Chapter 257： Innate Array Master

Chapter 257: Natural Array Master

Fei Gang, who was sitting opposite Xu Jun, had already changed his expression before Xu Jun reached the formation flag.

At this time, his eyes were even more suspicious.

it turns out…

Success?

If Xu Jun pulled out all thirty-six battle flags, or pulled out half of them before succeeding, Fei Gang would never be surprised or surprised.

Because there are only so many formation flags, even if it is a lottery, there is still a half chance.

But, one side!

Xu Jun only pulled out a formation flag and cracked the spirit-locking formation.

Facing Xu Jun's smile, Fei Gang's breathing seemed to be stagnant, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "The sword is really powerful. This formation flag is the main flag of this formation."

Xu Jun returned the main flag to Fei Gang with a smile.

Fei Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "Jianzi, can you try again?"

"Okay, you can try a few more times." Xu Jun said nonchalantly.

The clear heart of the sword can break you once, and naturally it can break you thousands of times. Xu Jun has no fear.

Fei Gang waved the main flag in his hand and shouted: "Take it."

In an instant, the remaining thirty-six formation flags all rose up from the ground and flew towards him, as if they had received an order.

And Fei Gang threw the main flag in his hand into the sky.

Suddenly, thirty-six formation flags were mixed together. The flagpole swayed and the flags flew, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to distinguish one from another.

Xu Jun smiled slightly, naturally understanding his intention, so he no longer raised his head, but put his hands on his back. He did not release his consciousness and the sword's heart, but waited silently.

A few minutes later, Fei Gang gave a soft drink and flicked his wrist.

The thirty-six formation flags separated with a "swish", then rearranged and slowly fell to the ground.

Xu Jun could see clearly that the position where the thirty-six formation flags landed was completely different from before. Obviously, Fei Gang has changed the formation.

The next moment, a large amount of spiritual power disappeared, and it turned into that half-dead appearance again.

Xu Jun secretly admired Fei Gang for being one of the few second-level formation masters in the sect.

The same formation, the same effect, but the distribution of the formation flags is completely different. This kind of formation ability has gone beyond rote memorization, but has reached the point of learning and applying.

No wonder he is so famous and was named by the sect master to guide him. He is indeed a worthy scholar despite his great reputation.

However, with a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, the sword's heart shone brightly.

The routines of the thirty-six formation flags are all in my heart.

Xu Jun had experience this time and did not let Fei Gang wait any longer. Instead, he walked directly over to the main flag and reached out to pull it out.

"call."

The main flag was pulled out, the spirit-locking formation dispersed, and a large amount of spiritual power surged, returning to normal.

This time Fei Gang finally believed that Jianzi was not a blind cat who caught a dead mouse last time, but found the main flag with his true skills.

But how can a beginner do it?

Fei Gang took a deep breath and said, "Jianzi, how did you determine the location of the main flag?"

Xu Jun didn't hide it. He wanted to learn other people's special skills. If he wanted to hide it, he might as well not learn it.

"Senior Brother Fei, I sensed it using the transparency of the sword's heart."

"The sword's heart is transparent?" Fei Gang looked like he was lying to me: "Jianzi, in our Qinglian Sword Sect, although there are not many people with the sword's heart being transparent, there are at least a few. But they don't have you. It’s a copy thing.”

"Well..." Xu Jun frowned and said, "Maybe my sword's heart is a little different."

Indeed, Xu Jun has known since he was a child that there seems to be something different about his sword's clear heart.

Especially for energy gathering points, his perception is extremely strong, incredibly strong. However, how should we explain this talent to others?

However, Fei Gang was just stunned for a while before he accepted it with peace of mind.

Also, if Xu Jun is just like ordinary people, how can he be worthy of the name of Swordsman.

"Jianzi, since you have such a powerful perception ability, that's great." Fei Gang's voice was a little excited: "Come, let's go to the core of the mountain's protective formation and see what you can sense."

Although Xu Jun felt that this move was a bit inappropriate, when he thought about it, what he perceived was not the sect's mountain-protecting formation, but just the protective formation of a small mountain.

Since it has no impact on the formation, there is nothing to be afraid of.

So, he let go of his spiritual consciousness and the clarity of his sword's heart.

Before learning the knowledge of formations, although Xu Jun often released his spiritual consciousness and the sword's heart became clear, he never considered formations.

But now, when he concentrated on exploring, he suddenly sensed many things that he had never noticed before.

Protective array!

This one has not been activated, it is just a hidden protective formation of only one level, which can be said to be the lowest level among all protective formations.

However, the range it covers has exceeded the limit of spiritual consciousness of monk Xu Jun in the foundation building stage.

However, within the scope of his spiritual consciousness, combined with the transparency of the sword's heart and the superficial knowledge of the formations he had learned, Xu Jun still faintly sensed many things.

