Chapter 151 City Defense Formation (1/2)

Although there are many arrays used in puppetry, in fact, the arrays on the puppets are not the same as the arrays for defending the mountain gate.

The defensive arrays need to be adapted to local conditions. Feng Tianzong also learned this part of knowledge when he returned to the sect last time, but he has not yet started.

As for the arrays in puppetry, you only need to understand the materials for refining puppets. After all, the arrays used in refining puppets are all inside the puppets and will not be affected by the outside world.

Although it is also very complicated, there are indeed fewer things to consider.

In fact, including alchemy, talisman making, these common skills of immortal cultivators, he had contact with them when he returned to the sect to become a disciple, but these are ultimately chores, not the right way. For immortal cultivators, cultivation is the right way, and supernatural powers are the hard truth.

All other kinds of talisman making and alchemy are just auxiliary means. It is better to have it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it, it doesn’t affect anything.

What talisman master, alchemy master, on the surface, is indeed respected, but there is a prerequisite, these masters must have a high level of cultivation.

If a Qi-refining cultivator, even if his alchemy skills are higher than those of a Jindan cultivator, no one will respect him. Maybe he will be caught and used as a donkey.

[Formation: Not yet started (can consume time to improve - 3 years)]

Three years is just a drop in the bucket for Feng Tianzong now, and he doesn't even blink an eye when he spends it.

[Spend three years of tax money to learn formation knowledge. Not yet started with formation - first level elementary]

The effort of a moment was stretched to three years. After three years of hard work to learn formation knowledge, with the foundation of puppetry, he finally got started with this technology.

More is some knowledge of mountains and rivers, different terrains, how to arrange the formation, and the need to consider the problem of adapting to local conditions.

The formation knowledge that has just been introduced is just to understand some simple formation nodes. The more formation nodes, the greater the power of the formation. The more things need to be considered when arranging, the more complicated it is.

[Array: First-level primary (Time consumption to upgrade - 10 years)]

Only ten years, continue to upgrade.

[Array: First-level intermediate (Time consumption to upgrade - 50 years)]

First-level intermediate, some low-level arrays in the sect, he has been familiar with them, as long as he has the materials, he can arrange them.

Judging from the time consumed, his talent in array is still good, array knowledge is absolutely broad and profound, in fact, it is much more complicated than alchemy and talisman making.

To make an alchemy, you only need to know the recipe, control the temperature, and add herbs one by one. It is complicated, but to put it bluntly, it is a process of practice makes perfect. As long as you practice more, you can make it well.

The same is true for talisman making. As long as you understand the energy operation of a spell, you can easily draw a talisman. It is also a skill that practice makes perfect.

But arrays are different. This thing needs to be adapted to local conditions. Different terrains require changes in the nodes of the array. More complex arrays even need to change the local astronomical phenomena. Astronomy and geography are all-encompassing. If you want to master the formation, you need to learn too many things.

The more Feng Tianzong learns, the brighter his eyes become. It turns out that his talent lies here.

It is true that a person is born with talent. It is impossible for a person to have no talent at all. It is just possible that he has no talent in this industry, but he may be a genius in other industries.

[Spend fifty years of tax money to learn formation knowledge. Formation level 1 intermediate - level 1 advanced]

[Formation: level 1 advanced (can consume time to upgrade - 100 years)]

Feng Tianzong did not hesitate. It was only a hundred years. He practiced. The formation knowledge was directly upgraded to the second level elementary.

The second-level formation master is not common anymore. Many Jindan-stage cultivators have reached the level of the second-level formation master.

If the second-level formation faces a foundation-building cultivator who does not understand the formation, as long as the other party dares to enter the formation, it is enough to kill the other party. Even if it is a cultivator who knows the formation, the two sides will fight, and it depends on whose formation knowledge is more advanced and more profound. The person who sets up the formation always has the upper hand.

The formation is ultimately just a way of using the energy of heaven and earth. It has its limits. As long as the opponent has a high level of cultivation, he can still force his way out of the formation. The second-level formation cannot stop a cultivator in the Jindan period. Even if the opponent does not understand the formation, he can still force the formation out.

For Feng Tianzong, the second-level formation is not enough, and he needs to continue to improve.

It only takes 150 years for the second-level beginner to be promoted to the second-level intermediate. Feng Tianzong took a look at the remaining nearly 900 years of tax revenue, and did not hesitate to continue to improve.

