A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

Over the years, Li Qiang occasionally entered the Divine Treasure Tower to study, and unknowingly, his knowledge and understanding of the Heavenly Dao have greatly improved. Because of this, he is well aware of the difficulty of setting up the divine array.

A divine formation—since it contains the word "divine," it must be a formation that only gods could set up. And Luo Cheng is only at the third level of cultivation!

"Senior brother, do you know how to set up divine arrays?" Li Qiang couldn't help but ask.

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "My cultivation level is indeed a bit low. How about this, I'll raise it first; reaching the fifth level should be enough."

"Well!"

Everyone around was stunned.

Is one's realm something that can be improved simply by talking about it?

Of everyone present, Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng were the most distressed. They had cultivated diligently for hundreds of thousands of years and were still only at the Luo Tian Shang Xian level, unable to take that step.

Lone Star had cultivated for over a million years, and had previously reincarnated with the help of the Heaven-Defying Mirror, and then endured arduous training within the Heavenly General Wheel of the Azure Emperor, barely managing to touch the threshold of the Heavenly Monarch realm. This demonstrates just how difficult it is to advance in one's cultivation level.

Luo Cheng calmly replied, "Although becoming a god is still somewhat difficult, advancing one or two realms is not a problem."

"Original owner!" Qian Shanyong asked worriedly, "You've advanced two major realms in one go, won't your foundation become unstable?"

Qian Shanyong also understood that cultivating the divine realm required restraint and one should not blindly break through. A cultivator whose realm was unstable was very likely to explode and die.

In ancient times, most people failed to cultivate to godhood because their cultivation level was insufficient.

"With my foundation, breaking through to the Eight Immortals Heaven is not a problem. However, to solidify my foundation, it's more appropriate to reach the Five Supporting Heaven first." Luo Cheng said, taking out a Wu Yun Divine Pill and swallowing it, then activating the Cultivation Divine Heaven Recommendation Chapter.

In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly and converged towards Luo Cheng.

However, the spiritual energy is still insufficient!

Luo Cheng took out the ancient cultivation stone he had just obtained and placed it beside him. This time, the spiritual energy was finally sufficient.

The spiritual energy of the ancient cultivation stone contained a trace of the rhythmic fluctuations of the divine realm, which was extremely mysterious, like the sound of the Great Dao. This not only made Luo Cheng's realm more stable and his divine chess power more solid, but also brought an unexpected joy—he discovered that his divine chess power was beginning to transform into divine power.

Divine power is the power cultivated by cultivators in the lower realms, while divine power is a power unique to gods. Only by becoming a god can one possess divine power and gain all sorts of incredible abilities.

Luo Cheng never expected that he could generate a trace of divine power even before becoming a god. This would make setting up the divine array much easier.

Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng observed Luo Cheng's breakthrough process, sensing the fluctuations of divine power and gaining insight into its profound meaning. This would be of immense benefit to their future cultivation. It was precisely because of this that they understood even more clearly how unfathomable Luo Cheng's realm truly was.

When Luo Cheng raised his cultivation level to the fifth level—the Fifth Heaven Realm—he concealed his aura and returned his energy to its origin. At this moment, he looked just like an ordinary mortal.

"Junior brother, this level should be enough," Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Li Qiang said helplessly, "Senior brother, this is too discouraging. Others who cultivate the divine realm either cannot improve or progress very slowly, but you can freely control your realm."

"We shouldn't take realm too seriously; it's just a symbolic representation," Luo Cheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Listen to this, is this even human language? If cultivators could control their cultivation level at will, why would cultivation be so difficult?

The most frustrated were Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng. They finally understood that they could never compare themselves to a monster like Luo Cheng, or they would only feel frustrated. They had cultivated diligently for hundreds of thousands of years, yet their cultivation levels remained stagnant, while Luo Cheng…

"Alright, it's time to set up the divine array." Luo Cheng interrupted everyone's thoughts. "Junior brother, I think using four low-grade divine artifacts is the most suitable for setting it up."

"Let me ask Xiangxiang," Li Qiang said, a thought suddenly occurring to him. "Xiangxiang, do you still have any magical artifacts?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiangxiang responded cheerfully from inside the Divine Treasure Tower.

While there aren't many high-grade and king-grade divine artifacts in the Divine Treasure Tower, there are plenty of low-grade divine artifacts. This is because crafting low-grade divine artifacts doesn't require the master's intervention; as long as there are the crafting materials, Xiangxiang can complete the process independently.

"Oh, right!" Li Qiang suddenly remembered something. "Senior brother, you haven't had a suitable weapon. I'll have Xiangxiang find one for you."

"Alright, I'll take a functional artifact." Luo Cheng nodded.

In Luo Cheng's view, artifacts primarily based on formations are best suited for use as functional artifacts. As for combat, he plans to personally forge a combat-type artifact.

Luo Cheng has always believed that density is crucial. Array-type artifacts, due to the numerous arrays arranged within them, have a lower density. This is acceptable when fighting lower-level cultivators, but it becomes insufficient when fighting geniuses of the same level or those of higher levels.

Of course, if it is forged with Primordial Purple Qi or Profound Yellow Spiritual Qi, that's a different story. Divine weapons forged with Profound Yellow Spiritual Qi possess the characteristic of immortality and are extremely tough. Unfortunately, both of these spiritual energies are treasures from the creation of the world, and are rarely seen even in the divine realm, let alone the lower realms.

Therefore, Luo Cheng decided to settle for second best and gather the essence of the five elements to forge a divine weapon himself. He hadn't forged one before, firstly because his cultivation was still too weak, and secondly because he lacked the materials. Now that he had reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm and obtained a large amount of forging materials from the Treasure Star, it was time to begin forging it.

