Chapter 108: Introduction to Formation
The so-called array plate is actually a kind of instrument for arranging the array.
When he was studying combat command, Chu Yun had also learned a lot of formations, such as the one-word long snake formation, the eagle soaring wild goose wing formation, or something, but he knew very little about the formation of immortal cultivators, although he had purchased a piece of jade slip for the introduction of formations, he had never had time to conduct in-depth research.
Chu Yun cautiously probed a wisp of divine thought into the array.
This array was originally called the Great Array of Ecstasy, containing thirty-six array flags, laid down in a certain direction, embedded with spirit stones on the array plate as power, and the large array was formed.
The Great Ecstasy Array has the effect of trapping the enemy and disturbing the enemy, if you hold the array disk in the center to dispatch and command, with its power, even if the immortal cultivators in the foundation building period strayed into it, they would not want to get out of trouble easily.
This array is not a deep formation, the range of the formation can cover a maximum radius of seventy meters, and every hour of use, five spirit stones must be consumed. Chu Yun studied it carefully, but after all, he belonged to a layman, and he couldn't start at all, so he had to take out the jade slip of "Introduction to Formation" for reference.
The divine thoughts penetrated deep into the jade slip, and a lot of introductory formation knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind, and then compared with this ecstasy array, he faintly had a little understanding in his heart.
"Introduction to Formation" describes the origin, change, introduction, evolution, and examples of various formations in detail from shallow to deep, and has some similarities with Chu Yun's battle formation command array, but its complexity and subtlety are very different.
The way of the formation is actually to use many factors such as the complementarity of yin and yang of heaven and earth, the mutual growth of the five elements, and the dislocation of time and space to gather them within a certain range, so that the space is chaotic, yin and yang are reversed, and the five elements clash with each other. so as to confuse people's minds and achieve the effect of trapping the enemy and killing people.
If you follow the step-by-step process, anyone who knows some directions can use the array plate freely, and only a little calculation can be used to successfully set up the array. But if you want to bring out the full power of the formation, you must have a considerable study of the formation.
It must be known that the formation has been running endlessly, and the people in the formation will never sit still, and they will definitely use all kinds of means to crack it. If the person who arranges the formation has attainments in the formation, he can take advantage of the situation and use the formation plate in his hand to preside over the operation of the formation, so as to avoid the real and the virtual, and deal with the enemy's cracking method at will.
There are many professions in the cultivation realm, such as alchemists, talisman makers, refiners, medicine cultivators, appraisers, and so on. Of course, there are also array mages, but their number is quite rare, and the number of famous array mages is not even one thousandth of that of alchemists.
A real formation mage can not only arrange the formation without relying on the formation plate, but also make the formation plate by himself. Of course, cracking the formations laid by others will test the level of the school formation mage.
If you want to become a formation mage, you don't need to have a high level of immortal cultivation talent, but you must have a smart brain, and you must have strong deduction and calculation skills.
It can be said that any outstanding formation mage must be an extremely intelligent person.
However, the deduction of the formation is a tedious and time-wasting thing, during which there are many variables such as mutual growth and mutual restraint, and if you want to achieve something, you must put most of your energy on repeated deduction, but where is there still time for cultivation?
Therefore, there are very few gifted immortal cultivators who study the study of the formation method - if they have the time to deduce the formation method, why not cultivate their mana penance? Striving to improve their own cultivation realm is the royal way.
For some sects' complex mountain protection arrays, it is not surprising that it even takes decades to deduce a certain variable, and it must be completed by many array mages working together, which consumes the brain power and hard work of the array mages.
Many formation mages often die suddenly in deduction due to overuse of brain power, and the rest rarely have a long lifespan, because they usually have little time to cultivate, most of the ordinary array mages are not highly cultivated, and even the success of foundation building cannot be guaranteed, which is destined to be extremely rare people engaged in this kind of profession.
The so-called scarcity is expensive, because of scarcity, it has created the transcendent status of the array mage. These guys are all treasures, not to mention that the formations in each treasure place need to be cracked, such as the teleportation array, the guardian array, and what kind of spirit gathering, extinguishing and other formations must always need them.
Therefore, if there are outstanding array mages, most of them are snared by various sects, even if their cultivation is not high, they can still be respected by high-level immortal cultivators.
"Introduction to Formations" not only records many common formations, but also records some super-powerful formations.
