What the Grand Era Will Bring
What is the function of the Spirit Gathering Array?
There are two!
The first step is to continuously gather the surrounding spiritual energy.
The second is to ensure that the spiritual energy within the range of the Spirit Gathering Array does not dissipate, and to ensure that the spiritual energy always exists within the range of the array.
Previously, there was Spirit Gathering Array in the Greenhouse Area, and it was of a high grade, but there was no spiritual energy around it. Whose spiritual energy was it gathering?
It can only ensure that the spiritual energy within the formation does not dissipate, nothing more.
But now.
The entire Green Mountain Town was covered by Spirit Gathering Array to ensure that the spiritual energy within the array would not dissipate. At the same time, the Spirit Gathering Array in the Greenhouse Area finally had a chance to be used!
Whoosh!
A powerful breeze blew up from the Greenhouse Area behind the three of them, seemingly without origin, yet it was ever-present.
Following Lin Fan's words, the three of them turned around and entered the Greenhouse Area.
Even Lin Fan was surprised at that moment!
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
Compared to the Purple Mansion Holy Land, it is naturally far inferior, and it is even less comparable to the famous mountains and holy lands of the Central Province Cultivation World.
But at this moment, it is almost three times more concentrated than it was a moment ago!
All the medicinal herbs were now full of vitality, lush and green, and many leaves even seemed to be dripping with water...
Taking a breath of fresh air is invigorating, and even Zhou Na couldn't resist sitting cross-legged to practice meditation!
Moreover, as the Spirit Gathering Array continues to operate, the concentration of spiritual energy within the Greenhouse Area will increase until it reaches a 'limit value'.
"That's really good."
Lin Fan was thrilled; this was almost enough to satisfy his cultivation needs...
The Inverted Tiangang Formation attracts the Star Power, the Transformation Formation converts the Star Power into spiritual energy, which is then drawn to the large Spirit Gathering Array here. Subsequently, it 'merges' with the spiritual energy within the formation, and is then absorbed and expelled by the spiritual herbs...
Each step will make the spiritual energy even more concentrated!
Therefore, in Lin Fan's perception, the spiritual energy in the Greenhouse Area at this moment has almost reached the standard for his cultivation, or even for further breakthroughs.
Of course, this is only barely meeting the standard. To break through to the Golden Core Mid-Stage, or even enter the Nascent Soul realm, it will still require a lot of time to accumulate experience!
It's not that there's a bottleneck in the breakthrough, but rather that the spiritual energy... is still insufficient.
"However, at least we can see a glimmer of hope."
"This is enough to prove that my idea and that of our Saintess are correct: to use the Star Power to Spiritual Qi Revival of the Earth, and even to give birth to the Dragon Vein again..."
"When the Earth's spiritual energy is fully restored, perhaps my path forward will be free of obstacles?"
"But before that..."
Lin Fan smiled and looked at his respected teacher, "Old Chen, want to cultivate immortality?"
Old Chen was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly. "I'd like to, but look at my age, can I still fix it?"
"Moreover, compared to cultivating immortality, I am actually more interested in studying formations and other related things."
He scratched his head. "You know, research is actually more appealing to me than cultivating immortality..."
Lin Fan nodded.
He certainly knew that.
Old Chen is that kind of person.
The study and exploration of unknown foods held a fatal attraction for him, while other things paled in comparison.
However, regarding cultivation...
Few people would resist it, and Old Chen wouldn't either.
But the problem is that he's afraid cultivating immortality will be too time-consuming and will interfere with his research.
This isn't just Old Chen worrying unnecessarily; cultivating immortality inherently requires single-minded concentration and is time-consuming and laborious!
Otherwise, how could there be sayings like "time passes in the mountains"?
What if I learn how to cultivate immortality and spend decades or even centuries in seclusion... then what's the point of researching it?
So, after thinking it over, Old Chen finally said, "Is there anything like that..."
"A technique that's so easy to learn and so easy to break through?"
"Ideally, I could wake up in a completely new state after a good night's sleep, without affecting my research or wasting my time!"
Zhou Na glanced sideways. "(ˉ__ ̄~)"
"There's such a technique?"
"Please be sure to give me a copy as well."
"You're dreaming."
Lin Fan laughed and scolded, "How is this any different from what I originally thought? High pay, little work, close to home, less work, more pay, and getting something for nothing is the perfect job I want."
"But I still haven't been able to achieve it!"
"So that means there isn't any?"
Old Chen sighed deeply, "Alas, what a pity!"
"Then please just give me any cultivation technique, preferably one that's easy to learn and allows for quick advancement."
"..."
Lin Fan almost rolled his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Such techniques do exist, but most of them are heretical or demonic, such as raising many young girls as furnaces to be used at the right time..."
"Or it could be something like cultivating by drinking human blood."
"This kind of technique is easy to learn and progresses much faster than ordinary techniques. If you want it, I can get you a copy."
He then looked at Zhou Na, raising an eyebrow. "You're the same. This kind of technique also has versions for women. You could raise a whole bunch of virgin boys or something..."
