Inside Manor No. 119 in the Wuchen Spacetime, a bustling scene unfolded. Spaceships came and went frequently, bringing in large quantities of materials. In order to refine the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, Zhang Junbao exchanged most of the treasures he had obtained on Viska Star for the Virtual Universe Company, which also brought him a great deal of wealth.
However, this wealth did not stay in his hands for long before flowing back into the hands of the Virtual Universe Company.
"What exactly is Your Highness doing? So many spaceships are delivering materials every day; we're busy enough just receiving them," a World Lord Level guard asked another World Lord beside him, watching the spaceships descend once more.
"Who knows? But just looking at the class of these transport ships is already outrageous enough. Each one is at least an F-class ship, and there are even quite a few G-class spaceship. The cargo they carry is absolutely priceless."
"Your Highness is merely at the Universe Level, how could you possess such vast wealth?"
The two World Lord guards were also frustrated. As World Lord, they could purchase treasures with all their wealth without needing F-class spaceships for transportation. However, during this period, more than one hundred F-class spaceships had landed at Manor 119, leaving all the guards in the manor utterly shocked.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao's guard captain, the Immortal God Meng Yi, turned around and glared at the two World Lord, who were immediately too frightened to speak.
"Just focus on your own business. Is His Highness's affairs something you have the right to discuss? If this happens again, I will have the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters investigate you."
The Immortal God Meng Yi said coldly, "His Highness is a disciple of the Chaos City Lord and Primal Secret Region Member. Those Alien Race are eager to find out about His Highness through every means. After His Highness was assassinated in the Golden Crow Hall on Viska Star last time, the company headquarters already suspects that there may be problems within our guard team. If you dare to leak even the slightest information about His Highness at this time, regardless of whether you are working for the Alien Race races, the headquarters will not let you off easily!"
"My lord, we will never dare to do it again!" The two guards of the World Lord were so frightened that they immediately prostrated themselves on the spot, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Being investigated by the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters could mean being subjected to a soul search using secret methods. To ensure that the information of the Primal Secret Region Member is not leaked, the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters will not care about the methods used.
"His Highness, the Iron Fire King, and Venerable Guiyi are doing something extremely mysterious; I'm not even allowed to enter. Even when other princes come to visit, His Highness declines, citing his seclusion." The Immortal God Meng Yi shared the same doubts, but she knew she wasn't qualified to be involved in this secret.
She was merely an Immortal in the Apocalypse Secret Region, and to obtain the position of Zhang Junbao's guard leader and enter the Primal Secret Region was already an extremely rare opportunity for her.
The cultivation environment and Cosmic Energy concentration of the Primal Secret Region are far superior to those of the Apocalypse Secret Region.
The two people with Zhang Junbao now are, respectively, a top-tier Treasure Refining master from the Virtual Universe Company and Zhang Junbao's senior brother, the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Venerable Guiyi. Their identities are far superior to hers, Immortal from the Apocalypse Secret Region, and are not people she can approach at will.
"Now we'll begin refining the Control Core. Junbao, I'll refine it first. Watch carefully as I use my techniques and control the Law Secret Patterns, and try to keep up with my pace," Iron Fire King instructed.
He is the most powerful Treasure Refining master here, and the entire refining process needs to be controlled by him.
"Good!"
After speaking, Zhang Junbao opened his domain, covering the entire surrounding space. After his body fused with the Exquisite Jade, his speed of Law Comprehension was comparable to that of World Lord Level. Moreover, the Space-Time Domain could help Zhang Junbao grasp every detail of the Iron Fire King's core refining process, ensuring that he would not miss any crucial point.
"The idea of using a domain in this way is quite ingenious."
Sensing Zhang Junbao's domain, Iron Fire King and Venerable Guiyi instantly understood his intentions. Both were exceptionally talented geniuses, so they naturally understood Zhang Junbao's desire to use his domain to enhance his comprehension abilities.
They had never thought of this approach before, and secretly praised Zhang Junbao's exceptional comprehension, which was unprecedented.
" Gui Yi, you are responsible for inspecting the core after it has been refined."
"Alright!" Venerable Guiyi nodded.
"According to the design, each pair of cores can work together. Based on the Star layout of the first three diagrams of the Universe Chaos Stele, I use the cores to simulate the Star and can evolve any of the secret techniques of the Universe Chaos Stele!" Zhang Junbao explained.
After numerous discussions, the three finally determined the Law of the entire Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation. The entire array could be controlled at will by the array plate, and even if others understood the structure of the array, they would not be able to break it.
