Infiltrating the world of cultivation

The dynasty had a clear understanding of the concept of formations. Simply put, a formation is a combination of applications.

The so-called formation is a means of gathering external forces for one's own use. For example, the Vajra Formation is a simple formation.

The complete version of the Barrier-Breaking Hand can break through countless formations. Judging from this tone, the Barrier-Breaking Hand is an extraordinary divine power.

This jade slip clearly states that the greatest opportunity in this Dining Clouds Secret Realm lies in the Breaking the Restriction Hand.

The Breaking Forbidden Hand is a method to enhance one's spiritual realm. The dynasty also knew that methods to enhance one's spiritual realm were extremely rare.

Moreover, this Ancestor Canxia is a master of formations, and he will inevitably leave behind some of his formation knowledge.

Clearly, this Canxia Secret Realm is where the Canxia Ancestor passed down his teachings, and only by passing his tests can one receive the inheritance.

Wang Chao suddenly realized why the Four Symbols True Man was guarding the outside of the secret realm. Their Four Symbols Peak managed the array and talisman room and was proficient in array and talisman techniques. The disciples of the Four Symbols Peak had the highest probability of obtaining this inheritance.

However, if one wishes to inherit the legacy, one must travel to the forbidden mountain in the center.

The so-called Forbidden Mountain is the giant peak with a hazy halo that Wang Chaoxian saw.

Perhaps, it wasn't a halo at all, but rather arrays.

That place was not one he could get involved in; the dynasty was well aware of its own limitations.

Although he was already a Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, he had only just begun his journey in cultivation.

He hadn't mastered the skills that cultivators were expected to learn: alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, and talismans. He knew he had shortcomings and deficiencies.

However, he has been in the cultivation world for less than a year, and these skills cannot be learned instantly; he must take it one step at a time.

Without exceptional talent or a privileged background, one can only move forward step by step with a down-to-earth attitude.

This path is a dead end; without extraordinary willpower and perseverance, it is impossible to stand out.

The dynasty did not aim too high, but instead studied this Lesser Vajra Technique formation.

This Lesser Vajra Technique is the same halo that previously enveloped the grass.

The formation of this Lesser Vajra Technique was also revealed as the dynasty broke through it.

Even with the dynasty's understanding, it would be difficult to comprehend how a few ordinary stones could be arranged to form a small Vajra spell.

Even if the law of conservation of energy doesn't apply here, it shouldn't be this absurd, right? A few stones can achieve this effect, so what's the working principle behind it?

Following the instructions of the Little Vajra Technique, Wang Chao began to manipulate the pebbles. As the outer layer of the pebbles peeled off, he suddenly realized something.

It turns out that those small black stones were not ordinary pebbles; they were small fragments of spirit stones.

However, in order to conceal their true intentions, the person who arranged it disguised it with some soil on the outside. This dark soil could actually hide the spiritual energy.

However, this Canxia Secret Realm has a history of at least a thousand years. How could a fragment of a spirit stone have been preserved? Don't spirit stones have an expiration date?

Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Wang Chao began to arrange the spirit stone fragments according to the formation method of the Lesser Vajra Technique.

There are a total of thirty-eight pieces. Some of them were buried underground, and the dynasty did not notice them.

Following the blueprints, the dynasty began to arrange the formation according to the established rules.

hum!

With the last spirit stone returned to its place, the Small Vajra Formation began to operate, and in an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to converge in this direction.

The dynasty discovered that the metal-elemental spiritual energy, after passing through this small Vajra Array, no longer flowed but instead condensed on the small Vajra Array.

Gradually, more and more metallic elements appeared, but the dynasty had a bad feeling.

call out!

A chill ran down the spine of the dynasty; a dangerous opportunity permeated the air. Without the slightest hesitation, the dynasty abruptly retreated.

boom!

With a loud bang, a violent explosion occurred at the location where the Xiancai Dynasty had been stationed.

Even from a great distance, the dynasty could feel the shockwaves surging towards them, the violent metallic elements cutting into their faces with a painful ache.

Failed!

A bitter smile played on Wang Chao's lips. Back in the Wei Kingdom's palace, when he first learned the Fireball Technique, a huge explosion also occurred. Cultivation, like conducting a chemistry experiment, is a dangerous activity; a slight mistake could lead to certain death.

With the cultivation level of the fourth stage of Qi Refining, setting up a small Vajra Technique formation is not difficult for Wang Chao. However, some details still need to be considered.

Cultivation cannot be done shoddy; every step must be precise and error-free to ensure that the formation takes shape after completion.

For several days in a row, Wang Chao was setting up the Small Vajra Formation. Once it was successfully set up, he would use the concept of the Breaking Restriction Hand to break the formation.

Through practice, Wang Chao mastered the setup of the Small Vajra Formation and was able to dismantle it with ease.

After learning how to set up the Lesser Vajra Technique formation, Wang Chao gained a deeper understanding of the concept of the Forbidden Hand. Gradually, he began to believe the boast that it could break ten thousand formations.

Next, Wang Chao paid even closer attention to any disturbances around him.

Sure enough, he discovered quite a few formations, such as the Small Water Ball Formation and the Small Earth Spike Formation, all of which were formations evolved from the Five Elements spells.

A question arose in the mind of the dynasty: Could it be that this Ancestor Canxia had a deep understanding of the Five Elements?

So, does he have any way to break the current situation where he is a useless person with five elemental spiritual roots?

Wang Chao had become somewhat interested in this Old Ancestor Canxia. Previously, he had known his own limitations and knew that he could not compete with those veteran inner disciples at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In his opinion, just looting from the outside and picking up some opportunities that others don't want would be enough to make the trip worthwhile.

But now, there are signs that this Old Ancestor Canxia may have mastered the Five Elements, because the formations discovered by the dynasty are all formations based on the Five Elements.

This suggests that this Ancestor Canxia was likely not a master of formations; what he truly wanted to pass on was something related to the Five Elements.

Among so many inner disciples, I am probably the only one with all five elemental roots.

Treasures are naturally formed, and those with the right fate will obtain them.

If it has nothing to do with me, fine, but since it's related to me, I should at least give it a try.

The dynasty had a very solid foundation in the Five Elements magic. It was only because he lacked experience when learning the first Minor Vajra Technique formation that he was a bit slow. However, he was able to quickly decipher the Five Elements formations he encountered later.

As expected, each formation includes an explanation of the concept of a "barrier-breaking technique," along with a Five Elements formation and instructions on how to set it up.

After setting up the Five Elements Formation, the dynasty's understanding of Five Elements magic also progressed by leaps and bounds.

The Five Elements magic and formations are interconnected; their relationship is like that of a donkey and a horse—different species within the same kind.

Wang Chao possessed the spiritual roots of the five elements, and was naturally inclined to the five elements, without being biased towards any particular one.

Although his progress is slow, once he improves, all five attributes will improve simultaneously.

Slow speed is a weakness, but it has the advantage of balance. In many cases, rapid progress is not a good thing. Balanced development and steady progress are the important guarantees for building an enduring foundation.

The more painful it is to lay the foundation now, the greater the joy you will feel when you reap the rewards in the future. One day, what you gain will be worth all your efforts.
