Chapter 304: The Way of Formation
"Xiaocheng, do you have to master the fourth-level formation? This requirement is a bit high. Even if you study for a hundred years, you may not be able to master the fourth-level Zhoutian formation. If you want to master it by force, you must have the foundation-building cultivation."
"What are you talking about? You haven't even mastered the fourth-level formation. What can you say? There are many foundation-building cultivators in the clan, and there must be a lot of people participating. It's already very good for us to be able to listen in."
"That's right. Almost all the masters were invited to this formation conference. The masters demonstrated in person. This is much clearer than research documents. The gains from listening in will definitely not be less. Maybe you can even break through the existing topics!"
As soon as the news of the formation conference came out, the response was huge, and the formation masters were very excited.
The formation is extremely difficult to master. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, it is almost impossible to learn advanced formations by yourself.
Over the years, even the most skilled formation masters may have accumulated a lot of confusion, which is worth discussing.
For example, Gu Luosheng is in this situation. He has obviously reached the golden elixir, but he is still studying the star formation.
He can't master a more advanced formation, this is one of them.
Second, Su Die did not research a more advanced formation.
In addition to answering questions, the formation conference also gathers ideas and discusses future development, which may lead to the birth of the Tiangang Disha formation.
The more the monks present watched, the more excited they were, and they gained a lot.
The fewer the runes, the more information can be expressed, and the stronger the power displayed.
Zhoutian, Xingdou, Tiangang, Disha, Tiangan, Dizhi, Liangyi, Taiji, these are all changes in the number of runes.
At least it has been more than three months since he entered this realm, but he still can't reproduce it, at least he can't reproduce it actively.
The second level, the skilled level, with the improvement of proficiency, the formation master can use the formation flags and talismans to complete the formation within a few breaths, and match the heaven and earth, and use the power of heaven and earth to activate the mystery of the formation, which can already be put into practice.
However, there is a higher realm above this!
According to the secrets of the ancient formation masters and Ming Hongjun's years of deduction.
No matter how advanced the formation is, it cannot avoid the principle of three days.
"Dean Qiu is right. The basic conditions must be met."
"The above is the basic essence of the formation. You can speak freely or directly analyze the topic of the conference."
In fact, the unity of man and sword for mortals is just a description, indicating a perfect match with the weapon, not a real fusion.
Many formation masters entered and sat in their seats.
Stars correspond to foundation building.
"I support it. It doesn't matter if you can't learn it deeply. At least there won't be an extreme shortage of manpower." Most of the family leaders support it.
"This should be the third foundation of the sixth level!"
Heavenly stems and earthly branches correspond to Nascent Soul.
No matter which rune formation, the level of attainment is obvious, basically following the rule from low to high, from shallow to deep, so it can be summarized into six stages.
"For example, it takes divine consciousness to operate the formation. If you want the formation to operate automatically, the power of the soul must be strong. This is the first foundation."
If you are not a formation master, even if you have a high level of cultivation, you may not understand it, and the experience is not good.
Like the real people in the past, they all used magic power to isolate their real bodies to prevent their own hearts from harming the souls of others.
The date of the conference was set, and it was set on March 1st when Gu Luosheng was 160 years old.
"So, the world of immortal cultivation gradually developed specific rune formations such as the Zhoutian Formation, the Xingdou Formation, the Tiangang Formation, and the Disha Formation. One of the purposes of this exchange meeting is to improve the Disha Formation and the Tiangang Formation."
Gu Luosheng prepared to hold it every twenty or thirty years, turning the formation conference into a fixed event.
Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult for cultivators to master formations that do not match their own realm.
The sixth level of the formation, the realm of complete perfection, should be able to realize the automatic operation of the formation, which is what Gu Luosheng accidentally accomplished. At that moment, he stepped into the sixth level of the Xingdou Formation.
The five elements, four images, three talents, yin and yang, and Hunyuan Tai Chi above each have their own peculiarities, but it is also difficult to correspond to the realm.
Perhaps an immortal can reverse all this, but becoming an immortal is just a legend. Who has become an immortal? Who is his name?
If there is an immortal, his traces should be all over the world, not just a certain force or a certain religion.
The whole audience applauded.
If he had not practiced at all, it would not be impossible for him to step into the late stage of the golden elixir at this moment.
Helan said.
The Red Sky Formation, a defensive formation, is generally used to establish a barrier. It has the prototype of various effects, such as establishing a bond to enhance the soul, adjusting and suppressing the luck. It can be said to be the beginning of everything, the starting point of all things, and it is an absolutely unavoidable starting formation.