Li Qiang asked Xiangxiang, "Are there any useful functional gadgets?"

Xiangxiang can sense the outside world and knows that Li Qiang is searching for the divine artifact for Luo Cheng.

"If we had a Celestial Spirit Sword, it would be most suitable for your senior brother. It's made from chaotic spiritual energy and is also known as the Chaos Sword," Xiangxiang said.

Li Qiang thought to himself, "Wow, he just mentioned a treasure of this level right off the bat." He asked curiously, "Who has the Chaos Sword?"

"When I descended to the mortal realm, I heard from my old master that the Primordial Celestial Venerable gave the Chaos Sword to the Sword God."

"Sword God?"

"The Sword God is one of the four ancient gods of the Divine Realm."

Li Qiang understood; it was an existence of unimaginable power. He had heard Luo Cheng say that there were two Heavenly Venerables in the Divine Realm, and the Ancient Gods were the strongest beings below the Heavenly Venerables, with the four Ancient Gods each ruling over a region of the Divine Realm.

Every time Li Qiang talked with Xiangxiang, he felt his eyes were opened and he longed for the divine realm more and more.

"Xiangxiang, what kind of world is the Divine Realm?"

"It was a very magical world, said to have been created by my former master and the Primordial Celestial Venerable."

How large is the realm of the gods?

"It is said that the Horse God, one of the four ancient gods, rode his celestial horse in one direction for millions of years but still did not reach the border of the divine realm."

"Riding a horse?" Li Qiang found it unbelievable. How fast can a horse run?

Xiangxiang explained, "Brother, don't underestimate the Pegasus! The Pegasus beside the Horse God is also at the Ancient God level, and it possesses the special ability to fold space. Apart from the Celestial Venerable, the Pegasus is the fastest creature in the Divine Realm."

"So that's how it is!" Li Qiang was shocked. Just how vast was the Divine Realm?

"I guess only the old master knows how big the Divine Realm is," Xiangxiang said. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll find you a divine artifact."

"How's the Xuanhuang Cauldron?"

"What rank?"

"A royal-grade divine artifact." Xiangxiang's tone was filled with pride. "It was born before me. I heard from the old master that before I was born, he used the Xuanhuang Cauldron to collect and refine chaotic energy in the chaos."

Li Qiang understood; this was a treasure capable of refining chaotic energy.

"Okay, that's it!" Li Qiang then asked, "By the way, how does the Xuanhuang Cauldron compare to yours?"

"Of course I'm more powerful!" Xiangxiang said proudly. "After I was born, my old master put away the Xuanhuang Cauldron. After that, he used me for everything, whether it was fighting, refining weapons, or making pills."

"Turns out, our Xiangxiang is the most amazing one!"

"That's right, that's right!" Xiangxiang was overjoyed to receive the praise.

Li Qiang took out the Xuanhuang Cauldron and said to Luo Cheng, "Senior brother, I found you a divine artifact called the Xuanhuang Cauldron."

"Um?"

The moment the Xuanhuang Cauldron appeared, it exuded a powerful aura that suppressed the void in all directions and stabilized the five elements.

"A royal-grade artifact!" Luo Cheng recognized its grade at a glance.

Qian Shanyong exclaimed in amazement, "This divine artifact is even more powerful than Bei Ye's alchemy cauldron!"

Luo Cheng was quite satisfied with the Xuanhuang Cauldron. Although it wasn't as powerful as a Celestial Venerable Treasure, it was second only to it. As long as it didn't clash head-on with a Celestial Venerable Treasure, it wouldn't be easily damaged. However, he still decided to forge a divine weapon that truly belonged to him.

Taking the Xuanhuang Cauldron, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Junior Brother, thank you!"

"Don't be so polite with me!"

To be honest, when Li Qiang acquired the four divine artifacts, Luo Cheng refused to take any of them, and Li Qiang always felt bad about it. Later, Luo Cheng helped him acquire the Divine Treasure Tower and passed on the Heavenly Venerable's inheritance to him. Li Qiang remembered all of this. In his heart, his senior brother, who had higher comprehension, deserved to receive the Heavenly Venerable's inheritance.

Then, Li Qiang took out twelve more low-grade divine artifacts. Everyone was stunned when they saw so many divine artifacts.

Li Qiang noticed Dai Nanfeng's gaze and suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, Sister Fengyu doesn't have a divine artifact yet. Let me look for it."

He picked out a divine artifact suitable for a female immortal and handed it to Dai Nanfengyu: "Sister Fengyu, this divine artifact is for you."

"Ah!" Dai Nanfeng was momentarily speechless.

This is a divine artifact! In the Immortal Realm, immortals would fight tooth and nail for a single divine artifact. She never expected that Li Qiang would casually give her one, and judging by its quality, it was a mid-grade divine artifact, even better than the Wrath of the Gods.

Li Qiang laughed and said, "What's wrong? Doesn't Sister Feng Yu like it?"

"Who said I don't like it!" Dai Nanfeng snatched the artifact away. "No taking it back!"

"I will never go back on my word!"

Clearly, Li Qiang genuinely considered Dai Nanfengyu a friend. Dai Nanfengyu felt fortunate to have met a friend like Li Qiang. He had not only saved her life but also gifted her a divine artifact.

Luo Cheng examined the twelve low-grade divine artifacts. Most of them were offensive, which was enough to set up a divine array.

"Let's go, we're going to Tianyuan Star!"

Led by Luo Cheng, the group arrived at Tianyuan Star.

"Junior brother, you know a bit about formations, come and help."

"good!"
