The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

Chapter 220: Demon-killing Treasure and the Three God-killing Formations

It was not known whether Liu Bai’s prayers were really heard by the ancestor, but soon he arrived at one of the three main halls. Judging from the remaining parts of the hall above, it was the residence of Emperor Shenlian, one of the Three Emperors.

"I actually found the home of the ancestor. I wonder if the ancestor left any inheritance for the younger generations." Liu Bai thought with a chuckle.

Judging from the place where Emperor Tianzhen fell, the three emperors at that time should have all participated in resisting the invasion of the evil race from outside the domain. The Northern Realm served as the bridgehead for the invasion of the evil race from outside the domain at that time. In addition to the second hall master of the ancient heavenly palace, many strong men gathered here to resist the enemy.

The three emperors of the Three Emperors Sect might not be considered the top ones in terms of their individual strength at that time, but when faced with such a large-scale war, no matter they were battle formation masters or spirit formation masters, the power they could exert was not what their own realm could represent.

As for the Shenlian Emperor, who is the founder, he should also provide some logistical support in refining equipment in the rear, so it is very likely that the Three Emperors are not in the Three Emperors Sect.

Entering the palace, everything around was quiet.

In fact, Liu Bai had already discovered that this relic had no life at all, not even a corpse. This meant that everyone here had left long before it declined, and the war did not seem to have affected here.

What made Liu Bai a little curious was how these buildings became what they are now...

Without any obstruction, Liu Bai quickly found the special refining room in the palace.

On this ancient-looking stone gate, there was a line of words engraved: Only disciples of the Divine Refining Sect can enter!

The corner of Liu Bai's eyes twitched. It seemed that this Divine Refining Emperor was not a magnanimous person. He was so prejudiced against his own factions that he only allowed his descendants who practiced the Divine Refining Method to enter.

The Divine Refining Method is a special refining technique that mainly relies on the power of the soul, so it is very simple to prove. One only needs to use the special soul control technique of the Divine Refining Method practitioners to open the stone door in front of him.

"But this has been developed for tens of thousands of years. I don't know whether the ancestors still approve of the current divine alchemy..."

While thinking in his mind, Liu Bai relied on the special techniques in his divine refining method to check the stone door. Soon, with a roar, the stone door was opened.

There were not as many treasures as imagined. There was nothing in the stone chamber except a stone platform.

Liu Bai was very familiar with this stone platform. There was also one in Elder Chihuo's refining room. It was the place where the refiner placed the refining cauldron.

Although the stone platform here is larger and has some complex array patterns engraved on it, the refining cauldron that was supposed to be placed on it is missing. It was obviously taken away by the Divine Refining Emperor.

Opposite the stone platform, there is a stone table with three items on it. These are the only treasures in the entire refining room that could be left by the Divine Refining Emperor for future generations.

Liu Bai walked forward and looked at the three ancient stone boxes, each one foot square. They did not have any spiritual aura and looked ordinary.

Picking up the first stone box, Liu Bai opened it. In an instant, a stream of light flew out from the stone box, as if trying to escape.

Fortunately, Liu Bai reacted quickly. He raised his hand and a ray of colorful light came out, which directly covered the flowing light and then pulled it back into his hand.

It turned out to be a scroll of silk made of unknown material...

Liu Bai was very surprised. This kind of thing was usually kept for record keeping purposes and was only popular before ancient times. Later, everyone used scrolls or jade slips, and this kind of silk book was gradually eliminated.

When Liu Bai received the silk book, there was no prompt sound, which meant that the system did not recognize the content recorded on it as a skill, so he needed to check it himself.

"Hey, there are actually some extensions of the divine refining method and some conjectures on refining artifacts..."

In today's world, although there are holy objects and peerless holy objects above divine objects, if we simply talk about refining objects, the top-grade divine objects are already the pinnacle of refining objects.

Holy objects and peerless holy objects often contain some kind of great power in this world, which requires a truly strong person to bestow, or the growth of the artifact itself. This cannot be achieved by refining the artifact.

