Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 65: Formation Court

In the world of cultivating immortals, it cannot be said that there are no such people who can challenge higher levels based on their own cultivation, but they are rare.

First of all, the level difference cannot be too big. One or two small realms is almost the limit. Moreover, this also requires the weaker party to have high-level spells that far exceed the opponent.

But if you don't rely on personal cultivation, there are many ways to think of.

For example, powerful magic weapons, elixirs with special effects, and... formations.

Among them, the effect of the formation is the most powerful. As long as sufficient preliminary preparations are made, theoretically speaking, it is not impossible for even a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage to defeat a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

To deal with Liu Bingxuan, he couldn't confront him head-on.

Unless he used the Iron Ball Technique, which was a special ability of the magnetic field, or forcibly used the magnetic field to shock the opponent's mind, he could not be a match for Liu Bingxuan based on his cultivation alone.

Even if he could defeat Liu Bingxuan, openly fighting in the sect would not be a good choice.

His purpose was not only to teach Liu Bingxuan a lesson, but also to make him suffer the consequences of his own actions, reveal the fact that he had framed Wei Xu, and receive the punishment he deserved.

This requires him to put more thought into it.

Zhou Qing spent most of the night thinking about this difficult problem, and was still thinking about it when he went for a walk in the bamboo forest in the morning.

Finally, Zhou Qing focused his attention on the mutual interference of the spiritual energy waves.

In the process of learning the formation, Zhou Qing noticed that spiritual energy waves of different frequencies have different interference effects.

Some spiritual energy waves can run in parallel without interfering with each other, some will cancel each other out, and some will be in a state between interference and cancellation.

The different effects of spells are also based on spiritual energy fluctuations of different frequencies.

Theoretically, he could find a kind of spiritual energy fluctuation that could just bounce back the spiritual energy fluctuation of the Immortal Drunk without reducing its effectiveness.

Now that you have an idea, you can try to verify it.

But when it comes to verification, Zhou Qing feels a little embarrassed.

He now has more than two thousand runes under his control. If he were to test them one by one, it would take an inordinate amount of time.

Is there a way to define a range first?
Zhou Qing thought of the mutual generation and restraint between the five elements.

This theory is certainly not groundless.

He might as well start experimenting with metal, which restrains wood, and look for runes that can influence the aura of metal.

After finishing his morning homework, Zhou Qing used his lunch break to start the experiment.

He tried several runes that affected the metal aura, but the results were not satisfactory. Most of them would eliminate the effects of the wood aura to varying degrees, and did not show the rebound effect that Zhou Qing hoped for.

Zhou Qing was not in a hurry. Studying formations was like doing academic research, and it was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

In the next few days, Zhou Qing used the time he spent studying formations at night to test his ideas.

After three days, Zhou Qing finally found five runes.

The individual effects of these five runes did not meet his expectations.

But when combined with each other, they can show perfect rebound characteristics.

The only trouble is that the combined power of these five runes is too strong for brown paper to withstand.

He needed to find a new array carrier, which fell into the realm of array materials, a field he had no experience in. Even if he had studied array materials, it would probably not be easy to obtain a high-level array carrier.

Finally, Zhou Qing thought of Xuanzhe from the Formation Court.

This senior seemed to have high expectations of him, so he might as well go to this senior for help and say that he was researching a new formation and needed slightly higher-quality materials, and wondered if he could get some from him.

Zhou Qing was not at all sure about this.

Although Xuanzhe valued him as a genius in formation, they had no personal relationship after all, and it was actually very presumptuous for him to suddenly come to him for help.

But what's the harm? Even if I don't get help, it's just a loss of face.

Zhou Qing has a firm mind and seeks truth rather than fame. He has long passed the stage where he would be dragged down by false fame.

Since there is a possibility of getting benefits, give it a try.

So after finishing his morning homework, Zhou Qing walked to the Formation Court in the midday sun.

The atmosphere of the Zhen Court was unlike anything Zhou Qing had ever seen anywhere else.

The styles of different places in Qingyun Sect are completely different.

The Discipline Hall is square and regular in architecture, and is decorated mostly in black, giving it a solemn and austere feel. The Transmission Hall is shaded by green trees, making it difficult to see its entirety, as if it contains countless secrets. The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is mainly practical.

The only thing that puzzled him the most was the Qimen Hall Formation Court.

The styles here are not uniform, as if they were randomly pieced together. Not only are the styles of different buildings different, but even in the same building, Zhou Qing can see the difference between the old and the new, as if it was rebuilt after being damaged, thus retaining the two styles of the past and present.

On the trails and squares of the Formation Court, many disciples were walking in a trance. They had no specific destination, but just wandered around, sometimes looking up and sighing, sometimes looking down in deep thought, or muttering something fiercely.

Zhou Qing almost wondered which insane asylum he had come to.

Because he didn't know the way, Zhou Qing had no choice but to ask for directions from a strange disciple who was crying and laughing.

The disciple was startled by his voice, as if he had just woken up from a dream. It took him a long while to focus his eyes on him and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Qing said, "I am the registered disciple Zhou Qing, and I have come to visit Senior Xuanzhe."

The man smiled and shook his head, saying, "Elder Xuanzhe is so busy every day, how could he have the time to see a registered disciple... Wait, what's your name?"

Zhou Qing had no choice but to repeat himself, "My name is Zhou Qing."

The man's eyes lit up, and he said, "My name is Wu Tao. I've just transferred from Baiyun Mountain to the Formation Court. So you're Zhou Qing. I've long heard of your name. I've seen the paper cranes you made for messages. They're very cleverly designed. How did you come up with that idea?"

Zhou Qing had no choice but to explain Yuanyuan again, saying, "It's just inspiration from an ordinary phenomenon. There's nothing surprising about it."

Wu Tao shook his head and said, "Being able to draw inspiration from insignificant little things is an extraordinary talent."

"The Formation Court also has its own system of summoning paper cranes. The principle is to preserve a specific route within the formation so that the paper cranes can fly along it."

"This formation contains twenty-three runes, and I've carefully analyzed your paper crane. It only uses six runes to accomplish what twenty-three runes can accomplish, and the effect is even better. This is called genius."

Seeing Wu Tao talking non-stop and seemingly showing no intention of stopping, Zhou Qing had no choice but to interrupt him and said, "Brother Wu Tao, I need to see Elder Xuanzhe for something. Could you please give me some directions?"

Wu Tao finally came back to his senses and said, "Ah, no problem, I'll take you to see Elder Xuanzhe right away. If it's you, the elder will definitely be happy to meet you."
