Chapter 2004: Orderly Reorganization, the War of Extermination Comes to an End
Immediately afterwards!
An even more mysterious scene slowly unfolded.
Originally, countless enormous immortal cities were scattered haphazardly and chaotically across the island...
It was as if it were being pulled by an invisible hand, slowly leaving its original position and beginning to move precisely and shift slowly.
Looking down from high above...
The thousands of majestic immortal cities are like black and white chess pieces on a chessboard, moving and returning to their positions in an orderly fashion, as if guided by some mysterious order.
It was as if there was a supreme being sitting high in the heavens, casually manipulating the chessboard of the universe and arranging the pattern of heaven and earth.
The geopolitical landscape of the entire island is being reshaped and reorganized at a visible pace.
In all the immortal cities on the island, any cultivator with even a slight foundation in cultivation and a keen sense of spiritual power clearly sensed the strange changes occurring beneath their feet.
A slight yet real sense of displacement came through the heavy ground, stirring one's mind.
The core immortal city, overseen by the Celestial Pivot Half-Venerable...
In an elegant restaurant overlooking the water and the street, two Foundation Establishment cultivators sat facing each other in a prime window seat on the second floor.
Sipping fine wine and chatting idly, one feels relaxed and content.
suddenly,
The cultivator, dressed in brocade robes and possessing a gentle demeanor, suddenly changed his expression, all his previous composure vanishing.
His brows instantly hardened like frost, his sharp gaze pierced through the window frame, staring intently at the vast emptiness outside the window, and his aura suddenly tightened.
The blue-robed cultivator sitting opposite him noticed his old friend's unusual behavior and was slightly surprised. He followed the other's gaze and looked outside.
outside the window,
A thin, transparent protective array enveloped the entire immortal city, its warm light filtering through the air, isolating it from the outside world.
Outside the great formation, the sky remained clear and blue, with fluffy clouds and bright sunlight.
There was absolutely no sign of anything unusual.
The deafening roar and the earth-shaking tremors from the outside world...
Not a single word of it reached the city.
The protective array of this immortal city already possesses the basic functions of isolating noise and stabilizing the inner domain.
As long as no one actively attacks the formation or breaks the barrier...
No matter how violent the commotion or how noisy the outside world, it could not penetrate into the city and disturb its peace.
After surveying the seemingly normal surroundings, the blue-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator looked puzzled and spoke softly:
"Brother Dao, what is the reason for this?"
His expression was so grave; had he noticed something amiss?
Upon hearing this,
The brocade-robed cultivator slowly withdrew his gaze from the void, his brows still furrowed, his astonishment and doubt undiminished. He said in a deep voice:
"Just a moment ago, I clearly sensed that this vast immortal city beneath our feet seemed to be slowly moving."
It's definitely not my imagination.
"The immortal city is moving?" The blue-robed cultivator's eyes widened in disbelief, and he shook his head repeatedly.
"How is this possible!"
The foundation of the immortal city is deeply rooted in the earth; how can it be moved at will?
"Brother Dao, you must have misjudged the situation!"
He picked up his wine glass and swirled it gently, his tone relaxing and tinged with a sense of relief:
"Even if we take a step back and assume there really is some unusual activity, or that the immortal city is shifting,..."
It has nothing to do with us ordinary people at the bottom of society.
"Our cultivation is too low; we should simply go with the flow."
"Moreover, the higher-ups of the Cultivator Association had already personally issued a notice informing all cultivators in the city that the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth were under control and there was no need to panic or seek danger."
Even the association's top executives remained at their posts and did not evacuate.
Why should we worry unnecessarily and create unnecessary trouble for ourselves?
Upon hearing these insightful words, the brocade-robed cultivator was slightly taken aback, and his tense mind suddenly relaxed.
After a moment, he couldn't help but chuckle and slowly nodded:
"Fellow Daoist's words are insightful. I was just being too cautious and worrying unnecessarily."
All worries have vanished.
The blue-robed cultivator raised his hand, lifting a jade cup filled with exquisite wine, a smile playing on his lips.
"The path of cultivation is long and the world is complicated and unpredictable. Only fine wine, gentle breeze and the elegance of life should not be missed."
Come, fellow Daoist, let us drink from this cup together and cast aside all worldly thoughts!
"Dry!"
The crisp sound of glasses clinking rang out.
The two resumed their leisurely drinking, putting the earlier commotion behind them.
Similar scenes played out repeatedly throughout the myriad immortal cities of the entire giant island.
Countless cultivators reacted with a range of emotions: some were surprised and doubtful, others were relieved and indifferent. Some keenly sensed the unusual activity, while others remained completely oblivious.
Ultimately, most people lowered their guard and returned to peace after the monks' association issued a reassuring announcement.
Just as the overall situation was beginning to stabilize...
The entire giant island suddenly erupted with an even stronger and more terrifying shockwave!
