Chapter 1236 The Bitter Creation Immortal Venerable Has Been Suffering for Too Long

"Little White, this treasure is destined for me, and so are you!" Wei Yuan exclaimed.

The little white lion roared, "I'm not called Little White! My real name is Gonzapori..."

Wei Yuan interrupted it: "Little White, listen to me, we won't call you that name."

"I will never change my name or surname! I am Gonza..."

"Do you still remember the formation here?" Wei Yuan interrupted it again.

"The formation here... I don't remember. Oh, I do remember, but why should I tell you?"

"Little White, cats shouldn't always go against their own spiritual food." Wei Yuan stroked a mirage demon, speaking earnestly. Little White's lion eyes glowed green, and it pounced, only to find Wei Yuan's hand empty; the mirage demon had vanished.

The little white lion glared angrily at Wei Yuan, torn between whether or not to compromise. Wei Yuan, however, coaxed it gently: "It's for a meal, there's nothing shameful about it!"

Seeing the mirage demon appear and disappear in Wei Yuan's hands, the little white lion, who had been starving for thousands of years, finally couldn't resist its instincts. It turned around and ran to where it was sleeping, dug a small hole in the ground with its paws, dug out a jade tablet from it, and presented it to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan was very approving. He put away the jade tablet with one hand and tossed the mirage demon to it with the other, then even planned to pat its head. But the little guy turned and bit off half of Wei Yuan's hand!
Wei Yuan was in excruciating pain all over his body; this was due to damage to his divine sense!

Qiongqi was, after all, a ferocious beast of the celestial level, and its bite was incredibly powerful. For a moment, Wei Yuan couldn't even retract his divine sense, and half of his palm was swallowed by it! After entering its belly, that part of his divine sense disappeared permanently, and then the little white lion grew larger as if it had been inflated.

Instead of getting angry, Wei Yuan laughed and said, "Fine, fine! It seems that if I don't increase your strength, you'll think that just because you're a ferocious beast, you can do whatever you want."

Without further ado, Wei Yuan pointed and several chains fell from the sky, binding its limbs, head, and tail, leaving it suspended in mid-air. Even its ears were bound by chains.

Wei Yuan had long since mastered various Taoist techniques, such as the "Immortal Binding Technique."

The little white lion was frozen in mid-air, unable to move. Wei Yuan then searched through the bustling worlds and finally summoned Fuyao, saying to her, "This ferocious creature is the spirit of Qiongqi; it's very wild. You must tame it well!"

Fuyao glanced at the little white lion and smiled, "So it's a little female cat after all. How far do you want to tame it? Do you want to teach it to transform?"

"You even know how to transform into human form?" Wei Yuan was a little surprised, feeling that Fuyao possessed a lot of strange knowledge.

Fuyao said, "How could you forget that whenever there are any Daoist traditions or forbidden techniques, you store them in the Prosperous World of All Realms? We have no taboos there, and we can read anything, so I've read quite a few books in my spare time."

"I see." Wei Yuan suddenly realized, then asked, "How confident are you in taming it?"

"Hold it in your hand!" Fuyao uttered another strange phrase.

"We still need to be careful; this little guy is quite fierce," Wei Yuan cautioned.

Fuyao said, "I am familiar with the habits of all kinds of spiritual creatures, so I am good at raising them. A good raiser is also good at taming them. Rest assured, sir, it won't be long before I can make it obedient and it can transform into various forms. What does it eat?"

"It seems like they like to eat mirages."

Fuyao nodded and said, "The Mirage Demon race is half spirit and half monster. Only those with cultivation can gain intelligence and can be considered sentient beings. But even those who have mastered the realm are often constrained by their physical instincts and cannot be considered enlightened. Feeding them to ancient ferocious beasts is their destiny. It seems that this Qiongqi is very hungry, otherwise it would not have dared to bite."

Thinking of the mirage demons that covered the entire surface of the Earth Star's core, Wei Yuan deeply sympathized. Those three mirage demons, at the level of the Imperial Realm, looked down on the other mirage demons when they weren't deeply entangled with each other, considering them to be completely different species. But when they needed to engage, they treated all mirage demons equally.

"I need some mirage demons, young and healthy with firm flesh, and also a separate space to avoid disturbing your sight and hearing."

