The Primordial Talisman Sect's power has grown immensely, boasting a thousand Divinity Transformation cultivators and one hundred thousand Nascent Souls. This rapid expansion, fueled by ancient elixirs and the incorporation of cultivators from conquered territories, has solidified the sect's dominance. Despite initial concerns about the loyalty of these new members, they have proven steadfast, largely due to the mysterious Sect Leader's influence. Returning to Red Moon Island, Luo Wu discovers a large-scale remodeling project underway, indicating further significant developments within the sect.

"My master’s orders? What on earth is this for?"

Luo Wu inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"It’s because the Sect Leader perceives the Black Dragon Sea Region as increasingly perilous,"

"The sheer volume of Demon Beasts emerging is simply too great, exceeding any prior control."

"If this situation persists, the Demon Beasts within the sea will be sufficient to inundate every single island."

"However, the Black Dragon Sea Region is of such immense expanse, no smaller than an entire continent."

"The numerous islands are scattered far and wide, completely diluting the Sect’s formidable strength."

"Should a beast tide descend, we would likely be defeated piecemeal, with islands being obliterated successively."

"It is precisely for this reason that the Sect Leader has resolved to establish a Grand Array encompassing the entirety of the Black Dragon Sea Region."

"Its designation is the Ten Thousand Stars Converging Origin Array."

The Black-robed Steward elucidated.

"Ten Thousand Stars Converging Origin Array? He actually intends to erect this Array? That’s truly a monumental endeavor."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword could not help but voice its astonishment, finding the plan almost unbelievable.

It was evidently quite familiar with the Ten Thousand Stars Converging Origin Array.

"Senior, is this Array truly that potent?"

Luo Wu inquired, his interest growing.

"Undoubtedly so, for this is a growth-type Array,"

"Once successfully established, the Array possesses the capability to expand without any discernible limit."

"At that juncture, every city will be tantamount to a star."

"The greater the number of stars that converge, the more terrifying the Array’s manifested power becomes."

"During the Ancient Era, the Taixu Sect once erected this very Array, blanketing the entirety of the Eastern Continent."

"The Array’s rank ascended to the formidable Tier Eight level."

"By virtue of this Array, who can truly ascertain the number of Demon assaults it repelled."

"It appears the Primordial Talisman Sect aims to resurrect this ancient formation."

The Celestial Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword remarked with a sense of awe.

It had genuinely failed to anticipate the sheer scope of the Primordial Talisman Sect’s ambition, planning to recreate the Ten Thousand Stars Converging Origin Array.

This was no trivial undertaking.

Should they aspire to achieve success, an immense quantity of materials, a vast accumulation of Spirit Stones, and an equally substantial duration of time would be imperative.

Without disbursing the wealth equivalent to an entire Super Sect, establishing this Array would simply prove unfeasible.

Naturally, should they achieve success, the resultant boons would be beyond all imagination.

"To what extent does this Array command such formidable power?"

Luo Wu continued his probing questions.

"This Array possesses the ability to draw upon the Power of the Stars from the profound depths of the void."

"Once the Array coalesces, it can command ten thousand streams of starlight."

"And this starlight can be condensed into a Starlight Barrier."

"It can also be employed offensively against adversaries, capable of piercing through any defense."

"More significantly, the operational range encompassed by the Array is exceptionally vast, and it can expand indefinitely."

"It can effortlessly ensnare every island within the Black Dragon Sea Region."

"Should any enemy dare to assail one of the islands, it would be tantamount to challenging all the islands simultaneously."

"Because the energy of the assault will be disseminated across every single island."

"Unless the enemy possesses the might to obliterate all the stars instantaneously, they will find it exceedingly difficult to breach this Array."

The Celestial Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword provided its explanation.

In times of antiquity, it was precisely due to the existence of this Array that the Eastern Continent was able to endure and remain unvanquished.

Regardless of the legions of Demons that laid siege, they were incapable of destabilizing the Eastern Continent.

At that time, an unending cascade of starlight descended, enveloping the entire Eastern Continent, forming an impenetrable bulwark as robust as ancient coinage.

Countless Demons attempted to penetrate the Starlight Barrier, yet each endeavor culminated in failure.

They even left behind an innumerable host of Demon corpses as testament to their futility.

"If such is the case, then why ultimately did the Eastern Continent fall?"

"Logically speaking, it should have been impossible to overcome it, correct?"

Luo Wu was deeply perplexed.

He was of the opinion that with such a formidable Array safeguarding the Eastern Continent, there should have been no threat of annihilation.

Yet, the numerous Sects of the Eastern Continent met their ruin, vanishing entirely into the annals of history.

This also suggested that this Array did not appear to be quite as invincible as initially presented, implying it possessed inherent flaws.

"No matter how potent an Array may be, it cannot be truly invincible; it invariably harbors vulnerabilities."

"The most significant deficiency of this Array originates from within."

"During the Ancient Era, for reasons unknown, the Demons employed obscure methods."

"They ultimately succeeded in inciting certain Great Powers to commit betrayal, thereby dismantling the Array’s crucial nodes from the interior."

"The result was that the entire Array collapsed with a deafening roar, shattering into countless fragments."

"From that point forward, this Array has never been re-established."

The Celestial Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword let out a sigh.

It had not anticipated that such a formidable Array could be brought down by internal discord.

Frankly, it remained unaware of how the opposing side achieved this feat.

To think they could sway the allegiance of so many Great Powers.

Were those Great Powers oblivious to the fact that Demons represented the common foe of all sentient life?

Even if they chose to submit to the Demons, a favorable outcome was unlikely.

Yet, collaborators still emerged; it was truly impossible to guard against such treachery.

Even now, the Sword could not ascertain precisely what transpired during that era, nor the reason for the proliferation of traitors.

"Destroyed by internal chaos?"

Luo Wu became quiet.

He possessed no knowledge of the events of the Ancient Era, but its downfall due to internal strife seemed profoundly ironic.

It was no wonder the Celestial Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword perceived internal instability within a Sect as exceedingly perilous.

This was likely a hard-won experience, a lesson etched in blood.

"However, regardless of past events, provided there are no traitors, this Ten Thousand Stars Converging Origin Array remains an exceptionally potent formation."

"More importantly, its capacity for expansion is considerable."

"It appears your master harbors grand ambitions, intending for this Array to encompass the entirety of the Void Realm's sea region."

"This is an accomplishment that eluded everyone in the Ancient Era."

The Celestial Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword recognized Jiang Fan's ambition.

Nevertheless, the current state of the Void Realm did indeed present the feasibility of realizing such a plan.

"During the Ancient Era, was the Taixu Sect not the supreme power? Could it be that even they failed to achieve this?"
