Major Breakthrough

At this thought, Old Ancestor Styx could no longer wait to fly onto the island. Yet he did not rush to refine the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler. The island had not yet been explored, so there was no need for such haste. He then began gathering the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures scattered across the island, along with the occasional Innate Spiritual Treasure. Everywhere he passed was left in utter disarray! Other than duplicate Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Roots, everything else—whether rare flowers, exotic plants, or anything else—was collected into the Hundred Herbs Illustrated!

Several High-grade Innate Spiritual Roots were discovered on the island, along with dozens of Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Roots and a vast number of Low-grade Innate Spiritual Roots! The High-grade Innate Spiritual Roots consisted of a Sunflower, a Pear Tree, an Apple Tree, and a Pine Tree! After collecting them all into the Hundred Herbs Illustrated, the flow of time within it instantly reached one thousand times that of the outside world!

At the same time, he found several High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures on the island! They were a pair of Yin-attribute and Yang-attribute pearls—the Yin Spirit Pearl and Yang Spirit Pearl—as well as a War Spear and a Dharma Robe. Old Ancestor Styx refined the Dharma Robe and wore it before turning his gaze toward a Stone Tablet at the center of the island and the enormous ruler suspended in the sky!

He first approached the Stone Tablet. After refining it, he obtained information about this island. It was Fangzhang Island, one of the legendary Five Mountains, also known as Fanghu Mountain—one of the Three Immortal Islands of Penglai!

Old Ancestor Styx then began refining the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler. After diligently refining it for an Eon, he finally achieved preliminary refinement. It truly deserved to be called a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure. Merely refining it initially had taken so much time, yet the power it could unleash was already no weaker than his Companion Spiritual Treasure, Yuan Tu, or A Bi! Moreover, the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler was itself a supreme treasure of the Formation Dao. With it in hand, no matter how formidable a Formation was, Old Ancestor Styx could find its flaws and break it. As for weaker Formations, he could enter and leave them freely without being noticed!

Houtian Supreme Treasures also differed in quality. The Houtian Supreme Treasures Old Ancestor Styx had previously forged were simply unable to withstand a single blow before the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler. Of course, with sufficient Merit to nurture them, they would still have a chance to catch up!

After placing the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler into his Nascent Soul to nurture it, Old Ancestor Styx did not rush to leave Fangzhang Island. After all his travels, the high-level Formations he had encountered along the way, even the Chaos Demon God Remnant, as well as refining an Innate Supreme Treasure and a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure comparable to one, he had accumulated far too many insights and urgently needed to absorb them. Thus, he temporarily decided not to continue treasure-hunting. He would first enter seclusion to absorb his insights and organize his gains before setting out again!

With a casual gesture, he took out the Karma Red Lotus and sat cross-legged upon it. He then suspended the Blood Scripture above his head, where it radiated waves of Light. There was no longer any need to worry that this would damage the Karma Red Lotus's advancement. As his Companion Spiritual Treasure, the aura released by Old Ancestor Styx's breakthrough could instead promote the Karma Red Lotus's evolution. No longer dwelling on it, Old Ancestor Styx earnestly sorted through the insights he had gained during this period. Though the time had been short, everything he had encountered had been of the highest caliber. It could almost be said that this was his greatest harvest in cultivation thus far!

Time flew by, and Years passed like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, thirty Eons had gone by. At the center of a tranquil path, a blood-colored figure finally opened eyes that had remained shut for thirty Eons! Two brilliant beams shot from his eyes, nearly piercing through the void!

Old Ancestor Styx's gains from this seclusion were so immense that even he found them hard to believe. First, his realm had directly reached Da Luo Golden Immortal Perfection. His physical cultivation had also been stabilized at Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Perfection after being tempered by the two supreme treasures, while his cultivation had advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage. As for Laws, the Law of Blood had reached fifty percent after he observed the Blood Demon God Remnant, while the Law of Array Dao had likewise reached fifty percent due to refining the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler and the many Formations he had refined during this period! His other Laws remained unchanged!
