Chapter 563: Formation Competition
The next day, Chu Yang found Duobao and said, "Brother Duobao, I don't understand the formation, I want to ask you for advice."
Duobao Taoist is easy-going and likes to help others. Seeing Chu Yang asking for advice so humbly, he is naturally happy to give advice.
In addition, Chu Yang is the person who represents Jiejiao to compete with the Chanjiao in formation, so he is unreserved.
In the next few days, Duobao Taoist taught Chu Yang his understanding of formation and taught Chu Yang how to integrate the many changes of the small Qiankun formation.
Chu Yang then told him the idea of the small Qiankun formation and the difficulties he encountered.
Duobao is now at the level of Daluo Jinxian, and he did not look down on Chu Yang because he was only a true immortal.
Not only him, Sanxiao, the four holy mothers, the seven attendants, etc., have never looked down on Chu Yang.
As the eldest brother of Jiejiao and a Daluo Jinxian, his vision is naturally much better than Chu Yang.
After hearing this, Taoist Duobao's eyes flashed with admiration. Although this small Qiankun formation was only a prototype, it was already quite ingenious. What was even more rare was that Chu Yang could combine several different types of formations together, which showed his high talent for formations.
"Junior brother Xiaolei, I am ashamed of your talent for formations!"
"Senior brother, you are too kind to me!" Chu Yang bowed slightly. He had gained a lot from Duobao.
Duobao shook his head: "Junior brother, when you have arranged it, I will definitely go to explore it for you!"
Chu Yang was moved. His formation had not yet been born, and everything was still unknown. It needed to be tested in many aspects.
A few days later, Chu Yang visited the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. The cave of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother was completely different from that of Duobao. It was clean and tidy, and spotless.
"Junior brother Chu Yang, are you here for the materials for the formation?"
As soon as the Golden Spirit Holy Mother saw Chu Yang, she asked straight to the point.
Chu Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Golden Spirit Holy Mother had guessed his intention.
He nodded and handed the list of materials needed for the small Qiankun formation to the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother took the list, looked at it carefully, and smiled: "These materials are not difficult to find. Junior brother, wait a moment, I will refine them for you."
After that, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother turned and walked towards the refining room.
Chu Yang wanted to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother: "Junior brother, you might as well stay and observe. It may be helpful to your formation."
Chu Yang readily agreed and followed the Golden Spirit Holy Mother into the refining room.
In the refining room, there was a huge refining furnace, the furnace fire was burning, and it exuded a hot breath.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother skillfully put various materials into the furnace, chanting in her mouth, and hitting the magic formula into the furnace one by one, controlling the temperature and intensity of the flame.
In the process of refining materials, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother would explain some of the connections between refining and formations from time to time, which made Chu Yang's understanding of formations more profound.
Chu Yang suddenly discovered that refining and formations, seemingly two different fields, are in fact inextricably linked.
Refining can provide a powerful carrier for formations; and formations can in turn enhance the power of magic weapons.
The refining furnace of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother went out, and various materials seemed to have gained new life in her hands, flashing with a lively luster.
"It's done."
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother smiled slightly and handed the refined materials to Chu Yang, "Junior brother, are you satisfied with these materials?"
Chu Yang took the materials, felt warm and full of spiritual energy, and secretly sighed at the exquisite refining skills of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
"Thank you, senior sister, these materials are really great!"
"Junior brother, you are polite." The Golden Spirit Holy Mother waved her hand, "You must be careful and cautious when you go to arrange the formation this time, and don't be careless."
Chu Yang nodded solemnly and said goodbye and left.
After returning to the cave, he couldn't wait to start arranging the small Qiankun formation.
In the cave, Chu Yang sat cross-legged, and the Qiankun ruler was suspended in front of him, emitting a faint golden light.
He took a deep breath and placed the refined materials one by one in specific positions according to the instructions of Duobao Taoist and Jinling Shengmu.
Arranging the formation is an extremely complicated process, which requires precise calculation and precise control.
Chu Yang carefully adjusted the position and angle of each piece of material. The slightest deviation may affect the power of the entire formation.
"The position of this 'Sky Star Flag' seems to be a little off..." Chu Yang frowned and moved the Sky Star Flag a little to the left.
Buzz!
The Qiankun ruler trembled slightly, and the surrounding spiritual energy also fluctuated.
"It's still not right..."
Chu Yang sighed and adjusted the position of the Sky Star Flag again.
Arranging the formation cannot tolerate any mistakes. A slight deviation may result in all previous efforts being wasted, or even backfire on oneself.
Chu Yang frowned, sometimes thinking, and sometimes adjusting the position of the materials.
During the arrangement process, he encountered many problems. The properties of some materials conflicted with each other and were difficult to integrate;
The spiritual energy in some locations did not flow smoothly, affecting the operation of the formation.
