Chapter 622 – Revisiting the Dao of Formation

Chapter 622: Remodeling the Formation Path
The Steward collected his thoughts and looked at Xu Wanran who was on the side.

“Come with me, from today onwards, you are an outer disciple of the Easy Sect.”

As the Steward brought Xu Wanran to familiarize herself with the sect, Xu Chuniang had already returned to Little Witch Mountain.

After the rebuilding of the Easy Sect, Little Witch Mountain’s aura was once again abundant.

However, for Xu Chuniang, who already had YuanYing cultivation, this amount of spiritual qi was not of much use.

In addition, the entire Little Witch Mountain had been allocated to her, and Sect Master Yue Lingzheng had even explicitly ordered other cultivators in the sect not to approach Little Witch Mountain at will.

After revisiting her hometown, Xu Chuniang’s uneasiness that was hidden in the bottom of her heart had quietly subsided without her realizing it.

She removed the silk flower on her head and gazed at it carefully.

Granny was right, this place is my hometown, home is always in her heart, it has never changed.

Xu Chuniang treasured the silk flower and put it away, and the things she had been hesitating about in her heart were finally resolved at this moment.

She sat down on her knees, looked into her Yuan Shen, and found the memories hidden in her Yuan Shen.

She integrated all the memories related to formations together, except for the Spirit Locking Formation, and the part related to the Zhou Family Formations.

These formation-related memories spanned nearly a hundred years of light, and removing them was like cutting flesh.

Xu Chuniang’s eyes revealed reluctance, but her movements were unambiguous, directly using the techniques of the Spirit Locking Formation to seal all the formations she had learned in the past.

The moment the sealing was completed, a brief look of bewilderment appeared in her eyes, and then she returned to her normal self.

The current her had no other formation-related memories in her head other than the Zhou Family Formation.

The formation that she had learned for so many years being sealed in a hasty manner left Xu Chuniang with a feeling of emptiness in her heart and was very uncomfortable.

She took out the Zhou Family’s formation jade slip and read through it several times before slowly suppressing this feeling of discomfort.

“Formation, based on reason, set up the nine palaces and eight trigrams of change also ……

Changes, according to the array of reason is also, all changes do not change, return to the reason of nature also.”

Xu Chuniang put down the jade slip, her eyes revealed a thoughtful color, and took out a copy of the commonly used fire crystal stone.

According to the Zhou Family Formation, everything has its own reasoning, based on the things used in the formation, the formation should be laid out in accordance with its reasoning, in order to lay out a perfect formation.

This fire crystal stone was fire in all five elements, utilizing its characteristics, one could set up a level one five element fire formation.

Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and took out seven more fire crystals, laying down each of the eight fire crystals according to their orientation, urging her body’s spiritual qi to transform into fire spiritual qi, causing a connection between these fire crystals.

After several attempts, the fire crystal stone in the east position finally lit up, emitting a subtle fire light.

Immediately afterward, the fire crystal stone in the southeast direction also lit up, similarly emitting fire light.

But at this time, the south of the fire crystal stone “bang” sound, violently exploded, the fire flames up half a zhang high.

After the fire crystal stone in the south exploded, the two fire crystals that were previously lit up also exploded one after another, announcing the failure of this formation.

With a wave of her hand, Xu Chuniang cleaned up the remnants of the shattered fire crystal stone, and her divine sense swept over the remaining five fire crystal stones.

These five fire crystals looked as good as new and had not been affected in any way.

She carefully recalled the way she had set up the formation, the orientation of the fire crystal stones, and the amount of fire aura, and quickly found the reason for the failure.

Formations were based on formation theory, and a tiny mistake could lead to a huge error, and a small mistake would affect the entire formation.

Just now, the orientation of the fire crystal stone in the main south was somewhat shifted, causing the fire spiritual qi to increase violently when it was passed to the main south, which led to the fire crystal stone blowing up.

After figuring out what the problem was, Xu Chuniang once again took out three fire crystal stones and rearranged the orientation.

Following the reasoning of all things and laying out a formation in a way that conformed to its reasoning was simple to say, but in reality, the requirements for the person laying out the formation were extremely high.

Not only did it require the person who set up the formation to understand the principles of the formation and adapt to changes, but it also required the ability to accurately control the spiritual qi. Fortunately, Xu Chuniang, as a YuanYing cultivator, had reached an extremely high level in terms of both her enlightenment and her control of her aura.

Even so, she had failed dozens of times to set up the simplest level one formation.

However, every failure made Xu Chuniang realize her shortcomings and brought her closer to success.

Her mind gradually settled, and only the eight fire crystal stones located in different directions remained in her eyes.

Without realizing it, she entered a state of forgetfulness.

This time, after placing the fire crystals in eight different directions, she did not slow down and did not rush, and then injected a Water Spiritual Qi into them.

Water can overcome fire, and putting water aura into the fire crystals could prevent the fire crystals from blowing up.

A wisp of water aura from east to west, through the eight pieces of fire spirit fire crystal stone counterclockwise rotation for a week, disappeared.

The originally somewhat agitated fire crystal stones were pressurized by the water aura and fell into a short period of tranquility.

Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, carefully separating out a Fire Spirit Qi and sending it into the fire crystal stone in the east.

“Snort, snort, snort ……”

Several subtle sounds rang out, and the fire crystal stone lit up one after another.

At the same time, the center of the formation glowed greatly, instantly turning into a blazing fire.

At this point, the Grade 1 Five Elements Fire Formation, which was set up with eight fire crystal stones, had finally succeeded.

Looking at this grade one formation in front of her, Xu Chuniang was invigorated.

During the process of setting up the formation, there seemed to be a certain voice in the back of her mind that kept saying that using a single fire crystal stone would not be able to successfully set up the formation at all.

Under the influence of this voice, she had failed no less than ten times.

In the end, she ruthlessly ignored that voice, and with a stubborn streak, she repeated her attempts many times before finally succeeding in one go.

“The Zhou Family Formation may seem difficult, but it’s actually quite easy once you master the method.”

With a wave of her hand, Xu Chuniang removed the Grade 1 Five Elements Fire Formation in front of her, took out eight water condensation beads, and attempted to set up a Grade 1 Five Elements Water Formation.

This time, it only took a few days of work, and she was able to successfully set up the Five Elements Water Formation with the water condensation beads.

The eight crystal clear water condensation beads were located in eight directions, independent of each other, not interfering with each other, yet combined together due to some kind of marvelous connection.

Having mastered the Level 1 Five Elements Fire Formation and the Five Elements Water Formation, the next step would only require some time to create the other Five Elements Formations as they were.

Xu Chuniang withdrew the Five Elements Water Formation, but did not rush to try out the other Five Elements Formations, instead taking out four Fire Crystal Stones and four Water Condensation Beads.

Using these two spiritual materials, it seemed like she could set up a Water and Fire Both Formation?

She carefully recalled the formation theory, and it was indeed feasible in theory.

However, compared to a single five element formation, the Water and Fire Both Formation was more difficult.

But rising to the challenge seemed to be something she had always done.

Since she had chosen the line of formations, she had to exhaust the theory of formations and calculate the thousands of changes in the formations.

Xu Chuniang placed the Fire Crystal Stones in the east, south, west, and north positions, and then placed the Water Condensation Pearls in the four corner positions, so that they were two by two and echoed each other.

After several attempts, she had successfully created the Water and Fire Jet Formation.

Water and fire are incompatible, but in the Jiji Formation, the fire crystal stone and the condensation bead each in its own place, naturally compatible.

Compared to a single five element water formation or fire formation, the power was more than several times stronger.
