"Mm." Gu Yu nodded, and then the ten people began to perform the apprenticeship ceremony in front of the projection of Tongtian Daoren.
As Gu Yu watched this scene, he murmured, "Teacher, I will definitely carry forward the Array Sect and make array cultivation a major trend in this world in the future."
The ten people quickly completed the apprenticeship ceremony, and they all looked at Gu Yu.
"The path of array formations demands a high level of mental calculation ability and spatial awareness, which is why those two tests were conducted back then. Everyone's understanding and interpretation of array formations is different. While cultivating array formations, one must also improve one's cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan. With a longer lifespan, there will be plenty of things to do to study array formations. Most importantly, setting up array formations requires a lot of mental and physical effort. Even if you know the Qiankun God-Slaying Array, with your current cultivation level, your mental and physical effort will not be enough to support you in setting it up," Gu Yu said.
"Before learning formations, I will first teach you a Heavenly Connection Technique. The Heavenly Connection Technique is divided into Heavenly Eye Connection and Heavenly Heart Connection. After learning it, it will enhance your mental calculation and observation abilities." As Gu Yu spoke, several streams of light were flung out from his hand. The streams of light immediately entered the foreheads of the group of people, and they immediately felt that a strange memory had been added to their minds.
"Let's begin our cultivation!" Gu Yu said calmly. Upon hearing Gu Yu's approval, the group immediately sat down cross-legged and began cultivating the Heavenly Connection Technique.
Looking at the group, Gu Yu waved his hand, and a Gathering Source Array appeared around them. Then he threw out several balls of life essence. Although these people were all cultivators, their cultivation levels were indeed somewhat lacking, with none of them reaching the Core Formation Realm.
While they were cultivating the Heavenly Connection Technique, Gu Yu decided to use his divine source power to help them, since these ten people would become the founding ancestors of the Array Sect in the future.
As for Gu Zhongyi, Gu Yu waved his hand and moved Gu Zhongyi aside. Although Gu Zhongyi had not broken through recently, he was still at the peak of the fourth cone. If he got too close to these people, it would only disrupt his efforts to help them improve their cultivation.
However, since he was his father after all, Gu Yu threw several balls of divine source power towards Gu Zhongyi's location, which should be enough for his father to break through to the fifth cone.
Gu Yu's body emanated a surge of Origin Qi, and he immediately began to guide the Origin Qi, life essence, and divine Origin Power toward the blood apertures of the ten people.
After condensing the cone for his mother yesterday, Gu Yu was already quite adept at it.
As divine source power, life essence, and a large amount of source energy poured in, the group immediately felt their bodies sink.
"Focus on your cultivation, nothing will happen," Gu Yu said to the ten people, and then he continued to infuse energy into their bodies.
Time passed second by second, and three days later, among the ten people, the one who condensed the cone the fastest was actually the prodigy Li Ming.
His primordial spirit shocked Gu Yu even more. Others' primordial spirits were some kind of divine object, but the primordial spirit of the prodigy Li Ming was actually a blurry array plate.
That's right, this is indeed an array plate, Gu Yu wouldn't be mistaken, it's just that there are no arrays inscribed on this array plate, which may be related to his lack of knowledge of arrays.
"The primordial spirit is the array plate, could it be the will of Heaven?" Gu Yu murmured as he looked at Li Ming. Regardless of how powerful the array plate's primordial spirit was, it definitely had a unique advantage in array formations. It could be said that Li Ming was a born genius at learning array formations.
Next up is Mao Haichao, who is a grandmaster himself, but it's a bit unusual that he didn't condense his cone as early as Li Ming.
Two more days passed, and the remaining people successively condensed their cones. Looking at the group cultivating the Heavenly Connection Technique, Gu Yu moved.
Once outside, he looked at Mo City and immediately arrived at the central villa area.
With a wave of his hand, the Ten Directions Block Array was activated, and a stone tower immediately appeared.
Ten Source Soldiers appeared immediately, and Gu Yu exchanged tens of thousands of high-grade Source Stones. He wanted to build a Condensation Holy Land to help those who needed Condensation Condensation.
Under Gu Yu's command, Yuan Bing began to quickly place the Originium.
A Gathering Source Array can be completed in half a day.
Because of the need to store divine source power, Gu Yu specially modified the source-gathering array; otherwise, an ordinary source-gathering array would not be able to store and condense divine source power.
