Chapter 196 Nine Palaces Myriad Transformations Formation
"The natural formation outside the cave has more potential than this."
Chu Chen looked outside the cave with a dim gaze.
He realized that perhaps the greatest opportunity here was not this spiritual vein.
But the natural formation outside the cave.
He only understood a little bit, and with this natural formation, he made the Qiankun Huansha Formation and other formations play the power comparable to ordinary second-grade low-level formations.
The gap between the second-grade low-level formation and the first-grade top-level formation is not far from the gap between the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building and the cultivators in the twelfth level of Qi training.
The two are incomparable.
Relying on this natural formation, Chu Chen can make the Qiankun Huansha Formation and other three first-grade top-level formations play the power comparable to the second-grade low-level formations.
It can be imagined that the value of this natural formation.
"This natural formation is in line with the number of the Nine Palaces and contains infinite changes. It will be called the Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Changes Formation in the future."
For Chu Chen, the Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Changes Formation is equivalent to the inheritance of a second-grade or higher formation.
If he can thoroughly comprehend it, his formation cultivation may reach the level of a second-grade top-level formation master.
Maybe even higher.
"However, other formation inheritances must also be obtained by chance."
Chu Chen pondered in his heart.
The Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Changes Formation itself does not have much power. If it is set up alone, it can at most block the cultivator's divine sense detection and hide its traces.
Only by using the myriad changes of the Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Changes Formation and setting up the formation can the real power be exerted.
This requires Chu Chen to master more first-grade top-level formations and formations above the second grade. It is far from enough to rely on the formation plates and formation flags purchased.
These formation plates and formation flags are made by formation masters in Canglan Market. Cultivators who know some formation knowledge can use formation plates and formation flags to set up large formations.
However, due to his lack of understanding of the formation, he could only follow the basic changes of the formation plate, which greatly limited the Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Transformations Formation.
Only by truly comprehending a large formation and knowing the many changes of this large formation can the Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Transformations Formation exert more power.
"When the turmoil in the Qingzhou cultivation world ends and I break through the late stage of foundation building, I may consider joining the Yunshui Sect again to obtain the formation inheritance of the Dharma Transmission Hall."
After a brief consideration, Chu Chen still set his sights on the Yunshui Sect.
Forces such as Wanbao Pavilion also have formation inheritance, but they are not as complete as the Yunshui Sect's formation inheritance.
Moreover, joining the Yunshui Sect can get free access to the Yunshui Sect again. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the formation inheritance?
As for the problem of the nature of mana, it needs to be solved by the Dream Marrying Divine Power.
Because of the Longevity Dao Fruit, the Dream Marrying Divine Power has become similar to the innate divine power, but it is restricted by Chu Chen's cultivation, and the power that the Dream Marrying Divine Power can exert is limited.
As Chu Chen's cultivation became more and more profound, he also studied other uses of the Marrying Dream Divine Power.
For example, with the help of the Marrying Dream Divine Power, a small dream world can be constructed to wrap one's own magic power, which can achieve the effect of temporarily changing the essence of one's own magic power.
The time this dream world can exist is linked to Chu Chen's cultivation.
With Chu Chen's current cultivation, this dream world can only exist for five or six years. If he uses this method to join the Yunshui Sect at this moment, there is a possibility of being exposed.
When he breaks through the late stage of foundation building, this dream world can exist for twenty years, which is enough for him to safely spend twenty years of white work in the Yunshui Sect.
Even if it is exposed, he can leave calmly.
"There is no rush for this."
The breakthrough of realm cultivation is not something that can be achieved in a short time.
Besides, the turmoil in the Qingzhou cultivation world has not ended yet, so there is no rush to return to the Yunshui Sect.
After arranging the formation, Chu Chen opened up three more medicinal fields, a total of nine acres, and integrated spiritual objects such as wood spirit soil to improve the environment of the medicinal fields.
Plant the spiritual medicines such as Qingxuan vine and purple jade horse and let the little white mouse take good care of them.
