On the fourth floor of Listen To Rain Pavilion, Qin Feng continuously flipped through memorized books. During his leisure moments, he couldn’t help but contemplate the matter of gravity.
However, after much thought, he couldn’t find a good solution. He furrowed his brow in frustration.
As time passed quickly, Qin Feng finally settled down and focused on studying, putting aside other thoughts. In the midst of his immersion, several books on the shelf emitted a white light, automatically rearranging themselves and landing near him, within easy reach.
After finishing one book, Qin Feng returned it to the shelf and randomly picked up another. To his surprise, the cover prominently displayed the words “Formation Explanation.”
“The title is quite interesting,” Qin Feng remarked as he opened the pages.
The opening words on the first page read: “All things in the world can be transformed into formations.”
This sentence had a certain level of grandeur.
Continuing to read, he delved into the splendid and varied world of formation arts. From the beginning of the universe to the creation of Yin and Yang, the development of the Four Symbols led to the birth of the Eight Trigrams.
The book suggested that by following the principles of Yin and Yang, adhering to the Eight Trigrams, understanding the generation and restraint of the Five Elements, everything in the world, from a blade of grass to a tree, could be connected and transformed into a formation with boundless and unpredictable power.
Qin Feng rubbed his chin, fascinated by the depth and breadth of formation arts.However, after reading the entire book, “Formation Explanation,” although he gained a lot of understanding about formations, it did not explain any specific formation techniques.
Flipping to the last page, Qin Feng widened his eyes.
He had expected this book to be like “Tradition of Literature Saint Dao Lineage” or “Celestial Inner Canon,” guiding him into a profound realm and imparting formation techniques. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response, which was somewhat embarrassing.
Understanding without practical application teaching—what’s the use?
In the words of his past life, “I’ve taken off my pants, and you’re just showing me this?”
Disappointed, Qin Feng returned “Formation Explanation” to the shelf, then glanced at several other books nearby, emitting a light exclamation.
“The titles of these books seem to be related to formations. Is it just a coincidence?”
Qin Feng picked up the books one by one, flipping through the pages. His eyes lit up.
Soul Sealing Formation, Dragon Awakening Formation, Sun Protection Formation, Wrathful Sun Formation, Ghost Gate Formation—various formation techniques with detailed annotations on layout points and required materials.
As long as he followed the instructions in the books, even he could set up unpredictable formations!
What excited him the most was a formation called “Heavy Abyss.” Once living beings entered this formation, they would experience unparalleled gravity, making every step difficult.
It was a sealing formation.
Wasn’t this exactly the gravity space he wanted to create?!
Qin Feng checked the formation requirements. Besides the formation diagram, he also needed some materials, most of which he knew where to find, except for a rare ore called “Black Zhoa,” which required some effort to obtain.
“After going back, I can ask Ya’an if they have any leads.”
Many formations emerged in Qin Feng’s mind, making him naturally excited. However, amidst the excitement, he also furrowed his brows.
The greater the power of the formation, the higher the difficulty in setting it up. For example, the Qilong Formation, belonging to a kind of killing formation, required the assistance of the spirits of mountains and rivers, being situated near mountains and rivers, with the formation diagram covering an area of at least ten miles.
How could one person accomplish this?
Not only that, but the more challenging the formation to deploy, the rarer the materials required.
From what Qin Feng had just browsed, even with his extensive reading, there were still many materials he had never heard of.
Of course, there were some formations that did not require materials, but in return, these formations had high requirements for the cultivator’s own cultivation.
For example, a Formation Seven-Star Big Dipper Tiangang requires the caster to enter the realm of Literature Saint Grade 6 Fate Diagram, rely on stargazing, and activate the power of the stars before it can be performed.
In his mind, Qin Feng went over the formations he had memorized. Currently, the only one he might be able to try was a formation called “White Thunder.”
“Infuse Literature Qi into the formation, unleash an attack resembling white thunder, and the more Literature Qi you inject, the stronger the power of the White Thunder.”
This formation seemed good, as it could compensate for the insufficient attack power of a Literature Saint. However, there was a very obvious drawback: the pre-casting delay was too long!
Ask yourself, in a battle, which enemy would give you that kind of time?
Qin Feng roughly imagined the scene:
Self: “Wait a moment, let me draw a formation first.”
Enemy: *stab* A sharp knife pierced the heart.
Self: “You, no martial ethics.”
Deceased, at the age of XX.
Qin Feng’s face twitched. If he really died like this, it would be too embarrassing.
“The key to casting White Thunder is to quietly draw the formation without attracting the enemy’s attention.
However, in a battle, both sides are inevitably tense, how can such actions go unnoticed by the opponent?”
“Perhaps I can use ‘Mouth Concealment’ to divert the enemy’s attention,” Qin Feng scratched his head, pondering.
In the evening, Qin Feng walked out of the Listen To Rain Pavilion and returned to the Qin residence with Lan Ningshuang.
In the hall, having dinner with his family and chatting, Qin Feng inquired about his second brother’s cultivation.
“Second brother, how is the practice of the second move of Heavenly Astral Essence Slash?”
Swallowing the food in his mouth, the second brother excitedly said, “Some time ago, I could already cut down leaves from ten yards away without harming their veins. Moreover, my sword intent has successfully entered the second level of the Heavy As Mountain!”
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised. He had initially asked his second brother to switch from the Leaf-Cutting Sword to Heavenly Astral Essence Slash to help him enter the second level of the Heavy Mountain and explore the realm of the sixth rank of the Divine Martial. However, he didn’t expect that the other party would succeed in such a short time.
In that case, couldn’t his second brother directly comprehend Dao through the weapon?
This damn enviable talent. But if it weren’t for me, this master guiding him, he wouldn’t have been able to take this step.
Upon giving it some thought, I realize that I’m quite awesome.
“Not bad, but don’t be too arrogant. Remember, pride comes before a fall, and humility brings benefits,” Qin Feng reminded.
“I understand. By the way, big brother, when will your Literature Saint Dao enter the eighth realm?” Qin An asked out of concern.
Qin Feng’s expression stiffened, pretending not to have heard. “The braised pork today is quite good.”
He was about to use chopsticks to pick up a piece, but midway, another pair of chopsticks intercepted him. Looking up, it turned out to be his father, who also glanced over with a cold look.
So many pieces of braised pork, and he had to pick mine. What’s the meaning of your expression? Qin Feng felt inexplicable.
Qin An took a bite of rice and continued, “Now I am honing myself daily with Brother Sheng. Speaking of which, I also want to ask my big brother how to cultivate the Dao of Sword in the future.”
Qin Feng no longer paid attention to his father and put down his bowl and chopsticks. “The third layer of Heavenly Astral Essence Slash is named Qianjun, which coincides with the second layer of Knife Intent, Heavy Peak, in a similar vein.
But its power surpasses the latter; within twenty feet, a thousand-kilogram heavy stone can be cut with a single slash!
Although I really want to teach you the cultivation method of Qianjun now, but seriously consider it. It would be better for you to learn the third layer of Qianjun after you step into the sixth realm of gathering energy.”
“I’ll follow my big brother’s advice.”
“Good.” Qin Feng glanced at the dining table and reached for a chicken leg with his chopsticks.
Just at this moment, his father’s chopsticks swiftly reached out and took the chicken leg before him.
Seeing the situation, Qin Feng also realized that this tricky fellow was intentionally targeting him tonight!
