My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 180 Array Spirit

As the Fire Raven Sect's divine domain successfully advanced to a medium-sized divine domain, countless phenomena appeared in an instant, as if the entire world was shrouded in this mysterious and powerful force.

One after another, extremely mysterious auras surged like a raging tide, frantically impacting the array barrier, seemingly trying to break free and transmit themselves to the outside world.

However, under Zhao Xuan's control, the seemingly fragile formation was like an indestructible fortress. No matter how fiercely these auras collided, they could not break through even the slightest bit.

If even such a tiny bit of energy cannot be effectively blocked, then wouldn't Zhao Xuan's unparalleled mastery of formations be nothing but empty boasts?

Zhao Xuan intentionally allowed those Daoist auras to escape, and the situation was the same.

Because no matter how they try to escape, as long as the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation, this impregnable barrier protecting the divine domain, exists, they are destined to have nowhere to escape.

Moreover, these Taoist principles actually have other uses.

As the formation continued to operate, gradually, all sorts of spiritual entities, as if attracted by some mysterious force, converged towards the core area of ​​the formation.

Gradually, these spiritualities merged and eventually coalesced into a dazzling ball of light.

Under Zhao Xuan's perception, a naive and ignorant consciousness slowly began to form within the ball of light.

This consciousness is as pure and innocent as a newborn baby, filled with curiosity and longing for everything around it.

Under the protection of the light, it greedily absorbed the endless Dao essence in the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain. Each wisp of Dao essence that merged into it made its body stronger and its consciousness clearer.

And so time quietly slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, a whole thousand years had passed.

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded through the sky, sounding like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, as well as the mooing of cattle and the neighing of horses.

Immediately afterwards, the once radiant ball of light exploded, transforming into countless golden specks of light, dazzling like fireworks, before gradually dissipating into nothingness...

Just then, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a strange and amazing beast that slowly emerged.

This strange beast has a head and tail that resemble a majestic and powerful dragon, but its body is as solid and heavy as a giant tortoise. The golden light shining all over its body is dazzling and seems to contain endless mysterious power.

When this strange beast was first born, it already possessed the power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, emanating a powerful aura of primordial unity, like an invisible shackle that tightly bound its form.

If someone's understanding is profound enough and they can investigate carefully, they will be surprised to find that this strange beast actually has no physical body.

Its entire form is composed of countless dense and intricate spiritual patterns that are interwoven and connected to each other.

Suddenly, the strange beast whirled around and transformed into a tall, powerful man in the blink of an eye.

He bowed respectfully to Zhao Xuan and said, "Jin'ao greets my lord and thanks my lord for the great blessing bestowed upon me!"

Zhao Xuan stood quietly in place, focusing his mind on the wondrous connection between himself and the golden turtle.

He savored and pondered the mystery within, thinking to himself: Is this the unique connection between the Creator and what He has created? This feeling is truly indescribable!

At this moment, all sorts of complex and profound laws seemed to flash through Zhao Xuan's mind one by one: creation, cause and effect, fate, time, space and reincarnation... It seemed that it was these endless laws that together constructed this wonderful connection before his eyes.

Moreover, thanks to this connection of energy, Zhao Xuan could completely control the actions of the man named Jin'ao in front of him, including his life and death.

However, while Zhao Xuan felt a sense of familiarity with this strange feeling, it was also an unprecedented and unfamiliar experience.

The reason he was familiar with this connection was that when Zhao Xuan was still in the Human Immortal Realm, he had sensed similar connections from the Ten Heavenly Stems Squad, the Serpent Vine, and the Green Bamboo Staff. However, the connection of energy he had with the Golden Turtle was different now.

His connection with the Ten Heavenly Stems Squad, the Serpent Vine, and the Green Bamboo Staff leans more towards a causal relationship, and secondarily towards destiny.

Compared to the connection with Jin'ao, it's nothing.

Before establishing a cause-and-effect relationship with themselves, the former exist as individuals with complete and independent selves.

But Jin'ao is different. It was created entirely by Zhao Xuan from scratch, so this connection is more in line with the close and unique relationship between the creator and the creator.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan could clearly feel two completely different emotional fluctuations from Jin Ao: one was the deep affection for his son, as if Jin Ao regarded him as a reliance and role model in his life.

