Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Such powerful fluctuations of star energy, I never expected Extreme Bliss Immortal City to be so full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

In a dim, lightless space, a voice of astonishment suddenly resounded.

However, the voice had traveled less than a thousand feet before being devoured by the boundless silence, causing an eerie chill to the heart.

Following the sound,

the speaker was none other than Shiyi, one of the five Pure Yang beings.

At this moment, within his calm and indifferent pupils, there was a barely discernible flicker of unease.

Obviously, everything happening now had once again exceeded his expectations.

You should know that, before entering Bliss Fairy Island, his sole concern was actually this: once they got the Opening God Seal, how the five forces should share it had been a matter of concern, and for this, San Wangwen had even prepared some countermeasures.

He believed that the individuals from the other four forces undoubtedly felt the same.

However, reality swiftly informed him that he had oversimplified things.

Among those insects whose strength peaked at the Feathering stage, there actually lurked beings that could threaten Pure Yang existences—it was almost unbelievable when said aloud!

What was more outrageous was that there were not one, but two of them!

Yes, he was very clear that the being currently using that star formation to trap them, five True Immortals of Pure Yang, and the earlier one wielding the pure white Immortal Sword, ferociously uncharacteristic, were definitely not the same person.

"To run into two such monsters in such a short time, what 'good fortune'!"

Shiyi thought darkly, as an odd expression involuntarily surfaced on his rigid, icy face.

At the same time, his Mind began to involuntarily tense up.

Having just witnessed Bai Yuzi's terrifying methods, as the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes. Shiyi was not about to underestimate this Formation whose reality was unknown.

While he was contemplating,

a brilliant burst of starlight suddenly appeared, instantly illuminating the endless desolate void. Accompanying it was an all-encompassing cold and murderous aura.

That was—

After getting a clear look, Shiyi's eyes uncontrollably trembled.

Behind the dazzling starlight, a majestic and vast shadow of an Ancient Star was slowly becoming more solid.

The star was immense, bathed in blood-light, and enveloped in an intense cold murderous intent that seemed too thick to disperse.

After a brief contemplation, Shiyi guessed the origin of this star's shadow. The reason was simply that its characteristics were too obvious.

He couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"What kind of Array is this that can summon the projection of the Ancient Seven Murderous Stars?"

Boom—

No sooner had the projection of the Murderous Star fully solidified than it charged with an overwhelming momentum, heading straight for Shiyi.

Witnessing this heart-stopping scene,

Shiyi's pupils constricted, and he instinctively wanted to dodge. But then, to his surprise, he found that the space around him had become as viscous as a mud swamp, making it hard to move even an inch.

Knowing escape was futile,

Shiyi had to give up and slowly raised his head, his pitch-black pupils reflecting the malevolent star that had already arrived before him.

In the face of the terrible killing intent that surged all around him, even as a True Immortal of Pure Yang, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, a profound sense of danger immediately pervading every corner of his being.

The divine soul of Pure Yang began to issue frantic warnings!

The might of this strike was even three parts stronger than that of Bai Yuzi's pure white Immortal Sword, which he had previously encountered.

"Impressive tactics!"

...

...

At the same time,

the situation faced by the other four True Immortals of Pure Yang within the Minor Celestial Formation was no better than Shiyi's.

The hunched old man exerted all his strength to wield his divine metal smoking pipe, spewing out vast swaths of immortal flames, his expression quite distressed.

The shadowy being emitted copious amounts of mist, within which cold figures surged like tides and desperately positioned themselves directly in front.

And under the terrifying threat of the star's shadow, the Pure Yang being that typically took the form of eyes now had to reveal its true body, and it turned out to be a thousand-mile-long, mountain-like black serpent with countless eyes.

On the other side.

Fixated on the approaching vast array of stars, the giant in golden armor swallowed the void before roaring loudly, his frame instantly began to grow rapidly. In just an instant, he had become as large as the star arriving before him.

Then.

"Roar! Bring it on!"

He let out an excited roar as two sturdy hands reached out slowly from an incomprehensible height, ready to clash head-on, grabbing hold of the majestic star that carried the momentum of countless great forces.

In the blink of an eye, the arms resembling pillars that could hold up the sky bulged with veins, emitting ten thousand rays of bright immortal light. Inside, an endless flow of immortal power housing boundless Dao pulsed, providing the giant in golden armor with a ceaseless supply of tremendous strength capable of carrying the world.

Hum——

As soon as contact was made, transparent, distorted ripples slowly rippled out in all directions, and the wild force almost tore a hole in the Minor Celestial Stars Array.

For a moment, the formation, which had been as stable as a mountain, began to tremble nonstop due to the fierce collision between the giant in golden armor and the phantom of the Ancient Stars.

In the center of the formation.

Three figures with Ziwu star banners atop their heads sat cross-legged, their faces showing neither joy nor sorrow.

In an instant.

As if sensing something, Qingyun's Dao body slowly opened his eyes, his gaze penetrating through layers of array space, landing directly on the golden giant, now as vast as the stars.

"This fellow is incredibly overbearing!"

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, before he uttered a word of admiration.

As his voice faded.

Following suit, the Causal Dao body opened his eyes and looked towards the giant in golden armor, then shook his head with a somewhat regrettable tone, saying,

"Indeed. This Minor Celestial Stars Array brings together the power of 13,273 beings from the Immortal City who are on the Combining Dao, including Feathering beings. Yet it nearly got torn open by this brute."

"The realm of Pure Yang is indeed terrifying."

After a pause, he continued, "If we could capture him to guard our home, patch things up, wouldn't he be more useful than those Heavenly Craft spirits? Alas, it's a pity——"

The Causal Dao body stopped short.

"Fellow Daoists," the Dao body of Hei Shui chimed in from the side, with a hint of concern in his voice. "If we let this brute have his way, there might be problems with the operation of the Minor Celestial Stars Array. Moreover, the four True Immortals of Pure Yang will certainly seize the chance to escape, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Don't worry, we still have helpers, don't we?"

The Causal Dao body said with a slight smile, assuring in a gentle voice.

As he spoke, he unconsciously looked in another direction, spotting two figures, one large and one small, frantically weaving through the array space.

...

...

"Brother, stop wasting your effort."

A soft voice came from beside him, causing Bai Yuzi to halt in his tracks.

He looked down and smilingly asked, "Oh, do you understand this mystical star array, Little Five?"

Upon hearing this.

The girl in a white dress with her hair tied up in buns, whom he was tightly holding, first shook her head, then quickly nodded.

Under Bai Yuzi's questioning gaze.

Without hesitation, she said, "Little Five is just a child. She definitely doesn't know anything about this grand array. What are you thinking, brother?"

"Then what do you mean?" Bai Yuzi's expression stalled.

The girl stared with her big, innocent eyes, speaking in an innocent yet determined voice, "Little Five doesn't know about formations, but Little Five knows brother. Sister Caixia always says that brother is a dummy when it comes to arrays."

After speaking, she spread her plump little hands in resignation, sighing like a little adult,

"Sigh, it's not like brother can find the array's core anyway. It would be better to wait for Brother Zhang Jing to deal with those five ugly guys before letting us out."

However, as soon as her words fell.

A seemingly invisible door suddenly appeared in front of the siblings, and behind the door stood three young figures with warm smiles.

"Brother Bai, we meet again."

Qingyun's Dao body was the first to get up and greet them.
