My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Yao Shaosi is humble, polite, gentle, and kind. He is always courteous to others, leaving no room for criticism.

However, after spending more time with him, Zhao Xuan could keenly perceive the pride that was deeply hidden in his bones.

This pride is not mere arrogance, but a deep-seated confidence and self-respect. Interestingly, Zhao Xuan himself is the same; he possesses a strong sense of pride, but never easily displays it.

Perhaps it is because of this similarity that the two get along so well, and there is a tacit understanding between them that needs no words.

On Tiangui Island, the Creation Elixir is divided into twelve levels, ranging from the shortest ten years to the longest trillion years.

However, for various reasons, only the Creation Elixir aged less than 100 million years is offered for sale.

The Creation Divine Liquid of the fourth rank has already transcended the category of ordinary treasures. It is no longer just a precious item used to nourish magical artifacts, but has become a divine treasure with the power to bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh and bones.

Even the legendary Three Lights Divine Water is slightly inferior in terms of efficacy.

For Zhao Xuan, he didn't really care about the quality of the Creation Elixir.

After all, his purpose in entering the divine realm was very clear: to seek the material of creation.

And this Creation Divine Liquid happens to contain a large amount of Creation substances.

Although the higher the grade of the Creation Divine Liquid, the purer and more active the creation substances it contains, after being processed by Zhao Xuan's refining method, ten thousand drops of low-grade Creation Divine Liquid can exert a much stronger effect than one drop of high-grade Creation Divine Liquid.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan chose the Ten Thousand Year Creation Elixir and purchased twelve million drops.

According to Zhao Gongming's plan, he wanted Zhao Xuan to purchase ten drops of the Creation Divine Liquid, which had been precipitated over hundreds of millions of years. Only then would he allow Yao Shaosi to travel with him.

From a mystical perspective, even if ten thousand drops of ten-year-old Divine Elixir of Creation were added together, they would still be far less than the energy and value contained in just one drop of Divine Elixir of Creation of One Hundred Thousand Years.

Similarly, even ten thousand drops of the Creation Elixir, aged for ten thousand years, cannot compare to a single drop of the Creation Elixir, nurtured for a hundred million years.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Xuan did not choose the higher-grade spiritual liquids.

Fortunately, considering Yao Shaosi's feelings, Tiangui Island offered Zhao Xuan a very favorable price for the Ten Thousand Year Creation Divine Liquid.

Generally speaking, the price of one drop of the Hundred Million Year Creation Divine Liquid is enough to buy up to a million drops of the Ten Thousand Year Creation Divine Liquid. The spiritual items that Zhao Gongming bestowed upon Zhao Xuan could be exchanged for a full ten drops of the Hundred Million Year Creation Divine Liquid.

Zhao Xuan used all of it to purchase the Ten Thousand Year Creation Divine Liquid. In return, Tiangui Island gave him an extra one-fifth of the original amount of Ten Thousand Year Creation Divine Liquid.

In other words, what was originally ten drops of the Creation Divine Liquid that was a billion-year-old liquid was exchanged for twelve million drops of the Creation Divine Liquid that was a ten-thousand-year-old liquid.

If it weren't for the fact that directly purchasing a ten-year supply of Creation Elixir would be too conspicuous, Zhao Xuan would have even considered buying this ten-year supply directly.

When Yao Shaosi saw that Zhao Xuan had given up on buying the Creation Elixir which was hundreds of millions of years old and insisted on choosing the Creation Elixir which was tens of thousands of years old, he was also filled with doubt and confusion.

However, filled with arrogance, he firmly believed that Zhao Xuan belonged to the same kind of people as himself and must have his own schemes and strategies. Therefore, he not only did not stop him, but actively helped Zhao Xuan navigate various affairs.

After the two successfully left Tiangui Island, Zhao Xuan keenly noticed Yao Shaosi's doubts.

He smiled slightly, seemingly having anticipated everything. Afterwards, they arrived at a secluded, deserted place.

Zhao Xuan formed hand seals and chanted incantations. In an instant, countless fire crows engulfed in raging flames appeared out of thin air, quickly forming a magnificent array in the sky—the Ten Thousand Crows Array.

Thousands of fire crows cried out in unison, their voices deafening, as if they were tearing the sky apart.

Immediately afterwards, streams of flames imbued with the aura of creation erupted from the fire crow, gradually converging together to form a gigantic, dazzling ball of fire, as radiant as the sun.

Zhao Xuan took out the Ten Thousand Year Creation Divine Liquid he had purchased earlier and gently placed it into the blazing fireball.

An astonishing scene unfolded: in just a few breaths, the previously calm Creation Divine Liquid began to slowly fuse under the influence of the fireball's powerful aura of creation.

As time passed, several hours quietly slipped by. The Creation Elixir had already decreased by more than half.

However, the aura emitted by the remaining half of the Creation Divine Liquid was more than twice as strong as the original.

