Chapter 208 - 203: Three Years Later, Advancing to Third Stage Array Master, Ingenious Use of Array Heart Gu_l
“The Array Heart Gu? Let’s test this Gu insect’s power first.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
The Mist Yin-Yang Formation of the Immortal Mist Sect’s Mountain Protection Array is naturally the most suitable formation for this Gu insect.
This happens to be a third class, high-grade array.
Even considering the entire Immortal Mist Island, it can be considered a top-level array.
A newly born Array Heart Gu would definitely benefit greatly if it could devour this formation.
And the core of this formation happens to be located on Immortal Mist Peak.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, under the control of Zhou Sui’s mind, the Array Heart Gu turned into a beam of grey light and instantly disappeared into the depths of this third-stage formation.
As if acting on instinct, the Array Heart Gu directly found the core of this big formation and immediately burrowed into it.
Boom boom boom—
In an instant, the power of the Array Heart Gu spread out, as if wave after wave of formation patterns were flowing out from its body, continuously eroding this formation.
This was similar to a virus infiltrating a computer system.
If a successful invasion occurred, then this computer system would be at the mercy of the virus.
It was the same with the Array Heart Gu.
If it could completely assimilate this big formation, then it would gain complete control over this third-order formation, becoming the Formation Spirit of this formation, and would easily master the power of the formation.
“This!”
Suddenly, Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, as the mysteries of the formation flooded into his Sea of Consciousness like a tide with the Array Heart Gu continuously invading and assimilating this third-stage formation.
This helped him to further understand the formation.
“First-level formations are just the most basic formations in the Cultivation world. These low-level formations are ubiquitous and only make preliminary use of nature’s spiritual energy, without many requirements for the environment of the formation.”
“But second-stage formations are different. They can’t be set up casually. They need to use the surrounding environment of heaven and earth to set up a second-stage formation.
For example, by using a Yinsha environment, a Yinsha Big Formation can be set up, or by using the environment of an Earth Fire Spirit Vein, an Earth Fire Big Formation can be set up. In a Cold Ice environment, one can set up a Cold Ice Big Formation, etc. This is a formation that takes advantage of the local conditions.
It can be said that once one reaches the second-stage formation level, one can easily manipulate the natural forces of heaven and earth, exerting power far beyond the individual’s power.”
“As for the third-stage formations, they’re even more terrifying. They use the environment of heaven and earth to form domain power, which is somewhat similar to a Golden Core Master’s Golden Core Law Domain, turning into an array barrier.
Once one enters a third-stage formation, they would be enveloped by the array barrier, making escape impossible, which is why third-stage formations have become the Mountain Protection Array of the Golden Core Sect, even Golden Core Masters cannot forcefully break in.”
At this moment, Zhou Sui felt his understanding of formations was growing rapidly.
Originally, with the help of his partner Xia Jingyan, his understanding of formations had risen to the lower-class of second stage.
But now? With the power of the Array Heart Gu, his understanding of second-stage formations was increasing rapidly.
Mid-Class of Second Stage!
High-Class of Second Stage!
In just a few hours, his understanding of formations had improved to the high-level of the second stage.
Even the realm of third-stage formations was not too far away.
“Array Heart Gu, it’s simply an unrivaled tool for understanding formations.”
Zhou Sui was immediately amazed.
Originally, if he wanted to understand formations, it wasn’t so simple. It would take months, if not years of studying, before he could possibly understand them.
But now, with the power of Array Heart Gu, he could easily unravel the secrets of the third-stage Mist Yin-Yang Formation, enlightening him about the mysteries of many third-stage formations.
The saying “grasp one, understand a hundred” holds true.
Even if only one third-tier formation is understood through and through, the rest are just a matter of time.
To some extent, the understanding of formations is easy yet difficult.
If one doesn’t have enough comprehension, even reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm wouldn’t allow them to understand formations.
But if one has enough comprehension, even at the Qi Cultivation Stage they could understand third-tier formations, or even fourth-tier formations.
However, such people are as rare as pandas, few and far between.
“Array Heart Gu is steadily consuming the Mist Yin-Yang Formation.”
“Once it’s successful, it will become the Formation Spirit of this third-order formation.”
“And I can also use the power of the Array Heart Gu to step into the realm of a third-tier Array Master in one fell swoop.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin, feeling quite satisfied.
If he became a third-tier Array Master, he could freely manipulate this third-order large formation, unleashing unparalleled power.
And even if he went elsewhere, he could also set up the same formation.
After all, a safe cultivation environment is necessary, and formations are quite requisite for it.
Otherwise, any cultivator could rush into his cave residence, wouldn’t that be a joke?!
This cultivation session lasted until the evening, when the sun set and the moon rose.
“Right, I wonder how the Blood Demon Tree is doing?”
At this time, a thought flashed through Zhou Sui’s mind. He had always kept a clone near the Blood Shadow ancestor’s cave residence.
He was monitoring every move of this demon at all times.
If anything unexpected happened, he could quickly rally his wives and concubines to flee.
In that cave residence, the power emanating from the Blood Demon Tree was still spreading all around.
The entire land was being eroded by the demon’s power, appearing to be painted blood red..
