Chapter 600: All Heaven Star Formation

Chapter 600: Chapter 600: All Heaven Star Formation

This would completely shatter the delicate balance the Three Sects had maintained for a thousand years. How could the Primordial Sect and the Wansheng Sword Sect tolerate such a powerful neighbor growing right on their doorstep?

At that point, it wouldn’t be a matter of minor skirmishes; a new war between the Three Sects would be all but certain.

Although the World Honored One Tathagata of the Puchen Pure Land was a formidable figure, the Daoist Lords of the Primordial Sect and the Wansheng Sword Sect wouldn’t just let him wreak havoc in the Newbie Village.

After digesting—or rather, cherry-picking—some of Clone Wukong’s combat experience and staff techniques, Xu Yunfan didn’t even glance at the *Great Virtuous Ming King Fighting Buddha Scripture*.

That thing was a total hot potato.

The Puchen Pure Land would definitely orchestrate a major incident to keep the Wansheng Sword Sect and the Primordial Sect preoccupied. Only then could they smoothly attain the King Buddha Fruit Position and establish an Earthly Buddha Country.

The World Honored One Tathagata of the Puchen Pure Land might even enlighten another person to enter the fray and stir the pot. If they truly succeeded in building an Earthly Buddha Country in the Eastern Wilderness and welcomed the Zizai King Buddha Fruit Position, life would surely become even more difficult for the Primordial Sect and the Wansheng Sword Sect.

As a Cultivator of the Primordial Sect, especially one who had already caught True Monarch Qing Yuan’s eye, his own situation would likely become increasingly precarious.

The Primordial Sect and the Wansheng Sword Sect would never allow it.

Even the Daoist Lords backing them would likely not let the World Honored One Tathagata have his way.

’I have to increase my strength, and fast.’

Xu Yunfan knew that if he wanted to find a sliver of hope—or even seize an opportunity—in the heart of the coming storm, his current Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was not enough.

He had to condense his own Immortal Golden Nature as quickly as possible and reach Foundation Establishment Perfection, the Realm of Great Daoist Master. Only then would he have more confidence to face the changing situation.

Perhaps, amidst the chaos of a three-way war, he could even keep those Golden Core True Monarchs so preoccupied that he could seek the Golden Attainment Fruit Position for himself.

Now that his *Divine Sky Nine Heavens Profound Vault Undying True Scripture* had reached Perfection, the *Divine Sky Yuqing Nine Heavens Profound Vault Myriad Transformations Undying Dao Fruit* was also within sight. As long as he condensed his Immortal Golden Nature, this technique would surely break its limits and draw the favor of the Fruit Position.

Ascending to True Monarch would be a natural progression; what need would there be for a Ritual of slaying demons and devils?

’But some things have to be done.’

’Otherwise, how could I cover my tracks?’

The opportunity was fleeting, and every second counted.

Without daring to delay, Xu Yunfan immediately set off for the Primordial Sect’s Scripture Pavilion.

Using the identity token granted by True Monarch Qing Yuan and the Contribution Points he had accumulated, he quickly exchanged them for the Jade Scroll containing the complete version of the *All Heaven Star Formation*.

This Unparalleled Killing Array, created by the Ancient Demon Court, was vast, complex, and immensely powerful. Even just scratching the surface of its secrets would bring great benefits.

Arrays were divided into nine grades, with Ninth Grade being the highest.

When paired with a Spiritual Treasure, this Array could be considered Eighth Grade. For now, he was only trying to inscribe it into the Star Spirit Banner, which would make it just a Seventh-grade Grand Array.

But for Xu Yunfan, that was enough.

The required Contribution Points were naturally astronomical, but Xu Yunfan could still afford it.

Not only could he afford it, but he even had some savings to spare.

With his Attribute Panel, his Array Dao Mastery had long since deduced *Array Mastery* to the Great Success Realm, giving him an incredibly solid foundation.

Now, as he comprehended the higher-tier *All Heaven Star Formation*, although he found it incredibly profound, the powerful deduction and analysis capabilities of his Attribute Panel made many of the once obscure and difficult parts unravel layer by layer.

The Skill Level also flickered in his vision from time to time.

「In the days that followed,」 Xu Yunfan became completely absorbed, forgetting to eat or sleep. He combined it with his own understanding of the Array Dao, continuously deducing and improving.