"Indeed, your understanding of the Universe Chaos Stele is extremely profound, and you are also adept at using the secret techniques recorded in the ' Universe Chaos Stele On the Universe ' written by your teacher. You are already qualified to create your own secret techniques." Venerable Guiyi said with satisfaction. From the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, he could already see just how profound Zhang Junbao's understanding of the Cosmic Chaos Stele was.
To integrate the Law Comprehension into the laws within the Universe Chaos Stele into the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, one absolutely cannot do so without a complete and thorough understanding of the Law.
It is already extremely rare for an ordinary genius to comprehend the Law of the Universe Chaos Stele and master the secret techniques recorded in the " On the Universe ". However, Zhang Junbao has completely deconstructed his Law Comprehension and integrated them into his own formation, which is a hundred times more difficult than mastering existing secret techniques.
" The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is my initial attempt at creating a secret technique. If I can complete it, I think my application and integration of the Ten Great Laws will reach a whole new level," Zhang Junbao said confidently.
Venerable Guiyi nodded. Zhang Junbao had been exceeding his and the Chaos City Lord's expectations. Now, even he didn't know how far Zhang Junbao could go.
"We're ready to begin refining, Feitian. You're in charge of allocating the materials. I'm giving you full authority over the allocation of all assets; make sure the supply of materials is guaranteed!"
" Feitian will certainly live up to Master's expectations." Feitian, who looked like a fairy, nodded heavily. Even she could feel the high-spirited atmosphere in the Treasure Refining room.
With the help of Iron Fire King and Venerable Guiyi, Zhang Junbao's refining speed of the array cores is extremely fast. After more than ten years of relentless refining by Zhang Junbao and Iron Fire King, the 14,800 level-3 cores and 365 level-2 cores are almost complete.
At first, the Iron Fire King was the main one for refining, but soon Zhang Junbao gradually became familiar with the refining method and began to work with the Iron Fire King to refine the cores, which instantly improved efficiency.
At this moment, in the Treasure Refining room specially set up by Zhang Junbao in Manor No. 119, two disheveled men, looking like Savage, had their eyes constantly flashing with light as core items were rapidly created in their hands.
The core, once refined, operated continuously according to a wondrous law under the control of Venerable Guiyi, its power growing stronger and stronger.
"Currently, the entire formation does not have a matching first-level core. I can trap and kill the King-level Immortal power simply by simulating a first-level core based on my understanding of the Ten Great Laws."
If Junbao does find a supreme Supreme Treasure -level core that matches the attributes of the Law, as he has envisioned, the power of the entire formation to trap and kill Universe Venerable will be no joke!
This is practically a Domain-type Supreme Treasure in its own right!
After personally controlling the grand formation, Venerable Guiyi felt an even greater fear of the power of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation. It was a grand formation that had merged with the Ten Great Laws, and theoretically possessed infinite possibilities. What was even more terrifying was that this grand formation was not something that could not be improved after it was completed, but rather it could continuously replace its core to enhance its power.
This is a terrifying characteristic that other Heavy Treasure, even Supreme Treasure, do not possess. Ordinary Heavy Treasure or Supreme Treasure cannot be changed at will after they are completed, but some high-level Heavy Treasure or Supreme Treasure have multiple forms, and only after the user's Law Comprehension is improved can a new form be activated.
The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation can also unleash even greater power as the array plate and the user's understanding of the Ten Great Laws continuously improves.
The only drawback is that if the user does not master the Ten Great Laws, they cannot even unleash one percent of the power of this great formation. This treasure is destined to be used only by the most talented geniuses.
"Finally finished! Hahaha..." Iron Fire King exclaimed in amazement as he watched the last core material emerge from Zhang Junbao's hands.
After completing the last core component, Zhang Junbao breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground. Although his body was severely exhausted, his eyes were incredibly bright.
"Quickly, Gui Yi, give it a try!"
Iron Fire King impatiently called on Venerable Guiyi to activate the entire Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, while Zhang Junbao lay down in a Nutrient Pod to recover.
As Immortal Expert at the Peak King, Iron Fire King's physical attributes were naturally countless times stronger than Zhang Junbao's. Over the years, Zhang Junbao's ability to keep up with Iron Fire King's pace was entirely due to the support of the Nutrient Pod. Whenever his Cosmic Energy was depleted, he would lie in the Nutrient Pod to quickly recover his energy.
Over the past decade or so, Zhang Junbao has used the Nutrient Pod over a thousand times. Fortunately, Venerable Guiyi helped him apply for its disposal; otherwise, the Nutrient Pod alone would have been a terrible expense.
