Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Mountain River Great Array (Part 2)
March 3rd, the day of “Dragon Raising Its Head”.
In the suburbs of Hanhai City, a new palace.
In the center of the palace, Wang Chen stood on a lofty altar, holding a Magic Sword as he gazed upward with head held high.
He was clad in a pure white Taoist robe, woven from a thousand strands, and wore a Mysterious Jade Taoist Crown on his head, exuding an aura that seed detached from the mortal realm.
The appointed ti had arrived.
As the sun rose to the zenith of the Firmant, Wang Chen’s gaze intensified, and he imdiately ford a spell with his hands, activating the Mana within his body.
In the next mont, an invisible wind quietly erged around Wang Chen, whirling about him and spreading at a bewildering pace in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, it encompassed the entire palace within its cover.
And this was rely the beginning!
Almost at the sa ti, the seventy-two Mountain River Pillars scattered around the Hanhai Realm shook in unison, the runes carved on their surfaces lighting up one by one, like signal fires transmitting ssages, instantly covering the entire Prefecture.
The earth let out a deep rumble.
Flocks of startled birds took to the sky, and wild beasts ran out of their dens in alarm, countless rocks tumbling down from mountain peaks.
Above in the Firmant, the clouds roared with the wind!
At this mont, the people living within the Hanhai Prefecture were all shocked as they looked upwards at the sky.
They felt sothing was amiss, but could not understand what was happening, intuitively sensing that a monuntal event was unfolding.
Especially the hundreds of thousands of residents within Hanhai City were extrely terrified, so even knelt on the streets to pray to the divine beings!
At this crucial ti on the altar of the new palace, Wang Chen’s casting of the spell reached its most pivotal stage.
Using his power alone to activate seventy-two Mountain River Pillars was undeniably an act that surpassed his own limits.
Although Wang Chen was drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to activate the Mountain River Great Array, the seventy-two Mountain River Pillars were spread over such a vast area that, in a very short period, the Mana he had painstakingly accumulated was rapidly depleting.
But Wang Chen was prepared for this and, without a second thought, chose to burn his Fate.
[Fate -100], [Fate -100], [Fate -100]…
A hundred points at a ti, the information flashing before his eyes was like a cascading waterfall, the rapid consumption enough to make one’s heart leap with trepidation.
What was most terrifying was that, as each Mountain River Pillar was activated, the force of heaven and earth that resonated back was again converging upon the altar, making Wang Chen, situated at its center, as if sitting on a powder keg.
A single slip in his casting could an not just shattered bones, but complete obliteration!
Nonetheless, Wang Chen was the picture of serenity and composure; he directed the force of heaven and earth into the altar beneath his feet, which was the core of the Mountain River Great Array’s Array Eye, gathering Spiritual Energy for this vast Array.
Until every rune on the surface of the altar was illuminated, and the mont shudders began to appear, Wang Chen suddenly exhaled and spoke aloud.
“Rise!”
In an instant, dragons seed to surge from the land and the colors of the clouds transford; the entire world resonated with the roaring response.
“Stabilize!”
Wang Chen pressed down with both palms, forcefully suppressing the ferocious aura emanating from the Array.
“Open!”
With a crisp cracking sound, the bronze mirror in Wang Chen’s left hand shattered in an instant.
At this mont, all was silent between heaven and earth!
Imdiately after, strands of nature’s spiritual energy flowed from all directions, converging into Wang Chen’s body.
Every hair on his body stood on end and he seed as if he would ascend.
How long had it been since he felt this way?
One of the purposes of the Mountain River Great Array was to gather nature’s spiritual energy.
Similar to a Spirit Gathering Array.
But unlike the Spirit Gathering Arrays of the Haotian Realm, it also possessed a formidable ability to suppress Earth Veins!
Placed in the Haotian Realm, not to ntion Wang Chen, a re Golden Core Cultivator, even if he attained the Nascent Soul or even stepped into Divinity Transformation, he wouldn’t have the possibility to construct a Mountain River Great Array.
For such a heaven and earth Array involves profoundly significant karma, and would never be allowed by the domain consciousness of the Haotian Realm.
Whoever dares to do so will surely be struck by heavenly wrath!
But the Cangqing Domain is different; this world is a minor one, and the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao is still in a chaotic state, ignorant and obscure, allowing Outsider Heavenly Demons to enter.
That’s why Wang Chen was able to successfully construct the Mountain River Great Array!
Purified spiritual energy flooded into Wang Chen’s limbs and bones, his internal organs, penetrating every inch of his tendons, bones, muscles, reaching the deepest parts of his ridians, and finally converging within the Qi Sea Dantian.
In an instant, Wang Chen’s Taoist Skill cultivation level climbed to the peak of this realm!
He imdiately sealed his Dantian.
Above the altar, dark clouds had already ford, and the sound of thunder rumbled within the clouds.
If Wang Chen were to break through the limit at this mont, it would trigger a heavenly tribulation, and passing it could lead to Ascension to the Upper Realm!
The problem was that he had co from the Lower Realm to explore; ascending in this body would be absurd.
All his previous efforts would have been in vain.
With the Qi Sea sealed, Wang Chen’s cultivation level imdiately returned to the tier of a seventh-tier Martial Artist, and the clouds of tribulation above his head dissipated instantly.
Wang Chen took a deep breath and flicked out a ssage Talisman.
With a flash of fire, the Flying Talisman disappeared instantly.
Before activating the Mountain River Great Array, he couldn’t send ssages in this manner.
Now it was easy.
Moreover, no matter how much mana was consud, Wang Chen could draw from the Mountain River Great Array as long as this world did not collapse, effectively making it a limitless resource!
Wang Chen could even preside over the altar and control the Mountain River Great Array to unleash many powerful spells.
In this respect, he essentially possessed an unmatched weapon in this world!
Wang Chen’s conquest of the Cangqing Domain had advanced significantly.
He had faintly grasped the pulse of this world.
“Master!”
Before long, Princess Qingyun appeared next to the altar.
She ca alone, without any guards or maidservants—this was Wang Chen’s request.
In fact, in this newly constructed palace, there was currently no one else present.
“Co.”
Wang Chen beckoned, and Princess Qingyun involuntarily floated up, landing on the altar.
But she wasn’t afraid at all, instead finding it quite novel and fun: “Hehe.”
Wang Chen couldn’t help but pat the girl’s head and asked, “What do you think of this place?”
“Huh?”
Princess Qingyun imdiately ca to her senses, her pretty face blushing slightly.
Being innately gifted in the Tao, she imdiately sensed the peculiarity of this place with Wang Chen’s reminder: “It’s so strange…”
Wang Chen smiled faintly: “This is the eye of the Mountain River Great Array. Practicing Taoist Skills here will give you twice the results with half the effort.”
In reality, not just twice the result, but one day’s work could completely match the arduous decade of practice for an ordinary cultivator!
It’s just that the upper limit of this world wasn’t very high.
Wang Chen took Princess Qingyun’s slender hand, his nail tracing across her fingertip, and bright red blood imdiately gushed out, dropping onto the altar below.
“Let the mountains and rivers be the oath, let the Empress be Wu Zhao!”
Wang Chen declared solemnly: “From today on, your na shall be Wu Zhao, with Martial might dominating all under heaven, and the sun and moon held high!”
Beneath their feet, the freshly dropped blood pooled together to form the characters “Wu Zhao.”
Then, they rged into the altar and disappeared!
The Mountain River Great Array roared in unison.