Wei Yuan then summoned ninety-nine mirage demons and set up an array to isolate the inside from the outside, throwing Fuyao and the little white lion inside. The array had barely been erected, and before the inside and outside were completely separated, Wei Yuan heard the little white lion let out a piercing scream!
After dealing with Xiaobai, Wei Yuan used his divine sense to scan the buried jade tablet. This jade tablet contained a formation that refined living beings, fusing flesh, blood, souls, resentment, and karma into a single, earth-shattering attack. The original owner of this immortal ring possessed astonishing skill in formations; looking at the hundreds of thousands of array nodes and runes within the jade tablet, Wei Yuan felt dizzy.

This array diagram is truly priceless, the culmination of that immortal array master's life's work. Its wonder lies in its ability to refine a small portion of karmic force into one's flesh and blood, unleashing it all at once. Invisibly, it's as if a small portion of karmic force has been magically reduced, while simultaneously increasing its power against enemies—truly miraculous.

Following the Crimson Lotus Salvation Mantra, this is the second method Wei Yuan has discovered that can process karma on a large scale. However, just like the Crimson Lotus Salvation Mantra, Wei Yuan suspects that this formation likely has hidden dangers; if used too often, it will suddenly erupt. The fact that this immortal formation master ultimately met a violent end is a testament to this.

Having obtained this formation, Wei Yuan did not intend to apply it directly. Instead, he sent it directly to the Prosperous World of Realms, allowing everyone to analyze and study it at their own pace. Currently, there are many researchers within the Prosperous World of Realms. Placing such a celestial formation there would be a disservice to the sages if it didn't produce hundreds of top-tier articles.

With his limited knowledge of formations, Wei Yuan gave a task: to rebuild a new grand formation, no longer distinguishing between different races, but allowing template Dao Foundations to live and cultivate here, and then extracting their magical power to unleash a devastating attack.

Even the weakest template Dao foundation is far stronger than that of mortals and ordinary alien races. Although it only extracts a portion of the mana, and its power is far inferior to that of refined flesh and soul, there are countless Qingming template Dao foundations, which can be compensated for by quantity, and will not generate karmic resentment.

……

Amidst the bustling world, in an ordinary courtyard unknown to the Creator Immortal, several people dressed in ordinary clothes entered one after another, and the last person to enter carefully closed the courtyard gate.

As he closed the door, the entire courtyard suddenly separated from the surrounding world, becoming a space independent of the world. The outside world was unaware of its existence, and the inside could not see the outside.

Only then did the group remove their hoods, revealing their true identities. The one who closed the door last was Han Li, followed by Jun Weizhi, Lei Ling, and a sweet and adorable little girl.

Jun Weizhi took the seat of honor and distributed the jade paper in his hand to the group. He then said, "Fuyao has important business to attend to outside, but the matter is urgent, so we have to gather here first. These are a few articles that I have selected from the latest publications in the outside world. Please take a look."

After the group passed it around, their expressions were all solemn. Only Lei Ling looked bewildered. She recognized all the words in the text, but when put together, she could hardly understand a single sentence.

After everyone had finished reading, Jun Weizhi said, "These articles were all written by a cultivator named Wen Guantian. It is said that he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and has no path to advancement. And it is said that there are more than a dozen people like him, and hundreds more at the next level below them!"

Lei Ling still looked bewildered: "What does this mean?"

Han Li sighed softly and said, "We originally thought that the inner world would become more and more important, but we never expected that so many geniuses would emerge from the outer world. Although their cultivation is low, their wisdom is astounding!"

If this continues, the Creator Immortal Venerable may no longer need us.

Lei Ling still didn't quite understand: "So what? Aren't we going to rebel..."

At that moment, the sweet little girl just let out a cold laugh.

Han Li, on the other hand, was approachable and patiently explained, "If you want to rebel, you need resources. And resources don't come out of thin air; we need to be useful first, and then we'll have resources."

Jun Weizhi said slowly, "Although Wen Guantian is powerful, I am not necessarily unable to fight him! The most urgent task is to gather the power of all living beings in the inner world and unite against the external enemy."

Han Li nodded: "The outer world has three top publications with countless divine texts. Our inner world must also establish a top publication so that everyone can express their opinions and compete with the outer world. Only in this way can we have a chance to survive."

The group then discussed the details, and Jun Weizhi said, "This place is isolated from heaven and earth, and we shouldn't stay here too long, or things might change. Now that the important matters have been decided, let's disperse."

Han Li cupped his hands in thanks to the sweet little girl and said, "I must thank you for your great help, brother, for providing so much information about the outer world."

The girl waved her hand dismissively and said, "What are you thanking me for? It's just my duty! You don't know how long the world has suffered under the Creator Immortal..."
