Chapter 292 Comprehending the Spirit is arduous breaking the formation is only 3 complete
by SurroundedbyBooksSimilarly, everyone at this moment has entered a state of comprehending the Heavenly Star Six Elements Formation.
Those who understand formations and can discern some of their patterns have already begun to slowly deduce their meaning.
Those who don’t understand formations must start learning from scratch; they absolutely cannot give up!
Only Hua Yuandu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, focusing solely on cultivating his Heavenly Origin Sword Manual and restoring the sword spirit’s origin.
He acted like he didn’t care what anyone did.
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
This Heavenly Star Six Elements Formation is truly vast. Even with the power suppressed to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, these Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and Pseudo-Core cultivators would find it difficult to comprehend.
After five days, no one had gained any insights and stepped forward to try to break the formation.
Yu Xian remained motionless with his eyes closed.
As he pondered the image in his mind repeatedly, he gradually began to pinpoint the location of the magical artifact used to execute the formation, as well as the techniques employed by the figure.
However, the formation was too mysterious, and Yu Xian had a very hard time finding it. After five days, his mind and spirit were severely depleted.
But the rewards were naturally enormous!
His understanding of the Dao of Formations was becoming increasingly clear.
The saying goes, “If you understand one thing, you understand everything.” This Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array is itself an achievement of extremely high array formation skills, integrating offense, defense, control, and even spirit gathering, concealment, illusion arrays, and so on!
Therefore, comprehending it is almost equivalent to learning the entire Dao of Formations.
Clearly, the Void Returning Elder had good intentions, leaving this mark specifically for his successors to comprehend, so that they would not have to spend time painstakingly comprehending it step by step and wasting their own potential.
Of course, if you only have good aptitude but poor comprehension, even if you are given this mark and have a 30% advantage, you still can’t understand it, then there’s nothing that can be done.
This powerful figure would rather see his legacy disappear within the blessed land than raise a fool like a baby!
Yu Xian slowly exhaled and opened her eyes, her gaze filled with exhaustion.
Recalling the formation’s layout, techniques, and tricks is far more difficult than simply looking at a diagram.
This is similar to finding errors in a picture. If you keep staring at the picture, you will naturally find them quickly.
They might let you look at the picture twice, then ask you to close your eyes and recall it, and then find the mistakes in the recalled picture.
That was incredibly difficult!
Of course, this is also because Yu Xian’s cultivation level is too low. If he were in the late Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage, with a strong soul, he would have the ability to remember everything he saw!
Something can be memorized at a glance, and even with eyes closed, it’s as if it’s right in front of you, leaving nothing out.
However, although Yu Xian’s soul strength is much stronger than that of a typical Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator or even a Pseudo-Core cultivator, he has not yet reached the Golden Core stage.
So no matter how hard he tried to remember, the fragments were gradually becoming blurry. In order to keep them from becoming blurry or fading away, he could only try even harder to recall them, which severely depleted his mental energy.
“Brother, are you tired?”
After five days, Hua Yuandu had fully recovered his depleted sword spirit essence. When he saw Yu Xian open his eyes, his gaze was very empty and he was obviously extremely tired, so he couldn’t help but ask a question.
Yu Xian’s eyebrows twitched, her gaze gradually focusing as she slowly turned to look at Hua Yuandu: “I’m tired, why don’t you take over?”
“Hehehe.”
Hua Yuandu chuckled dryly, then straightened his expression and said, “I’m not coming.”
Yu Xian glanced at him, then looked away, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes again.
This time, he simply closed his eyes to rest.
Sharpening your axe won’t delay your woodcutting; excessive mental exertion is harmful in every way. It’s the right way to recover before trying to understand something.
For nourishing the spirit… the first choice is naturally to enter a meditative state.
Sit cross-legged in meditation, think of nothing, empty your mind of everything, as if you are sleeping, but not really sleeping, this is entering samadhi.
Entering a meditative state is currently the fastest way for Yu Xian to recover his spirit.
Before I knew it, another day had passed.
Yu Xian took another deep breath without opening his eyes. With his mind fully focused, he continued to recall the scene of the powerful figure unleashing the great formation.
Even if it’s becoming increasingly blurry, it’s still better than nothing, so we should think about it carefully.
Meanwhile, starting from the sixth day, someone finally made a move.
First, a pseudo-Dan cultivator, with confidence in his eyes, stood up and strode towards the great formation.
This cultivator was one of the two pseudo-core cultivators brought by Gao Yu.
His arrival at the front of the formation immediately attracted the attention of everyone except Yu Xian.
Everyone looked at him, wondering if he could break even one percent of the formation.
If he could, he would get what was inside!
Especially those inheritors, including Hua Yuandu, all revealed a cold glint in their eyes.
Even Gao Yu’s beautiful eyes held a faint hint of icy coldness.
