It is true that the World Destroying Heavenly Lord only mentioned to him that practicing formations requires a strong spiritual stone foundation as support, but he has never mentioned that becoming an weapon refiner also requires a huge resource reserve.
In his opinion, if you want to refine weapons, you just need to know the ropes and spend time in a flower shop.
To say that it requires huge resources to support it is a bit confusing for him.
"Brother Ye, please forgive me for asking! When you ask about this matter, do you have the idea of becoming a weapon refiner?"
Seeing Ye Xiao's surprised expression, Gu Dao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"To be honest, I do have such thoughts!"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded slightly awkwardly.
"I don't think I need to hide anything from you. When we were in Hanchuan, you also saw the figure of the old man separated from my body! In fact, he is my master!"
Ye Xiao said seriously.
"Moreover, under his guidance, I also have the identity of an array mage!"
"Brother Ye, are you an array master?"
After hearing Ye Xiao's words, Gu Dao suddenly couldn't believe it.
He knows much more about the world than Ye Xiao.
So he also knows how difficult it is to become an array mage.
Regardless of whether you have that talent or not, even if you do, you still need the guidance of a famous teacher.
Studying formations also requires a huge amount of energy and time, which will definitely delay the progress of your practice.
At the same time, as far as the formation masters are concerned, the main support is financial resources, but this is generally not included in the category they worry about.
As far as he knew, in the entire world, all cultivators with the potential to become formation masters were the targets that all the major sects and aristocratic families wanted to cultivate. The efforts and resources they invested in formation masters were not worth the slightest.
Not lower than the talented disciples in the sect, but even above these talented disciples.
From this, one can imagine how precious the formation master is.
Taking the Void World as an example, there are only a few formation mages, and they are all recruited by the five ancient tribes. The people of the five ancient tribes also have high hopes for them and devote their efforts to their training.
Their way of giving back is also very simple, they just need to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the sect family that cultivated them.
But on weekdays, they are immersed in the research of formations and rarely show up. Therefore, even if the world knows about their existence, few people have seen them!
Ye Xiao not only came from the lower ancient world and possessed spiritual fire, but he also had the identity of an array master. How could Gu Dao not be shocked by such a thing.
"Why, Brother Gu Dao, does it surprise you that I have the identity of an array master?"
Seeing Gu Dao's widened eyes, Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Ye, this is no longer an accident, but a shock! To be honest, if you hadn't said it, who would have known that you were so secretive. I don't understand you more and more!"
Gu Dao frowned and shook his head, then looked at Ye Xiao with a faint gleam of light in his eyes.
"Brother Ye, you possess spiritual fire and have the identity of an array master. The reason why you asked about the weapon refiner must have already made a decision in your heart!"
"So what if I have made a decision, now I know nothing about my weapon refining, and as you said, to become a weapon refining master, you need huge resources to support me. In my current situation, I am afraid I am powerless!
"
Ye Xiao said helplessly.
"Brother Ye, what you said is a bit exaggerated!" Hearing this, Gu Dao frowned unconsciously, "Now that you are a divine envoy, and you have the gods of the Void Spirit Realm behind you to rely on, are you still worried about insufficient resources? Problem?"
"Brother Gu Dao, you don't understand me when you say this!"
After Gu Dao finished speaking, Ye Xiao immediately replied.
"Although I recognize that the identity of the God Envoy is true, it does not mean that my relationship with the Gods of the Ethereal Realm has been greatly eased. I do not want to have too deep a relationship with them, so I am allowed to use the resources of the Gods of the Ethereal Realm. Come study the art of weapon refining, it’s better to skip it!”
"Brother Ye, I know what you are thinking!"
After Ye Xiao finished speaking, Gu Dao also sighed slowly.
Because of the affairs of Shangguan Rou, Mu Xue, Shen Qianshan and Qian Xuecheng, there has always been a gap between Ye Xiao and the gods of the Void Spirit Realm. Currently, Ye Xiao is unwilling to rely on the resources of the gods of the Void Spirit Realm to study the art of weapon refining. Within reason.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry to study it anyway, so I'll understand it first. After all, the most important thing right now is to improve my strength and prepare for the competition for the Genius List!"
After a while, Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulders slightly and looked into the distance again.
"Brother Ye, may I ask one more question? As a formation master, how many levels of formations can you arrange now?"
Returning to the original topic, Gu Dao's expression became calm again.
"Let's just go to Level 2!"
But listening to Ye Xiao sighing, he was obviously ashamed that he could only deploy the second level formation at present.
"Level 2?" Hearing this, Gu Dao showed a thoughtful look, "Brother Ye, to be honest, if you can arrange a level 3 formation and combine it with the power of spiritual fire, you may be able to fight against Xu Lian. !”
"I have considered this, but now I am not even proficient in the only second-level formation I have learned. It may not be easy to master the third-level formation in half a month!"
Ye Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's not easy, won't you know if you try it? Let me tell you, Brother Ye, you just think too much. You have to take action before you make a conclusion!"
Feeling that Ye Xiao was not confident enough, Gu Dao raised his eyebrows and spoke in disapproval.
"Brother Gu Dao taught you a lesson!"
