My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 178 River Channel

Although they cannot yet compare with the renowned 365 main peaks of the Lingbao Dao Sect, they are already comparable to the 1,296 secondary peaks.

With the birth of these 180 sacred mountains, the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation will become even more powerful.

It should be noted that the reason why formations are called the "path to heaven" is because they have the ability to connect the power of heaven and earth.

The formations in the Divine Realm are not incapable of communicating with the power of heaven and earth; however, because the spiritual energy scattered in the outside world is too scarce in the Divine Realm itself, even if it is borrowed, it is difficult to produce significant effects, so its practical significance is not great.

However, if the entire divine realm is used as a basis, and the formation changes are successfully advanced to the second level, the situation is completely different.

At that time, the great formation will be able to continuously draw immense power from within the divine realm, thereby gradually enhancing its strength and continuously increasing the power contained within the formation, ultimately unleashing unimaginable terrifying power.

It must be said that advanced formations are far more powerful than one can imagine.

The momentum was like a surging torrent, continuously gathering and condensing power until it climbed to such an astonishing height.

Even though the understanding of the external changes of the formation has progressed to the third stage—miniaturization, it is still like a small horse pulling a large cart when faced with such a magnificent formation. Successfully miniaturizing it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Even worse, when the formation develops to a certain extent, even using its power becomes a luxury.

Without a profound understanding of formations, if one simply allows the formation's power to accumulate endlessly, even the formation's master will eventually lose control of it.

This is why the Fire Crow Sect's Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation is often kept closed, precisely to prevent the formation's power from accumulating excessively and causing a situation that gets out of control.

However, none of this was a problem for Zhao Xuan. With his unparalleled mastery of formations, no matter how frantically the formation gathered power, it could not escape his control.

After the entire Wanya Sect's divine domain was completely wiped out, the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation did not stop there. Instead, it seemed to have found a new target and began to guide the flow of the Divine River.

The waters of this sacred river are truly magical.

If the two divine rivers did not converge and inspire each other with the Daoist principles they contained, then it would be no different from ordinary water.

Even if one obtains water from different divine rivers through various means and artificially causes them to converge, it is still impossible to stimulate that unique Daoist charm.

It was as if some mysterious and unpredictable mechanism was quietly at work.

At first, people were puzzled by this, but with continuous exploration and research, they eventually discovered that it was all inextricably linked to the river.

After a long period of sedimentation and nourishment, the riverbed of the Divine River has transformed into a rare and breathtaking treasure.

However, the river channel itself does not actively expand outward; only the surging river water can truly spread outward.

As the river rushes and flows like a wild horse, the riverbed will extend accordingly. When the two divine rivers meet, the two peerless treasures are like two unparalleled masters meeting, and they will always have to compete to determine who is superior.

It was at this moment that the Daoist essence hidden within the Divine River was finally activated and released.

It is worth noting why not all confluences of divine rivers result in the creation of divine realms.

Therefore, the formation of the Divine River is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but rather requires an extremely long period of time.

Not every confluence of two rivers is qualified to become a divine realm. Only after the river channel has been carefully nurtured and shaped into its mature form can a captivating divine realm be formed.

Moreover, the land that can successfully attract the flow of the divine river and smoothly open up its channels must be extraordinary land, containing abundant and rich spiritual power.

Therefore, although cultivators possess the astonishing power to create rivers from land, few are willing to personally open up waterways and guide the divine rivers to flow and converge, thus constructing a divine realm.

After all, if a riverbed is to be transformed into a divine realm, it must already contain a considerable amount of priceless and precious resources.

Only when the waters of the divine river and its course complement each other can they jointly create a divine realm.

The Divine River is like a highly skilled and experienced master craftsman, possessing a magical and unique ability to skillfully integrate various resources and precisely extract the most precious and core essence from them.

However, if certain resources are already ready for direct use, why waste so much precious time letting them slowly settle and accumulate in the riverbed before painstakingly extracting them?

This method is both time-consuming and laborious.

Because of the special property that the Shenhe River water "does not flow except in precious places", some astute people have discovered the business opportunities it contains.

They often choose to explore and develop newly opened areas in the Divine River.

As time went on, this situation became increasingly common, leading to a gradual decrease in the number of newly formed divine realms.

Without sufficient resources to nurture a river capable of stimulating the divine river's essence, the divine realm cannot take shape.

