At the rear cliff of Qingyun.
Ye Ping was a little emotional.
He carefully flipped open the secret manual in his hand.
The book looked very new and did not look old at all.
However, Ye Ping knew that it was a copy of Senior Brother Wang's insights, so it was naturally new.
He flipped open the book.
Lines of beautiful words appeared.
What he saw were four big words.
[Supreme Array]
What was a formation?
Using objects as array artifacts to adjust the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, thus evolving into unimaginable power.
However, what was a real formation?
Formations were also divided into three realms.
Everything could be used as an array artifact. Even a flower or a tree could be used as an array artifact.
All living things could be used as tools. Even plants and trees could be used as array tools. Once he made his move, the array would be like thunder. He was a master of array formations.
This was the first level.
Using heaven, earth, sun, and moon as array artifacts, the path of array formations required array diagrams and array artifacts to complement each other. The stronger the array artifact, the stronger the array formation's power, and the stronger the array diagram, the more perfect the array formation would be.
In the world, the strongest array artifacts were the heavens, the earth, the sun, the moon, the mountains, and the rivers. The dao of array formations laid out the world and devised strategies. This was a heavenly master of array formations. Although he was weak, he could kill true immortals in the mortal world.
This was the second level.
Using oneself as a formation.
How about using everything as a formation?
How about using heaven and earth as a formation?
I am the strongest array artifact in this world.
With one's own body as a formation, there would be no flaws, and he would be able to do as he pleased. He would no longer be restricted to killing formations or trapping formations. With one formation, ten thousand formations would appear. He would be undefeatable in the world, undying in the world, undying in the sun and moon, undying in the world, undying in the world, undying in the world.
This was the third level, a Divine Array Master.
…
The opening table of contents was more than 300 words long, but it made Ye Ping's blood boil.
Using all things as a formation.
Using heaven and earth as a formation.
Using oneself as a formation.
Look, look, look.
Look at what a secluded sect is!
Let's see what it means to be a hidden expert.
Could an ordinary person write such insights?
It was not that Ye Ping was bragging, but he wouldn't be able to come up with something even if ordinary people asked him to.
At this moment, Ye Ping\'s emotions were simply surging.
He continued to flip through the book and began to study seriously.
Previously in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion, Ye Ping had read books about array formations, but they were the most basic knowledge about array formations.
However, Ye Ping also knew a little about array formations.
To put it simply, the so-called Formation was based on the Formation Diagram and placed with objects to adjust the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy to produce an unparalleled ability.
And this object was a Formation Artifact.
The array diagram represented the perfection of the array formation. The more perfect the array diagram, the fewer the flaws of the array formation.
The Array Artifact represented the core of the array. The stronger the Array Artifact, the stronger the power of the array.
However, the reason why Ye Ping was shocked was that …
Senior Brother Wang had given him three Array Formation Daos that did not require an Array Artifact.
One had to know that array diagrams were easy to obtain, but array artifacts were extremely precious.
In other words, if he learned the Dao of Array Formations, he wouldn't need to buy Array Artifacts anymore.
Was there anything in this world that could make people happier than freeloading?
He calmed himself down.
Ye Ping continued to flip through the insights at the back.
Soon, a line of words appeared before his eyes.
[All Creation Array]
Those words made Ye Ping even more excited.
Ye Ping watched carefully.
Every word he said was extremely serious, and he would think about every word.
Two hours passed.
Ye Ping finally understood how impressive the book of insight Senior Brother Wang had given him was.
The first step was the All Creation Formation.
Everything in the world was an array artifact.
Every blade of grass and every tree was an array.
However, Ye Ping understood that although it seemed simple, it would be extremely difficult to put it into practice.
In order to do that, he had to awaken the array talisman.
The so-called array talisman was the medium of the All Creation Array.
There were a total of 3,600 array talismans, which corresponded to the various changes in the world.
The array talismans could also be understood as talisman characters.
Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon, Mountain, River, Stream, Grass, Wood, Essence, Flower.
There were a total of 3,600 array talismans.
They could be disassembled or combined to evolve into infinite array patterns.
Only then could he truly turn everything into a formation.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping finally understood that the seemingly ordinary Senior Brother Wang had imparted him the most profound insights.
Although Su Changyu had imparted him the Sword Dao, it was from simple to complicated.
It was the same for the Dao of alchemy that Su Changyu had imparted to him.
However, the Dao of array formations that Su Changyu had imparted to him was full of mystery.
