While they were talking, the young man in white suddenly lowered his head to check his battlefield imprint and received a message. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Gu Canyang with a strange expression. "Senior Brother, is Fellow Cultivator Lu proficient in formations?"
Gu Canyang thought for a moment and said, "Rumor has it that he obtained the inheritance of a spirit tattooist and can activate some spirit tattoos. Formations are closely related to spirit tattoos … Why?"
The young man in white did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Fellow Cultivator Lu is at the edge of the sect-protecting formation. He seems to be studying how to break the formation."
"Break the formation?" Gu Canyang and Ji Yan were stunned.
Of course, spell formations could be broken, but the cultivation base of the Spirit Stream Realm was still too low. Even if he could break spell formations, he would only be able to break some simple ones. For large-scale spell formations like the Sect Protecting Grand Spell Formation, there was no way he could break through them on his own.
This was also the reason why the encampments of the various sects were difficult to break. Every sect's encampment had its own protective formation.
"Maybe he's cultivating the formation. Send the message, don't worry about it." Gu Canyang did not think too much. Since Lu Ye wanted to study how to break the formation, he would let him. After all, he would not lose anything.
On the other side, at the edge of the Divine Hidden Palace's protective formation, Lu Ye was observing the operation of the formation.
If one wanted to break the formation, they had to first find the formation's flaw and then use some targeted methods to target this flaw. No matter what kind of formation it was, it could not be perfect.
However, the more advanced the formation, the fewer flaws it had. For example, the sect-protecting formation of the Spirit Stream Battlefield was basically set up with the formation foundation bought from the Tianji Treasure Vault. The person who set up and maintained the formation might not even be proficient in this Dao.
Take the Jade Blood Sect's side as an example. The person controlling the protective formation was now Hua Ci. She knew nothing about formations, but with the corresponding jade tablet, she could easily control the formation.
The situation at the Divine Hidden Palace was the same.
The person controlling the formation was not proficient in formations, so how perfect could the formation be? However, it was enough to block the attack of a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator.
When Lu Ye was at the Jade Blood Sect, he learned the Dao of Spirit Tattoos from Madam Yun. He would first break and then build. Madam Yun constructed the spirit tattoos, and he would break them. If spirit tattoos were considered formations, then Lu Ye's action of breaking the spirit tattoos was breaking the formation.
Of course, a real formation was much more complicated than a simple one or two spiritual inscriptions, especially a defensive formation that could cover an encampment. There were probably dozens of spiritual inscriptions involved.
In the past, he didn't know much about Spirit Arrays, so even after Blue Blood Sect had its own protective Spirit Array, Lu Ye hadn't studied it.
It wasn't until he left the Jade Blood Sect that Lu Ye began to learn some things about Array Formations through the book system. His attainments in the Array Dao gradually improved. When he was in the Immortal Essence City, he could already arrange some simple Array Formations by himself.
Now that he had accumulated enough theoretical knowledge, Lu Ye wanted to give it a try.
However, when he really got started, he realized that things were more complicated than he had imagined. The entire Sect Protection Formation was integrated into one. With his current eyesight and experience, he could not see any flaws at all.
If he couldn't even find a flaw in the formation, how could he break it?
Therefore, after a moment, Lu Ye slowly closed his eyes. Spiritual energy began to gather in his eyes, forming an extremely complicated pattern.
Insight!
This was the eleventh spiritual inscription he had obtained from the Talent Tree. When he raided the Sky Bearing Sect's mineral vein, Lu Ye had used this spiritual inscription to find the whereabouts of a ghost cultivator.
When he opened his eyes again, the whole world seemed to have changed. Everything seemed unreal. Colorful lights flowed in his field of vision. Fluorescent lights fluttered and ribbons flew, constantly twisting and changing. This was the flow of Heaven and Earth spirit energy.
The greatest function of the Insight Spirit Inscription was to clearly see the flow of spirit energy and the changes in spiritual energy.
Long ago, Lu Ye had vaguely sensed that the use of this spiritual inscription was not only to find the whereabouts of hidden enemies, but it might also have a miraculous effect in breaking Spirit Arrays.
When he looked at the Sect Protection Formation with the Insight Spirit Inscription, he immediately saw some differences. The spiritual energy on the light curtain flowed like water from one direction. Because the light curtain of the Sect Protection Formation was circular, with half of it above ground and the other half underground, this process could be repeated. As long as the Sect Protection Formation had enough spiritual energy, it could be maintained.
The Spirit Stream Battlefield was rich in Heaven and Earth spirit energy. Every Sect's encampment had the support of the Divine Pillar, so the Sect Protection Formation could store a huge amount of spiritual energy on normal days. When attacked, it could increase the power of the Sect Protection Formation.
However, on normal days, the Sect Protection Formation would only maintain a minimum level of operation.
From a normal view, the entire Sect Protection Formation's light curtain was like a transparent water curtain. However, to Lu Ye, who had the Insight Spirit Inscription, the Sect Protection Formation's light curtain was formed by Yin and Yang elements. There were also spiritual inscriptions mixed in. Each of these spiritual inscriptions could play its own role, such as increasing the defensive strength of the Sect Protection Formation, increasing the speed of the Sect Protection Formation's spiritual energy flow, and so on.
The entire Sect Protection Formation was like an extremely huge, complex, and dense restriction!
