Chapter 12 Hun Yuan Ligature
Seriously speaking, the reason why Ye Qiuli's success rate at this time was far beyond that of other cultivators who were about the same as his cultivation realm, and he could almost touch the edge of the master-level realm, in addition to the "Baicao Danlu" and "Changfeng Baojian" left by Baicaosanren and Wei Changfeng, the two special exercises left by Xuanjizi also had great merit.
After cultivating the "Xingchen Jue", his mental power was significantly improved, not only did his ability to analyze and deduce greatly improved, but he could easily understand and understand the advanced techniques that were very profound and difficult to understand in the eyes of many ordinary cultivators, and he had a very huge advantage in blending materials, arranging array casting, controlling the refining process, etc., and he was already superior to others on the innate basis of the alchemy tool.
The various arrangements and the know-how of using formations recorded in the "Xuanji Spectrum" directly improved his knowledge and experience, allowing him to be familiar with the road in the process of refining, handy, and able to complete the most critical formation layout with the fastest speed, the most accurate movements, and the most stringent requirements, greatly reducing the probability of failure and increasing the quality of the finished product.
The "Hunyuan Ligature" is the secret method of Qimen recorded in the appendix of the "Xuanji Spectrum", which is one of the most essential parts of this magical exercise. It was originally a technique for quickly arranging formations for battle in "Xuanji Spectrum", and it was possible to lay out a complete formation in a single stroke, which was as convenient and fast as using the formation flag. Moreover, this secret method is even easier to use than the formation flag, it allows cultivators to directly use their own mana and true yuan to arrange the formation, and does not need to use additional formation flags, magic weapons, spars and other formation base materials, and it is the means of the ancient monks to arrange and use the forbidden law.
In the process of battle, whether or not you can quickly and accurately lay out the formations you need is directly related to the success or failure of the cultivators, and determines the practical value of the Xuanji Spectrum. Therefore, in order to make up for this shortcoming, the founder of this exercise repeatedly deduced and restored the methods and means of prohibitions and forbidden methods according to the methods and means used by some ancient monks who had passed down from the Honghuang cultivation world, and finally created this set of secret methods, which was aimed at using forbidden techniques to solve the problem of formations.
As mentioned above, the original formation evolved from the prohibition, and it was the product of the ancient cultivators who simplified the requirements for the prohibition to be cast, and there was a huge correlation between the two, both in principle and function, and sometimes they could even transform each other. The main difference between a formation and a ban is that a formation is composed of a substantial formation base combined with energy, while a ban is completely composed of energy, one has an entity, and the other has no entity.
In the hands of ordinary people, the power of the prohibition is not as good as the formation, but it is more convenient and faster to use than the formation, and in the hands of the top masters, after the high-level prohibition is really used, its effect and power are far from being comparable to the ordinary formation. Just like those ancient ruins in the Burial God Abyss, most of the dangerous areas are surrounded by the ancient god forbidden, and they are still in play today, and the formations that are really erected in there are all top-level god formations covering dozens of hundreds, thousands of planets, and the general formations are basically all replaced by various prohibitions.
In fact, judging from the birth order of the formation and the ban, the period when the ban appeared was even earlier, and it was the most common means used by the ancient gods, and the various skills such as formations, seals, spells, and supernatural powers that appeared later were actually simplified and redeveloped by the ban, which can reflect the traces of the existence of the ban everywhere, and there is still a lot of commonality in nature, and the duplication of functions is also very common.
From the perspective of the entire cultivation world, the formation, The division of prohibitions and the like is only relatively clear in the low-level realm, each with its own principles and usage, the difference is very obvious, and in the eyes of those top masters who perceive the most essential laws of the universe, all the means are actually the same, they are the specific application of the laws of heaven and earth, as long as they understand the fundamental principles, any kind of technique can be at their fingertips, as they like, for them, as long as a certain means can achieve the function they need, it doesn't matter what the specific name is.
Of course, this kind of realm is certainly worth everyone's expectations, but it is indeed a little too high, without a cultivation realm above the immortal level, there is no ability to involve the fur in it, for ordinary cultivators who have not yet ascended, it is completely an unattainable existence, if they want to have that ability, they still need to go through countless years of hard work. In the normal cultivation process, the vast majority of cultivators often use skills such as formations and spells, such as prohibitions, which are relatively high-end things, and people who are truly proficient are actually very rare.