The second-level intermediate formation has already involved a lot of knowledge of using the earth veins as an energy source, but this is not enough.

After consuming 200 years of taxes, the formation knowledge was upgraded to the second-level advanced level, and then another 300 years of taxes were consumed, directly advancing the formation to the third-level early stage.

Tax revenue: 247 years.

Feng Tianzong advanced the formation knowledge to the level of the third-level early stage in one breath. The third-level formation not only uses the earth veins as energy, but can also draw the sun, moon and stars in the sky as energy to drive the formation.

"Although it consumed eight hundred years of taxes, it is indeed not a loss. It turns out that the formation can be arranged like this." Feng Tianzong laughed up to the sky and said.

He planned to set up a large formation in Liaoyuan City. If any cultivators dared to invade his territory in the future, he would make them come but never return.

The improvement of his knowledge of formations also made him understand the battle formations of Taoist soldiers. To put it bluntly, the battle formations of Taoist soldiers are actually a simple application of formations.

It's just the materials and nodes of the Taoist soldiers' formations. With Feng Tianzong's current knowledge of formations, he can use them casually.

Although he doesn't have Taoist soldiers, he has puppets. Now he has thousands of iron and wood puppets under his command. These puppets have low combat effectiveness and can only exist as coolies in the world of immortal cultivation.

Feng Tianzong originally wanted to use these iron and wood puppets to fight against the army of mortals and dominate the world.

But later, as he gradually understood the mortal dragon battle, he knew that the so-called dragon battle was actually the stage for the new generation of talented disciples of the major sects to show themselves.

Then these iron and wood puppets can't be used against the mortal army. Now these iron and wood puppets can be used as nodes to form a battle formation.

There were still 247 years of tax revenue left, but Feng Tianzong didn't save any of it. He used it to improve his Liantian Yishu. It was so convenient to be able to tell fortunes. Although it was only an entry-level Liantian Yishu, Feng Tianzong had already experienced all kinds of conveniences.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

It felt like a search engine. If you wanted to know something, you could just count it with your fingers and you would know everything.

[Liantian Yishu: First-level initial stage (time consumption to improve - one hundred years)]

It is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is indeed easy to learn but difficult to master. It takes one hundred years to upgrade from the first-level initial stage to the middle stage, and this is only the first level.

However, Feng Tianzong, who was used to convenience, did not hesitate to upgrade directly.

[Consume taxes for a hundred years, upgrade Liantian Yishu, first stage early stage - first stage middle stage]

Liantian Yishu is indeed profound and profound. Feng Tianzong's efforts in an instant were stretched to a hundred years.

Before, when he was in the first stage early stage, he was just getting started, and could only calculate the past of mortals and calculate those things that had happened, with 100% accuracy.

After being promoted to the first stage middle stage, he could calculate the future of mortals. However, the future can be changed, so it is not 100% accurate, and can only be calculated to 70% or 80% of the possibility.

The more mortals are involved with cultivators, the more unpredictable their future is.

For example, he could not calculate the future of several women around Feng Tianzong, because these women were too deeply involved with him, and the future could change at any time because of his decision.

Now he suddenly understood why there would be chaos before every catastrophe. Because in the catastrophe, cultivators died one after another. At any time, a certain idea could change the future.

During a catastrophe, there are countless possibilities for the future. If one thing moves the whole body, calculating the future of one person is actually equivalent to calculating the future of all cultivators. Even saints cannot predict this, which is different from usual times.

Although the current situation is not a catastrophe, the world is fighting for the dragon, and the outstanding disciples of various forces have come to the stage, which will also cause chaos in the heavenly secrets.

However, this kind of chaos can only change the future of mortals and low-level cultivators on a small scale, and it is not yet the degree to affect the heavenly secrets of the cultivation world.

Feng Tianzong suddenly had a feeling that perhaps the top leaders of the major sects actually knew the result of this dragon fight, who would win, who would lose, and who would die. Everything is clear.

Those who the sect is willing to protect will not go to the stage at all. Those who died because of the dragon fight, the sect will not stand up for them, because they are abandoned.

Feng Tianzong suddenly thought that the Puppet Sect did not participate in the dragon fight for so many years. Is it possible that the ancestor had already seen that the Puppet Sect had no hope of winning?

