Vol 5 Chapter 66: Star Heaven Veil Array

Crack...

Lin Jing casually waved his hand, and the immortal stone sealing the Limitless Immortal gradually shattered.

At this point, releasing the Limitless Immortal posed no issue.

After being sealed for so many years, the Limitless Immortal's spiritual power had long dried up, making her no threat. Even her dignified appearance was now covered in dust from just breaking free from the stone.

"Many thanks, senior brother..."

Finally seeing daylight again, the Limitless Immortal first showed delight before her expression turned cold.

"Sheng Kun, next time we meet will be your death anniversary."

"Sheng Kun has already left the Origin Realm," Lin Jing said. "If you wish to seek revenge, you'll likely need to pursue him beyond this realm. I'll wait here - within a year, you should be able to deliver what I need, correct?"

"Naturally." The Limitless Immortal gave a slight bow. "I have no attachments left in the Origin Realm. Since senior brother has such grand ambitions, I won't trouble myself by competing with you for the Origin Sources."

"After I depart this time, our next meeting will likely be on the Pangu Continent. May senior brother's immortal fortune prosper."

Whoosh!

The Limitless Immortal was a straightforward person. After assessing her condition, she immediately broke through her realm. With a ripple in space, she was teleported out of the Origin Realm, showing no intention to linger.

Watching her departure, Lin Jing wondered whether the Limitless Immortal would keep her promise.

Even if she deceived him, there wasn't much he could do except wait until he grew stronger to settle accounts later.

"The more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy her words. Fortunately, this Limitless Immortal isn't particularly beautiful."

"Still early. Might as well pay another visit to Brother Stone."

......

Star Dust Realm.

"You're back again?"

The Meteor Spirit Beast spoke with little welcome upon seeing Lin Jing return after several months away.

Though now allies, it hadn't forgotten how Lin Jing had once stormed into the Star Dust Realm.

"Brother Stone!" Lin Jing said with great enthusiasm. "I've come to borrow some arrays."

"I've received intelligence that the Heavenly Demon Sect plans to attack my home cultivation world. Among them is an extremely powerful expert - even pooling all my cultivation world's strength might not be enough."

"When my incarnation previously descended to the Star Dust Realm, Brother Stone locked onto me with this realm's killing array, correct?"

"That killing array felt more threatening than Brother Stone himself. If I'm not mistaken, it must be an array powered by immortal energy! Was it passed down by that mysterious senior?"

"Regardless, I wish to borrow this array and transfer it to my homeland to deal with the Heavenly Demon cultivators!"

"If my homeland is destroyed, all the spirit brethren who left the Origin Realm will become homeless..."

Though already decided to strengthen the Demon Emperor, the other powerful figures of the Tianyuan Realm still had value.

The only method Lin Jing could think of to qualitatively transform the strength of those weaker seekers of the Dao was through arrays.

A dozen seekers of the Dao from Tianyuan Realm charging at the Star Dust Realm like scattered sand would be defeated slowly.

But with a powerful array that could unite their strength into one, the threat they could pose to Demon Emperor Tianchou would be much greater.

And such a formidable array - Lin Jing had witnessed it in the Star Dust Realm. The killing array here felt even more powerful than the defensive array of Xianlin City!

One must know that Xianlin City's defensive array was maintained by the Cultivation Alliance, crafted by their many array masters whose skills undoubtedly surpassed Tianyuan's.

Yet it still paled in comparison to the Star Dust Realm's killing array. This could only mean one thing!

That this Star Dust Realm's grand array was likely taught to the Meteor Spirit Beast by that mysterious Fuzzy Immortal, making it extraordinarily special.

"You wish to learn the killing array?" the Meteor Spirit Beast asked. "Then tell me - can your cultivation world gather nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine lives with star realm bloodlines or star realm physiques?"

"This..." Lin Jing frowned. "The array's requirements are so stringent?"

"To deal with a Heavenly Demon cultivator at the seeking the way realm, these nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine star realm lives must each be at least at the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. Among them, those at the Void Mystical Stage and seeking the way realm cannot be lacking!"

"Only by meeting these conditions and activating it with Origin Sources can the array unleash its full power. Missing any element drastically reduces its might!"

"If your cultivation world can't meet these conditions, even if I teach you the celestial array, it won't solve anything." The stone being waved its hand dismissively.

Lin Jing fell into deep thought. The Tianyuan Realm definitely couldn't meet these requirements. Would they have to settle for replicating Xianlin City's defensive array instead?

"...Seeing Lin Jing deep in thought, the Meteor Spirit Beast said, "But considering our alliance, I can teach you another grand array!"

"What array?" Lin Jing looked up.

"The Star Heaven Veil Array!" declared the Meteor Spirit Beast. "Another array passed down by my master, also powered by Origin Sources, and requiring no additional cultivators to maintain!"

"Star Heaven Veil Array?" Lin Jing asked. "What does this array do?"

"This array has no offensive or defensive capabilities. Its sole purpose is to completely conceal a region within the star realm. My master taught me this for protection before I reached full strength."

"Simply set this array in your cultivation world, and unless a True Immortal descends, no cultivator from the lower realms could ever find your world again."

"Undetectable below True Immortal level?" Lin Jing was stunned. With such an immortal array, why worry about the Heavenly Demon Sect? The Tianyuan Realm could become a complete paradise isolated from interference.

"With this array, why should I worry?"

"Wait—" the Meteor Spirit Beast cautioned. "Don't celebrate too soon. This array consumes even more than the killing array. The larger the area concealed, the more Origin Sources it consumes. Do you know how much would be needed to hide an entire realm?"

"If it can be solved with Origin Sources, then it's no problem," Lin Jing said. "The Origin Sources produced by this realm should be enough to sustain both the array and an entire world's consumption, shouldn't they?"

The Meteor Spirit Beast scoffed. "If you monopolize all Origin Sources from the Origin Realm, it might suffice to maintain the Star Heaven Veil Array. But are you certain you want to do this?"

"Afterwards, would there still be any place for you and your cultivation world in the outside realms?"

Lin Jing smiled. "These are minor matters. Cutting off the Heavenly Demon Sect and Cultivation Alliance from Origin Sources might make them desperate in the short term. But once the Tianyuan Realm grows stronger using the Origin Realm's resources, everyone can sit together peacefully again."

"As long as you guarantee this Star Heaven Veil Array can truly make the Tianyuan Realm an isolated paradise free from outside interference, then no matter what I do in this Origin Realm, I'll feel no pressure."

Now aware of the Star Heaven Veil Array's existence, Lin Jing immediately changed strategy. Rather than confronting Demon Emperor Tianchou head-on, he chose avoidance - buying more time to strengthen the Tianyuan Realm's forces.

"No fighting if we can't win - how embarrassing would defeat be? Better to have Demon Emperor Tianchou get lost in the star realm again for a few thousand years."
