Chapter 193: Building the Formation
According to Yi Chen’s design, the construction of the formation uses the law seals as engines that can convert energy into various powers of the laws.
By connecting and combining these law seals, they form the functions of the formation.
It sounds easy, but doing it is still quite challenging.
Just like the pathway of energy circulation in skills, it allows spirit power to flow through various acupuncture points, creating special energy.
However, the human body has many acupuncture points, and the spirit power flowing through different points can have different effects.
Factors such as sequence and quantity can cause spirit power to enter the acupuncture points and produce varied results, leading to countless changes.
The same applies to formations, but its advantage is that the number of law seals needed is already determined.
The downside is that the number of law seals can be quite large.
Even Yi Chen’s first planned formation, which is simply a defensive formation, requires up to forty-three law seals in total.
Forty-three law seals can generate countless combinations and plans.
Yi Chen’s mind began to work like a high-speed computer, continually combining these law seals.
Of course, the most important aspect comes from the intuition and foresight brought by his unique talent.
No matter how fast his thinking speed or combination speed is, he must first understand the reactions that will occur when the law seals are combined.
Just as the Federation of Humanity possesses the most powerful technological civilization but cannot create operational diagrams for their skills,
Even the most powerful computer needs data on the effects produced by spirit power entering various acupuncture points.
Only by mastering this data can calculations and combinations be carried out.
The different sequences, quantities, and insights of spirit power entering various acupuncture points generate countless variations, which form the basic data.
Only by fully mastering this basic data can advanced computing abilities instantly deduce countless combinations.
The role of talent lies in the ability to rely on intuition and foresight without needing this basic data, gradually narrowing down the range of combinations through multiple attempts.
Soon, Yi Chen devised a rough combination idea.
He took out a dozen spirit stones from his storage ring and ground them into powder for later use.
Then, he picked out one spirit stone and placed it about one meter in front of him.
Next, guided by his constructed formation diagram, he let spirit power surge.
One by one, golden law seals were struck onto the ground.
The forty-three law seals formed a circular pattern about five meters in diameter around him.
Yi Chen took out a bottle containing spirit stone powder, grabbed a handful, and began to draw lines between the spirit stone and the law seals.
The intact spirit stone served as the formation eye.
The formation eye’s role is to control the changes within the formation and provide energy.
The spirit stone powder connecting the law seals functions like wires, conducting energy to the law seals.
With Yi Chen’s current level of strength and understanding of the grand laws, the law seals he constructed cannot yet absorb the surrounding spirit energy.
Even a micro formation with a diameter of only five meters needs to use spirit stone powder to transmit energy.
Once the spirit stone powder connects all the law seals and the formation eye, Yi Chen held the sleeping Little Gold Ball and stepped outside the formation.
The formation Yi Chen envisioned required divine consciousness and spirit power to initiate and control it using a special technique.
It was like the activation password and control command for the formation.
This formation, however, was extremely simple and only had an on and off switch.
With a wave of his hand, he injected spirit power into the formation eye.
The spirit stone shone with a glimmer, and the spirit energy inside began to spill out, flowing through the spirit stone powder into the law seals.
The pace was a bit slow, and the reaction was sluggish.
It wasn’t until two or three seconds later that the golden law seals flickered with golden light and began to operate.
At the edge of the formation, an energy shield formed, barely discernible to the naked eye.
But that was all.
Yi Chen’s divine consciousness entered the energy shield but encountered only a very weak resistance.
Inside the energy shield, there was utter chaos, with various powers of the laws running amok.
Without a doubt, it was a wise decision not to stay within the formation.
Once activated, this defensive formation could barely withstand the attacks of practitioners at the Qi Condensation Stage with the strength of the energy shield.
However, those inside the defensive formation would at least need to be at the Spirit Consciousness stage to barely withstand the chaotic powers of the laws within.
It would make for a decent trap to ambush enemies.
Of course, this required resolving the issues of exposing the spirit stones, spirit stone powder, and law seals.
Among the forty-three law seals, there was an invisible law seal.
This was an essential law seal used in various formations.
With this law seal, the materials used in different formations could become invisible, allowing only the one who set up the formation to know of their existence.
Alternatively, only beings with extremely strong divine consciousness or perception ability could faintly sense it.
At the moment, this law seal clearly had not taken effect.
The various law seals and spirit stone powder were clearly visible.
No fool would voluntarily step into such a formation if it were used as a trap.
Yi Chen first used his divine consciousness to carefully sense the situation inside the formation.
With a wave of his hand, he let a stream of spirit power pass through the not-so-strong energy shield and enter the formation eye.
The entire formation then shut down.
He began to reanalyze and adjust the combinations of the law seals based on the insights he gained after activating the formation.
"Is this a barrier? Is it the powerful barrier the various tribes speak of?"
"That’s impressive! Only the strong from the various tribes can set up a barrier, right?"
"Yi Chen is currently at the first level of the Spirit Law stage, equivalent to around level 60! Even by strength, he can only defeat level 70 fierce beasts, which is about level 70 strength."
"What’s there to be surprised about? This is just a normal operation for Yi Chen. Creating a barrier that only the strong from the various tribes can set up at the first level of the Spirit Law stage isn’t that unusual."
"Now that you mention it, it really doesn’t seem that surprising…"
"A Spirit Law level Chaos Technique, potion making technique, barrier… I can’t stop thinking about the sixth session of skills even before the fifth session has started. It’s driving me to the brink."
"Don’t talk about it; it makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it."
"Right, right, let’s change the topic. Just thinking about when the fifth session of skills will start makes me uneasy."
"And when I think about how the potion making technique to create the Enhancement Pill won’t be taught until the sixth session, I feel like I’m going to break down."
"That’s true. Why don’t we guess what function Yi Chen’s barrier has?"
"It feels like a defensive type because the area of this barrier is too small."
"This defensive barrier can’t be blocking the scanner’s detection, can it?"
"Surely not! A barrier that can block a scanner can only be set up by the strong from various tribes, and it requires a lot of treasures. This newly created defensive barrier from Yi Chen definitely only has the effect of resisting attacks."
"Hearing that should put my mind at ease. But why do I still have a bad feeling?"
"Brothers, learn your lesson. Never say that Yi Chen cannot do something like this. I think we should change the topic again."
"That makes sense!"
If it were just constructing law seals, no one would guess what Yi Chen was doing.
But when these law seals combined and produced special effects, some experienced individuals immediately guessed the general idea.
The audience in the live room, after expressing their astonishment, shifted to sadness and gloom.
Because even if this new skill is incredibly powerful, they would have to wait until the sixth session to learn it from Yi Chen.
Moreover, among the top geniuses of the Flame Mountain Tribe, only a few had broken through to the eighth level of Spirit Consciousness, while most remained at the seventh level.
Then, there were still the ninth level and the Peak of the ninth level of Spirit Consciousness.
According to Yi Chen’s instructions, these top geniuses would need some time off to contemplate life, fulfill their wishes, and enhance their willpower…
It would be hard to wait for less than a year for the fifth session of skill transfers, let alone the sixth session.
Fortunately, the audience had already grown accustomed to this psychological torment.
They quickly adjusted their mindset and eagerly discussed the functions of the formations Yi Chen had newly created.
But not long into the discussion, due to an unfortunate prediction, they changed the topic again.
