Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 85 The New Formation Takes Shape

Perhaps it was the moment of profound contemplation day and night that had led to a qualitative change, or perhaps it was the deepening of his understanding of runes that had enabled him to develop an intuition.

That night he sat at the table, thinking about his experience in matching runes over the past few days. The thousand runes that he was already very familiar with suddenly became like many fireflies, flying around in front of his eyes.

Some of them were brighter and more active than others, and seemed to be eager to jump towards him.

Zhou Qing then turned his attention to these runes and copied down a total of twenty-eight runes.

At this moment, his consciousness was extremely clear. Looking at these runes, his well-trained brain naturally designed a structure for them.

Zhou Qing had a hunch that he might be very close to his goal.

He took out the golden monkey skin, suppressed his excitement, and used cinnabar to copy the formation consisting of the twenty-eight runes onto the golden monkey skin.

When sixteen runes were copied, a crack appeared on the golden monkey's skin.

Zhou Qing's heart sank slightly, feeling that the golden monkey skin might not be able to withstand this formation.

But he continued writing, wanting to see how far he could go.

When he wrote the twenty-first rune, the resonance between the runes suddenly intensified, and the golden monkey skin was torn to pieces by an invisible force.

Before the golden monkey's skin shattered, a faint wave of spiritual energy came out and hit Zhou Qing.

He felt many desires rising up in his heart uncontrollably, but they soon calmed down.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed.

He knew he had succeeded.

The formation has not been completed, so its ultimate power cannot be achieved yet.

If he could finish writing all twenty-eight runes, the power of the formation would definitely give him a satisfactory result.

The problem now is that the materials he has are no longer enough to support this formation, and he needs more advanced materials.

It seems I have no choice but to go to the court.

After nearly two months of non-stop work, Zhou Qing felt a little exhausted.

When the work was not finished, he was dominated by passion and did not realize what was happening. Suddenly, he felt extremely sleepy.

For the first time in nearly six months, he fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already bright daylight.

Zhou Qing got up from the floor, looked at the bright sunshine in the courtyard, and listened to the crisp bird calls coming from the forest. Zhou Qing felt a sense of comfort.

He opened the door and headed towards Qingyun Mountain, intending to find Brother Wu Tao to see if he could get the right materials.

Just as he walked down Ziyun Mountain, he suddenly noticed a shadow passing by in front of him. He looked up unconsciously and found several monks in flowing robes flying towards Qingyun Mountain on their swords.

The height of these cultivators' flying swords was only a hundred feet, but Zhou Qing could still see their clothes clearly and found that they were not the clothes of the Qingyun Sect members.

Are there outsiders coming to Qingyun Sect?
Zhou Qing was puzzled and continued walking towards Qingyun Mountain.

Along the way, he saw sword riders passing by several times. When he arrived at Qingyun Mountain, he saw many more white flags on both sides of the mountain road and at the foot of the mountain, and many strange monks wandering leisurely in the woods.

Zhou Qing then remembered that the sect was holding a funeral for Elder Fang Daoyi, and the elder's friends and disciples of Qingyun Sect who were away would come back to pay their respects.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing thought of what Wei Kuang said about the election for elders.

He has been concentrating on studying formations for the past two months and has forgotten about this matter.

It seems that after meeting Wu Tao later, he will need to go see Chen Qingxuan to ask about the situation. While thinking, Zhou Qing came to the Formation Court.

Wu Tao was Xuanzhe's apprentice, so he went straight to Xuanzhe's research room.

Wu Tao was doing his homework inside. When Zhou Qing leaned over to take a look, he found that he was studying the formation by referring to a book.

Each page of the book records a different formation, and next to the formation are densely packed small characters explaining the key points of the formation structure.

Wu Tao dismembered the formation, wrote down each part separately, and then reassembled them, trying to appreciate the subtleties of it.

This is the daily homework of the apprentices in the Formation Court.

Seeing Zhou Qing come in, he asked in surprise, "Brother Zhou, why are you here? Maybe you've run out of Golden Monkey Skin. Please wait a moment, I'll get you some more."

Having said that, he stood up from his seat.

Zhou Qing hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile, "It's true that the golden monkey skin has been used up, but I'm not looking for you to borrow it."

Wu Tao asked, "What's that for?"

Zhou Qing said: "I want to borrow a higher level formation carrier from Brother Wu."

Wu Tao was startled and asked, "Brother Zhou, can you tell me what you want this formation carrier for?"

Of course, the array carrier can only be used to depict the array.

Of course Wu Tao understood this principle, he just couldn't believe that Zhou Qing could handle higher-level formations.

There are eight levels of formations, covering the vast universe and the dark yellow of heaven and earth.

Among them, the yellow-grade formation corresponds to the Qi Refining Stage, and basically the golden monkey skin is enough.

Unless it is a Xuan-grade formation, there will be a problem of insufficient golden monkey skins.

Zhou Qing asked him for more advanced materials. Could it be that he was already able to handle the Xuan-grade formation?
What a joke!
Zhou Qing has only been exposed to formations for half a year, and has no teacher to teach him. He has only relied on his own exploration. If he can handle the Xuan-grade formation,
Wouldn't these apprentices who racked their brains every day to train under the guidance of their teachers become stupid?
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I just constructed a formation. I used the golden monkey skin to write, but I found that I couldn't write it down. I had to ask Brother Wu for help to see if I could borrow more advanced materials."

Build...a mysterious formation by yourself?
Wu Tao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He knew each of these words, but he couldn't understand them when put together.

Being able to stably construct a profound formation is the hallmark of a formation master.

Even for formation masters who can conduct independent research, most of the time they only tinker with the formations of their predecessors and try to construct some simple formations on their own, which are basically yellow-grade formations.

Only occasionally does a flash of inspiration come to one, and one might have the opportunity to draft a design for a mysterious formation, and then, under the guidance of a formation master, construct the formation.
Only a formation master can stably construct a Xuan-grade formation. The so-called stability is actually nothing more than successfully constructing three Xuan-grade formations in a row within ten years.

And this guy in front of him, who had only been exposed to formations for half a year, said that he had independently constructed a formation that the golden monkey skin could not bear.

Damn it, are you kidding me?

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Qing looked at Wu Tao's face, which turned pale and blue, and asked curiously.

Wu Tao said, "Brother Zhou, you are not here to make fun of me, are you?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I didn't ask you to chop the formation into pieces, how am I teasing you?"

Wu Tao obviously couldn't understand his poor joke and looked at him with confusion.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to say seriously, "I will never lie to Brother Wu. I did build such a formation, but the effect has not yet been tested. If Brother Wu can lend me some high-quality materials, I will count it as a contribution after success."
