Four Great Hunyuan Formations

Time flew by, and a hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Fan hosted a Hongmen Banquet for the Three Heavens. Goddess Wangshu and Empress Ziguang arrived at Taiyang Star early.

The cool and noble Goddess Wangshu looked at Li Fan. "You've done quite well as the Solar Star God."

"Of course." Li Fan looked smug. When Zhuzhao fell, Li Fan ate his fill.

The surface of Taiyang Star burned with raging golden flames, radiating incomparably scorching Solar True Fire. Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian had already arrived. As they drew near, they felt a pressure upon their souls and waves of blistering heat.

At Li Fan's arrangement, the Star Gods had arrived before the Three Heavens in advance to welcome them.

One of the Star Gods said respectfully, "Three great gods, please follow me. My Solar Star God has been waiting for you for quite some time."

The Star God led the Three Heavens to their banquet seats before withdrawing. The three rulers of the Star Sky had all arrived, and various Spirit Fruits collected by Li Fan, along with spiritual wine he had brewed, were served.

This spiritual wine had been prepared with the Innate Spirit Fruit Huangzhong Plum as its core ingredient, supplemented by other Spirit Fruits.

The moment Empress Ziguang drank it, the clear chill touched her tongue, and as the wine slid down her throat, she immediately fell in love with it.

In Li Fan's eyes, Empress Ziguang was especially adorable when slightly tipsy. After several refinements, the spiritual wine's fragrance wafted through the air. The amber-colored liquid was crystal clear without a trace of impurity, like flowing glazed glass beneath the faint light.

Li Fan looked at Empress Ziguang. "If you like it, I'll give you two jars later."

Empress Ziguang nodded and looked toward the Three Heavens. "Cang Tian, Qing Tian, Huang Tian, if the three of you want this spiritual wine, I'll have the Solar Star God send each of you a few jars later. Don't be embarrassed."

Huang Tian hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks. "Many thanks for Doumu Yuanjun's kindness."

Empress Ziguang looked at the Three Heavens. "What do you three think of our Star Sky?"

Cang Tian smiled. "The Primordial Starry Sky is naturally excellent. The three Supreme Star Gods protect the Star Sky, earning the admiration of us Three Heavens."

Wangshu went straight to the point. "Are you three willing to join the Star Sky? We can build it together. If you have any concerns, say them, and I'll help you resolve them."

Cang Tian looked at Qing Tian and Huang Tian, and the three exchanged glances.

Qing Tian slowly spoke. "We three have only just separated from the Nine Heavens, so we will not trouble the Taiyin Star Lord. We have already decided to establish ourselves independently in the future."

Seeing this, Li Fan inwardly sighed. What a pity. If the Three Heavens joined, he could establish the initial framework of the Zhou Tian Starry Sky Formation. The more people there were to set up the Zhou Tian Starry Sky Formation, the better, and the Three Heavens were the most suitable candidates.

The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth in this God-Demon Era was about to arrive. Whenever Li Fan thought of the five Dao Fruit Avatars of Demon Gods who had escaped from the last battle, his scalp went numb.

In the worst-case scenario, five Half-step Hunyuan Grand Unity beings would emerge. The Chaos Demon Gods would certainly recover faster than the All Gods of the Prehistoric Universe could cultivate. Time was not on their side.

Formations in the Prehistoric Universe were the best choice for challenging opponents above one's level. However, when Li Fan thought of the eventual fates of those who used Hunyuan Formations, none of them ended well.

In Later Generations, Demon Ancestor Luohu's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was broken and obtained by Hongjun. During the Witch-Demon Era, the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation and the Zhou Tian Star Array were destroyed.

The Investiture of the Gods Era was even more outrageous. Shangqing, one of Pangu's direct descendants among the Three Pure Ones, was Sect Leader Tongtian, the Saint of the Interception Sect.

He first set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation passed down by Great God Hongjun, only for it to be broken. Unwilling to accept this, he then set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and had his sect directly destroyed. Willing or not, he had to accept it.

The Four Great Hunyuan Formations of the Prehistoric Universe had all been wiped out, each ending more miserably than the last. This result truly made Li Fan lose it!

