Since he knew that the prohibition was actually a derivative of the formation, then the problems faced by Wu Xiangyuan were probably a little bit obvious. Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to learn the formation.
In fact, since he learned that the improvement of the body technique of the fish and dragon needs to be improved by formations, Wu Xiangyuan has learned some formation knowledge intermittently and learned a lot of formations. In addition to the formations that the elixir must master, he has also known a lot of formations, but he has no systematic learning.
Therefore, he felt that his formation had already been in the beginning, and he would be more comfortable to learn the formation. It was a terrible thing. He decided to start systematically learning the formation from today and strive to become a master of formation as soon as possible.
So he turned his attention to the classification and collection of the Formation Path. He had to admire the original owner of the broken tripod. The books on the Formation Path alone collected tens of thousands of volumes. However, Wu Xiangyuan knew that the most precious thing was the dozens of soul books placed in the front.
The so-called soul books refer to books that can only be viewed with the power of the soul, while those books that can be read without the power of the soul are called physical books, because the content and text of these books are real objects that can be viewed directly with the eyes and touched with the hands. To put it bluntly, we usually use paper to bind them into books.
In comparison, soul books are much more precious than physical books, because soul books are books carefully refined by precious materials such as soul-raising jade and soul-raising wood and written by soul-cultivating masters with extremely powerful soul power.
If you want to write something in a soul book, you must at least have the soul power of the Medicine King or above. Otherwise, if you want to leave information on a soul book, you can only be a fool.
Therefore, soul books are very precious, but not everyone can read soul books. Only by reaching the strength of the soul power recognized by the writer can you read the contents in the book. This is also a requirement for the writer for his own inheritance. If the writer fails to meet the requirements, the writer believes that it has not met the requirements of learning his own inheritance and cannot enter the soul books.
For example, a elixir master wrote a secret book on alchemy. If he did not reach the minimum requirement for becoming a elixir master, it would be impossible to read the contents in it.
Of course, most writers will not set their requirements so low. Soul-cultivators who can use their soul power to write books are not famous practitioners. If they become their inheritors, they will not be able to obtain their inheritance without any ability.
Soul books are generally written by elixirs, formation masters, and artifact masters, because only they have strong soul power can write soul books. Without strong soul power, even martial arts masters at the peak of the Muqi Realm should not leave any marks on soul books.
Wu Xiangyuan scanned the books on several bookshelfs classified by the formation paths and finally found the books he needed: "The First Explanation of the Formation Path". So he sank his soul power into the books, and lines of text appeared in his mind:
"The way of heaven is the way of formation. All things born in heaven are orderly, wind and clouds are born together, thunder and lightning are carried together, mountains are high and low, water is clear and turbid, living beings have strengths and weaknesses... It is endless to describe them, and these are all represented by orders. If the order of all things is used, it is a formation. Therefore, all things are arrays..."
After reading the general description, Wu Xiangyuan couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that anything in the world could be explained by formations.
For example, according to the "First Interpretation of Formation", the meridians of the human body are actually also a formation. The martial artists practice martial arts are actually the development and utilization of this formation. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Xiangyuan also felt that it makes sense.
So Wu Xiangyuan became more and more fascinated. In the end, he actually forgot everything. He absorbed the knowledge of the formation like a sponge, and used this knowledge to confirm the formations he used in alchemy, such as the spirit gathering array, the spirit locking array, and the amplification array. He also used this knowledge to confirm what he learned in martial arts, which made him gain a lot.
"I didn't expect the formation to be so profound. It's ridiculous that I used to think that I had achieved some success in formation. Even if I didn't become a formation master, it was not far apart. Who knew that I didn't even enter the threshold. I was really ashamed. The way of formation is the way to capture all things for use. It was indeed extremely powerful," Wu Xiangyuan murmured.
In the following time, Wu Xiangyuan studied the formation wholeheartedly and knew that if you want to become a formation master, you must first have strong soul power, and the strength of this soul power is almost the same as that of a elixir. Wu Xiangyuan undoubtedly met this condition long ago.
The level classification of formation masters is actually similar to that of elixirs. Formation masters are divided into:
1. The formation boy is the lowest-level formation master. He can only understand the basic rules of formations, identify and drive the simplest formations, and can only arrange the most visible formations.
Second, the formation disciple. He is also a relatively low-level formation master. In addition to having all the abilities possessed by the formation boy, the formation disciple can already arrange more complex formations.
Third, the formation master. It can be said to be an intermediate formation master. In addition to having all the abilities possessed by the formation disciples, he can also arrange more advanced formations.
Fourth, the formation master is a high-level formation master. In addition to what the formation masters know, he can also arrange simple compound formations. The so-called compound formation is a formation that coexists inlaid with two or more inlaids.
Five, Formation King. He is currently the most top formation master in the world. When he reaches this level of cultivation, he can already be called the formation master. They can arrange complex formations. All the top mountain protection formations of major sects in the world are generally arranged by formation masters of this level.
Formations can also be divided into several categories according to their different uses. One is auxiliary formation, such as the spirit gathering formation, the spirit locking formation and the amplification formation, all belong to this type of formation.
The second is attack formation. This type of formation has great attack power. Therefore, don’t think that the formation masters have no power to tie a chicken. In fact, the formation masters have very large attack power, and their attack methods are all killed.
The third is defensive formations. This type of formation is mainly used for defense, making the attack invalid and has a wide range of uses.
In addition, there are other common formations such as trapping arrays, maze arrays, illusion arrays, etc. It can be seen that the formation methods are simply all-encompassing, which also made Wu Xiangyuan understand that it is indeed not easy to master the formation.
However, after reading "The First Explanation of Formation", Wu Xiangyuan still found no introduction to the ban, which made Wu Xiangyuan frown.
So he couldn't help but recall the graphics of the prohibition he set. Soon he found that these graphics of the prohibition were relatively simple, much simpler than the most basic and simplest formations in the formation. If it were described in "The First Explanation of the Formation", it could not be considered a formation at all, otherwise the warrior would not be able to set the ban easily.
"But, why can this kind of restriction, which is simpler than the simplest formation, have such a great defense?" Wu Xiangyuan didn't understand, so he took out his Qiankun bag to carefully observe the restriction he set.
"Hey, no, the ban I set seems to be a small corner of a defensive formation, but I have not set up a formation. Why does a ban pattern appear when I input the corresponding power in it? This is strange. Does it turn out that there is a ban pattern on the magic weapon?" Wu Xiangyuan kept asking himself.
"Let's take "The Heavenly Artifacts Score" to see why this situation happened." Wu Xiangyuan thought about it and began to look up the "The Heavenly Artifacts Score" again.
