After returning to the Blood Sea, River Styx wanted to immediately hand over the Star Origin and the Star Fruit Tree to Qiankun Taoist. Unfortunately, Qiankun Taoist was still in closed-door training to comprehend the Law of Reincarnation and had reached a critical juncture. Therefore, River Styx could only plant the Star Fruit Tree on the Sacred Island.
As soon as the Star Fruit Tree was planted, River Styx discovered a strange phenomenon. The Zhouxing Force near the Blood Sea was attracted to the Star Fruit Tree. The Star Force on the Sacred Island suddenly became dozens of times stronger, which made River Styx somewhat happy.
During the Great Desolation, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was limited. The Cultivation Tribulation was to allow some living beings to return to Heaven and Earth and restore the balance of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, even if some of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was recovered, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was always decreasing during the Great Desolation.
Before the Longhan Cultivation Tribulation, there were many places in the Heaven and Earth that were filled with Spiritual Qi. However, after two Cultivation Tribulations, how many of such places were left? The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth today was probably not even one-tenth of what it was when Heaven and Earth were just born.
In the Blood Sea, besides the Asura Tribe created by River Styx, there were also his 480 million Blood Gods. The Asura Tribe could cultivate by absorbing the Evil Blood Qi, and so could the Blood Gods. However, although the Blood Sea seemed to be boundless, there was always an end.
The Asura Tribe now had hundreds of millions of people, and the amount of Evil Blood Qi they absorbed every day was an astronomical figure. River Styx's Blood Gods had reached the level of Golden Immortal a long time ago, but why did they not increase their cultivation after that? It was because they were afraid of consuming too much Evil Blood Qi. He also did not dare to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, fearing that the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth would come early because of the Blood Gods. Therefore, he only allowed the 49 Blood God Doppelgangers to reach the peak of Daluo Jinxian, and then stopped.
Now, seeing the Star Force attracted by the Star Fruit Tree, River Styx's heart suddenly brightened. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Great Desolation was constantly decreasing, but the Star Force had never decreased. If more Star Force came from the Summon, it was possible for all the Blood Gods to reach the peak of Daluo Jinxian, as long as enough time passed.
But looking at the Star Fruit Tree in front of him, River Styx also frowned. Although the Star Fruit Tree was good, the Star Force it attracted was still too little. Compared with the amount of Star Force that 480 million Blood Gods needed to reach the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, it was simply a drop in the bucket, let alone reaching the level of Daluo Jinxian. Moreover, the Blood God Doppelgangers also needed the Star Force to reach the level of Quasi-saint.
It was not easy to find a way to increase the strength of the Blood God Doppelgangers and the Blood Gods, but it was still not feasible. River Styx was also a little upset. Looking at the twinkling starlight on the Star Fruit Tree, he was stunned. Although it was just a tree in front of him, it was as if he was looking at the whole starry sky in the distance.
River Styx had been looking at the Star Fruit Tree for several years. Seeing River Styx sitting there in a daze, Liu Er and Kong Xuan did not come to disturb him. This was a moment of epiphany. They had experienced it before. A moment of epiphany could not save years of hard work. And at River Styx's level, epiphany was even more difficult to come by.
With River Styx's epiphany, the Star Force gathered around him, but it was not absorbed into his body. Instead, it gathered in the air and turned into numerous illusory stars. The whole Sacred Island seemed to be in the vast starry sky, which was fascinating.
"Phew." River Styx let out a long sigh. Looking at the illusory stars in front of him that dissipated because of his awakening, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Comprehending the Zhouxing Formation in the starry sky for thousands of years was not as fast as a moment of epiphany.
This Star Fruit Tree was really extraordinary. Not only could it absorb the Star Force of Zhouxing and bear Star Fruits that contained the Origin of Zhouxing, but it could also incorporate the operation law of Zhouxing into the tree. Branches, leaves, branches, and Star Fruits … This Star Fruit Tree was just like a miniature version of the Formation of Zhouxing. No wonder it could absorb the Star Force and gather the Origin of Stars.
After comprehending the Zhouxing Formation, River Styx immediately began to refine the Zhouxing Banner. The main material of the Zhouxing Banner was the Essence of Stars. If it were before, River Styx would have been worried about where he could find so much Essence of Stars. But now, he did not need it. During this trip to the ancient starry sky, River Styx had obtained a lot of Essence of Stars from the Zhouxing Formation and the bodies of the Giant Beasts of Stars that he had killed.
