Chapter 1687: Opening of the Array

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Yi Yun took the ring and sank his perception into it. Without needing Polar to introduce the ring to him, Yi Yun already knew it was left behind by Human Emperor.

The array formation which Ancestor God wanted set up took ten years for each stage, and ten years allowed for many things to happen.

“Perfected Yi, the Ancestor God should be in seclusion to make his final preparations. He’s thinned out at the moment which is why he deliberately took two of my disciples as a warning. This is the best time to take action if you’re ready to lead. What do you want us to do?”

Polar was decisive as well. Since he had planned to ally with Yi Yun, he no longer had any scruples.

“I need all the information on the array formation the Ancestor God is setting up. Also, I will be replacing one of the Godly Monarch of your Heavenly Courts to join in the setting up of the array formation... I have ten years to study the Ancestor God’s array formation, and perhaps I’ll be able to find an incisive point to tamper with it...”

The Ancestor God’s array formation covered the entire Chaos Heavens.

The reason why he amassed so many Godly Monarch level figures was that he needed to assure he had more than a hundred spirit vein cores in the Chaos Heavens.

It included the spirit veins of Heaven Fey City and the Heavenly Courts. All of them were within the envelopment of the Ancestor God’s array.

Yi Yun’s plan to infiltrate a tiny part of such a massive array hinged on his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao allowing him to avoid the Ancestor God’s perception while he figured out certain things.

“Replace a Godly Monarch? However, all the Godly Monarchs involved in setting up the array have tracing marks planted by the Ancestor God. The Ancestor God will discover the replacement.”

“I’m able to crack the tracing mark.”

The person who was first planted with a tracing mark was Yi Yun himself.

It took him quite a considerable amount of time to wipe it away, having needed to internalize the Heavenly Dao and reach the half-step Godly Monarch realm to do so.

“You can crack it?” Polar was overjoyed. He never expected Yi Yun’s nomological insight to reach a level capable of resisting the Ancestor God.

He had been studying the tracing mark of the Ancestor God for decades without any progress. Furthermore, the more he studied it, the more he realized how great the gap between him and the Ancestor God was.

“Cracking it is very troublesome. Even when I’m doing it, it takes a few months time, but once it’s cracked, the Ancestor God will immediately learn of it. Therefore, I won’t be able to crack the mark for the Chaos Heavens’ Godly Monarchs.”

“I understand.” Sky Punishment nodded. If a large number of Godly Monarchs had their implanted marks removed in succession, the Ancestor God would probably exit seclusion immediately.

“All I’ll be doing is transferring the mark of a Heavenly Courts disciple onto myself. After that, I would disguise myself as him both in identity and aura, completely replacing him in his participation in the array setup.”

Yi Yun had obtained a cardinal disguise treasure from the Ghost race and the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book. With both in effect, it was very easy for him to disguise himself as a Godly Monarch.

As long as he didn’t face the Ancestor God in person, he would not be discovered.

“Alright!”

Polar directly agreed. In fact, he was betting the fate of the Heavenly Courts on Yi Yun. If Yi Yun failed, the Heavenly Courts would definitely be implicated and the outcome obvious.

...

Time passed as the years went by. The Ancestor God chose twelve excellent spirit veins in the Chaos Heavens and seventy-two sub-first grade spirit vein sources for the array.

Each one of the twelve excellent spirit veins was famous in the Chaos Heavens. For example, there was the humanity’s Heavenly Courts spirit vein, the Fey’s Heaven Fey City spirit vein, and the Ghosts’ Sky River of the Netherworld, etc!

The top races of the Chaos Heavens, excluding the Celestials, each had one such spot. Possessing one was enough for them to reign supreme!

The top races occupied seven excellent spirit veins in the Chaos Heavens, two joint occupations, and one which was occupied by the ancient divine beasts. The final two spots were located in forbidden zones which Godly Monarchs could not enter; therefore, they could not be used.

However, after the Ancestor God appeared, nothing proved to be a problem. The twelve excellent spirit veins were all taken under his control. Hence, it could be said that the Ancestor God wielded control over the entire Chaos Heavens!

As for the remaining seventy-two sub-first grade spirit veins, although they were described as “sub,” they were highly coveted by various major sects. Occupying even one made them a top faction in the Chaos Heavens.

Of course, all the spirit veins were now under the Ancestor God’s command. He had set up a huge array formation that was akin to a giant spider web. It reached deep into every corner of the Chaos Heavens as it constantly drained its powers, as though it was about to suck the Chaos Heavens dry.

Over the years, the various major factions could clearly sense that weakening of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi contained within the spirit veins. To put it at a broader perspective, the entire Chaos Heavens’ Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was slowly thinning.

The Chaos Heavens was at present a supreme universe in the known-multiverse. To have that status in question due to having its rich Yuan Qi sucked by an array formation was testimony to how terrifying the Ancestor God and the array formation were.

The unease many people felt increased. They could even foresee that martial arts in the Chaos Heavens was embarking on a slow death. The Ancestor God appeared to bent on sucking the Chaos Heavens dry of everything.

The deadline of ten years gradually approached.

The people involved in setting up the Ancestor God’s array involved more than a hundred Godly Monarch level experts. Every one of them were illustrious among the Godly Monarchs in the Chaos Heavens.

At that moment, in a valley, more than ten Godly Monarchs were gathered. They were clearly from the various races of the Chaos Heavens. And leading them was the Heavenly Courts’ patriarch, Polar.

“Senior Polar, didn’t you say that there’s some problems with the array formation here? Why don’t I detect any problems?” a Soul Thearch asked.

They originally believed that they were gathered here to help in setting up the array formation. It was a situation that commonly happened. After all, the scale of the Ancestor God’s array formation was so huge that a single Godly Monarch was unable to complete it on their own most of the time.

As the Soul Thearch spoke, the entire valley’s atmosphere suddenly changed. An indescribable law enveloped the entire valley and formed a domain that isolated the valley from the outside world.

“Oh? Polar, what’s the meaning of this!?”

The hearts of the Godly Monarchs present jolted as they were immediately placed on high alert.

“Nothing. Everyone, do you still remember the suggestion I raised ten years ago?” Polar said unhurriedly.

Back then, Polar had suggested for all the Godly Monarchs to join forces to resist the Ancestor God.

“Polar, you’re mad. Although none of us wish for the Ancestor God to rule over the Chaos Heavens, all of us combined fighting the Ancestor God is like smashing eggs against a rock. Even if we aren’t afraid of death, we do not wish to die in vain.”

“Quickly dispel this domain and let us leave. We will pretend as if this never happened. We will keep mum about it and not snitch on you. If we take action, we’d be doomed the moment the Celestials notice it.”

The Godly Monarchs spoke one after another. They had a total of eleven people, so they were not afraid of Polar.

Polar said, “I won’t be able to dispel this domain even if I wish to because it’s not set up by me. If you think what I said doesn’t hold enough weight, what if someone else were to say it?”

As Polar spoke, a black-robed youth slowly walked out of the valley. There was no Yuan Qi fluctuation from his body, but he seemed to be center of the world. It was a reverent existence.

“You are...”

“Yi Yun!?”

Someone recognized Yi Yun. In fact, after the battle at Heaven Fey City, Yi Yun’s portrait had been spread throughout the Chaos Heavens.

Now, Yi Yun was undisguised and his looks were his own. Everyone naturally recognized him.
