Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 225 - 215 Preparation
Over more than two years, Alkaid had taught the first batch of array masters the improved techniques of the Fourth and Fifth Level Spirit Gathering Arrays.
People like Gao Shenghan and Huang Wei had also nearly mastered the improvements of the Sixth Level Spirit Gathering Array. With another year or so of practice, they would officially be able to modify the Sixth Level Spirit Gathering Array on their own.
Once they honed their skills, they could also teach other Sixth Level array masters the new method of establishing Spirit Gathering Arrays. Eventually, within the next ten years, they would complete the reform of all Spirit Gathering Arrays in the Nine Cauldrons Sect, propelling the sect’s spirit stone production from under one hundred million to three hundred million.

As the improvements to the Spirit Gathering Arrays progressed methodically, Alkaid’s annual share of profits increased.
With this year’s dividends successfully deposited...
Alkaid’s gaze refocused on the "Divine Path" branch.
"Finally, it’s enough," Alkaid said.
It certainly wasn’t in vain that he had been tirelessly taking orders for Purple Cloud Courtyard, continually splitting his divine sense to teach Gao Shenghan, Huang Wei, and Purple Rose how to set up Spirit Gathering Arrays. He was also responsible for analyzing the Spring Rain Vessel and designing new warships at the Third Patrol Heaven Research Institute.
In the cultivation world, "rest" became less important.
So much so that during this time, he was busy for more than 22 hours every day.
This sense of fulfillment...
He had never experienced it while working on Blue Star.
Fortunately, he was a cultivator; if it had been an ordinary person busied like this for more than two years, their body would not have been able to bear it and might have collapsed from sudden death.
"All this hard work over such a long time, it’s finally time to reap the rewards. Now... I can relax a bit."
With this thought in mind, the newly acquired "Businessman" experience, which hadn’t even had time to warm up, was directly invested into the "Divine Path" branch.
The progress that had soared to 86% began to grow rapidly...
The branches of the ancient tree stretched swiftly, seeming to embed into the unknown void, as if twisting the concept of time and space, collecting information from another dimensional level.
All this information was fed back into Alkaid’s "perception" and was rapidly assimilated. During this process...
What gradually appeared before Alkaid’s eyes was not any Dharma Phase or divine sense, but a whole new kind of power.
True Spirit.
Alkaid had an epiphany; the realm above Dharma Phase was Hollow Void True Spirit.
It was somewhat like an upgraded version of the Void Divine Realm.
But...
True Spirit wasn’t entirely a realm above Dharma Phase.
In his mind, countless pieces of information circulated but intermittently.
It seemed something crucial was missing.
His "Martial Path" branch also swayed constantly, as if to share the nutrients from "Divine Path" and grow.
In this transformation, Alkaid realized...
The essence of the power above Star Gods, Golden Cores, Dharma Phases.
"Above the Golden Core is Hollow Void, the realm that wields the power of the boundless Chaos Void. It is an existence powerful enough to overlook the stars. An entity that could be considered mighty in any world! But breaking through to this realm requires the unity of essence, energy, spirit. In the Star God path, one needs... Hmm? How many? One thousand and eighty acupoints!?"
Alkaid was inwardly shocked.
Due to the high integration of the new realm’s three systems, he actually "saw" the realm above Star Gods in the "Divine Path."
To open one thousand and eighty acupoints!
Each acupoint containing the power of a main star!
Then, condense the one thousand and eighty acupoints into a unique pulse energy state and use this as a vessel to collide with the power of Chaos Void, thereby achieving the control over Chaos Void.
Of course, just having the pulse Star God physique with one thousand and eighty acupoints or the boundless power of the Chaos Void derived from the Golden Core isn’t enough. The True Spirit’s twisting of time and space is also crucial.
By distorting the chaos of time and space, the True Spirit opens Cave Heaven from nothingness, and then allows both the pulse Star God physique and the boundless Chaos Void power to act as the dual polar forces of the Cave Heaven, perfectly coordinating and integrating these two powers.
This is the true Hollow Void Realm!
Without the True Spirit’s Cave Heaven born from nothingness, both the Star God’s pulsing body and the power of boundless Chaos Void derived from the Golden Core would become extremely unstable, just like the current Golden Core Realm in the world.
Possessing great destructive power but not even achieving the most basic longevity that a Hollow Void realm’s expert should have, which is an everlasting life.
Yes!
Everlasting life!
The basic lifespan of Hollow Void is ten thousand years!
How much longer is this compared to the three to five hundred years of a Golden Core practitioner?
A single Hollow Void could witness the rise and fall of the top ten Immortal Sects within the Cangwu Great World just by calmly residing there.
"True Spirit," Alkaid murmured to himself.
More precisely, the Hollow Void Realm.
He looked at the "Divine Path" branch that had stopped at 99% and then glanced at the "Martial Path" branch at 31%, understanding clearly.
To truly step into the realm of Hollow Void...
It seems that both "Martial Path" and "Qi Path" needed to be elevated beyond 60% in Star God and Golden Core status.
Until these two paths reached 60% of Star God and Golden Core, even if he put "experience" into the "Divine Path" branch, it would only make the "Martial Path" branch grow.
Perhaps...
He had a premonition that once the "Martial Path" branch reached 60% as well, if he were to enhance his "Divine Path" experience, even if his realm had not yet broken through to Dharma Phase Level, he would still grow a branch belonging to the "Qi Path".
"Not even giving me the option to choose, you’ve already given me the answer in advance."
Alkaid sighed with emotion.