"Senior Brother Fei, look here, here, here..."

As Xu Jun pointed out each node with ease, Fei Gang's expression gradually became brighter.

After pondering for a moment, Fei Gang said: "Jianzi, can you sense the core of this protective formation?"

Xu Jun was silent. He let go of his spiritual consciousness and the sword's heart, and silently sensed it.

To be honest, this protective formation covers a small half of the mountain, and its scope is far larger than that of the spirit-locking formation composed of thirty-six formation flags.

Even if Xu Jun's consciousness is fully released, it can only cover part of it.

However, this part gave him a completely different feeling.

Although the formation has not been activated, as long as this formation exists, there will be traces of abnormalities left behind.

Xu Jun sensed it silently for a long time and discovered something unusual.

Wisps of characteristic energy are floating in the formation, and there are also subtle connections between each node.

As long as it is activated, it is guaranteed that all the nodes can be connected in series.

And the anomaly he discovered was the source of these nodes, where the first ray of power lies.

However, this power was obviously beyond the scope of his consciousness.

Xu Jun moved slightly and hurried away in the direction of the source.

Fei Gang followed behind him, but his expression was extremely shocked and wonderful.

Finally, Xu Jun stopped and said, "Senior Brother Fei, it should be here."

Fei Gang raised his head and glanced at him silently. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Jianzi, our sect's talent in formation is probably that no one can surpass you."

Xu Jun was startled, then laughed dumbly, and said: "Senior Brother Fei, thank you. I only slightly understood the book, but it is still far from a true understanding. Moreover, I heard that the real talents of formations, they After seeing the basic formation, I can use it flexibly, but I am far behind."

Fei Gang gave a wry smile and said: "Jianzi is too modest. If you look at the understanding of the battle path alone, Jianzi may not be the first person. However, in terms of sensing the aura nodes and searching for the source of the aura, even the Jindan Master Uncle , I’m afraid it’s not as good as yours.”

He looked solemn and said: "As for us formation mages, whether we want to set up or break the formation, the most difficult thing is to find the right or key position. As long as we can find the source and the corresponding nodes, It can be said that the formation is completed or half broken. "

Xu Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, I can find nodes very quickly?"

"Yes, not only can you find nodes quickly, but you can also sense the source of the flow of spiritual power. This is the most rare thing." Fei Gang sighed and said: "If you learn the formation, you will have solved the most critical problem. All you need to do is remember how to set up or break the formation, and then execute it step by step."

Fei Gang was filled with emotions.

There are thousands of terrains in the world, and no one is exactly the same.

As a formation master, if you want to maximize the power of the formation, you need to use the spiritual power of the earth veins and the power of the nodes everywhere.

How to find these places is the most critical.

And Jianzi, before he learned the formation, was able to find it at will.

This is simply a natural formation master.

Fei Gang said sincerely: "Jianzi has this talent. If he learns the method of formation, it will make a thousand miles. Maybe... there is hope for the fourth level."

After hearing this, Xu Jun was silent for a long time and said: "Brother Fei, please teach me from the beginning and don't skip the basics."

Fei Gang nodded immediately and said: "Yes, don't worry Jianzi, I will go all out and don't dare to hide anything."

In this way, March in the world of swordsmanship has passed by in the blink of an eye.

…

…

In the small villa, Xu Jun jumped up.

Today's two hours of breathing out spiritual energy have passed. Xu Jun looked at the calendar and found that it had been a full week since he last left Baiyi Branch.

This week, Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

He went to the kendo projection world every day. When Xu Jun was learning kendo, Xu Jun was not idle either, learning the method of breaking formations together.

Yes, this is Fei Gang's teaching method.

In the three months since the formation was broken, Kendo Xu Jun has broken through at least twenty first-order formations in the projection world.

Some of these formations are very large, and some are smaller. They are all formations set up by the Qinglian Sword Sect over countless years.

Of course, since it is a first-order formation, it is conceivable that the protection is not worth the danger. Kendo Xu Jun was so powerful that he almost conquered all the first-level formations in the sect.

But now, after Xu Jun woke up, he had also digested the little knowledge of sword formation that Xu Jun had mastered.

At this time, recalling the "Preliminary Interpretation of Formation Dao" he saw that day in his mind, Xu Jun found that everything was so simple.

The formation methods of the two worlds are actually slightly different.

But, fundamentally speaking, it's still the same thing.

Formation is like mathematics. Even though they are two different civilizations, they have different languages, habits and customs.

However, when it comes to the use of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, one is one and two is two. At most, the names are different, but the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are generally the same.

Therefore, when Xu Jun can master some of the magic of formations in another world and put them into the Immortal Alliance, he will no longer be a novice in formations.

