Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1221 - 540: Entering the Great Array, the Stellar Chessboard
"...In the first year of the Immortal Court, Taiyi Xuanshu Master Zhang Wuyi achieved Dao through the Heavenly Inference Array Plate, and the Jiushan Sect celebrated for three days..."
"...The Heavenly Inference Array Plate is one of the foundational infrastructures of the Immortal Court, widely used in the Immortal Court, the Underworld, and even across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. According to the laws of the Immortal Court, the Heavenly Inference Array Plates of non-confidential public institutions must ensure algorithm transparency and result openness. Any algorithm modification needs to be reviewed by a general assembly..."

"Master Zheng, why are you laughing?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
In the Xuan Tai of Jade Mansion, Lord Nichang looked at Zheng Fa, puzzled.
"Senior Sister... Oh, Master Zhang Wuyi from my Jiushan Sect has attained Dao and achieved the Dao Fruit."
"Master Zhang has attained Dao? Congratulations, Master Zheng." Lord Nichang first offered her congratulations with a smile, then appeared to remember something and asked in surprise, "I recall Master Zhang isn’t very old, right?"
"Hmm, not yet three hundred years old."
"This..." Lord Nichang was stunned. "To achieve Dao as an Independent Immortal in just three hundred years? Apart from you, Master Zheng, does Jiushan Sect have such a genius?"
Zheng Fa smiled slightly and explained, "My cultivation speed is fast due to various fortuitous encounters... but conversely, I also spent considerable time creating the ’Yellow Court Scripture’ and other cultivation methods."
"Other members of my Jiushan Sect can refer to the ’Yellow Court Scripture.’ Even if their encounters are not as profound as mine, as long as they have enough talent, they won’t be too slow. If they have some encounters, they might be even faster."
"Actually, each generation should surpass the previous. It’s only natural for successors to be better than their predecessors."
Such a statement sounded reasonable, yet to Lord Nichang, it was unheard of, leaving her silent for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Fa spoke again, "Actually, if you were from my Jiushan Sect, you wouldn’t be too slow either, Primordial Monarch."
He would not underestimate the Primordial Monarch or any cultivators with accomplishments in the four sect systems—though there may be differences in knowledge concepts, their mental aptitude and talent are selected elites from several epochs—hence, his words were incredibly sincere.
"Enough." Lord Nichang waved her hands repeatedly, eager to block her ears, and said, "Can we find Lady Water Mother now?"
"Apologies for keeping you waiting, Primordial Monarch."
Lord Nichang was considerate. He originally planned to set off after the general assembly of Jiushan Sect, but had to wait longer because Senior Sister Zhang was going to attain Dao. Though Lord Nichang was anxious, she did not press him.
Now that Senior Sister had successfully achieved Dao as an Independent Immortal, he could finally explore the All Heaven Stars Formation with peace of mind.
Lord Nichang picked up the token, took a glance at Zheng Fa, took a deep breath, and infused it with immortal power.
A beam of white light shot out from the front of the token, enveloping Lord Nichang. Zheng Fa watched as Lord Nichang’s body, like a snowman under the blazing sun, gradually melted from head to toe.
Moments later, Lord Nichang’s figure disappeared.
Zheng Fa waited for a while, but the Creation Jade Disc did not transmit any message, causing him to sigh inwardly—they’d already agreed that once Lord Nichang entered the All Heaven Stars Formation, she would send a spirit letter to assure him she was safe. But now, as she remained silent, either the spirit letter communication was cut off, or something unexpected happened.
After waiting for a while without any news from Lord Nichang, he did not hesitate further and reached out for the token.
Zheng Fa had never been to an amusement park before. In his early years, he couldn’t afford it in the modern world, and later, with enough money, he practiced martial arts and cultivated immortality. Those thrilling amusement facilities didn’t excite him much, which he somewhat regretted.
But now, he had no regrets.
Upon touching the token, Zheng Fa felt as if he’d first swayed on a pirate ship for two hours, then leaped onto a roller coaster, riding it up and down. He dashed off a cliff and was flung out by the roller coaster, soaring to the sky and thousands of miles in the air, beginning a skydive.
When his feet finally touched the ground, he regained his senses and looked around.
"Master Zheng, are you alright?"
Lord Nichang asked with concern.
Turning his head, Zheng Fa found himself seemingly on an artificial planet.
The reason for calling it an artificial planet was, firstly, because it was noticeably small, and indeed Zheng Fa’s Immortal Sense seemed to encompass nearly half of the planet.
Additionally, the surface of the planet was flowing with countless runes, which were familiar to Zheng Fa. He had seen them in Lady Water Mother’s secluded meditation chamber.
He immediately confirmed that he had indeed entered the All Heaven Stars Formation, and this planet was probably a part of the All Heaven Stars.
Looking around, everything was pitch black. He could no longer see the Xuanwei Realm, nor could he connect with the Creation Jade Disc within the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Or rather, they had already drifted away from any civilization of the Immortal Dao.
He glanced down at himself and then carefully studied those runes, suddenly finding himself interested.
"Primordial Monarch, do you know how far we are from Xuanwei?"
"I don’t know," Lord Nichang shook her head, "actually, even Golden Immortals do not easily venture through the Chaos at normal times, for it’s easy to lose direction. In this sense, distance in Chaos is meaningless."
This statement was quite true, as measurement was indeed a mathematical nature.
"That being said, this All Heaven Stars Formation must at least have the power of teleportation."
Zheng Fa’s eyes were full of exploration.
He had originally entered the All Heaven Stars Formation to find Lady Water Mother and return to Xuanwei, hoping to perhaps catch a glimpse of the Taiyin Laurel Tree along the way.
Yet this great formation unexpectedly gave him a small surprise.
Xuanwei had no teleportation array, so encountering one here was unexpected.
Or rather, the All Heaven Stars Formation appeared to be a method of transportation that could traverse the Chaos.
Just this facet alone made the All Heaven Stars Formation highly valuable for research, and even if they couldn’t find Lady Water Mother, there was a possibility they might still find their way back.
