Chapter 420 – The Heavenly Gang Divine Power
Lan Xiaobu raised his hand and immediately grasped the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk.
He soon discovered that what he held was only the foundation of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk.
In other words, this formation disk was still missing thirty-six formation flags.
But Lan Xiaobu quickly noticed something different – on this disk there was a Great Heavenly Gang Formation, which was composed of thirty-six Vitality Planets.
This great formation was, in turn, made up of countless smaller Heavenly Gang formations.
The nine Vitality Planets he had previously visited were only one small Heavenly Gang formation within this greater design.
That means any random nine Vitality Planets he visited could form a small formation; it wasn’t just that he happened to visit the nine Vitality Planets needed to form one.
The mysteries of this Great Heavenly Gang Formation were truly boundless.
Lan Xiaobu could recognize its structure, but he could not grasp its profound secrets.
Lan Xiaobu then carefully stored away the formation disk.
His goal was to gather all thirty-six formation flags as quickly as possible.
After leaving the Flame Star, Lan Xiaobu returned once more to one of the Vitality Planets.
According to the indication on the base of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, there had to be a formation flag hidden somewhere on this planet.
The only difficulty was that Lan Xiaobu did not know where this flag was concealed.
He first took out the foundation of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, wanting to see if there was any hint on it.
To his delight, he clearly saw an arrow pointing in a specific direction.
Following this instruction, Lan Xiaobu discovered an underwater cave estate in a deep-sea area.
The cave was guarded by a top-level formation – a formation that certainly surpassed the Ninth-Level Immortal Formation.
Not to mention that even if Lan Xiaobu could break through, he wouldn’t want to spend the time doing so.
To force his way into such a cave estate would take him several years on his own.
Relying on his experience, Lan Xiaobu soon found four characters, “Turn the Yin and Yang,” written inconspicuously on the formation’s door.
This was one of the Heavenly Gang’s Thirty-Six Transformations, one of the divine abilities.
Lan Xiaobu did not master this divine ability either; he could only engrave these characters onto the formation door.
After the divine ability was inscribed, it wasn’t long before the formation door automatically opened.
Before him appeared a palace, and inside the palace there was nothing but a single formation flag floating in the air – one of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Formation Flags.
At this point, Lan Xiaobu’s heart was already clear on one thing.
This chaotic secret realm was not meant for those who entered it to search for the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations.
Instead, its purpose was to have those transformations inscribed so that others could learn from them.
The Heavenly Gang Great Emperor was probably dead.
If he were still alive, then the design would have been intended to have someone deliver the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations to him.
After that, things became simpler.
Some formation flags were hidden deep under the surface of the planets, some among the mountains, and others hidden in the void.
To obtain these flags, Lan Xiaobu had to inscribe a Heavenly Gang Divine Ability onto every formation door, such as “Star Shifting and Dipper Exchanging, Reversing Heaven and Returning the Sun, Summoning Wind and Invoking Rain, Shaking Mountains and Disturbing the Earth, Soaring through Clouds and Riding the Mists…”
In just one short month, Lan Xiaobu managed to gather ten formation flags.
One day, Lan Xiaobu once again arrived on a planet.
Following the guidance of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, he made his way to the door of a formation hidden deep in a swamp.
Unlike before, however, he did not immediately begin engraving a Heavenly Gang Divine Ability onto the formation door.
Instead, written on this door was “Foreknowledge of the Future.” This divine ability was different from the ordinary ones.
It definitely required one to have a profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. “Foreknowledge of the Future” is not simply like studying divination or reading fortunes – it is truly a divine ability that controls the destiny of the universe.
Perhaps, as soon as one engraved this divine ability onto the formation door, he would obtain the eleventh formation flag.
Yet Lan Xiaobu suddenly realized something.
At present, perhaps only he still possessed the complete knowledge of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations.
Zhao Gongming’s cultivation was limited – he could not possibly have learned all of the Heavenly Gang Divine Abilities.
Even the saints of the Great Desolate Universe might not have mastered all the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Abilities.
If the saints had truly mastered them, then nothing would be abandoned in the cosmos – one wouldn’t skip one level today and another tomorrow.
The saints’ control over heavenly designs was limited merely to the Great Desolate Universe or the Nine Heavens.
To transcend that? “Foreknowledge of the Future” was an ultimate divine ability that surpassed the boundaries of any one universe.
In this vast era of the great universe, a single Great Desolate Universe is nothing more than a speck of dust.
If he were to inscribe all these divine abilities onto the formation door, what if someone managed to learn them all? Even if he erased everything before leaving, what if the Heavenly Gang Great Emperor wasn’t truly dead?
If the Heavenly Gang Great Emperor were still alive, he would surely notice what Lan Xiaobu had inscribed on the door.
And even if the Great Emperor had died, that was only his assumption.
After a long hesitation, Lan Xiaobu decided that this time he would obtain the formation flag not by inscribing divine abilities to open the formation door, but by other means.
This was a formation door that exceeded the Ninth-Level Immortal Formation – opening it would take many years, but that did not mean it was impossible.
In Lan Xiaobu’s view, even though the door surpassed the Ninth-Level Immortal Formation, it wasn’t by much – at most it was merely a half-divine formation or the lowest level of a divine formation.
It wasn’t that the Heavenly Gang Great Emperor’s formation method was inadequate, but rather that there was no primordial energy from an immortal spirit vein to support a higher-level grand formation there.
For others, this type of divine formation was an enormous nuisance, perhaps one they would never be able to open.
