Chapter 108 Taiwei Liuhe
Liuhe is a large category in the immortal system, and its derived meanings are also different in different situations.

For example, the Liuhe circle in Chu Tai's hand refers to the six directions, namely up, down, east, south, west and north.

The derived meaning of the Liuhe Circle is to cover six directions and encompass the meaning of Qiankun.

However, the Six Combinations of the Taiwei Kanli Six Combinations Demon Subduing Formation are different. Although this formation also has the meaning of blocking the Six Combinations directions, its foundation is the Six Combinations corresponding to the twelve Earthly Branches.

That is, Zi and Chou are compatible, Yin and Hai are compatible, Mao and Xu are compatible, Chen and You are compatible, Si and Shen are compatible, and Wu and Wei are compatible.

Therefore, the whole formation has twelve demon-subduing banners, among which the Lihuo demon-subduing banner is the yang branches Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu.

The Kanshui Demon-Subduing Banner in Chu Tai's hand is the six Yin-branch banners, namely Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You and Hai.

'But why can't I see these things on the Demon Subduing Banner? In terms of materials, isn't the Kanshui Demon Subduing Banner made purely of materials made of Kanshui essence and refined with the Demon Subduing Ban? I can't find any of the Chou, Mao, Si, Wei and other things at all.'

Chu Tai secretly complained in his heart, but praised: "If I am right, the Taiwei Kanli Liuhe Subduing Demon Formation is an extremely exquisite and profound superior formation."

"Zi and Chou are the beginning and rise of change, Yin and Hai are the derivative and hidden of change, Mao and Xu are the birth and death of change, Chen and You are the beginning and end of change, Si and Shen are the peak of change, and the last Wu and Wei are the complexity of change."

Chu Tai sacrificed the demon-subduing banner in his hand, and clear rays of light rose up. Madam Jinling, Yuzhao Sanren and the other five also sacrificed their own treasure banners to cooperate with him. For a moment, auspicious clouds gathered in the sky outside Liuxian Mountain, and an illusory formation diagram was derived.

Chu Tai also continued to express his thoughts.

"Zichou and Chou combine to form earth, Yinhai and Hai combine to form wood, Maoxu and Xu combine to form fire, Chenyou and You combine to form metal, Sishen and Shen combine to form water, and Wuwei and Wei combine to form earth. Therefore, this Liuhe formation seems to use Kanli as the rise and fall and Liuhe as the boundary, but secretly it also includes Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. The combination of the two can create endless changes."

"It's just that now we don't have the Yang branches, so we only use the Yin branches to change. Chou should be the beginning, Mao should be the extension, Si should be the prosperity, Wei should be the mixed, You should be the end, and Hai should be the hidden. But this idea has changed from the original Liuhe."

Chu Tai stretched out his hand and wiped out one third of the changes in the formation diagram deduced by Madam Jinling and others. Everyone frowned. Fei Fei was a little worried. Wu Chaoxi, who was sitting on his shoulder, guessed something and looked at Taoist Zhao Ning with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Taoist Zhao Ning's eyes dimmed and he wanted to sneer, but when he looked at Wu Chaoxi's eyes and thought of Chu Tai's previous abilities, he felt a little worried and afraid.

Chu Tai himself didn't care about everyone's reactions, he just continued speaking.

"We all know that Haizi, Ren and Gui are water, Yinmao, Jia and Yi are wood, Siwu, Bing and Ding are fire, Shenyou, Geng and Xin are metal, and Chenxu, Chou and Wei are four storehouses of earth."

"So the changes of our Yin branches can also be said to be Gui water rising, Yi wood growing, Bing fire flourishing, Ji earth mixed, Xin metal ending, and Ren water hiding."

"In terms of formation, we can coordinate with the six directions. Guishui is the best, as it is the fluid of heaven, that is, the rain and dew that descends everywhere. It is just right for us to break the drought disaster this time."

"Yi wood occupies the east, and Yin wood is weak, but it has hidden vitality, which can be used as a means to preserve vitality during the drought disaster."

"Bing Fire is the south, which is Yang Fire, but the Earthly Branch Si Fire contains Yin, which is Yin Fire, and can transform the outer Yin into the inner Yang. Hanba is Yin Fire with strong Yang, and if the Dao Fruit is incomplete, the transformation of Yin to Yang must be incomplete, so it is the outer Yang and the inner Yin, which is just the right response to restrain it."

"Ji earth is in the middle, it is Yin earth, it is the carrier, it is mixed..."

As Chu Tai spoke, he made some calculations and caused the Demon Subduing Banner to change its position. The others also followed suit by casting spells, causing the formation to change up and down.

