People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 258: The formation has greatly improved, but there is a flaw in the Ten Absolutes!
Three thousand years later.

Yang Xuan slowly opened his eyes from the throne, put away the jade book in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Shangqing is good at formations. This Nine Nether Immortal Locking Formation is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

When he first saw this formation, Yang Xuan felt its extraordinaryness and believed it could be used as a mountain protection formation in the underworld.

Now that he looked at it in detail, Yang Xuan's feelings became more obvious, and he also realized how demanding his original requirements were.

This formation is composed of 3,600 formations of different sizes, and there are linkages between each formation. This is not a simple algorithm of one plus one equals.

Whether it is the overall stability, complexity, or power, it cannot be compared with 3,600 overlapping formations.

Even though the Nine Nether Locking Immortal Array has twelve array cores, which are the weakest points of the entire array, this array core is also composed of multiple arrays and is not so easy to break.

By participating in the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Array, Yang Xuan is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world. His comprehension is already good, and he is also blessed with the Golden Wheel of Morality and the Spirit Liquid of Enlightenment.

In just over three thousand years, his attainments in the art of formations have improved tremendously, and he has also gained a deeper understanding of the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Formation.

"Perhaps, this formation still has room for improvement. Theoretically, the interaction between formations should not be limited to one time..."

Yang Xuan rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

Although the current Nine Nether Locking Immortal Array is composed of 3,600 different formations, not every one of these 3,600 formations are interconnected.

Instead, after these 3,600 different basic formations were arranged, 360 formations were arranged based on them, and finally the final Nine Nether Locking Immortal Formation was formed.

This arrangement method is indeed stronger than the overlapping of 3,600 formations, but it is still quite different from Yang Xuan’s original idea.

His real idea was to hope that there would be one or more different linkages between each basic formation.

The three thousand six hundred basic formations were combined in different ways to arrange a giant formation that was far larger than the three thousand six hundred formations, and finally formed into the final large formation.

Of course, achieving this is extremely difficult. Even if there are only three different formations, there can be seven different combinations.

With each additional tower, the maximum number of possible combinations will increase exponentially. We also have to consider the formations composed of these basic formations, and its complexity can be imagined.

Even if there are only thirty or fifty basic formations, in order to derive a large formation that meets the above requirements, one not only needs a solid foundation in formations, but also a strong deductive ability.

If it really came to this, even a master of formations like Sanxiao would probably find it difficult to accomplish this. As for the three thousand six hundred...

It's basically impossible!

However, if we do not seek perfection, if we improve the existing formations in Honghuang according to Yang Xuan's idea, we can definitely bring these formations to a new level!
"This is a good excuse to discuss the Dao with the disciples of Jiejiao."

Yang Xuan smiled slightly, stood up and walked out of the Fengdu Ghost Palace.

Although these are just general ideas, just concepts, and cannot be considered as formations at all.

However, this is a concept that has never appeared before. Since ancient times, creating anything from nothing has always been the most difficult process. Yang Xuan’s discussion of the Tao in this way is not also a kind of guidance.

More than three thousand years ago, as the Wu Clan transported the first batch of spiritual objects, the Ten Heavenly Lords and other disciples of the Jiejiao began to organize the immortals and gods left in the underworld by the Heavenly Court, as well as the ghosts and gods sealed by Yang Xuanshe, and began to set up the Nine Netherworlds Locking Immortals Formation.

Although a short period of more than three thousand years is nothing for such a large formation, even the prototypes of the three thousand six hundred basic formations have not yet been built.

However, after understanding the Nine Nether Locking Immortal Array, Yang Xuan could still see a lot of things.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. If you don't know the formation diagram of the Nine Nether Locking Immortal Formation, even if you build 3,600 basic formations, you won't be able to see the key points.

But for Yang Xuan, these formation bases that were being set up still allowed him to gain new insights and gain a new understanding of the Nine Nether Locking Immortal Formation.

Just like this, for the next thousand years or so, Yang Xuan sat cross-legged on Qingluan's back, walking around the underworld, stopping and starting to check the layout of the Nine Nether Locking Immortal Array.

From time to time, he would find the Jiejiao disciple who was in charge of the command and raise some of his confusions in the name of supervision.

After all, this Nine Netherworlds Locking Immortal Formation is the result of many years of hard work by the disciples of the Jie Religion, and it even involves some of the concepts of the Jie Religion.

Originally, Yang Xuan thought that even if these Jiejiao disciples were willing to help him solve his doubts due to his status, they would not say too much and would definitely stop at the right time.

Unexpectedly, when these Jiejiao disciples saw him coming, they were all polite and no longer had that condescending attitude they had at the beginning. They were even more enthusiastic about answering Yang Xuan's questions.

When Yang Xuan asked a question, they gave at least two answers and then threw in another question, turning Yang Xuan's request for advice into a discussion.

