Modern Craftsmanship for Rapid Formation Building
Each Technique Method and Divine Ability has its own profound mysteries.
Zhang Xuezhou's Divine Ability abilities stemmed from the Grain Avoidance Instruction him to reach a state of near-immortality. This allowed him Grain Avoidance Technique surpass the level of other Technique Method, thus guiding his Divine Ability abilities in another world.
In reality, he chose the Poison Avoidance Technique to enter the Divine Ability Realm, which was related to his excessive intake of ferocious beast extracts at the time.
It is difficult for cultivators to choose a specific technique when they enter the Divine Ability, but upon careful consideration, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there were indeed traceable clues to Divine Ability powers.
The cultivators in the other world are not mediocre people. The reason why they generally believe that Divine Ability powers are relatively random may be related to the fact that the disputes between schools of thought make it difficult to concentrate on research, or it may be related to the cultivators' growth experience, or it may be that some confidential information is held by the lords of some Sacred Land and is not announced to the outside world. It may also be influenced by the concept of 'fate' that cultivators believe in. There may also be the influence of subtle mental manipulation.
Ren Anran made it sound simple, but Zhang Xuezhou felt that very few people could meet Ren Anran's conditions, even though Zhang Xuezhou himself faced difficulties.
He also joined the ranks of those observing Ren Anran's entry into the Divine Ability Realm.
The tomb chamber of Emperor Luo Taizong is a natural and ready-made place for Daoist practice. The eerie feeling of ancient tombs has been eliminated and lighting has been installed. It is more like a beautiful underground landscape.
A magnificent place doesn't need much preparation; the formation itself relies nine-tenths on the heavens and the remaining one-tenth on human effort.
The arrangement of the formation involves formation components, formation stones, and divination stones, which are linked together through various arrangements. This underground space is a natural place for formation stones and divination stones. All that is needed is to inscribe the formation's inscriptions and then use Law Power to guide it, and the Spiritual Qi will gather like rainwater flowing into a channel, thus condensing in this palace area.
"Doesn't this Spirit Gathering Formation you mentioned need to be more precise?"
Ren Yisheng looked at the sketch drawn by Zhang Xuezhou and compared it with his own from time to time.
Zhang Xuezhou believes that array inscriptions are science cloaked in metaphysics, and their utilization methods are no different from energy sources, such as electricity and geothermal energy.
Ren Yisheng, on the other hand, had not yet broken through his cognitive concepts. He felt that since Realm Technique were so complex and troublesome, formations that utilized Spiritual Qi could not possibly be too simple.
But watching Zhang Xuezhou direct everyone to use electric picks to construct according to the sketches, he felt that the complex and mysterious filter related to the Realm Technique shattered completely.
"Formations should form naturally; adding too much is superfluous!"
Zhang Xuezhou responded with a smile.
However, a sudden thought struck him. When he thought of the two perplexing formations in the other world, Zhang Xuezhou realized that he might have overestimated the master of the secret realm and the formation masters of the Emperor Qin.
The complex array he imagined was probably also built by a makeshift team, and it relied more on the mysteries of heaven and earth, which is why he could not solve it repeatedly.
"Perhaps using the ritual vessel as a guide will reveal the core of the formation within the secret realm of Shanglin Garden!"
"What did you say?"
Zhang Xuezhou muttered it to himself, while Ren Yisheng expressed his confusion and asked another question.
"It's nothing, I just said our project is almost finished!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the layers of jade fragments that had been peeled away.
Electric picks are easy to use, and it's not difficult to carry out construction work according to the design after carving on the jade wall and the ground.
Chisel marks, some horizontal, some vertical, and some curved, kept appearing. To ordinary people, these chisel marks were extremely complex, but to people with advanced knowledge, these patterns were not considered complicated.
Even the Spirit Gathering Formation designed by Zhang Xuezhou did not require mathematicians to perform calculations, unlike the inscriptions of the Tuer people.
While Ren Yisheng still had some doubts, he saw Zhang Xuezhou point his hand in the central area where the Qin Meng Secret Stone was placed, and the purple aura of magic Law Power immediately spread along the line from the starting point like water flowing through a channel.
The cycle repeated endlessly, and this purple, misty Law Power began to permeate the entire palace, eventually transforming into a purple cage that enveloped everything around it.
The jade wall sealing off this palace was constructed recently. The jade wall and the door are not a single piece; there are gaps between them. Even the jade door is open, yet the purple cage still envelops it.
"There must be gaps in the formation, thus giving users the ability to enter, exit, and utilize it!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed, and an empty space appeared in the jade gate of the purple cage, but the Law Power he was circulating within it continued to flow slowly without being interrupted.
"As long as you possess these Law Power imbued tokens, you can enjoy the Spiritual Qi absorbed by this jade wall of the palace!"
Zhang Xuezhou took some of the chiseled jade pieces and used them as tokens, then handed them over to the group.
"So... in your opinion, this is equivalent to a door key?" Ren Yisheng asked.
"It's like the switch for this formation," Zhang Xuezhou said. "When the token is on your person, it can absorb Spiritual Qi; when it's removed from your body, it can't draw the Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Gathering Formation. This controllability can avoid some risks!"
"Brilliant!" Wang Haoran exclaimed. "So, from now on, we only need to find the Qin Meng Secret Stones, and then we can store them like hamsters, using them whenever we need them, and even expanding the number of people involved!"
"That's not wrong. After all, there's a limit to the improvement of cultivation realm. Even if you're immersed in Spiritual Qi all day, it's difficult to make progress. That's why you can travel around looking for Qin Meng Secret Stones," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "What I want to remind everyone is that the demand is very low in the early stages of cultivation, but it increases exponentially as you reach higher Realm Technique. Even though this Qin Meng Secret Stone weighs two tons, the Spiritual Qi it contains can only supply enough for one cultivator in the Sole Self Realm to break through to the True Self!"
"We need this much!"
Wang Haoran gasped.
The Qinmeng Secret Stone that Zhang Xuezhou and the others brought back was larger than any they had seen before, but the Qinmeng Secret Stone, which could trigger a small-scale beast tide, could only supply one cultivator. This clearly meant that the cultivator's resource needs in the later stages were enormous, and this demand far exceeded their expectations.
Clearly, the requirement for extracts from ferocious beasts is no different from the requirement for Gene Sequence. The requirement for cultivation to a certain level far exceeds that of the early stages, and may even be difficult for most cultivators to obtain.
"Wow, does that mean we'll have to transport hundreds of tons of Qin Meng secret stones back from Qin Meng?" Qin Wenhan exclaimed in shock, "Does Qin Meng have that many secret stones?"
"The amount excavated here by Emperor Luo Taizong is far more than a few hundred tons, and Qin Meng's side must have taken no less," Song Bu'er said grimly. "I used to consider him a wise ruler, but now I wish I could spit on his bones!"
"No, every era has its limitations. Who knows, future generations might even criticize us," Zhu Liangping advised.
"An Ran, are you really going to be able to break through to the Divine Ability Realm this time?"
Li Yingbo stroked the jade token.
Compared to things in the future, Li Yingbo is more focused on the present.
If everything proves to be working, he will ask Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Burang for guidance, thus guiding the sequence lock he himself created.