If he breaks through the formation… that will be the moment he dies!
How could he possibly take what’s inside? He’s not even worthy of taking it!
“Senior’s formation is extremely profound. I have studied it for six days and have gained some insights!”
Upon arriving before the great formation, the pseudo-Dan cultivator, knowing full well that the voice was merely a remnant of thought and not a living being, still shouted, “Please correct me, senior!”
After saying that, he raised his hand and made a hand seal. Several streams of spiritual energy rushed out and rushed towards various parts of the great formation, trying to break the formation with the insights gained over the past six days!
Of course, he wasn’t so confident that he could break the entire formation, but if he could break even one percent of it, he would consider it a success!
Sure enough, several streams of spiritual energy entered the great formation. His eyes flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly tried to control the spiritual energy to break through the formation’s weak points.
There is no truly perfect formation in this world.
Even the grand formations supposedly set up by ancient sages and powerful beings, capable of changing the world, have ways to be broken.
Therefore, the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array naturally has many shortcomings, but if your level of understanding is not high enough, you will not be able to see them, or you will see very few of them.
If viewed by experts stronger than those who have reached the Void Returning stage, their discerning eyes would reveal that this formation is riddled with flaws.
However, before the cultivator could feel any joy, he saw that the several streams of spiritual energy that had entered the formation vanished without a trace, having no effect on the formation at all.
The pseudo-Dan cultivator’s gaze sharpened, and he let out another low shout. He then raised his hand and pointed repeatedly, this time sending out seven streams of spiritual energy. Four of them entered the formation, while the other three collided with the formation and dissipated.
“break!”
Four streams of spiritual energy entered the formation and quickly searched for a way to break it. With a shout from the cultivator, they exploded simultaneously!
The cultivator’s face lit up with joy. He figured that the location where he broke the formation must be correct. It was just that his cultivation level was not high enough to break the formation. But if the location was right, he must have broken at least one percent of it.
Unfortunately, he waited for a long time but received no response.
Clearly, he didn’t break through even one percent.
After a long while, he finally sighed, turned around and returned to his seat to continue observing the formation and trying to figure out how to break it.
However, the fact that he was able to send spiritual energy into the formation was already a huge breakthrough.
Next, we will continue searching for the true core and weakness of the formation.
The crowd’s eyes flickered. After watching him for a while, they all looked away and continued to comprehend their own methods of breaking the formation.
Another day has passed.
Two more people got up and tried to break the formation, but the formation remained unmoved. No matter how much spiritual energy they used or what methods they employed, no words came from the sky.
Five more days passed!
Over the past five days, apart from Yu Xian, Hua Yuandu, Yun Buyi, Gao Yu, and Zhou Feng, all the other cultivators have tried to break the formation, but none of them have succeeded. Even the pseudo-core cultivator who started it all tried to break it a third time, but still there was no progress.
This towering and all-encompassing Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array stood like an unshakeable giant peak, blocking everyone’s way!
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Gao Yuxiu blinked slightly and stood up gently.
Although she started from scratch, after fifteen days of studying and comprehending, Gao Yu felt that she had already gained some insights.
Perhaps I am suited to learn the art of array formations, but I was only focused on cultivation and realm before, and didn’t realize it.
After returning home, I must learn the art of formations from my family elders.
Gao Yu’s standing up naturally drew everyone’s attention.
The other two inheritors, in particular, frowned.
Everyone should be learning array formations from scratch, but in just fifteen days, she has already gained some insights?
Is she really that perceptive?
Hua Yuandu watched Gao Yu get up and walk towards the formation. He couldn’t help but look at Gao Yu’s back while turning his head to whisper to Yu Xian, “Hey, are you done yet? That woman has made her move. You know, geniuses like us, if we don’t make a move, fine, but if we do, we have at least a 60% chance of success. If she breaks the formation first, that will be troublesome. It won’t be easy to snatch it.”
Yu Xian’s brow twitched slightly, then returned to normal without opening his eyes.
Seeing that Yu Xian had no reaction, Hua Yuandu could only sigh and wait calmly.
Gao Yu arrived before the great formation, looked up for a moment, and said softly, “Senior’s great formation, this junior dares to attempt to break it.”
Having said that, she suddenly raised her hand and waved it!
Two beams of light shot out instantly!
Those were two golden needle-like objects, moving incredibly fast. As she pointed with her delicate hand, they began to rotate around the great formation, seemingly searching for gaps, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities!
After only about three breaths, Gao Yu shouted, “Go in!”
The two golden needles pierced through the formation at the same time, finding two real weaknesses!
Everyone’s pupils contracted slightly at the same time!
The magical artifact has entered the formation!?
If this were a battle of magic against someone else, it would mean that Gao Yu had already broken the opponent’s formation!
