It took Deng Ming several years to understand this formation. But now, Mister Wen was able to break it with ease. If Deng Ming was here, then only a formation master who had broken this formation would be able to do so. Otherwise, even a formation master would have to spend a lot of effort to break it open. But Mister Wen didn't expect Deng Ming to be able to do so with such ease.
Mister Wen looked at the fourth formation in front of him and took out a formation plate. Then, he started to scatter hundreds of formation tools in all directions. Each tool was placed in a different position. Mister Wen then pressed three top quality spirit stones into the formation plate. Suddenly, the formation lit up with eighteen light spots. These were the twelve nodes that Deng Ming had spent several years to find.
Then, Mister Wen made an incantation gesture and the hundreds of formation tools around him lit up with a misty white light. Then, Mister Wen made the incantation gesture even faster. Suddenly, the eighteen light spots on the formation began to move and rearranged themselves into an irregular shape. Then, they became still again.
Then, Mr. Wen stopped his movements. He looked at the nodes of the spell formation in front of him, but he still didn't feel at ease. So, he stretched out his hand and patted the formation plate. The three top-grade spirit stones were smashed into powder, and a third of the hundreds of spell formation tools scattered in the surroundings were also blown up.
At this moment, the eighteen nodes on the protective shield of the array flickered again. Then, an even more amazing phenomenon occurred. Outside the eighteen irregular light spots, a dim light spot gradually began to flicker, and then became brighter and brighter until it was the same size as the other eighteen light spots.
This wasn't the end of it. Then, a second light spot began to twinkle on the barrier. Then, a third light spot appeared on the barrier. Mister Wen heaved a sigh of relief. He then said to himself, "It won't be easy to get out of here."
If Deng Ming were here, then he would've been shocked by Mister Wen's methods.
Not only did Mister Wen not weaken the formation, but he also strengthened it. According to Mister Wen's understanding, even a Great Formation Master wouldn't be able to do this, let alone in such a short period of time.
It must be known that the protective formation of the Kongming Sect was a very large system. The formations were interconnected with each other, forming a very intricate whole. In the past, the overseas sects had joined forces to break this intricate formation. Many Dharma Adepts had joined forces and expended a lot of energy. But, they had only been able to break it.
The Kongming Sect's formation had stood strong for thousands of years. This was partly due to the meticulous maintenance of the formation by the previous generations of formation masters. But, the most important factor was the stability of the formation. It could be said that a slight change in one part could affect the entire formation.
Under these circumstances, the only ones who could change the Kongming Sect's protective formation were the formation masters of the Kongming Sect. There were only a limited number of them who could become experts. If one could force them to be divided into two levels, then it would depend on whether they could weaken or strengthen the Sect's formation.
Weakening was easy, but strengthening was extremely difficult.
The protective formation of the Kongming Sect was meticulously laid out by the formation masters of the Kongming Sect. Only they were able to continuously improve the formation as they continued to study the formation. Mister Wen was able to do the same. This meant that Mister Wen's attainments in formations were at least at the level of the formation masters of the Kongming Sect. In the entire world of practitioners, Mister Wen stood at the pinnacle of the formation masters.
Mister Wen didn't stay here for long. Instead, he blocked Lu Ping and the others' escape route. Then, he turned to the side and opened the third array formation. The fourth array formation was right next to the other array formation's periphery.
"Eh?"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ping asked casually as he looked at Deng Ming, who was looking behind him with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing. Maybe it's because I've spent four to five years trying to break this array formation, but now, I've broken it in less than two months. It feels unreal. It's as if this array formation isn't the one I broke earlier at all."
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "That's normal. After all, you and I worked together to break through the array formation. You didn't have much time to accumulate. After we achieve our goal, you can always return to your studies. I'm sure you'll make great progress in the art of array formations."
Deng Ming turned his attention back to the fifth formation and said, "Improvement is inevitable. This time, with Senior's help, junior's improvement on the path of formations will definitely be shortened by several years. Not to mention, there's still the corpse in front of us. Even if he's not a formation grandmaster, he's at least at the pinnacle of the standard grandmaster level for being able to make it here."
Through the formation shield, the corpse inside could be seen more clearly.
Lu Ping smiled and didn't answer. At this time, his attention was not on Deng Ming's investigation of the formation. Instead, he was walking casually in the small space covered by the fourth formation, as if he was taking a walk. At the same time, he seemed to be surprised by everything in this space and looked around.
