Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 106 The Difficulty of Formation

In the Golden Bead World, Lu Chen sat cross-legged under the bitter bamboo. The breath emitted by the bitter bamboo could help Lu Chen concentrate and calm his mind quickly.

It can also help him to gain a clear mind and better comprehend the art of formations.

Lu Chen injected his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, and the first page was four big characters: "Illustrated Guide of Ten Thousand Formations".

A quick look revealed the densely packed text that seemed to have no end. After a few breaths, Lu Chen felt his scalp tingling. The contents were really numerous and obscure.

Lu Chen smiled bitterly and began to practice the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue to comprehend the contents.

"The Illustrated Book of Ten Thousand Formations" not only contains the basic theoretical knowledge and principles of arranging formations, but also the names, functions, arrangement methods and materials needed to refine formation flags of more than 10,000 formations.

There are large sections with both pictures and texts, which introduce countless materials in detail.

What’s interesting is that Lu Chen discovered that the large piece of purple bamboo he had cut down in Zizhu Mountain because he liked it turned out to be the top-quality material for refining formation flags.

The materials for refining formation flags are divided into: spiritual level, top level, fairy level, and god level, and each level is divided into grades one to nine.

And those purple bamboos were actually top-grade sixth-grade materials, which were rare. Lu Chen wanted to go back and cut down all the purple bamboos.

"Fortunately, I cut down a large area at the beginning, otherwise I would have suffered a huge loss." Lu Chen thought to himself.

With the operation of the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue and the effect of the bitter bamboo, Lu Chen gradually gained his own understanding of the originally obscure content.

I still remember when I was in the illusion array and listened to Zhao Wuji talking about the art of array formation, Lu Chen felt like he was listening to a heavenly book, and he even used his own feeling of learning geometry as an analogy.

However, when Lu Chen used the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue to gain a deeper understanding of the art of formation, Lu Chen felt that the original analogy was a little inappropriate.

The art of formations is much more difficult than geometry, and it would be more appropriate to use advanced mathematics as a metaphor, especially since some formations are as complex as arcane magic, with densely packed runes that are dazzling at first glance.

To put it in a more complicated way, the way of formation is that all things in the world are mutually generated and restrained, yin and yang and the five elements are reversed, instruments are real, and qi is empty. The world is infinite, and the formation is ever-changing.

The universe is so magnificent and vast that it can control the stars.

A tiny, controllable speck of dust, barely perceptible...

To put it simply, using a certain material as a medium, the energy in the aura and the energy in the material can be arranged and combined in various reasonable ways to exert greater power and effect.

For example, you use the same formation flags to set up a defensive formation, but if the formation master just changes the position of the formation flags, your defensive formation will become an offensive formation.

On a larger scale, the formation can control all the stars in the universe; on a smaller scale, the formation can control particles of dust.

When Lu Chen was desperately learning the art of formation under the bitter bamboo.

In front of a small hill where the Endless Forest borders Zangxi Prefecture, Yang Yunfei, Zhao Chengzhi, Qi Yutang, Zhang Haoyang, and Wang Jingxuan gathered here, each of them with a heavy expression on their face.

Qi Yutang was seen making seals with his hands and muttering something. Then he pointed his finger and a golden light shot towards the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

After the dust settled, a one-meter square pit appeared on the ground.

Zhao Chengzhi bought a monk's robe, folded it neatly and put it in the pit, then nodded to Qi Yutang.

Qi Yutang used magic again to fill the pit and then built a grave.

A pre-prepared stone tablet was placed in place, on which were hollowed-out carvings of six large characters: "The Tomb of the Casual Cultivator Lu Chen."

After doing these things, the few people mourned for a while and then began to go their separate ways.

Wang Jingxuan and Zhang Haoyang naturally returned to Longquan City in Ducheng Prefecture, while Yang Yunfei and others returned to Shun'an City in Qujing Prefecture.

For them, the journey to the Endless Forest was basically over.

But then a very serious problem arose that gave Yang Yunfei a headache.

"Haha...Brother Yunfei! What are you thinking about? So absent-minded? We have already arrived in Shun'an City." Zhao Chengzhi patted Yang Yunfei's shoulder and said with a smile.

Several people took the teleportation array to the teleportation hall of Shunan City, but Yang Yunfei stood there in a daze with a strange expression. Qi Yutang also stared at Yang Yunfei in confusion.

"Miss Zixuan is still working in our Danlou. Now that Lu Chen has left, how should I tell her about this?" Yang Yunfei frowned slightly and said in embarrassment.

"Ah? This... this is indeed a problem. Why don't you not meet her for now and delay it for a while." Zhao Chengzhi also felt very embarrassed when he heard this.

"I think it's better to tell Miss Zixuan directly. He will know about this matter sooner or later. Instead of hiding it, it's better to say it directly." Qi Yutang expressed his opinion.

"Hey... I'd better try to avoid her for now! Let's go!" Yang Yunfei sighed and walked out of the formation hall first.

"So do you want to celebrate tonight?" Qi Yutang shouted. They had said before that they would have a good get-together after returning and drink some spirit wine or something.

"Why are you still gathering here? Yang Yunfei is in no mood for this now. Let's go! Let's go home first." Zhao Chengzhi gave Qi Yutang a contemptuous look, then caught up with Yang Yunfei. Qi Yutang shook his head and followed him.

In the world of golden beads, Lu Chen was still immersed in the ocean of formation knowledge, his expression sometimes solemn, sometimes confused, and sometimes suddenly enlightened.

The "Illustrated Book of Ten Thousand Formations" records more than 10,000 formations with pictures and texts. It is impossible for Lu Chen to learn all the formation arrangements immediately.

At present, he focuses on learning basic theoretical knowledge, and then specializes in some formations related to formation signals.

Under the influence of the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, Lu Chen's formation level improved by leaps and bounds.

The formation signal tower is equivalent to a large signal transmitter, and the information jade plate is similar to a signal receiver, that is, a radar.

Of course, the signal receiver in the monk's hand is one-sided and receives signals.

Lu Chen remembered that there was a type of radar that could both receive signals unilaterally and transmit signals of different frequencies.

According to this idea, Lu Chen only needs to add some signal transmission arrays on the original basis.

With the help of the original receiving array device in the information jade card, it is possible to contact the array signal tower in reverse. Theoretically, this should be feasible.

Under the bitter bamboo, Lu Chen took out the information jade token of Master Lei, because Lu Chen could now see that the formation in the information jade token of the fusion-stage cultivator was much more complicated than his own information jade token.

Lu Chen used the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue to analyze the information jade token in his hand, and used his existing knowledge of formations to crack the formation.

Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would take out the "Ten Thousand Formations Illustrated Book" for reference.

The Chaos Dao Sheng Jue once again demonstrated its powerful function.

God helps those who work hard. With Lu Chen's continuous efforts, he finally got some clues. The next step is to refine the formation flags, try to change the formation in the information jade card, and send out signals to contact the formation signal tower.
