Just as the situation was getting more and more tense...
Ye Changge, who was in the Hidden Edge Sect, was still acting on his own.
His refining had reached a crucial point.
At Reclining Firewood Peak.
Because of the Array Path Temple and the outsiders of the Gongsun Clan, Ye Changge did not refine the array formation foundation in the Hidden Kindness Cave Heaven.
In Ye Changge's closed-door cultivation restricted area, waves of magical aura drifted in all directions.
Outside the door, Cheng He and Gongsun Yi stood side by side.
Unlike the disciples and clansmen behind them who were at loggerheads with each other, their expressions were very calm.
Having studied array formations for more than a thousand years, they were deeply aware of the difficulty of this Dao.
After coming to the Hidden Edge Sect and seeing Ye Changge's craftsmanship and the way he laid out the array, the leaders of the two great factions were wholeheartedly convinced.
It even caused the two powerful cultivators to have a great suspicion towards the array path cultivation technique that they had cultivated for nearly a thousand years.
Very quickly, they changed their mindset and sincerely became Ye Changge's helpers.
The aura within the secret room became stronger and stronger.
Because the pressure emanating from the secret room was too strong, those disciples who were glaring angrily shifted their attention to the secret room in front.
The aura was still increasing, and the pressure was still increasing.
Many Array Path Temple disciples and members of the Gongsun family could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
Gongsun Yi and Cheng He were filled with anticipation.
If the refinement was successful this time, then they would be able to produce six World Barrier array cores in one go.
This was a crucial step in the implementation of all the plans.
"I feel that the results will be out very soon."
Unable to hold it in any longer, Cheng He was the first to speak.
"Yes, and I feel that it is very likely to succeed."
"I have the same feeling."
Cheng He looked at Gongsun Yi, his eyes filled with emotion.
The two forces, who had been fighting openly and covertly for so many years, finally reached a consensus and could finally cooperate.
"I have learned a lot here. When this matter is over, I will go into seclusion."
"Me too. When I come out of seclusion, the reputation of your Array Temple will be gone."
"Hmph, old man, by the time you come out of seclusion, I'll already be one step ahead of you and become a peak array grandmaster. I'll definitely suppress you."
Cheng He did not want to be outdone and mocked him back.
Gongsun Yi smiled smugly at his mockery.
"I think you've lost your mind. With that person inside, how dare you call yourself a peak array grandmaster? An array apprentice is more like it."
"Of course, I can't be stronger than the Hidden Edge Emperor. But no matter what, I'll definitely beat you."
The disciples behind no longer argued, and the two leaders began to mock each other instead.
Because they were nervous.
This time, they put in a lot of effort.
After seeing Ye Changge's array cultivation, Gongsun Yi and Cheng He put in a lot of effort in order to learn the cultivation method he used to set up the array.
Boom!
The aura in the secret chamber continued to rise.
It continued to rise.
"Um, I think the power in the core of this array formation is a little too strong, isn't it?"
"I don't think it's a little too strong. It's much stronger."
The two of them looked at each other.
"Could it be that there are some changes that we don't know about, causing the core of this array formation to be stronger than we expected?"
"That's for sure. After all, it was the Hidden Edge Emperor who presided over the refinement. We're just helpers."
As time passed, the aura in the secret chamber continued to rise!
It was rising faster and faster!
Cheng He and Gongsun Yi had already been suppressed by the powerful aura until they were down on the ground.
As for the disciples who had already fallen to the ground, they were now lying prone.
"I suddenly feel that we'll definitely win if we follow such a powerful existence."
Gongsun Yi suddenly spoke.
"I have the same feeling. The alliance of the sacred lands really doesn't stand a chance against such an existence."
"Old fellow, why don't we work together in depth? After all, we're not the true descendants of the Hidden Edge Emperor, so there's a limit to what we can learn."
Gongsun Yi didn't expect Cheng He to make such a suggestion.
After thinking for a while, he nodded.
No one knew that many years later, the array faction that had always been ranked in the top five in the tens of thousands of worlds in the universe would be born at this moment.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out.
The door to the secret chamber opened with a loud bang.
Under everyone's nervous gazes, Ye Changge slowly walked out, wearing a white robe.
"May I ask, have you, the Hidden Edge Emperor, succeeded in refining the core of the array?"
Cheng He asked cautiously.
Ye Changge smiled and nodded.
"Phew!"
Everyone from the Array Path Temple and the Gongsun family heaved a sigh of relief.
Their nervous hearts relaxed.
"After this experiment, we know all the steps."
"Next, we just need to duplicate the refinement. There are two crucial problems now."
Ye Changge said slowly, "Firstly, I need to find the other fragments of the Giant Pillar of the Heavenly Mortal World."
"Secondly, I need to collect the materials."
Cheng He and Gongsun Yi's hearts tightened when they heard this.
They knew that the Hidden Edge Emperor was about to make his move.
After leaving the rest to the two of them, Ye Changge arrived at Hidden Kindness Cave Heaven.
"Senior, we will be looking for the other fragments of your body next."
Although he was addressed as senior, the Giant Pillar did not dare to be arrogant.
After cultivating and recovering for so long in the cave heaven, it was already completely shocked.
With the existence of such a wondrous spirit land, it felt that Ye Changge's potential was unparalleled.
"Thank you, Emperor, for helping me rebuild my body!"
Hearing his thanks, Ye Changge nodded slightly.
Now, he already had a way to directly contact all of the Giant Pillar's fragments.
After all, Ye Changge was becoming stronger every moment, and every sign-in would increase his cultivation by a large margin.
He raised his hand, and streams of spirit energy poured into the two huge Giant Pillar fragments.
Buzz!
A strange connection appeared.
Ye Changge's spiritual energy was extremely deep, instantly providing the Giant Pillar with an energy that was hard to imagine.
The Giant Pillar emitted waves of energy that radiated to the entire world.
All the Giant Pillar fragments in the entire Heavenly Mortal World were responding to this wave of energy.
Following this connection, Ye Changge easily found the location of all the fragments.
"I order you, come here quickly!"
An imperial order was given.
The Giant Pillar fragments scattered all over the Heavenly Mortal World started to move.
It seemed like there was an invisible thread dragging these fragments quickly toward the Hidden Edge Sect.
West Ocean, Myriad Swords sect.
"What's going on? Why is there a strange movement on the main island of the Myriad Swords Island?"
"What's with this strong spiritual energy fluctuation? Is there an earthquake at the bottom of the ocean?"
"Quick, report to the sect! There's something strange happening at the bottom of the sea. There's a huge rock surging toward the surface of the sea."
"Quick, quick, open the sect protection array! What exactly is this huge rock? How can it be so huge and so fast?"
