Chapter 230: Third-Level Immortal Array Master (Silver Alliance Shangguan Yulin Bonus Chapter 5)
The Nine-Leaf Transcendence Flower was indeed the most top-tier spiritual herb for healing the soul.
In just two hours, Yu Chen, the partner of Lian Yinping, regained his color, and the furrow between his brows relaxed.
After four hours, Yu Chen opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
"Brother Chen..."
Lian Yinping called out excitedly.
Who wouldn't want to live forever with their loved one if given the chance?
"You've worked hard, Yinping," Yu Chen said tenderly, looking at her.
Lan Xiaobu was about to bid farewell when Yu Chen performed a respectful gesture towards him.
"Thank you, Brother Lan, for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would already be dead."
Lan Xiaobu felt a bit downhearted and waved his hand, about to speak, when Yu Chen suddenly took out a formation flag.
"Brother Lan, this is a formation flag my master gave me. It's the main flag for opening the Artifact Dao Enlightenment Room. I wanted to give it to you last time, but I couldn't express it properly. Now, I'm handing it over to you. Though I'm not sure if this flag can help you find the Artifact Dao Enlightenment Room from our sect."
"Thank you," Lan Xiaobu quickly accepted the flag, genuinely grateful.
Without the formation flag, he wouldn't know where to start.
With it, he could at least sense something.
After saying this, Lan Xiaobu remembered that the two might not have a good place to go.
He offered, "I've established a sect called the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. If you two have nowhere to go, you can stay there temporarily."
"The Great Desolate Immortal Sect?" Both Lian Yinping and Yu Chen were stunned.
The Five Realms Immortal World had just formed, and someone dared to establish such a sect?
But soon, Lian Yinping resolutely said, "Brother Lan, from now on, we are members of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect."
They had no home to return to, and if it weren't for Lan Xiaobu, they would already be dead.
If they weren't afraid of death, what else was there to fear?
...
After Lian Yinping and Yu Chen left with the location sphere Lan Xiaobu provided, Lan Xiaobu immediately refined the formation flag Yu Chen had given him and began sensing the corresponding aura.
One day, two days...
As time passed, Lan Xiaobu had long left the 50,000-mile radius of the former Pengyue Immortal Artifact Sect.
After a month, Lan Xiaobu felt a faint trace of an aura, though he wasn't entirely sure.
He focused all his attention on this trace, even neglecting his usual cultivation of the Longevity Technique.
Two months later, Lan Xiaobu confirmed he wasn't mistaken—the aura was becoming clearer.
By now, he was a thousand miles underground.
As the aura grew clearer, Lan Xiaobu sped up his underground movement.
One day, while still searching for this aura, his divine sense suddenly detected a vast empty space.
There was a massive underground chamber? Lan Xiaobu directly entered this space.
He didn't even need to search further; his divine sense immediately caught sight of a few words: "Artifact Dao Enlightenment Room."
Excited, Lan Xiaobu activated the control formation flag in his hand.
Despite the upheaval of the Five Realms' fusion, the Artifact Dao Enlightenment Room could still be opened with the flag.
He easily stepped inside.
A gray formation disk appeared before him, suspended in mid-air.
Besides the disk, there was a row of jade slips in the room, each containing methods, insights, and techniques for artifact crafting.
A Time Formation Disk? Lan Xiaobu excitedly grabbed the disk.
Though some of the restrictions inside were still functional, without the support of the sect's grand formation, the restrictions holding the Time Formation Disk crumbled as soon as Lan Xiaobu touched it.
He immediately seized the disk.
It wasn't easy, Lan Xiaobu thought, looking at the Time Formation Disk in his hand.
From today, he would definitely improve his array skills and set up a higher-level defensive immortal array for the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
The Great Desolate Immortal Sect lacked strong cultivators, so they had to rely on defensive formations for protection.
After a while, Lan Xiaobu collected all the remaining artifact-crafting jade slips.
He didn't rush to leave the space, deciding to refine the Time Formation Disk there.
As soon as his divine sense touched the Time Formation Disk, Lan Xiaobu realized his mistake.
The disk couldn't be refined; it could only be used.
Lan Xiaobu activated the Time Formation Disk, and layers of time-based Dao aura immediately swirled around it.
Everything seemed to become illusory.
Lan Xiaobu quickly enveloped himself with the Cosmic Dimension Matrix and connected with the external world's natural laws.
This was Lan Xiaobu's method.
Others couldn't sense the external world's Dao laws while using the Time Formation Disk, so they couldn't utilize the time within.
But he was different.
He could use the Cosmic Dimension Matrix to connect with the external world's Dao laws.
This meant that no matter how much time passed inside the Time Formation Disk, he could still touch the aura of the natural laws.
As the Time Formation Disk began to operate, the surrounding immortal spiritual energy surged towards it.
But Lan Xiaobu still felt it was too slow.
He decided to have the Cosmic Dimension Matrix provide a high-grade immortal spiritual vein to power the disk.
Five days later, Lan Xiaobu tested it out.
When the Time Formation Disk absorbed the surrounding immortal spiritual energy on its own, the time ratio between the outside world and the disk was 1:10.
When using a high-grade immortal spiritual vein to power the disk, the ratio became 1:30.