Although he could not refine a set of Zhouxing Banners like the Monster Tribe, it was still possible to refine 365 Large Zhouxing Banners and 14,800 Small Zhouxing Banners. Anyway, River Styx planned to use the Formation to Summon the Star Force for his Blood God Doppelgänger and Blood God's Doppelgänger to cultivate.
Although the Zhouxing Formation was unparalleled in power and was a great weapon in a battle between different races, it was not good enough for a battle between Saints. Moreover, if he wanted to display the power of the Monster Tribe's Zhouxing Formation, he would need a lot of manpower. Although the Ashura Tribe had hundreds of millions of people, they practiced the Cultivation Method of Killing. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to use them to set up the Zhouxing Formation.
As for River Styx's Blood God's Doppelgängers, they could be used to set up the Zhouxing Formation, but the Blood Sea needed the Blood River Formation to maintain it. River Styx relied on the Blood River Formation to Summon the Evil Blood Qi of the Great Desolation, constantly strengthening the Blood Sea and accumulating Tendo Merits. This was the responsibility given to the Blood Sea by the Tendo. If he rashly removed the Blood River Formation, he would probably be hit with Karma. After all, there were gains and losses, and it was not so difficult to Tendo Merits.
Even if he did not need all the Doppelgängers to maintain the Blood River Formation, the power of the Zhouxing Formation would be very limited if he used some of them to set up the Zhouxing Formation. It was not suitable for a battle between Origin Immortals. It was better to use them to Summon the Power of the Stars and improve the strength of the Doppelgängers and the Ashura Tribe.
It was not difficult to refine the Zhouxing Banner. With the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, River Styx's refining speed was extremely fast. It only took him a few years to successfully refine a complete set of Zhouxing Banner. This set of Zhouxing Banners consisted of 365 Large Zhouxing Banners and 14,800 Small Zhouxing Banners. It was comparable to a Middle-grade Innate Lingbao. When he condensed enough Star Origin on the banners, their grades would definitely be improved.
River Styx made a seal with his hands and shouted, "Zhouxing Formation, rise!" All the Zhouxing Banners moved with his voice and scattered above the Blood Sea. A Zhouxing Formation was immediately set up. Countless Power of Zhouxing was madly attracted to the Blood Sea. The Power of the Stars in the Blood Sea could be said to have increased by nearly a hundred times.
Standing on the Sacred Island and looking up, it was as if the entire starry sky had descended into the Blood Sea. It was very beautiful. However, after seeing the filthy Blood Sea below, everything changed. It was simply polarized. Fortunately, River Styx was not a perfectionist, so he did not care so much.
… ….
The changes in the Power of Zhouxing were felt by the entire Great Desolation. The first thing they thought of was the Zhouxing Formation. Only this formation could cause such a phenomenon. However, during the battle between the Liches and the Demons, the Demon Race's Zhouxing Banners were all destroyed. Since then, no one in the Great Desolation was able to set up this formation.
Now that the Zhouxing Formation had reappeared in the Great Desolation, the creatures of the Great Desolation were naturally shocked. After investigating the source, they discovered that this formation was actually set up above the Blood Sea of the Netherworld. The Blood Sea of the Netherworld was the lair of the Ancestor River Styx, a Primordial Chaos expert. No one would dare to set up this formation in front of his door. Therefore, it could only be that he set it up himself.
After coming to this conclusion, the creatures of the Great Desolation were immediately puzzled. The Zhouxing Formation was a secret of the Demon Race. There were not many in the Demon Race who knew about this formation. After the Liches and Demons War, there were even fewer who knew about this formation. At that time, only Demon Master Kunpeng and Demon Saint Bai Ze were left in the upper echelons of the Demon Race. Only they might still know about the Zhouxing Formation.
However, neither Bai Ze nor Kunpeng had ever seen the shadow of the Zhouxing Formation. If they really knew about this formation, they would definitely have set it up. Regardless of whether this formation was used to defend against enemies or for cultivation, it would be greatly beneficial to the two of them and the entire Demon Race.
In the depths of the Northernmost Sea, a palace sat at the bottom of the sea. In the palace, Kunpeng was sitting upright, holding the He Tu and Luo Shu in his hands. He was comprehending the mysteries within. The appearance of the Zhouxing Formation naturally awakened Kunpeng who was in seclusion.
Kunpeng was also puzzled when he saw the strange movements of the Demon Master Palace. He scanned the Great Desolation with his divine consciousness and discovered that a complete Zhouxing Formation had appeared above the Blood Sea. He was immediately shocked. When he was in the Celestial Court, although Di Jun was always on guard against him, he still managed to comprehend part of the mysteries of the Zhouxing Formation.