With himself as the core, Venerable Guiyi instantly activated the entire Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation.
"Buzz"
The great formation covered Manor No. 119, and everyone in the manor felt as if time and space had suddenly frozen. Even Meng Yi, the Immortal God who was the leader of the guards, was unable to move.
"What's going on? Could it be that some Alien Race is trying to assassinate Your Highness?" Meng Yi was shocked, but at this moment she was unable to move her body and had no power to resist at all.
Needless to say, the other guards were even more affected; their very thoughts were completely frozen in place.
"It's me, don't worry. This is Venerable Guiyi's secret technique. We are deducing the secret technique, not an external enemy." Zhang Junbao's voice rang in Meng Yi's mind, which finally put her at ease.
However, Zhang Junbao pushed the problem onto Venerable Guiyi and did not tell Meng Yi the truth.
"The secret technique of Venerable Guiyi? Is this the terrifying power of Universe Overlord? Facing such a powerful being, I didn't even have the slightest chance to resist!" Meng Yi's mind was filled with nothing but terror.
Inside the Treasure Refining room, Iron Fire King also felt the power of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, but he frowned slightly and tried to raise his arm.
First, his fingers flicked slightly, then his entire upper arm bent, and finally, looking at the raised hands in front of him, Iron Fire King finally discovered the problem.
"No, Gui Yi, your Clone's comprehension of the Ten Great Laws is insufficient, and the formation's evolution is too rigid. Although it can trap different Immortal, someone like me with a profound understanding of the Law can break free even without mastering the Ten Great Laws," said Iron Fire King.
Although he was initially suppressed, he quickly broke free of his restraints, and the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation did not achieve the desired effect.
"You make it sound so easy. Do you know how difficult it is to fuse the Ten Great Laws? If I could truly fuse the Eight Great Fundamental Laws into the Space-Time Law, do you think this Clone of mine would still be trapped in the King Level Immortal for tens of millions of epochs?"
Venerable Guiyi's expression was serious. He discovered that he was unable to fully utilize the power of this formation, which was due to a deficiency in his understanding of the fusion of the Ten Great Laws.
" Law Comprehension of King Level Immortal, he still can't activate the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation. In that case, wouldn't even he himself be unable to activate the Law that were refined for Junbao?" Iron Fire King also saw the problem and glanced at Zhang Junbao in the Nutrient Pod as he spoke.
Every treasure has requirements for its use. Some treasures require World Lord Level to possess the will of King Level, while others require a profound Law Comprehension. Some treasures even have requirements on the user's mental cultivation. If the conditions cannot be met, the treasure cannot unleash its full power.
"It's not that my Law Comprehension is insufficient; I feel the problem lies in the fusion of the Law. My Clone's understanding of the Ten Great Laws cannot be perfectly integrated; there's a certain sense of unfamiliarity and sluggishness. I think this Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation requires the user to perfectly fuse the Ten Great Laws, rather than having such high requirements for the depth of Law Comprehension." Venerable Guiyi dispersed the array, and all the cores floated quietly in the air. Instantly, the oppressive aura within the entire manor vanished.
"Requires the fusion of Law? Such an absurd requirement, I'm afraid there are very few people in the entire universe who can do it, right?" Iron Fire King was shocked. He had seen countless treasures, but this was the first time he had ever heard of a treasure that required the user to have a certain degree of fusion of Law.
Most Heavy Treasure, even Supreme Treasure, have a single attribute, so naturally, the deeper the user's Law Comprehension governing that attribute, the better.
However, the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is different. It is a brand-new array created by Zhang Junbao by integrating the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation recorded in ancient Huaxia, the Viska Star Rune Array, the Law the Universe Chaos Stele, and his True Meaning of Taiji. Apart from him, there is probably no one else who can perfectly drive this treasure.
"Why don't you let me try!"
Zhang Junbao had already stepped out of the Nutrient Pod and said calmly.
"Very well, this treasure was originally prepared for you, so it's best if you drive it. However, your power might be a bit insufficient. This temporary array plate was crafted by me, and I've embedded ten Divine Power Origin Crystal within it as power. You only need to input your Law Comprehension into it, and you can use the array plate's power to drive the entire array."
Iron Fire King took out an Bagua array plate, with eight basic attribute Divine Power Origin Crystal inlaid on each of the eight sides, and Divine Power Origin Crystal containing the power of time and space inlaid in the center.
Divine Power Origin Crystal are one of the most common power sources for mechanical technology weapons. For example, the F-class Laser Gun requires Divine Power Origin Crystal as its power source.
