Retirement begins with summoning Yuan Tiangang

Lin Tian sat at the head of the long table, tapping his fingers on the surface idly, tap, tap, tap.

The sound wasn't loud, but it had a good rhythm.

Tian sat to his right.

They sat there quietly, neither of them speaking, just waiting it out.

Lin Tian was pondering a bunch of random things when he suddenly caught a glimpse of his right hand twitching out of the corner of his eye.

Tian stretched out his right hand, and a flash of light appeared in his hand.

As the light faded, a small tower floated in his palm.

It was completely gray and lacked luster, but the moment it appeared, a magical force seemed to rush towards it.

It's clearly not one of those cheap, mass-produced items; it's definitely high-end.

Lin Tian's eyelids twitched.

Then, Tian controlled the small tower to fly in front of Lin Tian, ​​and Lin Tian looked at this thing.

He also knew about what happened last night.

When that god arrived, he tried to break through the barrier, but was crushed by Tianyi's palm.

Let's just accept it as a gift from the gods!

The small tower floated in front of him, spinning. Lin Tian stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and the small tower landed steadily between his fingers.

It feels quite heavy when you pick it up.

"System, check this."

In an instant, a pale blue screen, visible only to him, silently unfolded and hung before his eyes.

[Weapon Name: Seven-Story Sky Tower]

[Rank: Divine Artifact]

[Introduction: This seven-tiered divine tower, derived from the very origin of the divine realm, was created specifically for the gods to maintain order, suppress falsehood, imprison rebellious gods, and absorb the laws of the heavens. No ordinary divine artifact, it possesses its own independent seven-tiered divine domain space, each tier corresponding to a specific function: a unified system of offense and defense, sealing, refining sins, enlightenment, demon suppression, flight, and boundary establishment. The tower's form is invisible and can be hidden, large or small; a single thought can conceal it within the divine soul, a single thought can support the entire heavens.]

After reading it, Lin Tian smacked his lips.

Amazing!

He scratched his chin. He hadn't encountered any classifications above spiritual artifacts before. It seemed that this rank must be above spiritual artifacts.

A divine artifact is an incredibly powerful artifact. Just looking at the description, it has seven functions: attack and defense, sealing, refining sins, enlightenment, demon suppression, flight, and boundary setting. It sounds intimidating.

He turned the small tower and looked at it.

The tower has intricate patterns that are almost invisible unless you look closely. When you run your fingertips over it, you can feel a faint warmth, like that of a living thing.

Moreover, it seems to possess immense divine power, though it's currently unknown how to use it.

"Good stuff," he whispered.

The god who came last night was at least at the level of a god-king.

He casually tossed out a divine artifact; he must have a very deep pocket. If he had a few more… Lin Tian already pictured several divine beings standing in front of him, each holding a treasure and politely stuffing it into his hands.

Ha ha!

That's a really great idea!

Of course, that's impossible; you can only get it by destroying it. However, it can also be considered a gift from the other party.

He chuckled for a moment, then immediately dismissed the idea.

Greed is one thing, but one should still strive to make one's subordinates successful.

Lin Tian put the small tower into his system space. He'd keep it and see who would be suitable to use it later.

Anyway, I'm not good at fighting, so I'll leave the things that involve charging into battle to those who are good at it.

Heaven? Heaven itself is a god, but how could it possibly look down on such low-end things? Using them would only make it look more demeaning.

Let's leave it for now; someone will need it eventually.

He patted non-existent dust off his hands and turned his head to look at the sky.

"Big brother."

Do you have any powerful magical artifacts that can assist others in their cultivation?

Tian opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at him with only two words: "No."

"..."

Lin Tian's lips twitched.

Okay, it's okay if we don't have it; our own system is still the most reliable.

He looked away, leaned back in his chair, and called out irritably, "System, come out."

"Hey host, why are you being so fierce? Be careful, or I'll run away."

"If you run away, who will I look for?"

"snort!"

The system is becoming more and more like a human!

"Okay, okay, I take back what I just said."

"System, I'm begging you, please show me something useful. I really need something to assist my cultivation. You know how tense things are right now, what if I accidentally kick the bucket? I really need something."

The system was silent for a short while.

"Among all the realms, your system is quite powerful, you know." The voice carried a hint of smugness. "I'll just show you a little something, though."