With Lu Ping's support for spiritual materials, Deng Ming could finally relax a little and make some adequate preparations. However, these spiritual materials could only be used as formation tools. Some were simple tools or substitutes made by Deng Ming's snacks. This made Lu Ping sigh. No wonder the cultivation world said that individual cultivators were the real all-rounders.
Because they didn't have the support of sects and forces, every step forward on the road of cultivation was extremely difficult. In order to make full use of the limited resources in their hands, they had to understand all kinds of aspects: cultivating and identifying spiritual herbs, alchemy, refining weapons, making talismans, searching for ores, and so on.
However, it was also because of this that they had to spend more energy to learn and experiment these things, which greatly shortened their cultivation time. In the end, the strength of individual cultivators was weaker than that of cultivators of the same level.
Seeing that Lu Ping was so leisurely, Deng Ming didn't dare to say anything at first. However, after a long time, seeing that Lu Ping was still so undisciplined, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and said, "Senior, can you help me …"
Lu Ping said "Oh" and asked curiously, "Can we start to break the formation now?"
Deng Ming was speechless for a while. After a while, he said, "Senior, you should use the 'Sanqing True Pupils' to check if you can find one or two nodes, right? Or perhaps you can look around and see if there are any other flaws? "
As long as he didn't break the formation by force, other methods didn't matter. Only by breaking the formation could Deng Ming have the opportunity to analyze and learn the formation. Everything else was just empty talk.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Lu Ping was suddenly enlightened. He hurried to the fifth formation and was about to check it carefully. However, he seemed to think of something and turned to Deng Ming and said, "Actually, I have a Restriction Breaking Talisman here. If you are in a hurry to get the remains in the fifth formation, I can help you!"
Deng Ming was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said, "The Formation Breaking Talisman can break a Formation, but it's different from the traditional method of breaking a Formation. Using it to break a Formation will either completely destroy the Formation or completely repair it. It's impossible to calculate the foundation, nodes, and Spiritual Energy of the Formation because there won't be any traces left behind. Therefore, it's useless to study Formations."
Speaking of this, Deng Ming seemed to think of something and continued, "What's more, using a Restriction Breaking Talisman to break the formation is too extravagant!"
Lu Ping didn't want to study the formation. He wanted to find what he wanted as soon as possible and then leave this place to pass the first Thunder Tribulation. Moreover, at this time, he thought of the weak situation of the formation when he used the Formation Breaking Talisman in the Yingtian Taoism Field. Therefore, he thought for a while and asked, "How many colors of Restriction Breaking Talisman do you think are needed to break this formation?"
"Five colors?"
Deng Ming was a little uncertain. He had only heard about the power of the Formation Breaking Talisman and saw a few words in the incomplete inheritance. With his status, how could he see such a high-level talisman? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited when he saw Lu Ping use the Three-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman for the first time.
However, he was a Formation Master after all. Even if he hadn't seen the Restriction Breaking Talisman before, he could still estimate its power. Then, he gave Lu Ping a positive answer and said, "Well, it shouldn't be a problem to use the Five-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman to break a space door. If we use the Seven-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman directly, we should be able to completely destroy this formation. However, in that case, we don't need to live anymore. Even if we don't die from the chain effect of the broken formation, we will be surrounded and beaten to death by the Formation Masters who rush here after hearing the news."
"What if we use the Three-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman to weaken the formation first? In this way, we may be able to find the flaw of this formation together. Then, we can slowly open the door of the formation. In this way, not only can we shorten the time to break the formation, but it won't affect your study of formation."
Deng Ming was stunned. After thinking for a while, it seemed that Lu Ping's method was indeed feasible, but …
"This is indeed a method, but it will be a waste of the Formation Breaking Talisman. It is too extravagant."
Extravagant?
Lu Ping used his spiritual sense to scan the three stacks of different colored talismans in his storage device. Among them, the most stacks were the Three-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman. There were a total of seventeen of them. The second stack was the Four-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman, and the last stack was the Five-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman. However, there were a total of eight of them. This was also because Lu Ping's success rate in crafting the Five-Color Restriction Breaking Talisman had greatly increased.
Other than that, Lu Ping still had two Seven-Color Restriction Breaking Talismans that he had obtained from Tian Xue Laozu. However, these two were much more important. Lu Ping had placed them in a meticulously sealed Spirit Sealing Box.