For example, the super mountain protection array with a defense range of 100,000 miles, such as the trapped immortal array that can be trapped even by immortals, and the self-detonation array that can destroy a continent at a time.
Destroying one continent at a time, isn't this ten thousand times more powerful than the five super-hydrogen bombs in our storage bag? The shock in Chu Yun's heart was simply not too much.
There is also an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, which can teleport tens of millions of miles in an instant! Teleport thousands of miles in an instant, and he is very sure that this formation must make use of the principle of the leap of space points.
Such a powerful formation does not require too much mana from the person who sets it up. Chu Yun's heart suddenly became hot, he was originally a person who was good at calculation, coupled with the junior brother's assistance in deduction and calculation, with his powerful computing power hundreds of millions of times a second, what complex formation could not be deduced?
When the time comes, if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, they will make a big self-destruction array at the door of his house, quack! He laughed silently.
Well, the little brother is a treasure, and he can refine the pill and set up the array. However, the younger brother did not have a mind and could not read the information in the jade slip. These formation knowledge can only be understood but cannot be spoken, how to enter these formation knowledge into the junior brother's program, it is a troublesome thing.
How to convey the divine thought information in the jade slip to the junior brother was indeed a difficult problem, and Chu Yun didn't know how to solve it. But he firmly believes that sooner or later there will be a solution. Knowing that studying the way of formation is not an overnight effort, he immediately cherished the "Introduction to Formation" and the array plate into the Qiankun bag.
Then, his mind moved, and he picked up the bottles of pills and looked at them one by one, two bottles each contained a small myelin cleansing pill, and he didn't know the pills in the other bottles, and there were two bottles containing black liquid, as soon as he opened the cap, there was a burst of aroma, just smelled a trace of breath, there was a dizziness in his brain, and one of them almost fell to the ground.
This black liquid is actually a kind of strange poisonous medicine! After sobering up, Chu Yun found the words engraved on the bottom of the bottle-Soul Liquid! In the jade slips that he had read before, he had seen that there was a record of the preparation method of this Soul Liquid, this thing was extremely poisonous, it was prepared by collecting many poisonous things, rotting flesh and bones, even if the foundation building monk was contaminated, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die!
This is a good thing for the Yin people! Chu Yun did not shy away from it because of its toxicity, but instead turned out the jade slip and kept the method of use firmly in his heart, so he carefully put the soul liquid into his pocket.
At this point, all the treasures that the two ghosts of Beijiang had worked so hard to collect were put into Chu Yun's pocket, and then it was finally Deacon Ye's turn to store the ring.
The net worth of an immortal cultivator in the late stage of foundation building is naturally different from that of the two guys who only practice qi compared to the two ghosts of Beijiang.
The Mingyang Sword and that frozen talisman alone made 0827 suffer enough.
Now that the Frozen Talisman has been scrapped, the flying sword was brought back to Xuanjing by Chu Yun. However, this item cannot be stored in the Qiankun bag at all.
Chu Yun thought about it for a while, tentatively pasted the Mingyang Sword on the corner of his forehead, and secretly wondered in his heart whether there was any mystery in the Mingyang Sword. As soon as his divine thoughts moved, he felt that the sword body trembled slightly, as if there was an inexplicable force preventing his divine thoughts from entering. The feeling given to Chu Yun is that this kind of power is not the kind that is invincible, but the feeling of holding each other. Obviously, with a little more effort, Divine Thoughts should be able to invade the flying sword.
I don't believe in evil, as soon as Chu Yun gritted his teeth, his divine thoughts rushed with all his might, and he felt that the strength of the resistance had also increased accordingly, but the increase was obviously not as large as the impact of Chu Yun's divine thoughts, and it gradually had a tendency to decay.
Chu Yun was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately attacked the Mingyang Sword with all his divine thoughts, and after persisting for about an hour, the strength of the resistance weakened sharply, and Chu Yun's divine thoughts drove straight in, but when he saw a few wisps of dark green filaments, the power of resistance disappeared in a flash.
What kind of place is this? Chu Yun looked around and found that this was a narrow space, and there was nothing else but inscribed with intricate patterns. His mind wandered around, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
This guy took the strength of his old nose to enter the flying sword, but he didn't find anything, Chu Yun suddenly withdrew from his thoughts, but found that there was a shadow of this flying sword in his heart, and he couldn't say that he tried it, but he successfully retracted it into the Qiankun bag.
