Gu Xu opened the first page of the booklet and saw a line of words written on it:

"Candles will eventually turn to ashes. But before it dies, it illuminates the dark night without light. ”

"Ash ......"

"Dying ......"

He recited these two words in his mind.

Faintly, he felt as if he had grasped the crux of the matter.

In the past, he once thought that the second type of "Bright Candle" in "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" was an enhanced version of the first type of "Firefly", which represented that the fire gradually became larger and more intense.

From the initial spark, it gradually ignited the whole world.

However, after opening this notebook, he found that the meaning of this "bright candle" was more complex than he originally imagined.

However, considering that Lord Si Shou was still sitting in front of him, Gu Xu restrained himself and did not immediately enter a state of epiphany.

Instead, he put the notebook on the table for the time being, and looked at the second booklet handed by the head of the Lotus.

On its cover, there are two large flowing words written -

"Star Array."

Gu Xu stared at these two words and was silent for a long time.

He read through the classics, and naturally he had seen the name in the books.

He knew that the "Star Array" was a high-grade spell created by Luo Chuan after he was promoted to the realm of a saint, and it was more famous than "Yunhai Xinghe Sword" and "Meteor Walking on the Moon".

Many years ago, Luo Chuan once relied on this spell to kill the "fierce god-level" ghost - "Yeming" in the South China Sea with his own strength.

…………

In the early years of Tianxing, a merchant sailed in the South China Sea. In the middle of the night, the cabin suddenly became bright, as if it was dawn.

The merchant got up and looked at it, and found a behemoth in the sea. Half of its body was jutting out of the water, like a mountain; The eyes were radiant, like two rising suns, illuminating the whole sea.

Seeing this monster the size of an island, the merchant was terrified.

He was afraid that the monster would suddenly open its bloody mouth and swallow his entire ship into its stomach.

However, at this moment, a figure like a fairy suddenly stepped on the clouds and appeared in the sky over the South China Sea.

Because the man was far away, and because of the silver-white light that was wrapped around his body, the merchant could not see his appearance clearly.

But the merchant could feel that there was an extremely terrifying aura on this person's body - although his size was like an ant standing in front of an elephant compared to the "Yeming" ghost, "Yeming" seemed to feel fear from the bottom of his heart because of his existence, and his huge body began to tremble and let out a low cry of terror.

The next moment, the man chanted a spell and waved his sleeves, and several stars fell from the sky, revolving around him in a specific trajectory; Then, like a meteorite, it suddenly smashed towards the location where "Yeming" was.

Suddenly a thousand flames rose on the surface of the sea.

The merchant stood on the boat, looking at this spectacular scene, and was stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, the fairy-like figure had already disappeared from his field of vision, leaving no trace.

And the "luminous" monster turned to ashes, and there were no bones left.

When the merchant finished his voyage at sea and returned to the shore, he heard from others that the powerful monk who had caused the "Night Bright" to disappear while talking and laughing was Luo Chuan, the head of the Demon Exorcism Division of the Great Qi Dynasty.

——The above content is excerpted from "The Legend of the Great Qi Gods: Night Bright", the author is unknown.

…………

"Star array", which means the arrangement of the stars on Sunday, was sometimes used by literati as a metaphor for Go.

According to the booklet, a monk who has mastered this spell can summon an unequal number of stars after chanting a specific spell, arrange them in arrays, and orbit them in a specific trajectory.

Of course, the "summoning" here is not to really pluck the stars in the sky, but to condense the stars in the sky with the power of its own true element.

These stars have both offensive and defensive functions.

It can deal damage to enemies and block attacks from the outside.

Moreover, depending on the star summoned by the monk, its effect is different.

For example, if the monk summons stars like "Seven Kills" and "Broken Army", then the "Star Array" they form will have a strong killing intent and can tear the enemy to pieces in an instant.

If the stars summoned by the monks are the stars that are more auxiliary and supportive, such as the "Celestial Beam" and the "Celestial Machine", then the "Star Array" they construct will be much weaker in terms of aggression, but it will have the function of enhancing defense and helping oneself and one's companions quickly restore their true element.