After tidying up, Xu Jun stood up and headed towards the Baiyi Branch again. ,

…

…

Since the Baiyi Branch is called Baiyi, there must be a reason for it. There are many branches in it, whether popular or not, but at least the most basic inheritance is preserved. And in every corner of the branch, there are countless formations.

Among them, the Spirit Gathering Array occupies the absolute majority.

Although the caves in the branch cannot exceed the fifth-level caves where the dean is located, when it comes to where there are clusters of first- and second-level caves in Rainbow City, this is definitely the only place.

In addition, there is a large open space in the right corner of the branch, called the Formation Corner.

Thirteen illusion formations were arranged in the open space.

These illusion formations are mainly of the first level, and they are all arranged by the branch formation formation students in their free time.

The first-level array mage arranges ten first-level illusion arrays, and the second-level array mage arranges three second-level illusion arrays.

The reason why these formations are arranged is to prove one's achievements in formations and to faintly challenge other companions.

If you have the ability, come and choose the formation I have arranged!

Generally speaking, the total number of students in the 20th class of Daogong is just over 20,000.

Among the more than 20,000 students, there are only a few hundred people who are interested in battle method, are willing to study seriously as a minor subject, and can achieve certain achievements before graduation.

Compared with other arts, although formation is one of the great ways, it is too difficult, so after all, there are many people who choose to take it.

That is to say, it is only in a place like the Dao Palace where all the talents from all over the world can come together that it is possible for such a proportion of Formation Dao students to be born.

Among these more than a hundred students, most are first-order array mages.

The number of second-level array mages will never exceed ten. Even if someone is promoted to the second level, some will graduate and leave, so throughout the ages, the total number will definitely not exceed ten.

The corner of the formation is a sacred place in the hearts of all students, and not all students are qualified to set up formations there.

Only the top ten in the first level and the top three in the second level in the annual exam are qualified to set up the illusion formation in the corner of the formation, and then invite the rest of the students to enter the broken formation.

In the next natural year, whoever's illusion formation is broken the least times will be the undisputed number one in the hearts of the students.

Of course, the organizer of the phantom formation can enter the improved phantom formation at any time, and the number of challenges other students can have is also limited.

Each person only has the opportunity to challenge one magic array in one natural month.

Therefore, although the top ten formation master students are honored and have corresponding benefits, they are not easy to become.

At this time, Xu Jun entered the Baiyi Branch and came straight to the corner of the array.

This place is extremely famous, and challenging the magic array is one of the inheritance projects of the Tao Palace, and it is not limited to array master students.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one except the formation master students would be willing to come here to humiliate themselves.

Because, in the phantom formation, force is not allowed to be used to destroy it.

There are only two ways to prove that you have cracked the illusion array.

One is to enter the phantom formation, then use your own knowledge of the formation to make inferences, and then come out of it.

Secondly, it is even more difficult.

The main eye of the phantom array must be found. As long as the main eye is removed, the phantom array will collapse on its own.

However, it is extremely rare for formation masters who can do the second method. Even those who break the formation mostly come with the first method.

The thirteen phantom arrays are clearly distinguished, and each phantom array covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters.

A magic array can be laid out in such an area, and it can also trap people.

It can only be said that none of the top ten Daogong Formation Master students are in vain.

Xu Jun looked at them one by one and quickly distinguished three second-level ones and ten first-level ones.

Under the transparent heart of the sword, the level of spiritual power concentration of the second-level phantom array is obviously one level higher than that of the first-level magic array.

And among these ten first-order phantom formations, the degree of concentration of spiritual power is also different.

Using spiritual power concentration to infer the power of an array... This method is definitely not comprehensive, but if it is the same type of phantom array, then it can be used as a reference.

Xu Jun came to the illusion formation with the lowest concentration of spiritual power. He took a deep breath and walked in.

The moment he entered, Xu Jun felt a faint resistance.

He knew that this was the protective measure of the illusion array. If someone entered by mistake and sensed this power, they would definitely retreat.

But Xu Jun came here just to break into the formation. With a stroke of his hand, he immediately cut away the obstacle, and then stepped into it.

…

…

In the Five Elements Branch, Pan Yuqing and Ji Chuchu were discussing formations together.

The former is a woman wearing white clothes with delicate eyebrows, but she looks like she has read a lot of poetry.

She is a student of the Five Elements Branch who majors in the wood department and minors in the formation method. She is now at the ninth level of Qi training and a first-level formation mage.

The latter is a girl wearing a blue dress with a delicate temperament.

However, if anyone thinks that she is a weakling, they are totally wrong.

Ji Chuchu is a student in the Five Elements Branch who majors in the water system and minors in the formation method. He has been practicing Qi Dzogchen and a first-level formation master as early as a year ago.

