Before Ningxia could distinguish further, everyone in the formation was pushed away. They took their respective positions, and a total of thirty-six people formed a circle around the perimeter of the formation.
No, by the way, do you all know what this is going to do? Or are they just following the crowd like her? ! Ningxia was a little embarrassed, but she still followed the crowd and took her place, imitating everyone else's gestures and raising her hands to contribute her own spiritual power.
Of course, she was very careful to separate her spiritual energy flow at this time, lest the little ancestor inside her take the opportunity to jump out. She subconsciously felt that she could not allow the true spirit fire to settle in this inexplicable formation, otherwise it might not be the desired result for both parties.
Everything is ready, all that's left is the last step.
Perhaps the attendees here didn't notice that the entire venue was eerily quiet at this moment, with not even the sound of wind. The entire air seemed to be stagnant, without any fluidity.
At the top, on the highest level invisible to all the participants, a dozen or so decorated people sat on a hollow stone platform. This place was more exquisite than other stone platforms. Apart from the hollows, no material could be seen. They are all carved with extremely exquisite reliefs, and it can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the structure here.
These people's cultivation level is at least above the Golden Core level, and there is even a newly promoted venerable. Each of them is wearing a purple belt. These people are all special participants invited by the Origin Tracing Conference. If the disciples of the Middle-earth Formation World are at this moment, they will be surprised to find that everyone above them is a heavyweight. Even the one with the lowest cultivation level in the early stage of Nascent Soul is the youngest series of Formation Masters in the Middle-earth Continent.
So those who can come here are not unknown people.
But now, these specially invited formation masters are not dressed grandly and leisurely in high seats watching their performance as everyone imagined. They input this unknown formation almost at the same time as them.
Of course, Ningxia didn't know what was going on above her. She was going through another strange experience that she had never experienced before.
Question - What is the formation? Ningxia can be interpreted in many ways, and can even be demonstrated using different formations.
But these are not the answers closest to her heart.
Ningxia received the formation inheritance at the age of nine, and it has only been a few decades so far. For a mortal, it is a long time, but for a monk, it is only a blink of an eye. The time she entered the field of formations can be said to be short, not even a fraction of the time it takes for many people.
But what she has experienced and her understanding of formations are no worse than those of formation masters of the same age, or even higher.
For the past many years, she had been studying formations as a science, similar to mathematics mixed with engineering structures.
Although her scientific thinking is very poor, she still learned it bit by bit with modern thinking and practice makes perfect. Under the guidance of Yuanheng Daojun, she became more and more proficient and learned some tricks.
Perhaps Ningxia progressed too quickly and gradually encountered a bottleneck period.
The bottleneck period for others may be a certain formation or a certain art skill, or they may be stuck on it for a long time. After passing this level, they may make rapid progress. Ningxia has also encountered this kind of situation, but she doesn't think it is called a bottleneck period.
Because the formations she learned were different from others, resources were difficult to find and there were no teachers. She had to control everything she learned by herself, and she had no reference for how well she learned. She often didn’t know what she was doing, which was a big obstacle. stagnation.
In the early ten years of learning formations, except for the knowledge of systematic formations taught to her by Daojun Yuanheng, she had learned less than two digits of formations inherited from ancient formations.
Later, when she traveled outside, she learned more and more. She gradually understood and mastered it, and then she learned more and more smoothly. Now, the progress of inheriting ancient formations has increased by one-tenth, and she can still say that she has a shy face. He is an array mage.
But after stabilizing his Golden Core cultivation, Ning Xia not only had a new understanding of the spiritual power system, but also had new thoughts on the formations he had been learning.
She found that she was actually a bit wrong in thinking that the idea of mixing mathematics with science and engineering in the past was actually a bit wrong, and it could even be said that it was a bit skewed, because strictly speaking, formations were something on the metaphysical side.
Perhaps ancient magic and mathematics will be used, but rigid formulas or rules cannot be used to summarize it at all.
In fact, this can be seen from her customary change method of forming formations. It is not about the formation adapting to the environment at all, but the formation should be based on the environmental terrain and conditions. The formation base should also change as the environment changes.
And even if it is the same formation, the internal links and sequences are different, and the formation effects are also different. Therefore, the formation is actually changing at any time, and there is no fixed pattern.
How can I learn something like this with a formula? She shouldn't treat it as a regular subject. It's okay to start learning it this way, but if it becomes fixed later, it will become narrower and narrower and eventually lead to a dead end.
The bottleneck of Ningxia is that it has begun to realize this dead end. She felt that the layout and patterns of the formations she was learning were becoming more and more narrow. In the past, it was easy to change or create some flexible small formations, but in recent years it has become increasingly difficult to make such changes, and learning has become more and more tedious.
She realized that she couldn't continue like this, and she had to change her thinking and get rid of the imprisonment and restrictions.
In the two years since she came to Middle-earth, she no longer reviewed the fixed formations she had learned in the past, or focused on the core parts, or learned them in parts, in short, she reduced the amount of systematic learning. She wants to find her own style - like Daojun Yuanheng.
The elder was very happy and excited when he learned about her reflection. He thought that it would take more than ten years for Ningxia to be promoted to Nascent Soul before she could completely figure this out, or that once she figured it out, she might not necessarily start to change it, because it required great determination, and not everyone could easily let go of what they had already done. Take a familiar path and explore another unknown path.
He also gave the greatest support to this, removing the usual formation assignments that stabilized and expanded the use, and replaced them with local formation maps with guidance and divergent thinking. Each one was carefully organized and intercepted by Daojun Yuanheng. , the most suitable local formation rules for divergent thinking about formations.
This kind of thing basically needs to be figured out by individuals. Even masters and disciples will not teach this easily. The other party can give this to Ning Xia because he is very considerate of her.
So with the support of the other party, she has been learning formations for the past two years, but it is not the kind of formations that everyone thinks. She has not actually set up a formal formation for two years.
Today is her first time in two years.