But he was different; he was himself a Ninth-Level Immortal Formation Emperor.
More importantly, he possessed a Cosmic Dimension Matrix.
With that in mind, Lan Xiaobu decided to conceal his current position using a Ninth-Level Concealment Immortal Formation, and then study the formation door using his Cosmic Dimension Matrix.
Time passed slowly, and outside this formation door, Lan Xiaobu’s understanding of formation techniques advanced by leaps and bounds.
Every so often, Lan Xiaobu would throw a formation flag towards the door.
If nothing happened, he would use his Cosmic Dimension Matrix to construct new models and analyze why that flag had no effect.
Before long, a year had passed.
One day, as usual, Lan Xiaobu tossed another formation flag into the void formation slot outside the door.
Based on his past experience, there should have been no response when the flag was thrown, but it didn’t matter – he had his Cosmic Dimension Matrix, which would help him analyze the problem.
As long as he could figure out the issue, he believed he would continue improving.
To Lan Xiaobu’s amazement, after he tossed the flag, the formation door, which had been motionless until then, suddenly split open with a crack.
At that moment, Lan Xiaobu’s heart pounded wildly.
Following his own plan, he threw over a hundred formation flags in rapid succession.
If he succeeded, it would mean he had truly transcended the rank of Ninth-Level Immortal Formation Emperor and that his formation techniques had reached a new level.
Crack! With a sudden sound, the formation door completely opened, and a formation flag appeared before Lan Xiaobu’s eyes.
Excitedly, Lan Xiaobu stepped forward and grabbed the formation flag.
This was the first time he had obtained a formation flag without having to use a Heavenly Gang Transformation Divine Ability to open the door.
But the greatest gain was not just that, it was that his understanding of formation techniques had broken through the limitations of a Ninth-Level Immortal Formation Emperor.
This breakthrough would be a tremendous help when he eventually went to the Silent God Valley.
Everything is difficult at first.
After that, for Lan Xiaobu, it was like cutting through bamboo.
By the time he retrieved the final formation flag, he had opened the formation door within just a few minutes.
Looking at the thirty-six formation flags he had gathered, Lan Xiaobu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret.
If he had thought earlier to use the formation technique to open the door, he would not have needed to inscribe ten divine abilities onto it.
As for the other divine abilities, that wouldn’t matter much.
The two divine abilities of “Manipulating Creation” and “Turning Yin and Yang” were absolutely the most extreme divine abilities in the universe – losing them would be a significant loss.
As for abilities like “Summoning Wind and Invoking Rain,” “Shaking Mountains and Disturbing the Earth,” or “Soaring through Clouds and Riding the Mists,” Lan Xiaobu didn’t care much.
In his eyes, they were nothing more than low-grade divine abilities.
Even within the Heavenly Gang Transformations there were high and low levels.
The highest ones were so exalted he could only look up to them, and the lower ones he was too lazy to learn.
Having gathered all thirty-six formation flags, Lan Xiaobu sent a message to Qiao Xing.
After waiting a long time with no reply from Qiao Xing, Lan Xiaobu decided to find a quiet place – he had to refine the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk first.
Based on his time inside the Chaotic Secret Realm, he calculated that he had at most one year until the realm closed.
The Heavenly Gang Formation Disk in his hand would definitely not be fully refined within just one year, but that did not trouble Lan Xiaobu.
He had his Time Formation Disk.
Though his Time Formation Disk had many limitations and couldn’t be used for cultivation, it was perfectly capable of refining objects.
Lan Xiaobu chose a quiet spot, entered his Cosmic Dimension Matrix, and activated his Time Formation Disk to refine the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk.
Before he began refining, Lan Xiaobu did not feel that much was amiss, but once he started, he became increasingly convinced that the Heavenly Gang Great Emperor was very likely not dead after all.
The formation disk was covered with hidden marks; without the Cosmic Dimension Matrix, many of these marks would have been impossible for him to notice.
The Cosmic Dimension Matrix was Lan Xiaobu’s domain.
Now, fully engrossed in refining the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk, no detail on the disk escaped his gaze.
After experiencing one of the deceitful tricks of a Qi Luck Formation Disk, Lan Xiaobu became even more cautious.
Thirty years later, Lan Xiaobu had completely refined the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk.
All the hidden traces of energy had been stripped away.
Moreover, on every formation flag, Lan Xiaobu had engraved a new Void Formation Pattern.
He planned to take all these formation flags out; after the calamity of the Immortal Realm passed, he would reclaim every single one of them.
Had it not been for his breakthrough in formation techniques, Lan Xiaobu truly would not have been able to achieve this.
Now his mastery of formations had surpassed that of a Ninth-Level Immortal Formation Emperor, placing him beyond the Immortal Realm.
With the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk still in his possession, using it to reclaim the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Formation Flags should pose no problem.
After leaving his Cosmic Dimension Matrix, Lan Xiaobu began to ponder how he could quietly deliver the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk to the thirty-six Immortal Domains.
Just as Lan Xiaobu was mulling over this problem, he received a message from Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing reported that he had discovered a very peculiar planet—a planet containing only one kind of thing.
Some said it was the Yuan Shen Fruit, which could be refined into a divine pill.
This pill could enable perfected cultivators of Immortal Emperors to tear apart the Immortal Realm’s boundaries and enter a higher level of existence.
Now, many people were gathered on that planet, all trying to seize the Yuan Shen Fruit.

Good night!)
