Volume 2: The Heaven-Opening Sword of Vast Intent Chapter 166: The Mysterious Formation

  "Mysterious Formation"

  "Mysterious Formation"

  Gong Lingyuan didn't wait for Feng Shisanlang to explain and said:

  "Linglong and Piaoxue, you two should first enter the Cold Pool and Hot Pool according to your own attributes. As long as you don't swim to the very center of the Wind Moon Pool, there shouldn't be too much trouble. After all, you can both rely on flying with the Fei Xuan Dou Ling now, and the rapid spiral flight of the Dou Ling can exclude the pool water."

  "I'll go set up multiple Spirit Gathering Arrays around the entire Fengyue Pool first. Feng Lang, do you want to learn array techniques? If you do, then follow me over. A high-level artifact refiner like yourself can't create good artifacts without knowing arrays. As for Linglong and Piaoxue, if you two are also interested in learning about arrays, then you can follow along as well."

  As for Feng Wuxiang and Feng Caiyi, Gong Lingyuan did not instruct them to do anything. Feng Wuxiang was a master of formations herself; as for Feng Caiyi, Gong Lingyuan couldn't control her either, so she simply ignored the two of them.

  When Gong Lingyuan said she would teach him the formation method, Feng Shisanlang immediately responded with a joyful cry, and Feng Shui Linglong and Beidong Piaoxue were also eagerly anticipating it.

  "Follow me and fly."

  Gong Lingyuan suddenly flew up from Feng Shisanlang's arm, and the others standing on her arm also followed suit. Even Feng Caiyi and Feng Wuxiang took to the air. Seeing this, Feng Shisanlang couldn't fall behind. Considering that maintaining his giant form would consume a huge amount of Dou Qi, and studying array formations was inconvenient with his large body, Feng Shisanlang shrunk back down to normal size and followed the silhouettes of the others, flying rapidly.

  It just so happened that the entire Fengyue Pool was naturally shaped like a Bagua Pool, so Gong Lingjuan saved a lot of effort in setting up the formation. She simply brought everyone to fly to each corner of the outermost eight trigrams of the Fengyue Pool, and then took out a magic crystal with different color attributes from the Spirit God Ring, and set them one by one in the eight corners of the Fengyue Pool.

  "In the midst of flight, Gong Lingyuan said to the three Array Birds: "Array is a means of integrating various special patterns and shapes to communicate with heaven and earth, condensing the energy between heaven and earth."

  The formation method is divided into Dou Qi formation, magic formation, and Dou Qi magic hybrid formation. They are collectively referred to as formation methods. In addition to the special formation type, some things with immense energy are needed to set up the formation feet, and most importantly, the formation eye. With them, the formation method can communicate with heaven and earth, producing all sorts of unbelievable effects.

  Things that are generally used to set up the formation base are called formation flags, but because formation flags also require the refining of a Refiner, some non-Refiners who set up formations can only choose between Heaven and Earth Spiritual Stones or Magic Crystals.

  The Heaven and Earth Spirit Stone is a stone that condenses a large amount of heaven and earth energy, the energy inside it has no distinction between Dou Qi and magic, as long as one is a cultivator, they can use it to recover their internal energy; however, due to the extreme rarity of Heaven and Earth Spirit Stones on the Demon Fighting Continent, many people who set up arrays can only choose to use relatively simpler and easier-to-obtain Magic Crystals to set up the array's foundation.

  The demon crystal can be obtained by hunting and killing demons of the fourth rank or higher, but seventh rank or lower. Because demons generally possess both internal energy and magic, the demon crystals that form within their bodies can also be used directly for cultivation, just like heaven and earth spirit stones.

  The Heaven and Earth Spirit Stones and the Magic Crystals both have varying degrees of strength in terms of the energy they contain, with no clear boundaries between them. Some Heaven and Earth Spirit Stones contain more powerful energy than some sixth-rank peak magic beasts' Magic Crystals.

  It's just because the Heaven and Earth Spirit Stones are too rare, so later on, the formation methods gradually evolved to use magic crystals for setup.

  After setting up the formation feet, it's time to set up the formation eye. The formation eye is the core of a formation, and if the formation eye is broken, the entire formation will be broken. Therefore, the formation eye is usually in a more hidden place inside the formation, and some are disguised as inconspicuous things, making it difficult for the breaker to break through.

  Having said the basic composition of the formation method, it is now time to classify the formation methods. The formation methods are divided into various types according to their different purposes, including the soul-gathering formation with a gathering effect, the attacking formation method with an attacking effect, the defensive formation method with a defensive effect, and the illusionary formation method with an illusionary effect...

  The methods of setting up these formations are different, but they all follow the principles of the five elements and eight trigrams, Qimen Dunjia. As long as you master the most basic Qimen Dunjia and practice diligently to set up various formations, you will become a formation master.

  "Now, the formation we are going to set up is the Spirit Gathering Formation. The Spirit Gathering Formation can gather both the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as well as magical elements; originally, the Spirit Gathering Formation was a ten-pointed star pattern, but since the current Wind Moon Pond naturally forms an eight trigrams shape, I will set up an eight trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation."

  After Gong Lingyuan finished speaking, she also took the crowd to fly to the eight corners of Fengyue Pool one after another, and set up the eight attribute and color different magic crystals there.

  After setting up the Ling array, Gong Lingyuan took them to the center of Fengyue Lake, where there was a clear and distinct arc line stretching for thousands of meters. Gong Lingyuan found two eight-trigram-shaped wind and moon whirlpools at both ends of the arc line, and set up another Taiji diagram with Taiji yin-yang eyes in each of them.

  These two points were also set with two magic crystals by Gong Lingyuan, becoming the two array eyes of the entire giant Spirit Gathering Array.

  After setting all this, Gong Lingyuan flew to the very center of Fengyue Pool. Here, under the pool water, there are the eyes of the thousand-year-old ice spring and the eyes of the magma spring that spew out from the earth's core.

  After arriving here, Gong Lingyuan took out ten more magic crystals and set them up in the same formation as the large Jiling array, a smaller Bagua Jiling array.

  After doing all this, Gong Lingyuan immediately flew rapidly towards the sky, and Feng Shi Sanlang and others also followed closely behind, rushing up to the clouds; only when they had flown to an altitude of nearly a thousand meters did they stop flying, hovering in mid-air.

  Then Gong Lingyuan looked down at the Fengyue Pool, and with Gong Lingyuan's movement, Feng Shisanlang also began to look down at the entire Fengyue Pool. At an altitude of thousands of meters, the lovely beauties looked down together at the beautiful Fengyue Pool, not to mention how comfortable it was.

  After appreciating the beauty of Fengyue Lake from mid-air for a while, Gong Lingyuan suddenly reminded: "Feng Lang, next, every move I make, you all have to watch clearly; these moves are the most essential part of setting up the formation!"

  After finishing, Gong Lingyuan took out a magic crystal from the Spirit God Ring and let it float in the air, emitting soft energy. Then, she faced the eight array feet set up on the Wind Moon Pond below and began to dance with her right hand's slender index finger. As her white fingers moved, a burst of Dou Qi energy was released from her fingertips, and then she linked two array feet of the Wind Moon Pond with a stroke of her finger.
