Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 170: Intercepting the Formation

The other three were obviously hard of hearing and did not hear clearly what was said in the forest.

"What is he going to do?"

"It sounds like some kind of formation to me."

"What formation?"

Watching the movement in the forest, the three of them were filled with curiosity. "Can setting up a formation to cover up the previous formation block out the previous one?"

"Turtle, how big a formation would that take? Would it be enough in the middle of the night?"

"That's not right?" Hua Xiaodie scratched her head. "Why haven't I heard that setting up a larger formation can block the previous one?"

"What else?" Fairy Hongxia squatted on the side, watching the movements in the forest with a puzzled look on her face. "How can we break the formation they've set up? If I move a little, they'll know, right?"

"Shut up!" Haruyuki put his hands in his pockets. "Just watch me as I work. Watch carefully and learn from me. Got it?"

"Yes, yes."

The three of them squatted together and watched Brother Jian perform.

There was no time to look at anything else in the forest, and his eyes were only focused on the magic circle itself.

The small interception formation was quite simple to set up. Lin Jian took up his pen and drew the entire formation in one go.

Then fix it with various special basic magic array materials, and a simple interception magic array is completed.

"Is that all?" Seeing Lin Jian withdraw his hand so easily, the Imperial Master was dumbfounded. "Can we go in?"

"The magic circle is still there?" Fairy Hongxia took a step forward and sensed it.

The distinct threat in her spiritual sense told her that if she took one more step forward, she would surely alert the guardian of the formation.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

There was a golden light in Lin Jian's pupils as he carefully observed the flow of spiritual power inside the warning magic circle in front of him.

His own magic circle has indeed been set up, but it still needs to be intercepted... This is the most important part of this magic circle.

The operation of the magic circle also has a rhythm.

Just as the heaven and earth have their ups and downs, so too do magic arrays.

The spiritual power flowing through it has its own interwoven light and dark fluctuations. The more advanced the formation, the more irregular and difficult it is to detect these fluctuations.

No magic array can operate at full power and without limits around the clock. The result of doing so is either that the array will quickly become ineffective, or it will require a large amount of natural treasures that are full of energy, including structural elements, to maintain it.

The cost of doing so would probably be an unknown amount of spirit stones spent every day.

Lin Jian didn't think that a small Minguang Temple could have such financial resources.

As for hiring a special formation master to set up formations for such a large area as the entire temple every now and then... that would also be quite tiring for the formation master.

The most basic concept of most magic array arrangers is to allow the array to gain a certain amount of rest and maintain its effectiveness for a longer period of time through the interweaving of light and dark spiritual power in the array.

Of course, if the person who sets up the formation intentionally adds some variations based on his own understanding when arranging the formation, it will be more difficult to intercept the formation and obtain a small "backdoor" permission.

But it is obvious that the person who set up this warning formation did not have this kind of thinking.

The fluctuating spiritual energy flowing through the patterns of the magic circle was as obvious as the ripples on the surface of a river. While the magic circle was adjusting its rhythm through dark waves, Lin Jian quickly cut the two ends of the magic circle nodes in his hands into the layout nodes of the temple's warning magic circle.

"Om~"

There was a slight movement of spiritual power above the warning array.

Fairy Hongxia, observing from the side, had almost instantly prepared for battle. As soon as the magic circle sounded the alarm, she would immediately use her magic to lay the groundwork.

Lin Jian also felt a momentary fluctuation in his spiritual power. Lin Jian, who had bound his spiritual consciousness to the magic circle, could even feel the feedback of the magic circle more intuitively than the Hongxia Fairy next to him who was in the Nascent Soul stage.

For a moment, his heart was in his throat.

He also learned this technique from the Basic Formation Manual, but this was his first time actually practicing it.

He couldn't guarantee whether it would succeed or not.

Maybe it’s just like what Fairy Hongxia said, if you can’t do it, just be reckless.

Face off! Let's see what that old monk wants to do!
But fortunately, the magic circle returned to normal after a momentary fluctuation.

The spiritual power of the magic circle that was originally flowing smoothly turned a corner and made a small circle through the magic circle arranged in the forest when passing by the node pressed in the forest.

If the other party's guardian responsible for monitoring the magic circle can always bind his spiritual consciousness to the magic circle and is sharp and vigilant enough, he may be able to notice that the vigilance magic circle will take less than half a breath longer to operate than before, and may also be able to notice that the magic circle consumes a little more spiritual power than before.

But that’s all if…

There are no ifs in the world.

Lin Jian stepped into the interception array he had set up, and he could easily sense that the originally malicious array no longer resisted his entry.

When passing through the spherical warning array area, the array that was supposed to warn outsiders of the entry no longer issued any warnings.

The security system has been taken offline.

The other four people followed behind Lin Jian and sneaked through the "small door" opened in the forest like thieves.

When their bodies actually passed through the barrier, they all opened their eyes wide in surprise, "I really made it!"

"What kind of magic circle is this?" The national teacher was shocked.

"The art of intercepting formations!" Lin Jian made up a story with a serious face. "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Only Fairy Hongxia immediately used this ability for the right purpose. "Then, when I go to steal people from you, no one will be able to discover me in advance, right?"

"?"

"???"

"Master, could you please stop thinking about those dirty things all day long?!" Hua Xiaodie was furious.

"What are you talking about? If I'm not vulgar, why would I join the Hehuan Sect?"

"We monks should adhere to our original aspirations and strive for progress."

"My pursuit of sexual pleasure is the path to advancement. Others may not understand this, but don't you, my disciple, understand this? The reason I've become the fastest-growing disciple of the Hehuan Sect in the past hundred years is because of this unwavering determination!"

"Keep working hard, work hard every day, and keep working hard. This is the only way to achieve Hehuan Avenue! Disciple, you still need to practice."

Hua Xiaodie blushed, "I won't practice this kind of Taoism!"

"Hmph! That's not up to you!" Fairy Hongxia twisted her white jade hands. "I've saved all the ones I used before for you. When we get back this time, I'll let you enjoy the joy of dual cultivation. Believe me, Master. Once you try it once, you'll fall in love with it."

"Ha! Even if I were caught by these monks today and jumped to my death from here, I would never try dual cultivation!"

"Heh~ Let's see."

Listening to the bickering between the master and the apprentice in the forest, he passed through the silent temple and found the core target, Dabei Hall Zuoqin...
