After her wisdom was enhanced, it became much easier for Pingxin to comprehend reincarnation.
Secondly, over the years, Chen Yang had also proposed creating techniques. He spoke of many divine ability concepts, such as the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Grand Reincarnation Art, Reincarnation Treasure Art, Six Paths Reincarnation Method...
It was, in a sense, a kind of collector's obsession. Whenever Chen Yang thought of the various special divine abilities in fantasy novels, he wanted to create them. Drawing upon the concepts behind those divine abilities and integrating the wondrous methods of the Primordial World, he created them through his own insights.
As a result, these divine abilities became Primordial World versions of those techniques. In terms of power, they far surpassed the settings of those fantasy novel divine abilities.
Pingxin found this rather interesting. Based on the concepts Chen Yang provided and her own comprehension of the Great Path of Reincarnation, she truly created many wondrous methods.
Not only that, Pingxin also assisted Chen Yang. Using the Great Path of Reincarnation, they prepared to develop a Reincarnation Formation.
In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.
Over those several thousand years, Chen Yang and Pingxin traveled throughout the Eastern Sea Coast.
Along the way, they entered one Human Clan tribe after another, changed their appearances, and observed the changes within the Human Clan. They witnessed countless deaths and the birth of innumerable lives.
Newborn members of the Human Clan, Human Clan members dying of old age—the inheritance of the flame spreading from generation to generation was itself a form of reincarnation.
Chen Yang saw much and gradually comprehended many mysteries. Faintly, the seed of reincarnation began to sprout within him.
Secondly, over those thousands of years, Chen Yang and Pingxin's relationship grew increasingly close. After all, they spent every moment together, discussed the Dao constantly, and had their wisdom enhanced. Naturally, they had countless topics to discuss.
As they became more familiar with each other, they grew far more open in conversation. Things Chen Yang had previously dared not ask about, or had concealed, he now spoke of.
Pingxin was the same, telling Chen Yang many things about the Wu Tribe.
Now, as Chen Yang and Pingxin traveled, they began discussing formations once more.
Pingxin said softly, "Chen Yang... you cultivate formations and walk a path ordinary people would not dare to take. Especially in the Daluo Realm, you wish to use your primordial spirit to evolve a grand formation. It is feasible, but if you wish to evolve the Cosmic Star Formation using your primordial spirit, I fear it will be difficult."
"Why? Over these years, I have thought many times about how to use my primordial spirit to evolve the Cosmic Star Formation. In the end, I concluded that the quantity and quality of my primordial spirit are insufficient. So long as I continue strengthening it, I will eventually gather enough," Chen Yang said thoughtfully.
Pingxin sighed. "The Cosmic Star Formation is not as simple as you think. Do you know what quality of primordial spirit, and how much primordial spirit energy, is needed to evolve the Astral Formation using one's primordial spirit?"
"I do not know. Even now, I do not have a concrete number," Chen Yang said heavily.
"Very well, then I shall properly explain the Cosmic Star Formation to you. When the Cosmic Star Formation is mentioned, all living beings of the Primordial World believe it to be the masterpiece of the Demon Clan. In truth, that is not the case. This formation originated with the Eastern Sovereign, who created its rough framework. After the Eastern Sovereign fell, Dijun obtained this unfinished grand formation and gradually perfected it, making it the foundation of the Demon Clan today," Pingxin said slowly.
"The Cosmic Star Formation was not created by Dijun? It was actually created by the Eastern Sovereign!" Chen Yang's expression filled with surprise.
Pingxin nodded and continued, "Speaking of which, you and the Eastern Sovereign both walk the path of formations. Thus, throughout his life, the Eastern Sovereign created countless formations. Among the famous ones were the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Formation, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Formation, the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends Formation, the Myriad Immortals Formation...
These many formations forged the Eastern Sovereign's strength. The Myriad Immortals Formation in particular, once evolved to its limit, would not be inferior to the current Cosmic Star Formation. However, the conditions required to set up the Myriad Immortals Formation were far too complicated and harsh. Therefore, after comprehending the stars filling the heavens, the Eastern Sovereign created the Cosmic Star Formation. Unfortunately, he fell after completing only more than half of it."
"So that was how it was... I had always been somewhat puzzled. Dijun does not cultivate formations, and there are no formation masters among the Demon Clan, so how could they have created the 'Cosmic Star Formation'? The path of formations is unlike other Great Paths. It requires accumulation and countless foundational formations before one can create a grand formation step by step. Without sufficient accumulation, creating a grand formation out of thin air is simply unrealistic. Now I finally understand. This Cosmic Star Formation came from the Eastern Sovereign's hand; Dijun merely perfected it," Chen Yang said with emotion.
"Yes. Dijun does not cultivate the Formation Dao, so he simply does not possess the qualifications to create the 'Cosmic Star Formation,'" Pingxin continued.
"Pingxin... are you saying the Cosmic Star Formation and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation are equal in power?" Chen Yang asked doubtfully.
Pingxin nodded without concealing anything. "Chen Yang... do you know how the stars filling the heavens came to be?"
