Preparing to Practice Inscribing Formations
Although judging from the current situation, this formation should not be needed for the time being.
However, Jiang Liu always harbored a deep sense of vigilance towards those unknown enemies.
Jiang Liu already knows of three of the most powerful enemies on the entire continent.
The various branches of the Halls of Yama, the forces behind the Halls of Yama, and the Abyssal Hell.
Of course, there is also the most mysterious and unpredictable enemy: the Heavenly Dao.
Of these three enemies, only the first one is somewhat easier to deal with.
Jiang Liu had no idea what the Abyssal Hell and the Heavenly Dao were like, nor did he know their true strength.
I've had some dealings with the Heavenly Dao, but the Abyssal Hell only exists in legends.
Although the Abyssal Hell has not reappeared on the continent since the appearance of the Halls of Yama.
However, since the Abyssal Hell would cause the Halls of Yama to appear on the mainland, it means they must have some ulterior motive.
Moreover, the Abyssal Hell must have a way to reach the mainland.
For some unknown reason, they haven't invaded the mainland again for so long.
This is what Jiang Liu has been worried about ever since his spiritual power advanced to the Saint Realm.
At the same time, the existence of these unknown enemies created a strong sense of pressure for him.
It is precisely because of the existence of these enemies that Jiang Liu has been able to maintain his motivation to move forward.
Jiang Liu stood up, looking at the sky, a powerful aura emanating from him, as if he wanted to break free from the sky's confinement.
He wanted to see if there was another world beyond this sky.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Jiang Liu, Gongsun Haoyue and Feng Yue were startled and quickly retreated to avoid being accidentally injured by Jiang Liu.
After a while, Jiang Liu's aura dissipated, and his presence was once again concealed.
He looked quite ordinary, like a regular person.
With a thought, a deep blue light screen appeared before Jiang Liu's eyes.
Name: Jiang Liu
Realm: Grandmaster (Peak Grandmaster)
Holy Sea: Saint Realm
Divine Sense: 30.20 kilometers (Characteristic: Devour)
Alchemy (Minor Success 25/500)
Medical Skills (Mastery 38/5000)
Weapon crafting (Minor success 162/500)
Formation (Beginner 16/80)
Cultivation Technique: Spirit Control Art (Saint Grade, Unlearned, 42/1200)
Annihilation by Thought (Heaven Grade, Peak Rank)
Saintly Sky Art (Saint Grade Mastery) Holy Skill: Saintly Sky Strike
Nebula Art (Saint Grade Mastery) Saint Skill: Nebula Extinction
Jiang Liu looked at the proficiency level of the formation and sighed inwardly.
He had already imagined how difficult this formation would be to master, but he never expected it to be even more difficult than medical skills.
However, it is still somewhat easier than advancing to the next level of Yuan Qi.
With diligent practice, one should eventually be able to arrange formations with a simple pinch or draw.
At that time, even if he encounters a more powerful enemy, he will be unable to withstand the attack and will suffer a crushing defeat.
To perfectly set up the Entrapment Formation, the best materials to use are of the Saint Grade.
The simple Entrapment Formation that Jiang Liu has set up around himself uses materials Illusory Transformation from primordial energy, so it cannot last long and will dissipate automatically after a while.
Therefore, if we want it to exist for a long time, we still need to refine the Saint Grade materials and use them as array materials.
For now, let's not think about anything else; let's familiarize ourselves with this formation first.
Alternatively, we could try engraving the Entrapment Formation on ordinary materials to see if it can withstand the pressure.
It seems I'll still need to go to the Forging Division tomorrow to refine some common materials to test my skills.
After thinking it over, Jiang Liu closed the "Array Compendium" and immediately felt a deep sense of fatigue creeping into his Divine Sense sea.
They immediately prepared to go and rest.
But he found that Gongsun Haoyue and Feng Yue had moved away from him and were watching from a distance.
Jiang Liu was immediately puzzled, but he didn't think about it too much because the Entrapment Formation he had just set up had begun to dissipate.
The surrounding energy has also returned to normal.
In terms of time, it certainly won't last long.
However, if it can be set up instantly, then this formation will be extremely useful.
However, Jiang Liu no longer wanted to pay attention to these things. After all, this required a long period of practice, so there was no need to rush it.
Once I max out my proficiency in formations, setting up these simple formations will be a piece of cake.
Jiang Liu was already quite tired today and didn't want to move anymore, not even thinking about cultivation.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu went into his bedchamber alone to prepare for the night.
Gongsun Haoyue and Feng Yue, who were standing to the side, were greatly surprised. This cultivation fanatic was actually resting so early?
"Has something happened to him?" Gongsun Haoyue and Feng Yue wondered.
Both of them couldn't understand what was going on, so they hurriedly went to find Murong Yin.
After hearing this, Murong Yin thought about how Jiang Liu must have spent a lot of energy He Yuan refining Saint Grade materials today.
That's why he felt so tired that he didn't even want to do his favorite kind of cultivation anymore.
After hearing this, Murong Yin quickly put down the dossier in his hand, got up and walked towards the palace.
Gongsun Haoyue and Feng Yue also quickly followed.
The following morning, after a night's rest, Jiang Liu looked refreshed and energetic again.
Jiang Liu stretched and looked around, only to find that no one was there anymore.
He then got up, ate the breakfast served by Cuier and Xiao He, and strolled out of the palace gate, heading towards the Forging Division outside the palace.
Upon arriving at the Forging Division, Jiang Liu dismissed the head of the Forging Division and found a smelting furnace in a corner. He then instructed the apprentices standing nearby to light the furnace.
The apprentices skillfully started lighting the fire and heating it up, immediately getting busy.
Once the temperature rose, Jiang Liu casually picked up a piece of ordinary iron material and threw it directly into the furnace.
After a while, the molten iron began to flow out. Jiang Liu picked up the iron plate mold that he had prepared earlier and started to catch it.
Several small iron plate molds were used to receive the molten iron, and after they cooled down, they were hammered one by one.
Jiang Liu planned to use these iron plates to see if he could practice inscribing formations.
As the Jiang Liu struck the iron plaques, they gradually revealed their true iron nature and quickly became pure.
Iron plates made in this way are relatively soft and unsuitable for forging weapons. Only by adding other metals to neutralize them can they be used to forge weapons.
However, it's perfect for practicing inscribing formations.
I wonder if it's possible to inscribe the formation on such a small iron plate.
Jiang Liu then disregarded everything else, and with a swift movement, left the Forging Division and returned to the palace to practice inscribing formations.
After Jiang Liu left, the apprentices who had been helping Jiang Liu earlier, as well as the blacksmith masters in the distance, all stared at Jiang Liu's retreating figure with astonishment.
They hadn't expected that their Holy Lord was not only a highly skilled martial artist, but also possessed such exquisite forging techniques.
Those few iron plaques he just casually made, they couldn't possibly make them themselves.
I've never even heard of it.
Because they had never seen anyone forge ordinary materials into something so pure.