In fact, 50% of the mainstream holy objects in the world today are handed down from ancient times, and the remaining 20% ​​are those that have been promoted in the last thousand years. In addition, there are also powerful and intelligent artifacts that have been promoted autonomously.

Just like the Ling Jue Temple in Beicang Lingyuan, its intelligence already has the ability to communicate with humans. If it can be supplied with sufficient energy, then after thousands or tens of thousands of years, it may be able to be promoted to a holy object on its own.

This silk book records the Emperor Shenlian's speculations on how to help the divine weapon become a holy object more quickly.

Moreover, the items in the other two stone boxes were recorded in this silk book. They were the two supreme artifacts that the Divine Refining Emperor left behind to verify his conjecture...

Of course, if the Shen Lianhuang’s conjecture is correct, these two artifacts should have been promoted to holy objects by now, or at least to a quasi-holy object level.

"Doesn't that mean I now have two treasures that could be holy relics?"

Liu Bai's eyes lit up and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

From the information on the silk book, we know that one of the two artifacts is the Demon-avoiding Shuttle, an object shaped like a date pit with pointed ends. This object can induce the user to forcibly tear space apart and escape far away from space. It is considered an invaluable treasure for escaping.

As the name suggests, this thing was specially made by the Divine Refining Emperor to help him escape from the pursuit of the demons. At that time, he refined a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one divine shuttles. He kept one as a test product to verify his conjecture, and gave the rest to the strong men of the Three Emperors Sect for protection.

It was obvious that the Emperor Shenlian had already seen the danger of this war and had prepared as many life-saving items as possible for everyone. But if a battle really reached that level, where could one escape to?

As for the other item, it was also a top-grade divine weapon that the Divine Refining Emperor prepared specifically to resist the invasion of the evil race from outside the domain. However, it was not an escape weapon, but an enemy-killing weapon, called the Demon-Slaying Divine Crossbow...

Its appearance is a small cylindrical object, which contains forty-nine crossbow arrows specially used to kill demon souls. It is controlled by divine thoughts and can attack by surprise, kill a single enemy, or release all the crossbow arrows at once.

As long as the crossbow arrows hit, even the demon king would be completely annihilated by the demon-killing power of the crossbow arrows. The more arrows hit, the faster the death. If forty-nine crossbow arrows hit at the same time, even the top demon king would fall.

Unfortunately, the most important thing about this thing is actually the crossbow arrows. When the forty-nine crossbow arrows are used up, although they can be replaced with other crossbow arrows, they will lose their ability to kill the demons. This is a small flaw.

However, this silk book also records the materials and methods of making those demon-killing crossbows. If Liu Bai can collect them all, with his ability, he may be able to replicate them in the future.

"Of the three treasures, except for this silk book, the remaining two are prepared to fight against the evil tribes from outside the domain." Liu Bai sighed in his heart.

It can be seen how much pressure the evil tribes from outside the domain put on the Tianluo Continent at that time!

"It seems that if I don't kill a few more evil tribes from outside the domain in the future, I will be unworthy of these treasures left by the ancestors..."

Liu Bai's expression turned somewhat fierce.

I just don't know if killing the evil creatures from outside the domain can increase my experience points. If so, then things would be simple. I'm just killing monsters anyway, so it would be even more convenient to deal with those evil creatures from outside the domain. I won't give people the impression of being a murderer, but instead I'll become a hero in the world.

"Well, in that case, you can consider joining the Daqian Palace and becoming a demon slayer in the future."

It's all about maximizing benefits. It would be even better if we could find another occupied lower plane like the White Dragon Continent.

He was not in a hurry to open the other two stone boxes, because according to the experience in the silk book, the Demon-avoiding Shuttle and the Demon-destroying Crossbow in the stone boxes would want to escape after being freed from their restraints.

Unlike the silk book, a non-aggressive recording object, these two items have their own special abilities. It would be tragic if you release them and find that you cannot defeat them or keep them.

