Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 445 431 Formation Arrangement
```
The Cangbei Warship sailed towards the Cangwu Great World as if no one else existed.
Yet outside the Cangwu Great World, many a Golden Core and Dharma Phase cultivators had a bitter look on their faces.
"True Monarch Xie, what do we do now..."
Lu Xi asked cautiously.
"Those who can join the Nine Cauldrons Sect should do so, and those who are unwilling..."
Xie Wu paused, "Should go to the Northern Sea Star."
He glanced at the crowd and saw a hint of unwillingness in the eyes of a few. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, "Once you get to the Northern Sea Star and understand the locals and the significance of what Sect Leader Alkaid has achieved, you'll be grateful. More than that, you'll thank Sect Leader Alkaid for not wiping you and your forces out, and you'll deeply realize just how merciful Sect Leader Alkaid is."
Hearing this, the people couldn't help but exchange looks.
"Three months from now, I will leave the Cangwu Realm. Those who wish to go with me, come then."
Xie Wu said and waved his hand, not wanting to idle chat with these narrow-minded juniors, "That's that."

Inside the Cangwu Realm.
The Cangbei Warship, having passed through layers of Divine Thunder and strong winds, arrived directly at the former other stronghold of the Nine Cauldrons Sect – Nine Heavens City.
It was apparent that Nine Heavens City had experienced warfare.
But because the Hollow Void War Immortal Xie Wu had come to the Cangwu Realm over a decade ago, the warfare had long since settled down, and even some of the destroyed structures had been rebuilt.
So much so that the city looked surprisingly similar to how it had been when they left.
"Alright, I know you all have your own matters to attend to. Feel free to do as you please."
Alkaid spoke, "With the weakest among you having at least a Crimson Red Gold Core, the vast expanse of the Cangwu Great World is yours to explore."
Old members of the Nine Cauldrons Sect like Liang Qiu, Dong Liu, Lou Yuyu, Murong Hui, and Xu Quexing all saluted Alkaid and left eagerly.
As Alkaid said, with their current strength, they faced no danger in the Cangwu Great World.
Moreover...
The entire Cangwu Great World, including the surrounding starry sky, fell within the reach of Alkaid's Divine Sense perception. If anything were to happen, he would be able to detect it immediately.
"True Monarch, Sect Leader Li, Fenghua, you go and tend to your business as well. Get a sense of the state of the Nine Cauldrons Sect and plan for its future development,"
Alkaid addressed the few beside him.
Li Hanqiu and Li Qingshan both nodded, not bothering with formalities.
Tang Fenghua, however, said, "My family and friends have gone to the Northern Sea Star. I have no attachment here. I'll stay by Sect Leader's side and handle some trivial matters."
Seeing this, Alkaid nodded without insistence.
In fact, in his heart...
He didn't have much to feel nostalgic about both the Alkaid Realm and the Cangwu Realm.
After all, it was people, not places, that bound one's emotions.
Even the most familiar hometown loses its pull when all the familiar faces have gone, and people no longer feel the same attachment.
Especially since...
Nine Heavens City had been visibly damaged back then. The Purple Cloud Courtyard still stood but had been reconstructed anew in the past decades, preventing Alkaid from feeling much of that old sense of familiarity.
Things change, people change.
Nothing could better describe it.
For him, revisiting the Cangwu Realm was more like a summary and final account of the efforts he had made there in years past.
A proof that he had once lived and strived here.
"After all, the Cangwu Realm is too small and a bit too fragile."
Alkaid remarked softly.
"Yes, we used to think the Cangwu Realm was immense and boundless, full of countless mountains and miraculous sights... Now, if we so wish, we could easily cover every corner of the Cangwu Great World,"
responded Tang Fenghua.
"That's because we were once small and weak... For those at the Core Formation Realm, even the Unity Realm, traversing a vast world spanning tens of millions of miles like the Cangwu Great World was no easy task,"
Alkaid explained.
Tang Fenghua nodded, "It reminds me of my childhood home. Back then, I thought our village was so vast I couldn't explore it all in a single day. Every corner seemed like a treasure trove. But now, it seems that's because we were too small. Small enough that a tiny village could hold our entire world. But when we grow up and take another look... It turns out to be just an ordinary little village."
Alkaid smiled.
He felt the same way.
Unfortunately, neither the Alkaid Realm nor the Cangwu Realm gave him that feeling.
Because neither place was his true hometown.
"Let it be,"
Alkaid declared, "To ensure the Cangwu Great World isn't threatened or broken into easily, I've placed a formation to protect this world."
With that said, his figure flashed, and he appeared outside the Cangwu Great World.
Now, the Cangwu Great World truly seemed small to him.
So small that a single Void Blink could take him anywhere in the world.
```
When he returned, Xie Wu was still tidying up when he sensed Alkaid's emergence in the outer space. He immediately wanted to step forward and greet him.
However, Alkaid shook his head at him and then...
With an empty hand, he grasped.
The surrounding starry sky seemed to be captured by a vast and majestic force, contracting and collapsing towards the space they were in.
And in this process of contraction and collapse, the entire Cangwu Great World was unaffected. Only beings outside of the Cangwu Great World could witness it.
