In the forbidden land of the Eastern Immortal Fantasy Continent, the Gods and Devils Cemetery, the Gravekeeper gazed at the western horizon and gave a strange look to the phantom of a young man beside him.
"Are you sure that kid isn't the reincarnation of my bastard grandson?"
Previously, the transformation of the Ancestral Dragon Vein in the core area of the righteous forces had already alarmed him. He never expected that after only a year of peace, that kid would cause such a huge commotion again.
"No!"
The youthful phantom decisively rejected the idea, but he was also quite puzzled. After all, the boy's performance was far too monstrous. He was likely the reincarnation of a powerful figure, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the astonishing things the boy had shown.
"Then explain why that kid used the name ' Dugu Qiubai ' before? There aren't many people in the world with the surname Dugu, and besides your family, who else would dare to use such an arrogant name?"
The Gravekeeper glanced at it sideways, clearly not believing the young man's illusory words.
Did he know how arrogant this son-in-law was, bearing the name of Dugu Baitian, and that his son was also called Dugu Xiaobai? They were cut from the same cloth.
It's not impossible that the reincarnation of that scoundrel could conjure up such an arrogant title as Dugu Qiubai.
Indeed, that young phantom was the remnant soul of the ancient forbidden Great God Dugu Baitian, and his wife was the disciple of the Gravekeeper.
The series of earth-shattering events had awakened him from his slumber, which allowed the Gravekeeper to sense him and reveal himself to him.
Faced with the Gravekeeper questioning, Dugu Baitian remained silent, his doubts growing even stronger.
Perhaps that kid really is related to his son. After all, his son is just as cunning as he is, and might have left behind some hidden tricks that he doesn't know about.
This incident caused quite a stir, alarming almost all the powerful figures hidden in the Human Realm, who all began to speculate about Wang Hao's identity and origins.
The title of "Dugu Qiubai" that Nangong Xian'er had given Wang Hao back then has led many bigwigs to speculate, since the surname Dugu is a great taboo in the world.
Only that forbidden family would dare to claim such an arrogant title as Dugu Qiubai. Perhaps that kid is just a pawn in that forbidden family's scheme.
Out of fear of that forbidden family, and coupled with the domineering presence Wang Hao displayed, the powerful figures hidden in the Human Realm all decided to temporarily refrain from provoking Wang Hao.
And that's exactly what Wang Hao wanted.
Although he had decided to develop rapidly, there were far too many cunning schemers hidden in the Tomb of the Gods World, and he didn't want to directly confront them before he had truly grown up.
As for being associated with the Dugu Baitian family by the name Dugu Qiubai, that was something he didn't want to see. After all, the Dugu Baitian family had far too many enemies, and they were absolute mortal enemies with those supreme experts like Azure Heaven. Getting involved with them would do more harm than good.
However, since things had come to this point, he had no other way to clear his name, so he could only go down this path to the bitter end, developing himself as quickly as possible. Once he recovered his cultivation and became Heaven-Defying Level powerhouse in this world, everything would be much easier to handle.
At least once he reaches the Heaven-Defying Tier, he can break free from being a pawn and become a player!
A powerful God Emperor Level with the Six Primordial Evil Daos was hiding in the shadows, overseeing the situation. Although many people had designs on his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the old demon suppressed below, they were all cautious and did not show themselves, allowing Wang Hao to survive forty-nine days.
Forty-nine days later, the old demon who had been suppressed again was indeed completely obliterated by the peerless Devil Sword formed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
However, Wang Hao did not waste the time. During the more than one month he was stationed in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he used his True Spirit Will to attach to the Peerless Devil Sword to analyze the old demon's cultivation technique inheritance.
That old demon was, after all, a super-powerful being who had one foot in the Heaven Tier, and his knowledge was of great value, which greatly helped Wang Hao.
However, Wang Hao, who had obtained the old demon's fragmented memories, discovered that this guy was not from the Human Realm, nor even from the Heaven Realm Divine Realm, but was a powerful being from the Sixth Realm.
It's a pity that the other party entered the Human Realm by accident after falling into a spacetime storm; otherwise, Wang Hao could have entered the Sixth Realm by following the other party's trajectory.
After all, compared to the Human Realm, which is full of cunning and treacherous people, the Sixth Realm is much more peaceful, and its land area is far greater than that of the Human Realm, which has been shattered time and time again. It is the perfect base for development.
It is worth mentioning that after completely annihilating the old demon, Ye Zhiqiu and his wife True Person Qingxu, led all the disciples of the Chaos Dao Path to move to the Death Desert. Even the Chaos Dao's own Xuan Mystic Realm was moved here.
There was no other way; the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation deduced by Wang Hao's mountain stronghold was simply too powerful, far surpassing the Dao of Formations foundation of the Chaos Dao Human Realm.
Although the Chaos Dao of the Human Realm also possesses some immortal-grade array inheritances, they can at most contend with God King Level powerhouses, far inferior to the super array like Wang Hao's that directly suppresses Peak God Emperor Level powerhouses.
They're not even on the same level.
Most importantly, the third level of the Formation Character Secret is far too profound; even the God Emperor Level expert of the Chaos Dao would find it extremely difficult to comprehend.
The Third Tier of the Nine Secrets that Wang Hao forged corresponds to the Heaven Realm level, which is the Seventh Tier Immortal God and the Eighth Tier God King level in the Tomb of the Gods World.
However, due to the nature of the Heavenly Dao, the Body Refinement in the Tomb of the Gods World is incomplete. For example, the Heaven Realm should correspond to the Mortal Realm and the Earth Realm, which are three minor realms.
