Chapter 374 – Entering Seclusion Again, Goal: God-Venerable Realm!

PS: I’m such an idiot… I forgot the Sword God persona already self-destructed… I should commit seppuku to atone!

“If I can accelerate the flow speed of Star Power, wouldn’t that allow me to attempt breaking through to the God-Venerable Realm?”

At the lake bottom, Qin Yang pondered.

After all, according to what the Beast God said earlier, there was only one limitation.

That was Earth Star’s insufficient Star Power, preventing Star Warriors from advancing to God-Venerable.

Since that was the case.

If he tried expanding the Blood Spirit Formation to accelerate the Star Power flowing down from the upper realm, wouldn’t that solve the problem?

“Let me try it first.”

Having formed this idea, Qin Yang focused his spirit and descended to the center of the Blood Spirit Formation.

The next moment.

Blood Law activated!

Array Inscriptions spread throughout the formation.

The ancient Bronze Pillars hummed, and the uneven surface of the water formed numerous vortices.

After entering meditation, Qin Yang released his water-like mental power, extending his perception outward to record every Array Inscription of the Blood Spirit Formation before transferring them all back into his mind.

Massive amounts of ancient and profound Array Inscriptions poured in, wriggling like earthworms, appearing extremely obscure and difficult to comprehend.

Immediately, the Enlightenment Space activated!

The originally chaotic and mysterious Array Formation suddenly became organized, neatly sorted out before being rearranged into clear formation lines.

Every detail of the array evolved different possibilities.

Rearranged and reconfigured.

But this alone wasn’t enough.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month passed.

Sediment accumulated, algae climbed over Qin Yang’s body, yet he remained as immobile as an old monk in deep meditation. Tens of thousands of derivation paths flashed through the martial space.

Dismantled, then rebuilt.

The small world simulated myriad methods, selecting suitable pathways one by one.

On this day.

After prolonged silence, Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, gazing thoughtfully at the central formation.

“Finally made some progress.”

His two weeks of enlightenment.

Had finally yielded a general approach.

But now the progress had reached its limit.

To delve deeper, he must expand his knowledge base, draw inferences from other cases, and employ external means to advance further.

……….

Shortly after, Qin Yang returned to Fuhai District.

Li Qinghe and Liu Wushuang arrived simultaneously, waiting in the Living Room.

“Master, why did you suddenly summon me?”

“Young Gang Leader, what are your orders?”

The two waited in the Living Room, looking at Qin Yang curiously.

“Yes, I have some arrangements for both of you.Qin Yang first turned to Li Qinghe and said, “I remember the Li Family has deep historical heritage in Array Formations. Go back and see if you can get the family elders to lend us some arrays.”

“Okay!”

Li Qinghe nodded.

“Master, don’t worry. Those family elders are so opportunistic. With the Exploding Heavens Gang’s current influence, they’d be eager to offer them to you personally!”

“Young Gang Leader, what about me?”

Liu Wushuang rubbed his hands excitedly, the word ‘progress’ practically written on his face:

“What can this subordinate do for the Exploding Heavens Gang?”

“You?”

Qin Yang propped his chin, pondered for a moment, then came to Liu Wushuang’s side and heavily pressed his shoulder:

“Starting today, I, as the Young Gang Leader, officially appoint you as… the Exploding Heavens Gang’s External Relations and Promotion Ambassador!”From now on, your full-time responsibility will be to collect Array Formations from across the land.””

“Exploding Heavens Gang diplomatic ambassador? Collecting Array Formations?”Liu Wushuang murmured the term, the brilliance in his eyes gradually brightening. Qin Yang had entrusted him with this important task, completely treating him as the backbone of the Exploding Heavens Gang.

“Excellent! Th-thank you for your grace, Young Gang Leader!”

“Rest assured, with this subordinate taking charge—whether through theft or robbery… ahem, I will properly negotiate with those people and make them personally deliver the Array Diagrams!”

…

A moment later.

Great Li Mountains.

“How intriguing, Qin Yang. You’re actually serious about researching the Blood Spirit Formation?”

The Beast God sat cross-legged within the Demon Sealing Formation, listening to Qin Yang’s account with keen interest, a flicker of concealed delight in his eyes. “After last time, I thought you didn’t care… turns out you’re just stubborn.”

“Tch, what business is it of yours whether I care or not?”

Qin Yang crossed his arms, eyebrows slightly raised, getting straight to the point: “Just tell me if your previous offer still stands?”

“You said before that if I was interested, you could provide assistance. You’re not planning to take back those words now, are you?”

“Hahaha! It stands! Of course it stands!”

The Beast God slapped his thigh with hearty laughter. “It’s just the secrets of the Blood Spirit Formation—I’ll transmit them to you then! Take it and research to your heart’s content!”

With that, he flicked his finger.

Sending a beam of crimson light out from the formation.

Qin Yang cautiously dispersed the sealing inscriptions, allowing the red light to float before him, probing its contents with his spiritual sense.

He suddenly froze for a moment.

Immediately understanding.

This red light was actually a fragment of memory.

From an observer’s perspective, it contained the construction process of the Blood Spirit Formation. Though not extensive, for him it was a tremendous gain—enough to continue deducing the rest.

“Take it. Although I didn’t directly participate in building the formation back then, I did conduct some research…”

The Beast God yawned, leisurely explaining while covering his face with the Blood Sea Domain:

“However, the Blood Spirit Formation is profoundly mysterious. Research won’t be completed overnight. As for you… well, that depends on your aptitude.”

…

…

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

The sun and moon alternated.

Lishui Lake’s surface bloomed with green lotuses, the lakeside filled with birdsong and chatter, shadows of people coming and going.

Residents could be seen everywhere picnicking, fishing with cast lines, camping—the atmosphere peaceful and tranquil. Patrol vehicles from the Star Martial Police Department drove through intersections.

Lishui Lake Bed.

Crimson, fierce glows fluctuated, array inscriptions chaotically drifting for a few breaths.

Suddenly, as a certain aura spread, all turbulence instantly settled into calm…

“Finally succeeded!”

Qin Yang scratched his messy hair, his unkempt beard scruffy, gazing contentedly at the array inscription in his hand as he slightly attempted to manipulate and alter it.

The next moment.

The Blood Spirit Formation hummed into continuous operation, as if entering an overload state, the essence blood within the formation burning frantically.

Tenfold!

Twentyfold!

A hundredfold amplification!

The black hole in the sky echoed distantly.

Vast amounts of Star Power poured down from it like floodgates opening, descending upon the human world centered on Jianghai City.

Qin Yang reached out, lightly brushing through the air.

As if tracing ripples across the starry river, his spiritual sense immediately transmitted feedback into his body.

He could clearly feel that the flow and changes of Star Power on Earth Star had become significantly faster than before.

“Soon, when this Star Power fully spreads, the concentration throughout the entire world will be amplified!”

Thinking of this.Qin Yang’s spirits lifted as he faintly sensed the fragile barrier gradually dissolving into nothingness.

He caught hold of an indescribable, elusive sensation.

“Excellent. The shackles of heaven and earth have vanished.”

Joy spread across Qin Yang’s face as he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Now that the restrictive shackles had disappeared, it meant the threshold to the God-Venerable Realm was gone. As long as he continued to delve deeper, he could reach the pinnacle!

It was time to break through!