This tremor was far more violent than before; the underground spiritual veins surged, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth went berserk.
The entire void trembled slightly.
next moment,
An incredibly magical scene suddenly appeared.
Previously, the earth was covered with countless jagged, dark, and terrifying cracks...
It began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
click!
Click!
Click—!
The crisp sound of earth and stones coming together echoed continuously, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
Those deep, dark, and long, narrow cracks gradually contracted, filled, and healed.
The dark cracks continued to recede.
The shattered earth quickly recovered.
In just a few breaths...
The devastated and broken landscape of the entire island has completely disappeared.
The earth has returned to its flat and stable state, and the spiritual energy remains abundant and rich.
The terrifying scene of the apocalypse and the collapse of the heavens and earth just now seemed like a mere illusion, leaving no trace.
All the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth disappeared, and the sky returned to its clear and peaceful state.
And in the deepest part of the heavens, within that core space hidden at the edge of the void, where supreme formations reside...
The three figures, seated cross-legged in mid-air and silently guarding the area, suddenly stopped moving in unison.
The Daoist aura and spiritual light flowing around him instantly froze.
Then,
Cheng Buzheng, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, suddenly opened his eyes at the same time as his main body and the two accompanying Dharma bodies!
His deep, unfathomable gaze pierced through layers of void barriers, traversed endless distances, and landed steadily on the colossal island below that had reshaped the world's order.
It also allows you to take in the entire landscape.
Everywhere you look, the scenery is completely transformed.
The giant island, originally with a distorted outline and irregular shape, has now been completely reshaped into a perfectly round landmass with a regular outline.
It spans thousands of miles and has a grand layout.
Not only has the island's form been completely transformed, but the previously chaotic and randomly scattered immortal cities...
Everything was precisely placed in its designated position, exactly as Cheng Buzheng had envisioned.
The fairy cities surrounding the island are arranged in a neat circular array.
Each immortal city is evenly spaced and arranged in an orderly manner, with a proper balance of density and sparseness.
It contains the profound mysteries of the heaven and earth formations, perfectly formed by nature.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze slowly shifted, finally settling steadily on a celestial city at the very top of the circular island.
This immortal city is extremely special; it is the only city on the entire island with a gate that leads directly into the supreme array.
It is also a key hub connecting the human race to the True Dragon Sea.
Once the city gates are completely closed...
From then on, cultivators throughout the entire human realm had no further means to enter the True Dragon Sea and the Forbidden Sea.
This is equivalent to completely isolating the two sea areas.
In other words!
This immortal city is a continuation of the former Sealed Boundary Island, guarding the gateway between the two seas.
Control the passage for human cultivators to enter and exit the two seas.
The only difference between the two is...
The Sealed Boundary Island is connected to the Forbidden Sea via a complex inter-domain teleportation array.
The immortal city before us is even more direct and domineering; with its gates wide open, one can step directly into the True Dragon Sea and delve deep into the forbidden sea's heartland.
No transfers are required.
Taking control of this city is tantamount to controlling the only gateway for humanity to enter and exit the two perilous seas.
Holding absolute sovereignty over the two sea passages,
Its strategic position is irreplaceable.
besides……
The rest of the circular island is not within the core coverage area of the supreme array.
Apart from the gateway city at the top, all the other neatly arranged immortal cities are located within the inner sea territory.
Human cultivators can also come and go freely.
After surveying the completely new world, Cheng Buzheng slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes sweeping across the surrounding space.
In the surrounding void, countless intricate array patterns crisscrossed, and obscure and ancient Daoist scripts appeared and disappeared, flowing with the eternal aura of the Great Dao.
Cheng Buzheng muttered to himself, his tone tinged with a hint of satisfaction.
There was also a hint of regret:
"Now this supreme formation has completed its full-domain expansion, and its structure is completely stable."
Even if I were not stationed here, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to budge the formation in the slightest, nor break through its barriers.
The voice paused slightly.
He shook his head slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes:
"The only pity is that the Dao of this formation is too profound, and the mysteries of heaven and earth it contains are too mysterious."
With my current level of cultivation and foundation, I am unable to replicate or recreate it.
Such a supreme opportunity can only be enjoyed by oneself, and cannot be passed down or replicated, which is truly a pity.
In the blink of an eye,
The two avatars floating beside him suddenly moved, transforming into two dazzling streams of light that instantly merged into Cheng Buzheng's main body.
The Dharmakaya and the original body are completely integrated and unified.
In an instant,
A wave of intense, exhilarating pleasure washed over my entire body.
Like drinking from an ice-cold spring in the sweltering summer heat, it cleanses the body and mind, leaving one feeling incredibly refreshed.
This is the perfect satisfaction of the true spirit returning to its rightful place.
When the origin is unified and spiritual energy is clear and unobstructed...
His Daoist mind became increasingly clear and stable.
