Siti was somewhat astonished.
She said in a daze, "Could it be that you've made some kind of breakthrough?"
At such a time, if Sha Chen's strength were to make another breakthrough, wouldn't that mean he had stepped into the Saint Realm? Sha Chen seemed to know exactly what she was thinking and just smiled, shaking his head.
"I haven't reached the Saint Realm yet. In fact, with my current situation, I suppose it's impossible for me to become a Saint. If I were to truly make a breakthrough, I'm afraid I'd need a different title."
Siti frowned and said, "So what exactly did you break through? Over the past few years, I've felt no change in your aura, and you haven't had access to enough cultivation resources. You've only been absorbing Divine Power from the heavens and earth, at best just maintaining your current level and preventing yourself from regressing."
Sha Chen said, "Actually, for the past few years, I've been pondering how to further enhance my physical body. Although I haven't achieved it yet, I've grasped a certain principle."
Siti exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "What principle is it, that you've spent years pondering?"
Sha Chen said, "My body contains numerous elemental forces and various laws. If I could cultivate all of them to their utmost limit, it would be equivalent to the fusion of the twelve Ancestral Witches."
"It is said that the Ancestral Witches were formed from the flesh and blood of God Pangu. If Pangu could differentiate into the Ancestral Witches, then is it possible for them to merge back into Pangu?"
At this thought, Siti drew a sharp breath.
She hadn't expected Sha Chen to consider such a possibility. If he could truly transform his physical body to the level of God Pangu, wouldn't he possess the power to create heaven and earth?
It was a wildly audacious idea, yet somehow it seemed plausible.
God Pangu's physical body didn't entirely evolve into the Ancestral Witches. For instance, his eyes became the sun and the moon, and his skeleton and flesh transformed into mountains, rivers, and lakes. However, all the vital blood and muscles, the very essence of his body, did evolve into the twelve Ancestral Witches.
If one could reverse-engineer the process from the Ancestral Witches, finding a way to evolve one's own flesh into that of God Pangu, perhaps one could indeed make their physical form as incredibly formidable as God Pangu himself.
But Siti still harbored doubts. "So, in these past few years, have you truly figured it out? Even Saints wouldn't dare claim to fully comprehend God Pangu's physical body, yet you've managed to grasp it in just a few years?"
Sha Chen laughed heartily. "I only understood the principle in recent years, but the idea itself has been with me for hundreds of years."
"My physical body became exceedingly strong hundreds of years ago, and various laws have been converging within me. I've entertained this idea for centuries, but I could never find the right method."
His eyes burned with fervor. "Finally, now that my Space Force has reached Great Perfection, and my Law of Power is also nearing Great Perfection, my physical body seems to sense the change in my strength and is progressively growing stronger."
"I feel that my method is correct. However, figuring out how to implement this idea—to achieve a physical body capable of creating heaven and earth just like God Pangu—is extremely difficult."
Siti nodded in agreement. Many people have ideas, but those who can turn them into reality are incredibly few.
She nodded and said, "So, you must have conceived of a way in these past years."
Truthfully, she still felt a mixture of doubt and shock; the idea itself was wildly imaginative, astounding, and utterly inconceivable. Could it be that Sha Chen had actually figured out such a method?
Sha Chen said, "Actually, I didn't figure out this method myself. The twelve Ancestral Witches had already worked it out a very, very long time ago."
Siti, being exceptionally astute, instantly understood Sha Chen's implication.
Her eyes wide with shock, she asked, "Are you talking about the Celestial Shen Sha Array?"
Seeing Sha Chen nod, her shock and disbelief intensified. At the same time, she furrowed her brow and shook her head slightly, indicating her skepticism.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Celestial Shen Sha Array was indeed their creation, but even they spent countless years and only managed to deploy it during the final great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan."
"Moreover, even after setting it up, its power was greatly diminished due to a lack of personnel. In the end, they chose to engage the Demon Clan's Zhou Tian Xingchen Formation in a battle that proved mutually destructive, with both sides suffering heavy losses."
Sha Chen said, "What you say is true. They did indeed deploy the Celestial Shen Sha Array, but as you also mentioned, their formation was incomplete."
"They didn't even have all the necessary personnel. For instance, Empress Hou Tu had already gone to the Samsara Platform and did not participate in the final battle. The strength of the other Great Witches was also underwhelming; they weren't powerful enough to truly anchor the Celestial Shen Sha Array."
Siti said, "That's a fair point, but the Celestial Shen Sha Array was never truly completed. And even if it had been, it's unknown whether it could have perfectly unified the strength of the Ancestral Witches."
"Even if the array could perfectly fuse the strength of the twelve Ancestral Witches, you are still just one individual; you cannot embody all twelve of them. Therefore, it's uncertain if you could truly wield the full power of this Formation."
Sha Chen's eyes glowed with fervor and confidence. "The twelve Ancestral Witches wanted to use the Celestial Shen Sha Array to merge their strengths and unleash their true power. My body, however, already possesses the power of all their laws. Furthermore, many of them never even cultivated their respective laws to Great Perfection, falling far short of my current state."
"And now, with all these laws converged within me, and all of them cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm, my physical body serves as the foundation. If I inscribe the Celestial Shen Sha Array onto myself, into my Zhou Tian bloodlines, tell me, if the various Laws then stand guard over each of the formation's eyes, wouldn't I be able to unleash the power of the Array of All Gods and Evil Spirits?"
Siti was somewhat dumbfounded, scarcely daring to imagine it. Sha Chen's idea was simply too fantastical, too far beyond belief.
Nevertheless, she had to admit she was somewhat persuaded by Sha Chen.
And Sha Chen, brimming with confidence, said, "I've had this idea for a very long time. I've even obtained the Celestial Shen Sha Array, and later, I also figured out the Zhou Tian Xingchen Formation on my own."
"By inscribing these two formations—both capable of fusing the power of all things—onto myself, the resulting fusion will not merely be on the level of the twelve Ancestral Witches. I will even be able to fuse all things, absorbing the essence, energy, and spirit of everything in existence for my own use, thereby immensely augmenting my own strength."
Siti's expression grew grave. "If that's the case, might the power become too complex and overwhelming? If your physical body cannot withstand it, you could very well explode and perish."
Sha Chen said, "Your concern isn't baseless, but great rewards necessitate great risks. One cannot achieve formidable strength through comfort and ease."
