Chapter 291: Researching the Formation
charged after Lu Ye at lightning speed. He struck with a single blow, aiming straight for Lu Ye's heart.He came from the Mad Sword Sect and had been practicing for a long time. In swordsmanship, he wa...Several people were talking when the young man in white suddenly lowered his head to examine his battle wounds. A message arrived, and after a short while, he looked up, his expression strange as he gazed at Gu Canyang: "Senior Brother, is that Lu Daoist proficient in formations"
Gu Canyang pondered for a moment and said, “It is rumored that he has received the inheritance of a Spirit Pattern Master and can even activate some spirit patterns. Array Dao and Spirit Patterns are closely related… How”
The young man in white couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Lu Daoist seems to be studying how to break the protective formation at the edge of the sect's main formation."
"Breach the formation" Both Gu CanYang and Ji Yan were stunned.
A formation can certainly be broken, but a cultivator at the Lingxi realm is simply too weak. Even if they could break a formation, it would only be simple ones. Large-scale formations like a sect's protective barrier are impossible to break by one person alone.
This is also the reason why major sects' bases are difficult to conquer, because each sect's base is shrouded in its own protective barrier.
"Perhaps he's cultivating a formation. Pass the word down, don't bother him." Gu參陽 didn't think too much about it. Since Lu Ye wanted to study the formation, let him. It wouldn't hurt anyway.
On the other side, at the edge of the Shenyin Palace's protective formation, Lu Ye was observing the operation of the formation.
To break an array, you first need to find the weakness in its formation. Then, you can use targeted methods against that weakness. No matter what kind of array it is, it cannot be flawless.
The more sophisticated the formation, the fewer loopholes it has. Take the Protective Formation of the Zong Clan at Lingxi Battlefield, for example. It was basically built using formation bases bought from the Heavenly Secrets Treasury. Even the people who set up and maintain the formation may not necessarily be proficient in this art.
To take the Bixue Sect as an example, Hua Ci is in charge of the protective formation now. Hua Ci doesn't understand formation techniques at all, but with the jade pendant that corresponds to the formation, she can easily control it.
The situation here in the Hidden Palace is also the same.
The person controlling the formation wasn't proficient in large formations, and a large formation couldn't be perfect anyway. However, it was sufficient to withstand an attack from cultivators at the Lingxi Realm.
When Lu Ye was in the Bi Xue Sect, he learned the Way of Spirit Patterns from Yun Madam. He followed the principle of breaking before building, where Yun Madam would construct spirit patterns and Lu Ye would break them down. If you view spirit patterns as formations, then Lu Ye's act of breaking down spirit patterns is like dismantling a formation.
Of course, a real formation is far more complex than just one or two spirit runes. This is especially true for a defensive formation that covers an entire outpost; it likely involves dozens of different types of spirit runes.
Before, he didn't understand formations very well, so even though the Bi Xue Sect had its own protective formation later on, Lu Ye hadn't studied it.
With the theoretical accumulation almost enough, Lu Ye wanted to put it into practice.
The greatest function of the is to clearly see the flow of spiritual energy and the changes in its power.

With eyes empowered by the Insight Spirit Rune, he gazed upon the protective formation and immediately noticed a subtle difference. The spiritual energy on the light curtain flowed and surged like water, originating from one direction. Because the formation's light curtain was circular, with half above ground and half below, this process could circulate back and forth. As long as the formation had sufficient spiritual energy reserves, it could be maintained indefinitely.
In the Lingxi battlefield, heaven and earth spiritual energy is dense. Every sect's base camp has a Tianji pillar blessing. The large formation can store a massive amount of spiritual power even on normal days, and when attacked, it can enhance the power of the large formation, increasing its protective strength.
But on a normal day, the large array mostly just operates at its minimum level.o groups of cultivators are distinct. The southern side has consistently held the advantage in overall strength and deeper foundation. While the eastern side is weaker overall, due to various aids fro...
