Chapter 554: Chapter 297: Myriad-headed Dharma Aspect, Concealment Array, and the Watched Lu Sheng!
Fifth-level Eternal Ash Emperor’s Authority!
Bright light flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
"Unexpectedly, the return of the doppelganger from the Beast Realm enabled me to comprehend the fifth strike of the Eternal Ash Emperor’s Authority!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, and behind him, the gigantic dragon shadow with countless heads swayed wildly, accompanied by waves of extremely terrifying energy rippling out.
These energies intertwined, seeming to transform into a kind of Domain of Mental Realm, spreading out bit by bit.
"This move... let’s call it the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect!"
Lu Sheng spoke gently and carefully sensed the effect of the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect.
"Before, the abilities I had in the Beast Realm were all inherited by the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect. In other words... with the activation of the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect, I can also use the Power of Rebirth."
"In addition to that, there’s also the application of various elemental powers I had in the Beast Realm..."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, communicated with the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect behind him, and quietly felt.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng realized that with him as the center, various elemental energies in the surrounding space seemed incredibly close to him.
As if with just a thought, he could mobilize the Elemental Power of this world.
Even if there were any changes in the Elemental Power within this world, he could perceive it.
"Elemental Power, huh? This way... is somewhat similar to the Array creation technique of Cultivators!"
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and spoke lightly.
"The Array creation technique involves communicating the various elemental powers in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and drawing special array diagrams. With the array diagrams as the medium, arrays can be created."
"This is also because Cultivators have Spirit Roots. Only with the existence of Spirit Roots can they perceive the different attributes of Spiritual Qi in the world."
"This is a unique aspect of Cultivators."
"However, different attributes of Spirit Roots communicate different attributes of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, like water attribute Spirit Roots, which can never create fire attribute arrays!"
"But... I have mastered the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect, so I am close to all different attributes of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which means... I can set and use arrays of any attribute!"
As Lu Sheng spoke, the brightness in his eyes turned increasingly dazzling.
Such a method is practically perverse!
It’s akin to a Martial Artist like Lu Sheng mastering all attribute Spirit Roots, possessing not only the Array creation technique that only Cultivators could do but also the terrifying vitality of Martial Artists.
"With this in mind... I can also create a seventh-tier defensive array at the Martial Immortal Villa!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly.
The defensive means of the Martial Immortal Villa had always been a concern for Lu Sheng, even though there were branches of the Heaven-Reaching Vine and the growing Star-devouring Octopus.
However, let’s not forget, these two special lives both require time to grow.
Until now, the Heaven-Reaching Vine and Star-devouring Octopus have not progressed to the seventh-tier level, especially the Star-devouring Octopus, which is still only at the early sixth-tier stage.
To advance to the seventh tier, without a large amount of resources, it would take at least hundreds of years.
As for the branch of the Heaven-Reaching Vine, although the main body of the Heaven-Reaching Vine in the Life Factions has already walked far on the eighth-tier road, currently, there is still a considerable distance from countering the seventh-tier crisis.
Lu Sheng might not be able to wait that long; according to Lu Sheng’s plan, within a hundred years, he would break through to the eighth tier, and then he would resign from the position of instructor at the Martial Immortal Villa and head to the front lines.
Therefore... the defense means of the Martial Immortal Villa are still crucial.
"Although arrays are somewhat weaker than special lives, as their activation is based on the activator and the consumed resources, in the current circumstance, they are the most suitable for the Martial Immortal Villa!"
"The Star-devouring Octopus and Heaven-Reaching Vine need time to grow, but arrays do not. As long as I set them, they can be used!"
Lu Sheng said this, then communicated with the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect behind him to prepare to mobilize the different attributes of Spiritual Qi in the world and set a defensive array exclusively for the Martial Immortal Villa!
Immediately, Lu Sheng felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the entire world of the Martial Immortal Villa, but just when Lu Sheng sensed these, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
"Huh? What’s the situation? Why is there a place outside the Martial Immortal Villa where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is... kind of complex?"
With the power of the Ten Thousand Heads Dharma Aspect, Lu Sheng clearly perceived that not far from the Martial Immortal Villa, in a part of the Cosmic Void, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi there is different from the Spiritual Qi in other places.
