Chapter 1722 Repairing the Half-Step 9th-Order Immortal Array

A terrifying demonic howl resounded throughout the dark demon realm, igniting a raging fire of desire in the eyes of all the cultivators of the Primordial Demon Abyss.

Seeing the crowd's excited reaction, the Demon Relic Venerable nodded in satisfaction.

"Pass down the order: full speed ahead! Target—the Nine Divine Realms!" The Demon Skeleton Venerable's voice boomed throughout the entire skeletal dragon ship. "Though those useless fools from the Three Pure Immortal Realms are pathetic, they risked their lives to test the depths of that place and proved that the prey there... is plump enough!"

"Roar!"

The skeletal dragon boat roared to the heavens, its eerie green soul fire raging and stirring the void, transforming into an even faster black demonic light that swept aggressively toward the nine divine realms!

The core of the Immortal Gourd Divine Boat.

The laws of space were distorted by Zhang Xuan's supreme power, forming a secluded cultivation realm with a completely different flow rate.

He sat cross-legged in the central area of ​​the Huangji Palace.

The tree, which embodies the rules and authority of the Great Dao, has already subtly transcended the realm of ordinary Mahayana cultivation as its Daoist aura flows, enough to attract the attention of true immortals.

However, Zhang Xuan remained completely unfazed.

The shadow of the Abyss of Beginning Demons draws ever closer.

Although his personal combat strength has reached its peak, he still needs to prepare various contingency plans to protect a realm, especially when facing an unknown immortal realm.

His gaze fell on the most dazzling trophy—the incomplete Immortal Refining Array.

This formation is no ordinary one!

It was no ordinary eighth-order immortal formation, but rather the foundation of the vanguard of the Three Pure Immortal Realms, reaching the half-step ninth order.

Its status is far superior to the original Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array in the Immortal Gourd Realm.

If it weren't for the overwhelming power of the Dragon Coffin and You Wuyai's unparalleled supernatural abilities, breaking this formation would have been as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even though it is now in ruins, the trace of the ninth-order grand array contained in its core still makes Zhang Xuan feel shocked.

"Half-step into the ninth rank... If it can be repaired, and even if we can glimpse a trace of the mysteries of the ninth-rank array, then the Immortal Gourd Realm and even the Nine Great Divine Domains will have the confidence to truly resist unknown risks!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light; his mind was made up.

This formation must be repaired!

"Zhang Dawu, summon all high-level array masters, come quickly!" Zhang Xuan immediately transmitted his thoughts.

In an instant, Zhang Dawu and all the top array masters in the Immortal Gourd Realm gathered together.

Sensing the residual aura of the half-step ninth-order array plate permeating the area, every array master was shaken, feeling both pressured and incredibly excited.

"Ancestor Xuan!" Zhang Dawu bowed, his voice filled with excitement and solemnity.

He knew all too well what an opportunity and what a challenge it was to participate in the restoration of such a formation.

Zhang Xuan nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, the core of the array plate, though broken, still exuded a suffocating Daoist aura and floated in the air.

The mere natural fluctuations emanating from it caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"This formation is called the Immortal Refining Formation. It is a half-step ninth-order immortal formation, and has already begun to touch the supreme realm of refining all paths." Zhang Xuan's voice was deep and solemn. "Its status is far beyond that of the existing formations in our realm. Today, you and I will not only repair it, but also use it as a foundation to integrate the advantages of our realm's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Formation, and draw on the will and origin of all living beings in our realm to build our Immortal Gourd Realm's unique Immortal Refining Formation!"

"A half-step ninth-tier immortal array?!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment, their breathing quickening.

This is a level they never dared to imagine before!

I never expected to be able to participate in the restoration of this immortal array. I can say that I have no regrets even if I die.

However, repairing a half-step ninth-order immortal array is no easy task.

"The first step in restoration is not to take action, but to comprehend the Tao. Without the corresponding level of understanding, forcibly restoring will only backfire."

