Chapter 397: Feng Shui Array
Right now, Qin Changqing’s goal is to still keep the whole natural Feng Shui array running after taking away the Immortal Artifact Fragment.
Without the Immortal Artifact Fragment, this natural Feng Shui array will definitely weaken, and its offensive power won’t be as strong.
In fact, it might lose its ability to attack entirely.
However, Qin Changqing does not plan to use it for offense, but for defense.
He aims to transform it into a defensive formation.
In the future, the whole of Mount Taixuan will form a unity; even a Cultivator at the Integration Realm would need substantial time to break through this Great Array.
Thus, after spending more than half a year on this, Qin Changqing had almost set everything up.
In this period, nothing major occurred.
From time to time, Qin Changqing would also return to his mansion to unwind.
The Purple Snow Holy Girl had already noticed that her cultivation speed had increased.
And not just her, the Girl in Green, Green Autumn, discovered this too.
This discovery filled the intelligent Green Autumn with immeasurable joy.
Green Autumn and the Purple Snow Holy Girl have been good friends since childhood, although there was a significant difference in their abilities.
The Purple Snow Holy Girl reached Void Refinement long ago, while she was still Deifying.
“Saintess, I told you that before his reincarnation, my husband must have been a powerful Immortal. Could he possibly have been an Immortal King or something?”
Green Autumn sparked this conjecture with a twinkle in her eyes.
Her knowledge of immortals was limited, she wasn’t aware of how their realms were differentiated.
The term “Immortal King” was purely her conjecture.
Now, the Purple Snow Holy Girl was also more convinced that her husband was a formidable force.
However, every time the word “formidable” was mentioned, for some reason, it made her blush with her pretty face turning red.
Indeed, Qin Changqing was indeed too formidable in certain aspects.
This ordinarily aloof and indifferent Saintess knew this all too well.
“It should be ready now,”
Atop Mount Taixuan, after spending a few years, Qin Changqing was now prepared for everything.
Everything was in place.
It was time to deal with the Immortal Artifact Fragment.
That day,
He moved, and disappeared from the sky above Mount Taixuan.
When he reappeared, Qin Changqing had reached the depths of Mount Taixuan.
The Immortal Artifact Fragment was located there.
Instead of opening Mount Taixuan, Qin Changqing exploited the natural Feng Shui array, found a gap where Primordial Magnetism was spewing and entered inside.
The moment he entered, Qin Changqing sensed a terrifying pressure.
His Six Harmonies Mirror was already operating, forming a barrier to firmly protect him.
The Primordial Magnetism Storm could indeed interrupt the connection between Cultivators and their Magical Treasures, but Qin Changqing’s Six Harmonies Mirror was in his hand and even formed a defense light curtain, blocking the continuous onslaught of Primordial Magnetic energy around him.
Nevertheless, the pressure emanated by the Immortal Artifact Fragment was still extremely terrifying.
Its surroundings were even distorting space.
In order to obtain this Immortal Artifact Fragment, Qin Changqing needed to approach it and take it away.
Only after taking it away, would he be able to further research and control it.
This Immortal Artifact Fragment was of Primordial Magnetism type, and despite being just a fragment, its power was extraordinary.
Of course, a fragment could not exert its complete power, and its usefulness was limited.
Also, it might not be suitable for Qin Changqing’s usage.
But none of this mattered.
For Qin Changqing, the greatest value of this Immortal Artifact Fragment was its potential to give him exposure to something truly related to “Immortal.”
Qin Changqing could also analyze its structure, which could significantly improve his Artifact Refining proficiency.
His proficiency in Artifact Refining was steadily increasing. If he could thoroughly understand this Immortal Artifact Fragment, there might come a day when Qin Changqing could create an Immortal Artifact himself.
It could even be created before ascension.
This is significant.
Of course, the prerequisite is being able to find the materials.
Qin Changqing began to slowly make his way towards the Immortal Artifact Fragments.
During this process, Qin Changqing had to be very careful not to disturb the Fragments and cause unpredictable changes.
His True Origin was being consumed like running water.
The closer he got, the greater his consumption.
Since Qin Changqing had already gained control of the Feng Shui Array, no attacks were launched.
However, just the overwhelming Primordial Magnetism emanating from the Fragments alone made every step extraordinarily difficult for him.
Thankfully, his Six Harmonies Mirror was exceptional. Even a Top-grade Treasure coupled with several times the output of True Origin might not withstand it.
A month later, Qin Changqing finally arrived within 1000 meters of the Immortal Artifact Fragments.
At this point, his pressure increased greatly because the heavens and earth around the Fragments were integrated. In this area, even Qin Changqing couldn’t borrow the forces of heaven and earth.
He could only endure and move forward cautiously. Every step was laborious.
Having come this far, Qin Changqing naturally wouldn’t give up.
The greater the power of the Immortal Artifact Fragment, the higher its intactness. Or it could be considered the core part of the Immortal Artifact.
Otherwise, if it were just a simple part like a section of a sword point, it wouldn’t possess such a massive power.
Qin Changqing felt that this Fragment might be the energy core of the Immortal Artifact, the Primordial Magnetism energy concealed within it was astonishing.
Otherwise, where did the Yuan Magnetic Barrier enveloping the entire Mount Taixuan come from?
As for what it really is, that would be determined after he got hold of it.
For 1000 meters, Qin Changqing took a whole year to cover nine-tenths of it.
Too difficult.
Even for him, the depletion was so immense that he could barely bear it.
As a result, in Qin Changqing’s hands, the Fairy Stone and the Elixir never ceased to supply.
Here, he couldn’t absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of Spiritual Qi. He could only rely on Fairy Stone and Elixirs to constantly replenish what was consumed.
“Just 100 meters left!”
Only the last 100 meters remained.
These also happened to be the 100 meters that Qin Changqing needed to be extremely careful of.
The last leg of a journey is the most difficult.
The danger of the remaining 100 meters was even greater than the previous 900 meters.
One false move and the disturbance of the Immortal Artifact Fragments might pose a problem, even though Qin Changqing had already taken control of this natural Feng Shui Array.
He had control, but not over the core of this Feng Shui Array.
What he needed to do now was to strip the core status of the Floating Fragment.
In other words, he had to untie the Immortal Artifact Fragment from the natural Feng Shui Array.
After unbinding, acquiring it would be much easier, and there would be no need to worry about it affecting the entire Feng Shui Array.
So, instead of moving forward, Qin Changqing started to set up Formation Flags around the Immortal Artifact Fragment.
The whole process consumed a full year of Qin Changqing’s time.
“It should be alright now.”
The True Origin within Qin Changqing suddenly began to boil.
The next second, the power of the Six Harmonies Mirror surged up tremendously, a light curtain appeared rapidly, enveloping the Immortal Artifact Fragment in an instant.
When the Six Harmonies Mirror was activated, the Formation Flag also instantly lit up.
The light curtain emitted by the Six Harmonies Mirror was broken in just one second, but there was more than just one layer of the light curtain.
As a Dao Artifact, the Six Harmonies Mirror was exceptionally strong. Layer after layer of the light curtain kept breaking, but new ones kept appearing behind.
That is to say, the defense of the Six Harmonies Mirror was now layered.
Not just a single layer.
The advantage of this is that it can continuously weave a defensive light curtain, the disadvantage is that it’s not as solid as when it was a single layer.
The Six Harmonies Mirror could also generate just one layer to enhance its power.
