The war came to an end, the Tianluo League wisely disbanded, the five supreme immortal giants also withdrew from the Tianluo Continent with their followers, leaving the entire Tianluo Continent to the Heavenly Court, tacitly recognizing the Emperor of Heaven as the master of the Tianluo Continent. This also caused the Tianluo Continent to enter a turbulent period, and forces of all sizes began to reshuffle.

The various forces that first joined the Heavenly Court began to settle accounts with their former enemies, some occupied territory, some scrambled for resources, and it was quite lively for a while.

Yao Yan did not stop this and even allowed the forces below to reshuffle. As long as the noise was not too big, he would not stop it. This was also the management mode of the successive continental lords, especially in a super continent like Tianluo Continent, where there were as many forces as stars and there were no less than thousands of first-class forces under the command of the Earth Supreme. It was impossible for there to be no conflicts among them. All that was needed was to maintain stable development and balance.

……

In heaven.

Yao Yan was entertaining an uninvited old man, who was dressed in simple linen clothes, had an extremely old face, white hair and beard, and did not exude any strong aura. Only mysterious array patterns flashed around him from time to time, blocking all prying and perception from the outside world.

Even if Yao Yan activated the chaotic power in his body, he could only see the countless array patterns spreading across the opponent’s body. The extremely complicated array patterns were imprinted in the space around him, changing every moment, evolving infinite power.

Obviously, the person in front of him is a powerful person with extremely high attainments in spiritual formations!
Based on Yao Yan’s understanding of the universe, there are very few powerful people who possess such attainments in spiritual formations. In the original novel, only Qing Yanjing and Old Man Tianzhen appeared, and there was no description or portrayal of other people. This shows how difficult it is to practice spiritual formations to the level of a saintly grandmaster.

That cannot be achieved by talent alone; one also needs to be able to endure loneliness and study carefully.

“I wonder who this senior is?” Yao Yan was the first to break the silence and asked.

“It has been a long time since I last appeared in the world. If you hadn’t made such a big noise this time, perhaps my old bones would still be sleeping… Ten thousand years ago, someone called me Old Man Tianzhen. I wonder if you know this name.” Old Man Tianzhen stroked his white beard and said slowly.

Old man Tianzhen!

It turned out to be this old guy!
Yao Yan’s eyes moved slightly. He did not expect that this old fellow from the ancient times would come to him. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “I have heard of your name. I wonder what you are here for?”

“I saw you fighting with that kid Qin Tian before. During the fight, you used the spiritual formation to amplify the power of the holy fire… I really want to know where you learned the spiritual formation!” The hand of old man Tianzhen that was stroking his white beard stiffened, and his eyes, which had been squinting, opened and locked onto Yao Yan.

Just for this?!
Yao Yan was quite surprised when he heard this, and said, “I am self-taught. I once got a formation diagram from a senior in the lower plane, and later inherited a spiritual formation from a powerful supreme being. During this period, I evolved a little based on my own understanding. I am sorry to make you laugh!”

The old man Tianzhen paused, then looked at Yaoyan in a rather strange way. He didn’t expect that Yaoyan learned the spiritual formation in this way. After a while, he laughed and said, “No wonder, that’s not surprising… I said, how could the spiritual formation cultivated by a dignified Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme be so crude? Even if he went to Daqianlou to exchange for a few spiritual formation diagrams, it wouldn’t be like this.”

“This item contains the fruits of my life’s work. If you are interested, please study it. If not, please find a suitable successor for it.”

He suddenly took out a light golden jade token, lightly tapped it with his finger, and pushed it to Yao Yan, with a look of appreciation and solemnity in his eyes.

“???” Yao Yan looked at the big gift package that suddenly appeared in astonishment, finding it hard to believe. This was the inheritance of a grand master of a holy spiritual formation, yet the other party handed it to him so easily. This was a bit too unbelievable.

Pie in the sky?!

“I have devoted my entire life to the study of spirit formations, and all the ways I have practiced are related to spirit formations, even the way I have practiced martial arts is the same. To enter the Tao through formations, one must devote one’s whole heart and soul to this path, and cannot rely on external things… I see that the way you practice is similar to mine, so perhaps you can learn something by analogy.” The old man with the spirit formation continued.

“Don’t you have a successor?” Yao Yan did not take the jade token. He still looked at the old man Ling Zhen and said with some confusion.

The two had no friendship, and this was even their first meeting, but the other party gave him such a valuable gift that it almost made him go blank. For a moment, he even suspected that this was a conspiracy to trap him.

