After the old Palace Lord of the Blackwater Extreme Palace, the Demon Queen Ji Tianqiong, was restored, the Blackwater Extreme Palace did not make any big moves and kept a low profile.
Although the successors of the palace were not allowed to move around in the Mortal World, Ji Tianqiong herself never left the palace.
At least, that was the case in the outside world.
In Chen Luoyang's eyes, this was a stark contrast to Ling Cang's frantic search for the whereabouts of the black coffin.
If everything was true, did it mean that the black coffin had returned to the Blackwater Extreme Palace and fallen into the hands of the Demon Queen Ji Tianqiong?
Chen Luoyang was full of doubts.
When he was done with the matters at hand, he wanted to find a suitable time to meet the Palace Lord.
But for now, he had to look for the Wildlands and Eastern Zhou.
The Wildlands had not been completely settled, but within Eastern Zhou, it was a turbulent time.
As he pondered, he stood up and walked out of the Holy Palace, walking alone through the main altar of the Ancient God.
Along the way, the followers of the Ancient God all gave way to Hierarch Chen and bowed to him.
Chen Luoyang walked unhurriedly to where the Golden Parasol Tree was.
The dazzling golden light was not as dazzling as when he set up the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi, but it still covered the entire main altar of the Ancient God.
The closer he got to the Golden Parasol Tree, the more condensed the light became.
Apart from Chen Luoyang himself, no one else in the Ancient God could get within ten feet of the Golden Parasol Tree.
Even Xie Buxiu could only come into contact with the Golden Parasol Tree with Chen Luoyang's help.
Chen Luoyang walked under the tree and reached out to gently touch the surface of the trunk.
Although he used the Golden Parasol Tree as the eye of the formation to set up the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi, the formation he set up was much weaker than the one in the Innate Tomb.
Otherwise, the leader of the Wildlands Tribe would not have been able to escape.
If the formation in the Innate Tomb really unleashed its power, even a Martial Venerable would not be able to withstand it.
Now that he had set up the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi, the upper limit of its power was lacking.
Another drawback was that even if the current upper limit was reached, it wouldn't be reached immediately. It would take a certain amount of time to build up.
Against an expert like the Clan King, Crouching Dragon Sand, there was a chance that the other party would find an opening and break out of the formation before it reached its peak.
The Golden Parasol Tree could be moved, which meant that the terrifying Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi could also be moved. This gave Chen Luoyang a lot of convenience.
However, he still needed to let the Golden Parasol Tree rest for a while.
He immediately shifted the Golden Parasol Tree a second time. The damage to the Golden Parasol Tree was too severe. If he set up the Ancient Emperor Xi Stratagem in another place, the power of the stratagem might be even weaker than it was today.
He could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here at the headquarters of the Ancient God and recuperate for a few days so that he wouldn't have to worry about this.
After all, he was not Emperor Xi of the past. If he relied on the Golden Parasol Tree to set up the formation, it would be a huge burden on the tree. He had to avoid killing the goose that laid the golden eggs to catch the fish.
During this period of time, it was a good opportunity for him to seriously ponder and carefully analyze. He wanted to further comprehend the formation and find a way to make it even stronger than it was now.
This process was also beneficial to one's own cultivation.
The Sky-Stealing Sun Shifting Technique devoured the energy of You Hao and the others, helping him to save time and lay down his foundation.
The trip to the Innate Tomb and the study of the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth.
Chen Luoyang could feel that he was already standing at the threshold of the Eighteenth Level. He was only half a step away from the peak of the Martial Saint Realm.
By seriously accumulating and summarizing what he had learned, he would be able to cross this half step in no time.
He looked at the Golden Parasol Tree in front of him in Silence for a long time. Silence, deep in thought.
Until he felt someone approaching.
It was Xie Buxiu.
Student Xie looked at Chen Luoyang, who was deep in thought under the Golden Parasol Tree. For a moment, he didn't dare to get closer. He slowed down and stopped at a distance.
However, Chen Luoyang had already opened his eyes. "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Hierarch, the branches have sent back news one after another. The Barbarians have not launched a large-scale invasion. After the Overlord Crouching Dragon Sand retreated, the Barbarians seem to have quieted down," Xie Buxiu hurriedly reported.
When this news came back, everyone in the Ancient God heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Hierarch Chen had turned the tide and defeated the king of the Barbarian Tribe, Jiang Yi's disappearance still made everyone in the Ancient God feel gloomy.
They didn't understand the specific situation of the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi.
But generally speaking, formations often relied on geographical advantages.
From another perspective, it was fixed and difficult to move.
Hierarch Chen had used the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi to repel the king of the Barbarian Tribe's attack on the headquarters of the God Sect, ensuring the safety of the headquarters. Although this was worthy of celebration, the territory ruled by the Ancient God was vast, and the headquarters had never been the only place.
The headquarters was indestructible because of the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi, but other places in the Ancient God could still be threatened by enemies.
Just like the previous Western Qin Dynasty.
Although the crisis of the imperial capital, Zhengyang City, had been resolved, a large amount of land had been eroded and divided by the Eastern Zhou, Southern Chu, the Ancient God, and other forces. The entire territory had shrunk by nearly half.
Although the king of the Barbarian Tribe could not break through the headquarters of the Ancient God, he could still trap all the high-level cultivators of the Ancient God in the headquarters.
The other cultivators of the Barbarian Tribe could wreak havoc in the territory of the Ancient God.
It didn't matter even if the king himself didn't make a move.
The deterrent power of this super giant cultivator was there. Even if he didn't show up, how could the people of the Ancient God go all out and compete with the cultivators of the Barbarian Tribe?
