Conflict, Setting Up the Formation
Three days later, Liu Yi finished his cultivation and opened the system forum to see the reaction after the Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root was launched.
He figured that after three days of fermentation, someone should have discovered and redeemed it, so he could see how it performed and what reviews people had.
"My God! The system is even selling Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root now! I wonder if anyone has bought them? And how effective are they?"
"That's amazing! I bought Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root yesterday, and after just one day of cultivation, I broke through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer."
Compared to the previous Three Spirit Root, the cultivation speed is much faster, almost like flying on a sword!
"I'd like to ask if there are any side effects to Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root? Is the implantation method really as described in the introduction, where you can just inhale it as Spiritual Qi?"
"Personally tested! Implantation is super simple, just like absorbing Spiritual Qi, directly inhaling it into the body. So far, I haven't noticed any side effects!"
"Hahaha, I'm a genius now! Those people Innate Heavenly Spirit Root used to be so arrogant."
Now the System Store directly sells Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root. From now on, everyone will have Heavenly Spirit Root. Let's see how arrogant they can still be then!
"That's right! Why should they, with their Heavenly Spirit Root, not have to operate the Spiritual Qi conversion array, while we have to be treated like slaves?"
I used to be a beast of burden in the mortal world, and now that I'm in a cultivation sect, I still have to be a beast of burden? I refuse to accept this!
Now that we have Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, bridging the gap in our aptitudes, it's uncertain who will be stronger in the future!
"I need to save up Energy Points to buy Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root! I don't know how long it will take to save up 1 million Energy Points, but it's much better than before. At least now there's hope."
"Hmph, how could Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root compare to a naturally born Heavenly Spirit Root? You think you can surpass those with Innate Heavenly Spirit Root? Dream on!"
"That's right, Innate Heavenly Spirit Root is always superior to Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root!"
"Is that so? Wait until we use Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root to surpass all of you so-called Innate Heavenly Spirit Root, then you'll see which is truly superior!"
Liu Yi scrolled through the various reactions in the comments section and nodded in satisfaction.
It seems the Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root is working well; no abnormal problems have been found so far.
More importantly, a subtle antagonistic trend has emerged between cultivators who purchase Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root and those who Innate Heavenly Spirit Root.
In this way, the method of internally dividing the cultivation forces seems to be truly feasible.
However, it's too early to tell what level it will ultimately reach; we'll have to wait and see.
Within his Dantian World, Liu Yi's Divine Sense merged with the Heavenly Dao, carefully sensing the situation of the entire world.
Today, the diameter of the Dantian World has reached 300 million kilometers. The entire world is still desolate, but a faint vitality is quietly brewing beneath the barrenness.
Deep within the Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc is slowly turning, but no souls have yet entered the cycle of reincarnation.
This world now possesses over 4,300 perfected Great Dao Principle, an increase of more than 1,000 since the Heaven-Opening time.
Some of these were discovered by Liu Yi himself, while many more were born naturally as the world operated, and all the Great Dao Principle were more perfect than when the world was first Heaven-Opening.
The accumulated World Origin transformed into a lake approximately 100 kilometers in size.
At this point, Liu Yi's Dantian World had met the conditions for advancing to Small World, but Liu Yi did not advance immediately.
He discovered that the Dantian World had not yet reached the limit of the Grotto-Heaven World and could still continue to grow.
Therefore, he decided to wait until he had developed his Grotto-Heaven World to its limit before advancing to Small World, so that he could lay a more solid foundation.
Liu Yi looked out at the boundless Chaos Sea beyond the world, only to see that the chaotic world was still a hazy gray, with the surging Chaos Qi constantly pounding against the world's crystal walls.
With a slight thought, the 365 main stars and 129,600 auxiliary stars within his Dantian World, along with countless other stars, projected their illusory images outwards.
However, the moment these star projections touched the chaos beyond the world, they were instantly swallowed up and annihilated by the raging Chaos Qi.
Liu Yi was not surprised by this result.
The next moment, all the star projections rearranged themselves according to some mysterious trajectory, transforming into a Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation.
This formation was inspired by Spiritual Qi Conversion Grand Formation he obtained from a cultivation sect.
It was created by combining various formations recorded in the System Store with the principle of absorbing and transforming Chaos Qi in the world.
Its core function is to assist the Dantian World in absorbing and transforming Chaos Qi more quickly, accelerating the accumulation of the World Origin, and laying a solid foundation for subsequent advancement.
However, the great formation had only been in place for three breaths when Chaos Qi and dissipated.
Liu Yi immediately began to deduce the results based on the experimental data he had obtained.
A short while later, the new version of the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation was formed again, and this time it resisted the Chaos Qi for 10 breaths before disappearing.
He then began to analyze and deduce, and continued the experiment, repeating this process more than a thousand times.
The new version of the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation trembled continuously under the impact of the Chaos Qi, but it was not immediately destroyed.
"Haha, after so many experiments, I finally succeeded! I really am a genius."
Next, he infused the World Origin into all the star projections, transforming them into physical entities.
With a "hum", the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation burst forth with dazzling star power.
In an instant, it suppressed and refined the Chaos Qi surrounding the world into the World Origin.
The speed at which the Dantian World transforms Chaos Qi into the World Origin has increased tenfold.
The World Origin, which had been completely depleted, began to rapidly increase.
After checking and confirming that the formation was functioning properly, he turned his gaze back to the Multiverse where the Azure Billows Realm was located.
That Multiverse was vast and boundless; compared to it, the Dantian World was still as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Yet, beneath this powerful world, a sinister aura lurks.
He didn't understand what the problem was, so he could only slowly manipulate his Dantian World, moving it away from the Multiverse.
If the Multiverse where the Azure Billows Realm is located cannot withstand the evil forces, the inner world will become its last resort.
Afterwards, Liu Yi withdrew from the state of being in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and then set off to other inner worlds to continue setting up the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation.
The development of the other internal worlds and the Dantian World is almost the same, after setting up the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation.
This drives these inner worlds toward moving away from the Multiverse.
With a "whoosh," Liu Yi opened his eyes, his gaze cold and ruthless, like the unfeeling Heavenly Dao high above.
Deep within one's eyes, countless worlds are born and die, and the evolutionary trajectory of the Three Thousand Great Daos flows endlessly within them.
His entire aura was equally cold and ruthless, carrying an aura of Heavenly Dao authority.
He quickly returned to normal, a hint of lingering fear showing on his face.
"I never imagined that being in harmony with the Heavenly Dao for so long would almost affect my character, turning me into a cold and heartless person."
"If you become a heartless and desireless person, what's the point of living? You'd probably just be a living dead."
"It seems that in the future, it's best to avoid aligning with the Heavenly Dao unless absolutely necessary. It's too easy to be influenced by it, and then it's hard to say whether you'll still be yourself in the end."
