On Tianbao Peak, the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion shone like a sun, radiating circles of treasure light. Endless Treasure Qi flowed from the pavilion, transforming every blade of grass, tree, bamboo stalk, and stone on Tianbao Peak into something like a magical treasure.
Even a speck of dust or grain of sand from the mountain could inspire countless legends and myths once it left Golden Ao Island.
As Fang Yang stepped into the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion, a vast Starry Sky appeared before him, threaded with tens of thousands of rivers of stars. They glittered brilliantly, countless stars shining within them and illuminating the Starry Sky World.
Yet Fang Yang could tell that the stars in the sky weren't real. They were mountains piled from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The resources around the pavilion's outskirts were still recognizable to him, but the deeper he went, the more powerful the treasures' auras became. If some of them weren't sealed with talismans, they would probably have gained Spiritual Wisdom long ago, cultivated the Dao, and become immortals or gods.
Whoosh!
Fang Yang became a streak of rainbow light and stopped before a Deep Purple Great Star.
Thick thunderclouds shrouded the star overhead. Between heaven and earth raged endless storms of lightning, with countless bolts striking the star's surface every moment.
But Fang Yang knew that what he saw was only an illusion. This Great Star wasn't a star at all. Its true form was an Innate Divine Eye—the Eye of Thunder Punishment.
Sect Master Tongtian had slain countless Demon Gods and powerful beings beyond this world. Some of those Demon Gods had bodies that were neither humanoid nor shaped with a complete set of organs.
The Eye of Thunder Punishment had itself once been a powerful being from beyond this world.
After killing him, Sect Master Tongtian had refined his body into a magical treasure and placed it in the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion.
Only after venturing deep into the treasury did Fang Yang realize that Sect Master Tongtian had laid down a Heavenly Mystery within it. All Fang Yang had to do was look at a treasure, and he would naturally learn its origins.
"I've cultivated the Lightning Law, and the Eye of Thunder Punishment holds tremendous power. If I refine it and merge it with my own eye, it'll greatly benefit my cultivation of the Lightning Law."
Fang Yang had always loved magical treasures and divine abilities with a violent beauty. His favorite treasures were hammers, spiked clubs, and axes, and his favorite cultivation techniques were thunder arts.
He raised his right hand. Threads of Space Power flowed from his palm, weaving a massive Space Cage in midair. The cage closed around the Eye of Thunder Punishment, and countless Space Blades appeared, slashing at its shell.
Crack!
A succession of sharp snaps rang out across the Eye of Thunder Punishment's surface. As its Purple Shell peeled away, an emotionless eyeball appeared in midair, its gaze cold to the extreme.
This eyeball was the Eye of Thunder Punishment's true form.
Though Sect Master Tongtian had already refined the Eye of Thunder Punishment into a magical treasure, it still weighed heavily on Fang Yang. Every time the eye looked at him, he felt lightning explode inside his body.
"What a treasure! With the Eye of Thunder Punishment, my Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder is sure to advance into Supreme Purity Divine Thunder!"
In the end, Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder was merely a branch of Supreme Purity Divine Thunder, and its power couldn't compare. Supreme Purity Divine Thunder was also known as Terminating Divine Thunder. It contained the power to bring all things in heaven and earth to an end and send them into the Return Ruins.
He reached out and grabbed it. Under the impact of the Space Law, the Eye of Thunder Punishment shrank to the size of a normal eyeball.
Whoosh!
Fang Yang put away the Eye of Thunder Punishment and continued searching for treasures that could be useful to him.
Of course, if he came across any particularly rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he would take some as he saw fit. Just because he couldn't use them now didn't mean he wouldn't need them later. If he ever did, he could simply take them out instead of making a special trip to Golden Ao Island for materials.
The Nine Yang Primordial Gold Stone, Mysterious Yin Crystal Fluid, Tai Hao Divine Jade, Beast God Skin, Innate Willow Root... Fang Yang could barely take it all in.