Anyway, Liu Bai couldn't afford such powerful treasures at this stage. He estimated that the consumption of activating them once would drain all his spiritual power, so Liu Bai had no intention of releasing them.

After putting away the things and making sure there was nothing special around, Liu Bai bowed respectfully in the direction of the stone table and then left the stone chamber.

Just as Liu Bai turned around, he suddenly saw a fist-sized stone ball embedded in the stone gate.

He raised his eyebrows. Although the stone ball looked ordinary, he had previous experience and read so many novels in his previous life, so he finally decided to take it down...

"I hope Grandmaster will not blame me. After all, you didn't leave any images of your true spirit. I can only kill the wrong person and not let him go..."

Just when Liu Bai dug out the stone ball, he vaguely felt that he heard a sigh, but after finding that there was no change, he gave up and left with the stone ball.

After Liu Bai left, the entire stone chamber fell into silence again.

After leaving the Divine Refining Palace, Liu Baima did not stop. Following the guidance of the map, he gave up other miscellaneous places and headed straight for the Spirit Array Palace of the Spirit Array Emperor.

Judging from the experience in the Divine Refining Hall, the real good things in this relic should be in the Three Emperors Hall. The other places are just small things and will be discussed later.

A moment later, Liu Bai arrived at the mountain where the Spirit Array Hall was located. He entered without any obstruction as usual, and then encountered the only room isolated by the large formation - the Spirit Array Room!

Obviously, certain conditions must still be met in order to enter.

However, unlike the "stinginess" of the Divine Refining Emperor, the Spiritual Array Emperor did not stipulate that only disciples of his own lineage could enter. It was only necessary for the disciples to have a sufficient level of array realm.

Originally Liu Bai thought that he would have to sit there for several months like he did before at the stone wall to solve the formation. Unexpectedly, this time, as soon as his mind's eyes emerged, the large formation blocking the outside of the spirit formation room in front of him disappeared like a bubble.

"This... what's going on?"

Liu Bai was speechless. Could it be that the formation had failed at this moment?

But that shouldn't be the case... The only explanation is that the formation sensed the aura of my true mind and thus determined my formation realm, which met the requirements, so it took the initiative to dissolve it.

Frowning, although a little confused, Liu Bai still entered the spirit array room.

This place is not as empty as the previous refining room. It can even be said that the things here are too crowded...

Bookshelves were laid out on all four walls of the room, and they were filled with scrolls.

Because of the isolation of the formation, Liu Bai is not sure what these scrolls are for the time being, but judging from the levels clearly marked on the sides, they are most likely scrolls of formation diagrams!

Liu Bai's eyes twitched, and he felt that his expression must be a little distorted.

If my guess is true, then the formation diagram here will be the largest treasure trove in this relic!

"My heartbeat is a little faster, what should I do... Looking at the scale, the total number of formation diagrams here is probably more than a thousand." Liu Bai took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Compared to that so-called "ancestor", this Spirit Array Emperor is much more generous!

In the center of the room, there is an ordinary wooden table and a brown wooden chair behind the table. It seems to be the place where the Spirit Array Emperor usually studies the array.

There was a book covered in animal skin on the wooden table, and Liu Bai picked it up.

"General outline of the formation diagram. There are 1,386 volumes of spiritual formations of various levels, including 26 types of four categories: trapping, killing, defending, and illusion..."

Liu Bai's eyes lit up as he read the contents of the animal skin book.

"It turns out to be a catalog of all the formation diagrams in this room..."

This is great. With it, Liu Bai no longer has to look up the specific information of those formation diagrams one by one. He can easily find the formation diagram he needs by looking at the formation name and brief introduction recorded in the book, and then study it.

More than 1,300 volumes of formation diagrams, this should be the collection of the Spiritual Formation Emperor throughout his life...

"It's just that the highest level of formation here is only the high-level Grandmaster spiritual formation. There is no grandmaster-level spiritual formation above that. This is really a pity."

But there is no way, after all, the Spirit Array Emperor himself is not a grandmaster-level spirit array master, so it is naturally impossible for him to possess a spirit array of that level.

