Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 767 - 750: Breaking Boundaries Action!
Ever since Zhou Guangcheng apprenticed under Master Cyan Yang and entered the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, Zhouyang, as a father, seldom stayed beside him for long to guide his cultivation.
This time, Zhouyang took the rare initiative to stay in the Profound Sun Immortal Sect to guide his cultivation, which made him sincerely happy and moved.
In the following five years, with Zhouyang's personal guidance and help, Zhou Guangcheng successfully refined the Flood Dragon Spirit Blood bestowed to him and cultivated the "Azure Dragon Body Refining Technique" to the Fourth Layer.
Moreover, this time Zhouyang used the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to continuously cleanse his body for several years, helping him not only to purify some lingering erysipelas in his body but also to refine all his magical power once over.
During this period, Xiao Ying also visited her lover and son and consulted with Lan Daoist about some alchemy techniques.
At the same time, she brought Zhouyang news that Lu Xuewei had already set off northwards to the Beiting Continent Cultivation Realm.
After five years had passed, and Zhou Guangcheng had successfully cultivated the "Azure Dragon Body Refining Technique" to the Fourth Layer, Zhouyang prepared to return to the Fire Birch Mountain cave mansion to seclude himself and cultivate divine techniques.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Master Cyan Yang suddenly found him and talked about something that greatly piqued his interest.
"Elder Cyan Yang, are you really confident in doing this? From what I know, this breaking into another realm, even for a Tribulation Crossing True Immortal, carries certain risks!"
On the Profound Sun Peak, Zhouyang looked at Master Cyan Yang in surprise, also a little shocked by what he just heard.
This matter indeed had some relation to him.
It turns out that after seven or eight hundred years of preparation, the Profound Sun Immortal Sect planned to forcibly open a spatial passage to the "Dome Heaven Immortal Realm" and re-establish a connection with this "Pocket World."
Back then, a great battle inside the "Dome Heaven Immortal Realm" destroyed all teleportation arrays within the "Pocket World," rendering the external teleportation array to this "Pocket World" useless and completely losing the possibility of entry.
Later, those trapped inside the realm were able to escape because Lu Xuanji used a very rare "Boundary-Breaking Talisman" to break the spatial barrier, safely bringing them out.
At that time, Zhouyang had low cultivation and limited knowledge, only recognizing the "Boundary-Breaking Talisman" that could shatter spatial barriers as extremely precious, not knowing how rare it truly was.
But now it was different, he already knew that such a "Boundary-Breaking Talisman," capable of breaking spatial barriers, required the creator's cultivation to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and extremely rare spatial attribute spiritual objects had to be used as material carriers, with a very low success rate.
It can be said that the preciousness of a "Boundary-Breaking Talisman" is higher than that of a Tier Six Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact, and for someone in urgent need, exchanging it for a Tier Six High-Grade Spiritual Artifact is not impossible.
This time, Profound Sun Immortal Sect's plan was to use the remaining last "Boundary-Breaking Talisman" in the sect's treasure vault, combined with the space waymark left by Lu Xuanji as a guide, accurately break open the spatial barrier of the "Dome Heaven Immortal Realm," and send several array grandmasters inside to re-establish the spatial teleportation arrays to connect with the original arrays outside the realm.
This plan couldn't be completed by the Profound Sun Immortal Sect alone, even if they could, they didn't dare to monopolize such a "Pocket World."
So this time, besides the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, the Yuqing Daoist Sect and Liuyun Immortal City also joined in, and even Master Yujing, a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul "Half-Step True Immortal" cultivator, planned to personally lead people into the "Dome Heaven Immortal Realm."
However, all of this was just a plan, and whether or not it would succeed remained unknown.
"Naturally, there are risks, but compared to the rewards, these risks are worth taking."
"Moreover, this time several families are acting together, Fellow Daoist Yujing and others have made full preparations for the success of this operation, so the chances of success are quite high."
Master Cyan Yang seemed very confident, responding optimistically to Zhouyang's doubts.
Zhouyang, seeing this, asked no more questions and immediately nodded, saying, "Okay, if you seniors think there aren't any issues, I'll agree to help with this, but I wonder when you plan to take action?"
