Obviously, the pages in the back part can only be read after you have understood the essence of the previous formations and gained a certain level of attainment.
Xu Hong stabilized his mood and completely maintained it in an ethereal state, completely immersed in this ancient book.
Time went by unknowingly, and three months passed quickly.
I wonder if it is because Xu Hong has perfected the third level of "Tian Ji Suan" and his thinking and understanding are far beyond ordinary people. He is learning the formation method and has made extremely rapid progress.
In just three months, he fully understood the first part of The Return of Ten Thousand Formations and took the first step on the path of formations.
Although the first part of this ancient book is the most superficial and is the basis of the formation method, other beginners would have to struggle for at least three to five years to understand it.
Xu Hong knew that the main task was to perfect the three levels of "Tian Ji Suan" by himself.
However, he did not look happy, because this first part is only the most basic part of the formation method. Learning it is just the first step, not even entering the palace.
But at any rate, he is considered a beginner and has some knowledge and understanding of the formation method.
This ancient book introduces the ways of formation, which can be roughly divided into eight categories: trapping, sealing, killing, absorbing, gathering, collecting, condensing, and suppressing.
And among them, every understanding has infinite branch extensions, and even every branch is mysterious and endless. If you want to fully explore its magical effects, you don't know how many years it will take.
As for fully exploring all the branches of these eight great realizations, that is even more impossible, no one can do it.
No matter how talented the formation master is, although he has dabbled in all the eight fields, there is only one or a very few fields that he can really delve deeply into. If you want to understand them all, it is beyond human power.
The main mystery of Wusha Sect's nine-turn spirit gathering formation is concentrated in the field of "gathering" among the eight great realizations.
However, even though it is a fifth-grade formation, the understanding of "gathering" is far from being studied to the extreme.
You must know that there are nine grades of grand formations in total. If you can study a certain understanding to the extreme, you can theoretically set up a ninth-grade grand formation. Once a magic formation of that level is released, you can cast a powerful force at will.
Yes, I'm afraid even the entire Ziwei Continent can be wiped out in an instant.
However, this kind of grand formation has only been proposed in theory, and I haven't heard of anyone who can comprehend the art of formation to that extent.
Xu Hong didn't have much ambition in this formation. He just wanted to be able to comprehend the formation to the level of Huo Huangzi and Ye Yuekong, and be able to activate the fifth-grade formation. That was enough.
He now understood the contents recorded in the first part of the ancient book and was able to draw and carve rough formation patterns and arrange some simple magic formations.
Regarding the second part of the classic book on the Return of Ten Thousand Formations, which was covered up by the formation light curtain, we can also see some of it.
The second part of this ancient book records a mysterious explanation of first- and second-grade magic formations. It even lists thousands of original layout diagrams of first- and second-grade magic formations.
Obviously, these magic formations are for students to understand and study. If you can understand the mysteries and arrange a first- and second-grade magic formation, it represents your attainment in the way of formations.
To go further, you can watch the content of the third part.
First- and second-grade magic formations are nothing in the eyes of some spiritual beings who are proficient in formations. Even a small figure like the head of the Qi family in the Southern Territory can arrange dozens, hundreds, or even dozens of formations in an instant.
You can create a magic circle of this level yourself.
However, the thousands of first- and second-grade magic formations recorded in ancient books are so precious that they cover all eight major fields of formations.
This greatly facilitated Xu Hong. After all, if a person wanted to achieve success in the art of formation, he had to dabble in all the eight major understandings, and then select one or two of them for in-depth study.
Xu Hong thought for a while, then took out the Tianhan Xuanming formation diagram and the Spirit King's chariot that he had collected, and looked at the formation patterns on it carefully.
Although with his current attainments in formations, he is completely unable to understand the mysteries of the fifth-level formations, he can distinguish these formations through the formation patterns, and the mysteries contained in these formations mainly belong to those fields.
However, the more Xu Hong looked at it, the darker his face became. After half a stick of incense, he looked away from the Tianhan Xuanming formation diagram and the light curtain on the surface of the Spirit King's chariot, and his face was already ashen.
Tianhan Xuanming Formation, the structure of this formation mainly involves the field of "condensation", and is constructed with the help of some basic magical functions in other fields. When activated, it can condense all kinds of cold and cold things in the world.
Strength becomes an infinite means of attack.
The formation patterns of the three fifth-grade formations on the light curtain outside the Spirit King's chariot mainly involve different understandings. They are respectively highlighted in the three aspects of "sealing", "receiving" and "suppressing".
This means that Xu Hong must achieve extremely advanced attainments in the four major areas of "condensation", "sealing", "collection" and "township" before he can use these two things.
"Damn it, Huo Huangzi got the help of so many supreme elders from Wusha Sect, and he was able to master the formation in the field of 'Gathering' in a short time, and he was promoted to the level of a fifth-grade formation mage, who can activate the nine revolutions.
