Chapter 723 - 340: Big Trouble for the Bolos Family
The Star Core was formed by the condensation of spiritual energy sources from the interior of a constant star, making it far richer in spiritual energy than Star Marrow.
Typically, each Golden Immortal Level task involving Jiuyou Demons would reward Lu Yi with a Star Core, and if the strength of the Golden Immortal Jiuyou Demons were greater, the number of Star Cores rewarded would also increase.
This time, Lu Yi had gone to the Ningyin Battlefield and the task rewards included a staggering amount of over a thousand Star Cores.
Although the quantity was incomparable to that of Star Marrow, the quality was significantly higher.
Beyond these cultivation resources, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Cultivation Skills, as well as rewards for raising the level of Immortal Skills, and increasing the level of Cultivation Techniques were also present.
What surprised Lu Yi the most was that among the rewards, there was even a Mid Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, a long sword named Star Wave Sky-piercing Sword.
As a Mid Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, its power naturally went without saying.
Lu Yi had previously used the Eternal Light Shield, also a Mid Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, and its power was extremely terrifying.
At that time, Lu Yi’s strength had not even reached the Profound Immortal Realm, and now if he were to use the Eternal Light Shield, its power would likely be much stronger than before.
And the Eternal Light Shield, being a Mid Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure that could be used both offensively and defensively, did not excel in offensive power. In contrast, the Star Wave Sky-piercing Sword was purely an offensive cultivation treasure, far surpassing the Eternal Light Shield in terms of attack capabilities.
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to test it.
Lu Yi sighed and tucked the Star Wave Sky-piercing Sword into his Interspatial Ring.
With his current strength, unless he encountered an opponent of the Immortal Monarch Level, there was no need to use a cultivation treasure of the Acquired Spirit Treasure level, even when he faced a nearly Immortal Monarch Level human-shaped Jiuyou Demon, Lu Yi hadn’t used any treasures, simply because there was no need.
And as for opponents of the Immortal Monarch Level, Lu Yi wasn’t foolish enough to provoke such formidable creatures without reason.
Why not just wait until he was securely promoted to the Golden Immortal Realm, and then completely overpower them?
Lu Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Just as Lu Yi was about to start cultivating, he suddenly remembered what Yu Hanguang had mentioned about revising the Star Realm Army’s Great Array.
He left the Cave Mansion and headed to Ling Luo Peak.
Yu Yuanwu was reluctantly building a bamboo house with the Immortal Bamboo gathered from the side.
Lu Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for him.
Seeing Lu Yi approaching, Yu Yuanwu looked up with a pitiful expression and said, “Brother-in-law, can you help me out here?”
Lu Yi cleared his throat and replied, “I have important tasks to handle, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
Yu Yuanwu felt utterly exhausted, as if no one loved him.
He sighed deeply and then asked with curiosity, “Brother-in-law, what’s your important task?”
Lu Yi chuckled and said, “When I was at the Ningyin Battlefield, I spoke with Brother Han Guang about possibly improving the Star Realm Army’s formation.”
Hearing this, Yu Yuanwu was startled, then quickly exclaimed, “Right! Brother-in-law, your knowledge in Array Tao is also astounding. With such terrifying comprehension, you might actually be able to deduce a new formation for the Star Realm Army! This is a big deal! If you actually succeed, the Star Realm Army would owe you a huge debt of gratitude.”
Lu Yi chuckled and said, “I need to try it first; after all, Brother Han Guang told me that the Star Realm Army’s formation is the culmination of many years of the Yu Family’s efforts. Improving it will likely not be an overnight task.”
Yu Yuanwu was rather optimistic. He waved his hand and laughed, “No worries, we have plenty of time. If it doesn’t work out in ten thousand years, then try for a hundred thousand years; if that’s not enough, then a million years.”
Lu Yi nodded and then approached the house that originally belonged to Yu Yuanwu and called out, “Brother Han Guang, could you come out for a moment?”
Yu Hanguang quickly opened the door, and without looking at Yu Yuanwu, who was gazing resentfully at him from the side, he smiled at Lu Yi and said, “Brother Lu Yi, what’s up?”
“It’s about the Star Realm Army’s formation,” Lu Yi smiled.
Yu Hanguang immediately slapped his forehead, “Look at me, I actually forgot about such an important matter. Come on in, let’s have a good chat.”
Yu Hanguang pulled Lu Yi back into the bamboo house.
Yu Yuanwu was left standing outside, disheveled in the wind.
Yu Hanguang, as one of the top young talents of the Yu Family and one of its future pillars, also had studied the Star Realm Army’s formation. Although he wasn’t highly skilled in cultivation, he still explained the entire formation to Lu Yi in detail.
After spending several days, Yu Hanguang sketched out the formation and fully elucidated it to Lu Yi.
The more Lu Yi observed, the more his brow furrowed, his expression serious.
Noticing Lu Yi’s solemn expression, Yu Hanguang inquired, “What’s wrong? Brother Lu Yi, is it difficult?”
Lu Yi nodded earnestly and replied, “Indeed, it’s very difficult. This military formation is too intricate. I can imagine how much effort the Yu Family predecessors put into this formation. Improving it will be too challenging.”
Yu Hanguang nodded and proudly smiled, “This is the culmination of billions of years of effort from my Yu Family. Our family has been able to stand at the top of the Tianluo Star Domain and hold a place in the entire universe because of this formation.”
Lu Yi nodded and remarked, “The heritage accumulated over billions of years is indeed extraordinary.”
“Brother Lu Yi, do you think it can be improved?”
“I’ll go back and study it, and give it a try,” Lu Yi replied without making any promises, recognizing the difficulty of the task.
Yu Hanguang seriously said, “Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Brother Lu Yi. Given your talent, there’s a chance you might succeed.”
Lu Yi smiled and then took his leave from Yu Hanguang.
