Chapter 15: Daluo-Level Battle Formation
Buzz!
With the sound of a system notification, a golden jade emitting a brilliant golden light appeared in his hand, its lingering aura almost materializing before Xuantian.
This was the system reward — the Qiyun Jade, a genuine and rare treasure from the prehistoric world.
Every treasure from this era possessed powerful abilities.
The function of Qiyun Jade was simple: once activated, it could instantly increase one's luck tenfold!
"This!"
Xuantian's face brightened as he learned of the jade's power.
This ability might not be very effective for ordinary people. Even if their luck increased tenfold, their baseline luck would be weak, so the boost wouldn't be significant.
Moreover, this surge in luck, like water without roots, would gradually fade over time, eventually returning to its original level.
However, for Xuantian, the Qiyun Jade had a surprising effect.
First, as the Patriarch of the Human Race, he sought to harmonize their luck. Coupled with his own already formidable inherent luck, activating the jade would increase his luck tenfold. While it might not match a Heavenly Dao Sage's luck, it would be very close.
Second, he possessed the Great Treasure Hunting Technique, a powerful innate divine ability that could locate treasures of opportunity. Generally, the more incredible the treasures found, the more luck it consumed. Therefore, by activating the Qiyun Jade first to boost his luck tenfold, then using the Great Treasure Hunting Technique, the treasures he could find would exceed even his wildest expectations!
Most importantly, the luck boost from the jade would fade over time.
Using the Great Treasure Hunting Technique now wouldn't be ideal; it would be better to wait until the jade's power has the greatest effect, fully unleashing its maximum power.
"Right now, the human race's fortune is still rising, so there's no rush to use the Qiyun Jade."
Xuantian suppressed the urge to use the Great Treasure Hunting Technique. Since relocating to the medium-sized blessed cave, the human race has again entered a period of rapid growth.
Both the population and their collective fortune were skyrocketing.
Once their fortune peaked, Xuantian planned to activate the jade and use the Great Treasure Hunting Technique for truly astonishing results.
With this in mind, he started to refine the Xuanhuang Cauldron, a mid-grade innate defensive spiritual treasure.
It hummed, emanating a profound yellow divine light and aura. Once summoned, it could radiate an aura of indestructibility.
Immediately, Xuantian immersed himself back in cultivation.
Meanwhile, the system notifications continued to sound in his mind:
[Ding Dong, the human race has reached 500 million. Reward: Daluo-level Battle Formation]
[Ding Dong, the human race has reached 1 billion. Reward: Heavenly Gang Great Divine Ability – Golden Light Soaring]
"Daluo-level battle formation and Heavenly Gang Great Divine Ability – Golden Light Soaring?"
Xuantian awoke from his thoughts. By now, he had completely solidified his position at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Moreover, with the human race's cultivation of fundamental body-refining techniques and the resources of the medium-sized cave paradise, his physical realm had again transformed.
His fundamental body-refining techniques progressed from early third transformation to full perfection of the third transformation — the physical Golden Immortal's perfection.
His physical strength and defense had increased more than a hundredfold compared to before, and the radiant spiritual treasure light emanating from his body grew ever stronger.
Clang!
Xuantian summoned the Gengjin Star Halberd, its terrifying blade slashing directly at his own body.
Only the sound of metal clashing was heard, with not even a scratch left behind.
At this moment, his body's hardness alone was equivalent to that of an innate spiritual treasure.
A single punch from him could shatter even an ancient sacred mountain.
Meanwhile, the human race's population had surged to a full billion — a hundredfold increase from before.
The system's rewards were equally astonishing.
The Daluo-level human battle formation was a formidable formation.
At full power, it could unleash might comparable to that of a great master — a Daluo Golden Immortal!
Among the two dominant races of the prehistoric world, the Demon and Witch clans each possessed top-tier formations: the Heavenly Star Dou Formation and the Heavenly Star Dou Formation.
When fully activated, these formations could unleash power on par with a Heavenly Dao Sage.
The human race was weak in comparison and could not match the dominant races.
Aside from Xuantian, the strongest in his clan were the future Three Ancestors of the human race, each at the Profound Immortal realm.
Being able to wield the power of a Daluo Golden Immortal with such a battle formation would be terrifying, making it the most powerful trump card of the human race.
The golden light spreading across the earth was one of the thirty-six great divine powers of the Heavenly Gang, taught by Daoist Ancestor Hongjun in the Zixiao Palace.
It was one of the pinnacle techniques of the prehistoric world.
If fully comprehended, one could achieve the ultimate speed in the prehistoric world, rivaling the Golden Crow Clan's innate divine power — the Golden Crow Transformation Technique.
"First, I'll teach the Daluo-level battle formation to everyone. This Golden Light Soaring technique is a great divine power of the Heavenly Gang. Even innate human races may find it difficult to comprehend it."
Xuantian murmured.
He first summoned the three future ancestors to teach the Daluo-level battle formation.
He taught them for a year and left them to learn it themselves.
As for the Golden Light Soaring, it wasn't the stinginess that kept him from teaching it fully. The great divine power of Heavenly Gang would be difficult even for the Heavenly Dao Sages to fully comprehend. Innate human race being weak would find it even more challenging to learn.
However, with the blessing of the clan's collective comprehension and the support of the Middle Innate Divine Being bloodline, Xuantian could start the comprehension.
After hundreds of years,
Whoosh!
One day, Xuantian opened his eyes, golden light flashing within them.
With a single thought, he travelled the entire blessed land and returned to his original location.
By this point, he had made minor breakthroughs in comprehending the great divine power of Earth-Swept Golden Light.
Even this minor success surpassed the full power of Wind Control Divine Ability in speed.
In an instant, he could traverse billions of miles.
Xuantian thought that even cultivators at Daluo Golden Immortal would struggle to keep up with him.
"The deeper you comprehend a great divine power, the more obscure it becomes. Currently, the human race's luck has hit a bottleneck. Cultivation in the Golden Immortal stage also requires divine artifacts containing the essence of the Five Elements to perfect the five energies within the heart."
Xuantian muttered as the Qiyun Jade appeared in his hand.
To attain the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Taiyi Golden Immortal must not only comprehend laws but also perfect the five energies within the heart.
This cannot be done through isolated cultivation alone.
It requires seeking divine artifacts infused with the essence of the Five Elements.
As the human race multiplied and thrived, its numbers had surged by over a hundredfold, and the resulting luck was equally astonishing.
Now, activating the Qiyun Jade and performing the Great Treasure Hunting Technique would bring maximum benefits.
And, while searching for treasures of opportunity, he could travel the prehistoric world, collect divine artifacts of the Five Elements, perfect the Five Qi within his heart, and swiftly ascend to the Daluo Golden Immortal stage.
Only then would true transformation occur.
Buzz!
With this thought, Xuantian immediately activated the Qiyun Jade.
Simultaneously, a profound aura emerged, causing his already astonishing luck to surge tenfold, practically becoming tangible.
It radiated dazzling golden light and even transformed into phantoms of golden lotuses of luck.
Seeing this, Xuantian did not hesitate and immediately activated the Great Treasure Hunting Technique.
Instantly, a massive suction force erupted, draining his tenfold luck at an astonishing rate.
Though it seemed like a long process, it happened in a flash.
Soon, all the luck materialized around Xuantian was completely consumed.
At the same time, an extremely strong pull—stronger than that from the previous medium-sized cave paradise—suddenly emerged from his body.