This preliminary outline just happened to involve the part of the automatic operation of the formation, and Gu Luosheng's doubts were answered.
The entire cultivation world may not have millions of people, so the inheritance of sword cultivation was naturally cut off and never appeared in Wanhua Lingcheng.
Therefore, in a large number of discussions, the voice of sorting out teaching materials still accounted for the majority.
After Gu Luosheng nodded, everyone began to discuss how to adjust.
In other words,
Gu Luosheng finally understood what happened to him after hearing this. After a hundred years of research, he had entered the sixth realm of formation.
The remaining traces were all the achievements of ancient formation masters, which were excavated from various secret realms!
Although there were only 108 seats, it was not full. There were still relatively few fourth-level formation masters in the family.
"It's not necessary. Formation is a knowledge that respects individual will. Memorizing it by rote is not feasible. If you can't learn it, just giving up is the right choice. Otherwise, even if you learn later, it will be a waste of time. There will be no achievements and no setbacks. No, how can you develop a strong will?" Helan was the first to object, he was not interested in teaching idiots.
Gu Luosheng knew that this was the monk's respect for the immortal gods.
Dean Qiu said.
Without talent and opportunity, even if you become a god, you will not be able to learn it, and it will be difficult to use your realm to overcome the difficulty.
"The power of three days is the cornerstone of the formation. It is similar to the structure. The runes can only take effect if they are arranged according to the three-day structure. The more consistent it is, the greater the power. No one can escape from this framework. They can only study the runes and add more runes." The power of Wen will also increase the power of the Three-Day Formation."
However, in order to make his theory more intuitive, the master always demonstrates it personally so that he can directly see the difference, and even conducts battle deductions.
But sword cultivation in the world of immortality is a true integration of human and sword. It requires that the body and soul are integrated into the sword body, and can be separated without damage in the end. This process obviously goes beyond the objective basis of martial arts.
This question silences many masters.
"Everyone, the purpose of the formation conference is to communicate and answer questions, and there are no restrictions. Even beginners are not refused entry. There should be many people who don't understand the formation, so I will tell you part of the formation. Basics, hope it helps.”
The opening of the Formation Conference was the elaboration of the basic principles.
The above is just a process from low to high, from unfamiliar to familiar. It does not touch on the principle of formation, and it is too superficial.
Of course, in order to avoid too much confusion, you must master at least one small formation in order to be qualified to speak.
However, the fewer the runes, the more difficult they are to use and the more counter-intuitive the way to express power.
"The second foundation is that you must be extremely proficient in formations, and reach the level where you can deploy formations as soon as you think about it, which is the fifth level."
"As we all know, formations are techniques that draw on the power of heaven and earth, so formations are generally divided into red sky, blue sky, and black sky, which represent the beginning, growth, and end. This is a truth that we cannot avoid no matter what..."
Bagua corresponds to the transformation of gods.
…
Weekly days correspond to Qi training.
"Self-theory? I see. It seems that with the addition of skills, I have accumulated experience beyond common sense. It is the accumulation and collision of knowledge that gave birth to a theory that fits my subconscious. This makes my soul dizzy and needs a period of time. Time to adapt!”
Ming Hongjun said with a smile.
Only when you understand the essence of the runes and can deploy the formation even without formation flags and talismans can you be considered to have achieved success in the formation.
This title seems to be as simple as the combination of man and sword among mortal warriors.
Inferring future possibilities based on existing experience is an ability that all monks must have.
In just a few minutes, everyone completed their brainstorming and came up with a preliminary rough idea.
The Xuantian Formation and the Killing Formation are generally born entirely for the purpose of killing enemies, or rituals of sacrificing and plundering. They are completely extreme and come to an end, making a kind of power complete, or even completely perfect.
Gu Luosheng still asked this question. Although he was the only one present who had come into contact with this realm, he still looked forward to it.
The more talents there are, the greater their choices will be.
Only when one can instantly integrate the heaven and earth without using any auxiliary tools, relying only on the understanding of formations, unfolding formations and activating mysteries, can one be considered to have achieved great success in the formation and reached the fifth level.
Gu Luosheng suddenly realized.
Speculations, theories, these may not be able to give a glimpse into the secrets of the sixth realm.
Dean Qiu then added.
Next, a large number of formation masters explained the details of the formation from the shallower to the deeper. This part is very complicated and difficult to understand.
The Earth Evil Tiangang corresponds to the elixir formation.
As the organizer of this formation conference, Gu Luosheng stood up and spoke:
Gu Luosheng briefly mentioned some principles and then ended his speech.
This violent collision is not only exciting, but also leads to unexpected discoveries from time to time.
