The existence of formation arrays was primarily to achieve special purposes, one of which was to use weakness to triumph over strength.
However, setting up an array required time and lacked proactivity.
Take the Mountain Protection Array, for example, it needed to wait for someone to attack before it could show its effectiveness, and it couldn’t pursue and kill enemies.
Another downside of formation arrays is the more powerful the array, the more cultivators are required to sustain it.
It is said that in the Immortal Realm, there is an ancient peculiar formation of immense power called the “Ten Thousand Immortals Formation,” which can be formed by ten thousand Loose Immortals. By combining the power of ten thousand Loose Immortals, even a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor who enters the array would be reduced to ashes.
If ten thousand Daluo Golden Immortals made up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and there was a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor powerhouse anchoring the formation’s core, Lu Changsheng dared not imagine the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
“Mount Shu still needs an Emperor Tier formation array as its Mountain Protection Array, and this Minor Celestial Circulation Star Battle Array is useful to me, so I might as well get another set of formation arrays.”
Lu Changsheng decided to keep the Minor Zhoutian Star Banner for himself first.
After all, Lu Changsheng was the Sect Leader of Mount Shu; the stronger Lu Changsheng was, the less others would dare to contend with Mount Shu.
With the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator in hand, it was not difficult for Lu Changsheng to come up with an Emperor Tier formation array.
Lu Changsheng went to the Treasure Pavilion of the Taihua Divine Mountain.
The higher Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, the sharper his six senses.
He could clearly feel that there were several Immortal Emperors secretly monitoring every move in the Treasure Pavilion.
Among them, there was even a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor.
This Supreme Elder should be the true steward of the Treasure Pavilion, usually cultivating in a nearby cave dwelling, not showing himself easily.
The ones who usually looked after the Treasure Pavilion were a group of Elders at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and some disciples.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s arrival, the Treasure Pavilion Elders rushed to greet him, their hands rubbing together in eagerness.
Lu Changsheng was a major patron of the Treasure Pavilion, and also the number one talent of the Holy Land.
Currently, Lu Changsheng ranked second on the Qilin Ranking, matching Lin Xuantong’s record.
If it weren’t for that person, Lu Changsheng would have already been considered the top talent of the age.
Of course, that was the official stance.
But after all, the Qilin Ranking of the Purple Void Palace only recorded the young talents of the Immortal Realm’s human race who had taken action, it did not record some hidden talents of the human race, nor the talents from the Demon Realm and Demon Race, so no one really knew who the true number one talent of the age was.
The people of Taihua Divine Mountain believed that it was very likely that Lu Changsheng would replace Lin Xuantong several million years later and take charge of the Taihua Divine Mountain.
Therefore, the Elders of the Treasure Pavilion were even more courteous, “May I ask what treasure Holy Son is here for in the Treasure Pavilion this time?”
“I need a batch of treasures for setting up an array.”
“Does the Holy Son also study formation arrays?”
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, and all the Elders of the Treasure Pavilion showed their utmost respect.
The Holy Son is truly worth his title, proficient in all Three Thousand Great Dao.
The gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs.
No, wait, the dogs raised by Lu Changsheng seem to have higher aptitude than them.
“…”
Realizing this, the Treasure Pavilion Elders felt their faces flush red with shame.
“May I know what level of treasures for setting up an array does the Holy Son want?”
“Holy Artifacts will do, but Ultimate Treasures will do as well.”
“Strange, with the Holy Son’s current cultivation, such treasures are of minimal help to the Holy Son, why…”
“These are instructional tools for guiding my disciples in formation array cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng casually fabricated a reason.
The Elders of the Treasure Pavilion showed an admiring gaze again.
Not only was the Holy Son proficient in the Three Thousand Great Dao, but his ability to instruct disciples was also extraordinary.
In Lu Changsheng’s ranks, there were four disciples who entered the top one hundred of the Qilin Ranking simultaneously!
It was unprecedented!
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng found that the group of Elders were so busy worshiping him that they had forgotten to get to work.
This time, he intended to obtain a batch of array-forming magical items, then bestow them upon his disciples, to generate even more high-level magical items.
“We almost forgot,” they quickly said, “bring out the array-forming treasures for the Holy Son to choose from.”
The people from the Treasure Pavilion of Mount Shu finally regained their senses and hurriedly went to fetch the magical items for array formation.
“This is the Bagua Mirror, a mid-grade Holy Artifact, which serves as the eye of the Bagua Killing Formation.”
“Volcanic Flame Iron, a high-grade Ultimate Treasure, the eye of the Fire Flame Spirit Formation.”
“Ghost King Pearl, a high-grade Holy Artifact, the eye of the Reincarnation Ghost Slayer Formation.”
“Five Directions Immortal Emperor Sword, a high-grade Holy Artifact, the eye of the Five Directions Sword Array.”
