My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World
Chapter 192 The Way of Formations
A formation can only exist between heaven and earth if it follows the rules and regulations of the formation; otherwise, it will be difficult to take shape.
Once one reaches that transcendent level, all restrictions imposed by the formation on its master become meaningless.
At this point, the formations were no longer limited to the material level, but began to evolve and develop from a conceptual level.
Take Luo Xuan's Fire Crow Formation as an example; its essence lies in the word "condensation".
Those fire crows were merely at the Golden Immortal level, and the flames they released could only pose a certain degree of threat to Golden Immortals.
However, with the blessing of the Fire Crow Formation, the situation changed dramatically. This formation can gather the power of many flames into one place, thereby condensing the flames and raising their level.
Therefore, even though these fire crows themselves are at most at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, through the magical effect of the Fire Crow Formation, they are able to condense terrifying flames like the Great Sun Golden Flame, thus possessing the terrifying strength to threaten the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
It is said that all things possess a spirit, and this naturally includes formations.
Each formation possesses its own unique soul and will, and they follow a supreme law—to maintain their own existence.
Just like using living beings to set up a living formation, this approach is fraught with risk.
When the formation becomes too powerful, the convergence of the power contained within it is actually the process of the formation's spiritual essence converging.
However, if the person setting up the formation does not have a sufficiently profound understanding of formations to properly guide these spiritual consciousnesses, then trouble will ensue.
The desire for self-existence among the spirits within those formations will quickly gain the upper hand and become the common goal pursued by all spirits.
At this point, they will do anything to ensure the survival of the formation, so it is common for them to break free from the control of the creatures that set up the formation and frantically absorb the energy of the person who set it up.
If the person who sets up the formation resists, these formation spirits will show no mercy and directly suppress their consciousness, or even completely destroy their consciousness, turning them into puppets of the formation.
However, once you reach the array level, the situation is completely different.
At this point, the person who set up the formation had become the absolute master of the formation, and could control everything at will.
With just a thought, the spirit of the formation will obey orders and cooperate fully, even if it knows it may face death and annihilation.
For example, the Fire Crow Formation, although it can condense the blazing golden flames of the sun, can never condense the chaotic fire.
The reason for this is simply that the Chaos Fire was too powerful, far exceeding the limits that the Fire Raven could withstand.
Even if they could barely manage to condense it, the fire crows would never do so, because if they were not careful, they would probably face annihilation.
This is the consciousness of the fire crow and also the consciousness of the array spirit. After all, even the creatures that set up the array have been burned to ashes, so how can the array still be maintained?
However, if one can reach the realm of array rules, then the instant his thoughts turn, even knowing that he will be burned to ashes by the terrifying chaotic fire, he will still gather his power without hesitation.
They would not hesitate to risk their own soul being destroyed.
Even more astonishing is that with just a thought, one can easily take over those formations that already have an owner and manipulate them to operate according to one's own will.
The power displayed at this level is nothing short of heaven-defying, inspiring awe and fear.
Even with Zhao Xuan's profound expertise in formations, he had only barely reached the seventh realm.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuan possesses the mysterious and unpredictable Xuanhuang Dharma Body.
When he transformed himself into the formation, he not only endowed the formation with an almost inexhaustible capacity, but also gave him absolute control over the formation.
The construction of the array system is also one of the major gains Zhao Xuan has made since entering the world of gods.
Prior to this, although Zhao Xuan knew that he had a high talent and achievement in the art of formations, he was not really clear about the level of his own formation skills.
Now, with the organization of his knowledge of formations, he has come to understand his shortcomings and where his path lies.
After clearing away the spoils, he began to impart his valuable knowledge of formations accumulated over many years to Luo Jin without reservation, aiming to help Luo Jin break through existing constraints and further enhance his potential.
If Luo Jin wants to successfully advance to the array seal level, the various material resources and related abilities required are not scarce. What is truly lacking is the understanding and mastery of array formations.
To reach the array seal level, the profound mystery of the array involved has already surpassed the comprehension of ordinary immortals. Only by reaching the level of Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal can one possibly condense its mysteries.
The arrays set up by the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain have not yet reached such a level.
Formations that can reach this level are extremely rare, even among the profound Lingbao Dao Sect.
Looking at the entire Lingbao Dao Sect, only the four true disciples and the four outer disciples have reached such a level of mastery in formations.
The Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array, located at the Lingbao Dao Sect's mountain gate, has already surpassed this level and climbed to the seventh realm.
