"However, the formation restriction also has shortcomings. It must be set up and fixed in a specific area in advance. If the enemy does not enter the range of the formation, then the formation will not be able to function no matter how mysterious it is."
"Oh, I know this. It's like making a trap, but the trap is useless if the prey doesn't trigger the mechanism."
Xiao Hua nodded. He didn't understand the formation, but he still understood some principles.
Juaner also nodded.
"Yes, that's what it means. However, it is not absolutely necessary to set up the array restrictions in advance. There is also a type of array controlled by multiple people that does not require it."
"A magic circle controlled by multiple people?".
Xiao Hua touched his bald head and didn't understand.
"Yes, in the world of cultivation, there is also a magic circle that is controlled by multiple people. This magic circle is maintained by the operator's magic power. It is a bit similar to the sword formation in the cultivation method. It has many changes and is more flexible."
"Oh, I see".
Xiao Hua nodded, but he didn't understand at all.
"Although there are many types of formation restrictions, their functions are also different."
"But no matter which one is different, it is inseparable from its origin. The core is to gather spirits, transform and combine the virtual and the real to achieve the effect of defending and escaping or trapping and killing the enemy."
"Gathering spirits to transform virtual reality into reality? What does it mean?".
Xiao Hua didn't understand again.
"Well, how can I tell you this? Let me put it simply, no matter what type of formation restriction, it is composed of formation flags and formation disks."
"You can understand the formation flag and formation disk as magic weapons. The formation flag is mainly used to gather spiritual energy to produce illusions, and the formation disk is responsible for generating actual attacks. This is called the combination of virtual and real events through gathering spiritual energy."
"Uh, I still don't understand. Can you make it simpler?"
Xiao Hua touched his bald head again.
"Then let me put it this way, if it is just a phantom formation that traps people, the role of the formation flag is to create an illusion to trap the enemy, and the role of the formation plate is to leave the illusory formation."
"But if it is an offensive array, the non-offensive scenes such as the sky and trees inside are the illusion created by the array flag."
"Those real attack methods are generated by the formation disk. Do you understand?"
"Are you saying that the things transformed by the formation flag are all virtual, but the things transformed by the formation plate are real? Is this what you call the spirit-gathering illusion and the combination of virtuality and reality?"
Xiao Hua kind of understood.
"Yes, that's it. No matter what the magic circle is, its essence is the combination of spiritual gathering, illusion and reality."
"Brother Xiao, it seems that you are also talented in magic circles. I just said it casually and you understood."
Seeing that Xiao Hua understood, Juan'er was very happy.
"Hey, what kind of talent do I have? It's easy to understand as you said."
"Oh, by the way Juan'er, what should I do if a person like me who doesn't understand formations enters a formation set up by others?"
"It's best not to break through if you don't know the formation. If you are really trapped, there are two ways to break the formation without knowing what the formation is."
"Oh, what can I do?"
Xiao Hua is very interested. It doesn't matter if he can't set up a formation, as long as he can run.
"One is to use your own profound magic power to forcefully consume the spiritual stones that drive the array. Once the array is consumed, the array will become ineffective."
"But this method only targets those defensive restrictions that have no offensive capabilities. It also depends on the level. Some powerful magic circles cannot be used up even if they are broken for several months, or even years or decades."
"Another way is to look for the eye of the array. The array disc is usually located at the eye. As long as the array disc located at the eye is destroyed, the array will become ineffective. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to find the eye of the array."
"Ah? Then you said it in vain? I definitely can't find it."
Xiao Hua interjected.
"That's right, but I can teach you a method. This method was summed up by me after studying for a long time. There is a high chance that you can find the formation eye."
Juaner felt a little proud when she said this.
"Really? Then tell me, maybe I will really use it one day."
Silver was interested again.
"Didn't I say before that the essence of all formations is the transformation of spirit gathering and the combination of virtual and real. The formation flag is virtual and the formation plate is real."
"Since the illusions produced by the formation flag are all composed of spiritual energy, then most of the spiritual energy-filled objects seen within the formation are illusions produced by the formation flag."
"On the contrary, places or scenery within the formation where spiritual energy is relatively scarce have a high chance of being the formation eye."
"It's just that the difference between this kind of spiritual energy is very subtle. If you don't have a strong spiritual sense, it would be difficult to distinguish."
"The divine sense is extremely strong? Do you mean to use the divine sense to distinguish? But doesn't the divine sense only improve with the increase of one's own magic power?"
"Is it possible that monks of the same level still have strong and weak spiritual thoughts, and can they still practice alone?"
This was the first time Xiao Hua heard about other uses of Divine Mind, and he couldn't help but be curious.
"In principle, spiritual thoughts can only improve with the improvement of one's own cultivation level."
"But because everyone practices different techniques, some people's spiritual thoughts are stronger than those of the same level, such as sword cultivation."
"Sword cultivator?".
Xiao Hua touched his bald head again. He had a sword cultivation method, but he hadn't practiced it yet.
"Brother Xiao, let me tell you a secret."
Juan'er lowered her voice very low when she said this, a little mysterious.
"Sister Zili is only in the late stage of foundation building, but her spiritual consciousness is equivalent to the early stage of golden elixir. Because sword cultivators practice both human and sword, their skills can strengthen spiritual consciousness twice."
"Ah? The sword cultivation technique can strengthen the spiritual mind for a second time? So are there any special benefits of having a strong spiritual mind?"
Xiao Hua became excited and continued to ask.
"There must be. When we use magic weapons, we mostly use spiritual guidance and magic power to guide us."
"The stronger the spiritual mind, the more accurate the guidance of the magical weapon, the more sensitive the control of the magical weapon, and even the ability to multi-task."
"Think about it, if you encounter an enemy, his spiritual will can only control one or two magic weapons, but you can control a lot of them, and each one can be controlled absolutely without losing spirituality. How powerful is that."
"Hey, that's right. If your spiritual mind is particularly powerful, you can track and attack multiple targets at the same time."
"No wonder I felt inflexible when I used a few more magic weapons. It turns out that my spiritual mind was not strong enough."
Xiao Hua finally understood.
"That is, the more magical weapons the better, but they must be used properly. Otherwise, not only will the magical weapons not be able to exert their due power, but they will also add unnecessary unnecessary trouble to themselves."
Juan'er felt a little proud when she said this.
"Yes, yes, it seems that I am really a bumpkin. Hehe, Juan'er, after listening to what you said, it is completely better than reading my books for decades. It seems that you are still a formation wizard."
Xiao Hua praised.
"Oh, Brother Xiao is so complimentary. I just read a few more books. I want to thank you. I haven't had such a pleasant chat with someone for a long time. I hope Brother Xiao doesn't laugh."
Juan'er felt a little embarrassed when Xiao Hua praised her, and her face turned red.
After talking about the formation, Xiao Hua began to ask Juan'er for some common sense about cultivating immortals that he didn't know before.
A few hours passed while chatting.
I don’t know where the elder that Juan’er’s master mentioned was practicing, and Juan’er’s master still hadn’t returned until evening.
Fortunately, Juan'er had entered the Void Treasure Land to practice cultivation since she was a child and had few opportunities to travel. She was very interested in all the interesting things about the world that Xiao Hua talked about later.
The two of them kept chatting and laughing. Not only did they not feel bored, but they became happier as they chatted.
It was not until it was completely dark that the master and another old man arrived in a hurry.