Spirit Gathering Array Diagram. If I want to reach the level of a fifth-level array mage in all four fields by myself, I am afraid that with my understanding, it will not be enough for several decades."
Xu Hong was confused for a while. Although he now had eight sages under his command, those demon sages were all incapable of forming formations and were starting from scratch.
After all, none of these demon lords have peerless formation diagrams in their hands, so who would spend time learning the art of this formation.
"No matter! Qing Niu, all of you come here. From today on, you will all practice the formation method for me." Xu Hong called the Qing Niu Demon Lord and other eight demon lords over, asking them to meditate on "Ten Thousand Thousands of Demons" together.
"Array Returns to Its Origin", learn the formation method.
After all, they have all cultivated to the realm of demon masters, have advanced spiritual martial arts realms, and are not slow in learning the art of formations.
Xu Hong planned to let the eight demon masters study different Xu Hong respectively. Even the twenty demons and Wu Yan were called over by Xu Hong and asked them to comprehend together. Each of them only comprehended one of the fields.
Just small branches.
"They have studied the different branches of each major field. When the time comes, they will infuse all the things they have understood into me with their thoughts. I believe it can greatly increase the speed of my cultivation." Xu Hong thought in his mind, and then he understood "
The understanding of the first part of "Return to the Source of Ten Thousand Arrays" is contained in one's own thoughts and passed on to the Eight Demon Lords and each major demon.
"We will do our best to help the master understand the way of formation."
The Green Bull Demon Lord and others all responded in unison, and then one by one digested the cultivation experience in Xu Hong's thoughts, and gathered around to meditate on "The Return of Ten Thousand Formations to the Origin" together.
The Eight Great Demon Lords and a group of great demons have respectively comprehended the eight major areas of the formation method, especially the four major areas of "Condensation", "Sealing", "Collection" and "Suppression", which are their main targets.
But even so, Xu Hong still felt that the progress was too slow. After all, there were tens of millions of branches in each field, and the current manpower was not enough.
So Xu Hong asked all the great demons above the fifth level of the Dazzling Spiritual Realm in the Blue Bull Demon Lord's cave to come in and help him comprehend.
Time flies day by day, and soon another half year has passed.
In the Wuji Peak, Xu Hong was sitting cross-legged in the center, surrounded by the Eight Great Demon Lords and a group of great demons. They had spent half a year comprehending the secrets of the formation, and poured their thoughts into Xu Hong.
This is a quick way to practice the art of formation, but it is impossible for ordinary people to gather so many masters to help them selflessly.
Huo Huangzi was able to reach the level of a fifth-grade formation mage in the field of "Ju" in such a short period of time because of the help of many Supreme Elders of the Five Evil Sect.
However, the eight demon masters and many great demons of the Dazzling Spiritual Realm who helped Xu Hong at this time had all started from scratch in the formation method, so after half a year, their understanding of the mysteries was not very profound, but it was beyond the scope of their dabbling.
It was very wide, and Xu Hong also gained a lot.
Xu Hong gathered so many demon masters and great demons to understand the mysteries of formations in their respective fields, and combined with some of his own insights, he actually made his formation attainments reach the level of a second-grade formation mage in the eight major fields.
At this point, a formation mage has just begun to get a glimpse of the secrets.
If you want to activate the Tianhan Xuanming Formation, in addition to reaching the attainment of a fifth-level formation mage in the field of "condensation", you must also dabble in the other seven major fields. The minimum requirement is to reach the attainment of a second-level formation mage.
, only then can the power of the large array be fully utilized.
Xu Hong only met the most basic requirements.
However, at this step, Xu Hong did not rush forward. Instead, he carefully sorted out and integrated the insights of many demon masters and great demons, and compared them with the thousands of first and second grade records recorded in "The Return of Ten Thousand Formations".
The magic circle was arranged by itself.
As for the Eight Great Demon Lords and many of the Dazzling Spirit Realm Demon Lords, they are not idle either. While continuing to explore the branches of their respective research lines, they are communicating with other Demon Lords to complement each other and help each other.
These monsters don't have as strong a mind and understanding as Xu Hong, so naturally they cannot digest and absorb other people's feelings. However, it is of great benefit to exchange the experiences of monsters in the same field.
For a time, Wuji Peak became quiet again. Everyone was focused on their own cultivation. When they encountered something they didn't understand, they communicated with each other with their thoughts.
And Xu Hong started to put it into practice. After he understood the mysteries of the first and second level magic circles, he immediately started to arrange them.
A continuous stream of spiritual energy emerged from his fingertips, and formations were carved into the void.
Different formations were arranged in his hands. There were defensive formations, attack formations, trapping formations, and spiritual energy gathering formations. There were many different uses.
However, the only similarity is that these magic circles are very weak. Even if the power of dozens or hundreds of magic circles are added together, they are still vulnerable to a single blow.
Any monster in the Dazzling Spirit Realm in Wuji Peak can be easily defeated.