If the monk summons stars such as "sun" and "yin", then the "star array" they build may have the attribute of "burning" or "freezing";

……

In addition, the stars are arranged in different positions in the "star array", and the way they operate is different, and the effects are also different.

For example:

If the "broken army" and "Wenqu" appear at the same time, and the direction of movement is opposite, the attributes of the two stars will be suppressed at the same time - after all, there is such a saying in astrology: "Wenqu breaks the army, and the punishment is more laborious", "breaking the army" has a sense of determination like a bamboo, and "Wenqu" is relatively tortuous and relaxed, and they will restrain each other head-on;

However, if they are placed in the right position and let them rotate from west to east together, there is a saying that "Wen consumes in Yinmao, and all the water faces east", because "breaking the army" is a water attribute, and "Wenqu" is also a water attribute, and the two are parallel, then like a river pouring into the sea, the effect can be superimposed on each other and promote each other.

……

All in all, the Star Array is a very comprehensive and unpredictable spell. Because of the large number of stars in the sky, the possibilities are almost endless in terms of permutations and combinations, which also means that it is extremely difficult to get started.

According to the notes written by Luo Sishou in the booklet, except for the Emperor Star at the pole of the sky, Ziwei Star, there is a probability that other stars will appear in the "Star Array".

The higher the cultivation, the deeper the comprehension of this spell, and the greater the number of stars that can be summoned.

Normally, the stars summoned by the monk each time were random. If you want to summon powerful stars, you need a lot of luck.

However, Luo Chuan also said that the monk's own life will also affect the probability of the appearance of different stars.

For example, it is easier for the monks of the "Wenchang Star" to enter the Destiny Palace to summon the "Wenqu Star" with similar attributes, but it is difficult to summon the "Seven Killing Stars" that symbolize the might and the Lord to kill; People who sit in the palace of "Greedy Wolf Star" are more likely to summon peach blossom stars such as "Tianyao", "Hongluan", and "Xianchi"; If it is a lone star like "Tiansha" and "Widow", there is a high probability that the spell will fail, and not a single star can be summoned.

…………

After reading the basic introduction on the first few pages of the booklet, Gu Xu took a deep breath and thanked Luo Chuan again, and at the same time admired Luo Chuan for being able to create such a subtle spell.

In his opinion, the mysteriousness of this "Star Array" was definitely at the forefront even among the top-grade spells.

After all, most of the high-grade spells have relatively single attributes, either pure main killing, or pure main defense.

It is almost impossible to be as comprehensive and changeable as the "Star Array".

Not to mention a third realm cultivator like Gu Xu.

Even ordinary saint-level powerhouses would probably be deeply impressed by its all-encompassing nature when they saw it.

Now, since Gu Xu entered the third realm, he really needs to master some new combat methods as soon as possible.

The spells he had mastered before either relied on the talisman seal, or relied on the "Shocking Pen", or the level was too low to meet his renewal, or it was like the "Time" authority, which would quickly consume his true yuan once it was activated.

A spell as comprehensive as the "Star Array" was simply timely rain for him.

Learning it is at least equivalent to learning a dozen other spells.

"You're welcome, Gu Xiaoyou," Luo Chuan smiled slightly and responded, "Actually, this spell was not created by me, but the great 'Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor' poured it into my brain in the way of a dream.

"To this day, I still only have some of its fur in my hands, and I can only summon three stars at most, and I can't use its full power.

"I think it should be a good fit for you."

Luo Chuan has always liked to put the name of "Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor" in his mouth.

As long as others complimented him on his spells, he would humbly shake his head again and again, with a respectful attitude, indicating that these were all gifts from the "Ziwei Emperor" to him.

Luo Chuan said that the reason why he was able to become a saint was because the "Ziwei Emperor" showed him the way forward in the dark; The reason why he was able to use the Heavenly Machine Technique to gain insight into everything in the world was because the "Emperor Ziwei" lent him his eyes; And he was able to create high-grade spells, and it was Emperor Ziwei who gave him inspiration.