Gu Yu then unleashed the divine power he had gathered from the source space toward the stone tower.
He had collected quite a bit of divine energy; according to his calculations, it was enough to last for more than a decade.
Just then, the Cloud Bat God suddenly appeared beside Gu Yu.
"Master." He first bowed respectfully to Gu Yu, and then more than a dozen top-grade source stones appeared. Gu Yu's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the top-grade source stones.
He then took out the God-Slaying Array Plate, which was now inlaid with twenty-three top-grade source stones.
Gu Yu immediately placed the top-grade source stone in front of him into the remaining groove.
One…two…
At this moment, Gu Yu's breathing became somewhat rapid. The Qiankun God-Slaying Array! The culmination of Tongtian Daoren's life's work.
Twelve... thirteen...
As Gu Yu filled the last groove, the thirty-six arrays on the God-Slaying Array Plate immediately began to operate, and the entire God-Slaying Array Plate began to vibrate with a buzzing sound.
Gu Yu made several hand seals, which was the method that Tongtian Daoren had taught him to activate the Qiankun God-Slaying Array.
As he made a hand seal, the thirty-six arrays on the God-Slaying Array Plate suddenly began to change. The thirty-six top-grade source stones were embedded in the cores of the thirty-six arrays. At this moment, the thirty-six array cores were rapidly merging. With their merging, the thirty-six great arrays were also recombined in a different way, forming a new great array.
Buzzing...
Rings of chilling energy emanated from the God-Slaying Array Plate, making even Gu Yu, who already possessed the power of a true god, feel a sense of danger.
A dazzling golden light shone from the God-Slaying Array Plate, and the array plate suddenly began to slowly grow larger.
In an instant, it occupied half of the sky above Mo City, and the dazzling golden light drew the attention of countless people to the sky.
Boom boom boom...
The array plate suddenly began to vibrate. Gu Yu frowned as he looked at the array plate, wondering if it would fail.
If it fails, it will explode. Even he cannot withstand the power currently released by the God-Slaying Array Plate. If it really explodes, everyone in Mo City will probably die.
However, he is currently unable to control the God-Slaying Array Plate; it is operating entirely on its own.
A few minutes later, his concerns completely disappeared. The God-Slaying Array Plate had been completely transformed and its appearance had changed drastically. There were no longer thirty-six arrays on the plate, but only one. And the original thirty-six top-grade source stones on the God-Slaying Array Plate had now been fused into one.
Gu Yu formed hand seals again, and the new formation on the God-Slaying Array Plate suddenly started operating, instantly enveloping Gu Yu and the Cloud Bat God with a terrifying power.
The Cloud Bat God's expression changed drastically. It felt that it would be instantly annihilated by the formation, which was far more terrifying than encountering a Heavenly King.
At this moment, a look of wild joy appeared on Gu Yu's face. The Qiankun God-Slaying Array could not only kill true gods, but its power was enough to rival that of a Great Emperor.
Moreover, he discovered that the God-Slaying Array Plate created by his teacher, Tongtian Daoren, was not a divine artifact at all, but an ancestral artifact.
Gu Yu watched the Qiankun God-Slaying Array in operation and began to learn how to arrange the God-Slaying Array Plate. Unfortunately, after watching for a long time, he only managed to grasp a few basic details.
The Qiankun God-Slaying Array is a new array formed by the fusion of thirty-six major arrays. It sounds easy, but how is it fused? The densely packed light spots on the God-Slaying Array plate are constantly changing as it operates, making it impossible to calculate their precise positions.
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. "With my understanding of formations, even with the insights into formations left by my teacher, it would probably take decades or even hundreds of years to set up the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation. It seems that it cannot be mass-produced."
When Gu Yu sensed the power of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array, his first thought was that if this thing could be deployed in large quantities, or even just a few, humanity would no longer need to fear the invasion of the Source Gate.
A formation comparable to that of an emperor could absolutely put humanity at the top of all races, but his idea was too idealistic. How could such a formation be set up so easily?
"I can't set up the Qiankun God-Slaying Array for Mo City!" Gu Yu was somewhat melancholy at this moment. Mo City can only defend against demigods now. If a true god comes, he can flatten this place. It is very unsafe.