Witnessing this scene, Yao Shaosi couldn't help but marvel, his face filled with disbelief.

Faced with Yao Shaosi's surprise, Zhao Xuan smiled and explained that this was when his divine essence was returning to its original state. Because his own power was insufficient to support it, he was fortunate to be able to complete the transformation with the help of thousands of fire crows using their natal fire.

This led to the idea of ​​supplementing the changes in the Ten Thousand Crows Formation.

Later, after a century of discussions with the Ten Heavenly Kings and a century of sermons by Zhao Gongming, it was finally perfected and integrated into the Ten Thousand Crows Formation.

Zhao Xuan named it the "Heaven-Mending Rebirth Formation," one of the nine transformations of the Ten Thousand Crows Formation.

Although this change does not have much killing power, its ability to replenish the creation of nature is extremely rare and powerful.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shaosi couldn't help but laugh and say that Zhao Xuan was too modest. While the divine fire could certainly achieve great things when it was contained, once it was unleashed, its power was not to be underestimated. It could create all things, but it could also destroy all things.

Although he had never personally experienced this power, he had some understanding of the intensity of the Ten Thousand Crows Fire from his senior brother Chen Jiugong's description.

After hearing these words, Zhao Xuan burst into laughter again.

He knew very well that Yao Shaosi had clearly seen his mastery of formations and was now filled with a strong fighting spirit, wanting to compete with him.

Reflecting on Luo Xuan's past cultivation experiences, and his own experiences after taking Luo Xuan's place.

There are indeed many similarities between the two of them.

Back then, Luo Xuan used the Ten Thousand Crows Formation to attach his three thousand divine essences to three thousand fire crows, using them as the core of the Ten Thousand Crows Formation to guide the entire formation to produce countless changes.

In contrast, Yao Shaosi, unlike Zhao Gongming, did not possess extraordinary talent and could visualize a total of thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Even so, through tireless efforts, he visualized a Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and successfully created a boundless sea within it, giving birth to countless aquatic creatures, including three thousand incomparably powerful dragon spirits that emerged alongside his divine essence.

Although the divine essence has now been assimilated, the three thousand dragon spirits are still connected to it in spirit, and this connection is no less than that of the divine essence manifestations that have been differentiated.

Even compared to Zhao Xuan's control over the fire crows, it was in no way inferior.

If it were still the same Luo Xuan, he would probably be no match for him.

However, since Zhao Xuan replaced Luo Xuan and had the same cultivation level, Yao Shaosi was no match for him.

In fact, half of what Zhao Xuan told Yao Shaosi was true, while the other half was pure fabrication.

Admittedly, he did have some thoughts when he was replenishing his own foundation, but these thoughts did not arise when he was refining his spiritual corpse, but when he was refining his divine essence.

Furthermore, given Zhao Xuan's profound mastery of formations, he had no need to rely on the guidance and inspiration of the Ten Heavenly Lords and Zhao Gongming.

The formations in the Divine Realm differ somewhat from those in the human immortal realm and the primordial era.

In the latter two formation systems, it is often necessary to draw upon the energy between heaven and earth as the driving force, and to strengthen and consolidate it by leveraging the power of heaven and earth.

However, the formations in the Divine Realm are different. They simply endow their own power with endless variations and utilize it to the limit.

Therefore, since the formations in the Divine Realm are not bound by the rules of heaven and earth, the limits they can reach are naturally higher.

This uniqueness leads to an interesting phenomenon: the more formations one masters, the more diverse variations one can incorporate into the formations one sets up.

At the same time, the deeper one's understanding and comprehension of formations, the faster one can change the form of formations.

Zhao Xuan's personality makes him unwilling to hand over control of variables to others. If he cannot firmly grasp these variables in his own hands, he will feel insecure.

That's why he can grasp every subtle change in the formation, instead of blindly pursuing formations that seem powerful but cannot be fully controlled.

On the other hand, the formation controlled by Yao Shaosi is Zhao Gongming's Ten Directions Overturning Sea Formation.

Undeniably, this formation is indeed incredibly powerful and imposing, but the problem is that Yao Shaosi has not yet fully grasped all its variations and mysteries, nor has he been able to truly transform it into a formation unique to himself.

As a result, this formation has some flaws and shortcomings that even he himself was unaware of. From this perspective alone, Yao Shaosi is clearly slightly inferior to Zhao Xuan.

As the saying goes, "Ordinary people fear the cause, while Bodhisattvas fear the effect." For someone like Zhao Xuan, who has already reached a certain level, his understanding of the law of cause and effect is extremely profound.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's potential, Zhao Gongming didn't even ask for a single condition before generously rewarding him.

This is not because Zhao Gongming was willing to be taken advantage of, but because once Zhao Xuan accepted these benefits, a series of cause-and-effect relationships would be involved.

It should be noted that in the world of gods, the law of cause and effect is one of the nine supreme laws.

With this cause and effect as a guide, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhao Xuan to break free from the connection with Zhao Xuan.
