"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yang would actually take the retro path of Universal Array Chess!" Immortal Master Fu Zhen sighed slightly.
Yang Junshan asked in surprise with a hint of uneasiness: "Retro? Is there a new method of formation deduction in formation cultivation? So which of the two methods is better?"
In Yang Junshan's view, everything is moving forward, even spiritual practice. Regardless of methods or methods, they are always innovating. Old things may not be good, but new methods are often more suitable for monks themselves. .
Immortal Fu Zhen seemed to understand Yang Junshan's worries, and smiled and said: "The method of formation deduction may have changed, but the way of formation remains unchanged, whether it is the retro formation practice method, or Today’s methods cannot be said to be better or worse. The quality only depends on whether they are suitable for the formation cultivators themselves. Even now in Heluo Star Palace, there are still many retro-style formation cultivators. Of course, compared to In terms of today's formation practice, their number has become extremely small."
Hearing this, Yang Junshan quickly asked: "Then what kind of practice methods do the formation cultivators in Heluo Star Palace usually use now?"
As he said that, Yang Junshan glanced at Fu Zhenxian Master's Bagua Mirror again and said, "Isn't it that the formation deduction technique used by fellow Taoist Fu Zhen is not a retro approach?"
Fu Zhenxianzun smiled and said: "It is true, Fu's formation practice is not a retro style."
Having said that, Fu Zhenxianzun did not explain in further detail, but asked Yang Junshan: "Dare to ask fellow Taoist Yang, which lineage of formation path are you most good at?"
The Tao of Formation can be said to be all-encompassing and profound. However, if we really want to look at it from an overall perspective, or trace back to its origins, it can be roughly divided into nine major veins, also called nine major sources of formation, and they are as follows One Yuan, Two Instruments, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Five Elements, **, Seven Stars, Bagua, and Nine Palaces.
The formation has evolved in countless ways, but it always remains unchanged, and it cannot escape these nine threads.
Among formation mages, this is almost common knowledge, whether inside or outside the territory. Immortal Fu Zhen asked, and Yang Junshan naturally understood.
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said: "I am the best at the Five Elements. Well, I also know a little about the Sancai Formation. In order to practice magical powers, I rarely dabbled in the Liangyi. Well, in recent years, in order to He is able to deduce fairyland formations, but he is quite knowledgeable about the Seven Stars—"
After talking about it, even Yang Junshan himself laughed. He probably understood the purpose of Fu Zhenxian Lord's inquiry, so he smiled and said: "It seems that my research on the formation is too messy."
After saying that, Yang Junshan pondered slightly and said: "It is complex but not refined. The key to formation lies in a perfect system. Specialization means that the formation system built must be rigorous. It is rigorous but has few loopholes. It has few loopholes and is difficult to crack."
Fu Zhenxian Zun had an expression that was taken for granted and said: "The formation masters of the retro school follow this path. Although their formation practice seems to be complicated, they are actually able to accumulate a lot of experience."
Yang Junshan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy to accumulate so much knowledge, right?"
Immortal Master Fu Zhen smiled and said: "That's true. Even if a monk can enjoy the fruit of immortality, he may not have the energy to exhaust the nine sources of the Formation Dao. What's more, the beginning of Formation Dao practice is mostly when the monks are young. , At that time, immortality was not achieved, and only a few hundred years of life and death were passed by. How could we get a glimpse of the formation path? How about focusing on one of the nine sources of the formation path, reaching the very high bottleneck, and then returning to repair the foundation? , although it will be more difficult to achieve a breakthrough, but in the end
If you can save a lot of time on your own cultivation, if you can take advantage of this to achieve immortality, so what if you spend several times or ten times the time and energy to break this bottleneck? "
Yang Junshan nodded unconsciously when he heard the words. The path of formations has no boundaries, but before a person achieves immortality, his life has limits. It is difficult to pursue the endless ways of formations in his lifetime.
However, Immortal Fu Zhen's way of cultivating the Formation Dao is based on specializing in one lineage of the Formation Dao, pursuing the Immortal Dao of Immortality as much as possible, and then turning around to make up for the foundation, and finally mastering and mastering the Formation Dao. territory.
To put it more simply, it is nothing more than a question of difficult first and then easy and first easy and then difficult. Yang Junshan, a retro sect of the Formation Dao lineage, takes the path of first difficult and then easy, and Fu Zhenxianzun represents The formation cultivator took the easy path first and then the difficult path.
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said: "So according to what Fellow Taoist Fu said, where is the bottleneck for the final integration? Is it the Immortal Formation?"
Immortal Lord Fu Zhen nodded first, then sighed slightly and said: "The Immortal Formation is just the beginning of integration!"
Seeing Yang Junshan's look of astonishment, Fu Zhenxian Zun asked again: "Does Fellow Daoist Yang know the way to practice Fu's Formation Tao?"
Without waiting for Yang Junshan to respond, Fu Zhenxianzun continued: "Fu was quite talented in the art of formations at the beginning. He had already set up the Bagua Tao Formation not long after he first entered the Taoist realm. However, he was finally able to set up the Immortal Formation when he ascended to the Immortal Realm. Eight hundred years later, when Fu Mou was reshaping his immortal body and setting foot on the Golden Immortal, he suddenly realized something in his heart. He finally understood what he had learned during his more than a thousand years of formation cultivation, and finally set up the Bagua Immortal Formation."
Yang Junshan felt strange when he heard this. The progress of Fu Zhenxian Zun and the formation method was quite consistent with Yang Junshan's. When the Five Elements Thunder Light Tao Formation was first formed, it was when he condensed the soul to advance. At the time of the situation.
Now, although Yang Junshan has not laid out the Immortal Formation, in fact, the Immortal Formation has already been deduced and formed in his formation chess, and the layout of the Zhoutian World is nearing completion. All that is left is the last opportunity.
Although it seems to be a little later than Fu Zhenxianzun, don't forget that Yang Junshan is now outside the territory and cannot personally participate in the improvement of the Yang family's formation. More importantly, Yang Junshan's departure is The path to physical sanctification directly crosses the Yuanshen Immortal Realm. If calculated carefully, it actually takes shape eight hundred years earlier than Immortal Fu Zhen’s Immortal Formation!
That's not all. Don't forget that the time it took for Yang Junshan to go from his place of cultivation to the time he finally ascended to immortality was only more than three hundred years. How many years did Immortal Fu Zhen waste before he ascended to immortality
Naturally, Yang Junshan would not compare these things with others, but he praised him: "Yang was trapped in Zhoutian world, but he sat in a well and looked at the sky, and his achievements in the formation method were achieved in Heluo. Real cultivation holy places like Xing Palace are also extremely clever!”
Fu Zhenxian Zun smiled quite reservedly and said: "It's not bad at all. I'm not too far behind others."
After that, he said half-promptly and half-enviously: "However, Fellow Daoist Yang's attainments in formations are also extremely profound. Although he is only at the level of a grand master now, he has already dabbled in the immortal formations quite deeply, and he has accumulated a lot of knowledge in the deduction techniques of the ancient school. , I think it won’t be too far to break the bottleneck and get my own Immortal Formation.”
