Chapter 80 The Road to Immortality Is Long and Arduous
The first difficulty is the fifteen-year analysis time.
Fifteen years is just the time required for the Hetu Luoshu to completely analyze the Hades Formation. If the subsequent deduction, improvement, and simplification of the formation are taken into account, it is still unknown how long it will take.
The second difficulty is the formation eye, or the medium.
With Su Ming's cultivation and strength, he naturally cannot master the extremely high-level power of spatial force. If he wants to arrange the Hades Formation, the material containing spatial force, such as the Kongming Stone, is indispensable.
Even if it can be improved through the Hetu Luoshu, the most that can be used is to replace the Kongming Stone.
Without a spatial treasure as a medium, if you want to use the power of the formation alone to move the spatial force, it has exceeded the upper limit of the second- and third-level formations, and the fourth-level formation may not be able to do it.
"In all these years of cultivation, let alone the third-level Kongming Stone, with my cultivation level, the only space-attribute items I can touch are probably storage bags and spirit beast bags..."
"But if I really use the storage bag as a medium, I'm afraid the storage bag will explode before the formation takes effect..."
"If you want to carry the space teleportation formation, the second-level space treasure is not safe, at least the third-level is required..."
Su Ming thought of this and shook his head.
Except for the storage bag, any treasure with space attributes in the world of cultivation is extremely rare, how can it be so easy to find.
The third biggest problem is Su Ming's physical strength.
According to the "Yuxu Formation Classic", unless it is a third-level physical cultivation, ordinary cultivators who use the Hades Formation for space teleportation must have the Secret Treasure Great Relocation Order to protect their bodies.
Otherwise, the physical body cannot withstand the strong pressure generated by space teleportation, and the cultivator who is finally sent over may not be complete, and it is very likely to be "short of weight" or directly turn into a pool of meat paste.
"For other cultivators, the spatial pressure generated by the Hades Formation can be avoided with the help of the Great Movement Order..."
"If I carve the formation with my body, the Hades Formation will be combined with my body, and this spatial pressure is difficult to avoid with external force. The physical strength must be sufficient..."
"According to the realm of the Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique, even if the Hades Formation is simplified to the second level, it is necessary to practice to the fifth level, and resist the level of inferior spiritual tools to resist the spatial pressure generated by the formation..."
"No, the fifth level is not reliable, it is estimated that the sixth or seventh level is safe..."
Su Ming roughly calculated and felt that only when the Heavy Water Body Tempering Technique reached the sixth level, he was qualified to carve a simplified version of the Hades Formation on his body, otherwise it would be easy to turn into meat paste when the formation was activated.
The fourth major problem is naturally the strength of Su Ming's spiritual consciousness, or the level of formation.
With the assistance of the River Map and Luoshu, the level of Su Ming's formation is often limited by cultivation and spiritual consciousness.
It's not that there is no room for improvement in the Water Virtue Formation on his body, but with Su Ming's spiritual power, he can't achieve the level of three formations in one.
The Water Virtue Formation is originally a composite formation composed of the "Water Spirit Gathering Formation" and the "Sunflower Water Formation", and its level has reached the second-level upper grade.
If it can go one step further and achieve the integration of the three formations, it can be transformed into a second-level top-grade formation like the Xuantu Rock Formation.
However, the level of formation art of integrating the three formations into one is generally only achieved by third-level formation masters.
He wants to achieve the integration of the three formations, but his spiritual power is far from enough.
"With the help of the River Map and Luoshu and the True Soul Flame, my spiritual power is far superior to that of the cultivators of the same level. If my cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building, I should be able to barely touch the threshold of the integration of the three formations..."
Su Ming thought to himself.
Originally, according to his plan, he was going to carve another water-based killing formation on his body in the late stage of foundation building, and combine it with the Water Virtue Formation to upgrade to a second-level top-grade formation.
By then, Su Ming, as a walking second-level top-grade formation, will have no rivals below the Jindan stage, and his overall strength will never be weaker than Fang Yuechan who comprehended the sword evil thunder sound back then.
But now that he has the Hades Formation, Su Ming prefers this ancient teleportation formation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators who are good at fighting may not live long, but cultivators who run fast are generally very long-lived.
"The immortal road is long and far, I will search up and down..."
Looking at the "Yuxu Formation Classic" in his hand, Su Ming was a little emotional.
It took him fifteen years to analyze a formation.
For Su Ming, who started the cultivation path at the age of ten and is now forty, fifteen years can almost cover nearly half of his cultivation life.
For immortal cultivators, time seems to be never enough. The more they practice, the more they feel that the immortal road is vast and they are insignificant.
Shaking his head, Su Ming gathered his scattered mind and put the "Yuxu Formation Classic" back into the storage bag.
Instead of lamenting the lack of time, it is better to seize every minute and every second to improve your cultivation.
So.
Even if you eventually fall on the road to becoming an immortal, you will have less regrets in your heart.
After putting away the "Yuxu Formation Classic", Su Ming took out a familiar small jade bottle from his storage bag. He opened it and saw that it contained a longan-sized elixir with a faint green halo.
It was the foundation-building elixir.
With the "legacy" left by Liu Chengxuan, Liu Yan's wealth far exceeded that of ordinary Qi-refining disciples and was comparable to that of ordinary early-stage foundation-building cultivators.
But for Su Ming, the wealth of ordinary early-stage foundation-building cultivators was nothing.
In the four years on the battlefield, the number of early-stage foundation-building cultivators who died in his hands exceeded one palm.
With the "war wealth", although Su Ming did not refine many talismans in the past four years, the number of spirit stones in his storage bag was close to 100,000.
In Liu Yan's storage bag, apart from this foundation-building pill, there was basically nothing that Su Ming could take notice of.
"The disciples of the Qi Refining Stage are eager to get it, but after reaching the Foundation-Building Stage, there are too many to use..."
Su Ming looked at the Foundation-Building Pill in front of him and whispered to himself.
Su Ming was not going to sell this Foundation-Building Pill, but to keep it in his hands.
After all, five or six thousand spirit stones were dispensable to him, but a Foundation-Building Pill could make the disciples of the Qi Refining Stage willing to work for him.
The Foundation-Building Pill was not hard to sell, and if he kept it in his hands, he might be able to use it someday.
"For me, the most urgent thing is the position of the True Disciple..."
After sorting out the things he had obtained from this hunting order, Su Ming looked at the spirit beast bag on his waist and thought to himself.
After capturing Zhang Sifan alive and providing information about the destruction of Jinyang City, Su Ming received a total of 500 military merits, which was equal to the total military merits he had obtained in the previous four years.
However, he still needed 2,500 combat merits to be exchanged for the position of a true disciple.
If he had not been targeted by Meng Xinyi, with Su Ming's strength, he could have worked hard in the Hehuan Sect war zone for a few years and almost collected this amount of combat merits.
Now that he knew Meng Xinyi's identity, Su Ming naturally could not continue to accept the bounty missions in the Hehuan Sect war zone.
With Meng Xinyi, the "crazy woman", around, the danger level of the Hehuan Sect war zone was even greater than the fierce fighting in the Yuling Sect war zone in his opinion.