There are also some disposable items, such as ' Fire God Source Crystal ', which is the most easily explosive form of energy. It contains a large amount of compressed flame Immortal God. If detonated, the instantaneous burst of power is comparable to the self-destruction of Immortal God.
Divine Power Origin Crystal are extremely expensive. Even the cheapest Fire God Source Crystal costs between 1 million and 1.5 million Hunyuan Unit. As for the Divine Spirit Origin Crystal, which Power of Law time and space, only Universe Venerable can condense them, and each one is worth more than 5 million Hunyuan Unit.
The Divine Power Origin Crystal embedded in this array plate alone are worth over 20 million Hunyuan Unit!
However, compared to those cores that Zhang Junbao spent nearly 3 billion Hunyuan Unit to build, the price of this array plate is already quite cheap.
Zhang Junbao took the array plate, opened his domain, and slowly infiltrated the array plate with his Spiritual Force. His Spiritual Force seemed to be instantly amplified within the array plate and rapidly transmitted to each core.
Suddenly, the previously still core began to spin rapidly, moving in the air in a wondrous trajectory, with each component working in perfect harmony without the slightest lag.
" From Chaos arose Taiji, from Taiji came Yin and Yang, from Yin and Yang came the Four Symbols, from the Four Symbols came the Bagua, and from the Bagua all things..."
The True Meaning of Taiji emerged in Zhang Junbao's mind. At this moment, the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation was like a miniature universe, with each core representing a star field in the universe.
Under Zhang Junbao's control, Manor 119 was once again enveloped by the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation. However, this time it was different from the control by Venerable Guiyi. The surrounding space began to become chaotic and viscous. Those trapped in it had no idea where they were. The surrounding space and time were all hazy.
"What's going on this time?" The Immortal God Meng Yi was filled with doubt once again. This seemingly chaotic spacetime was driving her completely mad. This time, the surrounding spacetime did not forcibly imprison her, but whenever she tried to do something, she was always led astray by the power of the Space-Time Law, as if a strange force was guiding her actions.
Venerable Guiyi also sensed the difference between the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation controlled by Zhang Junbao and his own. He forcibly imprisoned everyone in the array, but Zhang Junbao did not waste his power to forcefully suppress them. Instead, he followed the power of others and guided it.
This method not only consumes very little energy, but also achieves unexpected results. The principle of using minimal force to achieve maximum effect still works even at the level of Immortal.
Venerable Guiyi attempted to launch a secret attack, aiming it directly forward, but the technique was inexplicably distorted by the surrounding spacetime, turning it towards him instead.
"Hahaha, this is the true power of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation. The Star Shifting, just like the movement of Star in the universe, incredibly flexible. The entire array moves according to the Controller's will, and time, space, and even the execution rules of the Ten Great Laws can be changed at the Controller's discretion."
The directions above, below, and around are no longer the same, and time and space are not as they used to be. Spacetime is not simply distorted, but is constantly changing.
Compared to him, Gui Yi, the formation you control is as lifeless and rigid as a corpse." Iron Fire King laughed heartily, finally seeing the terrifying potential of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation.
Iron Fire King flicked a piece of metal from his hand, but instead of falling, the metal flew around randomly in space, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, with no discernible pattern.
"This is the prototype of a true Universe Master Control of Space-Time. The current Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is already a prototype of Domain-type Supreme Treasure. As long as the right core is found, it will definitely be a true Domain-type Supreme Treasure! Hahaha..."
Although Iron Fire King's eyes were bloodshot, he was still extremely excited. He had created the prototype of a Supreme Treasure, and soon he would be able to create the real Supreme Treasure.
Zhang Junbao also showed him another function of the treasure: it's not just about slashing and brute force suppression; control is what makes a Domain-type Supreme Treasure truly terrifying.
Trapped within the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, Iron Fire King understood that unless he unleashed the power of a top-tier Universe Venerable to completely suppress the surrounding spacetime, anyone would be unknowingly controlled by the array.
The fact that the secret technique nearly struck Venerable Guiyi was a good example. Venerable Guiyi was extremely frustrated. Unless he unleashed his full power to forcibly break through the surrounding space-time, he would eventually be killed by Zhang Junbao.
But the power that Zhang Junbao is currently wielding is only at the Immortal Level. When Zhang Junbao truly becomes Immortal, how terrifying will the power of the great formation be when he uses his own power to drive it!
"Teacher, I'm afraid even you didn't expect that Junior Brother has already reached this level! This junior brother, who is merely at the Universe Level, has actually made me feel a sense of threat!"
Even Kedi back then couldn't have done this! Venerable Guiyi thought to himself.