Moreover, this is not an isolated case, but the same applies to every person Yang Xuan interviewed, even the Ten Heavenly Lords are no exception.

In the end, the Ten Heavenly Lords even took the initiative to propose that after a thousand years, they would call Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming to have a discussion about the formation.

Yang Xuan didn't understand this, but he welcomed it very much.

Originally, he had been thinking of finding an opportunity to discuss the Dao with the Jiejiao disciples before leaving the underworld. Now that the Jiejiao disciples were so enthusiastic, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Today is the day we agreed upon.

When Yang Xuan returned to Fengdu Ghost Palace, the Three Sky Gods, the Ten Heavenly Lords and other disciples of Jiejiao were already waiting in the palace.

The Jiejiao sect is famous for its formations, and every Jiejiao disciple has one or two formations that he is good at.

Although the Ten Heavenly Lords' cultivation level is not very high among the outer sects of Jiejiao, they are quite famous and have outstanding attainments in the art of formations.

According to records of later generations, during the subsequent Conferred God Battle, the Ten Heavenly Lords set up ten top-notch formations: Heaven's Absolute, Earth's Fierce, Wind's Howl, Ice's Cold, Golden Light's, Blood's Transformation, Flames', Soul's Fall, Red Water, and Red Sand.

Each formation required the sacrifice of one person and the use of specific magic weapons to counteract the formation in order to successfully break it, causing the Chan Sect to suffer heavy losses.

There is no need to say more about the Three Sisters. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation shone brilliantly during the Conferred God Battle. If the saints had not intervened, the outcome of the Conferred God Battle would have been hard to predict.

Zhao Gongming was the outer sect disciple of Jiejiao. Although there was no record of him deploying battle formations to fight the enemy in later records, how could he not be good at battle formations?

If the disciples of Jiejiao are not good at formations, wouldn’t that make them heretics?
What's more, Zhao Gongming's famous magic treasure is a complete set of magic weapons such as the Dinghai Shenzhen Pearl. Without a matching formation, how can the power of this treasure be fully exerted?
As for the other disciples of Jiejiao, their attainments in the art of formations are also not to be underestimated. Discussing the Dao with such a group of people will definitely allow Yang Xuan to gain huge benefits.

After a few brief greetings, Yang Xuan went straight to the point and officially began to discuss the Dao.

In order to enable these disciples of Jiejiao to display more real skills and knowledge, Yang Xuan spoke first and shared some ideas he had gained from his previous comprehension of the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Array.

If we follow Yang Xuan's idea and want to link all the formations of a complex formation to form more formations, making the final formation more complex and more powerful, there are too many things that need to be deduced.

Even if it is just a complex large formation composed of three to five hundred basic formations, it will take a lot of time for a Daluo Jinxian who is good at formations to deduce a large formation that meets the above requirements.

To this end, Yang Xuan combined the ideas of later generations and deduced an auxiliary method called modular array construction. Through this method, the basic array can be organized into corresponding modules according to its characteristics and functions, and then these modules can be arranged and combined to form a more complex array, thereby reducing the number of deductions required.

This method is not too sophisticated, it is just an auxiliary method. As for what kind of formation can be arranged, it depends on the attainments of the person who arranges the formation.

The real rareness of this method lies in the fact that it is an innovation created from scratch.

After hearing this, Sanxiao and the others were all shocked and filled with emotion.

When they had created the first complex formation in the prehistoric world—the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Formation—according to Yang Xuan's idea, they had guessed that Yang Xuan was a master of formations.

Otherwise, even a quasi-saint would find it difficult to come up with such a profound concept.

Now, after hearing about the modular array construction method, they are more convinced of their original concept.

Considering that Yang Xuan had never seemed to have any interest in joining Jiejiao.

People like the Ten Heavenly Lords began to suspect that maybe Yang Xuan himself had considerable attainments in the art of formations, and felt that it would be difficult to improve even if he joined the Jie Religion, so he was unwilling to join the Jie Religion.

Otherwise, how could a casual cultivator refuse Zhao Gongming's invitation and be unwilling to join Jiejiao?
"Today I must take out some of my best array formations and let you see the true meaning of my Jiejiao array formations, so that you will take the initiative to join my Jiejiao!"

The Ten Heavenly Lords and others looked at each other and began to explain what they had learned about formations.

For a moment, in the Fengdu Ghost Palace, the sound of Taoism echoed, the immortal energy of Shangqing was dense, and the divine light shone brightly, breaking through the surrounding ghost energy.

Bixiao even took out a formation flag and inserted it into the hall.

The flag of the formation was like misty smoke, with Taoist text of the formation visible on it.

In just a moment, with Fengdu Ghost Palace as the center, within a radius of tens of millions of miles around, the ground veins changed, the five elements surged, and the earth, fire, wind and water were transformed again. The mysterious formation was unfolded in an instant, trapping everyone inside.