Once he fully comprehended this Array, his Array Dao Cultivation would surely rise to a new level, reaching an even more astonishing state.

While comprehending the Array, Xu Yunfan immediately began another important task: re-refining the All Heaven Star Spirit Banner to complete the Grand Array.

This banner had helped him hunt Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Celestial Realm to fill the positions of Star Monarchs. It was the physical vessel for the *All Heaven Star Formation* and, more importantly, the prototype for his future Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.

He needed to use the *All Heaven Star Formation* as a blueprint, combining it with the exquisite "Eight Scenes Refining Sky Array" Dharma Gate from his *Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture*, to completely reshape and complete the Star Spirit Banner.

At this moment, his cultivation of the *Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture* was nearing Perfection. In the art of Artifact Refining, to call himself an Artifact Refining Grandmaster was merely being modest.

His transformation, fusion, and manipulation of the eight types of profound Cloud Qi had reached a point where it was nearly effortless and perfectly natural.

Xu Yunfan didn’t hesitate. He immediately opened his furnace and drove the Eight Sceneries Cloud Qi to perform the eight gates of the Eight Sceneries artifact refining.

After all, refining the artifact and inscribing the All Heaven Star Formation inside the banner was also a prime opportunity to comprehend the array.

Several Spells were cast. The majestic Eight Sceneries Cloud Qi billowed out, its world-refining aura enveloping the body of the Star Spirit Banner.

With a Divine Thought that moved with pinpoint precision, Xu Yunfan guided the Eight Sceneries Cloud Qi to seep into every minute structure of the banner’s body. He simulated the trajectories of the Stars of the Celestial Sphere, imprinting and restructuring the profound mysteries of the Grand Array he had comprehended, bit by bit, before reinforcing and optimizing it.

At the same time, he continuously threw in the rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he had obtained from the Celestial Realm, as well as Chu Chengnan’s entire stash.

It cost him more than half his fortune, and the expense made Xu Yunfan wince in pain.

Under the refinement of the Eight Scenes Refining Sky Array, the once slightly chaotic imprints of the Star Monarchs on the banner’s surface gradually fell into place, glowing with wisps of Starlight. Above, billions of stars in the firmament seemed to answer its call, as faint strands of Starlight slowly descended, penetrating the immortal’s cave to land on the banner’s surface.

The connections between them grew tighter and more profound. The aura of the entire banner became deeper and vaster, showing faint signs of forming its own self-contained world and evolving stars.

This reshaping made the foundation of the Star Spirit Banner incredibly solid, strong enough to withstand the full power of the future *All Heaven Star Formation*.

「After a full forty-nine days,」 the re-refining of the Star Spirit Banner was complete.

He had also made a breakthrough with the All Heaven Star Formation. Now, he just needed to comprehend the Array and continuously complete it within the banner.

Once the Grand Array took shape within the Star Spirit Banner, he would dare to call himself invincible below the Golden Core realm.

Even with the Attribute Panel, comprehending an Array was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Having made a start, Xu Yunfan naturally needed to invest more time.

After finishing these two major tasks that laid the foundation for his future, Xu Yunfan did not immediately go to find Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan had previously sent a message telling Xu Yunfan to find him after coming out of seclusion. However, there was a more urgent matter at hand that needed to be prioritized—one concerning his current trump card.

He suppressed the thought of contacting him immediately and instead began to consume a massive amount of rare resources to refine a Magical Treasure.

He took out the Taiyin Treasure Mirror he had obtained from the Celestial Realm, which carried the Dao Fruit Core of the Taiyin Profound Mirror Dao Fruit.

The Treasure Mirror was cold and profound, emanating a vast, icy aura. This was an Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo, the final materialization of a Dao Fruit.

’Directly refining this treasure would be cutting off my own future.’

Xu Yunfan knew with perfect clarity, unless he planned to remain at the Golden Core realm forever—and as an Outer Dao Golden Core at that.

Moreover, refining it to become his own Dao Fruit Core would be tantamount to cutting himself off from the great path to the heavens within the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm. It would also immediately attract the covetous eyes of True Monarch Level experts.

More importantly, he feared it would draw the combined wrath of True Monarch Pu Du and True Monarch Qing Yuan, who would hunt him down.