Whenever he encountered a problem, Chu Yang would enter the Soul Palace and discuss with Chu Yang in other worlds.
Finally, on the seventh day, Chu Yang completed the arrangement of the small Qiankun formation.
He took a deep breath and inserted the Qiankun ruler into the center of the formation.
Buzz!
A low humming sound sounded, and the whole cave shook.
The Qiankun ruler burst into a dazzling light, like a small sun, illuminating the entire cave.
The dazzling light gradually faded, and the Qiankun ruler stood steadily in the center of the formation, emitting a warm luster.
Chu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to test the power of the Small Universe Formation, Chu Yang first picked up a few ordinary stones and threw them into the formation.
As soon as the stone touched the edge of the formation, it was instantly crushed into powder by an invisible force, leaving no residue behind.
Chu Yang took out another low-grade spiritual weapon, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it in.
The spiritual weapon struggled in the formation for a moment, letting out bursts of whining, but was finally destroyed by the power of the formation, turning into little spiritual lights that dissipated in the air.
"The power is not bad."
Chu Yang touched his chin, feeling secretly happy.
Although this Small Universe Formation was only beginning to take shape, its power far exceeded his expectations.
However, Chu Yang still felt that the operation of the formation was not smooth enough, and there was still room for improvement in its power.
In order to test the power of the Small Universe Formation more comprehensively, Chu Yang decided to invite Taoist Duobao to come and have a try.
He immediately set off for Duobao Cave and told Duobao his thoughts.
When Duobao heard this, he immediately became interested and readily agreed.
After returning to the cave, Chu Yang quietly waited for the arrival of Taoist Duobao.
Not long after, Duobao came on a cloud and walked into the cave with a smile: "Junior Brother Xiaolei, have you set up the formation? Let Senior Brother come and see it!"
Chu Yang quickly stood up to greet him: "Senior brother, please!"
Duobao walked to the edge of the formation and observed it carefully, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes: "Junior brother, your formation is exquisitely conceived and extraordinary!"
After saying that, he sacrificed a high-grade spiritual treasure and smashed it towards the formation.
boom!
After a loud noise, smoke and dust flew everywhere.
Chu Yang stared at the formation nervously, and saw that the attack of the high-grade spiritual treasure was mostly weakened by the formation. It only caused a ripple on the surface of the formation, and then dissipated invisible.
"What a great defense!"
Duobao exclaimed: "This formation may be difficult for even ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals to break!"
Chu Yang was overjoyed, but still maintained a humble attitude: "Senior brother, I'm so impressed. This formation still has many shortcomings."
Duobao nodded, pointed to several positions in the formation and said, "Junior brother, the flow of spiritual energy in these places is a bit sluggish. You can make some adjustments, and the power should be improved a lot."
Chu Yang humbly accepted Duobao's advice and decided to further improve the formation.
Later, he invited Sanxiao, Jinling Shengsheng and other Jiejiao disciples to experience the Small Universe Formation and collect suggestions for improvement.
As soon as Empress Sanxiao entered the formation, Yunxiao said: "This formation is so powerful! It's not much better than Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl!"
Qiong Xiao even directly used the Hunyuan Golden Dou, hitting the formation with one blow, and the result was naturally easily resolved by the formation.
Bixiao chuckled from the side: "Junior brother, if you use this formation to deal with those guys from Chanjiao, they will definitely cry for their father and mother!"
Chu Yang recorded everyone's suggestions one by one, feeling extremely grateful.
Based on everyone's suggestions, the Small Universe Array was fine-tuned, the array eyes were rearranged, and the position and angle of the materials were adjusted.
As he continued to adjust, the formation became smoother and more powerful, and its power gradually increased.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.
The Yuxu Palace Square in Kunlun Mountain is already crowded with people and the atmosphere is solemn.
The Jiejiao disciples occupied most of the territory, but all of them looked solemn.
The disciples of Chanjiao gathered in a circle, each with a very arrogant look on their face.
On the high platform, three saints, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Leader, sat with their eyes like torches, looking down.
Chu Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm down his slightly nervous mood.
Since the last time he improved the Small Universe Formation based on everyone's suggestions, he has been studying the formation method day and night, and now he finally has full confidence.
"Junior brother Xiaolei, don't be nervous, just do your best."
Yun Xiao comforted her softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.
At this time, Guang Chengzi walked slowly to the center of the square, holding a whisk in his hand, and smiled at Chu Yang: "Junior Brother Xiaolei, please come."
According to the rules, Guangchengzi set up the formation first.
Chu Yang nodded and walked to the opposite side of Guang Chengzi.
Guangchengzi didn't waste any time and started setting up the formation directly.
I saw his hands flying, muttering something in his mouth, and mysterious runes flew out of his hands and fell to the ground, forming a complex pattern.
"Two rites, four elephants, and eight trigrams array!"