Secondly, there was that barely concealed sense of unease, much like a child facing their beloved father, filled with both admiration and a desire to be close to him, while also worrying about not being able to gain his approval and praise.

This feeling was truly wonderful for Zhao Xuan. In a daze, it reminded him of tens of thousands of years ago, when Zhao Chengxiong and the other person probably felt the same complicated and conflicted emotions when they treated his clone.

Unfortunately, I was so focused on my spiritual practice at the time that I didn't pay any attention to or reciprocate this feeling.

Zhao Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly, "As the spirit of the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation, it is not inappropriate for you to call yourself the Golden Turtle."

However, there are many Golden Turtles in the Lingbao Dao Sect, so if you only use Golden Turtle as your name, it may not be enough to highlight your individuality.

From now on, you may take my surname and be called Luo Yu.

In this way, it will not only highlight your uniqueness but also embody my expectations for you.

May you one day, through your own power, encompass all things in the heavens, master all methods, and become a powerful ruler who governs all living beings.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the burly man, and he quickly bowed again.

His face was beaming with excitement, like a child who had just received his parents' approval and praise. He exclaimed, "Rogin thanks my lord for bestowing upon me this name! I will remember this kindness forever!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xuan gently waved his sleeve, and a dazzling divine light shot out, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, directly plunging into Luo Jin's massive body.

In an instant, Luo Jin felt an incomparably powerful force surging through his body, filling all his meridians and acupoints with this mysterious power.

Zhao Xuan looked at Luo Jin and instructed him, "You should step back for now and calm down to carefully comprehend the knowledge I have bestowed upon you."

These are the essence of my years of research. If you can master them, you will surely break through your current limitations and forge a physical body that truly belongs to you.

Luo Jin respectfully replied "Yes," and then his entire body suddenly burst forth with boundless golden light, like a dazzling sun.

As the light flashed, Luo Jin's figure gradually blurred, eventually turning into countless golden streaks of light and dissipating into the void.

Although Luo Jin had left, Zhao Xuan could clearly feel a faint but persistent consciousness always lingering around him, like an invisible thread tightly wrapped around him.

He understood that this was a manifestation of Rogin's will to stay and protect him.

After all, the purpose of the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation is to protect this vast land and the safety of those who set it up. Now, as the spirit of this formation, Luo Jin will naturally spare no effort in fulfilling this mission.

Furthermore, this land has undergone thousands of years of tempering and transformation by the fire of the crows drawn by the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation, and has now perfectly integrated with this world, becoming a natural masterpiece.

It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Jin is both the spirit of the array and the Heavenly Dao of this vast region.

Such a powerful being was indeed beyond Luo Xuan's capabilities, but this excess was not abrupt; rather, it was in a delicate balance, basically matching Zhao Xuan's improvement after receiving the teachings from the Three Immortals.

As for those that might exceed the limit, a simple excuse like an epiphany will suffice.

The Way of Formations can be called the Great Way to Heaven, and it is not just about four levels of external changes.

In fact, in the Lingbao Dao Sect's lineage, formations have four major external changes and five major internal changes, totaling nine changes.

Previously, Zhao Xuan had successfully demonstrated his level of control over the four major external changes by relying on the essence he had comprehended during the Three Immortals' sermons.

It is reasonable to grasp the four external changes and then suddenly understand one internal change at a time.

The first internal change in the art of formations is the nurturing of the formation spirit.

Once the momentum accumulates to a certain level, it will gather a massive amount of spirituality like a gushing spring.

These spiritual entities are like embryos, representing the initial form of the spirit array's birth.

However, these initial spiritualities have not yet formed a unified consciousness. They are like scattered stars, dispersed throughout the formation, independent of each other and unrelated to one another.

Therefore, it is not easy to get them to condense into a shape.

However, once the formation reaches the stage of restriction, it can skillfully guide these scattered spiritual entities and use restriction techniques to shape their bodies.

Once they possess a physical body, these spirits will gradually develop a unified consciousness.

Once the spirituality is unified, if there is a body that has been carefully shaped through restrictions, it may condense into a spirit array.

However, not all formations have the conditions to nurture a formation spirit. Only those formations whose power is sufficient to reach the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal have the opportunity to generate a formation spirit.

Moreover, in order to form a spirit array, a unified consciousness is required.

Generally speaking, newly born array spirits can only control a portion of the array's authority. They still need to undergo a long period of integration before they can gradually master the entire array's authority.
