Chapter 411 The Mutation of the Divine Turtle's True Spirit! Clues to a Special Being!
Spirit array masters hold a very high status in the vast world.
In Chu Yang's view, the most valuable aspect of a spirit array is that it can amplify the power of the array infinitely through spirit seals.
However, in his eyes, many of the formations in the Great Thousand Worlds were rather crude and could not be compared with those in the world of immortals and heroes.
However, with the blessing of the spirit array, the spirit array constructed from these crude formations possesses powerful energy.
Therefore, Chu Yang planned to combine the formations of the Xianxia world with the principles of spirit formations.
Since both a "rough framework" and a "refined interior" can unleash powerful capabilities.
If it is "beautiful on the outside and virtuous on the inside", to what extent will it reach?
However, the most crucial issue lies in the principles of formations in the world of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts).
Combining the two is like solving a math problem; you need to summarize the formulas for both and then substitute them into each other.
However, the formations in the world of immortals and heroes have no "formulas" at all. Chu Yang can only use Pangu to fully analyze them and then try his best to recreate the "simulated formula".
This is a difficult problem for Chu Yang, and it is also a problem for Pan Gu.
As early as when he first entered the Great Thousand World and came into contact with the way of spirit arrays, Chu Yang had already begun to prepare for this matter.
But even now, Pangu is still making his efforts...
Upon hearing Chu Yang's question, Pangu replied, "Some basic formations have been combined with the principles of spirit formations to construct two separate systems."
"One of them is the spirit array system, which is applicable to all spirit array masters."
"The other method is to use the master's source energy as the foundation, and combine the advantages of spirit arrays and formations to maximize the power."
"However, some intermediate and advanced formations still require more time to analyze."
Chu Yang smiled and said, "No rush. Even if you have to slow down, don't make any mistakes."
"Moreover, even a basic formation's power is enough to threaten a Saint-level expert in this vast world!"
Chu Yang doesn't need to specifically cultivate the art of spirit arrays because he possesses Pangu, giving him a significant advantage even compared to powerful spirit array masters.
That means you can form an array instantly without any prior preparation!
It should be noted that even a Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays needs a certain amount of time to set up a Grand Array of Saint Rank, but this time is very short, perhaps only a few breaths.
Chu Yang was different. Pangu could do everything for him. He only needed to condense enough "Source Seals" to activate the great formation.
He and Pangu were originally one, their thoughts were connected, so there was no need to worry about any mistakes.
Pangu, with the help of the computing core and with Chu Yang's permission, could mobilize his power to instantly set up an array.
As Chu Yang's strength continued to grow, the benefits of the Pangu spiritual consciousness, which was transformed from the Bodhi Ancient Tree Spirit, merging with his forehead bone gradually became apparent.
In the world of Xianxia, most of the various formations are more functional, with relatively few purely offensive formations, and almost all of them are advanced formations.
Fortunately, Chu Yang's purpose in researching spirit arrays was not solely for combat.
In the vast world, with his current strength, he doesn't need to rely too much on formations.
Studying spirit arrays is entirely a matter of preparing for the future.
After all, no one knows which world will be the next to connect to the Soul Palace.
If it were some fantastical world with ridiculously high combat power, their current strength would be truly insufficient.
The process of the divine tortoise gathering spiritual energy went smoothly, taking only a little over a month.
However, to Chu Yang's surprise, the Divine Turtle True Spirit did not directly complete its fifth evolution as he had expected, nor did it surpass the other three True Spirits to break through to the sixth level and reach the Saint-grade realm.
The evolution progress bar of the Divine Turtle True Spirit remains at around 70% of the fifth level, without any significant increase.
However, the true spirit of the divine turtle has undergone earth-shattering changes.
The current Divine Turtle Spirit is more like the legendary Xuanwu than a true divine turtle.
The black tortoise body and the jade-white serpent coiled around it seem somewhat incongruous, yet they give one a sense of inextricable connection.
Although the turtle's eyes had become much more lively, clearly indicating the emergence of intelligence, it still gave off a rather dim-witted feeling, reminding Chu Yang of a sled dog known for its good looks but low intelligence.
On the contrary, the serpent's eyes were deep and wise, and its gaze toward Chu Yang was extremely complex.
Goddess of the Luo River!
Although Chu Yang was surprised, he could guess the reason for the change in the Divine Turtle's true spirit.
The combination of the divine tortoise and the remnant soul of the goddess Luo allowed it to successfully gather spiritual energy.