…
The Treasure Pavilion of Mount Tai Hua indeed possessed many magical artifacts, quickly bringing out dozens of items, ranging from Ultimate Treasures to Holy Artifacts.
Lu Changsheng waved his hand, and redeemed them all.
Then, Lu Changsheng, with these treasures in tow, returned to Yuntai Peak.
Lu Changsheng one by one bestowed them upon Lin Qingzhi.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a high-grade Ultimate Treasure “Volcanic Flame Iron,” and received an eight hundredfold return reward from Disciple Apprenticeship: a low-grade Holy Artifact “Divine Fire Mirror from Beyond the Heavens.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a low-grade Holy Artifact “Divine Fire Mirror from Beyond the Heavens,” and received a three thousandfold return reward from Disciple Apprenticeship: a high-grade Holy Artifact “Flame Dragon Column.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a high-grade Holy Artifact “Ghost King Pearl,” and received a ten thousandfold return reward from Disciple Apprenticeship: a mid-grade Emperor Soldier “Soul Devouring Ghost Eye Bead.”]
…
Lu Changsheng acquired thirteen gloomy, pitch-black beads, which could form the Emperor Tier mid-grade Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation.
The might of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation was strong enough to become Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array.
However, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation’s aura was grim and did not fit the temperament of Mount Shu, making it unsuitable to become Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array.
Lu Changsheng continued mentoring his disciples.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a high-grade Holy Artifact “Five Directions Immortal Emperor Sword,” and received a hundredfold return reward from Disciple Apprenticeship: a low-grade Emperor Soldier “Five Elements Emperor Banner.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a low-grade Emperor Soldier “Five Elements Emperor Banner,” and received a hundredfold return reward from Disciple Apprenticeship: a mid-grade Emperor Soldier “Ten Directions Immortal Emperor Daoist Banner.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a mid-grade Holy Artifact “Bagua Mirror,” and received a millionfold return reward from Disciple Apprenticeship: a mid-grade Emperor Soldier “True Yang Bagua Mirror.”]
This time the system returned eight crimson mirrors, which could form the “True Yang Bagua Great Formation.”
The True Yang Bagua Great Formation could summon True Solar Divine Fire and suppress all demons and heretics.
This set of formations indeed matched the character of Mount Shu.
As for the power of the True Yang Bagua Great Formation, it was slightly inferior to the Minor Celestial Circulation Star Battle Formation.
“There are also ten Ten Directions Immortal Emperor Daoist Banners, which could be arranged around Yuntai Peak to form a protective array. Later, when my disciple becomes an Immortal Emperor, I will bestow them.”
Lu Changsheng placed the ten Immortal Emperor Banners around his current dwelling.
Although Tai Hua Divine Mountain had its barriers, and many ancestors were seated there, making few dare to forcefully intrude on Tai Hua Divine Mountain, Lu Changsheng still set up a formation, just to be safe.
Tai Hua Holy Land was not united either; there were also factional divisions within.
“Wait, I have many disciples, and when they grow up, they will at least reach the level of a Great Accomplishment Golden Immortal. If these disciples join forces to activate the formations, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated, and their strength might even surpass mine.”
Lu Changsheng thought of his ten Direct Disciples, and others like Tang Ling’er, Daoist Earth Hound, Xiaojin, Jianjia, Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, Shangguan Zhao’er, Grandmaster Tailin, Grandmaster Taixu, Fairy Qingxia, Lin Qinghan, who he shared a deep relationship with; the power of the formations when activated by these people in unison was unimaginable.
“My ten Direct Disciples, Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, Ji Xuan, Chen Yao, Dugu Aotian, and Su Xiaoqi, have already become Quasi-Emperors. The other disciples are just a bit behind. During this time, I will focus on cultivating Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and Chen Yi. As for Mo Huazhi and Shen Xiaoyao, I still do not know their whereabouts. However, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator shows that both are safe and their cultivation is nearing the Quasi-Emperor realm.”
Lu Changsheng could only temporarily focus on cultivating Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and Chen Yi.
There wasn’t much to say about Ning Qianqian, with her Dragon Emperor Bloodline; as long as she was given enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, she would become a Quasi-Emperor on her own.
As for Xiao Fan, Lu Changsheng decided to let him devour a few more types of Spiritual Fires.
Chen Yi’s cultivation method was a bit special.
As a reincarnation of an Ancient Buddha, Chen Yi not only needed to cultivate the Buddha’s teachings but also had to perform good deeds, save those in suffering, accumulate merit, and seek sudden enlightenment.
It is said, “lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot.”

Chen Yi’s cultivation, somewhat similar to Lin Qingzhi’s, saw both having frequent moments of enlightenment, and one day, perhaps, they would become a Quasi-Buddha.
