Destiny is ashes

Chapter 226 Taiming Soul Nurturing Formation (33)

"But we have to be careful... Oh my God, are you asleep? Can the demon take advantage of this?"

Compared to An Jing's joy, this was what Fu Xie often muttered when he read the Taiming Juyou Sutra, but An Jing didn't care: "Even fate can be used, it would be strange if a mere netherworld method can't be used, right?"

"But in other words, perhaps the current demons are also vulnerable to special attacks against the Netherworld. I remember that the extreme yang power of the Six Yang Mysterious Mirror was a great threat to the demons, and ordinary demons should not care about this, right?"

"Ah."

After thinking about it, Fu Xie seemed to understand something: "Indeed. In our time, apart from the specially developed methods to slay demons, the only way to target the demons was to use pure violence or the demons' own power."

"That is to say, only the magic weapons forged with the materials of the Heavenly Demons can absorb the essence of the Heavenly Demons and completely destroy them."

"But now it seems that although the demon has many abilities that I don't know about, it is also restrained by many abilities that I am familiar with."

[Calling the Ghost to Descend] is the highest method of the Taiming Juyou Sutra and it is extremely difficult. It is difficult for both Huo Qing and You Ruhui to even get started in a short period of time.

But one of its components, the Taiming Soul-Nourishing Array, is a formation used to nourish the bodies of the gods. It can both refine the souls of the dead and nourish the living, and its efficiency in gathering souls is not low.

It is really perfect to use it as the spiritual gathering foundation for the 'retreat room' that An Jing will need in the future.

"Ah? Me? This formation?"

When Huo Qing got the jade slip with An Jing's copy of the formation, the first thing that came to his mind was incredible. How powerful is An Jing's underground sect? How could they even get such a secret formation?
Could it be that he had taken out the true teachings of the sect? But why... Could it be that he wanted to recruit me into the sect?

The second thing I thought about was, "Can I learn it?"

——I learn the secret formation? Is it too fast? Should I start with the small water spirit formation first?

“You can learn it!”

An Jing was very optimistic about Huo Qing: "And I don't ask you to set it up now. There are still many basic formation concepts and details in it. There are also three basic formations: 'Small Gathering Spirit Formation', 'Small Gathering Yin Formation' and 'Small Yunling Formation'. The difficulty is only slightly greater than the Small Five Elements Formation. You can definitely learn it."

"Moreover, the design ideas of these formations should be different from what is taught in your textbooks. It can expand your thinking and will definitely be helpful for your future!"

Fearing that Huo Qing would bite off more than he could chew, and also worried that there might be some hidden tricks of the devil in the Tai Ming Ju You Sutra, An Jing only taught Huo Qing the inheritance related to the Soul Nourishing Array.

But in addition to this, the sword spirit Fu Xie also thoughtfully gave him a lot of common sense about formations that he still remembered in the jade slip - according to Fu Xie, the sword formation is also a sword - as well as detailed explanations of some basic formation structure in the Taiming Juyou Sutra.

An Jing had also seen the diagrams of the formations that Huo Qing studied daily. To put it bluntly, they were all the variations and depths of the simplest small five-element formations. Apart from that, there were no Yin-Yang formations, thunder formations, soul-nourishing formations, or anything like that.

The more complex and unique knowledge cannot be obtained or learned for free in school, but is a unique inheritance of every great family and power.

Even Iron Hand's formation is essentially just a variation of the wood formation. Although it is exquisite, it is far from being unique. This is already the limit for many folk formation masters. They can not only make a living, but also make a lot of money.

Huo Qing's goal was naturally to reach this level, but An Jing had higher expectations for him. The basic array patterns in the jade slips, the essential ideas of some array formations, were either the basis remembered by the Fuxie Sword Spirit, a suspected immortal-level existence, or the insights of the 'Emperor You Taiming God', which could make up for Huo Qing's deficiencies in the basics and make his future array cultivation path smoother, so that he would not go astray.

"You have good talent and study hard, Huo Qing. I will teach you this formation not only because you have helped me these days, but also because I am very optimistic about your future."

In private, An Jing did not beat around the bush. He said directly: "You are a body cultivator, and a body cultivator without attributes. If you practice the five elements formation at the same time, it will be difficult to fit in. In this case, it is better to learn the formation related to the soul, practice both the body and life, and make your life pure and powerful."

"By then, whether you want to continue on the path of pure martial arts cultivation, or want to learn magic, or delve into various other types of formations, you will have a perfect foundation!"

"And I can also use your formation. I'm so busy, I must focus on martial arts in the short term. I can't learn it and I don't have time to learn it. I can only ask you for help."

"I will!"

Having said that, even Huo Qing would not continue to be embarrassed. He held the jade slip in his hand and said firmly to An Jing: "Brother An, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Sitting down, Huo Qing started to study the jade slips. This passion for learning and cultivation was also the reason why An Jing was optimistic about him.

"Ruhui, this is yours."

An Jing also handed the same jade slip to You Ruhui, which made the other party a little flattered: "Huh? I have one too? But this... Although I also know the formation, I am more familiar with the Feng Shui secrets..."

You Ruhui naturally knows how to set up formations, and it can even be said that his level is quite high. This can be seen from the fact that he can even set up a temporary altar to control the veins of Kanming City.

It should be understood that the fact of being able to set up a temporary altar is equivalent to that the formation master can use the portable formation plate to set up the formation at any time and fight against others. To reach this level, You Ruhui's attainments in formation can be regarded as having reached the advanced level, and he is a real formation master!

Even if it was the Emperor's Blood, it would be extremely difficult to manipulate the Earth veins by instinct without the corresponding skills. It was precisely because the Emperor's Blood had advantages in these aspects that one had to study and improve them specifically, so as to maximize the advantages of one's own bloodline.

"It never hurts to learn a little anyway."

An Jing didn't have much expectation for You Ruhui. He just felt that after all, she had helped him block the earth veins, so she should have a share of the spoils - spiritual objects were difficult to divide, and the other party probably didn't need the boxing manual. In that case, only the Taiming Juyou Sutra had some value.

After doing all this, Huo Qing and You Ruhui were studying the jade slips, Aunt Huai was closing her eyes to nurture her life instrument, and An Jing also began to practice and condense the magic ban.

With the blessing of Xuanyuan Jingguang, his fourth ban will be condensed within about half a decade. If he practices for a while now, he may not have time to meditate when he returns to Huaixu Realm.

Soon, another half day passed.

late at night.

After bidding farewell to Huo Qing with some reluctance, An Jing and his party are about to return to Huaixu again.