The water in the cultivation world is really too deep. However, Feng Tianzong was also confident that with his natural ability to collect taxes, he would eventually stand at the top of the world of immortal cultivation.

[Lian Tian Yi Shu: First-order mid-term (can consume time to upgrade - 200 years)]

Feng Tianzong originally wanted to continue to upgrade Lian Tian Yi Shu, but he didn't expect that it would take 200 years just to upgrade to the first-order advanced level. He looked at the remaining taxes and found that there were only 147 years left.

He casually added this tax to his life span, and his life span reached 921 years.

After spending all the taxes, Feng Tianzong breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just spent all his salary.

He was naturally happy in his heart because his strength had really improved.

Feng Tianzong didn't delay the moment of closing his eyes to rest. He was ready to set up a defensive formation immediately. If his nest didn't have a strong enough formation to defend it, he would not be able to sleep well.

Especially now that there are powerful enemies on the side, and there are even more behind-the-scenes people plotting against him. It's really a crisis.

With his knowledge of formations, he still lacks the ability to design a large formation. Even if he can design a formation, it can only be a low-level formation.

For a third-level formation, he has to use the existing large formation templates in the sect. As long as he makes a slight modification according to the specific situation of Liaoyuan City, he can use it.

The Puppet Sect is not a formation cultivator, but it has many inheritances of formations. There are more than a dozen third-level formations in the sect.

However, many formations need to borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to exert their power, and they cannot exert their power in the mortal world.

There are fewer formations that do not borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Feng Tianzong can only choose three.

One is the Three Talents Guarding Formation, which uses the three lights of the sun, moon and stars as the driving energy of the formation. However, after this formation is successfully arranged, it takes years and months to accumulate the three lights before it can exert its power.

The advantage is that the driving energy is relatively stable, and the formation can store the three lights. The upper limit of this formation is very high. As long as the formation exists for a long enough time, the power will become stronger.

It’s just that the energy accumulation is relatively slow. The formation can’t exert much power in the early stage of its establishment.

The second is the Earth Demon Guarding Formation, which uses the power of the earth veins as the energy core. The advantage is that it is relatively stable and does not need to accumulate energy. The formation can exert its power after it is arranged.

However, the disadvantage is that the upper limit is relatively low, and the power is difficult to increase. Once the formation is broken, it will also affect the ground veins.

The third is the Four Symbols Guarding Formation, which is a protective formation formed with the help of the power of the four divine beasts. There are indeed many advantages and the power is not weak, but the materials for the formation are very difficult to find, and the golden elixirs of four golden elixir-stage monsters are required.

These three formations have their own advantages and disadvantages. Feng Tianzong thought about it and decided to combine them. His knowledge of formations has reached the third level, and it is indeed difficult to independently design a third-level formation.

But on the basis of the current three formations, he can still barely do it by modifying and integrating them.

The ground veins must be used, and the three lights of the sun, moon and stars must also be used. Although he does not have the golden elixir of monsters in the Four Symbols Guarding Formation, he has bone spirit puppets made from monster bones in his hands.

These bone spirit puppets in the late stage of foundation building are a little worse than those in the golden elixir stage, but there are many of them.

Before he entered the golden elixir stage, he could not control too many golden elixir-stage puppets. With two Jindan-stage stone spirit puppets, Jinshi and Huishi, it was already the limit of what he could control.

Finally, Feng Tianzong integrated the cores of the three formations, with twelve bone spirit puppets at the peak of foundation building as the core, and the ground veins and three lights as the auxiliary cores.

This formation has a trapping formation and a killing formation. The center of the formation is in Weiyang Palace. Usually, the formation only uses the power of the ground veins to suppress cultivation.

Once the formation is opened, Feng Tianzong sits in Weiyang Palace and can change the formation into a killing formation with a thought. With the power of the sun, moon and stars, the twelve bone spirit puppets can be amplified. The twelve bone spirit puppets can also use the power of the battle formation to share mana. The combat effectiveness soared in the formation.

The role of the ground veins is to suppress. Even if a cultivator in the Jindan stage enters Liaoyuan City, his strength will be suppressed by three levels.

As for the cultivators in the foundation building stage, at least 70% of their strength will be suppressed, and the Qi refining cultivators will be completely suppressed, which is no different from ordinary people.