If he could find an even higher-grade spiritual vein in the future, the time ratio would increase further.
Lan Xiaobu immersed himself in studying array techniques within the Time Formation Disk.
The artifact-crafting methods of the Pengyue Immortal Artifact Sect also inspired him, allowing him to craft higher-level formation flags.
A year later, Lan Xiaobu successfully became a first-grade immortal artifact master, and his array skills reached the second level.
Five years later, he crafted second-grade immortal artifact formation flags, and his array skills were on the verge of breaking through to the third level.
Despite being on the brink, there was still a significant gap between second-level and third-level immortal array masters.
For nearly a decade after that, Lan Xiaobu made little progress.
It wasn't until fifteen years later that he crafted third-grade immortal artifact formation flags and, with the help of the Cosmic Dimension Matrix, set up his first third-level immortal array, finally becoming a true third-level immortal array master.
This was the difference between having the Cosmic Dimension Matrix and not having it.
Without it, studying array techniques could lead to being stuck on a problem for hundreds of years.
But with the Cosmic Dimension Matrix, any problem could be solved with a single model.
If one model wasn't enough, then two.
After becoming a third-level immortal array master, Lan Xiaobu didn't continue to consume time within the Time Formation Disk.
It had taken him only a year to break through to the second level, but fourteen years to reach the third level, even with the help of the Cosmic Dimension Matrix.
The gap between the third and fourth levels was even more significant, and he likely wouldn't break through anytime soon.
Moreover, he needed to return to his sect.
He had been away for two years.
The Five Realms Immortal World was changing rapidly.
Two years could bring many changes, and he had spent several years outside for the Time Formation Disk.
...
Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
Apart from the sect's stone monument, there was only a main hall.
This hall was built by Fu Qianhen, Chang Qingshuang, Qi Hanfu, and a few others, primarily as a temporary cultivation abode.
"Senior Brother Qianhen, someone has come to pay a visit to the sect," Lian Yinping rushed in, sounding anxious.
Lian Yinping had only been at the Great Desolate Immortal Sect for less than two months.
Having lived a life of survival outside, she had more experience than the three from the Fragrant Medicine Valley.
Thus, external sect affairs were handed over to her.
However, the Great Desolate Immortal Sect was still just a piece of land with a protective array and a somewhat rudimentary main hall.
So, external affairs mainly involved guarding the sect's entrance.
Fortunately, this place was also suitable for cultivation.
Lian Yinping had just crossed into the Golden Immortal Realm and was now at the first level of Golden Immortal.
Fu Qianhen was already at the fifth level of Golden Immortal.
Hearing Lian Yinping's words, he immediately stood up.
"Let's go out and see."
The Great Desolate Immortal Sect didn't have any particularly strong cultivators, but neither did it have any particularly weak ones.
Fu Qianhen was at the fifth level of Golden Immortal, Chang Qingshuang at the third level, Qi Hanfu at the second level, Yu Chen at the second level, and Lian Yinping at the first level.
Apart from Gu Dao and Lan Xiaobu, everyone else was a Golden Immortal.
The sect's entrance opened, revealing a fair-skinned, beardless man standing at the door.
Fu Qianhen's divine sense swept over him and immediately knew that this person was stronger than all of them—likely a Profound Immortal cultivator.
Indeed, the beardless man was a Profound Immortal, and a mid-level one at that.
Seeing that everyone who came out was a Golden Immortal, with the strongest being someone he could easily kill, the man immediately understood the situation.
"May I ask who you're looking for, fellow Daoist?" Fu Qianhen clasped his fists and asked.
The beardless man smiled faintly.
"You can't make the decisions. I'm here to discuss something important."
Qi Hanfu immediately said, "Our sect master isn't here. If you have something to say, just say it."
This statement further convinced the Profound Immortal that this place was just a group of ants occupying some land.
Indeed, since the fusion of the Five Realms Immortal World, many people had been trying to establish their own sects to gather fortune.
The beardless man said, "Our sect plans to build an immortal city here, so unrelated people, please step aside. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Fu Qianhen was stunned, then said, "The Five Realms Immortal World is vast and boundless. We were here first. Why are you trying to take over? Is there no reasoning with you?"
The beardless man pulled out a crystal whip.
"I'm not here to reason with you. What are you going to do about it?"
Fu Qianhen's heart sank.
Although they had more people, they were no match for this Profound Immortal.
Before Fu Qianhen could make a decision, a sudden voice sounded in his ear, "Attack with full force."
Was that the sect master's voice? Fu Qianhen was overjoyed.
It had to be Sect Master Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu had returned.
Lan Xiaobu had indeed returned, and not just recently.
He hadn't entered the sect because he had discovered a strange place outside.
There was a swirling spiritual mist, and within it, a massive spiritual mist pool was slowly forming.
Since this place was less than a thousand miles from the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, Lan Xiaobu had stayed there cautiously.
The Great Desolate Immortal Sect was located in a desolate area, so it was unlikely to attract attention.
But once this spiritual mist pool appeared, it would surely draw many powerful cultivators.
Though he didn't know what was happening, Lan Xiaobu quickly set up concealment formation flags to hide the pool.
Before he could finish, he saw a Profound Immortal cultivator arrive and exclaim in delight, "An Ascension Pool?"
