An Enforcement Hall disciple with some knowledge of formation arts could not help asking, "Is there a difference between the two?"
Su Jiu nodded. "A vast difference. A linked formation is made of interlocking rings. Unless you use a special method, it is very difficult to pull them apart. Joined Formation Arts, on the other hand, forcibly glue matching sections of formation patterns together, like two rings stuck to each other.
"The former is sturdy, while the latter falls apart easily. If one formation in the former is damaged, the others can still function normally. With the latter, destroying one destroys them all. That is why any formation arts artist with a little ability will choose the former rather than the latter when setting up formations."
"So as long as the junction point is damaged, all the formations joined together will develop problems?"
Su Jiu nodded, then a trace of uncertainty appeared on her face. "There is also another issue I nearly overlooked just now..."
Everyone from the Enforcement Hall turned to look at her. Xia Jue said, "Junior Sister, please go ahead."
"The flow of spiritual qi at these three entrances is very strange..."
After hearing Su Jiu's words, Yun Huanling was the first to sense the flow of spiritual qi at the junctions...
"It really is strange. Why is the spiritual qi flowing in exactly the same direction at all these junction points?"
Su Jiu lowered her eyes slightly and analyzed in a quiet voice, "Generally, there are only two possible explanations for this. The person who laid these formations failed to balance them, leaving them top-heavy and causing the spiritual qi to flow in the same direction. Formations like that are extremely fragile. The slightest mishap could cause them to collapse."
