommodate any excess humanity that naturally arises from the main body during the merging process.

Furthermore, before beginning the ritual, the main body will also merge and unify him.

Normally, the deity must avoid the influence of human nature on itself, but once the ritual begins, it must ensure its integrity.

His 'humanity,' which is usually a burden, is naturally an indispensable part as well.

A surge of energy coursed through the body of the main figure, Gu Xingyun.

One after another, clones possessing 'perfect qualities' were continuously fused with him, resulting in an improvement that was even greater than expected.

If things continue like this, perhaps there won't even be a need for rituals.

Once it has absorbed the two clones, 'Ultimate God' and 'Ultimate Law', it will be able to withstand the cultivator's sword strike that annihilates everything.

However, the prerequisite for doing this is...

He can perfectly contain all his clones without relying on ritual power, ensuring that he does not collapse.

Really...

Will it go that smoothly?
Humanity·Gu Xingyun sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

……

……

The seventh floor of the Xuanling Pagoda.

The Divine Weapon Storage Area is the area where the clone with the perfect 'Bone' attribute once resided.

The divine and malevolent energy circulating in this area can greatly help the clone temper its bones.

However, the clone here has been merged with Gu Xingyun's main body, so the entire seventh floor is now empty.

hum~
With an extremely faint ringing sound, the sword light flashed and disappeared.

Chi Jiuyu's figure suddenly appeared inside the tower, and a talisman in his palm turned into ashes and disappeared.

A talisman for suppressing evil spirits.

A mid-level talisman, typically used by star refiners, construction teams, and the like to seal celestial components, malfunctioning magical artifacts, and the like.

The effect of talismans is also very simple: after use, depending on the level of the magical artifact, it can seal some of the artifact's functions.

When Star Refiners are improving the celestial environment, there are times when celestial components are used improperly. In such cases, they must use a talisman to seal the components to prevent the incorrect components from affecting the completed parts.

This is also one of the six mid-level talismans that Chi Jiuyu has mastered.

The main reason is that it has a wide range of uses; these kinds of talismans usually sell very well, so she learned how to make them first.

However, I recently heard that the Supreme Daoist Sect is preparing to create a spell with an extremely low learning threshold to replace the function of the artifact-suppressing talisman and reduce costs...

Fucked!

Those scoundrels really don't treat talisman masters like human beings!
After letting out a cry from the bottom of his heart, a cry belonging to a sunset profession, Chi Jiuyu waved his hand and collected the scattered talisman ashes.

He took out another pill to replenish his mana and swallowed it. Then, while maintaining his concealment ability, he activated his Void-Piercing Golden Eye and carefully began exploring the seventh level.

The artifact-suppressing talisman can work on the Xuanling Tower, since its crafting method isn't particularly good.

But it can't be used all the time.

The refining technique may be bad, but the grade is still pretty good. If you use it too much, that idiot might discover that you've sneaked in!
And so, she tiptoed around the entire seventh floor.

Finally, they arrived at the storage room where divine weapons and magical artifacts were stored.

emm...

Nobody's here?!
No!

Such lax precautions!
Your house is haunted...

Bah Bah!

Nine Fishermen Ancestor has been infiltrating for so long, and you still haven't noticed?

What a piece of trash!

She wandered around the storage room.

The spacious storage room was filled with all sorts of divine weapons and magical artifacts, a dazzling array.

Most of them are the treasured artifacts of major sects in ancient times, while a small portion were crafted by Gu Xingyun after he harvested the world's origin and integrated various extraordinary knowledge.

so so.

However, the material itself is worth a lot of money; you can take some back and sell it to the alchemists in the sect's Dan Ding Pavilion or Shen Ji Lian Bao Pavilion.

Thinking of this, she casually tossed out a talisman.

The flames blazed, reflecting off every divine weapon and magical artifact.

With a wave of his hand, all the divine weapons and magical artifacts vanished without a trace, leaving only illusory outlines in their original positions.

Having done all this, she turned and walked out of the storeroom, beginning her looting...

wrong!

They began to investigate other levels.