Then the panel in front of Lin Tian automatically switched, and the system store page popped up.

Just like before, the useless and ridiculously expensive items on the shelves were swept away by a gust of wind, leaving a large area empty. In the blink of an eye, only one item remained in the entire mall, sitting there all alone.

Lin Tian looked at the name.

"The Great Array of Returning to One and Suppressing Spirits".

The small image shows a cluster of black and white light, its exact shape unclear, resembling two hands twisted together.

Lin Tian checked the price first.

100000 lie flat.

He counted them carefully: 100,000!

I currently have a total of just over 240,000 yuan. Although I can afford to buy it, my heart still skipped a beat when I saw that number.

Just two days ago, the price dropped from a million, and now another huge chunk is going to be cut off, like cutting off a piece of flesh.

He clicked on the details and read it word by word.

[Weapon Name: Unity and Spirit Suppression Array. A top-tier cultivation array inherited from ancient times, mysteriously designed specifically for cultivators to cultivate in seclusion and refine their primordial spirit.]

[Rank: Top-tier Spirit Rank]

[Core Effect: Gathers true energy within a radius of 100 miles, increasing the concentration of true energy tenfold]

[Description: Without the support of spiritual veins, the formation operates on its own, forcibly plundering the scattered true energy and Daoist essence from the surrounding void. It condenses and purifies the spiritual energy and true energy within its range tenfold. Once the formation is complete, it immediately covers a radius of one mile, isolating external interference, blocking airflow, and shielding against divine sense probing, thus forming a top-tier cultivation sacred domain.]

[System Evaluation: A domain formed within a mile, gathering spiritual energy tenfold. A cultivation aid formation for stay-at-home guys; Mom no longer needs to worry that all you do is fly and act like a pilot.]

Lin Tian stared at the last line of comments for two seconds.

"Your system..." He shook his head and didn't continue.

But the items are genuine.

It is a treasure that does not rely on the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, but forms its own cycle and forcibly plunders the true energy within a radius of a hundred miles. It can increase the concentration of true energy within the formation by ten times.

Once the formation is complete, it can cover an area of ​​one mile, isolating interference, blocking airflow, and shielding divine sense.

To put it bluntly, sitting down in this small plot of land, even breathing becomes a form of cultivation.

Although it doesn't seem to have the incredible time-manipulation effects of the Void Tower, it still seems incredibly worthwhile, providing at least ten times the true energy.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth.

"I bought it."

"Ding! 100000 points deducted for lying down."

"Congratulations, host, you have successfully purchased and obtained the Guiyi Zhenling Array."

The flat point dropped from 247492 to 147492.

Lin Tian stared at that number, feeling as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, leaving it bloody.

In just a few days, he went from being a millionaire to having less than 150,000. Who could withstand such a rate of spending?

"System," he said weakly.

"When are you going to upgrade again? I'm really upset right now, I can't take it anymore. I'm so upset, I'm broke."

"Host, the system needs an upgrade. We also need to see how you perform."

"...Fine, fine, you're the boss."

The next moment, he took the Guiyi Zhenling Grand Array out of the system space.

My palm felt heavy; a gray mass lay in my hand, like an irregular pebble, rough on the surface, cold to the touch, and with slightly rough edges.

If you throw it on the ground, probably no one will pick it up.

Tian looked over and his gaze fell on the palm of his hand.

Lin Tian asked in his mind, "System, is this really an array? Something you gave me feels really strange."

"Host, do not question the system!"

"All right!"

Lin Tian continued, "How do you use this?"

"Host, you only need to inject divine power and then place it on the ground, and it will automatically set up."

Lin Tian nodded and slowly mobilized his divine power.

A pale golden light emanated from his palm, enveloping the gray pebble in concentric circles, tightening its grip.

The next instant, a fine crack appeared on the surface of the pebble, and a dazzling blue light leaked out from the crack, making him squint.

He quickly bent down and pressed the pebble onto the ground in front of him.

"boom!!"

A silent explosion spread beneath the palm of the hand.

A mysterious blue array pattern rapidly spread outwards from the point of impact, crawling across the floor and lighting up with each inch it passed. The dense runes connected end to end, spreading out like mercury spilling onto the ground, seeping into every crevice.

Table legs, chair legs, door frames, walls—they continue to spread outwards.

The array patterns crawled across everything, leaving behind a very faint blue halo wherever they passed, which vanished in an instant.