"Of course I do. The stars filling the heavens were transformed from Great God Pangu's hair. The Lunar Star and the Solar Star were transformed from Great God Pangu's eyes, while it is said that the Purple Tenuity Star was transformed from Great God Pangu's brow bone. Hiss... primordial spirit—it is the primordial spirit..." Chen Yang thought of something and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Correct. The essence of the Cosmic Star Formation is to gather Father God's primordial spirit. The stars filling the heavens were transformed from Father God's hair, and hair grows upon the head, representing a person's wisdom while also carrying traces of the primordial spirit.
"The Solar Star and Lunar Star were transformed from Father God's eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul and are also connected to the primordial spirit.
"As for the Purple Tenuity Star, that is true as well. It was transformed from Father God's brow bone, which is why it can command the myriad stars. Thus, once the Cosmic Star Formation is evolved, it gathers Father God's primordial spirit. The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation, meanwhile, summons Father God's physical body. When Father God's primordial spirit and physical body clash, which do you think is stronger, and which weaker?" Pingxin said quietly.
"They are equal. Great God Pangu's primordial spirit and physical body should have been in an equal state. Therefore, the Cosmic Star Formation and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation should also be equal in power," Chen Yang said solemnly.
"Correct... the two grand formations are equal in power.
"However, the Wu Tribe's Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation can now defeat the Cosmic Star Formation. The core reason is that the Cosmic Star Formation perfected by Dijun contains a flaw. This flaw is something Dijun cannot mend, no matter how much he wishes to. After all, the Cosmic Star Formation was not originally created by him, and he has little research into formations, so it is extremely difficult for him to perfect it," Pingxin said slowly.
Chen Yang sucked in a breath of cold air. "Fortunately, fortunately... I had hoped to obtain the Cosmic Star Formation from the Demon Clan and then evolve it with my own primordial spirit. But now I know that the Demon Clan's Cosmic Star Formation has flaws. Moreover, the Cosmic Star Formation represents Great God Pangu's primordial spirit. If I inscribe this formation within my primordial spirit, it would be equivalent to transforming my primordial spirit into the form of Great God Pangu's primordial spirit... To complete such an idea, truly, truly... who knows how many eras it would take!"
"I fear that by then, I would have no hope of reaching the Daluo Realm in this lifetime..."
The two continued traveling for another hundred years.
One day, Chen Yang suddenly stopped.
"Pingxin, let us find a nearby Human Clan tribe. I wish to make a breakthrough."
"A breakthrough into the Daluo Realm?" Pingxin asked.
"Correct... I have remained at Immortal Great Unity for several thousand years now. Over the years, my cultivation realm has long since stabilized," Chen Yang said.
"Very well, I shall accompany you. By the way, I have gained some insights as well and need to borrow your treasure to enhance my wisdom," Pingxin said.
Chen Yang nodded. Over the years, whenever Pingxin gained insight, she relied on wisdom to digest it.
There was no other way. The Wu Tribe did not cultivate primordial spirits, so spiritual treasures that enhanced comprehension had no effect on them.
Treasures that enhanced wisdom, on the other hand, could deepen their comprehension of their own Great Paths.
In the blink of an eye, several years passed.
Over those years, they traveled across the land and finally found a tribe.
Not long after settling down, Chen Yang prepared to enter seclusion and make his breakthrough.
Within the tribe, at a place where formations interwove.
Chen Yang sat there, devouring spiritual energy as he prepared to break through.
Pingxin remained outside as his Dao protector.
Now that Chen Yang had entered seclusion to cultivate, countless resources were absorbed in one go.
"Slaughter Immortals Sword Formation!"
Chen Yang gritted his teeth. "Inscribe..."
In an instant, the sword qi Chen Yang had cultivated within his body surged into his meridians and into his lower dantian...
Rolling Sword Essence was like something tearing apart chaos itself. Combined with Chen Yang's primordial spirit, it interwove one special formation pattern after another.
Those formation patterns arranged themselves and entered Chen Yang's body through a unique method.
At that moment, Chen Yang could clearly feel the boiling sword qi throughout his body, as well as the cries of clashing swords.
Not only that, vast killing intent also surged forth.
Chen Yang understood these changes well and had long since grown familiar with them. After all, he had felt the same sensation when he previously inscribed the 'Slaying Immortals Sword Formation.'
Several hundred years later, Pingxin also awoke from her enlightenment and looked toward the place where the formations interwove.
Chen Yang within the formation was filled with an incomparably sharp aura.
That aura contained boundless sharp Sword Dao and also interwove the Slaying Immortals Sword Intent and Slaughter Immortals Sword Intent.
The two kinds of sword qi surged into the heavens, carrying endless slaughter.
Pingxin murmured, "Using formation inscription to break through? That is somewhat similar to the Wu Tribe! Our Wu Tribe is born with Great Paths within our bodies. So long as our physical bodies become strong enough, the Great Paths contained within us naturally grow stronger. Chen Yang, meanwhile, tempers his physical body and uses formation inscription to strengthen the Formation Dao within his body."
As Pingxin spoke, she sensed the sharp sword qi and Chen Yang, who was gradually awakening.
Without question, Chen Yang had now perfectly inscribed the 'Slaughter Immortals Sword Formation.'
Within Chen Yang's lower dantian floated a strange character. This character was not Dao Script, but a kind of writing difficult to describe.
However, Chen Yang could clearly sense that this character was called: Slaughter!