Seeing his agreement, Master Cyan Yang smiled joyfully and immediately replied, "Fellow Daoist Yujing's lifespan is running low, naturally, his idea is to act as fast as possible. Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has agreed to help, this matter can be implemented very soon."
"Then I shall await your good news, Senior."
After getting more detailed information about the plan from Master Cyan Yang, Zhouyang took his leave from the Profound Sun Peak.
When he returned to his son Zhou Guangcheng's independent peak, he sought out Lan Daoist and told him about the matter.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lan Daoist with a solemn expression and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lan, in your opinion, how feasible is Profound Sun Immortal Sect's plan?"
"The plan is feasible; the 'Dome Heaven Immortal Realm' is merely a Pocket World, inherently having a deep connection with this realm. With space waymarks as a guide and the power of the 'Boundary-Breaking Talisman,' opening a temporary passage isn't difficult."
"However, entering the 'Dome Heaven Immortal Realm' is easy, constructing a stable teleportation array inside that connects to the external teleportation array is not easy at all."
"This requires the array masters to have a high level of attainment in array formations and a deep understanding of space laws, capable of manipulating the power of laws to establish a connection between the teleportation arrays on both sides. As for Lan, even if I do it, there's at most a sixty percent success rate!"
Lan Daoist pondered slightly and softly shared his opinion.
After all, he was a puppet clone created by a Celestial Immortal, inheriting much knowledge from his original body, and his understanding of these things was beyond Zhouyang's level.
Zhouyang basically agreed with his assessment.
Immediately, he nodded slightly and said, "I understand, I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lan to accompany me when the time comes."
"I have no objections," replied Lan Daoist.
Thus, Zhouyang patiently waited for Master Cyan Yang's notification.
After waiting for nearly a year, Master Cyan Yang finally visited him personally to inform him that they could set off.
The two of them, along with two other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, set off together to the location where the plan was to be carried out.
After traveling for two months, Zhouyang revisited the place where he, along with Lu Xuanji and others, originally went to the "Dome Heaven Immortal Realm."
By then, people from the Yuqing Daoist Sect and Liuyun Immortal City had also arrived.
As fate would have it, the people who came from both sides were not unfamiliar to Zhouyang.
There were three from the Yuqing Daoist Sect: Master Yujing, Master Jade Dragon, and Master Fufeng.
From Liuyun Immortal City, four people came, led by Situ Jingming, the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul "Half-Step True Immortal" cultivator Zhouyang had met at the "Thousand-Year Dharma Assembly," followed by his old acquaintance, Xu Tianlin, and two other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Thus, including the four from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, there were ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators gathered in one place, including two Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul "Half-Step True Immortal" cultivators.
"So it's really Fellow Daoist Zhou, I knew that old Cyan Yang would invite you to join this matter, and it seems I guessed right."
Seeing Zhouyang arrive with the three members of the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, Master Yujing immediately stroked his beard with a smile, teasing his old ally.
Master Cyan Yang didn't mind being teased. He simply shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master, please don't make fun of us. After Senior Brother Wang's passing, our Profound Sun Immortal Sect couldn't find a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to hold the fort. We had to trouble Fellow Daoist Zhou to come help maintain our dignity, so we wouldn't get bullied by your two factions!"
Indeed, the Profound Sun Immortal Sect's previous late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Wang Lingxiao, who didn't get along well with Zhouyang, had passed away over fifty years ago.
Even with a new Nascent Soul stage cultivator joining later, the Profound Sun Immortal Sect still had five Nascent Soul cultivators, but not a single late-stage one.
Thus, in the large Profound Sun Immortal Sect, the strongest person was instead Zhouyang, the Honored Guest Supreme Elder.
This time, the three factions acted together, and although the distribution of benefits after success was discussed early on, Master Cyan Yang invited Zhouyang to help just in case.
To prevent the other two factions from causing trouble upon seeing there was no late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect.
Zhouyang's cultivation strength and his record of battles place him on par with someone like Xu Tianlin, an eighth-layer Nascent Soul cultivator.
His terrifying potential makes anyone cautious to provoke him or become an enemy easily.
Hearing Master Cyan Yang publicly mention the matter in a half-joking manner, Master Yujing couldn't joke anymore. He smiled apologetically at him and nodded lightly at Zhouyang, indicating his stance.