Originally, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of all attributes should be balanced, but in that place, some attributes increased while others decreased.
And such a situation arises...
"There... is an array!!"
Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he instantly detected the situation there.
"An array appears in the Cosmic Void near the Martial Immortal Villa? What is going on? Normally, arrays at Star River University are set up through various research institutes using different energy nodes. Even if there is an array, the presence of energy nodes can be quickly detected."
"But this array fluctuation... is extremely similar to the Array of a Cultivator."
"Within Star River University, a Cultivator’s array appears, even right near my Martial Immortal Villa..."
Lu Sheng spoke as a faint chill started to emerge in his eyes.
"It’s practically courting death!"
Lu Sheng spoke calmly, and in the next moment, his figure had already disappeared within the Celestial Brilliance Star.
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the void not far from the Martial Immortal Villa.
From the outside, this particular void showed no difference.
But inside, two figures sat idly, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the Martial Immortal Villa.
"What was the situation with that seventh-tier cosmic life form just now?"
"Is it Lu Sheng’s cultivation technique, or did Lu Sheng capture a seventh-tier cosmic life form?"
The two figures exchanged glances, each slightly puzzled.
"Forget about that for now, let’s report this matter first. After all, the sect has requested us to report everything."
One person spoke calmly.
The other smiled slightly: "Although this task is somewhat boring, the reward is still high. Especially now, those Cosmic Alien Races, particularly the Blood Bone Race and Void Insect Race, all want intelligence on Lu Sheng."
"I wonder how much we can sell this intelligence for, and how much we can split between us!"
Saying this, the two exchanged a glance and both revealed a smile.
Just as their smiles appeared, a faint voice suddenly exploded directly in their ears.
"So... my intelligence is very valuable?"
The faint voice caused their bodies to instantly stiffen, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces.
"This voice... Lu Sheng!!"
One of them reacted suddenly, looking towards the direction of the voice, only to find Lu Sheng standing in front of them without knowing when he arrived.
"How is this possible! How could you see through our hidden array!!"
Their hearts were in turmoil at that moment.
They knew that their hidden array could even deceive eighth-tier cosmic life forms. Because of this, they belonged to those specifically tasked with intelligence gathering.
With their superb hidden array, they were repeatedly successful in intelligence gathering. Recently, they were ordered to come to the Star River Star System to gather intelligence on Lu Sheng.
At first, everything went smoothly. Even though they were very close to the Martial Immortal Villa, neither Lu Sheng nor Liu Yao noticed their presence.
But now...
For some reason, not only had Lu Sheng discovered their presence, but he appeared in front of them without them knowing.
"You!"
The two looked at Lu Sheng in front of them, panic emerging in their eyes.
"So, are you from the Daoran Sect or the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Sect!"
Lu Sheng looked at the two before him and spoke calmly.
"You want to know our identity? Dream on!"
The astonishment in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by a fierce look.
In the next moment, an extremely sharp aura suddenly emerged from their bodies, causing even Lu Sheng’s expression to change slightly.
"Not good!"
Lu Sheng quickly acted, his Five Elements World Suppression erupted, trying to suppress the sharp aura within them. However...
Even though Lu Sheng reacted quickly, the power within them still erupted.
Under that powerful force, their bodies instantly turned to dust, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Lu Sheng watched this scene, his expression turning slightly somber.
"Even willing to commit suicide rather than reveal their identity?"
"But... the only ones capable of setting up a cultivator array are the Daoran Sect or Ten Thousand Laws Dao Sect, and the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Sect people couldn’t possibly appear in the Star River Star System. So, it leaves only the Daoran Sect."
Lu Sheng’s expression was somber, looking at the souls of the two, which had already scattered, finally letting out a cold snort, and with a wave of his hand, broke through their hidden array, and his figure returned to the Celestial Brilliance Star.
"People from the Daoran Sect are monitoring me in the Star River Star System. From their conversation, it seems they want to sell my intelligence to the Cosmic Alien Races."
"This is clearly... betraying the Human Federation!"
Lu Sheng’s voice was slightly cold. After pondering for a while, he still communicated with the White Emperor’s Order, preparing to inform Emperor Bai of this matter.
After all, the actions of the Daoran Sect require Emperor Bai to step in.
