The first thousand four hundred and seventy-four chapters of the two factions
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yang would actually take the retro path of Universal Array Chess!" Immortal Master Fu Zhen sighed slightly.
Yang Junshan asked in surprise with a hint of uneasiness: "Retro? Is there a new method of formation deduction in formation cultivation? So which of the two methods is better?"
In Yang Junshan's view, everything is moving forward, even spiritual practice. Regardless of methods or methods, they are always innovating and bringing out the old. Not all old things are good, but new methods are often more suitable for the monks themselves.
.
Immortal Fu Zhen seemed to understand Yang Junshan's worries, and smiled and said: "The method of formation deduction may have changed, but the way of formation remains unchanged, whether it is the retro formation practice method, or
Today's methods can't be said to be better or worse. The quality only depends on whether they are suitable for the formation cultivator itself. Even now in Heluo Star Palace, there are still many retro-style formation cultivators. Of course, compared to
In terms of today's formation cultivation methods, their number has become extremely small."
Hearing this, Yang Junshan quickly asked: "So what kind of practice methods do the formation cultivators in Heluo Star Palace usually use now?"
As he said that, Yang Junshan glanced at Immortal Fu Zhen's Bagua Mirror again and said: "Isn't the formation deduction technique used by fellow Taoist Fu Zhen a retro approach?"
Fu Zhenxianzun smiled and said: "It is true, Fu's formation practice is not a retro style."
Having said that, Fu Zhenxianzun did not explain in further detail, but asked Yang Junshan: "Dare to ask fellow Taoist Yang, which lineage of formation path practice are you most good at?"
The Tao of Formation can be said to be all-encompassing, broad and profound. However, if we really want to look at it from an overall perspective, or trace back to its origins, it can be roughly divided into nine major lines, also called nine major sources of formation, and they are as follows
One Yuan, Two Instruments, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Liuhe, Seven Stars, Bagua, and Nine Palaces.
The formation has evolved in countless ways, but it always remains true to its roots and cannot escape these nine threads.
Among formation mages, this is almost common knowledge, whether inside or outside the territory. Immortal Fu Zhen asked, and Yang Junshan naturally understood.
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said: "I am the best at the Five Elements. Well, I also know a little about the Sancai Formation. In order to practice magical powers, I rarely dabbled in the Liangyi. Well, in recent years, in order to
He is able to deduce fairyland formations, but he is quite knowledgeable about the Seven Stars—"
After talking about it, even Yang Junshan himself laughed. He probably understood the purpose of Fu Zhenxian Lord's inquiry, so he smiled and said: "It seems that my research on the formation is too messy."
After that, Yang Junshan pondered a little and said: "It is complex but not refined. The key to formation lies in a perfect system. Specialization means that the formation system built must be rigorous. It is rigorous but has few loopholes. It has few loopholes and is difficult to crack."
Immortal Fu Zhen, however, had an expression that was taken for granted and said: "The formation masters of the retro school follow this path. Although their formation practice seems to be complicated, they are actually able to accumulate a lot of experience."
Yang Junshan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy to accumulate so much knowledge, right?"
Fu Zhenxian Zun smiled and said: "That's true. Even if a monk can enjoy the fruit of immortality, he may not have the energy to exhaust the nine sources of the Formation Dao. What's more, the beginning of Formation Dao practice is mostly when the monks are young.
, At that time, immortality had not been achieved, and life and death could last only a few hundred years. It was like a fleeting moment, and I had to catch a glimpse of the formation path again? How about specializing in one of the nine sources of the formation path, reaching the very high bottleneck, and then returning to repair the foundation?
, although it will be more difficult to achieve a breakthrough, at least it can save a lot of time on one's own cultivation. If you can take advantage of this to achieve immortality, you will have to spend dozens of times and ten times the time and energy to break this bottleneck, so what?
"
Yang Junshan nodded unconsciously after hearing the words. The path of formations has no boundaries, but before a person achieves immortality, his life has limits. It is difficult to pursue the endless path of formations in his lifetime.
However, Fu Zhenxianzun's way of cultivating the Formation Dao is based on specializing in one of the Formation Dao lines, pursuing the Immortal Dao of Immortality as much as possible, and then turning around to make up for the foundation, and finally mastering and mastering the Formation Dao.
territory.
To put it more simply, it is nothing more than a question of difficult first and then easy and first easy and then difficult. Yang Junshan, a retro sect of the Formation Dao lineage, takes the path of first difficult and then easy, and Fu Zhenxianzun represents
However, formation cultivators take the easy path first and then the difficult path.
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said: "So according to what Fellow Taoist Fu said, where is the bottleneck for the final integration? Is it the Immortal Formation?"
Immortal Lord Fu Zhen nodded first, then sighed slightly and said: "The Immortal Formation is just the beginning of integration!"
Seeing Yang Junshan's look of astonishment, Fu Zhenxianzun asked again: "Does Fellow Daoist Yang know the way to practice Fu's Formation Tao?"
Without waiting for Yang Junshan's response, Fu Zhenxianzun continued: "Fu was quite talented in the art of formations at first. He had already set up the Bagua Taoist formation not long after he first entered the Taoist realm. However, he was finally able to set up the immortal formation after ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Eight hundred years later, when Fu Mou was reshaping his immortal body and setting foot on the Golden Immortal, he suddenly had an enlightenment in his heart. He finally integrated what he had learned in formation Taoism for more than a thousand years, and finally set up the Bagua Immortal Formation."
Yang Junshan felt strange when he heard this. The progress of Fu Zhenxian Zun and the formation method was quite consistent with Yang Junshan's. When the Five Elements Thunder Light Tao Formation was first formed, it was when he condensed the soul to advance.
The time of the situation.