Zhang Xuan hovered above the Immortal Refining Array, the runes of "The Principles of Weaving All Things" in his eyes deducing at an unprecedented speed. His divine sense, like the finest tendrils, cautiously probed the core Dao patterns of the array.

At the same time, the ethereal Great Dao Tree above his head suddenly appeared, with its thirteen branches resounding.

The Myriad Paths True Spirit Leaf exudes an aura of primordial chaos returning to oneness and evolving the heavens, attempting to resonate with the artistic conception of refining myriad paths within the array plate.

hum!

The remaining Dao patterns at the core of the array were triggered, and a vast and ancient will surged forth!

Zhang Xuan grunted, his divine sense feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy blow. It was a suppression of his status, a crushing of the Dao!

"It's really amazing!"

Zhang Xuan was not surprised but delighted. He fully activated the "Weaving Principles of All Things," and the Tree of the Great Dao cast down countless rays of light to protect his mind and help him understand this realm.

He saw that the core of this formation was not simply to draw upon the power of the stars, but rather to forcibly extract the myriad paths of heaven and earth in an almost domineering way, transforming them into the purest power of immortal refinement to construct defenses and even counterattacks.

Below, Zhang Dawu and others were also reflecting on their experiences.

Many perceptions have been overturned.

"With my way, I will unify all laws into one!"

Zhang Xuan drew upon the chaotic Daoist principles of all true spirits.

At the same time, the extremely yang branch that had merged with the Great Sun Purification Flame shone brightly.

The pure yet domineering power of purification surged into the array plate, beginning to burn away the unique imprints belonging to the Three Pure Immortal Realms.

This process is more than ten times more dangerous than stripping away an eighth-order formation!

The backlash from the core of the array plate carried a trace of ninth-order characteristics, resisting as if it possessed sentience.

Zhang Xuan had to sometimes use the annihilation power of the withering and flourishing branches to dismantle its resistance, sometimes use the gravity branches to stabilize its structure, and sometimes use the causal branches to sort out its energy circuit.

He carefully drew upon the aura of the dragon coffin to thoroughly purify the remnant immortal refining array, and then used the "Principles of Weaving All Things" to restructure its internal structure, enabling its energy core to synchronize with the refining properties of the new array.

"Immortal Gourd, draw upon the source of the realm, the power of all beings' wishes, and lend me a helping hand!" Zhang Xuan communicated with the spirit of the Divine Ship and the will of the world.

boom!

An unprecedented resonance resonated throughout the entire Immortal Gourd Realm!

The seventh-order spiritual vein surged and roared, the World Tree swayed and shone, scattering endless vitality and Daoist charm.

Throughout the network of wishes that permeate Shenzhou, the purest protective beliefs of billions of living beings surge forth as a golden torrent.

Using the Tree of the Great Dao as a medium, Zhang Xuan slowly pushed the half-step ninth-order great formation, which had been stripped of the Three Pure Ones' imprint, toward the core of the Immortal Gourd Realm's laws.

"melt!"

A single shout seemed to create the heavens and the earth, or to bring all paths back to nothingness!

The moment the new array core came into contact with the Immortal Gourd Realm, a storm of Daoist energy swept out!

The new array patterns, like the veins of life, spread and took root rapidly with unprecedented depth and breadth, becoming completely bound to the mountains and rivers, the spiritual energy of the earth, the wishes of all living beings, and even the destiny in the dark of the Immortal Gourd Realm!

Zhang Xuan further transformed his understanding of space folding, gravity control, annihilation defense, and even a trace of transcendent realm of understanding he had gleaned from the dragon coffin into ultimate Dao patterns that shimmered with chaotic light, and inscribed them into this newly born immortal array.

At the same time, a massive amount of rare materials were put into use.

Top-grade immortal materials obtained from cultivators in the Three Pure Immortal Realms were guided out to serve as resources for repair and enhancement.

Based on the principles of array formations conveyed by Zhang Xuan, Zhang Dawu and others inscribed new array patterns on these new materials that resonated with the origin of the Immortal Refining Array.