However, even though the Dharma Phase had not advanced to the unity of the three elements in the Hollow Void Realm, the various secret techniques derived after the Dharma Phase progress reached 80% had opened Alkaid’s eyes.
Especially since many secret techniques were designed to allow Dharma Phases to save their lives in front of True Spirits—if used against other Dharma Phases...
They would hold an absolute advantage.
"What I need most now is to advance to Dharma Phase in a silent environment. As for the secret techniques to confront other Dharma Phases..."
Priority would have to be placed later on.
Otherwise, even if he could defeat the Dharma Phase cultivators of Myriad Beasts Sect, Immortal Alliance, Limitless Star Palace, if they did not adhere to martial virtue and used Golden Cores against him, he would not have a good way to deal with them.
"A method of secrecy...Got it! Heavenly Dao Formless! Huh?! It can even transform into a Primordial Spirit Formation? Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation?"
He glanced over it briefly.
This secret technique could not only effectively conceal his presence on the level of Divine Sense, but it could also turn into the Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation, spreading his power equally across all people in the formation, while also channeling the Divine Sense of other Primordial Spirits to him.
This kind of support was different from Divine Master resonance!
The characteristics of a Divine Master simply turned a ragtag bunch into an extension of one’s limbs.
But Heavenly Dao Woeful was akin to concentrating the power of others onto one person.
In this way, even if his display of Dharma Phase power was detected by the Dharma Phase Cultivators of Limitless Star Palace, Immortal Alliance, and Myriad Beasts Sect, he could attribute it to the effect of the Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation, lowering his own profile, thus buying himself time to ascend to Star God and reach the Golden Core.
"Really not bad, if used well, even Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators would be able to confront Dharma Phase cultivators. Let me see... this... a True Transmission secret technique from Heavenly Dao Sect? Probably like the Formless and Invisible method I practiced in my mundane days— not a tradition of Cangwu Great World or its surrounding Subordinate Worlds. I’ll use it for now."
Alkaid’s mood was light.
Furthermore, through the foresight of "True Spirit", he realized the extremes of the Cangwu Great World’s cultivation system. However, since he was following the Dharma Phase path, he currently could not find a method to address this extreme path.
When his "Qi Path" branch grew out and he marked enough progress, he believed this problem could be easily solved. By then, he might find a way to completely resolve the hidden danger of Li Hanqiu’s unstable Golden Core.
While thinking, Alkaid calmed his heart and digested, adapting to the changes of Heavenly Dao Formless and Heavenly Dao Woeful.
...
One month later.
Stream after stream of light broke through the sky, converging in the Big Dipper Domain.
Although the masters of these streams of light did not display Sword Qi soaring to the heavens like Sword Cultivators, their importance was by no means less than that of Great Sword Cultivators.
"Hahaha, Hall Master Alkaid, I’m here, is there anything I can help with?"
"Hall Master Alkaid, just let me know if you need anything, we don’t have to talk about rewards."
"My uncle Murong Hui asked if you want him to come down from the Heavenly Palace to help?"
Diverse voices rang out one after another.
The ones appearing in front of Alkaid were none other than the Primordial Spirit cultivators from various factions of Nine Cauldrons Sect.
And without exception, all were powerful Primordial Spirits capable of delving into the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer and undergoing the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Tempering.
Xu Kong, Cang Hai, Murong Tianguang, and others were among them.
In addition, Jiang Zhuoyue, the Hall Master of the Guardian Hall, had also personally arrived, leading several non-frontline Battle Courtyards to maintain order.
Meanwhile, in the surrounding Nine Heavens Domain, Lou Yuyu and Shen Qinglian personally led their elite teams to patrol the seas, inflating the defensive forces to the maximum.
While responding to the greetings from these Primordial Spirit cultivators, Alkaid’s mind was also secretly conversing with two people in the Void Divine Realm.
These two were none other than the Sect Master of Nine Cauldrons Sect, Li Qingshan, and Sea-Calming Divine Needle Li Hanqiu.

"Are you confident?"
Li Hanqiu looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Almost certainly."
Alkaid said.
"Then break through! For the rest, I will handle it. Even if Limitless Star Palace, Myriad Beasts Sect, and Immortal Alliance want to do something, I will support you. Right now, they hold the advantageous position and aren’t afraid of the barefooted. I don’t believe they truly have the courage to go for broke with me!"
Li Hanqiu waved his hand forcefully.
"I have a method that, if used, should prevent others from noticing."
As Alkaid spoke, he shared the Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation with Li Hanqiu: "I summoned all these Primordial Spirit cultivators here to cooperate with me in executing this technique. Moreover... if the Primordial Spirit cultivators can master this technique, when united, they could probably confront Dharma Phase cultivators. At the very least, tearing through the informational void of Patrol Heaven Warships shouldn’t be a problem."
After a brief perception, disbelief flooded Li Hanqiu’s eyes: "Is there really such a Formation!? Are... are you the one who developed this!?"
As he spoke, he realized his question might be somewhat presumptuous.
Alkaid certainly had his secrets.
But Li Hanqiu, Li Qingshan, and the others had long decided not to pry, as long as he stood with Nine Cauldrons Sect, offering him their absolute trust and support.
So, he promptly shifted his tone: "Excellent! With this technique as a cover, your ascension is almost guaranteed!"
After his words, he turned to Li Qingshan: "Arrange for the External Propaganda Hall to announce that our Nine Cauldrons Sect is running a test of a Primordial Spirit Formation. By blending truth with falsehoods, we can make the deception last."
"I understand. I’ll arrange it right away."
Li Qingshan nodded in agreement.
"Focus on your breakthrough without worries; we’ve got everything else."
