As the first grain of sand fell from Mi's hourglass, the new Sect Protection Array of Luochen Sword Palace was finally deployed.

The Sword Intents of the three Great Elders from Luochen Sword Palace transformed into pills, depicting the beginning. However, unlike Zhen Chan who always maintained the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Pill Path, preserving a "primordial" true intent, they perfected into a sphere, encompassing all things.

As if opening the heavens.

At this moment, the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth intertwined, Spiritual Energy began to depart from the vitality brought by sunlight, starting to settle, to hide. Within this slowly descending nature's spiritual energy, the Sword Intent Pill rose like a bright moon emerging from the sea, standing high, causing nature's spiritual energy to surge like a tide.

Sword Intent, originally formed by the power of the Divine Soul mixed with cultivation Sword Qi. After drinking deeply of nature's spiritual energy, the Sword Pill transformed into the Tai Chu Form, Innate Qi—Innate Sword Qi.

In the underground city of Spirit Phoenix Island, many cultivators watched here, either intoxicated by the Sword Intent or maliciously probing for flaws in the Sword Array.

Then, like the rising and setting of the sun, this Tai Chu Innate Sword Qi Sword Pill traced a beautiful arc across the underground city's dome, slowly descending towards the Kan Position of Luochen Sword Palace.

The Post-Heaven Eight Diagrams, starting from Kan Position,

The Tai Chu Innate Sword Pill flowed like water, circulating throughout the Sword Palace's Sword Array. It seemed like Innate Water, silently dissolving everything. Even the Sword Qi, Mana Power Intent, of every Sword Palace Disciple became a part of this Sword Array.

This does not harm the cultivation of these Sword Palace Disciples but gathers a thread of power from within them, concentrating everyone's strength to imbue the Sword Array with spirituality.

The three Great Elders developed this Sword Array based on the day they observed the Divine Country of the Holy Emperor Venerable. Thus, their Sword Intent Formation carried a hint of the Divine Tao.

Feeling the slight external suction of power, a sharp light flashed in Wang Qi's eyes, and he thought secretly, "As expected... proceed with Plan C."

In an instant, Wang Qi motivated mana, pushing the Pseudo Sword Intent to the extreme. Like the peerless Sword Intent of the Shura Battle Blade pointing to Changkong. This sudden rise made the high-level members of Luochen Sword Palace secretly marvel, "Did Xia Li that guy, reach enlightenment?"

Enlightenment is the creation that Ancient Method Practitioners dream of. Nobody knows how to achieve it or how to reach it. But everyone knows that once enlightened, one's strength must be enhanced.

Outside the Sword Palace, many High Order cultivators secretly marveled, "Where does this junior come from? Such pure killing Sword Intent!"

However, they did not know that Wang Qi's real purpose in displaying this Sword Intent and Sword Qi was not to seek resonance or comprehend the Sword Intent of the three Great Elders.

The soaring Sword Intent, like a solid Invisible Sword, was essentially a signal tower, broadcasting a special new signal to the surroundings.

All cultivators infected by Wang Qi's Divine Plague Curse Technique felt a tremor in their bodies, as their mana and essence inexplicably accelerated in loss. However, their judgment was slightly disturbed by the Divine Plague Curse, and they still did not realize that this inexplicable loss of power was surging out from the newly refined Divine Plague Curse technique.

Moreover, it was surging out in a specific way.

In their eyes, this was a side effect of the three Great Elders' Array.

Amid the tide of spiritual power known by the three Great Elders, Wang Qi connected all individuals infected by the Divine Plague Curse Technique. His consciousness once again departed from the confines of his physical body, beginning to roam in a broader virtual space.

And this stage, for Wang Qi, was also the most dangerous.

——————————————————————————————————

In the Jinshen Hall, the Holy Emperor Venerable slightly frowned.

He had long known about the Array Diagram of Luochen Sword Palace and knew that this new Sect Protection Array posed no obstacle to him.

Everything that happened within the Human Dao under his control, he could know about it all.

However, inexplicably, he just felt that within his Divine Country, a mysterious will had appeared again.

"Could it be, that person?"

"Has that person come again?"

The Holy Emperor Venerable stood up, surveying his entire kingdom.

——Where?

——Could it be Luochen Sword Palace?

——Does he want to use Luochen Sword Palace...

Suddenly, the Holy Emperor Venerable looked towards the west, in the direction of the Ghost Black Market.

In the eyes of this Banished Immortal, a cold light flashed.

"Dare to come here again."

————————————————————————————————————————————

Mi's "soul", or thinking organ, was different from the life beings of Shenzhou, so there was no Array on Spirit Phoenix Island that could block her. Her thoughts penetrated space, connecting the human clan bodies in the underground city of Spirit Phoenix Island and the original form of the Sea God type in the sea.

When the last grain of sand fell from her hourglass, waves rose in the Ghost Black Market's center without wind, and a small bottle was thrown high.

Three months was enough for Mi to expand her body to the Shenzhou Continent by borrowing ocean currents.

Mi's original form of the Sea God type, with its slender shape, connecting Wang Qi to the Shenzhou Continent like a fiber optic cable. However, this cable was not so simple, Mi could not only transmit information but also transport some small things across.

This small bottle was something Mi transported across the East Sea to the continent.

Inside the half-transparent jade bottle, a golden flame danced.

