Weiji Grotto-Heaven, the Four Immortal Pivots

Chen Lingxi Qi Observation through his eyes.

He looked down at this vast sea, saw the scattered volcanoes, and the invisible array patterns that converged from all directions and eventually disappeared into the deepest part of the crater.

He took a deep breath, feeling his emotions surging like a tide.

"Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Daye Dynasty... the scale of his actions is truly astonishing."

He silently recited it in his heart.

With a volcano as its focal point and the mountains and rivers that permeate the entire Cave Heaven as its network, this colossal array was laid out...

The complexity of this formation and the sheer volume of spiritual energy it extracted far exceeded his expectations.

He had cultivated in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven for a long time and had seen many formations, including the Guiding Passage Formation used by projection experts to communicate with the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, as well as the killing arrays set up by Xi Ming.

However, compared to the colossal array before them, which used volcanoes as its eyes and mountains and rivers as its network, those other arrays were like fireflies compared to the bright moon—completely incomparable.

"No wonder Emperor Daye was able to cultivate to the Dao Foundation Middle Stage Realm in this spiritually barren Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven, despite being a mere mortal from the local area..."

With such a powerful array as his backing, coupled with his Immortal Husk and that Cauldron Vessel... how could he not be formidable?

"I'm afraid even the strongest experts from many of the major sects in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm would find it difficult to possess such a foundation."

He shook his head, suppressing these chaotic thoughts for the time being, and with a sway of his body, he fell back towards the crater.

Passing through billowing smoke, passing through scorching lava.

The deep, powerful heartbeat became clear again, shaking the entire volcano.

Chen Lingxi landed on the protruding rock platform, her gaze passing over the surging lava and landing on Xiao Changlü in the very center.

Xiao Changlü remained seated in the lava, his eyes closed and his expression serene.

The pale golden aura surrounding him was even more intense than when Chen Lingxi had left.

It was like a solid golden veil, completely isolating the scorching magma from the outside.

The array pattern beneath him was still slowly circulating.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely powerful spiritual energy was extracted from the volcanic formation and flowed into his body.

"Just how powerful is this Xiao Changlü... the avatar of Emperor Daye?"

Chen Lingxi asked himself this question.

This was the Total Perception Space, so Chen Lingxi had no reservations. He reached out and slowly channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the surging magma.

The spiritual energy silently penetrated the depths of the magma, spreading towards the array eye beneath Xiao Changlü.

His Divine Sense followed that wisp of spiritual energy, trying to find out what was hidden in that eye.

However, as soon as his spiritual energy touched the area within three feet of the array's eye, he felt an invisible barrier firmly blocking it.

That barrier was extremely mysterious; it was neither formed from Dao Origin nor transformed from spiritual Qi, but rather from a more ancient and obscure power.

It was as if an invisible Great Sage resided within the eye of the formation, preventing any outsider from peeking in.

"It seems that my Dao Platform level alone is insufficient to unravel the secrets of this array's core..."

Chen Lingxi withdrew the wisp of spiritual energy, but did not leave.

A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Changlü.

"Emperor Daye should be recuperating in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace at this time and has no time to attend to this matter."

Xiao Changlü has not yet awakened, and although the defensive restrictions at the core of the formation are strong, they are not operating all the time.

"Such a good opportunity should not be missed; it would be a great pity."

Without further hesitation, he gently flipped his right hand in Void, palm Heavenward Realm.

"Such a mysterious and wondrous place, I wonder if it contains the essence of heaven and earth, the secrets of creation!"

As Chen Lingxi pondered, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body slowly lit up.

The mysterious patterns on the Dao Platform lit up simultaneously, and the mysterious aura that had been entrenched in the center of the Dao Platform also blossomed at that moment.

As that aura was unleashed, an indescribable, terrifying suction force surged forth from the Dao Platform, frantically grabbing at the churning magma.

Chen Lingxi up.

"Just as I expected!"

He continued to activate the Dragon-Stripping Dao-Transformation One-Qi True Formula!

Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform!

To strip away the essence of heaven and earth, to seize the opportunity of creation!

Chen Lingxi intended to use the power of the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform to forcibly seize the spiritual energy within the volcano.

The Dao Platform rotated, generating a powerful suction force.

