Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 27: Enlightenment
Things developed just as Lu Yang expected. In the end, Zhao Xuhe sold the "Nine Transformations Dragon Art" to him at a low price of 1500 contribution points.

People are like this when they are in debt.

After getting the "Nine Transformations Dragon Art", Lu Yang immediately returned to the cave, memorized the contents of the technique word for word, and then put it away.

"It's a pity that I can't practice now."

His body turned into a blood shadow, and his cultivation level neither increased nor decreased, forever remaining in the late stage of Qi Refining. Even if he wanted to disperse his power, it was impossible, so he could only wait for the next life.

Having said that, Lu Yang was not in a hurry to commit suicide.

After all, time is precious, and he would not waste it easily even if he had the [Book of Hundred Worlds]. Even if he could not practice, he still had other areas where he could continue to improve.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang took out Fairy Qingchen's book "Secret Explanation of Array Treasures" from his storage bag.

That’s right, he wants to learn the formation!

The four arts of cultivation, formations, weapons, elixirs and talismans, as long as one has one of these skills, he will immediately become a high-level talent in the world of cultivation and can be successful wherever he is.

For example, Fairy Qingchen, Lu Yang felt that she was actually a real talent. Not only did she know how to set up formations, she could also refine the formations into magic weapons. Unfortunately, her judgment of men was not very good. She fell in love with scumbags who turned their backs on her, so she died with hatred in both lives.

When Lu Yang opened the "Secret Explanation of Formation Treasures", he couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the first page.

[The so-called formation treasure is the formation as the treasure, and the treasure as the formation. The two complement each other. The skills involved are the result of my painstaking research.]

[To learn this art, both talent and hard work are essential.]

After the opening preface, the second page is filled with dense lines, each with a note explaining what the line means.

[The art of formations is based on formation patterns. By outlining the formation patterns and depicting the universe, one can draw upon the wonders of the universe. However, the universe and the universe contain countless mysteries that are difficult to comprehend, let alone transform into formation patterns. This requires extraordinary understanding. Only by mastering the formation patterns can one be capable of learning the formation.]

[Very good, now you have a certain understanding of the basic principles of battle formations.]

[Next, turn to page 3 and look at a simple example to put what we've just learned into practice.]

On the third page, an extremely complex and intricate pattern caught Lu Yang's eyes.

Is this the formation diagram?

Lu Yang touched his chin. The so-called deciphering the formation diagram is actually to distinguish the composition of the formation patterns in the formation, and then deduce the function of the formation.

Array patterns are the basis of all array formations.

Whether a formation can be effective depends mainly on whether the combination of the formation patterns is reasonable, whether there are any conflicts, and whether a complete link can be formed to run.

"interesting."

Lu Yang smiled confidently, thinking that this wasn't particularly difficult. "With my talent and hard work, I'm determined to get a simple formation diagram!"

A month later.

Lu Yang sat on the mat in a daze, with a large number of manuscripts piled up beside him, all of which were the results of his calculations. He was extremely decadent.

And in his hands, there were a series of combined array patterns.

It was unknown how long it had been before a ray of light suddenly appeared on Lu Yang's fingertips.

"It's done!?"

Lu Yang stood up instantly, his face ecstatic. He carefully looked at the array pattern he had put together, calculated silently for a moment, and then revealed a look of doubt:
"That's not right, how come it happened?"

"How does this thing work?"

This was clearly the result of a month's hard work, but he didn't even understand why it worked. This feeling drove Lu Yang crazy.

After a month of hard training, he now has a deeper understanding of the battle formation.

In short, array formations are very similar to programming.

The so-called path to comprehending the formation is to extract the usable parts from the shitty mountain of codes written by God, and form your own code.

However, when it comes to formations, if you don’t know how to do it, you just don’t know how to do it.

It's like panning for gold in a mountain of shit. People without talent will end up like Lu Yang now, not finding any gold but a pile of shit instead.
"No matter what, we finally found something."

Lu Yang sighed and continued to study tirelessly. After more than a month, he finally solved the pattern in his hand. "This is a lighting array!"

"The formation's area is bathed in light, rendering most concealment methods ineffective. It also lacks any offensive or defensive capabilities."

Lu Yang looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, but his face was filled with excitement. He turned to the third page of "The Secret of the Formation Treasure" with a great sense of accomplishment.

【It’s normal that you can’t solve it. 】

The questions on page three are meant to help you understand how difficult formations are. Try to comprehend them with a humble heart, and don't always aim too high.

Lu Yang: “.”

"Beast! Beast!"

Lu Yang suddenly stood up and threw the book in his hand to the ground. He was now 100% sure that this was definitely a formation book written by the formation master of the Holy Sect!
After a while, Lu Yang picked up the book again.

There is no way. Some things don’t care whether you like it or not, understand it or not, or want to do it or not. You still have to bite the bullet and do it for the sake of living.

However, after further study, Lu Yang discovered that his talent was not as bad as he had imagined.

As the book says, the complicated pattern on the third page is not for beginners to solve, so Lu Yang was stuck on it for two months.

However, there are also benefits. After changing to some easy-to-understand formations, Lu Yang's learning speed has become visibly faster. If he occasionally encounters a problem, he can get over it by studying it for a few days. This has also allowed Lu Yang, who had been hit hard before, to regain his confidence.

I don’t know how many years have passed in the cave, time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

During this period, Lu Yang turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused on reading the formation book. He was even too lazy to pay the rent for his cave and moved directly to the outer gate.

After all, he is unable to practice now, and without any hard needs, he will naturally give up and stop working.

And in the past twenty years, almost every few years, a son of destiny with great luck like Xiao Shiye in the past would suddenly rise in the outer sect.

However, when the son of destiny obtains a great opportunity known to everyone in the Holy Sect, he will suddenly disappear.

Disappearing along with him were a large number of unlucky people who, after discovering the fortune of the child of destiny, had evil intentions and wanted to curry favor with him and take advantage of his fortune.

"That senior is fishing again."

Every time he heard similar news, Lu Yang would feel panicked. After all, with Xiao Shiye as an example, he would only keep his distance from the child of destiny.

He couldn't afford to offend, so he could only hide.

There was also Zhao Xuhe. Twenty years later, he had already achieved great perfection in Qi training and became a famous disciple of the Holy Sect. However, he failed in his attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment stage a few years ago and passed away.

In response to this, Lu Yang just sighed and no longer cared.

What really made Lu Yang happy was that after twenty years of hard study, he finally thoroughly mastered the knowledge of "Secret Explanation of Array Treasures".

Inside the cave, Lu Yang's entire mind was focused on the sword ball in front of him. At this moment, he was even unable to maintain his human form, and the blood shadow was extremely dim.

This is a sign that the end is approaching.

The side effects of practicing the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light in the past finally caught up with him, causing him to die at the age of forty.

However, Lu Yang didn't care about it at all. He was still concentrating on engraving the formation. Even when he was about to die, he still didn't get up, nor did he try to make any salvage moves, because that would only interrupt his inspiration, and he didn't want to waste his precious inspiration.

"I see! Wait, that's not right. It's wrong."

"Oh, that's right! That's right. No, it's still not right. Oh, that's right!"

A long time passed like this, and finally, just when Lu Yang's blood shadow almost disappeared and he was on the verge of life and death, Lu Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide -

"Hahaha! I succeeded!"

Seeing the array pattern he had painstakingly drawn being pieced together around the sword ball and finally running successfully, Lu Yang suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter echoed in the cave.

He just lost his voice in laughter.

"The Book of Hundred Worlds!"
