As Jiang Chen stomped his foot, the ground began to tremble violently. Immediately, mysterious patterns emerged from the ground, neutralizing the force of his stomp and even rebounding it back at him.
Sensing a surge of immense power beneath his feet, Jiang Chen did not hesitate to leap into mid-air. Suspended mid-air, he looked down below.
The rocky ground had significantly transformed. Luminous divine light rose from the ground, weaving complex mystical patterns.
At merely one glance, Jiang Chen felt a dizzying sensation and hastily averted his gaze.
However, the quick glimpse confirmed that the mysterious patterns were array patterns of a supreme great formation.
"The mysteriousness of this array is not on par with the Dutian God-killing Array or the Star Array; however, the power it gives off surpasses these two arrays. This suggests the individual who set up this array is of superior strength, surpassing my imagination."
"This was the reason I was unable to observe the array."
The Dutian God-killing Array and Star Array were the two strongest arrays in the Prehistoric World, and while there were arrays on par with them, none surpassed them.
Regardless of the strength of the Five Elements secret realm’s array, it could not surpass these two arrays. Hence, the power came not from the array but from the person setting up the array.
The only powerful figure Jiang Chen could associate with the Five Elements secret realm was Honjan Daizu.
"This array was undoubtedly established by Honjan Daizu; it must be the Innate Five Elements Great Formation used to convert Chaos into the five elements, which is the foundation of the Five Elements secret realm."
"No wonder I could not break these rocks. It was protected by the array left by Honjan Daizu. Even a Quasi-Saint wouldn’t be able to break these rocks."
With these thoughts, Jiang Chen understood the peculiarities of these rocks. He decided not to focus on this anymore and, summoning the Dao Mirror, imprinted all the array patterns on the ground for future study.
The Innate Five Elements Great Formation, set up by Honjan Daizu, was extremely exquisite. Besides its ability to produce Innate Spiritual Treasures, its uniqueness was sufficient to confirm it as one of the supreme arrays.
If Jiang Chen were to completely understand it, he might be able to comprehend a method to hasten the Innate Spiritual Treasure’s operation or use the array to produce Innate Spiritual Treasure in the small worlds.
In short, documenting this array offered only benefits and no drawbacks.
Although Jiang Chen’s strength was insufficient to observe Honjan Daizu’s Innate Great Formation, the Dao Mirror was an Innate Treasure and did not concern.
The Dao Mirror floated into the air, casting down boundless divine light enveloping the entire land, imprinting the array pattern bit by bit, enabling Jiang Chen to analyze its mysteries.
After an unknown amount of time, the divine light suddenly began to shrink, retracting into the Dao Mirror. Jiang Chen then reached out, grabbed the Dao Mirror, and immersed his consciousness within it.
Within the Dao Mirror’s abyss, surrounded by an infinite primordial chaos, the Innate Earth Element Great Formation was slowly rotating.
The surrounding primordial chaos, upon interacting with the formation, was converted to pure Innate Earth Element Qi that condensed within the formation, rotating incessantly.
"This array truly is profound. Instead of possessing the infinite variations and destructive power of the other Innate Five Elements formations, it perfected the conversion of the Five Elements, thereby transforming chaos into corresponding Five Elements Qi."
As an expert in array formation, Jiang Chen recognized a few things about the array after examining it for a while.
The array discarded the various capabilities of traditional Five Elements arrays and focused solely on the principle of Five Element conversion and generation. Although it lost its lethality, it had gained the ability to transmute everything into Five Element Qi.
It was with this array that Honjan Daizu transformed the Chaos, merged it with the residual essence of the Demon God of the Five Elements, and produced the Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Without the array, the Five Elements secret realm could still produce Innate Spiritual Treasures, but it would consume the residual essence of the Demon God of the Five Elements. Over time, the residual essence would be exhausted, leading to the collapse of the Five Elements secret realm.
However, with the array converting the Chaos, even though producing Innate Spiritual Treasures consumed the essence of the Demon God of the Five Elements, the Chaos transformed by the array could compensate for the consumption and even surplus it.
Thus, a positive cycle was formed, allowing the Five Elements secret realm to continuously cultivate Innate Spiritual Treasures without energy depletion, and it could even grow stronger over time.
After understanding this principle, Jiang Chen admired Honjan Daizu’s means even more. With the array, people could produce an endless supply of Innate Spiritual Treasures, which people deemed invaluable.
Such means, how could one not admire it?
With the array, Jiang Chen could also create Innate Spiritual Treasures. Does it not just require chaos? The Dao Mirror contains plenty.
But, due to the absence of a Demon God’s corpse, even if Jiang Chen successfully replicated Honjan Daizu’s array, the speed of crafting Innate Spiritual Treasures would be much slower compared to that of the Five Elements secret realm.
However, from another perspective, Jiang Chen can incorporate the principle of Five Elements Transformation into his Mixed Element Formation, thereby enhancing the formation’s speed of Chaos transformation.