The surging magma began to tremble violently under this suction force.

The spiritual energy contained within this mysterious volcano was forcibly extracted by the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform, transforming into pale golden vortexes that converged wildly into his palm like rivers flowing into the sea.

The spiritual energy was so immense and intensely hot that it was as if countless fire dragons roared out from the depths of the magma, flowing into his body through the suction of the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform.

The pale golden lightning around Chen Lingxi suddenly surged, intertwining the scorching spiritual energy surging into her body with her own lightning power.

He felt his Qi Sea churning violently under the impact of this immense spiritual energy, and the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform was spinning wildly.

To his surprise, this spiritual energy, though immensely powerful and intensely burning, seemed incompatible with the path he cultivated.

"This power... is not spiritual energy." Chen Lingxi frowned deeply.

He could clearly sense that the spiritual energy he had seized from the volcanic crater was completely different from any spiritual energy he had ever encountered before.

It seemed to be a more ancient and purer force.

"It's not Dao Origin either..."

Chen Lingxi carefully sensed this mysterious power and found that after the energy entered his body, it began to circulate within him on its own.

Wherever he went, his vital energy surged and his spiritual energy surged, even causing his Qi and Blood to boil uncontrollably.

However, it does not merge with his spiritual energy, nor does it harmonize with his thunderous Daoist principles.

It was like a wild, untamed horse rampaging through his body, leaving him momentarily at a loss as to how to bring it under his control.

"Such a profound and mysterious mechanism... I am unable to utilize it."

Such a miraculous opportunity is like a treasure mountain laid out before me, yet I can only return empty-handed."

Chen Lingxi shook his head, intending to stop operating the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and expel the unruly spiritual energy from his body.

Just then, the spiritual energy of the volcano, which had been stripped away by the True Technique of Stripping Dragon and Transforming into Dao, seemed to have reached a certain limit, and the mysterious spiritual energy in the Dao Platform suddenly surged into Chen Lingxi's Consciousness Sea.

In an instant, Chen Lingxi's expression turned solemn; something unbelievable had happened.

He felt a wisp of Divine Sense Consciousness Sea, suspended in the very center of his Consciousness Sea, suddenly rise higher!

It seemed to break through the volcano's body, the surging sea of clouds, and all obstacles within the Cave Heaven in an instant, rising straight to the highest point of the Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

Immediately afterwards, a flood of information rushed into his mind.

Those messages were like an immense scroll unfolding in his mind, depicting the mountains, rivers, cities, villages, and vast seas of clouds of this Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

But the scroll was not still; rather, it unfolded slowly before his eyes as if it were alive.

The next instant, Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath!

"This..."

Having cultivated in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven for seven or eight years, Chen Lingxi could be considered quite knowledgeable.

He had seen many Cauldron Vessel, received the inheritance of the Great Sage, and witnessed the great Divine Ability of many strong individuals.

But even now, the scene before his eyes still stirred his emotions to a climax!

At this moment, Chen Lingxi seemed to transform into a deity within the Weiji Grotto-Heaven Cave Heaven, overlooking its many secrets!

He saw many fortuitous opportunity and treasures within the Cave Heaven.

The treasures radiated a spiritual light, like stars embedded in the painting.

He saw several ancient formations hidden in the thick fog, as if covered in dust, and nothing particularly remarkable about them.

He saw several ruins hidden in the clouds, the wind howling and blowing away the dust from them.

He even spotted three other locations.

A tranquil lake, its waters a deep, dark blue, surrounded by blooming flowers, exudes a sense of peace and tranquility, devoid of any danger.

A mountain shrouded in mist, not very high, but extremely peculiar, its waist is shrouded in thick spiritual mist all year round, and a certain rhythm flows within the swirling spiritual mist.

And a storm that is extremely hidden high in the sky.

The storm was accompanied by howling winds, torrential rain, and flashes of lightning, with bolts of electricity dancing wildly like silver snakes.

Just from glimpsing it in that Divine Sense scroll, Chen Lingxi could sense the terrifying power contained within the storm.

"Just how many secrets lie hidden within this Weiji Grotto-Heaven?"

"Que Xingxi, a Golden Core Golden Core True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family, such a figure, surely knows the secrets of this Cave Heaven -Cave Heaven and still wants to refine it?"