Liu Bai flipped through it briefly and found that there was actually a name he was familiar with.

It was like a complete version of the God-Slaying Formation, and a still-incomplete Soul-Falling Formation...

The former complements the latter two arrays, the God-Slaying Array and the God-Destroying Array. The three arrays combined into a mid-level Grandmaster Spiritual Array, powerful enough to kill the upper-level Supreme Beings.

However, Liu Bai is currently unable to set up a complete Grandmaster spiritual formation, so he can only use these three formations separately.

But even so, the God-Slaying Formation is of intermediate heavenly grade, and the God-Destroying Formation has even reached advanced heavenly grade. It is definitely the most powerful spiritual formation that Liu Bai can set up now.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 221 Battle Array Master!

The Soul-Falling Formation was a very special and ancient formation, even older and more terrifying than the Three God-Slaying Formations.

According to the records in the animal skin book, this was a high-level master spirit formation created by Yao Bin, one of the ten elders of the Formation Sect and a good friend of the Spirit Formation Emperor. It was extremely powerful. The two of them had discussed some of the arrangements and ideas about the Soul-Falling Formation together, so the Spirit Formation Emperor had the fragments of this formation.

As for the Zhen Sect, it was the largest formation sect in ancient times. During its peak period, the sect had two grandmasters and ten elders, known as the Ten Heavenly Lords. Each of them mastered a high-level grandmaster spirit formation. When the ten formations were combined into one, they could form the Ten Absolute Spaces, with a power comparable to that of a grandmaster spirit formation.

There were only a few words about this Zhenzong and the Ten Heavenly Lords in the animal skin book, but Liu Bai was very excited. If he could find the ruins of this Zhenzong, wouldn't his own Grandmaster Spiritual Array have a chance?

Of course, even without the grandmaster's spiritual formation, these ten formations are still pretty good.

Unfortunately, it is too early to say this now, because even if the ruins of the Zhenzong were placed in front of him, he might not be able to enter, so it is better to wait until his cultivation is sufficient.

Looking at the bookshelves covering the wall and the formation diagram on it, Liu Bai fell into deep thought.

These things are definitely useful, but they are protected by a formation. If you want to take them away, you can only break the formation.

This is not a big deal. At most I just need to spend more time to break these formations.

But Liu Bai now has an idea, that is, can he take this spirit formation room out with him...

"Forget it, let's go to Emperor Tianzhen's territory first to see what we can gain. If there is really no other way, then we can only break the formation."

Liu Bai pondered for a long time and made a decision.

Anyway, I'm alone here, so I can get it anytime and there's no need to rush.

When turning around to leave, he also saw a stone ball embedded in the stone wall above the door of the spirit array room.

Without hesitation, Liu Bai directly dug out the second stone ball.

Since I've already done it the first time, it will be much easier the second time.

The Tianzhen Emperor Hall is completely different from the other two halls. It is simply a huge martial arts arena built inside the hall, and in the middle of the arena stands a large army of terracotta warriors with surging fighting spirit.

It was not the real military formation that was sealed or petrified in the original book. Liu Bai was sure that all the soldiers here were made of real earth and stone and had no life.

The reason why this group of "Terracotta Warriors" possess such a terrifying and powerful fighting spirit is that they must have been nurtured with fighting spirit for many years, and coupled with the war patterns engraved on their bodies, they have such performance.

"These guys, they won't attack me..."

Liu Bai looked at all this and suddenly thought of it.

But before he could finish this thought, he suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation of fighting spirit. He could even see the fighting spirit beginning to gather above the heads of these earth and stone warriors.

"Oh my god! Are you really coming?"

Liu Bai was startled and stepped back.

However, although the fighting spirit was boiling and majestic, it had no one to guide it and could not be condensed, so his worries were just scaring himself.

However, this surge of fighting spirit seemed to have triggered some special conditions. On the empty throne that was originally located above the military formation, a figure slowly took shape, accompanied by a gathering of fighting spirit.