After Gu Dao finished speaking, Ye Xiao became even more embarrassed, feeling that what Gu Dao said did not make sense.
It's just that Ye Xiao has been practicing formations in the Destruction Spirit Ring. Firstly, the environment in the Spirit Ring is quiet enough to allow him to concentrate completely. Secondly, the Destruction Spirit Ring is safe, no matter where he is. No matter how much noise is made inside, no one else will know.
As if being awakened by Gu Dao's words, Ye Xiao was determined to learn the third-level formation, and he did not delay. He made an appointment with Gu Dao, Shangguan Rou and Yaoyue to say a simple farewell, and then hurried back to the God Clan and entered the Spiritual Ring. , the retreat began.
As for Muxue and Shen Qianshan, they also had spiritual rings because Ye Xiao wanted to go into seclusion.
And it has to be said that the effect of the Destruction Spirit Ring is still remarkable. Although compared to the outside world, Ye Xiao only stayed in the Celestial Clan for half a month, but more than several years have passed in the Destruction Spirit Ring.
During this unequal period of time, both Mu Xue and Shen Qianshan's cultivation levels broke through to the transformation realm, which made them quite happy.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, in the spiritual ring, Ye Xiao was sitting cross-legged on a cluster of mountain tops, with thunder and lightning roaring above his head.
As he took out a series of seals in his hand and shot them into the air, thunder and lightning also circled down and struck him squarely.
Seeing more and more thunder and lightning falling, cracks appeared on the surface of Ye Xiao's body, and blood overflowed from the cracks, turning him into a bloody man.
Although during this retreat, Ye Xiao mainly studied formations, but before that, he still did not forget to practice the World-Destroying Thunder Technique taught to him by the World-Destroying Heavenly Lord.
Speaking of which, due to various reasons, he stopped practicing the World-Destroying Lightning Technique after his cultivation reached the middle stage of Guixu Realm. Now that he is practicing, on the one hand, after his breakthrough in cultivation, he really wants to see what he can do now.
How many lightning strikes can it withstand.
On the other hand, it was because he was about to learn a special third-level formation called Futian Thunder Fire Formation.
The reason why it is special is that this formation requires the practitioner's own thunder and fire to be activated.
Since he possesses spiritual fire, Ye Xiao is not worried about the element of fire. What he lacks right now is just the thunder and lightning accumulated in his body.
"Wow!"
Under the pull of Ye Xiao's thunder method, thunder and lightning in the sky fell one after another. If you look closely, there are hundreds of them, either a single surprise attack or a group siege.
When the last bolt of lightning struck down, there was no intact part of Ye Xiao's body. The tendons and veins in his body were twisted, the joints were dislocated, and the aura he exuded was much weaker than when he had just practiced the world-destroying thunder method.
As the destructive power of thunder and lightning dissipated from his body, and nourished by traces of milky white light, the scars on his body healed, and his vitality became stronger.
"After my cultivation has reached the middle stage of Guixu Realm, my body can withstand hundreds of lightning strikes!"
When the injuries caused by the lightning bombardment were completely recovered, countless milky white light spots disappeared into the spirit lake, and Ye Xiao's eyes could not help but scatter wisps of lightning.
The surge of power in his body only made him feel that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
At this time, looking at its divine core, one can also see tiny streaks of thunder and lightning. There is no doubt that these thunder and lightning are accumulated after practicing the world-destroying thunder method.
"There is enough thunder and lightning and spiritual fire. In this case, it should be possible to activate the Futian Thunder Fire Formation!"
Feeling the surge of thunder and lightning on the surface of the divine core, Ye Xiao put on a set of clean clothes, held a divine pen in hand, and focused all his energy on setting up the Futian thunder and fire array.
Although this Futian Thunder Fire Formation is only a third-level formation, in terms of the formation patterns that make up it, there are tens of thousands of them, compared to what Ye Xiao could have laid out with hundreds of formation patterns before.
The array of dragons roaring and tigers roaring was more than a hundred times more numerous.
Generally speaking, ordinary third-level formations can often be laid out with thousands of formation patterns. However, the Futian Thunder Fire Formation actually requires tens of thousands of formation patterns, and can even be combined with some to form a fourth-level formation.
The number of patterns is quite the same, so although it is only a third-level formation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pseudo-fourth-level formation.
As for why Ye Xiao chose a special third-level formation like the Futian Thunder Fire Formation instead of other formations, it was because the Futian Thunder Fire Formation perfectly suited him.
As the main factors that activate the Futian Formation, thunder and fire are also the main means of attacking the formation.
To put it bluntly, the Futian Thunder Fire Array is like a perfect magnifying glass, but it magnifies not only the thunder and fire that activate it, but more importantly, the power of the two.
Spiritual fire is also fire, but it is more special than ordinary flames.
In Ye Xiao's view, if thunder and lightning and spiritual fire are used to activate the Futian Thunder Fire Formation, the power that the formation can exert will definitely be brought to a higher level.
let's start!
After being prepared, Ye Xiao took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and with the movement of the divine pen in his hand, he began to draw the structure of the Futian Thunder Fire Formation in his mind.