However, it was different from the restrictions that were usually refined in Spirit Weapons. After the circulation of spiritual energy, this restriction formed a complete Sect Protection Formation.
Lu Ye understood. No wonder Madam Yun said that Formation Cultivators could be regarded as a branch of Spirit Tattooists. It was because the Sect Protection Formation itself was a restriction formed by spiritual inscriptions.
Looking at the embedding technique of those spiritual inscriptions, Lu Ye even saw some familiar traces in them.
The leaves on his Talent Tree not only contained spiritual inscriptions, but also a large number of special embedding techniques and skills. These things could barely be regarded as spiritual inscriptions, because if they were constructed, they could exist stably. However, they were different from normal spiritual inscriptions and couldn't play a role on their own.
They were just bridges used for embedding different spiritual inscriptions.
Lu Ye continued to observe, but he couldn't find any obvious flaws in the light curtain in front of him. He pondered for a moment, then stepped forward. As he walked, he carefully examined the Sect Protection Formation.
After walking for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he suddenly stopped and raised his eyes to look ahead.
This position was slightly different from other places. If the other positions of the Sect Protection Formation were integrated, then there were some traces of embedding here.
These traces of embedding were the flaws and also the nodes of the Sect Protection Formation.
If he wasn't mistaken, the position under his feet should be the center of the two Sect Protection Formations.
The Sect Protection Formation was built by sixteen Sect Protection Formations. The distance between the Sect Protection Formations was very far. Even if they could resonate to form the Sect Protection Formation, after the formation was formed, the connection would be weaker than the other positions.
If the Blue Blood Sect's Spirit Array was compared to a jigsaw puzzle, then it was composed of sixteen pieces. Each piece represented an area covered by the Spirit Array's foundation after it was activated. No matter how perfect the integration between the pieces was, there would always be gaps, and these gaps were the nodes.
Ordinary people couldn't see them, and Lu Ye couldn't see them either. However, with the blessing of the Insight Spirit Tattoos, it was different.
After discovering the location of the nodes, Lu Ye was relieved. He knew that his previous guess was right. The Insight Spirit Tattoos really had a miraculous effect in breaking the Sect Protection Formation.
Looking at the nodes in front of him, Lu Ye slowly pulled out his Pan Shan Saber. He activated his spiritual power, and the saber flashed with brilliance. With the blessing of Double Sharpness, he used all his strength to stab forward.
The tip of the saber accurately pierced the nodes. The Pan Shan Saber buzzed, and his spiritual power surged. In the next moment, the Protection Formation shook, and the light curtain that was flowing smoothly distorted.
Lu Ye put away his saber and continued to attack. The long saber in his hand turned into afterimages, constantly attacking the nodes of the Sect Protection Formation.
Boom, boom, boom …
The Sect Protection Formation kept twisting.
The entire encampment of the Shenyin Palace was alarmed. All the cultivators who noticed this scene looked around in shock. Someone even shouted, "Enemy attack!"
Although they didn't see where the enemy was, this was clearly a sign that the Sect Protection Formation was being attacked.
Gu Canyang, the young man in white, and Ji Yan were all startled and appeared one after another. The young man in white directly took out the jade pendant that controlled the Sect Protection Formation and activated the power of the Sect Protection Formation to the maximum.
After a moment of chaos, the news came. It wasn't an enemy attack, but Lu Yiye, who had come as a guest, was attacking their Sect Protection Formation.
Looking at the Junior Brother who came to report the situation, the corner of Gu Canyang's eyes twitched, "He caused this by himself?"
"Yes, I just saw him attack the Sect Protection Formation with his own eyes." The cultivator who reported the situation wasn't far from Lu Ye, so he saw it clearly. To be honest, he was also shocked. He never thought that there would be someone in this world who could cause such a big reaction to the Protection Formation by himself.
After all, Lu Yiye was only at the Eighth Order Spirit Stream Realm. If he cultivated to the Ninth Order Heaven Grade, wouldn't he be able to break their Sect Protection Formation with a single slash?
"Let's go and take a look." Gu Canyang was clearly aware of this as well. He led the white-clothed youth and Ji Yan towards Lu Ye's location. A large group of cultivators followed behind them in a grandiose manner.
When they arrived, they saw Lu Ye sitting cross-legged there, seemingly recovering his Spirit Qi.
After the young man in white controlled the Sect Protection Formation and strengthened its power, Lu Ye stopped. He knew that his actions just now would definitely attract the attention of the Divine Hidden Palace, so he simply came here to wait for them.
However, he didn't expect so many people to come.
"Brother Yiye, were you the one attacking the Sect Protection Formation just now?" Gu Canyang stepped forward and asked.
"I have some ideas that I want to test."
"Did you gain anything?" Gu Canyang raised his eyebrows.
"I have more ideas. I'm sorry for disturbing everyone."
"It's fine, it's fine." Gu Canyang kept waving his hand, "Brother Yiye, if you have anything you want to try, feel free to try it. The Divine Hidden Palace will fully cooperate with you!"
It was no wonder he was so enthusiastic. Lu Ye had saved the lives of many cultivators from the Divine Hidden Palace before. If Lu Ye really broke the Sect Protection Formation with his own strength, it would be a big deal!
Everyone knew the benefits of attacking and occupying someone else's base, but how could it be so easy? The Protection Formation was there.
