Chapter 1479 - 669: Kill!

"Haha!"

Xia Cang looked awkward, but couldn’t openly say anything to Chen Xuan, so he just played along with a forced smile.

Chen Xuan quickly understood the situation.

He was undeniably a second-generation cultivator and couldn’t be expected to know such things.

"Anyway, thank you for saving us, those in the Emperor Realm; otherwise, the Upper Domain would have been finished." He shuddered with sweat every time he recalled.

He did not expect the Qing and Cloud Saints to be so utterly insane.

If it weren’t for Chen Xuan, the Upper Domain would’ve become a realm of death.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Xuan merely smiled slightly. To be honest, it was just a convenient act for him.

"Alright, you may go now."

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan continued walking along the field path, while Xia Cang slightly bowed and sighed before leaving.

"The conditions for ordinary life have already been fully met."

Along the way, there were fields, small rivers, and various orchards, the only thing lacking was some vitality.

"Perhaps I could bring in some weak mystical beasts."

In addition, he noticed this Acupoint World’s self-correction in progress.

"I wonder how it will ultimately evolve?"

Regarding this, Chen Xuan was extremely curious.

And there were some differences among the six worlds possessing the Dao Pearl.

In the Flower Saint Dao Pearl’s Acupoint World.

Chen Xuan stood before a lake, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers, where Baihua Fairy sat at the center.

A white figure swiftly approached him, Baihua Fairy bowed gracefully, "Greetings, sir."

Her heart was full of mixed emotions, not expecting the once stunning man to be even stronger than the Flower Saint.

"No need for formalities."

Chen Xuan smiled and spoke, "You look quite delightful."

"Mm!"

"This place is very peaceful, Baihua enjoys it a lot!"

She inherently preferred tranquility, even now with her powers sealed, she enjoyed this place.

"Sir, this is..."

"Alright, as long as you like it!"

Chen Xuan interrupted her, then his figure slowly faded away, while Baihua’s eyes showed an unusual color, with her nose sensing a different fragrance, her heart rippling.

...

Who knows how much time had passed?

Chen Xuan, originally immersed in cultivation, was suddenly awakened by a violent fluctuation, his form vanished instantly.

Flying boat!

He appeared beside the Artifact Saint.

Below, the flying boat was enveloped by a faint silver light shield, which emitted silver light that continuously eroded the space.

"The array’s outer formation is complete."

The Artifact Saint breathed a sigh of relief, after a century of full effort, the grand array was finally operational, though still incomplete, with many details remaining to be adjusted.

But the core node was completed.

Chen Xuan, however, felt a bit eager to test the array, naturally wanting to see how strong he had become.

"Mind if I give it a try?"

"Ah—?" The Artifact Saint was stunned but seeing his impatience, "Take it easy, the array now is powered by spirit stones, not the core energy provided by the blazing sun, only about fifty percent of its full might."

"Got it!"

Chen Xuan pointed down.

A golden finger shadow appeared above the flying boat.

"Boom!"

The space trembled, the finger shadow collided with the light shield, creating ripples across the shield.

"Such formidable resilience!"

Not only was the defense robust, but it also weakened the power at his fingertips.

The next moment!

The power of the Dao emerged.

"Pop..." With a crisp sound, the light shield shattered instantly, transforming into scattered fragments.

Yet the next scene left Chen Xuan surprised.

The shattered light shield automatically converged, resisting his finger shadow once again.

"As long as the grand array’s power isn’t exhausted, it can continuously resist external forces unless the power is depleted, or the flying boat is destroyed."

Indeed, without breaking the grand array, the flying boat remains safe.

Because the array is integrated into the flying boat.

Thus, this flying boat’s key is the core blazing sun.

As long as it’s there, everything’s fine.

"What a wondrous array, it seems alive." It was Chen Xuan’s first encounter with such an array.

"You’re right! It’s alive, otherwise why use the Emperor Realm’s divine souls for node placements?" the Artifact Saint explained. In truth, when the Cloud Saint entrusted this array to him, he was astonished.

Because he had never seen such an array either.

But at that time, he felt the array was too cruel, requiring so many divine souls, which was downright insane.

However, as the array became more refined, he finally discovered its peculiarities.

Just as Chen Xuan said, alive!

Once fully activated, it won’t need anyone’s control, merely a continuous energy supply.

"Cloud Saint truly is a genius!"

Even Chen Xuan had to praise Cloud Saint.

Be it the body-severing method or this array, both are unprecedented, worthy of the strongest among the Eight Saints.

"However, more divine souls are needed."

Though the grand array’s core node is finished, many more nodes, about a hundred or so, remain vacant.

"Cloud Saint and Qing Saint also asked about the flying boat’s progress recently, what do you think...."

The Artifact Saint looked to Chen Xuan for an answer.

"Would their split souls be sufficient?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, the Dao had been comprehended over forty percent, his inner acupoints had nearly illuminated fifty, a vast difference in strength from before.

It was time to test those two’s capabilities.

And the Artifact Saint understood his implication instantly, "Is it possible?"

It wasn’t distrust in Chen Xuan’s power; it was that the strength of Cloud and Qing was too formidable.

"Possible!"

With those two words, the Artifact Saint felt a newfound confidence.
