The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 541 The Old Road
Wang Wu fell into deep thought.

Then came the hysterical laughter.

Is this a case of great minds thinking alike?

Honestly, he never intended to build the Tower of Sin; he had never even considered it before.

He summarized and described the variables based on the twenty-four solar terms, and as a result, he built a Tower of Sin.

It's like an ordinary person first randomly draws a line on the ground, and then calculates according to some kind of rule as they draw, eventually arriving at a circle.

If pi is the cultivation manual for mortals, then does Wang Wu now possess the cultivation manual for immortals?

"So, I've finally caught up with my predecessors?"

Wang Wu thought of the many Sin Towers in the cultivation world, not just hundreds, but thousands or even tens of thousands, which had settled in the lowest dimension of the cultivation world with the dust.

These Towers of Sin certainly weren't all built by those twelve Great Luo Immortals. No matter how powerful or capable they were, there was no need for them to build so many, right?

This is not logical.

Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that before them, before them, someone else had built it and left it behind.

Many of the prison towers became ownerless, and after being repaired, they were used to imprison criminals. Some were even used as eternal immortal artifacts to guide the illumination of yin and yang energies.

Now it seems this thing shouldn't be called the Tower of Sin; it should be called the Tower of Enlightenment.

This represents the process by which a Taiyi True Immortal discovered the fundamental laws governing the world's operation, even the most rudimentary ones, and then recorded, described, and mastered them.

The Tower of Sin is such a testament.

Therefore, the actions of those twelve Great Luo Immortals in relocating all the Sin Prison Towers were quite interesting; it was almost like taking away all the textbooks.

Essentially, it's like saying, "I've reached the top, so I'll remove the ladder."

Wang Wu neither commented on nor criticized or cursed this behavior, because it was simply human nature.

If you're so capable, come up here yourself.

So, Wang Wu built himself a ladder that wasn't quite up to standard.

He looked at his Sin Prison Tower, which was built entirely from the ruins of the Great Wilderness City. The difference was that each type of material was nourished with spiritual energy, so the actual cost was not small. Over the past five thousand years, he had spent a hundred billion points of spiritual energy on it.

But it's totally worth it.

Even if it's just a miniature prison tower.

It was of great use to Wang Wu, who summarized and organized 150 formula structures for it, and then combined them into nine categories, which corresponded exactly to the nine array symbols that Yin Yuan Shen Jun had given him.

Yes, that's right, very similar.

This means that Wang Wu spent 6000 years and accumulated 100 billion points of spiritual energy to prove the answers to the nine array symbols that he already knew more than 2,000 years ago.

It sounds a bit funny.

Wang Wu knew those nine array symbols by heart; as long as he had the materials and the Yin and Yang energies to illuminate them, he could deploy them in no time.

Now, Wang Wu can perform these nine array symbols with his eyes closed, without needing materials or the illumination of Yin and Yang energies.

In addition, there are slight differences.

The nine array symbols of Yin Yuan Divine Lord are 97.82% similar to Wang Wu's nine, with only 2.18% difference. These two figures prove that Wang Wu will at least reach the level of Yin Yuan Divine Lord in the future.

The latter involves adding or subtracting margins, because he doesn't know who is right or wrong, so he just adds or subtracts from this base to see who is more correct.

This can also be considered a discussion of the Dao.

But this path is not about eloquent speech or unparalleled debating skills.

Instead, we need to use real data for comparison.

"Therefore, one try will tell."

Wang Wu activated the Five Elements Cat Array and imported one of the nine array symbols he had deduced, which he also named the White Tiger Array Symbol, just like reinstalling a system.

Whether it works or not, we'll see in practice.

However, while importing his new White Tiger Array Symbol, Wang Wu also developed a very clear strategy for reforming his first-series Five Elements Profound Yellow Array.

Yes, it can be upgraded to a fourth-order Foundation Building Formation.

For Wang Wu, who had deduced the nine types of array symbols, this was a piece of cake.

The whole process was uneventful.

After all, the similarity is over 97%, so it's just minor adjustments that won't cause much of a stir.

The adjustments were completed quickly.

Wang Wu activated the Five Elements Cat Formation again, but felt nothing. The Five Elements Cat Formation was as effective as ever, and even his level 24.5 Spiritual Acuity Detection couldn't detect the subtle differences.

This result surprised him greatly, which also meant that the Hidden Origin Divine Lord was not lacking in anything, and that he, Wang Wu, might lose at this step.

Could it be that the accumulation of Yin Yuan Divine Lord over millions of years is not as good as his accumulation of six thousand years?

Wang Wu was quite calm, but that didn't mean he had wasted his six thousand years of life. His goal wasn't to compete with Yin Yuan Shenjun in terms of strength. Even if the nine array symbols he deduced were weaker and less complete than Yin Yuan Shenjun's, it didn't matter.

Most importantly, he was able to build the Tower of Sin.

The Tower of Sin is capable of receiving signals from Yin and Yang energies and adjusting its illumination. Wang Wu entered this miniature Tower of Sin, pondered for a long time, and then slowly activated it. After a long wait, he finally detected a signal from Yin and Yang energies.

