Chapter 8, 9 Yue Guiyuan Chaolin Grand Formation
Chapter 8, 9 Yue Guiyuan Chaolin Grand Formation
Qilin Cliff, within a bamboo forest.
Mo Yuan lay on the meditation cushion, holding his breath and letting the Daoist aura emanating from the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo envelop him. With his Daoist heart clear and his mind pure, he adjusted himself to his optimal state.
From the moment the Qilin transformed into Qilin Cliff, Qilin Cliff was enveloped by the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, obscure rules, and overwhelming resentment. The original Yin-Yang and Five Elements formation began to disintegrate, and then the earth's veins were gradually damaged.
Therefore, to repair the earth veins of Qilin Cliff, one must first use yin-yang and five-element spiritual objects as a guide to reshape the yin-yang and five-element formation, and then allow the origin of heaven and earth to flow automatically, restoring the damaged earth veins to their original state.
In his original plan, Mo Yuan intended to rely on his understanding of the array formations in the inheritance of the Primordial Qilin to gain insights and reshape the Yin-Yang Five Elements array formation.
But now, with the jade slip given to him by the Jade Cauldron Immortal, he can comprehend the most basic array formations, and further study the array formations that only Golden Immortals can set up, achieving a perfect synergy.
Mo Yuan took out the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.
A massive torrent of information exploded like countless stars at once, and countless runes and profound truths appeared in Mo Yuan's soul. He did not try to comprehend the way of weapon crafting or alchemy, but instead devoted all his energy to comprehending the way of array formations.
"It turns out that the mysteries of this place can be divided into four realms."
"Object formations, momentum formations, treasure formations, and mind formations, and the Yin-Yang Five Elements formation of Qilin Cliff is a type of momentum formation."
Mo Yuan comprehended the profound mysteries of the array formation, greedily absorbing the vast amount of knowledge.
The so-called physical array is constructed with spirit stones as its bones and array flags as its veins, using rare and precious materials to build a framework around the heavens, much like a craftsman using mortise and tenon joints to build a platform, evolving into large arrays with different functions.
The formation uses rivers and lakes as its patterns, mountains and stars as its core elements, and the laws of the Great Dao as its core.
For example, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation of Qilin Cliff was evolved from the Qilin Great Dao Law when Qilin Cliff was born, with Yin and Yang complete and the Five Elements following each other. In essence, it is no different from other top immortal blessed lands such as Kunlun Mountain and Yujing Mountain.
Chaos is like a mother, Yin and Yang are the pulse, and the Five Elements are the bones.
After the great god Pangu created the primordial world, chaos transformed into yin and yang between heaven and earth. The interaction of yin and yang gave rise to the five elements. Therefore, all the top immortal abodes possess both yin and yang and all five elements.
What Mo Yuan needs to do is rely on spiritual objects to reshape the Yin-Yang Five Elements formation of Qilin Cliff, so that all order can operate in a way that is closest to the rules of heaven and earth.
The treasure array is based on innate spiritual treasures, innate spiritual roots, and innate supreme treasures, and is activated by drawing upon the spiritual energy and great power of heaven and earth. For example, the Hetu Luoshu in the hands of Emperor Jun can evolve into the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array, while the Taiji Diagram of Taiqing Laozi can use the Yin-Yang Taiji Grand Array to determine the earth, fire, wind and water.
The last one is the Heart Array!
Quasi-Saints and Great Powers, Heavenly Saints, can circulate their energy in a single breath and reconstruct the laws with a snap of their fingers. Wherever they stand becomes the core of the formation, and their thoughts create their own domain.
The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan is a type of mental formation. Of course, this formation has many mysteries, but Mo Yuan is not yet qualified to explore them.
"The intricacies of array formations are beyond my comprehension, but if I have the opportunity, I will definitely try to calmly comprehend the great arrays of the world and achieve some mastery in the art of array formations."
Mo Yuan secretly made up his mind; he was very interested in the Dao of Battle.
Given his background, comprehension, luck, and fortune, he doesn't aspire to pursue the path of a sage; he simply wants to steadily improve his cultivation and inner strength.
The arts of array formation, weapon crafting, and alchemy can all serve as a foundation. If one can become a master of these three arts, achieving unity and integration, he might attain unexpected fortune.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Mo Yuan was immersed in the mysteries of array formations. He also began to deduce in his mind how to reshape the Yin-Yang Five Elements array using spiritual objects.
The essence of the Earth element and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in from all directions, and a faint mysterious yellow light emanated from his body. For him, comprehending the Dao of Arrays was also a way of cultivation to enhance his magical power and strengthen his foundation.
Thunder roared within the bamboo forest. The Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo itself possessed a thunder barrier, and after absorbing the profound principles of array formations that Mo Yuan had unintentionally released, it actually generated a trace of array power.
Mo Yuan sensed the changes in the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, and a hint of joy appeared between his brows.