Qiong Xiao exclaimed, "This Guangchengzi really thinks highly of Junior Brother Chu Yang, and he set up such a powerful formation as soon as he came up!"
Chu Yang frowned. Naturally, he had heard of the "Two Instruments, Four Symbols, and Bagua Formation." This formation was unpredictable and contained hidden murderous intent. If you were not careful, you would fall into a place of eternal disaster.
After the formation was completed, Guang Chengzi made an invitation gesture: "Junior Brother Chu Yang, please join the formation."
Chu Yang did not hesitate, holding the Qiankun ruler, he stepped into the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation, Chu Yang felt that the surrounding scene had changed.
The originally empty square now turned into a forest shrouded in mist, with gusty winds and ghostly shadows, making it creepy.
Chu Yang did not dare to be careless and walked forward cautiously. The Qiankun Ruler emitted a faint golden light, illuminating the path ahead for him while also exploring the reality of the formation.
"That's right, how can he break this 'Two Instruments, Four Symbols and Bagua Formation'? I think he won't be able to hold out even half a stick of incense, so he has to come out and admit defeat!"
When the Jie Jiao disciples heard this, they were all filled with indignation, but they were helpless.
In the formation, Chu Yang walked slowly, taking every step with extreme caution.
He discovered that this formation was indeed well-deserved and unpredictable. A slight inadvertence would trigger the formation's restrictions and attract attacks.
The Qiankun Ruler continued to rotate in his hand, and the golden light it emitted became stronger and stronger, dispelling the surrounding fog, and gradually unveiled the mystery of the formation.
As his understanding of the battle strategy deepened, Chu Yang's pace gradually accelerated.
The Qiankun Ruler in his hand was swung faster and faster, and the golden light was like a sharp sword, slashing at the weak points of the formation.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, a corner of the formation was broken by Chu Yang, revealing a flaw.
Chu Yang was overjoyed and took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He waved the Qiankun Ruler repeatedly, golden light shot out, and he broke through the weak points of the formation one by one.
Click, click, click! There were several crisp sounds in succession, like rotten wood breaking. The runes on the edge of the formation flickered for a few times and then dimmed, like a candle in the wind.
Guang Chengzi's expression suddenly changed.
Originally, he thought that even if Chu Yang could break the formation, it would still take him a while, enough for him to do some tricks in secret.
But now, seeing that the formation was about to collapse, all his plans were disrupted.
"Brother Chi Jingjing, senior brother Taiyi, please help me!"
Guangchengzi secretly sent messages to Chi Jingzhen, Taiyi Zhenren and others hidden in the formation for help.
After receiving the message from Guangchengzi, Chi Jingzhi and others immediately activated their magic power and secretly strengthened the formation.
The originally shaky formation seemed to have been injected with new vitality and became stable again.
Chu Yang noticed the strange fluctuations in the formation and immediately realized that there was another mystery in the formation.
He sneered and said to himself: Guangchengzi, you are really playing dirty tricks! On the surface, he remained calm and continued to attack the weak points of the formation, pretending not to know.
"This kid really has his wits about him!"
Chi Jingzhi hid in the dark and said through gritted teeth: "You can actually force Guangchengzi to ask us for help!"
"Humph, it's just relying on the power of the Qiankun Ruler!"
Master Taiyi snorted disdainfully: "When his mana is exhausted, let's see how long he can be arrogant!"
The formation was barely maintained with the joint support of several people. Chu Yang pretended to be defeated and retreated while fighting, but in fact he secretly observed the changes in the formation and looked for the real formation eye.
"Ha, they look pretty similar!"
Guang Chengzi watched Chu Yang retreating step by step, feeling proud in his heart, thinking that Chu Yang was at the end of his game.
"Brother, don't take it lightly, this guy is very cunning!" Chi Jingzheng reminded.
While avoiding the attack of the formation, Chu Yang secretly observed the changes in the formation, looking for the real formation eye.
Under Chu Yang's constant testing, the flaws in the formation were gradually revealed.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: Found it!
Chu Yang seized the opportunity and aimed the Qiankun Ruler at the core of the formation and struck suddenly.
"No!" Guang Chengzi and others' expressions changed drastically, and it was too late to stop them.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and golden light shot up into the sky, like a dazzling pillar of light, piercing the sky!
The originally shaky formation instantly collapsed under this blow!
Chi Jingzhi, Taiyi Zhenren and others who were hidden in the formation were also exposed. Each of them looked pale and vomited blood, obviously suffering from the backlash of the formation.
"Poof!" Guang Chengzi spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
Chu Yang broke out of the formation, holding the Qiankun Ruler, and his eyes were like torches, glaring at Guang Chengzi and others coldly, like a king looking down on the world.
"Is this the formation you Guangchengzi prepared?" Chu Yang's tone was cold, with a hint of ridicule, "Next time you want to play dirty tricks, you should weigh your own weight first!" (End of Chapter)