Moreover, in the formation master assessment at the end of last semester, she also achieved the eighth overall score among first-level formation masters.

The two of them majored in immortal arts at the Five Elements Branch, and they were both formation masters, so they naturally became good friends.

At this time, the two of them were holding a formation and discussing with each other.

Suddenly, Ji Chuchu stopped. She turned her head slightly and looked into the distance. Her eyes were a little blurry and a little sharp, forming an extremely contradictory feeling.

Pan Yuqing was indeed her good friend, and she understood immediately upon meeting him.

"Chu Chu, someone is breaking into your illusion array again?"

"Yes." Ji Chuchu turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's continue."

Array Master students have the opportunity to challenge once a month. Some people know that their knowledge reserves are insufficient and do not want to waste time.

But some people are unwilling to give up this opportunity, even if they know that they will definitely lose, they still want to choose a fantasy formation to challenge.

Of course, there are also true masters of formation who accidentally fail in the final exam. Therefore, they regarded challenging the phantom formation as the greatest pleasure in their daily life.

In twelve months of the year, they have to clear all the magic formations.

After Ji Chuchu set up the illusion formation, there were countless challengers in the past few months. If she wanted to care about everyone, then she would not do anything.

Pan Yuqing nodded slightly and said: "Okay, let's continue..." She stretched out her pink and pink hands, nodded on the array diagram, and said: "I have measured it. If the terrain remains unchanged, then in this Only by arranging nodes with coordinates can the efficiency be improved to..."

Ji Chuchu listened carefully at first, but after only five minutes, she said "Huh" and stood up.

Pan Yuqing raised her head, looked at her friend's uncertain eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? That one who broke into the formation is very powerful?"

Ji Chuchu nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed very powerful. He followed the node line of my formation and touched the main formation eye."

"Ah, didn't you deceive him with the tricks you arranged midway?"

Ji Chuchu said in a deep voice: "No, this guy is very powerful. He didn't fall for any of the deceptions I laid out. He seemed to have already known where my main formation eye was, so he rushed straight away. It’s over.”

"No way." Pan Yuqing exclaimed.

The magic array arranged by her friend was so powerful, but she was the first one to try it.

It took a full three hours for her to walk out reluctantly.

A place of two hundred square meters, even though she was also an array master, it took her three hours to escape.

This result can only be regarded as barely passing.

But at this time, someone was able to determine the location of the formation's eye within five minutes of entering the formation...

This is a place she couldn't find even after three hours of searching!

At this moment, Pan Yuqing was really shocked.

Ji Chuchu stamped her feet vigorously and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

"good."

Without saying anything, the two girls tidied up and walked together.

After leaving the Five Elements Branch, they each flew towards the Baiyi Branch.

However, just when they were halfway through the flight, Ji Chuchu learned through the eyeliner left in the formation that her main eye of the phantom formation had been removed.

In other words, the illusion formation she had worked so hard to set up had been cracked.

Ji Chuchu bit her teeth lightly, her face slightly red.

Being able to walk out of her illusion array in a few hours is an average level among Daogong array mage students.

However, it took ten minutes to find the main eye in the phantom array and remove it...

Ji Chuchu couldn't think of any of the first-level formation mage students who had this ability.

Could it be that the one who entered the formation this time was not a first-level formation mage, but a certain second-level student?

Only second-level formation mages have such terrifying strength and can determine the location of the main formation eye in a very short period of time.

However, even if a second-level array mage has nothing to do after having a full meal, he will only look for the second-level illusion array to ponder. How can he cause trouble for himself?

The flight was very fast, and they hurried on with all their strength. When they arrived at Baiyi Branch, it only took a few minutes.

When I came to the corner of the array, I immediately saw a young man with his hands behind his back, staring at a certain illusion array.

"Guan Shengqiang? Why are you here?" Pan Yuqing exclaimed.

This man is also one of the formation master students. During the assessment last semester, he ranked ninth in the first level, only one place lower than Ji Chuchu. He also obtained the qualification to set up formations here.

He glanced at Pan Yuqing and said solemnly: "I was studying the formation just now, and suddenly I felt someone was breaking into the illusion formation I arranged." He paused, seemed to hesitate, and then said: "So, I came here to take a look. "

Ji Chuchu's heart moved slightly.

Generally speaking, even if they sense it, they will ignore it.

So, coming in such a hurry now...

Ji Chuchu suddenly asked: "Guan Shengqiang, did the trespasser head towards the main formation as soon as he entered the formation, and was he able to successfully avoid various traps and deceptions along the way?"

Guan Shengqiang was startled and said, "Yes, how do you know?"

Ji Chuchu bit her teeth lightly and said slowly: "Because, I... am the same way."
