“Hahaha, I’ll take that auspicious remark from you.”

He Zhenghao laughed heartily and eagerly flew off towards his destination.

“We’re here, this is the place!”

Half a day later, He Zhenhao suddenly slowed down and dove into the sea.

Li Fan followed and descended to the depths of the sea floor.

His Divine Technique scanned the myriad of rugged mountain ranges situated on three major underwater faults below.

“Sure enough, it is extraordinary. It has a unique charm compared to the mountains and rivers on land.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but exclaim internally.

He Zhenghao stood still in the air above the seafloor mountains, closing his eyes and concentrating as if looking for something.

Above his head, the Mountain and River Hundred Veins Formation Map suddenly appeared.

In a flash, it seemed like an inexplicable fluctuation emerged from the continuous mountains below, subtly resonating with the Array Diagram.

He Zhenghao continuously adjusted the position to determine the optimal location.

Li Fan watched quietly from the side.

After a while, He Zhenghao’s eyes suddenly opened wide, a sharp gleam in them.

The Mountain and River Hundred Veins Array Diagram above his head expanded dramatically in response to his intention.

It instantly grew to a size of a hundred miles.

From his keen eyes, Li Fan noticed that the appearance of the mountains and rivers in the Array Diagram kept changing.

They gradually became more and more similar to the underwater mountain ranges beneath.

The resonating fluctuations grew stronger and stronger.

As the landscape in the diagram completely matched the actual scenery below, He Zhenghao shouted loudly.

The Array Diagram then emitted a dazzling white light before seemingly merging into the mountains below and disappearing.

Forming seals with his hands and continuously pointing, a subtle shift occurred in the mountain and river formation next to He Zhenghao.

It seems to have created a Great Array, shielding He Zhenghao in the center.

“The Mountains and Rivers of Hundred Veins… can all form Arrays…

Impressive.”

Once, Li Fan had glimpsed He Zhenghao’s detailed explanation of the Mountain and River Array Diagram. Thus, he was not unfamiliar with this method of transforming the geography into Arrays.

“Please guard me, Daoist Friend!” said He Zhenghao to Li Fan solemnly.

Following that, He calmed his mind and formally began his Golden Core Formation.

Despite the formidable remoteness of this place and its seldom amount of cultivators, Li Fan was still vigilant.

He flew to the spot above He Zhenghao, keeping a watchful eye on him while performing Golden Core Formation and also guarding him and monitoring his surroundings simultaneously.

Contrary to when Zhang Haobo underwent Golden Core Formation, where the entire heaven and earth were filled with the mighty spectacle of the Water Wind Technique.

At the very beginning, absolute silence was the overriding rhythm.

Without any anomalies happening, only He Zhenghao sat immobile in the air above the three submarine faults.

If it wasn’t for Li Fan, who faintly sensed that something was brewing beneath the vast and fractured seabed.

One might have mistakenly thought that He Zhenghao was just cultivating in seclusion.

Li Fan patiently waited.

The process of accumulating energy took much longer than he had imagined.

Only after more than ten days did the change finally occur.

In the quiet world of the seafloor, a sound similar to a heartbeat suddenly sounded.

“Thump!”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

The moment he heard that sound, he had an illusionary feeling.

The hundred-mile-long three submarine faults below seemed to suddenly come to life.

Just like a deep-sea giant sleeping for countless eons suddenly waking up, it gave him an inexplicable sense of danger.

“Thump!”

The heartbeat sounds again.

The ground started to tremble slightly.

The sensation in Li Fan’s heart grew even stronger.

Under the Heavenly-Earthly View, when he looked down at the range of mountains again, Li Fan could faintly see.

With the sound echoing like a heartbeat, deep in the ground, energies the color of earth flowed like blood rushing through veins.

In its surge, it brought infinite power to the land. “Leyline Technique…”

Li Fan seemed to have a sudden realization.

The Mountain and River Hundred Veins Formation Map, which had expanded to a hundred miles and fused with the seafloor, suddenly emitted a brilliant light from its edge.

Like a silver dividing line, it separated the Diagram from the original seafloor mountains.

As a heartbeat echoed, countless enormous earth-yellow Leyline Powers raced from the boundless continental shelf.

Just like a hundred rivers pouring into the sea, they were all absorbed by the Array Diagram.

“Just the Leyline Technique alone has such a grandeur?”

“Amazing, truly amazing!”

“Indeed, a man worth my attention!”

Li Fan was full of admiration, eagerly anticipating the remaining two techniques.

The power of leylines kept surging.

It was gradually stabilizing.

He Zhenghao began to further explore the Law of Mountain and River.

Li Fan noticed that the surrounding seawater, which should have been stationary, was now gently flowing.

From the highest point of the seabed, all the way down.

Every time it fell over a thousand kilometers through a fault, a unique underwater waterfall was formed, with each drop intensifying its momentum and speed.

After passing through the three major faults, the gentle undercurrent had transformed into a rushing underwater river.

Sweeping through the seabed mountains, it roared past.

It was like a heavy breathing sound compared to the heartbeat of the leyline.

The river rushed forth, passing through numerous mountains. Threads of aqua-blue energy were absorbed by the array diagram.

“The Law of Mountain and River…”

There was a faint sparkle in Li Fan’s eyes.

Leylines and mountains and rivers complement each other.

The sounds of heartbeats and breathing echoed in his ears.

Beneath, the three submarine faults felt more “alive”.

During this time, aqua-blue and earth-yellow lights kept emerging from the sea floor.

It seemed to attract some cultivators to investigate.

Most of them recognized that a cultivator was breaking through to the Gold Core.

Then Li Fan announced his identity as an Array Repair staff member of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Seeing that there was someone to protect the law and that it had to do with a member from within the structure of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals. 𝒻𝘳𝓮ℯ𝑤𝘦𝒷𝓷𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The cultivators decided to steer clear and avoid it.

Still, some relentless cultivators with ill intentions lurked in the shadows.

They were essentially some unknown scattered cultivators.

All of them had a power level below Golden Core.

Li Fan, without any hesitation, activated his Binding Worm Divine Technique and directly caught them and threw them far away.

Like this, three days passed.

The grand spectacle slowly began to recede.

The heartbeat sound became fainter.

The breathing sound became lighter.

The powers of leyline and mountain and river began to converge inward.

The feeling of “liveness” slowly dissipated.

It returned to the usual appearance of a sea abyss.

However, Li Fan could clearly feel that it was hidden, not disappeared.

An indescribable obscure energy concealed all the anomalies.

Making them difficult to detect.

If it weren’t for Li Fan’s detailed perspective of Heaven and Earth watching everything from beginning to end, he probably wouldn’t have noticed these inexplicable changes.

Looking at the abyss below, Li Fan felt like he was staring directly at an ancient ferocious beast ready to devour anyone at any time.

A sense of indescribable palpitations welled up in his heart from time to time.

“The Hidden Abyss Method…”

“How wonderful! ”

“The three methods are complete. It seems that Daoist He is not far from constructing the Golden Core!” Li Fan thought to himself.

The seabed returned to its quiet state.

Seven days later.

But He Zhenghao still hadn’t successfully achieved the Golden Core.

The fluctuations of the three techniques: leyline, mountain and river, and hidden abyss, had all ceased.

In theory, he should be able to begin forming the Golden Core.

But He Zhenghao made no moves.

It didn’t seem like he had failed.

It was more like he was waiting for something..