Some of the treasures in the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion had been allocated to the Interception Sect by Old Ancestor Hongjun from the Mysterious Gate Treasury. The rest were treasures Sect Master Tongtian had won through his efforts in the Primordial Wilderness.
After Sect Master Tongtian became a Saint, he had little use for these treasures. He placed them in the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion for his disciples to use as they pleased.
In other words, Fang Yang was looking at a treasury his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters had already ransacked. Even after they had picked it over, the pavilion's stores remained so abundant that Fang Yang couldn't imagine what they had been like before.
Before entering the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion, Fang Yang had been a complete country bumpkin. If Sect Master Tongtian hadn't laid down a Heavenly Mystery in the pavilion, he wouldn't have been able to name the treasures even if they were right in front of him.
The deeper Fang Yang ventured into the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion, the higher the grade of the treasures became.
As the Interception Sect was a great formation sect, the pavilion's depths held many Formation Disks, each containing a powerful formation.
First were the guardian formations of the Primordial Wilderness's great powers. These included the Four Symbols Heaven Derivation Array of the Four Clans of the Four Spirits of Heaven-Opening; the Dragon Clan's Nine Heavens Ten Lands Dragon God Array and Myriad Streams Return to Void Array; the Phoenix Clan's Life and Death Nirvana Array and Myriad Phoenixes Perch on Wutong Array; the Kirin Clan's Heavenly Origin Myriad Beasts Array and Eight Desolations Wutu Array; the Demon Race's Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array; and East Prince's Myriad Immortals Array.
With his profound mastery of the Formation Dao, Sect Master Tongtian had reproduced all these formations on Formation Disks for the disciples of the Interception Sect to study and understand.
Of course, these great formations couldn't actually be recreated. Even Sect Master Tongtian lacked the ability to do that.
To truly set up these formations required a vast number of Great Luo Golden Immortals or even Quasi-Saints, along with countless Formation Flags and the necessary central objects.
Take the Demon Race's Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array, for instance. Where could Sect Master Tongtian find 365 Zhou Tian Star Gods?
If Sect Master Tongtian had that kind of ability, the Two Sages of the West would have been kneeling before him long ago, begging him to help bring about Western Prosperity.
The Four Symbols Heaven Derivation Array of the Four Clans of the Four Spirits of Heaven-Opening was even more out of the question. Only Divine Lord Mengzhang, Divine Lord Jianbing, Divine Lord Lingguang, and Divine Lord Zhiming could use it. They were irreplaceable—unless they gave up their positions as the Four Pole Divine Lords.
What Sect Master Tongtian meant to demonstrate was the principles and ideas behind the formations.
Besides these existing formations, Sect Master Tongtian had also left behind many formations of his own creation.
For example, the Mysterious Heaven Seven-Section Sword Array could be used by just seven peak Quasi-Saint powerhouses to stand against a Saint.
According to Sect Master Tongtian, once the formation was complete, it could condense a Spirit Treasure True Body. That Spirit Treasure True Body was Sect Master Tongtian himself.
The Seven Attendant Immortals cultivated this formation. Unfortunately, they had little hope of reaching the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
Sect Master Tongtian's vision for the Formation Dao was simply too lofty. He had deduced five Saint Level Formations alone.
Besides the Mysterious Heaven Seven-Section Sword Array, the other four were the Nine Bends Star River Array, Primordial Infinite Heavens Array, Qiankun Immeasurable Heaven Opening Array, and Forty-Nine Heavenly Dao Array.
Unfortunately, these formations either demanded too much of those leading them or required the right time and place. No matter how profound they were, they could only sit gathering dust in the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion.
"It's no wonder Master is hailed as the foremost expert in the Formation Dao in the Primordial Wilderness. If these formations were deployed, they'd surely shake heaven and earth and make ghosts and gods weep."
Fang Yang was deeply interested in the Formation Disks Sect Master Tongtian had left behind, but he knew his cultivation realm wasn't high enough. Trying to study these formations by force would do him more harm than good.