At this time, Ye Qiuli effortlessly mastered a complete set of forbidden use secret methods, and his luck and chance were indeed extremely good. You must know that the original creation principle of the "Hunyuan Combination Formula" was to imitate the methods of the ancient monks, based on the prohibition, and quickly arrange the formations required by the cultivators, so as to exert the great power of the various formation secret techniques recorded in the "Xuanji Spectrum" at any time during the battle. Relatively speaking, it is more closely related to the various formations circulating in the cultivation world today, and it is also more convenient to deduce and analyze the secrets of the prohibition from them, which is more suitable for modern cultivators to learn and use.
If there are any deficiencies in this set of "Hunyuan Word Formula" recorded in the "Xuanji Spectrum", it can only be because the use of the ancient ban has indeed been lost for too long, and this set of secret methods has not been able to completely reproduce the style of the ancient god forbidden. However, even so, this secret method was still one of the precious and abnormal top-level secret methods in the cultivation world, and it was great luck for ordinary cultivators to see it, let alone completely learn it in their hands.
Compared with ordinary supernatural spells, the "Hunyuan Liga Technique" still retains a bit of the style of the ancient gods, which can allow cultivators to master a set of miraculous skills. In the cultivation realm, the essence of the use of the ancient prohibition has almost been completely lost, and now, there are still all kinds of formations that are simple or complex, with different functions and powers, and the existence of prohibitions is really very rare.
Even if it is like the Shenhuo Gate, after countless years and a huge amount of energy, the research and summary of thousands of forbidden functions and effects, when it is really used, there are still no particularly effective skills and know-how, and finally have to rely on strong cultivation, step by step to play the seal, gradually add prohibitions to the magic weapon, and bless the supernatural powers, even if there is a little skill, it does not have much impact on the overall situation.
This method is basically to use the prohibition as a substitute for the formation, although it is a big step ahead of the ordinary refining method, but it is still not perfect, there are still many flaws, and the requirements for the user's cultivation are too harsh. The key reason why Ye Qiuli's previous attempt to refine the bundle immortal rope failed halfway was this, when the cultivation was insufficient, the speed of adding prohibitions could not keep up with the requirements of magic weapon refining, and in the end, he had to regret that his previous achievements were incomparably unsuccessful, and his previous efforts were wasted.
At this point, the advantage of "Hun Yuan Liga Formula" is very great, although its original principles and know-how are only used to speed up the layout of the relevant formations in the "Xuanji Spectrum", but the wisdom of human beings is infinite, and later cultivators gradually extended it and borrowed it from the process of refining magic weapons, and developed a set of strange and abnormal unique refining secrets, which can very effectively solve one of the most critical problems. After all, in the process of refining the magic weapon, in addition to smelting and blending various materials, the most critical step is to arrange a special formation and prohibition inside the magic weapon.
Taking the most common magic weapon in the cultivation world, the flying sword, as an example, setting up various complex formations to realize the function of the flying sword on the sword body that is less than one or two feet big and no more than three or five inches small is a very difficult thing, no matter who it is in the hands of, it is a very difficult thing, if the various formations and prohibitions can be successfully arranged in the form of pure energy bodies in advance, and then pressed into the sword body as a whole, it can naturally greatly improve the success rate of refining and enhance the quality of the flying sword.
The advantages of this refining method are so significant, of course, the refining masters in the cultivation realm have also studied it, and they have achieved a lot of results. For example, when refining small magic weapons such as jade talismans, many refining masters can rely on their strong strength to depict the relevant talisman formations out of thin air, and then press them into the magic weapon body as a whole to quickly complete the refining of the magic weapon. Ye Qiuli had done this when he was processing jade runes for others on the Ancient Relic Star, and the quality of the spirit runes he refined was indeed very good, the only fly in the ointment was that it took a little more time and energy, and the refining efficiency was too low.
This method of refining weapons can also be used when refining some simple and direct small magic weapons, but it is very difficult to really use it in the refining process of high-level magic weapons. In the cultivation world, if you want to successfully refine a high-level magic weapon with outstanding functions and quality, the formations, prohibitions, magic techniques, and mudras that need to be used in it can range from hundreds to thousands of hands, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of hands, and if you want to integrate them all at once, and ensure its efficacy and stability, without the know-how and skills of transcendent sanctification, no matter how strong your strength is, it is impossible to do it.
For example, the special type of restricted magic weapon such as the bundle of immortal ropes, in addition to refining the magic weapon body and arranging the basic formation in it, there are more than 18,000 handprints of all kinds of prohibitions just to achieve its special functions, and so many seals are played, for ordinary refiners, they can only rely on their strong cultivation to seize the opportunity and complete it in one go before the prohibition dissipates. If you want to control it all out of thin air and forcibly twist it into a whole, it can't be said to be completely unrealistic, but that kind of strength requirement is almost to the level of a middle and high-level immortal.
