Upon receiving Zhang Junbao's email, Iron Fire King rushed over in a flurry. He had heard that Zhang Junbao wanted to forge an extremely complex treasure and had even purchased a large amount of precious materials for it, so he came specifically for this purpose.
" Iron Fire King, the treasure I've crafted this time is also for comprehending the Law. I previously obtained a lot of rune-related inheritances on Viska Star, and I'm taking this opportunity to transform them into my own insights." Zhang Junbao felt a strong sense of kinship upon seeing Iron Fire King.
When he was on Viska Star, he was saved many times by the Divine Fire Armor given to him by the Iron Fire King, Iron Fire King had no interest in him whatsoever. The two were both teacher and friend, which fits Zhang Junbao's image of a fellow Daoist.
Therefore, the treasures needed to refine this great formation were intended for Iron Fire King to provide guidance.
" Treasure Refining and cultivating have never been in conflict. Everyone comprehends the Universe's Origin of Laws in different ways. Some people like to sit in meditation, while others prefer to travel around. I, on the other hand, enjoy refining treasures. The birth of each treasure represents a deeper understanding of the Law. When I am able to refine Supreme Treasure, I will be able to step into the realm of Universe Venerable." Iron Fire King was well aware that Zhang Junbao, the Treasure Refiner, was trying to comprehend the mysteries of the Universe Laws. The two of them were on the same path, though their methods differed.
"Refine Supreme Treasure? The grand formation I'm about to refine, if its power is fully unleashed, could probably rival Ordinary Supreme Treasure!" Zhang Junbao said confidently.
"Power comparable to Ordinary Supreme Treasure? You little brat, you're just bragging. How long have you been learning to refine Supreme Treasure? You want to refine a supreme treasure? Did you go crazy on Viska Star?" Iron Fire King said disdainfully. He would never believe that Zhang Junbao could refine Supreme Treasure. Even now, he wouldn't dare to say that he was absolutely confident in refining Supreme Treasure.
This is also why he, along with Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Golden Crow, ventured into the universe together back then, but while the two of them have already broken through to become Universe Venerable, he remains Immortal at the Peak King.
Iron Fire King has great ambitions. He wants to use his insights into crafting treasures to create a Supreme Treasure for himself, thereby advancing to the level of Universe Venerable.
It should be understood that it is already extremely rare for an ordinary Universe Venerable to possess one or two Advanced Heavy Treasure. As for Supreme Treasure, they are absolutely rare and hard to come by. Most Universe Venerable do not possess Supreme Treasure; only the true overlords among the Universe Venerable are qualified to possess Supreme Treasure.
Of course, a very small number of Immortal and invincible super geniuses also possess Supreme Treasure, but even in the entire universe, these are extremely rare.
Iron Fire King wanted to forge Supreme Treasure best suited for his own use, integrate it with the Universe Laws he had comprehended, and break through to become Universe Venerable. In this way, he could become a Universe Overlord, with strength approaching that of Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Golden Crow.
Seeing the disbelieving look on Iron Fire King's face, Zhang Junbao didn't care. Back when the two of them looked down on each other, Iron Fire King had often put on this act. Zhang Junbao was really looking forward to seeing Iron Fire King get humiliated and embarrassed.
"Don't rush. This is the treasure I'm refining this time— the Control Core of a grand formation. It has 365 level-two cores and 14,800 level-three cores. As for the most important level-one cores, I estimate they need to be at Advanced Heavy Treasure, or even Supreme Treasure treasures!"
"The combined power of the entire formation is absolutely comparable to that of Ordinary Supreme Treasure. If a Supreme Treasure could be used as its core, its power would undoubtedly be enhanced even further!"
Zhang Junbao said confidently.
"Three hundred and sixty-five level-two cores and fourteen thousand eight hundred level-three cores—what kind of treasure are you trying to forge that's so complicated?"
Upon hearing Zhang Junbao's plan, Iron Fire King was also taken aback.
"That's right, what I'm going to refine this time is the core of a great array. It took me nearly fifty years to completely integrate the entire array with the pattern burned on the Universe Chaos Stele."
This includes the blueprints for the grand formation, as well as my Law Comprehension.
With a casual wave of Feitian hand, Zhang Junbao presented the Iron Fire King with the Law Comprehension that Zhang Junbao had comprehended over the years.
Iron Fire King originally thought that Zhang Junbao, a Universe Level being, couldn't possibly comprehend anything too complex, but when he saw the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation after the fusion of the Universe Chaos Stele, he was instantly mesmerized.
Half a day later, Iron Fire King finally came to his senses and looked at Zhang Junbao in disbelief, saying, "This is the great formation you comprehended? You used a large number of cores to continuously amplify the power of the True Eye, and finally expanded the components into an extremely terrifying formation."
Even the protective spacetime array outside the Wuchen Spacetime is probably no match for yours!
The 136 Star surrounding Wuchen Spacetime continuously rotate in incredibly mysterious trajectories, evolving the Time Law and the development of space, causing the void where the 136 stars are located to call itself a Spacetime, thus forming an incomparably powerful protective force.
Within the formation provided by Zhang Junbao, Iron Fire King saw a shadow of Wuchen Spacetime, but the idea behind this formation was definitely even more insane than that of Wuchen Spacetime.
"The formation you've comprehended is truly insane! If this formation were set up in any spacetime, it could probably trap countless King-level Immortal, and even Universe Venerable would suffer greatly if trapped within it."
"But this formation requires an enormous amount of manpower and resources; I'm afraid it's not something you can complete by yourself," Iron Fire King said in surprise.