The large formation did not demonstrate any attack capability. Instead, there were endless array texts flowing within it, which were apparently deliberately displayed for people to comprehend.

The Ten Heavenly Lords had intended to show off their true abilities and let Yang Xuan see the true meaning of Jiejiao's formation. When they saw Bixiao setting up the formation, they immediately did the same thing.

They pointed their hands into the air, revealing the Ten Directions Formation Platform. They flew forward and sat cross-legged on it, silently reciting the formation formula and hiding in the formation.

Om-!
next moment.

The earth cracked, the sky roared, and a large formation with lines of blood or golden light appeared in front of Yang Xuan in an instant.

Just like Bixiao, these large formations did not activate their attack capabilities. Instead, there were endless formation divine patterns flowing for Yang Xuan to comprehend.

Looking at the eleven large formations covering the sky and the earth in front of him, Yang Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"These Jiejiao disciples are a little too enthusiastic..."

He just wanted the disciples of Jiejiao to show more of their real skills so that he could gain more insights into the art of fighting.

Now looking at it this way, it is clear that the Ten Heavenly Lords have not only shown some of their real abilities, they have also brought out all their hidden abilities.

The formation evolved by the Ten Heavenly Lords and others is exactly their famous formation - the Ten Absolute Formations!

The formation evolved by Bixiao is the famous Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation in later generations.

Although they did not evolve the most core and fundamental parts for Yang Xuan to comprehend, they are still extremely valuable.

Just by taking a look, Yang Xuan had many insights.

"Could it be that... they are still unwilling to give up their evil intentions, and since hard tactics don't work, they want to use soft tactics. They plan to take this opportunity to let me see the Jiejiao formations, so that I will think about joining the Jiejiao?"

"If that's the case, then I can only say sorry. I don't want to get involved in Jiejiao's affairs. Being able to protect the four people of Bixiao is already my limit!"

Yang Xuan's expression did not change at all. No matter what the intentions of the Ten Heavenly Lords and others were, for Yang Xuan, this was a rare opportunity.

If you miss this opportunity, you may never find this store again.

Yang Xuan did not say much. He immediately crossed his legs and closed his eyes. He picked up the Xuanling Immortal Gourd and poured a drop of turquoise spiritual liquid of enlightenment into his mouth. At the same time, the golden wheel of morality appeared behind his head, and he began to participate in the divine patterns of the formation.

at the same time.

The Ten Heavenly Lords and others were deeply moved when they saw Yang Xuan enter a state of enlightenment in an instant.

"With such comprehension and attainments in formation, it would be a pity if he didn't join my Jie Sect."

Afterwards, the Ten Heavenly Lords and others spoke one after another, telling about their own insights into the great art of formation.

This lecture lasted for more than five thousand years. Listening to the disciples of Jiejiao talking about their experience in formation, Yang Xuan gained a lot of insights and his attainments in formation improved significantly.

Even by the standards of Jiejiao, he is now considered to be an expert, and is much stronger than many creatures who have been immersed in formations for many years.

He also had some preliminary ideas about the supporting formations of the Tianyan Abacus and had a clear idea of ​​the future direction.

Refining the three thousand Dao beads of the Tianyan Abacus is a task that requires a lot of time and a large number of spiritual objects.

Now that he understood the direction of the matching formation, Yang Xuan could, during this period, perfect the formation while refining the Dao beads and auxiliary materials for setting up the formation, saving him a lot of time.

In addition, by comprehending the formations demonstrated by the Ten Heavenly Lords and others, Yang Xuan also gained a deeper understanding of their formations.

Combined with the memories of later generations, Yang Xuan discovered two huge flaws in the Ten Absolute Formations.

During these four thousand years, the Ten Heavenly Lords and others had not held back the slightest bit of their understanding of the formations except for the core part of the Ten Absolute Formations, as if they were afraid that Yang Xuan would not see it.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Xuan’s gains were so great that in just over four thousand years, they were comparable to what he had gained by comprehending for tens of thousands or even millions of years.

Regardless of Yang Xuan's position or his attitude towards the disciples of Jiejiao, from his personal perspective, this matter has caused him to owe a considerable cause and effect.

It is absolutely impossible for him to live into the Conferred God Tribulation in order to resolve the cause and effect.

However, before the Conferred God Tribulation, it would not be a problem to help the Ten Heavenly Lords perfect the Ten Absolute Formations so that they would have more protection during the Conferred God Tribulation and thus resolve the cause and effect.

Anyway, the catastrophe of Conferred Gods has not come yet, so can you fall into the catastrophe because of such a small matter?
As for Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming, as long as they could stay in the underworld obediently, that would be enough to end this cause and effect.

After coming up with an idea in his mind, Yang Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the Ten Heavenly Lords...
