Infiltrating the world of cultivation

He put all the bovine-shaped creature's corpse into his Qiankun bag. This kind of spirit beast, whether it was its fur or its bones, was a treasure. He would slowly dissect it when he got back.

Wang Chao determined his location and continued forward. His goal was clear: the forbidden mountain in the center.

He wasn't even thinking about reaching that forbidden mountain; he'd just go as far as he could.

If all else fails, we can crush the jade tablet and teleport out.

Along the way, Wang Chao also learned to be more shrewd, sending out scout bees to probe the area. Since the bees had no spiritual power, they were not so easy to detect.

With the scout bees, Wang Chao could focus on finding the hidden Five Elements Formation.

Along the way, the dynasty encountered all sorts of Five Elements formations, many of which began to possess special functions.

Some metal-elemental formations began to release golden light, forming attack formations. Sometimes, as Wang Chao walked, his feet were bound by vines. All of this was because Wang Chao had triggered hidden formations.

As he delved deeper, the forms of these formations began to diversify, including those for concealing traces, defense, offense, and trapping the enemy.

Each time Wang Chao deciphered a formation, he gained insight into it; in his eyes, it was like solving a math problem.

It's like being proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division up to 100, and then being able to solve first-grade math problems with ease.

This is also because he possesses the spiritual roots of the five elements, is naturally affinity-to-the-five elements, and comprehends this kind of five-element formation faster than others.

For an ordinary person without a foundation, it would be impossible to understand.

The dynasty, which was traveling through the area, suddenly stopped and discovered a Five Elements Formation.

Now, his senses were much sharper than before, and he easily discovered the formation.

call out!

Wang Chao threw out a spirit stone to test the formation.

hum!

In the empty void, golden light suddenly flashed, rippling in layers like waves on water.

Wang Chao stared at the golden light, seemingly lost in thought. Something was wrong with this metal-attribute array!

call out!

Wang Chao launched another spirit stone, this time not at the metal-attribute array, but at the ground.

hum!

Suddenly, greenery appeared on the seemingly normal ground, causing Wang Chao to pause slightly in surprise.

How could a metal-attribute formation overlap with a wood-attribute formation?

How do two different elements manage to blend together?

This kind of formation within a formation was something the dynasty had never encountered before, and they felt somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed.

This is a formation where metal follows wood. At first glance, it appears to be just an ordinary defensive formation, but in reality, it is an offensive formation with the wood attribute. Moreover, the wood attribute attack cleverly utilizes the sharpness of metal.

This technique of fusing two attributes is indeed quite remarkable.

Wang Chao did not rashly break the formation, but instead carefully observed the patterns of the two formations. He had broken both of these formations individually, so he was confident in facing one of them.

However, we are currently facing two projects, and it is very likely that we will have to focus on one while neglecting the other.

Wang Chao was very familiar with both of these formations; he could even set them up himself. Now, he was studying how they were cleverly integrated.

With both sides corroborating each other, the dynasty quickly discovered the flaw.

Boo!

As the dynasty found a breakthrough, the formation combining the metal and wood elements instantly collapsed.

The dynasty couldn't wait any longer. It took out the jade slip from the formation and began to study the technique of fusing the two attributes.

Being able to crack a code is one thing, being able to set it up is another. It's like the relationship between building a bridge and constructing a bridge. Although both are related to bridges, they are completely different things.

boom!

A violent explosion rang out from the dense forest, making a huge commotion!

"Fuck me!"

Amidst the massive dust storm, Wang Chao emerged, covered in soot and grime.

The explosion was too sudden. Even though he cast a Vajra Technique on himself, he was still somewhat overwhelmed. The fusion of the two spiritual energies was far too terrifying.

When set up separately, both formations worked fine, but problems arose once they were merged. The two elements were impossible to merge, and if they were forcibly merged, the consequences would be the same as before: a violent explosion.

Wang Chao frowned. Where was the problem? Why were there no issues with either of the two formations, yet a massive explosion occurred once they were merged?

Clearly, the problem lies not in the two formations, but in their fusion; the fusion process was incorrect.

Wang Chao thought back carefully and realized that he had merged step by step, with each step precise and without error. Wang Chao was certain that there were no problems.

So where exactly does the problem lie?

When faced with a problem and unable to find an answer, the best solution is to think about the problem from the opposite perspective, which is also known as reverse thinking.

If you want two formations to fail to merge, you won't wait until the merging process to intervene. Instead, you'll tamper with their setup from the very beginning, ensuring their merging fails.

Suddenly, Wang Chao's gaze sharpened. That's it! From the very beginning of setting up the formation, they were instructed to begin merging, merging and setting up simultaneously!

It's like two iron rings. If you want them to fit together after they've been cast, it's impossible. But they're already interlocked when they're cast, so they'll naturally be tightly connected!

Wang Chao's eyes lit up, and he began to try to set up this formation that blended wood with gold.

This time, the dynasty did not complete the two formations before merging them, but instead merged them while forming the formations.

hum!

Within the formation, a flash of spiritual light appeared.

call out!

Subconsciously, Wang Chao first cast a Vajra Technique on himself, and then used the Wind Control Technique to decisively escape.

He was terrified of being bombed. Once bitten, twice shy. Now, whenever he sees a flash of light, he wants to stay away.

Boo!

After seeing no movement behind him, Wang Chao slowly turned around and discovered that the formation had already been completed.

Following the principles of breaking the formation, Wang Chao quickly dismantled and destroyed the array, then re-established it. After several successful attempts, Wang Chao mastered the technique of setting up arrays.

At this moment, Wang Chao did not continue forward, but squatted on the ground thoughtfully, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was calculating something.

call out!

A green vine suddenly appeared in Wang Chao's hand; this was a wood-attribute spell, the Vine Spell!

The vine technique is primarily used to bind enemies and restrict their movement.

At this moment, golden light began to appear on the green spirit vine!

puff!

Sharp golden thorns emerged from the spirit vine, adding a touch of killing intent to the restraints!

Wang Chao looked at the golden spirit vine in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Only now did he understand the method of fusion that Elder Zhou had explained when he was passing on his skills in the outer sect.

Previously, I had just memorized it by rote without understanding its meaning, but now, looking back and thinking about it carefully, many things that were unclear have been easily resolved, and I feel like I have suddenly seen the light.