Chen Lingxi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After several Total Perception, he already knew that there were many secrets hidden in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven, and that this Cave Heaven was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

But when he actually saw the volcano, the storm high in the sky, the tranquil lake, and the mist-shrouded mountains, he still felt deeply shaken.

When he saw those mysterious places, lingering messages flowed through his mind like a gentle stream.

The information contained within was limited, yet it allowed Chen Lingxi to learn the names of these mysterious places.

"These four places are not ordinary locations, but the four Immortal Pivot of this Cave Heaven."

The Celestial Pivot of the Grotto-Heaven is the hub where the spiritual energy of this grotto-heaven flows, much like the dantian (energy center) in the human body; it is the source of life within the grotto-heaven.

Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered.

He had a premonition that not all Cave Heaven contained such Immortal Pivot.

"Moreover, the Immortal Pivot itself is fortuitous opportunity..."

"Emperor Daye occupied the volcano, and within this Volcano Immortal Pivot, he used his Dao Foundation Realm Incarnation as nourishment to nurture Xiao Changlü's avatar."

Chen Lingxi's gaze fell on Xiao Changlü.

Xiao Changlü restrained his aura to the extreme, yet a trace of his energy still leaked out with each breath. That energy was so intense that it was like a living furnace.

"Xiao Changlü's current combat strength should not be underestimated; he probably Dao Foundation Realm Establishment cultivator."

"Emperor Daye was already incredibly powerful; if Xiao Changlü were added to the mix, even Zhao Duanxuan might not be able to defeat him."

Chen Lingxi pondered for a moment, then her eyes darted around.

"But what secrets lie hidden in the storms high in the sky, the tranquil lakes, and the mist-shrouded mountains?"

Chen Lingxi felt puzzled and stared at the four Immortal Pivot that radiated different lights on the scroll of Divine Sense.

"That mist-shrouded mountain is the Ancestral Mountain; it turns out the Ancestral Mountain is also Immortal Pivot."

Chen Lingxi memorized the locations of the four Immortal Pivot, and then he let out a soft "Eh."

"Something's strange."

He was surprised to find that the mountains, the lakes, the storms, and even the Ancestral Mountain all exuded a unique and indescribable rhythm.

Those rhythms were like breathing, like a heartbeat, like the flow of blood; everything was perfectly in harmony and filled with the essence of the Dao.

Then Chen Lingxi was astonished to discover that this Weiji Grotto-Heaven seemed to be... alive.

"A living Cave Heaven?"

Chen Lingxi found her own thoughts rather strange.

He remained silent for a long time, his gaze lingering between the four Immortal Pivot.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.

In any case, this can be considered a kind of fortuitous opportunity for Chen Lingxi.

"It brings me a little closer to the secrets hidden within this Weiji Grotto-Heaven."

As Chen Lingxi pondered, she recalled that Emperor Daye Ying Xian used this Volcano Immortal Pivot as a support, placing Xiao Changlü's avatar within it and nourishing it day and night with his Dao Foundation Realm avatar.

Such a grand scale and profound planning are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"The Volcano Immortal Pivot has already been occupied by Emperor Daye, and Emperor Daye possesses a unique power that allows him to refine the mysterious power within the volcano."

This is how Xiao Changlü was raised, but I... have not found the right method."

A glint flashed in his eyes.

"But this celestial cave is not limited to just that volcano."

The storms high in the sky, the tranquil lakes, and the ancestral mountain shrouded in mist are all part of this celestial paradise.

Emperor Daye may have occupied the volcano, but he may not have known the wonderful uses of the other three Immortal Pivot.

By sheer chance, he glimpsed the entirety of these four Immortal Pivot, and this was his fortuitous opportunity.

Chen Lingxi couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

He withdrew from the Volcano Immortal Pivot and came to the clouds, intending to use the Dragon-Stripping Dao-Transformation One-Qi True Formula to explore the other two Immortal Pivot.

Having already made up his mind, and still in Total Perception, Chen Lingxi did not hesitate at all. He soared into the clouds, transforming into a pale golden rainbow, and plunged into the thick fog...

After a long time, Chen Lingxi followed her memory, traversing vast seas and layers of clouds, finally arriving at the location of the storm.
