The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Why have you suddenly become so serious?

"He spends all his time reading about the cultivation of immortal emperors."

"The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor has already decided to come to the Boundless Star Region. It's no use for you to try to catch up at the last minute."

Stone King noticed that Zhang Lingfeng had been acting strangely these past few days, not taking them along to play mahjong or cards.

Instead, they studied what powers they could master after becoming an Immortal Emperor.

It looks extremely comical.

It's completely irrelevant; it feels like they've been scared out of their wits.

However, it's understandable when you think about it. After all, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor who was dispatched this time, even though he has only been an Immortal Emperor for a short period of six thousand years, is still not comparable to these ancient demons who have been around for ten thousand years.

Previously, the ninety-six Immortal Lords still needed to rely on the Five Elements Extinction Array to deal with them, but the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor could directly enter the Boundless Star Domain, and even the Dragon King could not stop him.

"boom!"

There were fluctuations in the magic array in the Boundless Starfield.

Runes appeared on the surface of the Boundless Starfield.

The Dragon King is setting up a grand formation.

How could it allow the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor to easily enter the Boundless Star Domain?

Many powerful demons followed the Dragon King and worked together to set up a grand formation.

The formation is called the Five Elements Extinction Formation.

That's right. The Dragon King was preparing to emulate the ninety-six Immortal Lords and set up the Five Elements Extinction Array in the Boundless Star Domain. However, this array was originally intended to target the life forms in the Boundless Star Domain.

But this time, under the manipulation of the Dragon King and other ancient demons, this grand formation will be aimed at powerful beings who want to enter the Boundless Starfield in the future without their permission.

These few years.

The Dragon King had been meticulously planning this all along.

As an intelligent being, it could not simply sit idly by and wait for its demise.

Although the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor had no enmity with him, entering the Boundless Star Domain was tantamount to causing trouble on his territory. Moreover, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's entry into the Boundless Star Domain was at the behest of the White Ocean Immortal Emperor.

There was a secret between the two of them, mainly driven by self-interest, and it also concerned the events of their ancestor's past.

The Dragon King would not allow those who harmed the Ancestral Master to run rampant in the Boundless Starfield, nor would he allow them to leave the Boundless Starfield alive. Of course, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was too powerful, so the Dragon King could only try to stop him from entering.

Therefore, setting up the Five Elements Extinction Array is the best approach.

It had been preparing for many years and had carefully studied it. Although the great formation could not be set up successfully all at once, it was not so bad that something like what happened to the ninety-six immortal lords, who suffered a collective backlash because the great formation was broken, would not happen.

Zhang Lingfeng has been in the Wuji Starfield for countless years now. Through this long period of interaction, he knows that the ancient monsters of the Wuji Starfield are not simple, especially the Dragon King, who is cunning and shrewd.

It seems to have enough confidence to deal with the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor. It has never been flustered in the past few years, and it is still the same now. It seems that no one in the Boundless Starfield can kill it.

However, Zhang Lingfeng cannot rely entirely on the Dragon King and place his hopes on him. He needs to prepare for both possibilities and strive to become an Immortal Emperor.

Only by attaining the Dao of Immortal Emperor can one contend with the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

Only if the Dragon King and his people can't hold on can I be of help.

I've been cramming on various materials for a while now.

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that the important criteria for becoming a Celestial Emperor was not simply reaching the required level of Celestial Essence Power, but rather integrating one's Daoist techniques into the Heavenly Dao.

It touched the power of the Heavenly Dao.

According to the data, every Immortal Emperor can influence the laws of Heaven. Infusing their own Dao into the Heavenly Dao is an important standard of power.

But in this process, one is fighting against the will of Heaven.

If the battle is lost, all efforts will be in vain, and it will become extremely difficult to become an Immortal Emperor, or even completely lose the chance to succeed.

Zhang Lingfeng hadn't expected becoming an Immortal Emperor to be so troublesome, but thinking about it, it made sense. Of all the immortals in the Upper World, only a few became Immortal Emperors.

Each Immortal Emperor is the supreme ruler of a star field, an existence that no one can shake. Such immense power is naturally not something that just anyone can easily obtain.

The same goes for Zhang Lingfeng.

However, compared to others, it was relatively easy for Zhang Lingfeng to reach the Immortal Emperor standard in terms of Immortal Essence, as he only needed to use the "lying flat value" to assist him.

As for injecting one's own Daoist power into the Heavenly Dao, thereby gaining the ability to alter the Heavenly Dao and obtain its recognition, and thus becoming a Daoist Immortal Emperor, that would be quite difficult.

But things had come to this point, and Zhang Lingfeng had no choice but to give it a try.