After Zhao Xuan successfully strengthened a total of 180 sacred mountains, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind. These 180 sacred mountains, from any perspective, were undoubtedly rare and precious treasures.

Perhaps we could try to draw the waters of the Divine River to this place, and then use the power of the formation to stimulate and catalyze it; maybe we could really give birth to a brand new divine realm.

However, relying solely on the existing divine river within the Fire Raven Sect's divine domain is clearly far from sufficient.

The two rivers existing in the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain are nothing compared to a quasi-large divine domain as vast as the Three Immortal Islands, let alone a medium-sized divine domain like Mount Luofu.

It is inferior to even the Jiugong Mountain Divine Realm controlled by Chen Jiugong.

Compared to the rivers in the divine realm of Mount Luofu, it can't even be considered a true river; at best, it's just a narrow, long channel.

As for the Three Immortal Islands.

This is because the Three Immortal Islands Divine Realm has nearly a hundred wide rivers that converge again like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, making the confluence of the Three Immortal Islands Divine Realm like the ocean.

That's why the Three Immortal Islands are called islands. Compared to these hundred rivers, the Fire Crow Sect's two rivers are as insignificant as two streams.

This divine river is unlike any other, containing boundless spiritual laws, and completely defying the conventional west-to-east flow of water.

Sometimes it gallops endlessly, running wild like a runaway horse; sometimes it comes to an abrupt stop, disappearing without a trace as if it evaporated into thin air.

Then it will reappear in unexpected places, continuing to flow merrily forward, changing unpredictably and astonishingly.

Deep within the Earth of the Divine Realm, after a long period of sedimentation and evolution, a vast underground water system has been constructed.

These intricate underground waterways are like unparalleled, peerless artifacts, indestructible and exuding a chilling aura.

They had already quietly taken shape long before any living beings were born in the divine realm, witnessing the vicissitudes of this world.

Even today, despite the countless arduous explorations undertaken by cultivators in the Divine Realm, their understanding of this vast underground water vein is still only the tip of the iceberg, less than one percent of its total extent.

Even those super god domain lords who stand at the pinnacle of their realm and possess the strength of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal are helpless when faced with the unfathomable and intricate underground waters.

Countless powerful and strange beasts dwell in these dark and deep underground water veins.

They are either as huge as mountains or as fast as lightning and wind, each possessing earth-shattering power.

Even a powerful being at the level of a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal would find it difficult to escape unscathed if they rashly entered, and would ultimately be forced to retreat in a sorry state.

It can be said that the current cultivators in the Divine Realm have explored less than one-tenth of the entire underground water vein.

Fortunately, the Daoist aura emanating from these underground water veins is many times stronger than that on the surface.

The wisps of Daoist essence, like smoke and mist, permeated the entire space, making it a sacred cultivation ground that many cultivators dream of. As long as one can delve into it, one can absorb enough essence of Daoist essence, and one's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds, progressing by thousands of miles in a day.

Those strange beasts hidden deep underground are bathed in the rich Daoist aura nurtured by the underground water veins, and they almost never show themselves on the surface.

After all, compared to the underground world full of Taoist charm and spiritual energy, the surface environment is simply a disgusting garbage dump to them.

The Fire Raven Sect's divine domain actually originates from two winding underground water veins.

The source of these two water veins is very close—it lies within the sacred mountains on either side of the Fire Crow Sect.

Zhao Xuan analyzed Luo Xuan's memory information and discovered the reason why Luo Xuan found this divine realm: a vein of Crimson Flame Spirit Gold was hidden beneath the Fire Crow Sect's mountain range.

Unfortunately, the principles and laws within this mineral vein, which should have contained endless precious resources, have long been absorbed and absorbed by the Divine River.

It was the existence of the Crimson Flame Spirit Gold Mine that led to the emergence of two underground water veins.

The principles of Crimson Flame Spirit Gold were absorbed by the Divine River, and the remaining matter was nurtured into the river channel, which then formed the Divine Realm.

At that time, Luo Xuan was still expanding the territory of the Lingbao Dao Sect and needed a large amount of Crimson Flame Spirit Gold to upgrade his magic weapons.

They came here to dig for Crimson Flame Spirit Gold following the scattered traces, but unexpectedly the Crimson Flame Spirit Gold vein was gone, but instead they discovered a newly formed divine realm.

According to Zhao Xuan's analysis, when the Divine Realm world first opened, there were no living beings in this world, nor had it built the complete and mature system architecture it has today.