“Everyone died in the ancient war, including me. I also died in that war. Now this remnant soul can only rely on the spirit formation to survive, and it won’t last much longer. As for finding a successor, it’s not that easy. The way of spirit formation that I practiced is not enough to reach the level of Heavenly Supreme. As for cultivating him since childhood… I really don’t have the ambition to do that!” The old man with the spirit formation laughed and said casually.

“What he said should be true. Even the residual soul in front of us might not be the residual soul of old man Tianzhen, but the spirit of his spiritual formation, which contains his obsession during his lifetime…” Luo Shen’s slightly complicated voice sounded in Yao Yan’s mind. Obviously, she knew this old man Tianzhen.

“What do you need me to do?” Yao Yan looked at the old man Tianzhen and asked.

“Protect this world for me. It is my home. Don’t let the evil people from outside the domain destroy it!” said the old man Tianzhen slowly. He passed the inheritance to Yao Yan. On the one hand, it was because of Yao Yan’s strength and talent. On the other hand, it was because Yao Yan was clean enough and did not have many traces of spiritual practice on his body. Perhaps he could appreciate the mystery of his formation and even evolve it to a level that he had never reached before.

“I can agree to this!” Yao Yan was silent for a moment before he said solemnly.

The old man Tianzhen smiled with relief, and then endless spiritual light floated around his body. The spiritual light turned into mysterious formation patterns, which turned into an extremely beautiful chapter and poured into the light golden jade plate, until his body completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

Yao Yan looked at the golden jade plate floating in front of him and still felt a little unbelievable. Such a heaven-defying opportunity actually came to his doorstep. He even suspected that this was a trap set by the will of heaven to deepen his ties with the world.

But if it was all like this, he wouldn’t resist at all!
Collect money to do things.

Having received so many benefits from the universe, he would naturally keep the evil tribes from outside the domain out, or even destroy them.

“This old man was a simple and pure person in ancient times. You don’t need to worry about any conspiracy.” A beautiful and dreamy figure emerged from beside Yao Yan. A pair of eyes stared at Yao Yan, as if knowing what he was thinking, and said softly.

“I believe this. One of my elders was like this… People who like to study are always easy to trust others!” Yao Yan said. He felt Yao Lao’s style of doing things in Tian Zhen Elder. Once he recognized someone, he would treat others sincerely. But such people are always easy to be deceived, and they are easy to throw themselves into the fire like a hero, until their life and death disappear.

“I hope you won’t let his legacy down!” Luo Shen said slowly.

“I will find him some good successors.” Yao Yan chuckled, then reached out and held the golden jade token left by old man Tian Zhen in his palm. As the power of the soul poured into it, a vast world of formation diagrams poured into his mind. It was a microcosm of the universe, and everything in it was transformed by the spirit formation. Even a speck of dust contained wonderful formation patterns. Everything was like this.

Real and dreamy!
At this moment, he finally understood what the other party meant by the word “rough”, and he also understood why the other party said that the path he took was very similar to his own.

The old man of the Tianzhen actually evolved the heaven and earth with the spiritual formation. If he finally completes it, he will be the way of heaven in this world!

“……” Yao Yan was astonished by the vast world transformed by the spiritual formation, and his heart was full of admiration for old man Tian Zhen. This old senior was truly a genius, and he had actually deduced the spiritual formation to this point. It was like a mathematician using numbers to describe the heaven and earth. Similarly, old man Tian Zhen had almost reached the end of this road, and the only thing left was to evolve real life with the spiritual formation and make everything real!
But this last step is obviously not something that a grandmaster of a holy spirit formation can do, unless he uses the world transformed by this spirit formation to devour the real world, he can make up for the power needed in this process!
He was very curious about how the old man Ling Zhen would complete this step if the evil race from outside the domain did not appear!
“But I can help you complete the step you haven’t completed yet!” Yao Yan looked at the light golden jade plate in his palm and whispered in his heart that the other party’s spiritual array was very consistent with his way of chaos. Once all these spiritual arrays were imprinted into the chaotic body, perhaps the Great Thousand World version of the chaotic body could be truly perfected!

No need to rely on the Sky List, you are the master yourself!

Above heaven and earth!

……

“Young Master, where is that old senior?” When the Little Medical Fairy came to the Yangxin Palace again with the brewed tea, she was immediately puzzled, because the old man who had been sitting in front of Yao Yan had disappeared.

“Let’s go~” Yao Yan put away the light golden jade token left by old man Tian Zhen, then looked into the light purple eyes of Xiao Yixiang and smiled softly.

