Comprehending Formations

Old Ancestor Styx thoroughly stabilized his cultivation. He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed through their depths. Then, with a light wave of his hand, the Western Plain Cloud Banner transformed into a streak of light and flew into his grasp.

The Great Wilderness Earth remained incomparably desolate and silent. Across the vast expanse of Heaven and Earth, only the howling of fierce winds and the sound of flying sand and tumbling stones echoed. Although this boundless world concealed countless precious treasures, the current circumstances clearly were not the best time to search for them.

After pondering briefly, Old Ancestor Styx had made his decision. His figure flickered, transforming into a blood-red rainbow as he sped toward the Nether Blood Sea. That was his true foundation, and it would allow him to settle down and properly sort through and absorb the valuable experiences and insights he had gained from his travels over the years.

By this time, the pressure of the Great Dao and Father God Pangu between Heaven and Earth had greatly diminished compared to when Old Ancestor Styx had first left the Nether Blood Sea. His journey was calm and uneventful. After one Eon, Old Ancestor Styx finally arrived at the Nether Blood Sea!

The moment he stepped into the Blood Sea, Old Ancestor Styx felt a familiar warmth wash over him. The Nether Blood Sea itself seemed to radiate joy, welcoming a traveler home!

As soon as Old Ancestor Styx returned to the Blood Sea Creation Array, dense Qi of Creation surged toward him. Blood-red lotus flowers bloomed throughout the pond where the Karma Red Lotus had taken root. The Qi of Creation within had become so dense that it condensed into droplets, continuously flowing into the pond. Old Ancestor Styx immediately took out the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and tossed it into the center of the lotus pond. He then brought out the nine Creation Green Lotus Seeds he had obtained from the Creation Green Lotus, setting aside Father God Pangu's gift for Houtu separately to nurture with Qi of Creation. After using his divine sense to communicate with the Lotus Seed that contained the consciousness of the Creation Green Lotus, he threw the remaining eight Lotus Seeds into the Water of Creation and allowed them to grow freely!

Afterward, Old Ancestor Styx used his divine soul to connect with the Nascent Souls within the Three Thousand Chaos Demon God Avatars. He sensed that all of them had reached the Profound Immortal realm and could undergo Form Transformation at any time! However, Old Ancestor Styx did not allow them to transform just yet. The longer they were nurtured, the deeper their foundations would become!

After observing the Three Thousand Chaos Demon God Avatars, Old Ancestor Styx did not intend to inspect the Blood God Son avatars for the time being. He decided to first consolidate his realm, then use the insights he had gained from the Creation Yin Yang Array and the Creation Green Lotus to properly reshape the Blood Sea Creation Array and strengthen the Formation's power!

Old Ancestor Styx then sat cross-legged atop the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and carefully reflected. As he contemplated the experiences gained during his travels over the years, his state of mind continuously broadened, driving an increase in his realm until he reached Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Perfection. After stabilizing his realm, Old Ancestor Styx took out the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment. With the Law of Array Dao within it as support, he comprehended the common points between the Creation Yin Yang Array and the Blood Sea Creation Array, combining them with his insights into formations over the years. Slowly, he attempted to merge the strengths of both formations and create an even more powerful Formation!

After one Eon of dedicated comprehension, Old Ancestor Styx finally integrated all his insights from the formations he had encountered over the years. He successfully upgraded the Blood Sea Creation Array, making its ability to refine baleful qi and transform it into Qi of Creation even stronger. Its nurturing ability was enhanced, useless functions were removed, and its protective capabilities also improved. Any area covered by the Formation would become increasingly solid under the nourishment of Qi of Creation, and its defensive power would likewise greatly increase!

Old Ancestor Styx smiled in satisfaction. The Blood Sea had no need for powerful offensive abilities. The waves and storms within it alone could erase a Da Luo Golden Immortal, while an ordinary Quasi-Saint without a treasure for protection would lose all sense of direction upon entering the Blood Sea! Strengthening its refining, transformation, and nurturing abilities was far more important. As for its protective ability, that was merely to ensure the Blood God Sons could be nurtured without disturbance. He had not forgotten that Mosquito Daoist was still somewhere within the Blood Sea. Given the chance, he would definitely find it...