Zhou Na: "(⊙o⊙)..."
"However, all these techniques have one problem."
"It is... that they are easily killed."
"Moreover, they are prone to misfortune in their later years, and their entire body will be covered in hair of various colors!"
This wasn't just something Lin Fan made up; it was actually true.
The strength of Heretical Cultivator increases rapidly because they do not follow the conventional path! Most cultivation methods of immortal cultivators are moderate and peaceful. Even if they are somewhat domineering, they will not cultivate by harming others.
However, there are not so many rules for Heretical Cultivator and Demonic Cultivator.
Do it as fast as you can!
Such things as eating hearts, drinking blood, absorbing yin to replenish yang, devouring the souls of others, and even directly absorbing the cultivation of others...
Do it as evilly and quickly as possible!
But such people usually don't live long.
Because once you start, you can't stop.
When you're weak, you might be able to quickly advance your cultivation level by simply killing some ordinary people and minor cultivators, which would be incredibly addictive.
However, as their strength increases, if they want to continue cultivating, they must kill some cultivators with decent cultivation levels. But which of these cultivators doesn't have friends, family, or a sect?
Killing one person might be fine, but if you kill too many, you'll get killed sooner or later!
Even if you're invincible all the way through, you might still face divine retribution later on; being covered in hair is the least of your worries...
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Old Chen shuddered. "Then forget it, just give me any cultivation technique."
"I don't want it anymore either."
Zhou Na's face was a little pale.
It's not that I'm afraid of growing hair all over my body, it's just that I find these techniques disgusting...
"Hahaha."
He chuckled and said, "Actually, I've already prepared this for you. Na-jie, since you've Entering Dao through martial arts, I have a ' Martial God Art ' here. It's a technique created many years ago by a brilliant martial arts master after Entering Dao the Dao through martial arts."
"It suits you perfectly."
"A senior who Entering Dao through martial arts? Who?"
However, Zhou Na's focus was a bit strange. "Could it be Zhang Sanfeng?"
Lin Fan: "..."
Is there Zhang Sanfeng in the Cultivation World?
No, right?
"He can be whoever you want him to be."
This guy can only be fooled.
After speaking, he pointed his right sword finger at Zhou Na's brow and imparted the entire Martial God Art to her. Almost the next second, Zhou Na fainted.
It was only because Lin Fan reacted quickly that she wasn't forced to lie directly on the ground.
Then, he said to Old Chen, "Old Chen, I see that you are much more enthusiastic about studying formations than you are about studying spiritual herbs, so I have prepared a cultivation technique related to formations for you..."
"Have?!"
Old Chen's eyes lit up. "This is good! This is good!"
"I like this kind of thing: I can cultivate at the same time and study formations."
"Body as Formation!"
Similarly, by forming a sword shape with their fingers, they directly 'imported' the entire technique into Old Chen...
but.
His performance was better than Zhou Na's.
Although he had never Entering Dao, perhaps because he had been conducting research and had a higher IQ and a larger brain capacity, he did not faint.
Even so, he swayed for a while before finally falling to the ground and gradually calming down.
"This cultivation technique..."
Old Chen tried to mentally review the technique, and after a moment, he was shocked. "It can be like this?!"
"Using oneself as a formation, reaching profound depths, bearing countless formations... wouldn't that... make one invincible?!"
"I wouldn't call myself invincible, but if you set up enough and ruthless formations... then very few people will dare to provoke you in the future."
Lin Fan shook his head.
Lin Fan had naturally seen the technique of Body as Formation, so he was very familiar with it.
Simply put, in terms of cultivation, the technique of using the body Body as Formation is not particularly outstanding, and is even quite ordinary...
Absolutely generic stuff.
However, the unique feature of this technique is not in its cultivation process, but in the fact that after practicing it, one can actually 'carve arrays' on one's own body!
Moreover, theoretically speaking, there are no restrictions on engraving arrays. As long as one is strong enough, the array one engraves is precise enough, and there are still places on one's body to engrave arrays, one can continuously engrave various arrays...
If one has enough talent or perseverance, their future achievements will certainly not be low.
Advanced?
Perhaps not so fast!
But its combat power... is off the charts.
For example, if you had all ten killing formations engraved on your body... who would dare to fight you?
You dare to come again?
What's wrong with adding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?!
If all else fails, try other formations such as the Heavenly Stars Grand Array, the Du Tian Shen Sha Grand Formation, or the Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Formation...
If a real fight breaks out, won't everyone who comes die? Won't a whole group of them die?
Of course, very few people know these formations, and to inscribe them on oneself is even more difficult than climbing to heaven.
However, Lin Fan's reason for choosing this cultivation technique for Old Chen was not to make Old Chen invincible in battle in the future.
Rather, it was Old Chen himself who was very interested in formations, and this particular technique was most suitable for him.
A moment later, Zhou Na slowly woke up.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "You should all hurry up and cultivate diligently."
"The great era... is about to begin."