Therefore, what unfolded before them was hundreds of billions, even thousands of billions of miles of void that flowed like water, continuously streaming towards the Cangwu Great World. The entire scene was so vast and shocking that even Xie Wu, a Hollow Void War Immortal like him, was lost in awe.
To the likes of Ye Lin, Lu Xi, and Feng Ao, whether Golden Core or Dharma Phase, facing this indescribable "cosmic disaster," they were so horrified they couldn't utter a single word.
Unimaginable!
Hundreds of billions, thousands of billions of miles of void, like flowing water, pouring, contracting, collapsing toward the Cangwu Great World...
This...
This was nearly equivalent to concentrating an entire stellar system within a single world.
This divine power, this vastness, this mighty force, surpassed the comprehension of all those who witnessed this scene.
It was a power beyond what they dared to imagine in their lifetimes.
"This kind of power..."
It was unknown how much time passed before Ye Lin gave a moan that resembled losing her speech.
"Ants."
Lu Xi murmured softly, "In the face of this kind of power, I feel... I am an ant."
Their power limits could burst forth, on par with stars.
But a single star is only a few million miles in diameter at most.
In front of the scale of void with Alkaid's tens of billions, even hundreds of billions of miles, what does star-like radiance count for?
This is as if one person can lift a huge stone with a diameter of half a meter, while another...
Moves mountains and seas!
The shock and subversion of cognition instantly shattered the psychological defenses of all the Golden Core and Dharma Phase cultivators from forces like the Limitless Star Palace, the Immortal Alliance, and the Myriad Beasts Sect.
At this moment, they truly realized what it meant to be as insignificant as ants and what it meant to watch the sky from the bottom of a well.
"It's not just a feeling."
Xie Wu glanced in their direction, "In the presence of Alkaid Sect Leader's great existence, Golden Core War Immortals... are ants... thousands, even tens of thousands of Golden Core War Immortals swarming together couldn't harm Alkaid Sect Leader in the slightest."
This statement completely dashed the hopes of these War Immortals.
...
Alkaid paid no mind to the Golden Core War Immortals outside the Cangwu Realm.
After all, there was too great a disparity in levels between them.
At this moment, he was guiding the surrounding void, reinforcing and reshaping the periphery of the Cangwu Great World.
The formation he laid out was called the Thick Earth Suppressing Void Formation, and its level wasn't very high, just thirteen.
On one hand, a clever woman cannot cook without rice.
It was difficult for Alkaid to arrange any high-level formations in the environment surrounding the Cangwu Great World.
On the other hand, he didn't intend to expend too much effort and time on this formation.
At level thirteen, if a Hollow Void War Immortal was left to preside over the formation, even a visit by the Hollow Void itself would only lead to a dead end.
Even those in the Refining Void would be trapped within the formation, unable to extricate themselves.
And this is assuming that a Hollow Void War Immortal is presiding over the formation. If it were a true Hollow Void, trapping and killing someone in the Refining Void would not be difficult at all.
A year later.
If at this time a Golden Core War Immortal originally living in the Cangwu Realm were to observe the surrounding starry sky, they would find that the void structure around the Cangwu Great World had been completely transformed, even revealing a hint of the divine wonders unique to the Northern Sea Star.
The thirteen-level formation had taken shape.
"That's about it," Alkaid said, "At least the safety of the Cangwu Great World is guaranteed."
In this star domain, the Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void, though not all living on the Northern Sea Star, were about eighty to ninety percent related to it.
The remaining ten to twenty percent in the cosmic space were also well-known figures, easy to inquire about.
While these individuals could be inquired about, naturally they would also be aware of the Northern Sea Star, as well as some renowned figures in the surrounding space.
Alkaid surmised that after the Yin Moon Sect closed its doors, a place on the Dao Lord's candidacy list would definitely be reserved for him.
And such formidable individuals, though not as famous as a Dao Lord, could still make a name for themselves across hundreds of millions, even thousands of millions of light-years.
Once they understood the relationship between him and this world, those Refining Voids and Shattered Voids with the ability to break formations would presumably not be foolish enough to target the Cangwu Realm, which held little value.
As he completed the formation arrangement, Li Hanqiu and others who were waiting nearby stepped forward and bowed respectfully to him, "We thank Alkaid Sect Leader for setting up the grand formation, protecting the safety and well-being of the Cangwu Great World."
Alkaid nodded at them and immediately took out three jade seal-like objects, handing them over to Li Hanqiu, "These are three formation talismans I condensed. Each of these talismans has the power to control the grand formation. See to their distribution."
Li Hanqiu quickly received the formation talismans.
"Furthermore, the Thick Earth Suppressing Void Formation will alter the structure of the Cangwu Great World, causing it to shift towards the Northern Sea Star. Of course, this change will occur gradually over time, taking roughly a hundred years to completely transform. After the transformation, the density of spiritual energy in the Cangwu Great World will be several times higher than before. And as the spiritual energy increases, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which are normally rare, will naturally rise, and there will be no shortage of Golden Core Cultivators. For Golden Core War Immortals like you, in the current environment, each one of you will have a chance to breakthrough to the Hollow Void Realm."
Having said this, Alkaid paused for a moment, "This formation is also the last gift I shall give to the Cangwu Realm."
