Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Outside the All Heaven Stars Formation deep in Chaos, Zheng Fa sat cross-legged with his eyes closed inside the space station, surrounded by chaos roiling like boiling porridge.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and slowly nodded in response to Zhang’s worried yet expectant gaze.

Zhang knew he had stabilized his Golden Immortal cultivation, smiled and looked towards the surrounding stars.

The two held the highest power in the Immortal Court, yet most of their time was spent not at Jiushan Sect, but in the All Heaven Stars Formation, undoubtedly not just to look at stars.

Tang Lingwu proposed the idea of using a supercomputer to control the All Heaven Stars Formation. Although the entire modern world had been dragged into the West Continent, the plan had no issues, so Zheng Fa simply took action himself.

Zhang was the most skilled in modern computer theory in the Immortal Court, thus she often came here.

She glanced at the Comprehensive Records in her hand and suddenly said:

"Fairy Tang and the others have provided a preliminary design plan—to reforged Ziwei Star, turning it into the control hub of the Great Array."

Apart from a few people entering the West Continent, most scholars and cultivators of the Federation still remained in the modern world, so the research continued.

Ziwei Star, known as the master of all stars, had a special status in the All Heaven Stars Formation, naturally becoming the breakthrough point for scholars in the modern world.

There was only one problem...

"You and Xiao..."

"Hmm?"

"You and Ling Wu, do you contact frequently?"

Zhang lifted her gaze from the Comprehensive Records and stared at Zheng Fa, smirking: "Is that wrong?"

"Cough, of course, it’s fine."

Zhang’s mouth twitched slightly as she stared at Zheng Fa, suddenly saying: "Fairy Tang and I have quite a lot of common topics."

Common topics... What common topics could Zhang and Tang Lingwu possibly have?

Discuss life and ideals?

Though he was already at Golden Immortal cultivation, for some reason Zheng Fa couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

Zheng Fa said seriously: "The All Heaven Stars Formation is extremely important to my Jiushan Sect. I must carefully study this plan."

After speaking, he closed his eyes with a face devoted to Immortal Court affairs.

Zhang looked at this guilty Junior Brother, couldn’t help but smile, and playfully rolled her eyes—a display more because he didn’t want her to be upset rather than fearing her.

If he weren’t like this, she might have really gotten upset.

Thinking of this, Zhang’s gaze inevitably showed some helplessness, wanting to be angry but also reluctant, feeling somewhat more irritated.

...

Zheng Fa initially intended to change the topic, but later did indeed seriously review the plans summarized by the modern world.

Simply put, the modern world proposed transforming the entire Ziwei Star into a supercomputer, so that the control of the All Heaven Stars Formation could leverage the Ziwei supercomputer, rather than Zheng Fa personally.

Of course, there are some considerable issues involved:

Firstly, it must be confirmed that the Earth Emperor Corpse is indeed illiterate.

Secondly, more importantly, although only Ziwei Star needed complete reforge, other stars must be modified to connect with Ziwei Star.

In short, installing numerical control modules, which is a major project.

"The Immortal Court currently lacks resources to do that quickly." Zhang frowned and said.

Zheng Fa also understood the financial situation of the Immortal Court; the Nine Mountains Immortal Court currently had high income but even higher expenditure.

The most important focus was on education and people’s livelihood.

Furthermore, in the past few centuries, the Jiushan Realm faced three major events:

First, the forging of seventy-two stars.

Second, the conquest of the Northern Continent.

Third, the advancement of the Heavenly Emperor Body.

All these consumed a vast amount of resources.

It’s not that it was wasted, but the Immortal Court’s spiritual material vault was exhausted.

"If it’s reforge, the consumption is still less than during the forging of stars." Zhang calculated and said, "If we wait for some time, allowing the Immortal Court to recover some Essence Qi, then it could be done gradually."

Gradually?

Zheng Fa frowned.

He wasn’t in a hurry, but Thunder Sound Temple was very anxious.

Who knows when the Earth Emperor Corpse would emerge?

But he acknowledged Zhang’s words as reality. Previously, forging seventy-two stars succeeded by sending the Northern Continent families abundant benefits.

One could say, it was a tearful profit from the Northern Continent’s years of accumulation.

Regrettably, now there are few such generous and wealthy friends like the ones from Xuanwei Realm...

...

Supreme Dao.

Xuan Chengzi and the nine Supremes surrounded a treasure tower.

The tower was colored akin to profound yellow, standing on a mountaintop, radiating spiritual light.

This was the Nine-layer Linglong Tower, a supreme treasure left by the Daoist Venerable, peerless in defense within Xuanwei Realm, and also the treasury of Supreme Dao.

The nine exchanged glances and simultaneously injected immortal power into the Nine-layer Linglong Tower, chanting in unison:

"Incompetent disciples seek the Ancestor Master’s Two-Part Dust Spirit Talisman!"

Immortal power surged into the tower, five-colored mists flowed from the first layer upwards, the Nine-layer Linglong Tower grew taller and grander within the mist, piercing into the sky.

The tower’s nine gates emitted white light, and to the naked eye, behind the gates, there seemed to be nine real worlds, vast and immense.

These nine worlds encompassed the supreme treasures collected by Supreme Dao over countless years, as the heritage of Xuanwei Realm’s oldest sect.

Yet, the highest layer contained only one treasure.

The nine stared at the highest layer’s gate, where black and white light swirled, then a Spirit Talisman shot out from the gate, landing before the nine Supremes.

The runes on the talisman interconnected, forming a Yin Yang Fish symbol at the center.

The talisman’s aura was ancient beyond measure, as if it had existed eternally.

However, the Yin Yang Fish within it flowed dynamically, seemingly alive, extremely lively.

The entire Spirit Talisman appeared faintly, as if it existed in front of everyone, yet seemed not to belong to this world.

Overall, the impression given by the Spirit Talisman was extraordinarily paradoxical.

"Jiushan Sect’s greatest skill lies in their arrays, capable of resisting several Golden Immortals." Xuan Chengzi glanced at the other eight and spoke, "Yet the Two-Part Dust Spirit Talisman can simulate chaos, spanning space and nullifying any arrays, making it most effective against Jiushan Sect."

The other eight nodded in agreement.

Previously Jiushan Sect had no Golden Immortal cultivators, yet they could rival sects like Supreme Dao, thanks to those extraordinary and potent arrays.

Not to mention the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Even the Sun-shooting Divine Bow utilized an unusual Origin Magnetic Array.

Xuan Chengzi further said: "This time, in our sneak attack on Jiushan Sect, using the Two-Part Dust Spirit Talisman for concealment, we can take Jiushan Sect by surprise, without need for prolonged battle; our main target is Zheng Fa, others are just details."

Seeing no one object, Xuan Chengzi instructed:

"Eight of us among the nine will go, Junior Sister Qingxu, you will stay here to guard."

"Even if Jiushan Sect reacts, they possess only six Golden Immortals; we, eight, are sufficient to fight and win."
