But since he could not understand it, the Demon Emperor decided to skip that step.
He used the same engraving stylus and the same method of engraving formations.
Soon, he discovered that the formation he had engraved was running perfectly.
They had clearly used the same method, yet the gap between their results was so vast.
Demon Emperor Daochen studied the formation before him closely. After a long period of thought, he realized that the problem probably still lay with the soul.
Learning formations was an extremely common practice in the Primordial World.
Virtually everyone learned some formations, whether for warfare, forging weapons, or other purposes.
Formations were always needed.
The Demon Emperor had assumed that everyone could use them simply because they knew the same engraving techniques.
Now it seemed that the reason people of the Primordial World could engrave formations so easily,
And make those formations run,
Was most likely that they possessed souls.
When someone concentrated completely on a task, their soul would enter a state of diffusion, and everything they did in that state would carry a trace of their soul's aura.
Under normal circumstances, however, that aura was extremely faint and could not have any effect.
No one could detect that slight difference.
In fact, the Demon Emperor had never noticed it before either. He had only discovered it because of the Mechanical Commander's unusual nature.
What if he had the Mechanical Commander engrave the formation while he infused it with his soul?
Once the thought occurred to him, he had to try it.
Without hesitation, the Demon Emperor summoned the Mechanical Commander and had him begin engraving a formation. This time, as the commander engraved, the Demon Emperor infused it with his soul.
The soul energy needed to engrave a formation was actually minuscule,