The primordial power of the Luo River source and the supreme sea of the Luo River caused the true spirit of the divine turtle to undergo a fundamental transformation.
This is similar to some kind of genetic mutation, but at least it's developing in a positive direction.
"You lied to me?" A clear, ethereal voice rang out, tinged with a hint of grievance.
Chu Yang blinked, shrugged, and said, "Senior Luo Shen, this is slander!"
"Of the two conditions I previously proposed, I have already fulfilled my promise to resurrect you, and in the future, I will surely annihilate the evil race from beyond the realm."
"So how could I be lying to you?"
The serpent looked down at the divine tortoise, then at its own body. "Is this what you meant by resurrection?"
"Let me be your pet?"
That being said, her tone sounded more like a complaint.
From the moment he completely merged with the divine tortoise's true spirit, whether Luo Shen was willing to admit it or not, Chu Yang became her master, and in an inseparable way.
Because the Four Sacred Spirits were originally a part of Chu Yang, although they have now transformed into physical forms, and three of them even possess intelligence, they still depend on Chu Yang for their existence.
Once Chu Yang falls, they too will vanish into thin air.
It is precisely for this reason that the four sacred spirits all have a kind of closeness and submission to Chu Yang that comes from blood and soul.
Luo Shen sighed and said, "So be it. Now that I've been given a second chance at life, let's say goodbye to everything from the past!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a faint light suddenly emanated from the spirit snake's body, and then its figure transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress.
The woman bowed gracefully to Chu Yang and said, "Master..."
Looking at the goddess Luo on the back of the divine tortoise, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "She truly deserves to be the number one beauty in the Great Immortal Realm!"
Chu Yang stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your situation is rather special, unlike Ao Ting and Huo Ling, you are relatively more independent."
"Moreover, your soul power is very strong, making you more suitable for the path of spirit arrays."
After saying that, he directly instructed Pangu to pass on all kinds of knowledge about spirit arrays, as well as the basic spirit arrays evolved from arrays, to Luo Shen.
"After the fifth evolution is completed, I will separate Ao Ting Fire Spirit from you and me, and let each of us travel in the Great Thousand Worlds."
Chu Yang said softly, "With the Spirit Ascension Technique, you have almost no upper limit to your growth. How far you can evolve depends on your own abilities."
Luo Shen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Regarding the Qilin's true spirit condensing its origin and gathering spiritual energy, perhaps I can be of some help..."
"Oh?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
Since Ao Ting was born, he had realized that if he kept using the Spirit Ascension Technique to make the Four Sacred Spirits evolve, no matter how much they evolved, they would ultimately just be “battle tools” in his hands.
After successfully gathering the spirits, it means that the four sacred spirits will have independent consciousness and autonomous thinking, and will no longer need him to distract him and control them.
As the Origin Martial Body solidified into a physical form, the Four Sacred Spirits became living beings in the truest sense.
But there is still a crucial question: the origin!
The Four Sacred Spirits are part of Chu Yang's body. Even if they successfully gather spiritual energy and transform into physical form, they still need to rely on his power.
In short, what was consumed during the battle was Chu Yang's Origin Qi.
However, at present, only the Qilin True Spirit remains in this stage.
Ao Ting is the product of the fusion of the Divine Dragon's True Spirit and the mutated Nine Profound Golden Thunder. The Nine Profound Golden Thunder became his independent source, so even without relying on Chu Yang's source energy, he has the ability to fight independently.
The Fire Spirit's origin is the Emperor's Flame, while the Goddess of the Luo River's origin is the product of the fusion of the Luo River's origin and her Supreme Sea during her lifetime.
Compared to Huo Ling and Ao Ting, Luo Shen has an additional advantage: soul power.
As a former peak Saint-level expert, even with a new soul formed from her remaining will, her soul power is still very strong, reaching the Immortal-level.
Moreover, unlike her physical body and origin, she can cultivate her soul power independently, making it stronger and stronger.
That's why Chu Yang wanted her to pursue the path of spirit arrays.
Now that the three sacred spirits have all undergone a fundamental transformation, even Chu Yang is at a loss as to how to deal with the Qilin spirit.
The Qilin's true spirit has a high compatibility; many special forces in the world can serve as its origin.
However, Chu Yang has always been a man of quality over quantity, which means he doesn't value weaker forces, and he can't find any that meet his standards.
Luo Shen pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the Immortal Emperor had a fortuitous opportunity when he was young."