The ancient demons in the Boundless Starfield all have their own secrets. Each of them possesses a vast collection of treasures. They are familiar with the relevant explanations and precautions regarding becoming an Immortal Emperor, and they have also mastered many ancient records.

After all, most of these ancient demons are at the level of Immortal Lords, and they also yearn to become Immortal Emperors and the supreme beings of their own race.

Therefore, many good things are hidden there.

Zhang Lingfeng was able to learn from them about the various challenges he would encounter on his path to becoming an Immortal Emperor. He discovered that when he infused his Dao into the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao order in the Boundless Star Domain would change, alarming the entire Upper World.

If a powerful figure interfered at that time, it would be difficult to inject the Dao into the Heavenly Dao, resulting in failure at the last minute.

However, this is a deep-seated hatred.

Intervening would have serious negative consequences, and if the other party eventually became a Celestial Emperor, it would be a fight to the death.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, unless there is a deep-seated hatred, no Immortal Emperor would interfere with another fellow Daoist's advancement to Immortal Emperor.

Because interfering with others' infusion of Taoist magic into the Heavenly Dao will also result in attacks from the Heavenly Dao, and the negative karma from such interference will be far greater than that from entering the Boundless Star Domain.

This information made Zhang Lingfeng feel fortunate.

As long as it can make other Immortal Emperors wary, that's fine. Looking at the entire Upper World, unless Immortal Emperor Baiyang appears in the Boundless Star Domain, even Immortal Emperor Jiuyang wouldn't dare to easily interfere with his Dao, knowing that he has a chance to become an Immortal Emperor, and continue to attack him.

Of course, we still need to take more precautions.

Zhang Lingfeng could not place his hopes on the Dragon King, nor could he think that the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was merciful enough to watch him attain the Immortal Emperor realm.

When the other party chose to help Baiyang Immortal Emperor and was about to enter the Wuji Starfield to deal with him, the unfavorable karmic relationship between the two beings had already been created.

"If I truly become a Celestial Emperor, I wonder how the other Celestial Emperors in the upper world will view me?"

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

He knew that there were countless powerful beings in the world above, but there were not many Immortal Emperors. Each Immortal Emperor was stationed in a resource-rich star field.

To avoid conflict, they have always kept to themselves.

Sometimes it's just like the White Ocean Immortal Emperor and the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor, using billions of living beings as chess pieces, heaven and earth as the chessboard, and the cycle of cause and effect of everyone to play a game.

A truly large-scale battle hasn't occurred for many years. A battle between Immortal Emperors would cause the deaths of billions of living beings; half a planet's life could be wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the resulting consequences would be numerous.

Even a Celestial Emperor wouldn't dare to get involved rashly.

Zhang Lingfeng continued reviewing the documents.

They were searching for how to infuse the Dao into the Heavenly Dao, how to find resonance points within the Heavenly Dao, how to avoid being devoured by the Heavenly Dao, and how to gain its approval, among other things.

When one's immortal energy reaches the standard of an immortal emperor, how can one use immortal energy and even the power of Dao to come into contact with the so-called Heavenly Dao?

Zhang Lingfeng knows nothing about any of this.

As a level 5 Soul Master, Zhang Lingfeng could sense the power of the Dao in the world, but he couldn't be sure which power was the so-called power of the Heavenly Dao.

How do these Heavenly Powers differ from his Daoist methods?

Zhang Lingfeng needs to figure these things out slowly.

"If one's immortal essence reaches the standard of an immortal emperor, and one can inject the Dao into the Heavenly Dao, it can be achieved through cultivation techniques. How wonderful it would be if one could use the 'lying down value' to help."

"In the entire Boundless Starfield, among so many ancient demons who have lived for tens of thousands of years, surely there are no such cultivation methods, no such hidden tricks?"

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

In order to become an Immortal Emperor, he began to work hard, which went against his destiny of lying down and doing nothing. He felt uneasy and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Why don't we go find the Dragon King?"

Looking across the entire Boundless Starfield, if we're talking about who has lived the longest, the Dragon King is definitely one of the best.

Furthermore, it is said that the Dragon King was once a being like the Dragon Emperor, so perhaps he can answer his questions and help him in this regard.

So Zhang Lingfeng found the Dragon King who was setting up the Five Elements Extinction Array.

During this period, the ancient demons of the Boundless Starfield obeyed the Dragon King's orders and stayed at their respective posts. Unconsciously, their power had been injected into the magic array.

The Five Elements Extinction Array has been successfully set up and is operational, but its power is still relatively weak. To avoid damage and backlash to all life forms, the Dragon King set up the Five Elements Extinction Array in a different order and method than the ninety-six Immortal Lords.