Before long, Lin Tian sensed that the formation had expanded to a diameter of one mile, enveloping them within it.

The light gradually faded, and the ground returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Tian took a look.

No change.

He frowned, looked down at the ground, and then looked up at the sky.

Tian was also looking at him, his expression unchanged, but his gaze lingered on his face for a moment.

"System, I don't feel anything. Did you give me a fake?"

"Host, don't worry, you'll feel it soon."

Lin Tian was skeptical, so he closed his eyes and carefully tried to sense it.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

……

Ten breaths.

Quietly.

He was about to ask another question when suddenly!

"Buzz!"

An indescribable sense of comfort exploded from the surface of his skin, and his pores were stimulated by the true energy, which surged wildly into his body.

He took a deep breath, and the air around him felt completely different. Each breath felt like drinking from a warm, refreshing spring, soothing his throat and reaching his lungs, even making his chest vibrate.

My inner energy is surging!

It's getting thicker and thicker.

He could sense that the true energy within a radius of one mile was condensing at a visible speed, from thin to viscous, and from viscous to almost solidified, like an invisible veil covering the entire area.

Wisps of white mist rose from the cracks in the floor, drifting along the ground and dissolving upon touching the ankles, seeping in.

True Qi is overflowing!

ten times!

He opened his eyes, threw his head back, and laughed loudly.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

More than ten times larger than the Tianyuan Continent!

When one's true energy is so concentrated, even breathing becomes a form of cultivation; one can even break through to the next level while standing.

He was laughing when he suddenly remembered something, so he quickly stopped and turned to look at the sky.

Tian sat there, his expression still indifferent, but Lin Tian noticed a hint of surprise in his expression.

Lin Tian thought to himself, this formation doesn't seem to have any effect on the heavens.

He reopened the system panel, glanced at the balance, then at the operational status of the Guiyi Zhenling Array, his gaze lingering on the words "within a hundred miles".

Within a radius of 100 li.

How big is this city?

In other words, all the scattered true energy of the entire city, along with a large area outside the city, was forcibly pulled over and poured into this mile-wide area.

The formation, which supplies water from a hundred miles to one mile, is ten times more concentrated; it's even more domineering than he imagined.

at the same time.

Various places in the city.

The old apothecary was standing in the doorway of the room with the three figures. He looked at the three figures, and his hand, which was stroking his chin in thought, suddenly stopped.

Something's not right!

This feeling!

He raised his head, sensing the sudden surge in the concentration of true energy in the air, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"this……"

He had lived most of his life and had seen all sorts of spiritual veins, blessed lands, and grotto heavens, but he had never seen anything like this before.

The true energy between heaven and earth was converging in one direction, continuously flowing, as if being forcibly pulled there by something, its speed increasing and its concentration becoming higher and higher.

The bottleneck that had been blocking his body for so long suddenly loosened at this moment.

The old man's lips trembled slightly. Without thinking too much, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his energy.

At this moment, those he had summoned elsewhere also suddenly felt their true energy surge and feel extremely comfortable.

Some people quickly understood what this meant, and one by one, they stopped what they were doing, sat down silently, and began to cultivate!

True Qi is rising, the bottleneck is loosening, and cultivation is progressing.

Lin Tian stood beside the long table, feeling the extremely dense true energy within the formation, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

With this, everyone else who hasn't entered the Void Tower can improve significantly.

Having a trump card in hand gives you confidence.

Having this made him much happier!

He reopened the system, his gaze sweeping over the balance and then over the other panels. His finger slid across the screen and stopped on another page.

There is one more thing there.

I received it before, but haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

He clicked on it...

Above the city.

The true energy of the sky converged from all directions, flowing endlessly like countless invisible rivers rushing in the same direction.

The sky seemed to brighten for a moment, and the clouds were stirred by an invisible force, forming a huge vortex that slowly rotated.

The scene was grand.

Lin Tianruo sensed something and looked up. The scene resembled a tornado gathering, and it was incredibly grand!

He wasn't worried that any gods would notice anything amiss. This formation also had an anti-spy function, so its effectiveness might not be enough to stop high-level gods, but he didn't know exactly how well it could conceal anything.

At least for now, he's living for the moment; if things don't work out, he'll let fate decide. He still believes his side is currently the strongest.
