Chapter 366: Array Sect
The various exercises in the cultivation realm of the Triple Continent are strange, like a hundred flowers contending, each with its own merits. Similarly, the people of the Imperial Gate specialize in domesticating powerful demon beasts to fight, and the people of the Sword Washing Valley have excellent swordsmanship and are extremely powerful, and the strange twins of the Ghost Gate and the Gate of Life and Death are so on.
However, there are two special kinds of cultivators in the cultivation realm, which are equivalent to going to extremes, and their strength and status are far from asymmetrical.
One is the alchemist led by the Danding faction, because alchemy will cause the deposition of wood residue in the body and slow down the body's reaction, the overall cultivation is lower than that of ordinary cultivators. However, their status in the cultivation realm was quite high, because the pills they refined had a wide range of effects, and sometimes being able to possess a high-grade pill was equivalent to giving an extra life to ordinary cultivators. Therefore, befriending an alchemist is an unattainable thing for many cultivators, and when a fifth-order alchemist in the out-of-body period goes out, even a cultivator in the distraction period does not dare to offend.
The other kind of cultivator is the formation master led by the formation sect, who is proficient in arranging all kinds of wonderful formations, and can also apply the formation method in battle. In the cultivation realm, all cultivators understand one thing, when encountering a formation master in the same realm, they must retreat, and if they do not have a strong defensive ability, they must not easily fight with them. The formation master's instantaneous explosive power is the strongest among all cultivators, and they are also cultivators of the fifth heaven of the out-of-body period, and the formation master definitely has the ability to kill other cultivators in seconds!
However, the identity of the formation master is the easiest to be despised in the cultivation realm, because although the formation master is explosive and unstoppable, their shortcomings are very obvious. When they use the formation, they need to use a variety of aura-rich formation bases, the higher the combat power of the outbreak, the greater the reliance on the formation base, once the formation base aura is exhausted, the formation master will basically lose its combat effectiveness, and even become weaker than the alchemist.
Formation masters are quick when they fight people, and if they can't take down their opponents in a short time, their lives will be in danger. Therefore, if most cultivators have a conflict with the formation master, as long as they can persist in a round of indiscriminate bombardment in the hands of the formation master, they will basically be able to defeat the formation master. Of course, if you can't hold on to a round of attacks from the formation division, you will be self-defeating.
Most people know the shortcomings of the formation master, and they also know that fighting with the formation master requires flexible body skills to maneuver around and try to delay time. The characteristics of the formation master's weak successor are particularly unpopular in the cultivation realm, and they rely too much on the formation base and make people criticize, and everyone looks down on them to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, although their combat power is high, they are far less respectable than the alchemists, and they do not allow other cultivators to knock a pill anytime and anywhere to save their lives like the alchemists.
However, the formation master is still quite important in the cultivation realm, and many sects will use the formation to a greater or lesser extent, whether it is used to protect the foundation of the sect or to protect and cherish treasures, the formation is indispensable. However, not every sect has cultivators who are proficient in formation, and it is impossible for the sect to spend energy to cultivate a formation master, so whenever there is a formation problem, they will go to the formation sect and invite the formation master to come and help.
It can be said that although the formation master is occasionally looked down upon, many sects will still receive the formation master very politely, because the formation master is like an alchemist, and his main role is not to fight. The formation master will arrange formations for many sects or cities, families and other forces in the cultivation realm to protect their territory or facilitate their actions.
There are two sects on the Triple Continent that specialize in cultivating formations, one is the Formation Sect, which arranges traditional formations and is known as Formation Master. The other is the Fu Zong, who engraves the formation in the rune paper, and then uses the rune paper to cast spells, which is called the rune master. However, the people of the Fu Sect like to call this kind of technique a rune, which is different from the formation technique.
The techniques of the two sects are essentially the same, but the formation master of the cultivation realm is the mainstream, and the rune master is not as famous as the formation master.
The Array Sect is located in the remote misty valley of the Triple Continent. The valley is vast and covered by a thick fog barrier that can be disorienting even when flying in the air. Without the guidance of the disciples of the Array Sect, outsiders would definitely have nowhere to enter the valley, and even the most advanced cultivators would know that this was not a holy place for sightseeing.
It is very simple for the people of the Array Sect to accept disciples, there is a Formation Gate at the entrance of the Misty Valley, there is gossip in the array, and if you can crack the three trigrams, you can become a new disciple of the Array Sect. Those who enter the formation gate must have the permission of the formation gate, and the formation gate will judge whether you are qualified to become a formation master. If you don't measure your own strength, it's easy to get lost in the formation, so the formation gate only allows people who are related to the formation to pass through.
The disciples of the Array Sect are divided into three levels of talent: congenital, middle heaven, and acquired, with the acquired talent being the lowest and the innate disciple having the highest talent. In the array gate, those who can crack the three trigrams are the acquired disciples, those who crack the four trigrams and the five trigrams are the disciples of the middle heaven, and those who crack the six trigrams, the seven trigrams and the eight trigrams are the innate disciples.
In the Array Sect for thousands of years, there were very few innate disciples, which meant that they had already cracked at least the six trigrams when they were at the beginning. After these innate disciples were cultivated, they were undoubtedly not the mainstay talents of the Array Sect. So far, the only person who can completely crack the gossip is said to be the genius of the Array Sect, and the only living ancestor of the Array Sect today, the Formation Heavenly Dao!