First level, entry level, learns how to set up formations and can complete the layout of formations. At this stage, you can initially control the formations, but it is difficult to perform complex conversions and cannot activate the secrets of the formations. It is useless in actual combat, but you can perform basic operations. adjustment work.
Even if a cultivator wants to achieve this, it is extremely difficult. It only takes about a million people to achieve this.
"It's true that some souls and formations have all met the requirements, but they still can't step into the sixth level. This shows that some methods are needed to reduce the requirements, such as forming a set of self-theories that can greatly reduce the difficulty of operating the formations and perfectly fit one's own body. , soul, mana.”
"So, how to enter the sixth realm?"
"In the past, only the formation masters could refine magic weapons, and they could only refine one piece in their lifetime. They cherished it to the extreme. It was not until the birth of the golden elixir refining method that the conditions for refining magic weapons were lowered, but it still required real-life monks to nurture them for hundreds of years. To be born!”
If you are just here to listen, it doesn't matter. If you don't understand, just treat it as gaining knowledge.
The fifth level is the highest level under common sense. There are only a few masters of Sudie, only Ming Hongjun and Dean Qiu.
The same goes for using one's body to form a formation. In the records of Wanhualing City, basically no one has entered this realm.
They would not say that there were only two fifth-level formation masters, so there was no need to discuss the sixth level, and they began to think seriously.
"The essence of the formation is nothing more than using runes to influence the power of heaven and earth. If you want the formation to operate on its own, there are necessary basic conditions."
"The three types are combined with each other to create various formations throughout the ages. Most of the formations rely on the power of multiple three days."
Blue Sky Formation, Trap Formation, is generally established as an illusion formation, trapping formation, or to adjust the spiritual veins to trap the continuously leaking spiritual energy. It is an formation method that perfects a kind of power and makes a certain concept clear. It is a growing formation. Formation.
Put your body together!
To put it simply, the above three stages only know how to use the formation, but do not understand the core "runes" of the formation.
This is a realm that only exists in legends.
Therefore, the formation masters of Wanhualing City did not include this realm in the six realms, but replaced it with a realm that is less difficult but has been achieved by some people.
So far, there is no clear legend of immortals and gods in Wanhualing City, which is terrifyingly blank.
"Not to mention these, the secret of the formation is undoubtedly the self-operation of the formation. This means that the formation master can maintain the operation of the formation with only subconscious impressions, and has reached the state of integrating the formation with the body, which is very amazing! "
This is a circular venue. The central discussion platform is located at the lowest point of the venue, and there are 108 seats surrounding it.
Because there may really be immortals and gods in this world, and if you fabricate them out of thin air, big problems are very likely to occur!
Third level, proficiency level. The formation runes are carved into the bone marrow, and they are familiar with it. They can activate the formation instantly and perfectly mobilize the spiritual power in the formation. At this stage, they have thoroughly understood the use of a formation and have reached the level of skill. peak.
"It is said that the existence of the magic weapon is the result of the sixth-level array master integrating his understanding of the array into the technology of refining the weapon."
This is a realm that no one has entered in the six thousand years of Wanhualing City. It naturally represents a lot of luck, so he instantly entered the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Gu Luosheng and Ming Hongjun, two masters of the Formation Dao, acted as hosts, sitting in the center position, and were watched by countless eyes.
Mr. Minghong talked eloquently.
Whether it is spells, exercises or formations, many things need to be deduced by oneself. Many of the paths to practice have not been traveled by others.
A large number of tribesmen who were interested in the battle method poured into the open-air venue and took their seats, excitedly waiting for the opening of the conference.
However, he did not step in completely, but only half and half, with the slightest opportunity.
As the discussion reached the middle stage, Dean Qiu suddenly raised a question: "You have rich experience and can easily solve various problems, but the problem is that the difficulty is very different, and the system is very confusing and not clear enough. If you are a beginner, , how to master the formation from the shallower to the deeper? I think the family’s formation knowledge is rough, it’s time to make adjustments!”
As the only real person who studied crazily and accumulated countless knowledge, his knowledge already contained weight and changed him unknowingly.
Just like the golden elixir stage, the golden elixir needs to integrate mana, body, and soul. The soul in it keeps releasing information, turning the spiritual consciousness that was originally difficult to have weight into a spiritual thought with weight, and affecting all people indiscriminately. Observers do the same.
Massive knowledge also has weight. This is extraordinary knowledge. When scattered, it does not show its power. But as it gathers, even the soul of Gu Luosheng, the golden elixir master, feels the weight, and something has been changed.
This is where he was able to subconsciously use automatic formations. (End of chapter)