Now, although Yang Junshan has not laid out the Immortal Formation, in fact, the Immortal Formation has already been deduced and formed in his formations, and the layout of the Zhoutian World is nearing completion. All that is left is the last opportunity.
Although it seems to be a little later than Fu Zhenxianzun, don't forget that Yang Junshan is now outside the territory and cannot personally participate in the improvement of the Yang family's formation. More importantly, Yang Junshan's departure is
The path to physical sanctification directly crosses the Yuanshen Immortal Realm. If calculated carefully, it is actually 800 years earlier than the Immortal Formation of Immortal Fu Zhen was formed!
That's not all. Don't forget that the time it took for Yang Junshan to go from his place of cultivation to the time he finally ascended to immortality was only more than three hundred years. How many years did Fu Zhenxian Master waste before he ascended to immortality?
Naturally, Yang Junshan would not compare these things with others, but he praised him: "Yang was trapped in Zhoutian world, but he sat in a well and looked at the sky, and his achievements in the formation of Taoist friends were probably achieved in Heluo
Real cultivation holy places like Xing Palace are also extremely clever!"
Fu Zhenxian Zun smiled rather reservedly and said: "It's not bad at all. I'm not too far behind others."
After that, he said half-promptly and half-enviously: "However, Fellow Daoist Yang's attainments in formations are also extremely profound. Although he is only in the realm of a grand master now, he has already dabbled in the immortal formations quite deeply, and he has accumulated a lot of knowledge in the deduction techniques of the ancient school.
, I think it won’t be too far to break the bottleneck and get the Immortal Formation diagram that belongs to fellow Taoist."
Yang Junshan smiled and said, "I'd like to thank you for your kind words!"
After saying that, Yang Junshan asked for advice again: "What my Taoist friend just said requires the final integration of all the major formation sources, but the Immortal Formation is just the beginning. What is the meaning of this statement? Could it be that above the Immortal Formation,
Are there any more powerful formation realms?"
"The formation path has no end!"
Fu Zhenxian Zun first sighed slightly, and then said: "Do you know which one is more powerful among formation masters with the same level of formation, the formations set up by the ancient lineage, or the formations set up by the specialized lineage?"
Yang Junshan was slightly startled and said: "The way of formation, if the realm is the same, the power is difficult to determine. Isn't it difficult to say?"
Immortal Fu Zhen nodded and said: "Although the power of the formation is related to the level of the people who set it up, it is actually restricted by factors such as the equipment for setting up the formation, the terrain environment, the people in the main formation, and even changes in the celestial phenomena.
It’s hard to tell which one is stronger.”
"But," Immortal Master Fu Zhen suddenly changed his tone and said: "Heluo Star Palace has conducted many tests. Although the two factions have won and lost each other, in fact, when the ancient lineage has equal attainments in formations,
The winning rate is often close to 70%, and the higher the level of the formation, the more powerful the retro-line formation is. Why do you think so?"
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said: "The retro-style formation masters can be more flexible in the deduction of formations. They have a wider choice of derived formations. They don't have to stick to a certain formation source context, and they can also adapt to a variety of constraints.
"
Immortal Master Fu Zhen clapped his hands and said, "That's right. It's true. Fellow Daoist Yang's knowledge of the formation really surprised Fu."
Yang Junshan repeatedly won the award, but Fu Zhenxian Zun said again: "However, the formation of the retro school usually takes a long time, the formation layout is more complicated, and a lot of money is spent on the spiritual materials and equipment used in the formation.
In contrast, formation masters who specialize in one lineage can often use more economical resources to construct simpler formations, and for non-formation masters, they are relatively simple to operate, even if the formation is damaged.
, it is also much simpler and cheaper to repair, so the ones who are truly welcomed by all forces are often the formation masters who specialize in one lineage."
If Yang Junshan had some enlightenment, he said: "Yang has been taught."
Immortal Lord Fu Zhen nodded, and continued: "But when it comes to setting up immortal formations, the people who seek them are often big forces, big ethnic groups, and big sects. Their requirements for the formations are naturally perfect, and they have no shortage of them.
There is no shortage of spiritual material resources, and there is even no shortage of formation masters for the main formation. We are not afraid that the formation will take a long time, and we are not afraid that the maintenance and repair of the formation will be expensive. But at this time, the most popular ones are the formation masters of the retro lineage."
"This is not the most important thing," Immortal Lord Fu Zhen continued: "What really makes the magicians who specialize in one-line array have to make changes before the immortal array is that the immortal array they set up is limited to the source of the one-line array.
Among them, not only is the power of the formations no longer comparable to the Immortal Formations of the retro lineage, but the gap in the power of the formations has also widened to an unacceptable level."
"If, before the level of the formation reaches the fairyland, the formation master who specializes in one lineage can still occupy a 30% to 40% winning rate under the same level of formation, then in the competition of the fairy formation, the retro lineage
The winning rate is almost 89%."
"As for the difference in power between the two Immortal Formations, it is difficult to compare, but Fu Mou can give an example to Fellow Daoist Yang. For example, the Immortal Formation that Fellow Daoist Yang once saw in the Star Cliff Land is actually
It was set up by an array master who specializes in the seven-star array, and that array can be called the fairy array with the lowest threshold!"
While the two were discussing formation methods, of course, it was Yang Junshan who most often asked for advice, while Immortal Fu Zhen gave instructions, but they never failed to capture the weak links in the barrier of the nine-day world.
But at this moment, Immortal Fu Zhen's Bagua Mirror was the first to make a discovery. After a ray of mirror light penetrated the mist of the canyon, wrinkles like waves suddenly appeared in the mirror light.
"Ha, this time it's Fu who takes the lead!" Immortal Fu Zhen gestured to Yang Junshan.