"This led him down an unusual path. When he was in the Divine Soul Realm, he did not refine the essence of a spirit beast, but instead used a secret method to nurture a special creature."
"As his cultivation level increased, that being also became stronger."
"In the end, even at the peak of my life, I was no match for that creature."
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, lost in thought, waiting for the next part to continue.
Luo Shen continued, "That being possessed the bloodline power of an immortal emperor, and combined with its own unique characteristics, it became an immortal being."
"However, with the fall of the Immortal Emperor, it also lost all its power, but I am certain that it is still alive!"
"I'm afraid even the Heavenly Evil God wouldn't be able to truly kill it!"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "In that case, it is indeed quite compatible with the true spirit of the Qilin."
"But times have changed now, so you probably don't know where it is anymore, right?"
Luo Shen said confidently, "If the Immortal Emperor has descendants still alive, they will definitely know the whereabouts of that being!"
"Moreover, that being exists in dependence on the Immortal Emperor, much like the relationship between us."
"Therefore, it probably won't be far from the place where the Immortal Emperor fell!"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up. If one were to search for a special being that almost no one had ever heard of in the vast world, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
But now that we have clear clues, things will be much easier.
Summoning his thoughts, Chu Yang smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go meet the Western Heaven War Emperor!"
"With the power of the Western Continent, we should be able to help you complete your fifth evolution in one fell swoop."
It is impossible for the power of a single continent to enable the Four Sacred Spirits to complete an evolution directly.
However, the progress of the fifth level of the Spirit Ascension Technique had already reached 70%, and now it was just one step away from completion.
The Western Continent has accumulated enough power over hundreds of years.
Luo Shen nodded gently, then transformed into a stream of light and directly entered Chu Yang's dantian.
Chu Yang understood her perfectly and knew that Luo Shen did not intend to face future generations in her current form.
However, he speculated that after the Four Sacred Spirits completed their fifth evolution, when they entered the sixth level of the Ascension Technique, they would likely possess the ability to transform into human form.
After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, magical beasts at the Dou Zong level can transform into human form. Although the Four Saint True Spirits are special, it would be quite unreasonable if they couldn't transform even after reaching the Saint Rank level...
Chu Yang left the underground world, but the lake formed by the Supreme Sea of Luoshen still existed, and a part of the source of the Luo River also remained.
However, compared to before, both are much weaker, with most of their power merged into the divine turtle's true spirit.
This was clearly done intentionally by the goddess Luo, in order to leave some blessings for future generations.
Since Chu Yang entered Luohe, Luo Qingyun has been keeping a close eye on the situation there.
He happened to be guarding his daughter at the city gate at all times, so it was a win-win situation.
He took Chu Yang's words to heart because he was now certain that the young powerhouse was likely an even stronger being than the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
Such a person's every word and action is purposeful.
Since Chu Yang said that his entry into the Luo River might damage the river's source, Luo Qingyun was naturally a little nervous.
However, more than a month has passed, and the Luo River remains calm and peaceful, without any abnormalities, which makes him breathe a little easier.
However, an incident that occurred three days ago has caused him to worry once again.
The Luoshen Festival!
Every member of the Luoshen clan who performs the Luoshen Festival will experience various unusual phenomena in the Luo River if they successfully resonate with it.
In a sense, these images can be considered an assessment of the talents of these descendants by the ancestral goddess Luo.
Three days ago, when a young member of the royal family performed the Luoshen Festival, the Luo River displayed strange phenomena, but those phenomena were extremely illusory, as if they were about to give way.
This was something that had never happened before, and Luo Qingyun knew very well that it had nothing to do with that junior, but rather that Luo He had a problem!
This made him think of Chu Yang, and he began to feel nervous.
Standing on the banks of the Luo River, Luo Qingyun looked at the river surface, which was as dazzling as a starry sky, and felt a little troubled.
Although he had prepared for the worst, he was still worried that if something serious happened to Luohe, and it even prevented the completion of the Luoshen Sacrifice in the future, what would become of their Luoshen clan?
Just then, the water suddenly parted, and a figure emerged from the waves as if strolling leisurely.
Their eyes met, and Luo Qingyun was slightly taken aback before quickly bowing and saying, "Young friend... what a coincidence..."
He spoke with such righteous indignation, telling others to go ahead and do whatever they wanted, but then he himself became anxious and spent his days checking on the Luo River.
Now that Chu Yang had caught him red-handed, Luo Qingyun was truly embarrassed… (End of Chapter)