Such divine formations are incredibly powerful and unpredictable. Even a Primordial Grand Supreme Golden Immortal would find it difficult to withstand them if he were not proficient in formations.
Although the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation has not yet reached the level of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal, it is not far from that level.
The birth of Luo Jin undoubtedly brought a huge turning point to the Golden Turtle Covering the Earth Formation, saving it countless tens of thousands of years.
Otherwise, relying solely on carefully nurturing the initial weak array spirit until it gradually forms a unified self-awareness would take an immeasurably long time.
Figures like Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao spent nearly 100 million years in this process.
When the art of formations is cultivated to the later stages, it is no longer merely a technique used to assist in cultivation, but has truly become a legitimate path of cultivation.
Every small step forward requires the accumulation and sedimentation of a vast amount of time.
For this reason, the path of cultivating array formations is also known as "array refining," and the hardships involved can only be deeply understood by those who have personally experienced it.
The key lies in the word "refinement." This process is by no means smooth sailing or easy. It requires going through countless hardships and undergoing numerous trials and tribulations before it can be called "refinement" in the true sense.
Whether it's alchemy, weapon crafting, or talisman crafting, there's always the possibility of failure, and the same applies to array crafting.
When the array spirit has condensed to ninety percent of its authority and the array seal is about to be successfully formed, but at this critical moment the array refining fails, all the previous efforts are wasted. This situation is quite common.
Therefore, it is truly an incredible stroke of luck that Zhao Xuan was able to successfully condense a powerful array spirit like Luo Jin in just three thousand years.
However, Luo Jin's current strength is still somewhat insufficient, and there is still a certain gap between his current strength and the level of array seals that Zhao Xuan expected.
Only when it reaches the array seal level can it serve as a carrier to condense creation matter.
Then, as long as Zhao Xuan integrates it into his own body, he will be able to use these creative substances freely.
Time flies, and eight hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Rogin was always in the process of accumulating experience.
Seeing that Luo Jin would have difficulty breaking through in a short time, Zhao Xuan decided to leave it in the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain to guard its safety.
After making the arrangements, he mounted his Crimson Thunder Steed and galloped swiftly towards the mountain gate of the Lingbao Dao Sect.
The Outer Sect Discussion Conference, initiated and hosted by Zhao Gongming, is nearing its opening.
When Zhao Xuan arrived at the gate of Lingbao Dao Sect at lightning speed, he was stunned by the magnificent and awe-inspiring scene before him.
A towering mountain peak stood between heaven and earth like a pillar supporting the sky, shrouded in mist, adding to its mysterious and unpredictable aura.
Even though Luo Xuan had witnessed it many times in his memory, the shock he felt when he was actually there was still like a surging wave crashing against his heart.
Zhao Xuan had traveled through the chaos for an unknown amount of time, and had seen all sorts of bizarre and wonderful scenes.
However, it lacked a certain aura compared to the sacred mountain before it, an aura that was difficult to describe.
It is the existence of this momentum that is so awe-inspiring.
Below the mountain peaks lies a vast, boundless land stretching for countless billions of miles, dotted with tens of thousands of majestic peaks.
Each mountain peak was enormous, and even the smallest one was more magnificent than the Fire Raven Sect's divine domain.
The scenery in these mountains is ever-changing and breathtaking.
Sometimes the sun shines brightly in the east while a light rain falls in the west; sometimes the sun and moon hang high in the sky on both the north and south sides, shining brightly together; even more amazingly, just moments ago the sky was shrouded in heavy clouds and mist, but in the blink of an eye the clouds and mist quietly dissipate, revealing thousands of majestic warriors clad in golden armor and wielding weapons... Every imaginable wonder can be seen here.
These peaks surround the central location, a towering mountain whose height is immeasurable, spanning billions of miles.
It is like a towering pillar reaching into the sky, giving people a sense of endless majesty.
Through the thin clouds, one can vaguely see numerous magnificent palaces scattered throughout the sacred mountain, and all sorts of cultivators moving swiftly back and forth like shooting stars.
This sacred mountain is the location of the Lingbao Dao Sect's mountain gate, and its original name is Wanling Divine Mountain.
It is one of the three thousand divine mountains formed from the remains of chaos.
This mountain represents the most mysterious of the Three Thousand Laws, the Law of Spiritual Gods, and is the origin of the Law of Spiritual Gods in all the Rivers of Gods.
