"You cannot fathom the mysteries within. Just trust me."
Xu Chuan said with a faint smile.
Xu Mingxian nodded slightly, then returned to his room.
After shutting the door and activating the restrictions, he began studying Introduction to Formation Path and Detailed Guide to Black Truth Formations.
The former recorded some introductory knowledge of the formation path, including what it was, how to lay formations, and the differences between restrictions and formations.
Xu Mingxian also skimmed through the latter.
It turned out to contain the formation insights of a man from Great Wei named Daoist Black Truth.
[I cultivated for a hundred years, yet my natural gifts were lacking. Thus, I devoted my life to studying the formation path, wandering far and wide. I once sought shelter under aristocratic clans, laying formations for them, and later served as an Immortal Official of Great Wei, forever striving and toiling.
The years flowed on. After a century, enlightenment suddenly dawned upon me, and I retired into the mountains and forests. I leave this text to the world, hoping that those who study it after me may learn from it.]
The text was not long. Most of it consisted of insights into various types of formations and commentary on rare grand formations. Only at the end did it present several formations he had researched and improved.
Among them was the Spirit-Gathering Formation.
There were also three others: the Cloud and Mist Grand Formation, the Water-Fire Flood Dragon Grand Formation, and the Earthly Defense Grand Formation.
Father really does have his ways. Introduction to Formation Path might be commonplace, but this Detailed Guide to Black Truth Formations must be quite valuable—a treasured formation text of the Zhou Household.
If they weren't trying to win Father over, they certainly wouldn't have brought it out.