"Wait five years, and you can get a batch of purple jade horse for refining Heqi Dan. However, it will take a few more years to refine the auxiliary medicine for refining Shishen Baodan."
The auxiliary medicine for refining Shishen Baodan is of higher grade than the auxiliary medicine for refining Heqi Dan.
Chu Chen's current goal is to refine Heqi Dan, and there is no need to rush for Shishen Baodan.
After all.
Shishen Baodan is used to break through the bottleneck. He has just broken through the middle stage of foundation building, and there is still a long way to touch the threshold of the late stage of foundation building. He needs Heqi Dan to assist himself in cultivation.
Heqi Dan is mostly used to assist cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, but it does not mean that Heqi Dan is completely useless for cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building.
If the number is large enough, Heqi Dan can also improve Chu Chen's cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and then with the assistance of Shishen Baodan, he can break through the late stage of foundation building.
"When I left Canglan Market, I didn't buy the seeds of the Jinhuan Linghua for refining the second-grade intermediate elixir Jinhuan Dan. Otherwise, refining the Jinhuan Dan would improve my cultivation faster."
Chu Chen felt a little regretful.
Spiritual medicines like Jinhuan Linghua are of higher grade, and even Wanbao Pavilion occasionally runs out of stock.
After waiting for a while, Wanbao Pavilion will be able to equip them, but Chu Chen didn't dare to stay in Yunshui Sect for too long, so he had to give up waiting.
On the contrary, Chu Chen bought the seeds of the blue leaf Xuancao for refining the second-grade high-grade elixir Luo'e Xuandan.
However, Luo'e Xuandan is a second-grade high-grade elixir, which is mostly used to increase the mana of late-stage foundation-building cultivators. It is a bit of a waste to use it for cultivation in the middle-stage foundation-building cultivators.
Moreover, it takes much longer for the blue leaf Xuancao to mature than the purple jade horse.
In the environment of the cave medicine field, even if there are little white mice to nourish the Yimu Spirit, it will take 20 years for the blue leaf Xuancao to mature, which is far slower than cultivating the purple jade horse.
"Two stone chambers are enough."
Chu Chen found rocks outside his cave, cut them into bricks, and built two stone chambers.
One was used as a quiet room for retreat and cultivation, and the other was used as an alchemy room.
At this point, the transformation of this cave was completed.
Entering the quiet room, he gathered spiritual energy with the Qingtian Sense Spirit Mirror and began his hard life.
"Boom!"
Chu Chen activated the Soul-Snatching Sutra, and countless spiritual energy gathered and poured into his body.
Unlike Qianyuan Gong, with the foundation of practicing the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra, the progress of the Soul-Snatching Sutra is extremely fast, steadily moving towards the great perfection of the treasure body, that is, the level of the late stage of foundation building.
The more he practiced, the more Chu Chen felt that the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra was extraordinary.
The path of physical cultivation is far more difficult than that of legal cultivation. It requires a lot of cultivation resources to support it. Only by breaking the limit of flesh and blood again and again can it break through to the next realm.
Taking the foundation building period as an example, if a physical cultivator wants to break through to the next realm, the cultivation resources consumed are three to four times that of a legal cultivator.
But because of the Soul-stealing Body-building Sutra, Chu Chen's physique has become extremely compatible with the Soul-stealing Sutra. Without consuming too many resources, the speed of cultivation is amazingly fast.
In just a few years, Chu Chen has taken a big step in the realm of minor success of the treasure body.
"In another ten years, I can break through the realm of major success of the treasure body."
An hour later, Chu Chen completed the practice of the Soul-stealing Sutra and showed a smile on his face.
Then, he began to practice the foundation-building spells such as Qianyuan Gong, Taiyi Yangshen Shu, alchemy, and Shenyan Feichuang Shu.
Then he comprehended the Nine Palaces Wanhua Array and the Puppetry.
Puppetry has been obtained for a long time, but Chu Chen has never had the opportunity to study it. Now he has enough time to study it.