He looked at the God-Slaying Array Disc in his hand. The next second, he made a hand seal and pressed down suddenly. The God-Slaying Array Disc flew to the central villa area and burrowed into the ground. In the next instant, the God-Slaying Array Disc started to operate and continued to grow larger underground. The Qiankun God-Slaying Array instantly enveloped the entire Mo City.
To ensure that Mo City had no worries about its defenses, Gu Yu decided to leave the God-Slaying Array Plate in Mo City to strengthen its defenses. With the Qiankun God-Slaying Array Plate on the God-Slaying Array Plate, Mo City could truly be called the strongest fortress for mankind.
After doing all this, Gu Yu's face showed a sense of relief and strength. In the final analysis, everything he did was to protect the people around him.
With the protection of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array, Gu Yu no longer needs to focus his attention on Mo City and can concentrate on resisting the invaders from the Source Gate without any worries.
Over the next month, Gu Yu began to teach the group formations one by one. He wrote down the insights on formations that Tongtian Daoren had given him and passed them on to the ten people.
To help them improve quickly, he began traveling to several major fortified cities in China to set up formations for them.
As Gu Yu expected, the prodigy Li Ming was the fastest learner. He was extremely talented in formations back then, and if Tongtian Daoren had met Li Ming, he would definitely have taken him as his disciple.
Moreover, Li Ming's array plate primordial spirit can indeed inscribe arrays. Gu Yu instructed Li Ming to slowly study the thirty-six great arrays in the Array Heavenly Book, and strive to inscribe all thirty-six great arrays onto the array plate primordial spirit. It should be known that the Qiankun God-Slaying Array is formed by taking the thirty-six arrays as its core and adding its unique evolution.
Gu Yu even thought that if Li Ming devoted himself to studying formations, he would be able to set up the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation faster and earlier than him. If he could then spread the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation all over China, then his goal would be achieved.
Although Gu Yu wanted to set up formations in all the fortresses and cities, time did not allow it.
The source gate in the heart of the South China Sea is nearing opening after this period of time, and storms are occurring frequently in the South China Sea.
Although it is unknown what race resides in the Source Gate in the heart of the South China Sea, the more powerful the race, the greater the commotion when the Source Gate opens.
Gu Yu led an army of one million, including 500,000 Cloud Bat Legion, 300,000 Wolf Legion, and 200,000 Cockroach Legion, straight to the South China Sea.
Gu Yu did not send his million-strong army into the sea; none of the three armies he led were skilled in fighting in water.
"Senior Sister Bailong, Yunfushen, the Three Dragons, and I will go into the heart of the South China Sea. You don't need to go in," Gu Yu said to Bailong.
It has to be said that Long Aotian was very capable. Although Bai Long tried to hide it, Gu Yu still noticed that her aura was not right. At this moment, there was another aura in her abdomen. It was very weak, but Gu Yu could feel that Bai Long was pregnant.
"I'm fine," Bai Long said, knowing that Gu Yu had noticed her unusual behavior.
"It's better to be careful!" Gu Yu said to Bai Long. "Besides, this million-strong army needs someone to command it, and you are the most suitable person to stay at sea."
“Alright!” Bai Long said, seeing Gu Yu’s serious expression.
As Gu Yu looked around at the ocean, where the tsunami and storm were continuing due to the opening of the Source Gate, a Source Armor suddenly appeared on his body. The next second, he headed towards the heart of the South China Sea, with Cloud Bat God and the three dragons following closely behind.
The closer they got to the heart of the land, the stronger the storm became, but this was nothing to Gu Yu now. His current strength was comparable to that of a peak Heavenly King, and this storm couldn't even harm a demigod.
Soon, Gu Yu, along with the Cloud Bat God and the three dragons, arrived at the Source Gate.
At this moment, the source gate was almost fully open, the light screen was constantly expanding, and the passage was gradually becoming clearer.
"What kind of race is it? And why is it in the sea?" Gu Yu frowned as he looked at the Source Gate in front of him. In that memory, he had never come into contact with the Source Gate in the sea, but he knew that there would be Source Gates in the sea.
boom…………
Suddenly, a force emanated from the source gate and swept towards Gu Yu and the others. Gu Yu moved his hand and immediately dispersed the force.
The next second, a figure slowly emerged from the source gate.