The ninety-six Immortal Lords intended to set up a Five Elements Extinction Array that could cover the entire Boundless Starfield from the very beginning, terrifying all life.

Because of their large numbers and powerful strength, the initial formation was very successful, quickly covering the entire Boundless Starfield.

Then, the Ninety-Six Immortal Lords poured energy into the great formation, gradually strengthening its power and giving it the ability to destroy a group of ancient demons in the Boundless Starfield.

This forced the ancient demon to hand over Zhang Lingfeng.

The Dragon King, however, chose to do the opposite.

He first set up the Five Elements Extinction Array on a small scale and successfully set it up. Then he had ancient demons of ten thousand years join in, gradually stretching and expanding the array, covering the entire Boundless Starfield in one area after another.

During this period, if the great formation is damaged, those ancient demons will not suffer the same severe backlash as the ninety-six immortal lords.

Although injuries were inevitable, for a group of ancient demons, it was merely a matter of minor damage.

The Dragon King's method of setting up the grand formation was relatively slow, but also relatively safe. It would not attract people's attention at first, and by the time others realized something was wrong, the Five Elements Extinction Grand Formation would have already been successfully set up, even covering half of the Boundless Starfield, forming a powerful deterrent.

At this point, destroying this great formation has become extremely difficult.

Of course, the methods to set up a grand formation are not something that the Dragon King alone can accomplish. There are many powerful ancient demons in the Boundless Star Domain. Some of them are Soul Masters, some are powerful formation masters, or alchemists, weapon refiners, and so on.

Perhaps they are not from the human race or the dragon race, but they all obey the Dragon King's orders.

Zhang Lingfeng had already learned from the ancient demons like Mo Yunteng that the reason these beings revered the Dragon King was not because the Dragon King was stronger or older.

Rather, it is because their birth, or their ability to survive in the Boundless Starfield, is inseparable from the Dragon King's initial help. Every life form has, invisibly, absorbed the positive karma from the Dragon King.

Almost every living being owes the Dragon King a favor.

In addition, the Dragon King is fair in his dealings and does not compete with other life forms for opportunities and energy, which is why beings like the Demon Cloud Teng Stone King are obedient to him.

Zhang Lingfeng thought of the Blackwater Starfield.

Although the Dragon King is not the ruler of the Boundless Star Domain, he has always protected it and prevented it from falling into an abyss of destruction.

He was simply curious as to why the Dragon King had been expelled from the dragon race.

Many ancient demons had different accounts of this matter, and Zhang Lingfeng asked Mo Yunteng and other beings, but did not receive a unified answer.

Perhaps only the Dragon King knows the reason.

Whether it was related to the suppression of the patriarch by another dragon king or not, Zhang Lingfeng did not know for the time being.

"A cultivation method that infuses Taoist magic into the Heavenly Dao?"

The Dragon King was somewhat surprised.

What does Zhang Lingfeng need such a cultivation method for?
"Yes, do you have any?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked at the Dragon King with anticipation.

What do you need this for?

The Dragon King glanced at Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng's immortal essence has only exceeded 10000.0. He still has a long way to go before reaching the standard of an immortal emperor. What use is this cultivation method that can cause negative karma?

Zhang Lingfeng already has enough "lying down" points to raise the Immortal Lord Immortal Essence Cultivation Method to its perfect state, allowing his Immortal Essence to reach the standard of an Immortal Emperor.

However, in order to avoid attracting attention, the more than ten million "lying flat" points accumulated over the years are still stored and not used to exchange for immortal essence.

"I just want to see, I want to know, just how powerful the so-called Immortal Emperor really is, and why he is so domineering."

Zhang Lingfeng had already prepared an excuse.

"Even if you possess such a cultivation method, you will not know how big the gap is between an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Lord, let alone feel how strong an Immortal Emperor really is."

The Dragon King reminded him.

Zhang Lingfeng was overjoyed. The Dragon King's words meant that it truly possessed a cultivation method to infuse the Dao into the Heavenly Dao. As long as he found this method, he could achieve it simply by lying down and not by going through a long period of time.

So he respectfully said, "Please, Dragon King, help me!"

"Hmph, what harm is there in giving it to you? I'm just afraid that you'll get tainted by more negative karma. Some cultivation methods, without a certain level of strength, will only backfire if you try to learn them. You make the decision yourself!"

The Dragon King threw a technique that releases divine light into Zhang Lingfeng's hand.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but kneel down, his hands flat on the ground. He looked horrified, feeling that this cultivation manual was as heavy as an entire boundless star field, and he couldn't bear it. He was forced to kneel down by the weight and couldn't even lift the book.
