Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 599 Discussing the Dao and Formations!

Jinsha Patriarch was clearly shocked by Gu Yuan's discerning eye.

His Golden Sand Array was formed from his life's cultivation and practice, and it contains a total of 1,238 variations.

What Gu Yuan just mentioned about using formations to evolve the world is the final layer of change within formations. Although it is only a trend, it is his lifelong goal.

Logically speaking, even figures like the Old Man of Hun Tian and Granny Plum Blossom wouldn't be able to see it, but unexpectedly, it was Gu Yuan, a mere Golden Core cultivator, who saw it.

However, considering that Gu Yuan might be the reincarnation of a certain primordial spirit immortal, the Golden Sand Ancestor was not surprised.

The Primordial Spirit Immortal is knowledgeable and insightful, and its vision is directed directly to the core of the origin. No matter what changes occur, nothing can escape the eyes of such a being.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then simply raised his palm as well.

Buzz buzz buzz——buzz buzz buzz——

Then, accompanied by a series of powerful sword cries, a ball of five-colored light rose from Gu Yuan's hand.

Within the light, five five-colored sword lights flowed and changed, evolving into a meaning of mutual generation and restraint, endless vitality, and continuous flow.

The five sword lights, though as thin as needles, exuded an extremely profound and terrifying aura. These sword lights split into two, then into four, then into eight, almost visibly transforming into a miniature sword array!

In an instant, a perfectly harmonious and incomparably sharp aura emanated from him, causing even the Golden Sand Ancestor standing to the side to tremble with fear.

"The Five Elements Dao has been integrated with some supreme sword Dao... this... this great formation..."

The ancestor of Jinsha was startled, but then his eyes lit up, like a starving ghost who had stumbled upon a table full of delicacies, staring intently at the miniature array in Gu Yuan's hand.

To tell the truth.

Regarding the art of formations, Ancestor Jinsha boasted that even if he hadn't reached the pinnacle, he was still one of the few in the East Sea cultivation world who could match him.

The thing he was most proud of in his life was that he had delved into the art of array formations, progressing from the basics to the advanced levels, and eventually reached the realm of a master of array formations.

He even went into seclusion for hundreds of years, integrating his own essence of array formations to create this Golden Sand Array, which allowed him to enter the Yang God realm.

It can be said that although the Golden Sand Ancestor was a Taoist immortal, he actually entered the Tao through formations.

This is why, although the Golden Sand Ancestor's origin was sealed by the Hun Tian Elder and he was seriously injured, he followed the path of proving the Dao through arrays. His soul was in harmony with the array, so even though he was seriously injured, he could rely on the array to draw on the power of heaven and earth to recover.

The injuries he sustained would have likely crippled any other powerful Yang God, if not killed, leaving them barely clinging to life.

If it were the Old Ancestor Jinsha, he could gradually recover and still have a chance to return to his original state.

Therefore, this is also an important reason why he has an extraordinary love and fascination with the art of formations.

Now, seeing the formation that Gu Yuan had displayed, he was quite shocked.

He had seen formations based on the five elements, and was even proficient in some of them. He had also practiced sword techniques, but those were not his true path.

The array that Gu Yuan was displaying was undoubtedly very profound and had a far-reaching artistic conception. The sword principles contained within it were close to the realm of breaking through all laws with a single sword. Even he would be terrified by it. As for the Five Elements Dao within it, it already had the charm of the world of mutual generation of the Five Elements, and it was equally impressive.

The two are combined into one, without any repulsion, perfectly blended together, which can be said to be far more than just one plus one equals two. Ancestor Jinsha had heard of such formations before, but most of them were either shallow or profound, but had been lost. However, the formation in front of him was clearly not one of those he had heard of or seen.

However, one thing is certain: Gu Yuan's Five Elements Sword Formation surpasses his Golden Sand Formation by a significant margin in terms of potential, artistic conception, and even its mystique.

Or perhaps it is only comparable to his Golden Sands Formation in terms of power.

However, this was not a flaw in the formation, but rather a difference in cultivation level between Gu Yuan and him.

No matter how powerful the art of formations is, it still depends on the cultivation level of the person who is in charge of the formation. The stronger the cultivation level, the more profound the mastery of formations, and the greater the power when it is used.

Ancestor Jinsha had already formed an association in his mind. He looked at Gu Yuan and couldn't help but say, "This formation is something I have never heard of or seen before. Could it be that you created it, young friend?"

Gu Yuan nodded and smiled, "Senior has keen insight. Indeed, this formation was created by me and is a powerful technique I have mastered."

"...Young friend, you are indeed remarkable. I never imagined that you would have such a profound understanding of array formations at such a young age. It is truly astonishing."

Jinsha Laozu sighed and shook his head.

The Way of Arrays is one of the unorthodox paths, on par with the Way of Weapons, the Way of Alchemy, the Way of Puppetry, and the Way of Talismans. However, in terms of its profound and obscure nature, only the Way of Alchemy can rival it.

Legend has it that the highest level of alchemy is to create a world directly during the alchemy process.

The art of formations, at its most profound levels, can also evolve into a world.

Therefore, in principle, the two are the same.

As for the Dao of Weapons, the Dao of Puppetry, and the Dao of Talismans... they are obviously inferior.

The art of formations is beyond the comprehension of fools and idiots; only cultivators with high comprehension can delve into it.

To comprehend and successfully set up a grand formation is certainly not easy, but to create an unprecedented grand formation is dozens or even hundreds of times more difficult!
The Golden Sand Ancestor himself was a rare genius in the world with exceptional comprehension, which is why he was able to create the Golden Sand Formation. However, when he created the Golden Sand Formation, he was already at the Great Perfection of the Yin Spirit Realm and was over three thousand years old.

But what about Gu Yuan?

Jinsha Patriarch would bet that Gu Yuan's age is definitely no more than a hundred years, and probably not even sixty years.

At such a young age, to have cultivated to this level is unprecedented, and to have even created such a formation, what kind of prodigy is this young man!

At this point, Jinsha Laozu had actually begun to doubt his previous guesses.

He had initially thought that Gu Yuan was a reincarnation of a primordial spirit immortal... but upon seeing this formation, he began to have doubts.

After all, Gu Yuan looked full of vitality. Whether it was his physique or his spirit, he carried the youthful spirit and vitality that only young people have.

If Gu Yuan is truly a reincarnation of a primordial spirit immortal, then that's even more terrifying.

Seeing the incredulous, ever-changing expression on Jinsha Patriarch's face, Gu Yuan felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Showing off one's divine power in front of others, especially in front of a powerful Yang God, leaving the other party speechless, is actually quite satisfying.
