Linggen Civil Engineering only wants to build roads

Putting aside my daydreams, there's something very important to do today: learn the intermediate-grade Azure Water Array from the basic array inheritance.

Formations are divided into trapping formations, illusion formations, and killing formations. Some formations have different focuses, bringing certain characteristics to their extreme.

However, some formations are quite conventional, incorporating all three elements.

This is the Azure Water Formation.

It's comprehensive, but its power is only so-so.

However, this power is generally only relative to other formations; to laymen, it still appears extremely powerful.

"Entry-level, mid-grade Azure Water Formation!" Fang Chen's consciousness stirred.

Soon after, he successfully mastered the basics of this mid-grade array. He needed to build and dismantle the array repeatedly. However, unlike the basic array, this time he would need to use the Ten Directions Heaven Array of the array master Qing Zhenzi.

The common method of dismantling an array is to use spiritual energy attacks combined with activating the internal array nodes.

The essence of the Ten Directions Heaven Formation is to break another formation with another formation.

However, they only used ten of the most basic low-grade magic arrays.

Subsequently, without affecting his journey, Fang Chen mainly focused on improving his proficiency with this mid-grade magic array.

With the formation now at the mid-grade level, setting it up is not as easy as setting up a basic formation, and Fang Chen can only set it up about ten times a day. However, even so, Fang Chen's understanding of this mid-grade formation is gradually deepening.

"Senior Brother Shen, I want to participate in the attack this time!"

Since killing the Qi Refining Perfection cultivator from the Xie family last time, Shen Wen has been looking at Fang Chen with new respect.

Since he was not a noble person, he naturally seized this opportunity and established a relationship with this senior brother from the sect.

During this attack, Fang Chen also intended to secretly hone his formation-breaking skills and test the power of this superior clan-protecting formation.

"Excellent, Brother Fang! Your strength is formidable, and your subordinates are also progressing rapidly. I heard they've been using elixirs to cultivate in seclusion recently, so their strength must have improved considerably."

"Not at all, my subordinates are not very talented, so I have to use some elixirs to make up for it. It's fortunate that they have made some progress, but it can't be called very fast."

After chatting for a while, they decided on the people to attack the formation.

The squad that suffered heavy losses during the attack on the Xie family was transferred to guard the outer perimeter, and Fang Chen's team was used to replace them.

A few days later, several Tiger Tiger Camp teams gathered at the foot of a mountain ridge called Qingyang Ridge. Inside the ridge was a cave containing a spiritual eye, which was the place Fang Chen's team was going to attack.

This mountain range is now completely shrouded in a thick white fog, which is the superior protective formation of the family within.

The magic array is called the Flaming Dragon Life Protection Array.

It's one of the easier tiers to conquer; it should only take eight or nine days.

Shen Wen led his team to this place, and Fang Chen and the others from Qiyun Temple were also among them.

After the routine surrender attempt ended, the enemy retreated into their formation and refused to come out. Then, at a command, everyone set up their magical artifacts and spells to attack the formation.

Fang Chen followed suit, throwing out Thousand Mountains and striking fiercely at the clan's protective formation. As for why he didn't use a high-level spell, it was simply because spells consumed too much spiritual energy. For something as slow as this, he had to conserve his spiritual energy.

The great formation rippled with each attack from the various cultivators.

Streaks of fire shot out, their power considerable.

If a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining were to be hit by this attack, they would likely be seriously injured.

Fang Chen remained unfazed, instead channeling his spiritual energy into his eyes to secretly probe the changes in the entire formation.

If no one attacks, the entire formation is a seamless whole. Fang Chen's current formation cultivation is only at the mid-level, which is not high, so nothing can be seen. However, under the continuous attacks of everyone, what appears to others as ordinary red ripples is just that.

But in Fang Chen's eyes, it was completely different.

"There's a formation node here, and there's one here too."

"Huh? How come these array nodes can move?"

"It's amazing how it transformed like this! This Flame Dragon Formation is truly wondrous!"

"..."

Fang Chen was multitasking, simultaneously urging the Thousand Mountains to attack or defend while secretly observing the changes in the grand formation. Suddenly, he heard Shen Wen's voice in his ear, "Squad Leader Fang, lead your team to retreat and recover your spiritual energy. Rejoin the battle in an hour."

"Okay," Fang Chen replied, fully conscious.

Then he led his disciples to a safe place in the distance to restore their spiritual power.

While recovering his spiritual power, Fang Chen also devoted most of his attention to studying the various changes in the clan's protective formation.

Finally, after some time, a flash of inspiration struck Fang Chen.

"I see!" Fang Chen exclaimed with delight.

Ignoring the need to recover his spiritual energy, he immediately found a secluded corner where no one would notice him, and then began to take out the corner array flags and start to assemble the array on the spot. Observing the spiritual path of the array, it was the Three Talents Array.

At the same time, Fang Chen took out array flags and imitated the changes in the protective array of Qingyang Ridge.

Suddenly, it was discovered that the two formations had a striking similarity in a certain aspect.

This led Fang Chen to a conclusion.

"Could this Flaming Dragon Life Protection Formation be a combination of these basic formations?"

The more Fang Chen thought about it, the more excited he became. He then began to imitate other variations of the clan's protective formation. Sure enough, he also discovered traces of the Yin-Yang Formation and the Five Elements Formation within it.

My suspicions have been confirmed; according to my guess, there is now a direction to break the formation.

After all, he couldn't break this superior-grade Flame Dragon Life Protection Array on his own.

However, he had broken through the basic magic array contained within it no less than thousands of times in the past few days.

"I still need to collect more array variations," Fang Chen pondered to himself.

So, after their spiritual energy was fully restored, Fang Chen's team began a new round of bombardment from above, secretly recording the various changes in the superior-grade Flame Dragon Formation. Even after their spiritual energy was depleted, Fang Chen would recover it as soon as possible.

Do not miss any opportunity to observe the formation.

Three days later, Fang Chen suddenly stood up.

"This superior-grade Flame Dragon Formation has a total of thirty-six variations, all of which I have now recorded."

Fang Chen was quite confident about this formation.

For this, we must thank Master Qingzhenzi of the Tianbi Sect. Although his array formation inheritance is extremely difficult to learn, and practically impossible for array cultivator novices, it was just right for Fang Chen, who had an interface.

The Ten Directions Heaven Formation is particularly adept at breaking formations.

The various changes between formations are represented by ten basic formations.

This philosophy truly befits someone hailed as a master of formations.

For example, the Flaming Dragon Life Protection Array in front of us is a combination and transformation of five basic arrays, from the Tai Chi Array to the Five Elements Array.

Fang Chen was quite proficient in breaking these basic formations.

"Squad Leader Fang, you guys take over!"

"good!"

Hearing Shen Wen's words, Fang Chen smiled and said, "We've finally waited for this moment."

The superior-grade Flame Dragon Formation now holds no secrets from Fang Chen. All he needs to do now is, as always, try his best to trigger various changes in the formation, and then seize its key points to launch a major attack.

While pondering, Fang Chen held the Thousand-Layer Mountain in his hand, transforming it into a size of several zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), and slammed it fiercely towards the Flame Dragon Formation.

"It's here, the first one!"

"This is a variation of the Yin-Yang Formation!"

Fang Chen quickly thought it over, then gently touched a spot in the red ripples emanating from the Flame Dragon Formation.

A rock dragon flew out and crashed hard into the spot, causing the protective formation inside the clan to tremble violently!
