Divine Replication System

"Have all the disciples from your sects return to the Flying Ship," Lin Xuan instructed, gesturing with his hand.    

"Yes, Senior!" Wei Zhengzhen and the others responded, relaying the command.    

With the task of eradicating the Devil Cloud Sect complete, it was time to depart. They awaited Lin Xuan's signal, though they anticipated that leaving without incident might prove challenging.    

Before long, all the Void Martial Stage, Martial King Stage, and the majority of the Martial Monarch Stage warriors had returned to their respective Emperor Level Flying Ships. Only a handful of late-period Emperor Level and peak Emperor Level warriors remained, awaiting Lin Xuan's further instructions.    

Lin Xuan paid no mind to those who were left. He descended swiftly, with Tian perched animatedly on his shoulder, his tiny eyes whirling with curiosity.    

Lin Xuan then reached a colossal Stone Stand, towering a hundred meters high, situated behind the vast expanse of the Demon Aura Blood Pool. Wei Zhengzhen, Cang Shuiyue, and the others watched in silence, uncertain of Lin Xuan's intentions. They neither dared to inquire nor felt entitled to do so. They simply waited.    

Standing at the center of the Stone Stand, Lin Xuan surveyed the area with a contemplative gaze. His expertise in Spell Formation allowed him to recognize immediately that this was the core of the Demon Aura Blood Pool, where numerous materials were converted into spirit blood.    

After uncovering the Demon Aura Blood Pool by peeling back the earth for dozens of kilometers around, Lin Xuan had remained to safeguard the site, ensuring the grand formation wasn't compromised. Although confident in his ability to repair the formation if key points remained intact, he knew that doing so would be unnecessarily time-consuming and laborious.    

Thankfully, despite the Devil Cloud Sect's domain being reduced to rubble and desolation, the Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool's vicinity remained unscathed. This made Lin Xuan's task of refining the semi-processed Demon Aura blood into a finished product significantly easier.    

As the bodies of the Devil Cloud Sect's warriors, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, were cast into the pool, the hue of the water deepened even further.    

The refinement of the Demon Aura Blood would yield even better results.    

Without delay, Lin Xuan got straight to work.    

He began the refining process by channeling a dense stream of Pill Essence into the core of the spell formation below.    

In no time at all, the Pill Essence dispersed, spreading throughout the entire grand formation.    

Lin Xuan certainly wasn't foolish enough to think he could sustain the entire formation with his Pill Essence alone.    

Indeed, this mysterious grand formation, which enveloped the entire Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool, was of a higher caliber than the Devil Cloud Sect's protective grand formation.    

Lin Xuan alone couldn't maintain it, and not even two Half-level Emperor powerhouses could keep it running solely on their energy.    

Lin Xuan's Pill Essence served merely as a trigger for controlling the formation.    

The true power source for the formation's activation was a vast spirit stone vein hidden beneath the Devil Cloud Sect's domain.    

As the dominant force on the Dongyuan Continent, the sect's region could gather such rich spiritual energy not just from its natural landscape and Spirit Gathering Formation.    

The territory itself boasted a significant concentration of spiritual energy, thanks to the deeply buried spirit stone vein.    

This wasn't unique to the Devil Cloud Sect; nearly every major power on the Tianyuan Continent had access to spirit stone veins of varying grades, which sustained their operations.    

The more prestigious the force, the higher the grade of the surrounding spirit stone veins.    

As a leading power on the Dongyuan Continent, the Devil Cloud Sect's territory featured some of the largest and highest-grade spirit stone veins on the continent.    

Moreover, these veins were so deep that even the sect's previous protective grand formation had barely scratched them.    

Excavating them would cause irreparable damage to the region, requiring an immense amount of time and effort to fully exploit.    

Typically, sects would avoid mining spirit stone veins in their vicinity, opting instead for more secluded areas with sparse populations.    

The veins near the sect were primarily used to support the sect's various needs, including its protective grand formation, enchantments, cultivation practices, pill refining, and cultivation of spiritual herbs.    

However, the Devil Cloud Sect now lay in ruins.    

The spirit stone mines in this region no longer posed a concern. They were destined to be jointly excavated by the five great forces in the future. Lin Xuan, however, couldn't afford to wait. Mining spirit stones was a delicate task; one misstep could destroy a vast area and yield little reward. It was best left to the countless disciples of the five great forces.    

Before moving on, Lin Xuan intended to make one final use of the area by completing the refinement of the pool of spirit blood. As he infused the Pill Essence into it, it branched into myriad streams, causing the Formation Marks to emit a faint glow wherever they reached. The patterns of the formation spread rapidly in all directions, like water currents, soon enveloping the entire Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool in a network of luminescent lines.    

High above, the peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivators looked on with confusion, unable to discern Lin Xuan's actions. Those with some knowledge of Spell Formations, however, had their suspicions, their eyes flickering with anticipation.    

Lin Xuan had chosen not to enlist the help of Wei Zhengzhen and other Emperor Level Martial Cultivators because this was his first encounter with such an intricate formation. It was far too risky to involve those who were not well-versed in Spell Formations, as they could easily introduce errors.    

Besides, Lin Xuan didn't need anyone else to supply energy; he only needed to control the operation of the Spell Formation and set it in motion. Working alone would be more efficient and quicker.    

At that moment, the sound of howling winds filled the air. A grayish-white mist began to coalesce around the Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool, extending for dozens of kilometers. It appeared to shroud the blood-red liquid within the pool. Upon closer inspection, it became evident that this was not ordinary mist but spiritual energy so pure and dense that it had formed into a mist.    

"The gathering power of this grand formation is that strong?!" Lin Xuan exclaimed in astonishment. He had not anticipated such rapid results. To condense spiritual energy mist in such a brief time was an accomplishment not even the protective grand array of Jade Dragon Mountain could easily achieve. Indeed, there is true expertise in specialization.    

The Demon Essence Race's fearsome nature was laid bare for all to see.    

Yet, a significant part of this revelation was due to Lin Xuan's expertise in Spell Formation.    

Lin Xuan, with his profound knowledge of Spell Formations, not only understood how to activate the entire formation in record time but also knew precisely where to channel more energy, where less was needed, which areas required finesse, and which cumbersome parts could be omitted.    

Through such meticulous manipulation, he did more than just activate the grand array; he amplified its effects to an astonishing 120% of its potential.    

Such a feat would be well beyond the reach of the Formation Masters within the Devil Cloud Sect—achieving even half of this would be a challenge.    

Moreover, the exceptional quality of Lin Xuan's Pill Essence greatly enhanced his ability to guide the grand array to its fullest effect.
