World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Of course, all this is just Zhang Xiaoman’s speculation, after all, he has yet to see a real Immortal. All the Immortals perished in that end-law catastrophe.

After rummaging through the storage ring for a while, Zhang Xiaoman finally found some explanations about the Guiding Immortal Road.

During this end-law catastrophe, the Immortal Road Array originally prepared inside the Small Immortal Palace can no longer be used. If Zhang Xiaoman wanted to open the Immortal Road, he must re-arrange it.

Fortunately, the Sect Leader of the Small Immortal Palace foresaw this and detailed the steps and items needed for the Immortal Road preparation.

Looking at the list of materials in his hand, Zhang Xiaoman fell into silence.

These items are all unrivaled treasures, impossible to gather in a short time.

The main reason is that in this era, spiritual energy has just revived, and many heavenly materials and earthly treasures are still in a gestating state, hard to discover.

Anyway, this world is temporarily out of hope, Zhang Xiaoman can only turn his attention to the Second Universe.

Although the Dark Star Alliance is currently in a state of full-scale war, the dark web in the region is still usable. He believes he should be able to find similar materials for substitution.

At worst, he can use the star map to board a spaceship to the Aigus Star Domain, which is the oldest star domain, the origin of the star pattern. The Dark Star Alliance may be at war, but the Aigus Star Domain is still peaceful.

As for other conditions needed to open the Immortal Road, others may find them hard to achieve. For instance, the special application of spiritual power, which is essentially communicating with the corresponding dark spirit particles, is no problem for Zhang Xiaoman who has unlocked all permissions.

Moreover, with his top-tier talent, learning all skills particularly quickly, he is confident that within a day, he can master this complex magic technique.

No matter how formidable the Guiding Immortal Road Array is, it’s still just a Mortal World method, and with his Heavenly Immortal Level strength, it’s naturally impossible for him not to arrange it.

Finally, opening the Immortal Road still requires an Immortal Artifact as a medium. According to normal circumstances, the end-law catastrophe annihilated all Taoist Skills, especially the Immortal Spirit Power, as they are the most pure dark spiritual power, hence disappeared most thoroughly.

This includes all Immortals and Immortal Artifacts.

Luckily, Zhang Xiaoman holds the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, which is considered the greatest treasure of the Immortal Realm. Using it as a medium to open the Immortal Road shouldn’t be a problem.

After storing away the black ring, Zhang Xiaoman left the area contentedly.

This time he harvested exceptionally bountifully; the Small Immortal Palace, after all, was once the largest cultivation sect in the Mortal World, the Mortal world’s representative agency of the Immortal Palace, with amazing heritage.

Whether it’s various magics or heavenly materials and earthly treasures, their stored resources far surpass that of the Tianyuan Sect.

Moreover, the people of the Small Immortal Palace prepared ahead by preserving all cultivation techniques in paper form, resulting in Zhang Xiaoman acquiring a large batch of precious magic after this venture.

He glanced over, the number of foundational Taoist skills and sect secret transmissions together are about over two thousand, among which even dozens of Immortal Technique secret books exist.

Certainly, such a quantity of magic secret manuals must have some overlap with those recorded by the Tianyuan Sect, as some magics are universally documented within the Cultivation World, akin to the common third-rate martial arts circulated in the Mortal martial arts circles.

Meanwhile, the spirit stone reserves inside the storage ring are rather rich, a rarity that survived the end-law catastrophe.

Although most spirit stones have lost their function, a small fraction of superior quality ones remains, sufficient for beginner cultivators to use, significantly replenishing the Star Alliance’s resource reserves. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The Immortal Realm is currently inaccessible, yet Zhang Xiaoman is not disappointed; with so many resources acquired and the method to the Immortal Realm at hand, what more could he be dissatisfied with?

After bidding farewell to Pei Laoliu, he first returned to Water Blue Star.

The next step is to quickly enhance his strength; Pike on Water Blue Star has already prepared all the materials, just waiting for Zhang Xiaoman’s return to imprint the third star pattern for him.

The difficulty of imprinting the third star pattern far exceeds the previous two; this is evident from the time consumption alone.

The first star pattern was completed in one or two hours, the second star pattern took a month, and the third star pattern requires a year.

Over a whole year, Zhang Xiaoman could only sit cross-legged in the formation for imprinting, unable to go anywhere, hence he must be fully prepared before starting to prevent any sudden situations during his imprinting affecting the Star Alliance.

Thankfully this time, with his return comes a troop of undead comrades, whose formidable strength, especially among the undead three giants: Elcurus, Hillna, Acatus, even includes two former Black Dragons, all possessing lower control level strength.

In addition, the Star Alliance has Naphaya and Ziwei presiding, as long as no transcendent level individuals come personally, Water Blue Star won’t face any threats.

After arranging everything, Zhang Xiaoman then began the star pattern imprinting.

He did not proceed on Water Blue Star since the third star pattern imprinting poses considerable movement, requiring a safe and suitable location.

Ultimately, Zhang Xiaoman chose a nameless lifeless planet, Ziwei accompanied for bustling, though shortly after the imprinting started, feeling bored, she left again.

The third star pattern imprinting is extremely cumbersome, requiring a plethora of materials and formation preparations, also necessitating a suitable terrain and environment.

Thus, Zhang Xiaoman also previously modified this planet to some extent, transforming it into a spiritual energy rich feng shui treasure land with substantial spirit stone investment.

The imprinting commenced as Zhang Xiaoman continued drawing the third pattern on his arm, in the core position of the Eye of the Starry Sky emblem, resembling an eye capable of insight into all things.

Starting from the third star pattern, the imprinting is no longer simply a star pattern master’s job; Zhang Xiaoman must participate in certain coordination as well.

He learned a special spiritual power operating line from Pique, requiring him to maintain the run of spiritual power in his body during the imprinting by Pique.

Countless spiritual energy surged on the planet, powerful wave marks emitting outward from the array center, surrounding mountains tearing into floating islands, suspended in space.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman chose this uninhabited planet, on Water Blue Star, this would have likely caused a planetary catastrophe.

Pique’s expression concentrated, star pattern pen ceaselessly waved, complex patterns painted in the void, soon projected onto Zhang Xiaoman’s arm under the spiritual power array’s effect.

The entire drawing process lasted three months, during which Pique persistently drew with the star pattern pen. Though it is merely a simple eye pattern, every stroke he laid felt incredibly weighty.

Later, Pique became so emaciated, resembling an exhausted old man, worrying others if he might suddenly drop dead.

Fortunately, the task was finally completed; Pique let out a long breath, using reserved essence medicine liquid to restore vitality.

His task now completed, the coming months will feature Zhang Xiaoman’s solo performance.