Cheng Buzheng's eyes lit up, and he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with anticipation:
"It will be soon. Once I have dealt with the last of the trivial matters in the world, I will immediately go into seclusion to cultivate in seclusion."
During this period of seclusion, I am determined to break through to the second level of my comprehension of the Five Elements Laws.
"I will not leave this place until I have reached the required level!"
Once the mind is made up,
He didn't linger any longer, slowly stood up, and swept his gaze across the core space of the formation without the slightest hesitation.
Its figure swayed slightly, its spiritual light receded, and it instantly dissolved into the void.
In an instant, it completely disappeared into the core airspace of the supreme array, leaving no trace.
As Cheng Buzheng left...
This core space of the array, which had once resonated with endless Daoist energy and roared with thunder, has once again fallen silent.
Only the obscure array patterns remained, flowing silently across the sky.
……
at the same time!
The lingering murderous aura in the world slowly faded away.
The layers of array light curtains that enveloped the entire battlefield were still trembling slightly, retaining the residual power of the battle just now.
Just as this land, ravaged by bloodshed, was beginning to find peace...
Far out at sea, on that circular main island, a barely perceptible ripple suddenly appeared in the void.
A tall, slender figure, with spotless clothes and a cool demeanor, appeared out of nowhere in the sky thousands of feet high.
The man stood atop the sea of clouds, exuding no fierce aura whatsoever, yet radiating an unparalleled pressure that seemed to survey all living beings and govern the order of heaven and earth.
The faint Daoist aura flowing around caused the entire void to become quiet and still.
next moment,
A powerful, resounding sound, like rolling thunder, suddenly shattered the layers of defensive formations and pierced the sky.
Its echoes resounded in every immortal city that survived the war, reverberating in every corner of the world.
It was clearly transmitted to the ears of all surviving cultivators in the world, and no one could avoid it.
"The war of annihilation has officially ended today."
All the battle merits earned by the participating cultivators can be exchanged for treasures and opportunities in the main halls of various immortal cities within one month.
Anything submitted after the deadline will be void; no waiting will be given.
"All young friends belonging to the Cultivator Association in this battle must continue to defend their respective positions and guard the Immortal City."
Adhere to the one-month transition period.
Upon completion of their one-month term, all will proceed to Zhenhai City to receive unanimous awards and commendations from the association's higher-ups.
"The rest of you who are interested in joining the Cultivator Association and seeking long-term development can apply for the corresponding position in Zhenhai City one month from now, based on the merits you have gained in this battle, and officially join the Association's cultivation system."
I would like to offer this advice: While holding a position in the association may bring preferential treatment in terms of resources, convenience in spiritual practice, and protection of one's status,
It helps one progress steadily on the path of spiritual practice, but every advantage has its disadvantages.
After joining the association, your personal freedom of practice will be restricted, and you must abide by the association's rules in all your actions and must not act recklessly.
Furthermore, the monks' association has a strict oversight system with clear rewards and punishments.
There is no room for leniency when it comes to ironclad rules.
I urge all my young friends not to let short-term gains cloud your judgment, but to carefully consider your own needs before making a decision.
The calm and solemn voice slowly faded away, its echo lingering in the air, washing away the restlessness and bloodshed of the post-war period.
Standing in the void, Cheng Buzheng's gaze was indifferent as he looked down at the scattered immortal cities and thousands of cultivators below, a thought flickering in his mind.
In an instant,
Suddenly, fine silver ripples spread across the boundless void before him.
Like a stone thrown into still water, it spreads outwards in layers.
Then,
He lightly stepped into the air, his figure transforming into an extremely dazzling stream of light, instantly piercing through the ripples in the void and disappearing from sight.
It was as if it had never existed.
However, his admonition and announcement just now were like a hurricane, instantly sweeping across all the immortal cities in the world and stirring up a huge wave in the hearts of countless cultivators.
Within the various immortal cities, the cultivators who had been resting, healing their wounds, and tallying their battle spoils all looked up, their expressions varied.
Quiet exclamations and whispers rose and fell, quickly spreading.
In a bustling, medium-sized immortal city, the once quiet hall of an elegant teahouse located on the street suddenly erupted into a cacophony of noise.
The cultivators who had been resting, drinking, and discussing philosophy put down their cups, their eyes burning with interest as they engaged in heated discussions.
"That voice that pierced the heavens and earth just now, could it be the association's supreme leader who is stationed in Zhenhai City?"
A Foundation Establishment cultivator, dressed in black robes and with his spiritual energy contained, looked up at the sky with awe in his eyes, raising his hand to point towards the clouds above.
His voice trembled with disbelief.
Hearing this,
Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators seated around the table, an elderly cultivator with a weathered face, slightly graying temples, and many years of cultivation slowly nodded.
His eyes were filled with respect as he spoke in a deep voice:
"Apart from that guild leader, within this realm..."