Having been involved in the attack on the Dragon-Taming Star Feather, Master Yujing naturally understood the powerful influence Zhouyang could wield. He knew it was impossible for him to be an enemy of Zhouyang.
Meanwhile, the Liuyun Immortal City side, with two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, wasn't worried about losing their interests, so they didn't comment on Master Cyan Yang's words.
Situ Jingming only glanced curiously at Zhouyang before rasping, "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's start preparing. You know we can't keep this gathering hidden for long!"
The Dome Heaven Immortal Realm was originally under the control of the major forces of the Liuyun Continent Cultivation Realm but fell out of control after the Heaven-Sundering True Demon turmoil.
Now, the three forces are gathering together to reclaim control over this "Pocket World" without being discovered by other forces before succeeding.
Once they succeed, they have no intention of sharing control of the Pocket World, which they painstakingly reclaim, with any other forces.
Given the strength of the three forces gathered here today, they indeed are capable of safeguarding this achievement against being snatched away.
No one objected. Under Situ Jingming's urging, the three factions immediately formed additional arrays around the area of the teleportation array.
"It's the Five Elements Sky-fixing Array and the Eight Gates Locking Array. The former works with Space Waymarks to fix a space area, ensuring that the Boundary-Breaking Talisman opens to the Dome Heaven Immortal Realm. The latter seals the surrounding area to prevent anyone from disrupting the spatial laws and sabotaging the operation."
"Hmm, I didn't expect they even knew about the Three Talents Sky-Catching Array; this is somewhat beyond Fellow Daoist Lan's expectations. It seems their chance of success this time shouldn't be underestimated."
Lan Daoist was hiding inside the Dongxuan Pearl, sharing the sight and explaining the plans of the three forces through a split soul tethered to Zhouyang.
The cultivation civilization of the Spirit Realm has developed for tens of thousands of years. Whether in cultivation techniques, arrays, or alchemical talismans, there are talented individuals innovating new creations.
But in reality, ninety-nine percent of these new creations by later generations do not reach Tier Six.
Arrays below Tier Six naturally cannot play a significant role in such high-level scenarios.
So the arrays set up by the three forces now remain space-related auxiliary arrays passed down from ancient times, which Lan Daoist could easily identify.
None of the three forces realized that Zhouyang could clearly see their arrangements through Lan Daoist, leaving him unguarded against them.
About half a month later, all three types of space auxiliary arrays were successfully arranged.
"Alright, the arrays are set up. Now it's up to Fellow Daoist Yujing and your group."
As one of the array arrangers, Situ Jingming, after personally checking and testing the performance of the arrays, looked up at Master Yujing and Master Cyan Yang.
"I have brought the Boundary-Breaking Talisman."
Master Cyan Yang raised his hand, took out a jade box, and opened it to reveal a silver-gray spirit talisman inside.
"As for me, successfully refined this Fixed Void Pillar following the technique provided by Fellow Daoist Situ."
A flash of spiritual light flickered in Master Yujing's hand, revealing a peculiar silver-gray rod about two feet long.
Seeing this, Situ Jingming immediately nodded, saying, "Since everyone is ready, let's begin!"
It begins!
Zhouyang braced himself to watch how the three factions would act.
Master Cyan Yang handed both the Boundary-Breaking Talisman and a silver orb artifact to Master Yujing. Then Master Yujing, together with Situ Jingming and a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, entered the Five Elements Sky-fixing Array.
Bang!
As Master Yujing crushed the silver orb artifact in his hand, silver-gray spiritual light shot out, diving into a certain spot of the void.
Master Fufeng, responsible for controlling the Five Elements Sky-fixing Array, upon seeing this, immediately shouted to control the array, releasing a power of five-colored clouds to envelop that spot.
Simultaneously, Master Yujing's Boundary-Breaking Talisman was activated, hitting the spot where the silver-gray light disappeared.
Rumbling!
Amidst the rumbling of the void, the power of the Boundary-Breaking Talisman tore the void apart, revealing a gray-black hole.
"If not enter now, then when?"
With a low shout, Master Yujing grabbed the Nascent Soul cultivator next to him from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect and leapt into the less than ten-foot wide gray-black hole.
Following him, Situ Jingming nodded slightly to Xu Tianlin and the other three Liuyun Immortal City cultivators outside, and then leapt in afterward.