However, the Body Refinement in the Tomb of Gods only has two levels at this realm: the Seventh Tier Immortal God and the Eighth Tier God King. The Ninth Tier God Emperor corresponds to the Taiyi Realm.
Therefore, at the Heaven Realm level, the Body Refinement of the Tomb of the Gods World is missing a minor realm.
The loss of even a minor realm can be quite fatal, especially among the three foundational realms of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal.
If the foundation is not even perfected, it is naturally impossible to condense the Dao Fruit. In terms of foundation, it is far inferior to the Body Refinement of the Primordial World.
Therefore, even the God Emperor Level expert of the Chaos Dao would find it extremely difficult to comprehend the third level of the Formation Character Secret, let alone those God King Immortal God level experts.
Therefore, they eventually had to turn their attention to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which Wang Hao deduced based on the third level of the Formation Character Secret, hoping to indirectly comprehend some of the mysteries of the third level of the Formation Character Secret by studying the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Wang Hao did not object to this; in fact, he welcomed it.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to use the resources of the Chaos Dao and even the entire Six Primordial Evil Daos to rapidly develop his own territory.
At the same time, he needs to further set up another super formation based on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which requires equally astonishing resources.
That's all for now; we'll fill in the details later.
Wang Hao handed the second array diagram he had deduced to True Person Qingxu and his wife, as he would now have to ask them to help him set up an array in the Death Desert.
"Another one, Young Hero Wang! Are you trying to drain the very essence of our Chaos Dao?"
Looking at the resource list displayed in the array diagram, Ye Zhiqiu wore a mournful face, feeling that meeting this kid was a major tragedy in his life.
This array diagram is on par with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, except that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation Array is based on the boundless malevolent energy of the Death Desert and can be integrated with the original ancient array in the Death Desert, thus saving most of the array setup resources.
However, this array diagram is completely incompatible with the Death Desert and cannot take advantage of its Death Desert. The resources required are at least five times that of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Although their Chaos Dao foundation is indeed profound, it cannot withstand such a drain!
"Then you can choose not to take it on!"
With a smile, Wang Hao looked at Ye Zhiqiu and his wife, certain that the couple would not refuse.
Those who can become masters of Dao of Formations formations are all tech geeks, and for tech geeks, nothing is more tempting than new knowledge.
A brand-new, high-level formation is something that someone like Ye Zhiqiu simply cannot refuse.
As expected, Ye Zhiqiu finally nodded in agreement, feeling both pleased and pained.
"Young Master Wang, this Origin Life Absolute Formation seems to be closely related to the previous Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"
True Person Qingxu had briefly glanced at the array diagram, discovered some secrets. According to her guess, this Origin Life Absolute Formation could likely complement the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which would make it quite extraordinary.
"The True Man has discerning eyes; the Origin Life Absolute Formation is indeed Mo Da related to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Once the array is set up, the two great arrays can be merged into one, forming an even stronger array— the Gods and Devils Taiji Grand Formation."
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation represents the ultimate death, while the Origin Life Absolute Formation represents the ultimate life. Although life and death are extremely opposed, they can also depend on and transform into each other.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation represents absolute slaughter; it follows the path of the Devil Dao killing formations of the Chaos Dao.
Such a killing formation is fine for intimidating powerful enemies, but it cannot be used for self-development. Therefore, he needs another large formation to transform the Death Desert and make it suitable for ordinary humans to live in.
After all, ordinary humans are the foundation upon which his established power base is built.
However, Wang Hao's words once again shocked True Person Qingxu and his wife. They had guessed that the two great formations could only complement each other to the limit, but they never expected that they could merge into one and transform into an even stronger formation.
What kind of monster is this?!
"The other materials are easy to find, but the Tree of Life, which is the core of the formation, is hard to come by. According to the ancient records of our sect, there seems to be Tree of Life in the legendary Western Continent, guarded by a race called elves. There seems to be no trace of the Tree of Life in our Eastern Continent."
Suppressing their shock, True Person Qingxu and Ye Zhiqiu exchanged a glance and reluctantly revealed the most precious item on the materials list.
As a grand formation, there is usually a formation eye, which is the foundation and hub of the formation. It is of paramount importance and cannot be missing. Moreover, the higher the level and the more powerful the grand formation, the higher the grade of the formation eye required.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation used seven First-Rate Dragon Vein and 1,300 Dao Soldier refined through sacrifice; naturally, the Origin Life Absolute Formation of the same level could not be inferior.
Wang Hao set his sights on the Tree of Life. Coincidentally, he had comprehended a portion of the Daoist essence of the ancient supreme totem, the Ancient Tree of Life, from Hou Yi Bow. If he could obtain a Tree of Life, he was confident that he could cultivate it into another Ancient Tree of Life.
Therefore, the Tree of Life, as the core of the formation, is of paramount importance. Unfortunately, this thing has never appeared in the Eastern Land Continent; it only exists in the Western Fantasy Continent. Even in the Western Fantasy Continent, it is a top-tier treasure, the only one guarded by the Elf race. It is virtually impossible to obtain it.
However, since Wang Hao proposed using this thing as the array's core, he must have a solution.
"Sect Leader Ye, shouldn't your Six Primordial Evil Daos have some dealings with the Western God Realm in the Heaven Realm?"
Wang Hao asked with a smile, "In the Western Fantasy Continent of the Human Realm, there is indeed only one Tree of Life. It is the lifeblood of the elf race, and there is absolutely no way we can get our hands on it."
However, this thing is not unique in the Western God Realm. Although there aren't many, if you really want to get your hands on one, you can still manage to get one by paying some price.
However, he doesn't want to go to the Heaven Realm right now, so he can only do it through the channels of the Six Primordial Evil Daos.