Empress Ziguang looked regretful. "Very well, then. The evolution of the Primordial Starry Sky is of utmost importance. Your Starlight Great Formation draws upon the power of the Three Great Supreme Stars, so you may not use it freely. Otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless."

Wangshu took over, her tone stern. "Ziguang is right. During the last War of the Nine Heavens, we did not cut off your summons of the Supreme Stars' law power."

"The Supreme Stars have expended quite a bit of Star Law power. Without my permission, you may not summon the power of the Taiyin Star in the future."

Li Fan looked at Empress Ziguang and Goddess Wangshu. One was more domineering than the other, but I like it. Hehehe.

As soon as Doumu Yuanjun and the Taiyin Star Lord said this, Huang Tian's face filled with rage. They were going too far.

Cang Tian saw the Taiyin Star Lord's calm yet terrifying gaze. A man had to bow his head under another's roof.

The Taiyin Star Lord was not the solitary Cangli Clan. She was at the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven and wielded the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiyin Jade Forbidden Pearl. Doumu Yuanjun was also watching like a tiger at her side, and Solar Star God Li Fan was no pushover.

The three of them had only two methods to increase their law power. One was to rely on the blessing of a Great Thousand World, but its range was limited. They could not possibly carry a Great Thousand World wherever they went.

The other was the Starlight Great Formation, but before the three Supreme Star Gods, it was practically useless. Damn it, Cang Tian's heart was filled with fury.

Yet Cang Tian still wore a broad smile as he looked at Li Fan. "What does the Solar Star God think of the Starlight Great Formation?"

Li Fan remained calm and spoke bluntly. "The evolution of the Primordial Starry Sky is important, and Taiyang Star is especially important. My demand is simple: after the War of the Nine Heavens, replenish the law power Taiyang Star lost. Only then will you retain the right to use it in the future. This is the list for you."

Cang Tian looked at the list, and his eyes practically spat fire. This was robbery. The law power Taiyang Star had expended would slowly recover on its own. That damned Solar Star God was demanding an outrageous price.

Li Fan thought to himself, Robbery? How could robbery be this fast? Tenfold profits were the path to wealth!

The banquet immediately turned cold. Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian stared coldly at the three Supreme Star Gods as their auras erupted.

Li Fan was not nervous in the slightest. On Taiyang Star, even a Great Divine Power at the Grand Unity Ninth Heaven would be someone he could fight. This was called having everything under control. Empress Ziguang and Goddess Wangshu continued drinking and chatting, not taking the Three Heavens seriously at all.

Moreover, once the conflict began, when it ended would no longer be something the Three Heavens could decide.

Li Fan's gaze swept over the three of them. "Have you three gotten drunk? Drinking too much is not good."

The Three Heavens saw Li Fan's utterly fearless expression, and their auras immediately weakened. At this time, they still needed the power of the Starlight Great Formation to guard against Heavenly Emperor Cangli.

Li Fan already knew that Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian had made their decision. Though he coveted the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Three Heavens' possession, now was not the time.

A person's ambitions grew with the passage of time. The three were one body, their origins interconnected, which accelerated their cultivation. It had benefits, but also enormous drawbacks.

Hunyuan Grand Unity was difficult to attain unless the other two were willing to fulfill one person. Furthermore, as the Pure Qi Origin of Heaven, ever since the Three Heavens separated from the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World, an alternative struggle for the Great Dao had begun between them and Heavenly Emperor Cangli.

Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian needed the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World, especially Heavenly Emperor Cangli's Grand Unity Heaven. Grand Unity Heaven possessed the Pure Qi Origin of Heaven.

Even if Heavenly Emperor Cangli restored the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World and spared the Three Heavens, Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian would still oppose him. The Pure Qi Origin of Heaven was enough to move hearts.

As part of Heavenly Emperor Cangli's Dao Fruit and the foundation of his Divine Kingdom, only with Grand Unity Heaven could one be called the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, how could someone cultivating the Law of Destiny be called the Heavenly Emperor? The divine names of the Prehistoric Universe were not chosen at random.

The banquet ended on bad terms. Li Fan watched Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian depart, hoping the three would not get entangled with Heavenly Emperor Cangli's Dao Enemy, the Destiny Demon God!
