After pushing away the previous true energy, Chen Zhou immediately devoted himself to outlining the pattern this time. This time, Chen Zhou already knew the difference between the previous pattern and this one, so he naturally wouldn't make the same mistake as before.
Strands of golden-white true energy emerged from Chen Zhou's fingertips, like wisps of smoke, gathering in front of him. Chen Zhou then manipulated them into golden-white ribbons, like beautiful golden-white silk.
Suddenly, strands of silk broke apart in front of Chen Zhou. He first selected a small section, and then used another section to connect it to the previously selected section. Moreover, the width of these silk-like golden-white true qi was strictly controlled by Chen Zhou, thus reducing the possibility of the lines intersecting.
Moreover, Chen Zhou paid special attention to the curvature of the true qi lines this time. This three-dimensional pattern requires control over the curvature of the true qi.
If a certain part is slightly over-curved, or not curved to a certain degree, the lines of true energy will intersect.
Once the lines intersect, the pattern becomes invalid. This is the biggest difference between three-dimensional and two-dimensional patterns that Chen Zhou discovered. To completely outline this three-dimensional pattern, one must master this technique, and Chen Zhou is currently trying his best to control the angle.
The true energy originating from the same person naturally possesses a mutual attraction force, which is latent but not significant. However, for Chen Zhou now, this force has a great impact. Because the lines of this three-dimensional pattern are very closely spaced, and Chen Zhou used true energy to outline these lines, it's as if the distance between the true energy lines is very close.
This directly caused the attraction between the true qi to affect Chen Zhou's outlining of the pattern.
Therefore, Chen Zhou had to distract himself to control the attraction between the several lines of true energy. If he didn't control it, the attraction would be enough to affect the outline of the pattern.
"This is too much training for the mastery of true qi..." Chen Zhou realized at this moment how difficult it was to draw this pattern. Chen Zhou had to reach a certain level of mastery of true qi to be able to draw it. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to draw this pattern.
"Now you know why this pattern is placed in the third section, right?" Old Ren suddenly said at this moment, at just the right time.
Chen Zhou agreed with Ren Lao's statement. He realized that he had underestimated the pattern before, and he should pay the price for his ignorance.
"Elder Ren, I already know, so I'm sure I can sketch it out!" Chen Zhou said firmly, as if he had made up his mind. He continued his work, and the pattern in front of him had now completed an outer circle. Now it was time for the main event.
Outlining the lines within the circle is undoubtedly the most difficult part, and this is where Chen Zhou previously failed.
At this time, night had quietly fallen outside the shed. Ji Lanying, Zhu Yuande, and Zhu Yuancheng were sitting together eating. The three of them were gathered around a fire, all looking at Chen Zhou's shed.
"Still cultivating so late?" Zhu Yuancheng had recovered a small portion of his true energy, and his complexion had improved considerably. He muttered to himself.
“His talent is no less than yours, and may even be greater than yours,” Ji Lanying said, her face blank.
"Is he cultivating? The entire shed is lit up by his true energy." Zhu Yuande said in surprise. Normally, people would not choose to release their true energy when cultivating, as this would attract unnecessary trouble. However, Chen Zhou was releasing so much true energy at this time, which Zhu Yuande thought was unusual.
It was as if he wasn't cultivating at all, but doing something else entirely.
"It's the fluctuation of true energy. Could he be setting up an array?" Zhu Yuancheng said in surprise. Cultivators don't choose to release their true energy outwards, and the only one who can cultivate so quietly while releasing true energy is cultivating an array.
Similarly, they came from a sect specializing in formations, so they naturally understood the importance of cultivating formations. Every person who learns formations needs time to hone their skills and needs to study for a long time. If they don't study, it will be difficult to master formations.
Generally speaking, it would take Zhu Yuande and Zhu Yuancheng several months to truly master a formation. If they didn't spend that much time, they wouldn't be able to truly grasp the core of the formation.
In fact, learning a simple formation is quite easy for a formation master, but mastering a formation completely takes a lot of time.
All three understood this principle very well. Although they did not witness Chen Zhou using formations to defeat the army of corpse puppets, they had still experienced a great deal about Chen Zhou's formation techniques, which amazed each of them.
"It seems they're practicing formations," Ji Lanying agreed, a strange glint in her eyes.
Inside the shed, Chen Zhou had already sketched out many lines within the large circle of the pattern. These elegant strips of true energy, like silk, were arranged in an orderly fashion, with each line of true energy being exceptionally stable and without any sense of abnormality.
Chen Zhou truly controlled the attraction between the lines of true qi.
“Not bad. As long as you keep at it, you’ll be able to sketch this pattern.” Old Ren said quietly, lying on his recliner, occasionally rocking the chair.
Chen Zhou responded to Elder Ren in his heart and continued to sketch in reality. The lines appeared quickly under Chen Zhou's fingertips, and then Chen Zhou slowed down and slowly connected them with the lines he had sketched before.