Every day, there are two disciples of the Formation Sect guarding the Formation Gate, and if someone succeeds in breaking through the formation, they will know.
It was a hot and humid afternoon, and the two disciples of the Misty Valley were yawning boredly. Which two people were on duty every day meant that they couldn't cultivate, and they could only honestly guard the formation.
"It's been three months since anyone came to break into the formation, right?" Zhan Bingnai is one of the guardian disciples of today's Formation Sect, and the people on duty are all acquired disciples, and the disciples of Zhongtian and Innate will not come here to do this kind of errand.
"What's the matter, our Formation Sect hasn't recruited Zhongtian disciples through the Formation for a year, as for the innate disciples, I haven't seen them for ten years, those Innate Formation Masters are all in a hurry, I heard that Liu Array Master brought back a highly talented Zhongtian disciple outside last month, and he was rewarded by the sect master!" Another acquired disciple named Fan Wen showed an unconcealable envy on his face when he talked about the Zhongtian disciple.
"If an innate disciple can appear, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Array Sect. Think about it, there is only one Senior Brother Mu Chenghong in our Array Sect who is an innate disciple!"
"Alas, innate disciple, it's really enviable!" Fan Wen said with reverence on his face.
The talent of the middle heaven disciples is much stronger than that of the acquired disciples, and they will be vigorously cultivated by the sect, and they are also the backbone of the formation sect. As for the innate disciples, not to mention, the kind of talents that belong to the vigorous cultivation of the Array Sect, the pillars of the Array Sect, and the resources of the sect will be tilted to the hands of the innate disciples.
However, it is really rare to be able to become an innate disciple, and there is only one innate disciple in the Rao is Array Sect in the past ten years!
Just like a rare treasure, if a second innate disciple can appear, you don't have to think about it to know that the sect will do anything to cultivate him!
"Buzz!"
There was a sudden fluctuation from the formation gate, attracting the attention of the two of them. This is a young man of eighteen or nineteen, with a white face and a very ordinary appearance, but there is an indescribable sense of depression between his eyebrows.
"This guy wants to gossip?" Zhan Bing frowned and glanced at Fan Wen.
"This guy only has a foundation building stage cultivation, he looks like he's twenty years old, right?
Zhan Bing shook his head: "The principle of our apprenticeship is that he is not more than twenty years old, he should be eligible, but he is still too old, not to mention that his cultivation is so low, he is not suitable for cultivation at all." ”
Most of the new disciples of the Formation Sect were no more than sixteen years old when they first started, and the younger they were, the more beneficial it would be to learn the formation. But the disciples of the Array Sect are also cultivators, and they not only have to learn the formation, but also cultivate spiritual power. This young man is so old and doesn't have any cultivation, which means that he will spend most of his energy on cultivation, which is more than worth the loss.
"I'll go warn him!" Fan Wen's figure had disappeared in place and appeared next to the formation gate.
Mu Yu was looking up at the formation gate in a trance, before he came, he had already asked someone about the general situation of the formation sect, and he also knew the conditions for them to recruit disciples. He is not ignorant of the formation, after all, he has more or less studied with Deadwood and knows a lot, but he can really only be regarded as a drop in the bucket in front of Deadwood.
At this moment, Mu Yu modified his face and pressed his cultivation in the foundation building period to avoid arousing too much suspicion. He looked at the gate and was thinking about how there was no one to guard it, when a voice came from the side of the gate.
"Hey, boy, we don't accept older disciples here. Fan Wen said lazily.
"I heard that the Array Sect only recruits disciples under the age of twenty, and I am only nineteen years old, so I am eligible. Mu Yu said calmly. He deliberately suppressed his aura cultivation, after all, he was now a famous True God disciple in the cultivation realm, and once he was discovered by the people of the Array Sect, they would definitely not let Mu Yu enter the Formation Sect. If he was targeted by the people of Mie Palace here, he himself might be exposed to Mie Palace's field of vision.
Fan Wen snorted, looked Mu Yu up and down, and said domineeringly: "You are too old, your cultivation is too low, even if you become a disciple of our Array Sect, you won't have much achievement, so let's go back quickly!"
Mu Yu frowned and said, "How do you know if you don't try?" Besides, did the elders of the Array Sect ask you to stop me?"
Fan Wen was deducted a big hat, his face was a little unhappy, and he reprimanded: "It's really beyond your strength! With your qualifications, I'm afraid you won't even be able to break through the first hexagram, and our Formation Sect won't accept it without breaking through the three trigrams." ”
"Since I meet the requirements, and there is no elder of the Array Sect to let you do this, then I am eligible to enter. Mu Yu glanced at Fan Wen and walked into the formation gate by himself.
"Y-good! you remember for me!" Fan Wen said angrily, then looked at Mu Yu's figure very unpleasantly, and then returned to Zhan Bing's side.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Bing said with a smile.
"When he becomes an acquired disciple in the future, I will definitely teach him a good lesson. Fan Wen snorted coldly.
Zhan Bing shook his head, he knew that Fan Wen was a small-minded person, but he still persuaded: "Don't provoke others first, what if he is a Zhongtian disciple or an innate disciple?
Fan Wen showed a mocking look: "Will he become an innate disciple? Don't be a fool's dream! At such an old age, it is impossible to become a Zhongtian disciple at such a low age!"
Zhan Bing stopped talking, and set his eyes on Mu Yu who had entered the formation gate.