He slowly adjusted and finally brought the Yin and Yang energies to their clearest and most precise state, then illuminated his Five Elements Cat Array.

Because Yin and Yang are the most standard and undisputed answers.

This kind of illumination can reveal who is better and who is worse.

As expected, Wang Wu lost.

The array he deduced over six thousand years is inferior to the array of Yin Yuan Divine Lord. The difference between the two is as high as—well, 0.8 percent.
Therefore, the only difference between the array symbols deduced by Yin Yuan Shen Jun and the Great Dao is the difference between 98.62% and 100%.
Is he unable to make up for the difference, or is it that he can only take an approximation?
Or perhaps all the versions he produced were for export?

Thinking this, Wang Wu quickly shut down the miniature prison tower and dispersed the yin and yang energies. This thing cannot be left open for long, nor can it be left unattended. It should be exposed to light every now and then.

Over time, traces will inevitably be left, and it will be easy for those twelve Great Luo Immortals to discover them. In fact, if there were still Taiyi Immortals like Li Huojun or Xiong Dijia in this cultivation world at this moment, they might have sensed it in that brief moment and come looking for it.

This is like a moth drawn to a flame; the Taiyi True Immortal's yearning for the Yin and Yang energies is no less than that of a guiding light.

Yes, that's the significance of Wang Wu spending six thousand years.

There are gaps, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that I can create them myself.

Even if others knew the nine array symbols, they couldn't possibly deduce a miniature Sin Prison Tower from them; it wasn't something that could be deduced through reverse engineering.

It needs to be calculated from the observation of the twenty-four solar terms.

Next, Wang Wu began to make sweeping adjustments and upgrades to the Five Elements Profound Yellow Array. This process was too easy, like cutting melons and vegetables, and was completed in less than half a month.

The fourth-order foundation-building formation had the same effect as the Five Elements Cat Formation, so he casually named it the Five Elements Dog Formation.

Once this Five Elements Puppy Array is formed, its impact on the first sequence will be significant.

His ancient bear bloodline gained another 10% of its evolutionary potential, but unfortunately, it had reached its limit and was eventually fixed at 99.9%.

It was at this moment that he had a sudden realization: he was going to catch up with that ancient Xiong Da Luo in this regard.

Note that this refers only to the level of bloodline evolution, not overall strength.

"Fortunately, I'm currently in the cultivation world. If I were to actually go to the Celestial Realm created by Ancient Xiong Daluo, I would definitely be taken in for questioning. Surely Ancient Xiong Daluo wouldn't use me to refine immortal gu?"

Wang Wu thought half-jokingly, without taking it seriously. Whether it was true or not, could Gu Xiong Da Luo still return to the cultivation world?

However, he benefited greatly.

His lifespan alone increased by 10,000 years, and his total life value limit successfully exceeded 100 million.

The power balance of the first sequence has already reached parity with that of the second sequence.

If he deploys a fourth-order foundation-building array in the third sequence in the future, his overall strength will probably break through to the eighth level of Taiyi immediately.

Then, the ninth level of Taiyi, and finally, the half-step to Daluo.

If I can expect to live for 500,000 years, that would be great.

Wang Wu chuckled to himself, about to continue his research, when suddenly a thought struck him. He sensed someone approaching, and the aura of the newcomer was... damn it, how could it be her!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Wu appeared tens of thousands of miles away, bumping right into the newcomer.

That's right, it's Frost Lord!

She didn't leave; she actually stayed in the cultivation world!

Shuangjun was not surprised at all. Nothing had changed in six thousand years, except that her gaze was more intense and persistent. Wang Wu seemed to have become the only one in her eyes.

"How did you..."

Wang Wu didn't have a chance to finish his sentence before he succumbed to despair.

A life of gentle comfort is quite nice too.

……

……

A few days later, Wang Wu took Shuang Jun's hand and showed her the miniature prison tower.

"You are really audacious. The Twelve Great Luo have already established heavenly rules and regulations. If your behavior is discovered, heavenly soldiers and generals will descend to earth. However, it is fortunate that you were able to do this, otherwise we might have missed each other."

Shuangjun sighed, "I stayed behind because I was afraid you would do something foolish and stay to look for me. But I have been looking for you for six thousand years, and I have searched almost the entire cultivation world without finding any trace of you. I have even searched for more than ten years in this Great Wilderness City ruins, but I don't know which wicked person has cleaned up all the traces."

“I went to great lengths to find out where you last appeared, and it turns out you really have been here all along. I never expected you could do this. Now you are only one step away from becoming a half-step Great Luo.”

“But you’re already at the half-step Great Luo level, didn’t you sense it?” Wang Wu asked with a smile.

Surprisingly, Shuangjun shook her head and looked at Wang Wu with gentle eyes, "That is my ambition, my aspiration. When she advances to the half-step Great Luo realm, it means that you and I will both be abandoned."

"Or, you could say that I took my ambition with me and left my tenderness with you. We are no longer on the same path. Even if we meet again in the future, we will never become one again."

"I don't care about these things, I just hope you won't hold any grudges."

"Can I win her over again?"

Wang Wu suddenly asked, half-jokingly.

Shuangjun remained silent, his gaze deep and unfathomable, like the starry sky.
