From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

"Go." Chen Yu waved his fingertips, and a bamboo plate flew up out of thin air and landed in the yard.

The bamboo plaque is two inches and four points long, one inch wide, and about half a finger thick. The yellow-green surface is smooth and delicate, and ordinary people cannot see that it is covered with tiny array patterns.

For more than two months, Chen Yu hardly left the house every day, reading the newly acquired "A Rough Explanation of Formations".

I don't know what kind of paper this book is made of, it's as thin as a cicada's wing, but very tough. The pages are yellowed and look quite old.

It is divided into six chapters and 108 pages in total. The first four chapters discuss some basic principles of formations.

The formation originates from the power of heaven and earth, and the terrain of mountains, rivers and lakes gives it unparalleled power.

A typical example is the birth of spiritual veins.

Sects of cultivating immortals are often built on spiritual veins, and powerful monsters also rule the mountains on the spiritual veins.

The special structure accelerates the gathering of spiritual energy, forming spiritual stones inside the mountain and nurturing spiritual medicines and rare animals on the surface.

The original intention of the art of formation was for the ancient sages to copy this power and embody it in random objects.

These four chapters introduce the concept of formations with the power of mountains, rivers and land veins, and then look for places in the celestial phenomena and living beings that are connected with the principles of formations and thus introduce the logic of formations.

Finally, it describes the specific principles of array pattern burning and answers to some common questions.

Chapter 5 is about the monk’s own experience and his conjectures about some strange formations derived from it.

He called himself Master Heguang and was born into the Baiyan School.

There are five foundation-building monks and hundreds of Qi-refining disciples in the sect.

He was not gifted, and after breaking through the foundation, he felt that his future was blocked, so he began to travel around the world.

He traveled to a total of 167 countries, big and small, and experienced the customs and culture of each place.

He also wrote down his thoughts on formations during the journey, such as engraving formations on the cultivators themselves, the derivations of formations and refining equipment, etc.

While traveling, he also kept an eye out for opportunities. For immortal cultivators, the greatest temptation was to improve their realm and extend their lifespan.

It is unclear whether or not there was an opportunity to make further progress in the end, but this "A Rough Explanation of the Art of Formations" is truly an excellent work for enlightenment on formations.

Chen Yu had just started learning about formations, and many of the theories were confusing to him. It was much more difficult than the math, physics and chemistry he had learned in his previous life.

Don't be in a hurry, write down the operations first and then understand them slowly.

Chapter 6 is divided into sixteen pages and introduces four simple basic formations, namely Dust Avoidance, Mystery, Spirit Gathering, and Killing Formation.

Among them, the dust-avoiding formation was the simplest. It took Chen Yu only six days to complete the entire set of formation patterns.

Now he has set up three dust-proof formations in the courtyard, which can keep everything in the house spotless.

Unfortunately, there were no corresponding spiritual objects to set up the formation, and the base of the formation was made of ordinary bamboo.

The array pattern carved by the spiritual energy can last for about a month. After that, the spiritual energy dissipates, the array base breaks, and the array is scrapped.

Therefore, this formation is not very practical.

It is better to cleanse the magic circle gently with spiritual energy than to spend several hours painstakingly carving it. It is only suitable for beginners to practice.

What Chen Yu is now setting up is the second formation introduced in the book - the maze formation.

The bamboo card falls to the designated position, next to which are fifteen identical bamboo cards, arranged in a circle with a diameter of ten feet.

In the center of the circle is the magical jade bottle.

The moment the last bamboo plaque was in place, the light at the original location began to distort.

The bamboo plaque itself and the jade bottle disappeared, leaving only the empty ground.

"It's done!" Chen Yu was delighted and came over to observe it carefully.

The ground was still the same as the surrounding area, only the array base and the jade bottle that needed to be covered had disappeared.

Even the strange phenomena caused by absorbing the sun's rays were restrained at this moment.

The maze array is not a simple light-blocking array, otherwise it would only make things more obvious and increase the probability of being exposed.

Chen Yu stretched out his hand to the place where the jade bottle disappeared and took it out.

The formation was smooth and the jade bottle revealed its true form as soon as it left the range it covered.

He swept his spiritual sense into the formation and felt only chaos.

This is the biggest flaw of the maze formation. How can a normal place block the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator?

But the effect was already good enough. In order to conceal the consciousness of the cultivators perfectly, Chen Yu didn't know what kind of powerful person could do this.

Ordinary immortal cultivators would not use their spiritual sense to scan everywhere all the time. In this case, Chen Yu would discover the other party first.

The maze has been set up, and only the last test remains.

It was worth it that he often went to Fengqi Mountain to cut bamboo and make a large amount of raw materials for the array base these days.

If the array pattern fails to be engraved, the bamboo plates will not be able to withstand the runaway spiritual energy and will shatter.

There were several large boxes of broken bamboo plates piled up in the yard, and he had used a lot of them for cooking.

This raw material was still too common, so Chen Yu had to plant two bamboos in the space.

He planned to see if real spiritual bamboo could be born with the nourishment of the spiritual energy of space and the jade dew of creation.

A suitable array base can not only increase the probability of successful burning, but also greatly extend the usage time.

The formation is prone to failure, that is, the spiritual energy array pattern above dissipates. If the spiritual energy is sufficient to make the array pattern balanced, theoretically the formation can continue to operate.

It is said that when the spiritual energy is extremely dense, the formation can even advance automatically!

The next morning, Chen Yu took out the jade bottle from the maze.

As the small bottle swayed, it made a pleasant sound of water.

He poured out the Jade Dew of Creation in the bottle, and the amount was exactly the same as before.

Then apply the Jade Dew of Creation to the elixir in the space, and the effect will be just as good.

This maze formation is truly successful.

Otherwise, the jade bottle cannot play a role in the formation, and this maze formation will be of no use to him.

The formation was initially completed. After Chen Yu completed a day of practice, he continued to engrave the formation patterns.

The previous one was just a simple version, covering an area of ​​only ten feet in radius.

Now he planned to use dozens of array bases to create a maze array that would cover the entire courtyard.

With the previous successful experience, the burning was fast and good this time.

In just over three hours, all the fifty-six array bases required were prepared, and only four failed during this period.

Chen Yu buried fifty-five of the array bases one by one in the corners of the wall outside the courtyard.

When the last one was buried, the temperament of the courtyard suddenly changed, and it seemed to become much more profound.

Upon closer inspection, the courtyard was bathed in the summer sun and there was nothing unusual.

The best quality bamboo plate in Chen Yu's hand is the control core of this formation.

The simple formation he had set up before didn't need this, so he didn't make it.

This array card is also the most complicated, requiring twenty-four types of array patterns to be engraved on it, with more than one hundred patterns. Three of the four that he failed to make just now were at this step.

He was seen controlling the core of the formation in his hand, and the courtyard suddenly disappeared. Then the formation turned, and the courtyard appeared out of thin air.

Chen Yu can also use the array pattern on his hand to selectively conceal part of the courtyard.

He remotely controlled the buried array base, and the array patterns on it adjusted their directions accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, the jujube tree in the yard disappeared, the peach saplings disappeared, and Chen Yu also disappeared.

But he could see the outside scene from the covered place.

Amazing skills! Chen Yu studied "A Rough Explanation of Formation" with even greater interest.
