Chapter 222: Array Against the Sky

It snows every day in the North, all the time, without stopping.

However, this year the Xibing tribe encountered the largest snowstorm in history. The icebergs were destroyed, the ice houses were crushed, and more than 200,000 tribesmen died or fled.

Jiang Qiu didn't know how many people he had killed. All the way to Xibing Valley, he killed as many as he saw, and no one could escape.

Perhaps some of the tribesmen left after he killed the high priest, and he had no time to hunt them down. On the one hand, it was not easy to eradicate the roots, and on the other hand, it was unnecessary.

The Xibing tribe is the main tribe. It has been able to consolidate into its current form thanks to the inheritance of Master Kun Jiu guarded by the priests.

Now that the priest is dead, the core of Xibing’s hinterland has been breached, and not a single living person is seen on the road.

And Jiang Qiu also obtained the inheritance left by Master Kun Jiu - "Array Against the Sky".

The moment he stepped into the West Ice Valley, he felt a sense of guidance, just like the feeling when he entered the Beixue Tower when he returned to the Beixue Tribe.

After all, the ancestral heritage of Beihai Palace is the heritage of the entire human race in the Northern Realm. It is not just the heritage of one family, but it also serves as the key to open the heritage of Master Yuanchu, which illustrates this point.

Therefore, Jiang Qiu accepted the inheritance from Master Kun Jiu in the Xibing tribe.

"The formation is familiar with the mysteries of heaven and earth, encompasses the variables of the stars, connects the past and the present with the great way, and implicitly contains the principles of destiny."

Jiang Qiu murmured as he recalled the opening of "Array Against the Sky" that emerged in his mind. This was similar to "Blue Luan Jue" and was a guide to the other side of the Great Dao.

Unfortunately, "Array Against the Sky" has major omissions. Currently, the only visible parts are the basic chapters, plus a part of the sealing array that is taken out separately.

The so-called formation is a system of secrets constructed by ancient inscriptions. Jiang Qiu had heard about it before. It is a very obscure and difficult subject to learn.

There are two main reasons for the difficulty. First, there are too few classics excavated from various secret realms and ruins. These formations are extremely scarce resources and it is difficult to cultivate them into a sound system.

Secondly, the formation has very high requirements for mental strength. Only those who have extremely strong talent for controlling spiritual charm can be competent in the research of formation.

Moreover, because most of the ancient inscriptions were extracted from classics, some ancient inscriptions were not excavated, so they were blank and incomplete, and it was impossible to construct a correct formation.
"Basic chapter, primary formation, [Small Ice Realm], can it resist attacks from the Dao-peeping realm?"

Jiang Qiu flipped through a page casually and was stunned.

According to the inheritance obtained in Beihai Palace, the Dao-peeking Realm is equivalent to a martial arts master, and a martial arts master who is on the right path.

According to Qingluan Palace, one of the ancient human holy places, pure martial arts cannot lead to the other end of the Great Dao. They will be stuck when they grow to a certain level, and this level is just the first step for practitioners to take towards the Great Dao.

I just don't understand, is it that the vision of Qingluan Palace is too high, or is it true that in ancient times everyone was like a dragon, and the realm of peeping into the Tao, that is, the master of martial arts, is just the first step across the threshold?
Although this is how the inheritance explained it, Jiang Qiu still felt that the basic formations recorded in "Formation Against the Sky" were astonishing. If a simple elementary formation could stop a master-level powerhouse, it would definitely shock Xia Country and even the whole world!

Currently, Xia State is the most advanced in research on battle formations, but it seems that it cannot reach such a perverted level. It has hardly made any achievements in actual combat, let alone fighting against grandmaster-level powerhouses.

"The inheritance of the ancestors of the Northern Realm is really rich." Jiang Qiu took a deep breath and dragged the [Northern Snow Spear] towards the outskirts of the Xibing Tribe. After two steps, he suddenly stopped: "Looking at the content of this inheritance, Master Kun Jiu is very good at formations, so he must have set up formations for his own inheritance, and maybe even included the entire Xibing Tribe?"

boom!
The tip of the [Beixue Lance] suddenly stabbed into the ground, standing upright like a pole, and stood above Jiang Qiu's head.

He closed his eyes and began to feel the aura of the formation in the West Ice Valley. According to the essence of "Formation Against the Sky", some unusual auras were gradually perceived.

In just a moment, the foundation stone of the formation buried underground in the Xibing Valley appeared in Jiang Qiu's mind. With his eyes closed, he seemed to see the outline of the entire Xibing tribe.

Even the continuous icebergs have taken shape, and the area of ​​the Xibing tribe is just a tiny grain embedded in it.

There is indeed an extremely grand formation arranged in the northern border, and the place where the Xibing tribe is located is just a point of the formation, giving us a glimpse of the whole thing!

hiss--

Jiang Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath, and exclaimed: "There is a dragon vein underneath?!"

Dragon Vein. When the Northern Snow Tribe had not yet been destroyed, he participated in the annual ceremony and entered the ice hot spring, absorbing the water from the Dragon Vein.

The dragon vein seemed to be just a complex water system underground. Due to limited tools and knowledge, the people of the Beixue tribe had not been able to find out where the dragon vein ended. Perhaps it was just a vast underground water system.

But now, the scope of the dragon vein has exceeded the Beixue Tribe, passing through the huge Ice and Snow Ridge below and extending to the bottom of the Xibing Tribe!
Although the two places are far apart, Jiang Qiu is sure that they are from the same dragon vein. He can't forget the aura, it's too similar.

"But unfortunately, the dragon veins here are too inactive to produce anything like the ice hot springs."

Jiang Qiu shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

There are indeed traces of formations beneath the Xibing tribe, and they fit the description of a special formation singled out in "The Formation Against the Sky".

The name of that formation is "Heaven's Prisoner of the Dragon".

It is a sealing formation, and it is a large formation that is outlined in detail. Unfortunately, many principles are not explained, and even how the ancient inscriptions are outlined is not explained. Only a rendering is given to tell Jiang Qiu that there is such a formation here, and be careful not to bump into some taboos.

To Jiang Qiu, who knew nothing about ancient inscriptions, this formation naturally had no meaning, and the Xibing tribe was no longer of any value.

However, he found the treasure house in the West Ice Valley, which contained the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of the West Ice Tribe. It seemed to be on par with the previous accumulation of the North Snow Tower, and there were even many materials suitable for constructing formations.

Materials such as the [Small Ice Realm] are relatively complete. If someone knows how to set up formations, he should be able to build a large-scale [Small Ice Realm] or place the [Small Ice Realm] in multiple locations.

When he killed the high priest just now, he seemed to mutter the word "Ice Realm". Maybe he wanted to create a formation out of thin air?
It is normal to have an [Ice Realm] above the [Small Ice Realm], but that is obviously not something that the high priest can research on his own. He probably wanted to borrow the power of his ancestors, but the effect was not very good. It is estimated that the power was less than one hundred thousandth.

But even if it is a failed [Ice Realm], it can withstand the attack of his own spear intent which has reached the Forged Dao Jade Tendon Realm. If a healthy [Small Ice Realm] is created to protect the Beixue Tribe, it should be enough, right?
According to the description in "Array Against the Sky", that is a formation that can defend against the Dao-peeping realm. The Northern Realm can't even raise a Jade Tendon realm enemy who has just come into contact with spiritual charm, so how can it raise an enemy of the Dao-peeping realm?
Between the two realms, there are three major realms: spiritual body, bright soul, and Dharmadhatu!

Although these three realms are stated not to exist in the Qingluan Palace's inheritance.
