Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 72 Formation

Following the Jade Emperor's order, wanted posters for Gaoyuan were issued and posted everywhere. Gaoyuan himself, who had escaped, saw the wanted posters for himself.

"Damn it, Jade Emperor...you just wait!"

From Heavenly Court Envoy to Wanted Criminal, it's just a matter of a single thought. Gao Yuan's soul resides in a magical artifact. Because he used the Blood Spirit Escape Technique, Gao Yuan appears extremely weak at this moment, with less than one-hundredth of his strength. Not to mention Chongxu, he can't even unleash the power of Qingxu.

"You've been exposed! What happened?"

The magical artifact that Gao Yuan rode in resembled a car. It was inspired by another world and was adapted to local conditions. It is also related to the Three Realms and the other world. Some interesting little gadgets were passed down in this way.

At this moment, besides Gao Yuan, there was another person in the car. The other person's appearance was exactly the same as Long Cheng's, except that his eyes looked slightly sinister.

Long Xiang, the second son of the Dragon King of the Underworld and the younger brother of Long Cheng, was arrested for stealing the evil artifact Shi Fang from the Demon Suppression Tower and poisoning two elders guarding the tower. He was rescued by his elder brother Long Cheng, and the two of them betrayed the Dragon Clan and joined the Six Laws Heavenly Venerable, using the name of Tai Xu to avoid trouble from the Dragon Clan.

"It's Long Cheng, he's still alive."

Upon hearing this, Long Xiang's face remained calm, but the sudden clenching of his fingers inside his sleeve revealed that his emotions were not as composed as they appeared.

"Heh, so Long Cheng is still alive."

Long Xiang's cultivation level was lower than Long Cheng's, but Long Cheng had been in Shifang for too long and his cultivation level had not improved. Long Xiang, on the other hand, had surpassed him and had already advanced to the Void Reaching stage with the help of the Six Laws' resources.

No matter what, Long Xiang is a genius, only slightly weaker than Long Cheng.

One of the reasons why Gao Yuan and his group didn't take action during the years Long Cheng was in Shifang was because of Long Xiang. Although Long Xiang didn't seem to care, he still cared a lot about Long Cheng, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped the Shifang plan from continuing.

"We'll find you a new body first. The island has descended, and the Celestial Venerable's plan is about to begin. You'd better recover your strength as quickly as possible."

Although the plateau was exposed, for the vast power of the Six Laws, it was not even a serious injury, let alone a crippling one. It was only because of the plateau's special status that the impact was minimal.

As the island descended, undercurrents began to stir, and many factions noticed a strange tension in the Three Realms recently.

However, the undercurrents were of little concern to Fang Xiu, who was currently cultivating an array—that's right, Guang Hua Zi's array.

As one of the tenants inside Xiao Hu's body, Guang Hua Zi, who was in the mid-stage of the Tai Xu realm, was once the top array master in the Heavenly Court. With a single thought, he could create arrays, and arrays could be transformed into countless forms.

However, now that Guang Hua Zi's formation is inside Xiao Hu's body, it is no longer effective. The two of them are too powerful, and Xiao Hu would have to go through a transformation to absorb their power.

Moreover, after observing for this period of time, Guang Huazi had already determined that Xiao Hu's personality was not very suitable for cultivating formations; he was too straightforward.

After witnessing Fang Xiu's cultivation of the Hunyuan Technique through Xiao Hu's perspective, Guang Hua Zi had an idea. Through Xiao Hu, Guang Hua Zi sent a signal that he wanted to meet Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu and Xiao Hu sat facing each other, their palms touching. Fang Xiu's consciousness arrived at a peculiar place.

This is Xiao Hu's mental space. Generally speaking, the size of a mental space is equivalent to one's cultivation level. The mental space of a mental cultivator is considered the largest among those of the same level. However, Xiao Hu, who only has the cultivation level of Jade Void, has a vast and boundless mental space, as if it has no boundaries.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu could only sigh at Tai Geng's superb skills; the mental space that could accommodate the King of Dongyi and Guang Hua Zi was naturally extraordinary.

In the spiritual space, Fang Xiu met Guang Hua Zi, but did not see the King of Dong Yi, clearly indicating that the other party had no intention of meeting Fang Xiu.

It was only after meeting Guang Huazi that Fang Xiu learned that Guang Huazi, this array master and former Taixu cultivator, was actually a mental cultivator.

Indeed, the opponent controls hundreds or thousands of formations with his mental power. These formations have different attributes, and not everyone cultivates multiple elements like Fang Xiu. In this light, it is not surprising that Guang Huazi is a mental cultivator. Grape Ancestor, who is also a Taixu cultivator, once said that although Guang Huazi is only in the mid-stage of Taixu, no one in the entire Immortal Realm can surpass him when it comes to formations.

Formations and spells are similar yet different; in some ways, they lead to the same goal.

Under the tutelage of the world's foremost master of formations, Fang Xiu absorbed formation-related knowledge like a dried-up sponge and put it into practice.

The subjects of this practical exercise were naturally Xiao Hu and Cui Shao. In this way, Fang Xiu's formation was improved, and Cui Shao and Xiao Hu also got some training. Isn't that a win-win situation?

A month later, in the open space in front of Xuan Yi Residence, Fang Xiu stood still, his fingers twitching slightly, and with a flick of his magic power, arrays rose from the ground.

Wood Spirit Array, Fire Spirit Array, Wind Spirit Array, Ice Spirit Array...

These are all basic elemental formations, but with the enhancement of Fang Xiuqingxu's magic power, they are quite powerful, enough to deal with Cui Shao and the other two who are still in Yuxu.

Observing from Xiao Hu's perspective, Guang Hua Zi nodded slightly. Fang Xiu's progress was rapid. In just one month, he went from knowing nothing about formations to mastering not only basic formations but also more difficult ones.

After passing through layers of elemental arrays, the two, looking rather disheveled, finally rushed to within three zhang of Fang Xiu. At this moment, the array beneath Fang Xiu's feet changed, and the array patterns became even more complex.

Formations are built step by step, just like many spells. Lower-level spells are downgraded versions of higher-level spells. This is to make them easier to master.

"Mountain Demon-Sealing Formation!"

This is an advanced formation with earth attributes. It can summon mountain phantoms to suppress opponents and is used to trap enemies. Of course, Fang Xiu has mastered other formations as well, but he is just sparring with Xiao Hu and the others. He is not trying to kill them. If he really wanted to defeat them, wouldn't it be more convenient for Fang Xiu to directly suppress them with his cultivation level?

During this time, Fang Xiu also received Shifang sent back by the Jade Emperor. The problem of Shifang being eroded by the Nightmare Ancestor for a long time has been solved by the Heavenly Court's weapon-refining masters. However, since the original spirit of Shifang has collapsed, they can only reshape it on the original basis.

Now, Shifang no longer looks dark and gloomy; it resembles a blue crystal ball, and the souls inside have been sent to be reincarnated.

Unlike Long Cheng, Shi Fangzhong's soul and body were already destroyed, leaving him with only the path of reincarnation. Moreover, most of his souls had been severely exploited by the Nightmare Ancestor, and Shi Fang could hardly make up for it. Even if he were to reincarnate, he might be an idiot in his previous lives and need to go through reincarnation to make up for the loss.

While Shifang is not as effective as it used to be, it is still a decent soul-cultivating magic weapon, retaining its basic functions of nourishing the spirit and repairing soul damage.

Holding the Shifang back in his hand, Fang Xiu closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the depths of his soul, his soul space...