There were notes from Su Changyu that the 3,600 array talismans were extremely difficult to grasp and he could not be too hasty. He could only try to understand them and comprehend as many as he could.
Ye Ping fumbled on his own for several hours.
In the end, he felt that it was about time and hid the insights in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, he began to comprehend the array talismans.
According to the array diagram in the insights, he used a long sword to draw the diagram and then sat cross-legged in the center of the array diagram. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of spiritual energy surged out of his spirit meridians and augmented the array diagram.
The Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures were also continuously releasing spiritual energy to maintain the effect of the array diagram.
Just like that, Ye Ping began to focus on his epiphany.
On the other hand …
Wang Zhuoyu was sitting on the desk.
The candle flame flickered and he looked at the book in his hand with his eyes full of desire.
"Sigh, how great would it be if I could master array symbols. With 3,600 array symbols, let alone 10 or 20, even if I could master just one array symbol, I would be able to become an array master in one leap. I wouldn't even need to participate in the assessment."
"The best array formation master in Qingzhou has only mastered one array talisman, and it's a nurturing array talisman. He can only set up a nourishing array formation, but even so, he's still a distinguished guest of countless powerhouses in Qingzhou."
Wang Zhuoyu was filled with emotions.
The book in his hand had the words "3,600 array talismans" written on it.
The Formation Lineage was also divided into aptitude. However, the aptitude of the Formation Lineage was not the ability to comprehend, but the Formation Talismans. Mastering the Formation Talismans was equivalent to mastering the core of a Formation. This was because every Formation Talisman had its own Formation Diagram and could strengthen the corresponding Formation.
For example, if one mastered the 'nurturing' array talisman, they would be able to directly obtain an array diagram related to the 'nurturing' array talisman, such as nourishing one's health, body, and pets.
At the same time, setting up some nourishing array formations would also have additional effects that could extend one's life and nourish one's physical body. Even if one was an ordinary cultivator, if there was an array formation master, he would be able to set up a nourishing array formation using the 'nurturing' array talisman.
A mortal body could become a spirit body.
This was the horror of array formations, and also the horror of array talismans.
Anyone who could master an array talisman would instantly become an influential figure in Qingzhou. The powerhouses, including Daoist Siji, would have to treat them as a distinguished guest. There was no other reason than that array formations could do countless incredible things.
However, at this moment, Wang Zhuoyu put down the book in his hand and muttered to himself.
"If I can really master an array talisman, which one should I choose?"
Wang Zhuoyu began to fantasize. He liked to fantasize when he had nothing to do.
"Time array talisman?"
Wang Zhuoyu thought to himself.
However, he soon blushed a little.
Among the 3,600 array talismans, there was no ranking because each array talisman would have a magical effect if used properly. However, even so, the array formation lineage still listed the top ten array talismans.
The time array talisman was ranked first because the Time Array was different from others. If a peerless array formation master were to set up the Time Array, one year in the array formation would be equivalent to one day outside the array formation. How terrifying would that be?
How many things could one study in a hundred years? Even if one didn't study anything, even if one practiced swordsmanship for a hundred years, even Su Changyu would become a Sword Dao expert.
Hence, Wang Zhuoyu felt ashamed of his thoughts.
He was like a scholar who was still preparing for the imperial examination but was thinking about what he should do when he became the emperor in the future.
However, Wang Zhuoyu soon retracted his thoughts and looked at the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect in the distance. He could not see the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect and simply looked in that direction.
"Little Junior Brother, Little Junior Brother, please don't blame your Senior Brother. Senior Brother was forced to do this. But don't worry, once Senior Brother passes the Formation Master assessment, Senior Brother will definitely teach you the Dao of Formations."
Wang Zhuoyu muttered to himself.
He didn't say anything else and simply continued to read and study the Great Dao of array formations.
Time flowed by like a white steed flitting past a crack.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
Ye Ping sat alone under the cliff.
He had already been in an epiphany for four hours.
However, he still didn't have any thoughts.
It was indeed more difficult to comprehend the array talisman than he had imagined.
However, Ye Ping remained calm and did not let his imagination run wild. Instead, he sketched the array diagram again and again.
Just like that.
After a full twenty hours.
When Ye Ping sketched the array diagram 36 times …
The array talisman did not appear.
However, his cultivation level had officially broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement.
With the support of the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures, Ye Ping could cultivate automatically without needing to meditate.
If he were to meditate, the speed would be faster.
However, just as Ye Ping broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement …
There was a breeze.
It brushed past his face.
In an instant, the array diagram in his mind shone brightly.
