For cultivators of different backgrounds to form a battle formation, the first requirement was for their qi auras to be linked.
Qi auras were invisible and intangible, and different for every person. Naturally, connecting them with one another was an extremely difficult matter.
Thus, many major sects specifically had a group of cultivators practice battle formations. Such people generally could not have poor aptitude—if it was too poor, their cultivation would be too low, and forming a battle formation would be useless. Yet their aptitude could not be too high either; cultivators with great aptitude would be better off cultivating alone and improving their cultivation rather than spending time practicing battle formations.
Generally speaking, such roles were filled by those who stood neither high nor low within their respective sects. Once they formed a battle formation, they could unleash strength beyond their own level, bolstering the Main Sect's foundation and power.
Within the Nine Provinces, battle formations were rarely seen at the frontline passes where the two great camps clashed, because casualties were frequent on the frontlines. After painstakingly practicing a formation, if losses occurred in a single great battle, all that previous practice would become meaningless.
Thus, though battle formations were highly useful, they often required a tremendous investment of manpower, effort, and time. As a result, not many cultivators in the Nine Provinces were willing to practice them.
But what if there were something in this world that allowed people to easily link their qi auras without prolonged practice, nor any deep reliance or trust between one another?
Then they could effortlessly form a battle formation and fend off enemies.
