Stepping inside the tower, Zhao Sheng saw the White Jade floor covered with countless complex array patterns. In the center stood seventy-two crystal-clear Array Pillars arranged in three layers, but the massive jade White Jade that used to be there was gone.
In its place, a series of hexagram-shaped transparent Crystal Stones were embedded in the center of the Great Array. The stones were as clean as mirrors, reflecting layers upon layers of mysterious shimmering light.
The entire Great Array had yet to operate; both the Array Pillars and the Crystal Stones were dim and seemingly long-unused. Yet, faint spatial ripples continued to emanate from above the array.
Clearly, the Star Gate Array before him and the Cross-border Transmission Array of the Divine Ruins Meteor Sea were different versions of the same cross-border transmission array.
The array before him was undoubtedly more advanced, simplifying the dual arrays into a single Great Array.
Zhao Sheng released his Divine Thought, carefully scanned the array more than a dozen times, and memorized each array pattern and node.
Upon comparison, he found that most of this array's patterns were not very different from those of the array at the Divine Ruins, but the details revealed great differences between the two.
Curiosity piqued, Zhao Sheng couldn't resist such a good opportunity for observation. He decisively flew into the sky, gazing down at the Great Array, studying it once more.
Remember, he was a Great Grandmaster of Array Dao in his past life!
With such focus, Zhao Sheng immediately lost track of time.
One day,
two days,
three days,
a hundred days flew by in an instant!
Outside the tower, Hai Longzi paced anxiously in front of the tower gate, frequently looking up at the tall tower, his face filled with confusion and tension.
He felt extremely perplexed, thinking, "It's been so many days. Why hasn't there been any movement inside the tower? Could something have gone wrong with that person?"
After a long while, Hai Longzi finally ran out of patience and couldn't help but open the tower gate, slipping inside.
As soon as Fang Yi entered the tower, he immediately saw a figure with their back facing the Great Array, sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air, causing his heart to tense up.
He hurriedly wanted to retreat, but then he heard, "Taoist friend, please stay, this old man has a request for you."
Hai Longzi felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and immediately bowed in salute, saying, "What orders does the senior have? This junior is all ears!"
"Taoist friend, you surely have some spare Seven Star Ruyi on hand. Why not spare a few for me? I promise you won't be at a loss." Zhao Sheng slowly descended, turning around with a smile as he looked at Hai Longzi.
"Senior—"
"Just three, no less!" Zhao Sheng immediately interrupted the other's words, speaking domineeringly.
Seeing this, Hai Longzi dared not haggle with the formidable figure opposite him and had no choice but to reluctantly take out three Star Gate Ruyi from his Storage Bag and obediently hand them over.
Zhao Sheng took a look at them and immediately expressed a hint of surprise.
It turns out that instead of seven Star Treasure Pearls on each Ruyi, there were as many as twelve.
This also meant that the Star Gate Array before him connected to twelve Constant Sand Worlds.
Zhao Sheng said nothing more and directly took out a Storage Bag, tossing it into Hai Longzi's arms.
Hai Longzi opened the Storage Bag full of resentment, but upon seeing inside, he was instantly overjoyed, immediately putting his resentment aside.
For inside the Storage Bag were no less than three hundred strands of Mystic Crystal Origin Qi Crystal Stones.
"Thank you, True Monarch, for the reward! This junior accepts it with unworthiness."
Zhao Sheng nodded at his words, said nothing further, and with a wave of his long sleeve, a torrent of Spirit Stones poured out, followed by countless shattering, continuously releasing Spiritual Energy Storms.
In the blink of an eye, millions upon millions of Spirit Stones were turned to dust, and the tower's interior quickly became saturated with immeasurable pure nature's spiritual energy.
Zhao Sheng paid no mind, persistently tossing out millions of Mid and Lower Grade Spirit Stones, repeatedly crushing them to release the hidden nature's spiritual energy within.
As the spiritual energy concentration surged, the spirit mist thickened, transforming into a vast spirit cloud that filled the tower.
Now, countless nodes of array patterns inside the tower lit up as if powered up, frantically devouring the surrounding nature's spiritual energy. The array patterns on the ground flickered intensely, unveiling layer upon layer of complex array map.
Soon after, the seventy-two Array Pillars shone brightly, and the Crystal Stones on the ground began to emit dazzling silver radiance.
The walls of the entire tower became covered with tightly packed array patterns, layer upon layer lighting up, quickly climbing to the tower's tip. Ultimately, it burst out with an exceedingly dazzling white light, so brilliant that even squinting couldn't alleviate its glare.
In the center of the Great Array, spatial fluctuations rose swiftly until ripples emerged in the air.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng finally ceased his actions, by which time more than thirty million Low-grade Spirit Stones had been crushed into powder.
He casually threw out the Seven Star Ruyi, which landed with impeccable precision atop one of the Array Pillars, immediately embedding itself firmly.
Zhao Sheng released his Divine Thought, condensing a series of Seal Mantras and injecting them into the Ruyi.
In an instant, in the upper space of the Great Array, a foggy Vortex of Chaos materialized out of thin air, expanding rapidly to three zhang before stabilizing.
"Fate willing, we'll meet again, Taoist Hai,"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Sheng soared into the air, transforming into a Flowing Light, and entered the Space-time Vortex.
Hai Longzi was taken aback, barely having time to open his mouth, unable to voice a response, helplessly watching as the True Monarch's figure vanished from sight.
With a "Boom" sound explosion,
the entire Star Gate tower shook violently, and a white beam of light shot from the tower's pinnacle, its end unknown.
The dark and deep seabed was instantly illuminated as bright as day by the light beam.
