Cao Fan's formation level was like a blank piece of paper, so the first thing that Jie Lao popularized to him was the basic knowledge of the formation.

To say that although the world in this painting is pitfalling, the level of knowledge imparted by the elders of the world is not to be said. A novice like Cao Fan, who had no foundation, listened to his explanation, not only quickly entered the door, but also was full of interest.

What impressed Cao Fan the most was the formation training system in the painting. As if using virtual reality technology, all kinds of materials presented in front of him in front of him were first-level formations, and they could be accurately placed on a huge open space with just a single thought.

On the side of his field of vision, there are also very clear formations of various formations, which can be retrieved and viewed at any time, and even arranged according to the map. Moreover, after the formation is arranged, the wrong operation will be corrected by the elders of the world.

Cao Fan felt that even if it was a real big sect, it didn't have such good learning conditions. Aside from the setting of the pit man who can't leave the realm in the painting without completing the assigned task, this is simply a paradise for formation mages to improve their formation level.

Of course, learning is one thing, practical application is another, and the final assessment is the real difficulty.

Cao Fan had to arrange the four first-level formations randomly designated by the Elder of the Realm without any formation diagram to refer to, and then he had to break the two formations that also appeared randomly within a limited time.

And this is only a small part of the tasks that Cao Fan has to complete in the formation realm.

There are forty-three different formations in the scope of the first-level formation mage's investigation, and it takes a lot of time just to memorize the formation diagrams of these formations.

However, the Realm Elder told Cao Fan at the beginning that before he failed in the assessment, the time of the Formation Boundary was stagnant. No matter how much time he spent studying the Formation Path, it didn't actually waste real time.

Of course, as long as he fails the assessment, he will lose this time bonus forever. After that, although he can still take the assessment again, it is synchronized with real time. Moreover, the interval between the two assessments is 20 years, and the difficulty of the task will increase accordingly.

Those who are trapped in the realm of painting are obviously the losers of the assessment, and can only continue to consume time here. Because they are in the middle of the painting, they still maintain the image they came in from. Some people are afraid that they have already exhausted their longevity, and as soon as they come out of the middle of the painting, they will die immediately.

Cao Fan knew that he must not fail, since time was stagnant before failure, he would rather spend more effort studying these formations until he was completely sure to accept the assessment of the realm elders.

There are no years of cultivation, and Cao Fan has unknowingly studied the formation path in the painting realm for two years. All kinds of formations are already familiar with their chests, and they are all easy to arrange and break formations, as if he is already a very qualified first-level formation mage.

Now, Cao Fan doesn't even need three breaths to arrange a small first-level formation, and it doesn't even take two incense sticks to complete it. This is far below the standard set-up time.

All of this is thanks to Cao Fan's cultivation of the Heavenly Fortune Creation Technique.

The Heavenly Fortune Creation Technique is not only a powerful cultivation technique, but also has a very significant effect on the cultivator's various abilities. The general outline part has a detailed method on how to use the spiritual power of Heavenly Fortune to improve the effect of the Dan Dao, the Array Dao, the Instrument Dao, and the Runic Dao, and it is with the help of the Heavenly Fortune Array Dao method in it that Cao Fan has achieved such good results in the study of the Array Dao.

The assessment began.

The Realm Elder asked Cao Fan to arrange four small formations within twenty breaths, namely the first-level Spirit Gathering Array "Bafang Hui Spirit Array", the first-level trapped array "Yellow Sand Trapping Spirit Array", the first-level killing array "Flame Burning Spirit Array", and the first-level defensive array "Peak Rock Formation".

It would take at least forty breaths for a normal formation mage to arrange these four formations in one go, and it would be extremely difficult for even an experienced formation master to complete such four formations in twenty breaths.

It's one thing to be able to set up a formation, it's another thing to complete a formation in a limited time.

No wonder almost no one was able to leave the boiling sea. The monks who can enter this island are generally monks who have cultivated their bodies, and monks who can cultivate to the realm of Jiedan and spend a lot of time refining their bodies, where can they still have a high level of formation cultivation?

However, it is not a coincidence that Cao Fan, who cultivates the Heavenly Fortune Creation Technique, is not afraid of such an extreme challenge.

He laid out the four formations, and it only took a total of thirteen breaths, and he passed the first assessment very easily.

Cao Fan had to pass a total of three quest challenges before he could leave the painting realm.

The second mission assesses the second-level formation. Given that he successfully passed the first exam, he was still blessed with a layer of time rule power, which meant that no matter how long he studied, he would not consume real time.

The second-level formation Cao Fan only studied for more than a year before he completely mastered it. The reason for studying for so long for the first time was because he had no foundation at all, and he would encounter a lot of difficulties when starting over.

This assessment required Cao Fan to arrange a second-level protector formation in a quarter of an hour, and get out of a second-level trapped formation in five breaths.

It would take at least six hours for a second-level protector large array to be arranged normally, even if the array equipment could be placed with mind in the formation boundary, it would not be possible to run for an hour. The time requirement of a quarter of an hour is no longer as simple as being harsh, it is simply not passable.

The Heavenly Fortune Array Dao Technique once again exerted an amazing effect, Cao Fan's formation speed was as fast as the wind, and a second-level Protector Sect Great Array within a radius of hundreds of miles was just enough for him to complete in half an hour.

Next up is the Siege Formation.

What Cao Fan was facing was the most difficult of the second-level trapped formations to crack the "Wind Blade Strangling Array". The standard time for a formation mage in the late stage of foundation building is generally twenty breaths, and there is almost no possibility for a formation mage in the Qi cultivation period to break the formation.

The breaking time of the five breaths is simply bullying people.

Cao Fan's cultivation is in the Qi training period, but his actual combat power is already very close to the level of the Dan Formation Period. But he could only manipulate his simulated image to break the formation during the assessment, and this simulated person only retained his cultivation, and did not copy his real combat power. This greatly increased the difficulty of Cao Fan's breakthrough.

If he uses his basic combat power of up to 167 to break the formation, Cao Fan is confident that he can break the formation within three breaths, but it will be difficult to use virtual people.

Fortunately, he can also let the virtual person hold the golden hoop stick (pseudo), and the surge of fifty points of strength allowed Cao Fan to successfully break the formation in the fifth breath of a moment, and finally passed the second assessment.

The content of the third assessment locked the third-level formation without any suspense, and this was the formation level that could pose a threat to the monks of the Yudan period, and the difficulty of arranging the formation was much higher than before.

This time, it took Cao Fan a full four years to master all the third-level formations.

The assessment of the elders of the world is becoming more and more perverted every time, but no matter how difficult this third assessment is, Cao Fan must pass it.

For the sake of the Cangyun Sect!
