Chapter 417
Adept Formation Caster
“Wh-!” Greater Heaven Caster Lu jumped to his feet, unable to believe his test for Greater Heaven Stage disciples that he spent two days casting was beaten already.
Mu Yu held out eighty-one formation cores in both hands. “All I had to do was remove the formation foundations.”
“But... but how did you locate them? Not even other formation casters would be able to find them so easily. How did y-...”
Mistake: placing the formation foundations in trees. Unexpected factor: Xiaoshuai could sniff them out.
“I got lucky enough to find one. Then, I just calculated where the rest were. Had I not found the first one by a stroke of luck, I would not have been able to dismantle it. You truly are adept at formations.”
“I see...” responded Greater Heaven Caster Lu, visibly disappointed that he was schooled instead of the other way around. He quickly regained his spirits and waved his fist with excitement. “Well done! Well done! We’ll destroy Talisman Sect this year!”
Mu Yu really couldn’t get used to Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s mood swings.
“Why did you only solve four hexagrams when you joined? Your grasp of formations is exceptional.”
Mu Yu: A fire illusion formation?! I wonder if I could use formations to create the façade that I am using illusions when I use my wood element ability.
“Our formation casters are all incredible combatants in their own right. As long as your spiritual energy can keep up with the demand, you’ll be able to catch your opponent in your formation, giving you a terrain advantage.” Greater Heaven Caster Lu demonstrated his ability to manipulate the form of his flames and elaborated, “This isn’t a real flame but merely illusions I conjured using my spiritual energy.”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu created fire arrows and launched them into the ether. He was satisfied with Mu Yu astonished reaction for he believed it saved his reputation after Mu Yu easily conquered his illusion formation.
“The foundation of everything you see here is spiritual energy. Therefore, you must progress your cultivation if you wish to execute on my level. I don’t need to tell you about our weakness in drawn-out fights. Were you there when I taught Heaven Stage disciples a few Greater Heaven Stage formations?”
“To tell the truth, I already have Mesmerising Sparrow Returns down pact. The issue is that I do not know how to plant the formation into formation foundations. What is the trick to it?”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu, apparently, expected that much from Mu Yu. Proudly, he expounded, “That requires knowledge of a spatial formation. Besides struggling to fit Greater Heaven Stage formations onto small formation foundations, I presume you expended the formation foundations’ spiritual qi rapidly, correct?”
Mu Yu bobbed his head. He knew something was amiss. After all, if he was burning through formation foundations at that rate, Greater Heaven Caster Lu, whose cultivation surpassed his, should’ve expended spiritual qi even faster.
“You’ll never have enough if you cast Greater Heaven Stage formations via your normal means. The first thing Greater Heaven Stage disciples must do when learning Greater Heaven Stage formations is learning to control the spiritual qi in formation foundations. Spirit Drawing Formation can help you save your formation foundations’ spiritual qi. Spirit Collection Formation can replenish the lost spiritual qi, allowing you to use Greater Heaven Stage formations multiple times.”
Being able to repeatedly use Greater Heaven Stage formations after a formation foundation was exhausted was news.