"It's alright. I never intended to complete the entire formation in one go. It's bound to be a long process. This time, I've only refined 365 level-two cores and 14,800 level-three cores. As for level-one cores, we'll have to consider that later," Zhang Junbao said.
Although he wanted to use the Ancestral God Lingxi as the foundation of the entire Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, the Ancestral God Lingxi was too sensitive, and Zhang Junbao dared not reveal it at all, not even in front of the Iron Fire King.
The only way forward is to first improve his own skill in crafting treasures, and then consider crafting the Ancestral God Lingxi.
"That's all we can do. Your grand formation has given me some inspiration. However, regarding the control of the grand formation, I suggest you refine a formation plate to use for controlling it. Otherwise, having to enter the grand formation yourself to control it at all times is not a good option." Iron Fire King, with his extensive experience, immediately saw the problem with Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation.
"Array formation?"
"That's right. Some powerful Heavy Treasure, even Supreme Treasure, are actually divided into several parts, including the array base and array plate. The array base of a large array is composed of the core that displays its power, which is your level 2 core and level 3 core. However, for the level 1 core, I suggest replacing it with a Supreme Treasure treasure."
"This Supreme Treasure needs to be crafted for the entire grand formation; it's a microcosm of the formation, with the core of the array plate made of Supreme Treasure- grade materials. The difference lies in maximizing the power of the entire formation after activation," Iron Fire King said excitedly.
"Generally speaking, the treasures of cultivators can be divided into four categories: weapons, armor, palaces, and Domain Type."
Among them, the most precious are palace-type treasures and Domain Type. These two types are also the most complex, but even they are still rarely as complex as this grand formation, which consists of tens of thousands of core components.
Domain Type treasures are the most valuable in terms of attributes, but the results are usually not too complex, while palace-type treasures are the largest in size, but not every component needs to be able to stand alone as a treasure.
"The most amazing thing about your grand formation is that each of its cores can be replaced. How terrifying it would be if all the cores of the entire battle were made of Supreme Treasure- level materials!"
At that time, even suppressing Universe Venerable would be a piece of cake!
He was eager to see just how terrifying the power of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, activated by a Supreme Treasure- level array plate, would be.
Upon hearing Iron Fire King's words, Zhang Junbao had already made up his mind: the core of the array plate could be made by the Ancestral God Lingxi.
The entire formation has countless variations, and the Ancestral God Lingxi Rhinoceros points to one of these variations. The Ancestral God Lingxi, as the core of the formation plate, is perfectly capable of activating the power of tens of thousands of Star. However, this means that the materials for the formation plate will become another headache for Zhang Junbao.
After all, materials in the universe that can complement a treasure like the Ancestral God Lingxi Rhinoceros are extremely rare.
"Hey you two, are you trying to create a top-tier secret realm in the universe?"
How could the arrival of the Iron Fire King be kept secret from Venerable Guiyi? He just didn't expect that the Iron Fire King and Zhang Junbao, these two Madman, one old and one young, would start to devise a shocking idea as soon as they got together.
Even Venerable Guiyi was terrified. He was clearly the most powerful person here, so why did he feel so intimidated in front of the two of them?
One is a Universe Level being, and the other is a King-level Immortal. The two of them talk about suppressing the Venerable when they open their mouths and about creating Supreme Treasure when they close their mouths. Venerable Guiyi felt that even he, a Universe Venerable, would not dare to think like this.
"You don't understand the secrets of this great formation at all. It's like treating all the Star in the surrounding spacetime as a component of a treasure. Within the spacetime covered by the formation, all the Star and the core of the formation are injecting invisible and endless power into it."
"Are Universe Venerable strong? Once this great formation is completed, I can say that I can take on ten Venerable like you!" Iron Fire King glanced at Venerable Guiyi and said disdainfully.
"Bullshit! You think you can fight me? Even if I stand at the core of your great formation, you can't hurt a hair on my head. The Venerable is not as simple as you think."
Every Venerable is an existence who has thoroughly comprehended the Space Law. The spatial and temporal secrets you use are not secrets at all in front of us; they are full of loopholes and can be easily broken.
Suppressing Universe Venerable is not so easy!
Venerable Guiyi said with dissatisfaction.
"That's true. After all, we are not the Universe Master and cannot completely control a spacetime. With our combined understanding of the Law, it would be difficult to create an array that can suppress Universe Venerable." Iron Fire King glanced at Venerable Guiyi with ill intent and said.
"I initially thought you were getting in the way, but it turns out you're actually quite useful. Alright, Gui Yi, Junbao build the formation, and you'll be responsible for correcting any flaws in its Law. Don't tell me you, a dignified Universe Venerable, can't detect the flaws in the formation!"
"When did I agree to help you?" Venerable Guiyi was shocked by the shamelessness of Iron Fire King. He had only said a few words, yet he had been dragged into this mess as a laborer.
"Hehe, once this grand formation is completed, I'm confident I can forge my own Supreme Treasure. When that happens, I'll release the news, and guess how many Venerable will line up to help me?" Iron Fire King said confidently.
As the top Treasure Refining master of the Virtual Universe Company, even some Universe Venerable have to give him some face. In fact, when Iron Fire King needs help, many Venerable will come to assist him, just so that Iron Fire King can help them refine treasures.
It can be said that as long as the Iron Fire King releases the message that he is preparing to refine Supreme Treasure, a large number of Universe Venerable will definitely come to his command. At that time, Venerable Guiyi will really have nothing to do!