Upon seeing the figure, Gu Yu's pupils suddenly contracted. The aura of the person in front of him was above his own, even surpassing that of the Bull Demon King. This made Gu Yu's heart sink; this person might be a Great Emperor.
Gu Yu hadn't expected the Emperor to appear so quickly, much faster than he had imagined.
"Gods and demons?" The figure frowned upon seeing Gu Yu. Even though Gu Yu had some source armor to conceal his aura, he still couldn't escape the Great Emperor's perception.
Thus, the two remained locked in a stalemate on the seabed, neither making the first move.
One side couldn't win, and the other side was wary.
But actually going down there wouldn't be the same thing.
"What race are you?" Gu Yu suddenly asked. The other party's cultivation was too strong, and his body was completely humanoid. Gu Yu could not tell what the other party's true form was at all.
“Water Kirin,” the Water Kirin replied.
"The Qilin Clan?" Gu Yu frowned again upon hearing the Water Qilin's words. Although the Qilin and Phoenix, even when they joined forces, had not been able to defeat the Dragon Clan, it did not mean that these two races were weak, but rather that their opponents were too powerful.
"Not the Qilin Clan, but the Water Qilin Clan," the Water Qilin emphasized.
"Huh?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the water unicorn's words. What did that mean?
"Back then, the Qilin clan acted willfully, refusing to listen to advice and insisting on waging war against the Dragon clan, thus violating the will of the Qilin clan. Therefore, my Water Qilin clan chose to uphold the ideals of the Qilin clan, broke away from the Qilin clan, and later proclaimed ourselves the Water Qilin clan," the Water Qilin explained.
"The will of the Qilin Clan?" Gu Yu frowned as he looked at the Water Qilin.
“The Qilin clan is the embodiment of auspiciousness, good fortune, peace, and protection. How can we provoke a war?” said the Water Qilin.
"Oh!" Upon hearing the water unicorn's words, Gu Yu suddenly showed surprise. "Then you don't plan to invade the human world?"
"Why would I invade the human world?" the water unicorn asked, looking at Gu Yu.
"Uh!" Gu Yu was taken aback. The water unicorn's question had stumped him.
"Since you don't intend to invade, how can you guarantee it?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the water unicorn.
"No guarantees are needed. Not only will my Water Kirin clan not invade, but we will also protect the human race and safeguard peace in this world," the Water Kirin declared firmly.
"Hmm?" Gu Yu frowned as he looked at the water unicorn. "How can I believe that?"
"Gods and demons, are you questioning me? I am the sacred Qilin," the Water Qilin said. "But you, have you already invaded the human world?"
"It's true that I am a god or demon, but I am also a human being." Gu Yu said to the water qilin. He was very skeptical of the water qilin's words, but when it came to fighting, he was no match for the water qilin at all.
"Human?" The water unicorn scrutinized Gu Yu. "You do have a human aura. How did you do that? Are you his descendant?"
"Who is he?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the water unicorn's words and immediately asked.
"Gan's disciple, a human, can wield the power of gods and demons," the water unicorn replied. "If that's true, then we are not enemies."
"Dry disciple? You mean Number Two?" Gu Yu pondered for a moment. He roughly knew who the Water Qilin was referring to. Number Two was the guy who had condensed the divine and demonic primordial spirit, and the one currently being manipulated. Only he could control the power of gods and demons.
However, he was not his descendant; he was a god and demon even more perfect than Bi Gan. But he didn't need to say these things; the water unicorn in front of him was not trustworthy.
"Number Two?" The water unicorn was taken aback when it heard Gu Yu's words.
“I suppose I’m one of his descendants!” Gu Yu said at this moment.
“Since you are his descendant, we can cooperate,” the Water Kirin said. “You don’t need to be wary of me. In fact, the Water Kirin clan and the human race have a deep connection. The former patriarch of my Water Kirin clan was the mount of the human ancestor. And my Water Kirin clan has another mission, which is to protect humankind.”
"Hmm?" Gu Yu frowned again upon hearing the water unicorn's words.
"I will prove it with my actions," the Water Kirin said, looking at Gu Yu.
"Big brother, it smells delicious." At this moment, Sanlong suddenly whispered to Gu Yu.
Hearing Sanlong's words, Gu Yu was speechless. Sanlong said it smelled good because he wanted to eat the other party, but the other party was the Great Emperor. Even if he wanted to give it to Sanlong, he couldn't.