If any of Bai Lianxun, Hu Xuanjia, or Xie Ying'er were here, they would recognize it as the "Boluo Divine Flame" that appeared in the Ghost Black Market that day!

Under the beat of the "waves", the bottle was opened. Then, a strand of golden flame floated up.

Many people noticed this strange flame. After all, the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell's nature is peculiar and rigid, making it very difficult to hide.

"Heavens, what is this..."

"Where did this strange flame come from..."

"Creation, if I were to refine it..."

With covetous eyes, everyone looked at this strangely appearing exotic object, yet none dared to act first.

After all, this thing appeared too mysteriously.

However, asking them to give it up would be too unreasonable.

They were waiting, waiting for a fool to test if there were any traps on this flame.

The great battle was imminent.

But just then, a figure clad in a Xuanjin Robe appeared beside this golden flame and pinched it out.

"You..."

He could only utter the first three words before he could speak no more.

Holy Emperor Venerable cast a faint glance at him.

The cultivator felt his throat dry up, and even breathing became difficult. He knelt devoutly and kowtowed: "Devotion, Infinite Divine Deeds, Supreme One of the Profound Firmament, Holy Emperor Venerable!"

"Devotion, Infinite Divine Deeds, Supreme One of the Profound Firmament, Holy Emperor Venerable!"

All the cultivators in the black market knelt in unison. Those on the reefs knelt on the rocks below, while those with nowhere to stand simply fell onto the water's surface.

Holy Emperor Venerable was indifferent to the worship of these ordinary cultivators. He gently wielded divine power, snuffing out the Heart Demon Curse, which Nascent Soul Cultivators could barely resist against, with his power—fragile as a candle flame.

Yet, even while extinguishing the flame, Holy Emperor Venerable rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, as if recalling the sensation just now.

"Very mysterious..."

At this moment, his figure vanished once more.

This time, an anomaly appeared on the eastern side of Spirit Phoenix Island!

This time, he did not hesitate at all; upon detecting the anomaly, he rushed there immediately. Holy Emperor Venerable already regarded that mysterious enemy as an opponent of equal standing.

When he arrived at the eastern side of Spirit Phoenix Island, he happened to see an extremely ugly demon insect wreaking havoc. It had ten pairs of feet, all curled under its fat white belly, and scales covered its triangular wings—it was precisely the Xiagai Demon Worm, the Spell Spirit of Wang Qi's Five Plagues General Curse!

The Heart Demon Curse Spell Spirits from the Shenzhou Continent, more than just one Boluo Divine Flame.

The Great Wilderness God leapt from Holy Emperor Venerable's left eye, punching to annihilate the Xiagai Demon Worm.

But at this moment, the Holy Emperor Venerable suddenly paused.

Hostility surged like a tide from all directions. He didn't know who his opponent was, but just by the ethereal Qi Intent alone, it was not hard to judge that this was a formidable being on the same level as himself.

Moreover, this skill in concealment far surpassed that of Holy Emperor Venerable.

—Don't forget, in terms of life essence, Innate Saint-type Sea gods are also at the Immortal level!

"Tch..." Holy Emperor Venerable frowned, "Who exactly are you? What do you want? Come out! Maybe we can talk!"

——————————————————————————————————————————————

While Mi diverted Holy Emperor Venerable's attention, Wang Qi was already progressing to the next stage.

At this moment, the Sword Intent evolution of Luochen Sword Palace had moved from the Kan Position to the Kun Position.

The Earth's position is Kun; the noble person carries things with great virtue.

Supreme Kun Essence, all things come into being, following the heavens.

At this stage, various Sword Intents began to solidify. Originally gathered power from the Sword Palace disciples should also merge into one at this step.

However, this step incidentally mixed in Wang Qi, an anomaly.

"Indeed, this Sword Intent Formation emphasizes intention preceding Qi, maintaining intent; thus, the true intent of the array is to preserve and nourish the divine soul."

"This time, the spiritual object placed at the array's core is most likely something that can better nourish the Divine Soul."

However, to Wang Qi, the soul is a force that can be polluted and plundered.

When Wang Qi's consciousness extension, obtained through his integration with his Fa, along with the mana stained by the Divine Plague Curse flowed into this array, the new grand array would inadvertently incorporate a new function.

—Wang Qi's network server.

As the Kun Position evolved, Wang Qi felt that the virtual "network" he created was slowly solidifying.

Numerous Wanxiang Diagrams arranged at his fingertips, like the strongest musical notes and the most beautiful chapters, flowed slowly into this great array. As it circulated, the powerful array, with a hint of Divine Dao, was gradually infected by him.

After the Kun Position, the next evolution would be the Zhen and Xun Positions, all the way to the final Li Position.

Then, the Eight Diagrams would be complete.

Outside the Luochen Sword Palace, Sword Intent suddenly retracted inward, then rotated several times amidst the dust.

Soon after, the Sword Intent surged skyward once again.

The acquired returns to the innate!

Luochen Sword Palace, Tai Chu Sword God Formation, complete!

Simultaneously, Wang Qi also withdrew his external Sword Intent.

—The server, setup complete.

Meanwhile, by the sea, Mi and Holy Emperor Venerable's standoff continued.

After all, as soon as Luochen Sword Palace's Sword Array was completed, that mysterious enemy retreated, which was too conspicuous.

Thus, at dusk that day, at the edge of Spirit Phoenix Island, a Banished Immortal was shouting in vain: "Come out! Come out!"
