Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

"How could someone as meticulous as me forget my phone?"

As Zheng Lei spoke, he took his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the verification code.

There are a total of 108 characters, including letters and numbers.

Even a Golden Core Ancestor could only manage such a long verification code. If an ordinary person were in his shoes, they would be completely stumped by it. However, Zheng Lei didn't care at all and directly used his divine sense to input the verification code into the Spirit Pivot Instrument.

The whole process was incredibly easy!

Soon, the treasure was activated, and a beam of light as thick as a child's arm shot straight into the sky, instantly completing the dual calibration of quantum and spiritual power with the satellite.

Uh...

It was as if a strong wind had swept by, and a desolate sound entered my ears.

The ground began to tremble slightly.

Everyone was startled. Could it be an earthquake?

But soon they realized they were terribly wrong; the trembling of the ground was not a disaster, but rather a platform slowly rising from the depths of the earth.

"By the way, the instructor just mentioned that the Immortal Alliance had already set up a multi-dimensional barrier-breaking spirit array in this place, but it was disguised to make it look like an ordinary wasteland. So now..."

Among the students, some quickly realized what was happening, and everyone's expression was one of shock.

Before long, the entire platform was fully revealed to everyone. It was circular, with a diameter of over a hundred feet, and extremely spacious.

The material of the platform is hard to describe. At first glance, it looks like metal, but upon closer inspection, it seems to have many differences from ordinary alloys.

The surface of the platform is covered with silver-white spiritual patterns, crisscrossing like star trails in the sky, and along its edge stand thirty-six dark blue stone pillars.

The stone pillar was tens of feet tall. It was clearly a creation of immortal cultivators, but at its top was something that looked like something out of science fiction. I don’t know what kind of instrument it was, but the indicator lights on it were flashing, as if it was sending a message to a satellite.

At the center of the formation, there was an even taller main pillar, with electric arcs swirling around its surface, and the electric light vaguely resembled a phoenix.

Mysterious and extraordinary, beautiful and elegant!

Although they knew that breaking through the void was no small feat, the students couldn't help but gasp in amazement at the grand scale of the event, and whispers filled the air.

"Is this the legendary multi-dimensional barrier-breaking spirit array?"

"Indeed, remarkably skilled!"

"I've heard that setting up such an array requires at least thirty-six Nascent Soul elders who have obtained the 'PhD in Spirit Array Quantum'. What merit do we, a mere group of college students, have to trouble so many seniors?"

"You're overthinking it. Don't get carried away. This multidimensional barrier-breaking spirit array can be recycled and reused. It wasn't set up specifically for us," someone nearby scoffed.

"Ah, that's true." The person was slightly embarrassed after being proven wrong, but didn't seem to care much.

……

Most of the students, however, did not join in the discussion, but instead stared blankly at the scene before them.

Originally, everyone who embarked on the path of cultivation was somewhat unwilling. After all, compared to a life of lying around and doing nothing, having a full three hundred years of lifespan to squander seemed like the path of cultivation was far too arduous.

Especially since their aptitude isn't particularly outstanding, if they can't condense a golden core and lose the qualification for gene modification, they'll suffer a huge loss in terms of lifespan alone.

However, at this moment, looking at the multidimensional barrier-breaking spirit array before him, so magnificent, so grand, so mysterious, this was something that only cultivators could create.

For some reason, the students' hearts were suddenly opened up, and their original resentment and disappointment vanished.

"If one day I could become a Nascent Soul cultivator, or even go further..."

With this in mind, the students were bursting with motivation, and they were no longer so nervous and apprehensive about the upcoming trials, but rather had a strange sense of anticipation.

"We will create our own future!"

As I was thinking this, rays of light suddenly appeared above my head.

The light came from the Star Hub satellites. There were seven satellites in total, forming the shape of the Big Dipper, and each satellite emitted a beam of light as thick as a bucket.

Uh...

As if in response, the array beneath their feet also began to operate. The silver-white spirit patterns engraved on the array base were ignited one by one, and all thirty-six dark blue stone pillars emitted rumbling sounds. Finally, the tallest main pillar at the center of the array suddenly became extremely bright.

A rumbling, buzzing sound kept reaching their ears. After a while, the main pillar at the center of the formation suddenly rose more than ten feet.

Then a crack appeared at the base of the column.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread wildly like a spider web, quickly covering the entire surface of the pillar.

"this……"

The students all looked surprised.

"Wasn't it said that this multi-dimensional barrier-breaking spirit array could be reused and recycled? How come..."

Before the thought had even crossed my mind, the scene before my eyes changed again.

crackling sounds...

As thunder roared in their ears, countless blue lightning bolts appeared before their eyes. In the blink of an eye, they filled all the dense cracks on the surface of the main pillar. The crackling sound of electricity made the heavens and earth tremble.

The crowd looked dazed, as if what they were seeing was no longer an ancient formation, but a towering ultra-high voltage energy tower.

At the base of this energy tower, the mysterious runes were also illuminated by the electric current, beginning to rotate and surge, forming a strange resonance. They infused their own spiritual power into the electric light, rapidly merging with it...

About five minutes later, a loud phoenix cry resounded throughout the area, and countless electric currents began to converge in the center. What appeared before our eyes was no longer ordinary light and lightning, but energy that had been condensed to the extreme.

Then, a beautiful phoenix was born from that energy.

It is incredibly lifelike and exceptionally luxurious.

Amidst the clear chirping, the phoenix spread its wings, each feather composed of leaping electric sparks. Its tail unfurled, and currents and sparks splashed in the void, turning the entire sky a deep blue.

"this……"

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"

"Could this be the legendary king of birds?"

……

The students watching were amazed. Of course, some people had rather unusual thought processes. For example, Zhou Ran asked a profound question.

"Ah Xuan, I've heard that demonic beasts can transform into human form. Do you think this phoenix, when it transforms into human form, is male or female?"

"If a girl wearing a colorful electric suit were to be both powerful and beautiful, that would be amazing. If she were to be my girlfriend, then who would dare to mess with me? A single bolt of lightning would send them soaring into the sky."

Zhou Ran got more and more carried away as he talked, and before he knew it, his mouth was practically splitting into a wide grin. He grabbed his friend's arm and yanked hard.