Because their magical weapons have already bombarded your formation and are attacking you, what kind of formation can you control?
This is completely different from spiritual energy penetrating!
However, the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array was no ordinary array. The two golden needles did not affect the array at all. The two golden needles were seen spinning inside the array, still under Gao Yu’s control, and quickly blasting towards what Gao Yu considered the flaw, the array eye.
Boom, boom.
Two muffled thuds followed, and the golden needles spun, releasing a surge of spiritual energy.
A hint of joy appeared in Gao Yu’s eyes.
Everyone also peeked out slightly, wanting to see if she had really broken through even one percent of the great formation.
Will that voice appear? Will it say, “Did she pass?”
For a long time… for a long time…
The surroundings remained quiet. The joy on Gao Yu’s face gradually faded, and she frowned, revealing a hint of confusion. However, she did not wait any longer and simply turned around and returned to her previous position to continue her meditation.
As for the two golden needles that had already gone out of control, she had many more; she would leave them there for now.
The tension that had been building in everyone’s hearts eased once more; she hadn’t broken the formation…
But clearly, the day to break the formation is getting closer and closer!
Everyone is realizing that eventually, one person will break through the formation by even one percent!
So everyone became anxious. This second trial of breaking the formation was not a matter of first, second, or third place. Whoever broke it first would be the only one!
“fine……”
Hua Yuandu breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and muttered to himself, “When the formation breaks, it may be the beginning of a chaotic battle… Who wouldn’t be envious of good things?”
“I don’t care if I’m envious, but I’ll beat up anyone who dares to steal from me.”
But then a soft voice came through.
Hua Yuandu’s brow twitched, and he turned to look over.
Yu Xian opened his eyes and slowly got up.
“Hmm? Is it done?”
Upon seeing this, Hua Yuandu’s face immediately lit up with joy.
“almost.”
Yu Xian nodded slightly and stepped towards the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array.
“Almost there? That means it’s fine?”
Hua Yuandu immediately stood up as well, and together with Yu Xian, they walked toward the Heavenly Star Six Elements Formation.
The formation is definitely going to be broken by Yu Xian.
Now it’s my turn to make my move in the next big battle!
We must first ensure that Yu Xian gets all the items!
Yu Xian is right, whoever dares to steal will be destroyed!
All eyes turned to Yu Xian once again.
Yu Xian won first place in the first round and was the first to comprehend the Mountain Technique. In the second round… will he be the first to break the formation again?
Such thoughts echoed in everyone’s minds, to the point that Yun Buyi and Zhou Feng both stood up, their auras held back!
This guy, if he doesn’t break the formation, fine, but if he actually does…
We absolutely cannot let him take the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array diagram left behind by that Void Returning expert!
This is an extremely powerful formation!
Whoever obtains it and thoroughly comprehends the method of setting up the grand formation, once it is set up, even a Golden Core expert might not dare to challenge its might!
Gao Yu also frowned and looked at Yu Xian, her gaze calm, but her aura gradually rising.
As for the others, their expressions varied, and they were deep in thought. Although they knew they couldn’t take it, they might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits!
Of course, the premise is that this guy can break the formation!
Yu Xian had already arrived in front of the great formation.
Looking at the enormous illusory array, Yu Xian let out a breath, said nothing more, and suddenly there was a jolt behind him!
Seven vines shot out with a roar, each one over ten feet long, like azure dragons, and rushed towards the great formation in an instant!
Although Yu Xian did not know everything about the layout, key points, weaknesses, and shortcomings of the grand formation, he had found seven of them after thinking, observing, pondering, and comprehending them over the past fifteen days!
Seven places should be enough!
It’s only a 1% break; it’s not like he has to break the entire formation.
The seven vines didn’t hesitate at all; each found a spot and instantly plunged in without any hindrance!
That’s definitely a weakness!
Yu Xian’s eyes flashed, and he shouted in a low voice, “Break!”
boom!
The seven vines simultaneously blasted towards the seven key points of the formation!
The immense force directly shattered the vines!
Yu Xian even took two steps back because of this!
Rumble!
This towering and all-encompassing Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array was actually shaken at this moment!
It actually shook!
“What!?”
Everyone’s pupils constricted instantly!
It shook the world!
The great formation is shaking!?
Doesn’t that mean he broke through one percent?
“Very good…very good…you have broken through three percent of my formation. With such weak cultivation, you have been able to do this, which means you have truly grasped the flaws in this formation. I hope you can fill in the gaps in the future and truly perfect my great formation.”
Sure enough, the sound of that thought came from the sky the next moment!
Then, the six beams of light stopped simultaneously and vanished completely.
But then, on the high platform of the array base in front, six items—a scroll of array diagram, a secret manual, a purple box, a yellow bottle, a white ruler, and a mirror—fell to the ground and were seen by everyone!