Upon hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy did not ask any more questions. She placed tea and pastries in front of Yao Yan and began to handle the affairs of Heaven skillfully. Some things are no longer difficult to handle once you are used to them. Compared to the initial flustered state, she can now do things in an orderly manner.

Yao Yan looked at the Little Medical Fairy who was handling government affairs, smiling, and said softly: “Do you feel tired and restricted in your freedom? If you feel annoyed one day, you can just hand these things over to other people.”

Unlike the dynasties in the secular world, in the fantasy world, as long as there are enough things to do, there is no need to worry about rebellion from below. Now he has enough confidence to suppress everything and bring happiness and freedom to those around him.

Therefore, he didn’t want Xiao Yixian to do things she didn’t like to do.

“No way~ Besides, the young master is always with me!” The little medical fairy shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and her soft and fairy-like face was filled with a sweet smile. She looked at Yao Yan affectionately, and her eyes made people want to sink into her.

“But next, I think I will disappear for a while.” Yao Yan laughed dryly and said, “I plan to stay in seclusion for a while, and it will probably be quite long!”

The path of the chaotic body is not complete. He has only deduced it to the stage of great success. His original plan was to keep swallowing until the chaotic body was saturated. With the current state of his body, it would require a huge amount of blood and essence of living creatures to reach that critical point. The original plan was to achieve this step through the five original Dharma bodies, and the appearance of Old Man Tianzhen gave him an inspiration, which might allow him to deduce the chaotic body to perfection.

No matter what, you have to try it once or twice, after all, this involves your own path!

“Then you should just go into seclusion and I will keep a good eye on the Heavenly Palace for you!” Upon hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy’s beautiful eyes did not show any sign of disappointment. Instead, she spoke seriously.

“No rush. There is still some time. Let me reshape the Chaos Cauldron first.” Yao Yan nodded in response. It was time for him to fulfill the promise Qin Tian made to him. Once the Chaos Cauldron was upgraded to a holy item, he could also go into seclusion with peace of mind.

Before going into seclusion, he also had to eliminate some hidden dangers in Tianluo Continent, as well as the matters of Zi Yan and others.

He had a feeling that this retreat would not be short.

After staying with the Little Medical Fairy for a while, Yao Yan got up to visit Zi Yan. She had fallen into a deep sleep since swallowing the Bu Tian Pill, but the strength in her body was constantly increasing. Her originally incomplete dragon and phoenix bloodline seemed to have been replenished a little during this period of time. However, if she wanted to evolve into a perfect dragon and phoenix, relying on just one Bu Tian Pill was obviously not enough.

He pondered for a moment, then took out the dragon and phoenix spirits that he had intercepted from Longfengtian, raised his hand and ignited the Chaos Cauldron, burning the dragon and phoenix spirits with the Emperor’s Flame, turning them into drops of purple-gold blood filled with mist, which he poured onto Zi Yan’s brows to nourish her transformation of spirit and soul.

The true spiritual origin from the two supreme beings of the sky was so huge, and after countless years of transformation, the two turned into real dragon and phoenix true spirits, with even stronger power. Now, Yao Yan poured it on Zi Yan’s body, and immediately turned Zi Yan into a purple-gold dragon and phoenix egg. There was a perfect creature circling on the surface of the eggshell, which was the phantom of the dragon and phoenix.

After doing all this, he sealed Zi Yan into the lake formed by the Supreme Spirit Liquid.

“Nine Transformations to Sainthood Art… It’s time to find a chance to get it!” Yao Yan murmured as he watched Zi Yan disappear into the bottom of the lake. The Phoenix Clan’s Nine Transformations to Sainthood Art can help the Phoenix Clan directly enter the saint level. Although it requires devouring the essence and blood of nine super beasts during the process, compared to a true saint, the essence and blood of nine super beasts are nothing.

Yao Yan naturally does not need to rely on this method to improve himself. His way of devouring does not require so many twists and turns. However, with the help of this method, he may be able to peek into the mysteries of the bloodlines of some super beasts, and perhaps refine Zi Yan into a perfect dragon and phoenix.

Think of this.

Yao Yan couldn’t help but think of Hunxuzi. The path he was taking now seemed to be what this teacher taught him. Perhaps it was just as Yao Lao said in the past, he really had embarked on a wrong path. Instead of being a good alchemist, he became obsessed with the way of refining people!
All I can say is that Hunxuzi is not a good man and has led him astray! (End of this chapter)
