Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Jiang Hao smiled slightly as he observed the reactions of the three young men.

"Alright, that's enough of the small talk."

Jiang Hao stood before the dazzling platform, his gaze sweeping over the dense array of Dao patterns surrounding him.

Those patterns are complex and profound, each one containing the Dao and Dharma of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao in his lifetime, which together form this awe-inspiring array that has maintained its vitality for millions of years.

"You guys stay here and watch, don't move," he said to the three young men behind him without turning his head.

"Watch carefully, this process will greatly benefit you."

Feng Xi, Xiao Zhanhuang, and Chu Changge immediately nodded, their expressions serious.

They certainly understood what this meant.

Watching a contemporary emperor analyze, repair, and improve the supreme array left behind by another mythical celestial being is tantamount to directly observing the operation and evolution of the Great Dao's origin.

This kind of opportunity is more precious than any divine skill manual.

"Especially you two." Jiang Hao looked at Little War Emperor and Chu Changge.

"You have just experienced a thrilling battle and are at the stage where your understanding of your own Dao is most acute. Watching this now will bring you unexpected gains."

Their eyes lit up, and they quickly composed themselves and focused intently.

Jiang Hao said no more and turned to face the great formation.

His eyes shimmered with divine light, and countless Dao patterns seemed to be evolving deep within his pupils.

Those array patterns that were incomprehensible to ordinary people gradually became clear to him.

In fact, for him now, deciphering these array patterns is not too difficult.

After all, he had already entered the Dao Proving Realm, and his understanding of the essence of the Great Dao had reached an extremely high level.

Moreover, he had also practiced the Lingbao Scripture and had a deep understanding of the Taoist system of Lingbao Tianzun.

Soon, the structure, principles, and mechanisms of the entire formation came to mind.

"I see……"

Jiang Hao muttered to himself.

The core of this grand formation is based on Lingbao Tianzun's own celestial platform as the central hub, with the celestial platforms of two otherworldly supreme beings serving as the array's focal points, thus constructing a three-dimensional cycle of reincarnation.

The great formation extracted the remaining essence and Dao principles from the two supreme immortal platforms, and after special transformation, injected them into the immortal platform of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, maintaining the vitality in that pool of divine liquid.

At the same time, the great formation also set up a spirit-gathering method to slowly collect the remaining fragments of true spirit from various parts of the star field.

The design was ingenious, but Jiang Hao also noticed some problems.

"The conversion efficiency is too low, and the attraction to the True Spirit fragments isn't strong enough..." He frowned slightly.

"No wonder that millions of years have passed and the true spirits have not yet been fully gathered."

It wasn't that Lingbao Tianzun lacked ability, but rather that he was already on his deathbed at the time, and to be able to set up such a grand formation was already considered defying the heavens.

Some shortcomings in details are inevitable.

But now that Jiang Hao has arrived, these shortcomings can be made up for.

He raised his hand, and a chaotic flow of energy swirled at his fingertips.

"Let's start with the conversion process."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao began to move.

He formed hand seals, and beams of chaotic immortal light flew out from his palms, landing precisely on the key nodes of the great formation.

The celestial light merged into the array patterns as if they were alive, and began to fine-tune and strengthen the array according to Jiang Hao's will.

The entire underground world began to tremble.

The Great Dao began to resonate.

At the two key points of the formation, the altars of the two otherworldly supreme beings began to emit a soft yet dazzling light.

The light flowed along the array patterns and converged towards the central platform.

The divine liquid in the central Sendai began to boil.

The already raging flames became even more intense, radiating an immortal vitality.

At the same time, an invisible force spread out from Sendai, sweeping across the entire humanoid star field.

Feng Xi and the other two held their breath, staring wide-eyed at the scene.

They could sense that some extremely tiny, almost imperceptible points of light were being drawn from the depths of the star field.

Those points of light were so tiny that even their divine senses could hardly detect them. If the great formation hadn't been operating at full power and manifesting these strange phenomena, they wouldn't have been able to find them at all.

"That's... a fragment of Lingbao Tianzun's true spirit?" Chu Changge asked softly.

"It should be." The Little War Emperor nodded, his golden eyes gleaming.

"So tiny... If it weren't for the great array pulling them together, these fragments would probably have been scattered throughout the star field forever."

As the fragments of the true spirit continued to gather, the divine liquid in the Sendai began to change.

Blurry Daoist figures emerged from the flames, evolving various powerful killing techniques, profound array diagrams, and an aura of majesty that transcended all other Daos.

The Great Dao of Lingbao Tianzun began to manifest around the Sendai.

Although it was still very blurry and faint, the supreme Daoist aura belonging to the Celestial Venerables of the mythological era slowly spread out.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly as he watched this scene.

"The true spirit is slowly gathering," he said softly, "but it will take some time."

Based on his keen eye, he estimated that it would take at least several thousand years for all the fragments of the true spirit to gather together and for Lingbao Tianzun's consciousness to be reawakened.

this is normal.

How could it be easy for a Celestial Venerable, especially a top-ten powerhouse like Lingbao Celestial Venerable, to return from death?

However, he was not worried.

Because he has now improved the formation, its energy gathering efficiency has increased several times.

Furthermore, he also set up a hidden chaotic barrier around this star field to ensure that no one would interfere with the process.

Next, all you need to do is wait.

Jiang Hao turned around and looked at the three young men behind him.

At this moment, Feng Xi, Xiao Zhanhuang, and Chu Changge had all entered a deep state of enlightenment.

During the operation of the great formation, the flying immortal light, and the reorganization of the Dao patterns, Jiang Hao demonstrated a profound understanding of the origin of the Great Dao, while the Great Dao of Lingbao Tianzun also manifested around the Sendai.

The two supreme Daoist principles intertwine, creating the optimal environment for enlightenment.

The three sat cross-legged, and different strange phenomena appeared around them.

Behind Feng Xi, the phantom of a seven-colored divine phoenix hovered, and seven-colored flames burned and evolved around her, as if proposing a higher level of the Phoenix Path.

The young war emperor's body was filled with golden blood and energy, and a faint phantom appeared behind him.

The Dao light surrounding Chu Changge permeated the air, evolving into the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, and into the rotation of Yin and Yang and the five elements, as well as into the illusory image of the Great Dao.

And in these evolutions, one can still vaguely see the shadow of Lingbao Tianzun's Great Dao of Slaughter.

Those were some profound insights he had gleaned while observing the formation, which he had now integrated into his own Dao.

Jiang Hao looked at the three of them, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This is what a true prodigy should look like.

Not only are they highly talented and quick to understand, but more importantly, they know how to seize every opportunity.

In that situation, most people would have just stood there dumbfounded, but these three immediately entered a state of enlightenment, transforming what they saw and heard into their own inner strength.

This is why he brought the three of them along; since they were descendants of close old friends, he gave them this opportunity.

"Reflect on this carefully," Jiang Hao said softly. "This opportunity will take you a long time to process."

He stopped disturbing the three and began to move around the star field, setting up some follow-up measures.

Time slips away quietly.