Based on the style of the king of the Barbarian Tribe, as long as he couldn't break the Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi, he wouldn't allow his subordinates to attack the Ancient God.
But this was just a summary of his habits, not a promise. Therefore, no one dared to take it lightly.
While the headquarters was being reorganized, the followers of the Ancient God in other places outside the headquarters were on guard against the large-scale attack of the Barbarian Tribe.
Until now, it was still calm. Only then did everyone feel a little relieved.
But they didn't dare to take it lightly.
Even if the Barbarian Tribe didn't plan to attack, they had no obligation to keep the secret for the Ancient God.
The news that Jiang Yi's whereabouts were unknown spread all over the Mortal World in a short time.
The Ancient God had to be on guard against other enemies taking advantage of the situation, lest it followed the footsteps of the Western Qin Dynasty.
The good thing was that the few forces that had grudges against the Ancient God in the past were all busy with their own affairs now.
Needless to say, the Barbarian Tribe didn't make a move.
The Western Qin Dynasty was even worse. If the Ancient God didn't attack it, the whole Western Qin would be thankful.
The Buddhist Holy Land, Little West Heaven, was busy wrangling with the Boundless Temple of the Sea of Bitterness.
The Southern Chu Dynasty's Sovereign Chu was in closed-door training, and there wouldn't be any movement.
The Xian Tian Palace was the most miserable. If it hadn't brought back Ji Zhong and Tian Feng, it might have been destroyed at any time.
The phoenix was noble and didn't like to fight. If no one provoked it, it wouldn't take the initiative to look for others. Therefore, the Xian Tian Palace was more than enough to defend itself but couldn't make any progress.
And the Milky Way Faction, which had a personal grudge against Hierarch Chen, also had its own troubles.
Every family had its own difficulties, so the Ancient God could still live in peace for the time being.
"Don't relax. Continue to collect information from all sides."
Under the Golden Parasol Tree, Chen Luoyang ordered in a calm tone.
"Yes, I understand." Xie Buxiu bowed.
Chen Luoyang ordered him to wait and then summoned the new Basaltic Temple's first seat, Su Wei.
"With the cooperation of the Black Tortoise Temple and the White Tiger Temple, find 129,600 Parasol Trees over a hundred years old." Chen Luoyang flicked his finger and a stream of light flew out from his fingertip and into a jade slip.
"After the Parasol Trees are found, plant them on the periphery of the main altar according to this map."
After receiving the jade slip, Su Wei and Xie Buxiu took turns to look at the map.
Surprisingly, the two of them didn't reply to Chen Luoyang right away. Instead, they both fell into deep thoughts.
Chen Luoyang didn't rush them.
Moments later, Xie Buxiu said, "Hierarch, can we do it in batches? Don't worry, each batch will be planted according to the innate trigram and the previous batch will be strengthened. I will do it myself. "
Chen Luoyang smiled. He knew that Xie Buxiu, who cultivated the [Fuxi Heaven Altering Art] and came in contact with the Golden Parasol Tree, understood his intention.
"Sure," Chen Luoyang nodded.
Xie Buxiu then looked at Su Wei and Su Wei nodded, "If it's in batches, there's no problem. I will help the Hierarch and First Seat Xie gather these Parasol Trees as soon as possible."
Although he had just taken over the Basaltic Temple, Su Wei was confident and unhurried.
He had heard his younger brother mention the structure of the Innate Tomb and now understood Chen Luoyang's intentions.
"Go." Chen Luoyang waved his hand, and the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Halls' First Seats retreated.
Hierarch Chen turned back to look at the Golden Parasol Tree in front of him.
He couldn't completely relax over at the Wilderness.
The Wilderness didn't launch a large-scale attack after the tribe king retreated, but who knew if the tribe king wasn't going to attack because he was injured?
This guy's strength was truly domineering.
With the Skyfiend gone and Blood River dead, it wasn't too much for the Tyrant to call himself the number one of the Red Dust Demonic Dao.
Chen Luoyang had seen almost all of the Red Dust Demonic Dao's ten powerhouses. Among them, only Bie Donglai could fight the Tyrant.
The Master of the Sea of Misery, Boundless Temple's Abbot Fa Kong, if he could completely comprehend the Tathagata Demonic Palm's eighth move, Eternal Fallen Samsara, he might be able to fight the Tyrant. But before that, there was no hope.
The rest were no match for the "Tyrant" Crouching Dragon Sand one-on-one.
The only possible exception was the Black Water Extreme Palace's old Palace Lord, Ji Tianqiong. Chen Luoyang didn't know much about her. She was too mysterious, and it was hard to make a conclusion.
But according to the rumors when she was in power a hundred years ago, she was probably no match for the Desolate Tribe's King, Crouching Dragon Sand.
"The silver-white light that protected his body must have originated from the platinum decree …" Chen Luoyang muttered to himself.
Although the tribe king was proud and addicted to martial arts, he wasn't a one-track mind that only focused on offense.
Back in the Wilderness, because he had protected the queen, Abbot Fa Kong and the old Sword Immortal had both been injured. The tribe king had clearly learned his lesson.
In Emperor Xi's Ancient Formation, the silver-white light that increased his defense must have originated from the Renhuang platinum decree's power.
But it wasn't the decree itself. Instead, it was his comprehension of the decree's principles, which he had integrated into his martial arts. While his attacks were still sharp, his defense was stronger than before. Otherwise, he might not have been able to break out of Emperor Xi's Ancient Formation alive.
This person's martial arts talent was truly astonishing.
Chen Luoyang was deep in thought.
Two orbs of light, one green and one yellow, appeared in his mind.
The green wood decree and the yellow earth decree appeared together.
