Jiang Liu returned to the palace and went to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, where he sat cross-legged in meditation.
After a period of meditation, he picked up an iron plate and began to examine it carefully.
Although forging these iron plates didn't consume much mental energy, it's still best to maintain the best mental state when inscribing the formation.
Just like last night, he tried it casually.
As a result, he ended up consuming too much of his mental energy.
Moreover, last night was the first time I drew the formation, so I seemed quite unfamiliar with it and didn't know how to control my strength.
Furthermore, because there is no medium, it gives the impression of being scribbled randomly.
Even Jiang Liu himself sometimes feels a bit lost.
Using ordinary materials to inscribe formations now requires careful consideration.
Inscribing arrays on metal materials is not something that can be done haphazardly; it is best to inscribe them along the metal's grain.
This is the only way to fully utilize the advantages of the materials and achieve the best effect of the formation.
After a while, a small knife Illusory Transformation in Jiang Liu's hand, and he focused his mind on the iron plate.
Then, following the lines of the Entrapment Formation, Jiang Liu began to carve on the iron plate.
Gradually, the iron plate, which had initially emitted a faint glow, slowly dimmed.
Just as the light was about to dim completely, suddenly, the light shone brightly, followed by a "crack!" as the iron plate shattered.
Jiang Liu's hard work in carving was completely destroyed in an instant.
However, Jiang Liu did not appear discouraged at all.
He had just shrunk the Entrapment Formation by countless times according to the scale, intending to inscribe it into the iron plate.
This was his first attempt, and he was already mentally prepared for failure.
Jiang Liu thought about why he had failed earlier and realized that things had gone quite smoothly at the beginning.
However, when it came time to connect the beginning and end, a significant error was discovered.
So in that instant, everything that had been done before was wasted, and all the lines suddenly became a mess.
Jiang Liu knew that this was not a matter of a small error, but rather that the calculation had been wrong from the very beginning.
Jiang Liu picked up another iron plate and observed it for a long time before starting to carve it.
This time, the entire metal plaque was destroyed when it was only halfway through being marked.
It turned out that when Jiang Liu was carving, he didn't control his energy well, causing an energy shock that destroyed the entire iron plate.
Jiang Liu picked up another iron plate, held it in his palm, closed his eyes, and slowly probed it with his vital energy, carefully sensing its properties.
A long time passed before Jiang Liu opened his eyes, holding a small knife in his hand, and began to carve rapidly.
This time, it was done in one go, without stopping in the middle of the Jiang Liu, and the iron plate remained An Ran until the very end.
Only after Jiang Liu had completely inscribed the entire Entrapment Formation into the iron plate did he withdraw his Yuan Qi from the plate.
However, just as Jiang Liu withdrew his vital energy from the iron plate, "Crack!" the iron plate cracked again in an instant, and the Entrapment Formation also failed.
Jiang Liu picked up the cracked iron plate and examined it carefully.
It was discovered that the plate was made of iron, which was not strong enough to withstand the power of the Entrapment Formation, which is why it cracked.
Now, Jiang Liu was out of options.
Unless a sturdy formation is added to this iron plaque, it will be able to withstand the pressure of the Entrapment Formation.
However, there's no need to do that now, unless it's a precious material.
It has now been proven that the Entrapment Formation can be shrunk down and then inscribed into the iron plate, but the material of the iron plate cannot support it.
So, you could say he has already completed the first step.
The Entrapment Formation has been scaled down and simplified, and can now be engraved on ordinary materials.
Next, I need to fully master the steps of inscribing the Entrapment Formation.
Only then can the engraving be done in one go, without any pauses, on the Saint Grade material.
After all, Saint Grade materials are rare and cannot be wasted easily.
There is still an important question that needs to be clarified.
That is, can the inscribed formation trap one's vital energy and spiritual power in a certain space or on a certain object?
We need to test this thoroughly, otherwise, once the materials are crafted...
If these requirements cannot be met, then it is a complete waste of materials, time and effort.
However, learning how to inscribe the Entrapment Formation is by no means a waste of time and energy.
Later, he could try giving his woman small ornaments engraved with the Entrapment Formation to wear.
This way, they can be useful when they are not by their side and the other side encounters a powerful enemy.
After that, Jiang Liu did not inscribe the Trapping Entrapment Formation on the iron plate again.
Since we know that the iron plate is made of a material that cannot withstand the Entrapment Formation, there is no need to waste any more time.
Now he just needs to master the Entrapment Formation completely before he can become proficient.
It can inscribe a complete Entrapment Formation in the shortest amount of time.
Jiang Liu looked at the air in front of him, imagining the shape and size of a token. He used his Yuan Qi to condense the material directly in the air and then used it to draw the Entrapment Formation.
At first, Jiang Liu seemed quite uncomfortable.
Last night, he drew the formation in mid-air because he was drawing it according to the original requirements for the size of the formation.
That's why he was able to complete the drawing so quickly.
But now it's different; it's been scaled down countless times.
Although the engraving on the iron plate was successful just now, it doesn't mean that it can be successful immediately, since the materials are completely different now.
Fortunately, as he practiced drawing more times, he finally regained the feeling he had when he was inscribing the array on the iron plate.
The depiction of the formations in the later stages became increasingly smooth and natural.
Jiang Liu did not notice that while he was concentrating on drawing the formation,
As he drew more and more small-scale Entrapment Formation, a faint glow emanated from his body, making him appear extremely majestic.
Moreover, his aura was gradually fading away.
This isn't his mental power at work.
If you look closely, you'll find that this is the Entrapment Formation he drew, and it's in effect.
In fact, Jiang Liu did not know that by describing the formation in this way, he had captured the essence of setting up the Entrapment Formation.
The most perfect Entrapment Formation is not a single formation; the best one is composed of countless smaller formations.
Only in this way can the Entrapment Formation unleash its full power.
This is in accordance with the principles of the Entrapment Formation.
Every formation has its own underlying principles.
Only by finding its way can the power of the formation be maximized.
The essence of the Entrapment Formation lies in combining the power of formations.
However, the principles of the Entrapment Formation are not so simple.
It also requires perfect connections between each formation to be effective.
