“In other words…You’re proficient in all nine types of formations?”
Ever since Jiang Beiran chatted with Yangyu about formations in the Shi Clan, he realized that most of the formation masters on this continent tended to be partial to one subject.
He also learned that the Xuan Yi Association divided the array into nine categories.
They were Detection, Attack, Defense, Healing, Concealment, Illusion, Amplification, Weakening, and the environment.
These nine array formations all had completely different systems. It was also very normal for there to be a bias.
It was precisely because of this complexity that array formations had always been called the most difficult mystic art to master.
After Jiang Beiran’s inquiry, he realized that Li Fucheng seemed to have learned all nine types of formations.
“I don’t dare to say that I’m proficient. I’ve only learned a little.”
“Don’t talk nonsense with me. Tell me honestly about your mastery and proficiency in these nine types of array formations.”
“Yes, sir!” Li Fucheng immediately stood up straight and answered seriously.
“Right now, I’m most skilled in defensive formations. I can use the terrain to set up formations. The other eight are still within the range of spiritual force.” ‘Yes… He can barely be considered a person.
Among array masters, the strength of array formations was divided in detail.
The three highest grades were Human Formation, Earth Formation, and Heaven Formation.
The human formation relied on spiritual power, and the spirit represented all living beings.
Formations of this level were usually activated through the use of spirit plant leaves, cloth made of spirit plant fibers, silk, spirit beast skin, spirit beast bone pieces, and other talismans. It was the most basic formation.
In addition, although the power of the human formation was not as strong as the earth and the sky, it was agile and could be used well.
Earth formations relied on the terrain, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were all earth powers.
High -grade Earth Formations could use all the power of the Earth Elephant to transform into a formation. Its characteristics were that it was stable for a long time, had a wide range, and had a great influence. If it was placed in a place like a spiritual vein, the Earth Formation would display an unimaginable power.
For example, the sect protecting grand array, city protecting grand array, and even the country protecting grand array, they all started from the terrain.
However, even though they were all earth arrays, there was a huge difference between them.
However, this depended on the specific situation and analysis.
As for the Heavenly Formation, it naturally relied on the power of the heavens. The sun, moon, stars, wind, cloud, thunder, and rain were all the power of astronomical phenomena.
The arrays that could be activated by the power of the celestial phenomena were all high-grade arrays. Not only were they extremely powerful, but they also had a wide range of influence. Those legendary mid-heaven-grade arrays could even cover the entire continent.
Moreover, the legends of array formations were different from those illusory heaven-grade cultivation techniques and heaven-grade magic treasures.
These were real formations that existed on this continent, but they weren’t man-made. They were natural formations that formed in the world.”
The primitive array that Li Fucheng had unintentionally activated with the help of the Four Symbols Physique was one of them.
Most of them were in a ‘closed’ state, waiting for the fated person to arrive.
On the other hand, a Thought Body like Li Fucheng was completely cheating. Even if he was not the fated person for this primordial array, he could still think of a way to activate it after sensing it.
However, each of the primeval formations was as gentle as the one Li Fucheng entered. It not only gave him adventures, but also gave him time to cultivate.
Some primordial formations were extremely dangerous, and even Profound Sages couldn’t guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed.
However, cultivation was a matter of both danger and opportunity. Therefore, Li Fucheng’s Four Symbols limbs were like a master key that could open all kinds of treasures.
That was why Sect Master Yan, who was in the Mystique Venerable Realm, had decided to take him as his disciple.
Although Li Fucheng could only set up Human Level arrays, he was already very “main character” to learn all nine types of arrays at such a young age. One had to know that Lu Yangyu, a dignified Level Seven array, was still “partial”.
Li Fucheng’s nine types of array formations could probably directly advance to an eighth-grade array master.
And he was only in his early twenties, an eighth-grade array master in his early twenties. If this wasn’t called a “protagonist”, what was a protagonist!?
Seeing that Big Brother Wang had fallen silent, Li Fucheng thought that his performance was not good enough, so he quickly promised, “I know that my array formation level is still very far away, but please rest assured, Brother Wang. I will definitely work harder to improve my array formation level and strive to help you as soon as possible.”
‘Tsk…These words were a little like Versailles.’
Jiang Beiran might not know about other people, but Lu Yangyu would be surprised if he heard an Array Master who was proficient in nine types of arrays at the age of twenty say something like,” I know my array skills are still far from perfect “.
At the very least, he would spit out two taels of blood.
Jiang Beiran was able to face it so calmly because he had long known that Li Fucheng had the Life Providence of the main character and possessed the Body of Four Symbols, a top-notch Array Master’s physique.
Therefore, no matter how fast Li Fucheng’s improvement in array formations was, it would not be strange to him.
After some thought, Jiang Beiran stood up and picked up a tree branch, drew a circle on the ground, and said to Li Fucheng,'”You already have a master who has taught you about formations. As an outsider, I can’t teach you anything, but I can teach you some of my own experiences.”
Li Fucheng immediately bowed to Jiang Beiran and said,””Fu Cheng is willing to listen to Big Brother Wang’s teachings.”
“Tell me first, what do you think of the use of array artifacts in array formations?”
Li Fucheng thought for a moment and replied, “Array tools are the basic items used to construct an array. Only the array core reinforced by the array tool can be used to set up an array. The quality of the array tool also directly determines the strength of the array..”
