Chapter 224 What is the way? (2)
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The chanting sound of the ancient bell rippled out from Luo Xuanyi's sea of consciousness, spreading far and wide from the inside out. Although it was invisible, it shook the peach tree and caused it to rain down flowers.
Amidst the colorful falling flowers, Luo Xuanyi closed her eyes as if she was asleep, sitting cross-legged, like she was embracing the moon, motionless.
Compared with her statue-like silent figure, her soul is constantly being cleansed by the essence of the formation.
There were many ghost fires, and the dark blue flames were constantly swaying. Wisps of death energy were carved with Taoist patterns, and the numerous complex patterns flickered and flashed with brilliance.
Pieces of moon patterns were almost connected without any gaps as they were continuously absorbed into Luo Xuanyi's body, melting into puddles of water and then dissipating. The released formation essence immediately brought Luo Xuanyi into the mysterious enlightenment of the formation.
The image she had seen when she first entered the Dao Formation never reappeared. Luo Xuanyi now entered the true Dao Realm. This world was empty, a void, like the inside of a chicken egg. Compared to the world, Luo Xuanyi, infinitesimally small, was the newborn waiting to hatch within the eggshell.
Endless golden Dao patterns, seemingly haphazardly carved throughout the shell, overlapped so densely that Luo Xuanyi could barely discern the complete trajectory of a single fine line. She gazed at the Dao patterns, sometimes feeling her soul being drawn in, sometimes feeling the Dao patterns slowly collapse and the abyss gazing towards her. But these were all illusions.
These Dao patterns are the collection of all the formations and arrays over tens of thousands of years, but it is impossible to learn all the formations. Everyone will continue to peel off the Dao patterns here and eventually find a way.
Human arrays, Dao arrays, painting arrays, poison arrays, spatial arrays... countless Dao techniques are so dazzling, but are these arrays really suitable for oneself? Perhaps after spending a lot of time comprehending, finally finding a complete Dao pattern, but this Dao pattern is not suitable for oneself, and time is running out.
Therefore, the longer one comprehends, the more likely one is to find the Dao pattern that truly suits them, and then carve it into their main flag, that is, into their soul. From then on, until their own Dao seed is generated, they can only comprehend this Dao. The Dao seed is also generated based on this first Dao pattern.
Those who carve have no regrets. The first Dao Mark holds absolute dominance. Even if you carve a second or third Dao Mark later, your formation will still be centered around the first Dao Mark. You must proceed with extreme caution.
Fortunately, Luo Xuanyi had enough time.
She observed these golden lines, constantly trying to capture the precise route. After consuming the Dao essence of three formations, she finally captured the first Dao mark.
A healing array. Luo Xuanyi felt it rapidly infuse a portion of Dao essence into her soul. Countless healing arrays flashed through her mind, but she couldn't remember the formations. She could only "see" the smiling faces of those who had used the healing array throughout the ages. Luo Xuanyi immediately discarded this Dao mark.
The stripped Dao Marks did not return to the inner wall covered with Dao Marks, but instead floated around Luo Xuanyi. She reached out and pushed them away.
Luo Xuanyi had already figured it out. When she generated her main flag, it would acquire the following attributes: poison, corrosion, seizure, life and death, feedback, and remote manipulation. Her formations had to be configured according to these attributes to maximize their power. If the first pattern didn't control life and death, it had to at least be able to unleash the power of poison and corrosion to kill the enemy.
No need to rush. Luo Xuanyi exhaled and continued searching.
Pieces of moon pattern pieces were swallowed and fell into Luo Xuanyi's body, causing the original ghost fire to sway, but the faint flame gradually stopped rejecting it.
The shadow beneath the original will-o'-the-wisp slowly took shape, becoming thicker and heavier, like an unpolished bronze disc, its edges and corners rough and devoid of any agility. It had one hundred and eight holes arranged in a perfectly aligned pattern.
Suddenly, the bronze disc trembled slightly, a flash of light appeared, and a layer of ash fell off.
Luo Xuanyi held the second and third traces in her hands. The two traces were almost entangled together. She tried to peel them off together, but unexpectedly she succeeded.
The Dao essence in the two Dao marks poured into Luo Xuanyi's mind at the same time, and countless images flashed by, but to Luo Xuanyi's disappointment, these were only the text formation and the pen formation. The two formations intersected at many points, so Luo Xuanyi could remove them at the same time.
The literary formation relies on words to possess spirits, using words as a formation. While seemingly powerful, it must adhere to the righteous path, namely, confronting the enemy head-on and persuading others to do good. Luo Xuanyi is absolutely not suitable.
After the fourth and fifth Dao Marks, Luo Xuanyi quickly mastered the method of peeling them off. Perhaps because she had peeled so many Dao Marks, or perhaps because she had been infused with so much Dao Essence, the Dao Marks no longer repelled her. Even so, the Dao Essence of the fifty-four formations had already been consumed. Ordinary formation cultivators simply wouldn't have the luxury of carefully selecting Dao Marks at this time.
The fourth water array was also of no help to Luo Xuanyi, but the fifth poison array was exactly the type Luo Xuanyi could consider carving in. She grasped the poison array Dao mark, and the Dao essence immediately poured into her mind.
The poison array, which infects all living things with poison, will tamper with everything within it. Even life-saving spiritual herbs or ordinary stones will become poisonous within the array. If a cultivator enters the poison array, they will be immediately poisoned, and will be poisoned upon exiting.
But the interesting thing is that the poison in the poison array needs to be prepared by the monk himself. The amount of poison you need to prepare depends on the size of the space you want to enclose in the poison array. If the poison is not prepared well, it may not be able to kill the enemy.
Furthermore, the poison array cultivator also needs to pay the price of tampering. Anything tampered with in the poison array belongs to the heavens, and the array will only last for a short period of time due to backlash, and the tampered objects will never return to their original state.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been very few formation practitioners who practice poison formations.
However, Luo Xuanyi can ignore several of the restrictions. She can configure the poison with the Life of All Things, and the main flag has been refined into the Life of All Things, so the poisonous gas emitted can be used as poison.
Although it had fewer restrictions on Luo Xuanyi, the poison array was still somewhat useless to her. Therefore, she simply hung the poison array Dao Mark on the belt around her waist and continued to peel off the Dao Mark.
The sixth wind formation, the seventh music formation, and the eighth weaver formation were all useless formations that Luo Xuanyi had no use for. The essence of the twenty formations was consumed again. Luo Xuanyi relied on the remaining 220 or so moon pattern pieces and was not panicked at all.
His entire body was deeply etched with Dao marks of death. A main flag and formation flags echoed, fluttering and dancing as the increasingly heavy toll of the Hongmeng Bell rang. As the bell continued to ring, Luo Xuanyi's original ghost fire had almost merged with the bronze disc.
Luo Xuanyi focused on peeling off the Dao Marks, the human array, the body array, the object and creature array...
It was not until she peeled off the thirteenth mark and held it in her hand that Luo Xuanyi finally became excited.
The thirteenth trace is called the Upper Observer Formation.
