The formation's aura was impressive, strong enough to trap an ordinary Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.
"The foundations are passable, and the placement of the formation eyes is rather clever."
Li Yunjing swept it with his divine sense and nodded slightly. "But you pursued variation and deception too much, neglecting the formation's stability and the concentration of its power."
"Look here, here, and here. The spiritual power doesn't flow smoothly enough. These are weak points-"
As he spoke, he flicked several fine streaks of lightning through the air, striking a few inconspicuous points in the formation with unerring precision.
Several soft pops sounded. The great formation Yan Yang had painstakingly laid out dimmed like a punctured bubble, its spiritual radiance fading until it vanished completely within a few breaths.
Yan Yang stared, dumbfounded and flushed with shame. "This disciple-this disciple understands his mistake."
"On the path of the Formation Dao, cunning variations are certainly important, but firm foundations and concentrated power are what matter most."
Li Yunjing's tone was stern. "With your restless temperament, you need all the more to quiet your mind and polish your foundations in this discipline."
"From now on, set aside two hours every day to practice tracing basic formation patterns and controlling spiritual power precisely."
"Yes! This disciple will obey your instructions, Master!"
Yan Yang solemnly accepted the lesson.
Afterward, Li Yunjing patiently answered the specific questions the two had encountered in their cultivation, one by one.
He spoke of the profound mysteries of the Nine Heavens Response Thunder Scripture and the deeper applications of the Law of Thunder, then moved from strengthening the foundations of the Formation Dao to merging formations with the momentum of heaven and earth-
His explanations made profound principles accessible and went straight to the essence of the Great Dao.
