Above the Great Dao
Chapter 1626 - 748: To Settle This Life
The face of Wu Yue Star Lord changed suddenly, and he turned around to reprimand, "Ignorant fools! What status does Heavenly King Chen hold, how dare you criticize him? Hurry and apologize to the Heavenly King!"
He then turned to Chen Shi, smiling apologetically, "Heavenly King, please don't be offended; they're just a few children, too straightforward in their speech."
Chen Shi was unbothered and smiled, "No wonder the Great Heavenly Venerate sent me to quell the rebellion. The chaos in Wu Yue Province is indeed much more serious than in other provinces of the Heavenly Market."
Wu Yue Star Lord laughed heartily, "You are wrong, Heavenly King. Wu Yue Province is not chaotic. The struggles among the Immortal Gods in other provinces are getting fiercer, but Wu Yue Province remains harmonious. Some disturbances arose among the Immortal Gods initially but quickly subsided. Heavenly King, a feast is already prepared in Pingtian Tower. Please, come this way."
Pingtian Tower, where Immortal Lord Xin and others were located, was extended an invitation by Wu Yue Star Lord to Chen Shi without a hint of fear, and he entered the tower.
Pingtian Tower had seven floors. As soon as Chen Shi stepped inside, he saw Immortals taking flight, each landing within the tower. Outside, there were more Immortals surrounding the tower, preventing Chen Shi from escaping.
Chen Shi stepped into Pingtian Tower, feeling slightly startled.
As he crossed the threshold, the interior of the tower transformed; from the outside, it appeared as normal room layouts, but inside, the heavens were vast, revealing tens of thousands of miles of territory!
With a step into the void, Chen Shi looked down to see the blue sky below, with majestic mountains and lush green lands, long rivers like dragons, and lakes resembling Bright Pearls.
The landscape unfolded beneath his feet like a picturesque painting.
In the air, tens of thousands of Immortals sat cross-legged, swords horizontal on their knees, forming a formation like a canopy.
Chen Shi glanced over and noticed that the Harmonization Lands of these Immortals was the first layer of space in Pingtian Tower!
In other words, tens of thousands of Immortals were harmonized in the same place!
Chen Shi had seen two or three Immortals sharing a Harmonization Land before. The world is only so big, even in the Earth Immortal Realm; it can't have endless territories. After harmonizing, others can also harmonize.
This means verifying whether their own Daoist Skill differs from the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, without conflict.
But Chen Shi had never seen a situation where tens of thousands of Immortals shared the same Harmonization Land. π»π³β―β―π€β―π·π―β΄πβ―π.πβ΄π
"Heavenly King, how do you find this formation?"
Wu Yue Star Lord smiled, "Can it compare to the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation on Golden Turtle Island?"
Chen Shi replied, "The Array is intricate and extraordinary. Tens of thousands of Immortals harmonizing in one place, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao here can surely be manipulated by all of them. Their combined formation is analogous to Daluo."
To certify Daluo means that one's Daoist Skill is equivalent to the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, capable of creating a realm, fully utilizing the realm's Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
Although this Harmonization Land of tens of thousands of Immortals is smaller and each Immortal can command less of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, their sheer numbers, each invoking a bit of Dao Power, together could almost match the Dao Power a Daluo Golden Immortal can utilize.
This is what Chen Shi described as analogous to Daluo.
The key lies in the formation these tens of thousands of Immortals have formed; without it, they couldn't combine their powers and resemble Daluo otherwise.
"Heavenly King's insight is unparalleled."
Wu Yue Star Lord said, "This formation is called the Jade Platform Heaven Tribulation Array, created by the Immortal Venerable of Green Peak Mountain, Qingxu Daode Tianzun. It's said that back then, the Venerable was amazed when witnessing the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of Jie Sect, and thus created this formation himself. It uses ten thousand Immortals harmonizing to emulate certifying Daluo, even more intricate than the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Unfortunately, after creating this formation, the Venerable could never see the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation again."
He smiled, "I heard you are the current Sect Leader of Jie Sect; is there any remnant of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation on Golden Turtle Island?"
Chen Shi responded solemnly, "A sect's Protective Array must not be compromised."
They entered the next heaven of Pingtian Tower; the second layer was similar to the first, also a world within the tower, with tens of thousands of Immortals harmonizing and setting up the Jade Platform Heaven Tribulation Array, exuding murderous intent.
The second layer was much larger than the first, spanning a hundred thousand miles.
The Immortals harmonizing here had reached the True Immortal realm in their cultivation.
"What mighty and fierce troops!"
Chen Shi praised and asked, "Where does the world within this Pingtian Tower come from?"
Wu Yue Star Lord laughed, "It's the territory of Wu Yue Province in the Earth Immortal Realm, refined into a Magical Treasure."
"Truly wonderful, truly wonderful."
Chen Shi remarked, "If it could be cultivated into the Thirty-Three Heavens, wouldn't it rival the Three Pure Ones Realm and Western Heaven?"
Wu Yue Star Lord chuckled, "We are not capable of such feats and realms. Besides, I am merely the Star Lord of Wu Yue Province, with limited jurisdiction and unable to refine such a Treasure. To refine it would require incorporating the entire Heavenly Market into Pingtian Tower, needing Emperor Gouchen's intervention; how could I have such Mana? Heavenly King, this way please."
Behind Chen Shi, Emperor Gouchen raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Chen Shi smiled, "The specifications of your Pingtian Tower are extraordinary; it might be of ancient origin, wouldn't you agree?"
"Naturally."
Wu Yue Star Lord said, "This was left by Yun Zhongzi, the contemporary Sect Master of the Upper Pure Realm."
"I've heard Yun Zhongzi is Emperor Gouchen's master?" Chen Shi asked.
Wu Yue Star Lord responded, "Yes."
Chen Shi glanced at Emperor Gouchen, seemingly amused, "Then Yun Sect Master left Pingtian Tower here with profound intentions. If Emperor Gouchen were to wield this tower, he might be able to collect the Heavenly Market and instantly refine it into a supreme Treasure."