It was fine when there were originally six changes. Both the five people who were cooperating in setting up the formation and Feifei, Wu Chaoxi and Taoist Zhao Ning who were watching on the side could see it clearly and knew most of the changes. They could even deduce some changes on their own.

When it became thirty-six kinds, Feifei decisively chose to give up after calculating for a while. Wu Chaoxi's eyes flashed with brilliance, and it was obvious that the calculation was a little difficult. Taoist Zhao Ning frowned slightly, and there were faint changes in the hexagrams on his fingertips, and he calculated a lot of information.

Because Yuzhao and the other four were in the formation, with no external cover and Chu Tai leading them, they did not find it difficult and could understand most of the changes.

But when the thirty-six changes evolved into two hundred and sixteen, only Yuzhao, Jinling and Qingjun could barely keep up. Taoist Yuanjian could see one or two changes with the help of his magic weapon, but before he could figure it out, the next change had already been completed, and it was too late. As for going one step further, to the one thousand two hundred and ninety-six changes, everyone could only watch Chu Tai deduce.

After these one thousand or so changes were completed, when everyone was about to ask about the subtleties of it, Chu Tai started over again with the Six Combinations Changes, changing the method. It was still the same one thousand two hundred and ninety-six changes, but the order was different, and it seemed to have changed.

This process was repeated several times. After each change was completed, Chu Tai would disrupt and reorganize it. Each change and reorganization would take about three incense sticks.

"Alas, I can only deduce this far. If someone can see through the many changes I have derived within three incense sticks, they can break the formation. Moreover, there are only 1,296 changes in this formation. If someone can see through them all, no matter how they reorganize the changes later, they will not be able to trap the opponent. After all, the process of change and reorganization is too rigid and lacks variables."

Chu Tai's words made everyone look at him strangely.

Wu Chaoxi laughed even louder and said, "They may not remember all the changes you deduced, and you still said that there are no variables and it's too rigid. It's true, hahaha..."

While saying this, Wu Chaoxi stared at Taoist Zhao Ning intentionally or unintentionally, as if asking him how much he remembered.

Zhao Ning's face turned pale, but Chu Tai's next words made him even more embarrassed.

"In fact, this variable is not difficult. The new formation I deduced is based on the Taiwei Kanli Liuhe Subduing Demon Formation. As long as I add a little Lihuo variation to the Kanshui Liuhe variation I deduced, it can be used as a variable to make its variation more flexible and more unpredictable. I can even modify the more than one thousand variations according to the situation."

Hearing this, Taoist Zhao Ning, who instinctively felt something was wrong, said coldly: "If we can find Lihuo Liuhe, why would we need your help?"

"We don't need the complete Lihuo Liuhe, we just need a little Lihuo as a variable, and I can be that Lihuo. The Jinxuan Danxia Banner in my hand can also take on the important task after some modifications."

As he spoke, golden light emanated from Chu Tai's hand, holding up the Jinxuan Danxia Banner, which fell into the formation and triggered new changes.

Compared to the Liuhe Formation, whose changes could be understood before, the formation behind the Jinxuan Danxia Banner was completely confusing to everyone.

Madam Jin Ling opened her eyes slightly, suppressed the joy in her heart, and said respectfully: "Fellow Daoist Chu, you have mastered the transformation of Lihuo, so who will control the remaining Demon Subduing Banner?"

"Of course it's Brother Wu."

Chu Tai's calm answer made everyone look at Taoist Zhao Ning, looking at his livid face and hearing Chu Tai's explanation in their ears.

"To set up the Guishui formation, one needs pure power, which can be handed over to Daoist Fellow Yuzhao, whose power is clear and profound."

"Both Yi wood's derivation and Xin metal's termination require choosing the right time, so you can leave it to Daoist Yuan Jian and Daoist Jin Ling to control."

"The Bing Fire's Prosperity and the Ren Water's Hidden Concealment can be handed over to Taoist Qingyun and Taoist Fuyou. One of them is full of vigor and vitality, and the other has strong magical power. They are perfect for each other."

"As for Ji Tu Za, we have talked about it before. The changes here are not only for carrying, but also for bringing chaos. It can be used as an auxiliary means to disrupt the opponent. In this regard, who is more suitable than Fellow Daoist Wu?"

What Chu Tai said all sounded very reasonable, but in the eyes of some people, it only meant one thing: even if a cultivator of a different kind could gain control of the Demon Subduing Banner, Taoist Zhao Ning would never be allowed to wield it again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ning's eyes widened, and a faint blood color gradually appeared on the whites of his eyes.

"Chutai!"

"I can hear you. No need to shout so loudly."

Chu Tai looked back and side-glanced at Taoist Zhao Ning, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