The Thunder Barrier may seem violent and powerful, but it is nothing to mention in front of cultivators with strong physical bodies or those who have comprehended the Dao of Arrays.
If a treasure array can be successfully created, even True Immortals and Golden Immortals will not be able to easily decipher its mysteries.
When the Thunder Barrier truly transforms into the Thunder Treasure Array, Mo Yuan will have another trump card. At that time, simply summoning the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo will be enough to resist powerful True Immortals and Golden Immortals.
"In the primordial world, in addition to focusing on cultivation level, one must also pay attention to whether one's own foundation is strong, and the foundation is reflected in spiritual treasures, spiritual roots, Dao fields, and the laws of the Great Dao."
"I now possess spiritual treasures such as the Enlightenment Futon, the Water Element Pearl, and the Qian Yuan Pagoda, as well as the mid-grade innate spiritual root, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo. I also use Qilin Cliff as my training ground. Therefore, my foundation is far stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level. Even Golden Immortals do not have such a profound foundation as me."
"As for the laws of the Great Dao, I myself am based on Earth, and as my cultivation level increases, I will naturally comprehend the laws of Earth..."
Mo Yuan thought to himself as he took stock of his own situation.
Burdened by the sins of killing, karmic consequences, and the shackles of the heavenly order, he is imprisoned, but his own strength gives him great confidence in breaking free from these constraints and changing the status quo.
"By diligently following the Way of Heaven and constantly cultivating oneself, one's inner light will remain ever-burning. When one's merits are profound and the conditions are right, one will surely see the gates of Heaven open."
Mo Yuan somehow grasped a key to cultivation. His understanding of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the laws of destiny surpassed his own cultivation level at this moment.
This is extremely rare in the prehistoric world.
Time flies, like a fleeting moment.
More than two hundred years later, when Mo Yuan withdrew his divine sense from the jade slip, he already knew how to reshape the Yin-Yang Five Elements formation using spiritual objects.
He stood up, a deep light flashing in his eyes. His Daoist aura was peaceful and perfect, and his magical power and physical strength were seamlessly integrated.
Every gesture and movement aligns with the principles of heaven and earth, containing profound and mysterious formations.
"Using the extreme yang and strength of the Qilin True Fire and the extreme yin and evil of the North Sea Cold Iron, we construct the yin-yang foundation of Qilin Cliff. Then, using the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, Water Element Pearl, Geng Metal Spirit Crystal, the fire attribute of the Qilin True Fire, and my own Earth element, we condense the source of the five elements of Qilin Cliff, and then the yin-yang five elements formation is complete."
"The most crucial aspect of this matter lies in the Earthly Branch. I need to use the Qilin Clan's supernatural powers to communicate with the nine most magnificent mountains within the Qilin Cliff territory, so that they can form a protective barrier and be connected with Qilin Cliff, achieving a mutually supportive relationship."
Mo Yuan stood up and muttered to himself.
With a slight thought, a series of orderly rules radiating a mysterious yellow light appeared. These orderly rules were the manifestation of the formation of Qilin Cliff, covering tens of millions of miles of heaven and earth.
"Qilin True Fire, Northern Sea Cold Iron, by imperial decree!"
Mo Yuan gave a soft shout, and the Qilin True Fire at the top of the Wind and Cloud Horns floated in the air. The pure Yang energy evolved into array divine patterns, which were imprinted on those rules of order.
In the blink of an eye, the previously dim and incomplete order rules began to improve, and Mo Yuan could clearly sense that the formation of Qilin Cliff was strengthening.
At the same time, pieces of cold iron from the North Sea, each over a hundred feet long, appeared on the ground, filling the air with an extremely yin and malevolent aura. Even Mo Yuan felt his blood congeal.
The North Sea Cold Iron is not an extremely rare or precious natural treasure, but the Yin essence and Yin laws contained within it are extremely pure, enough to chill the spirit and bones.
Soon, the rich Yin essence was condensed by Mo Yuan into array divine patterns, and it began to merge with the array's order and rules.
As the Yin essence was extracted, the Yin laws returned to the Qilin Cliff world on their own, and the eerie light emanating from the North Sea Cold Iron began to dissipate until it turned into dust.
The construction of Yin and Yang using only Qilin True Fire and North Sea Cold Iron took Mo Yuan more than a hundred years, but the results were extremely remarkable.
After the reshaping of Yin and Yang, the pure Qi rises and the turbid Qi sinks within the Qilin Cliff area, Yin and Yang interact, and there is an implicit eternal balance in accordance with the operation of the rules of heaven and earth.
"The sharpness of Geng metal is hidden and immortal, the energy of Yi wood is all-knowing and adaptable, the gentleness of Ren water nourishes all things, the essence of Bing fire shines brightly in the heavens, and the power of Wu earth is vast and majestic."
"The principles of the Five Elements are contained within this; the laws of the Five Elements are endlessly regenerating. Go!"
Mo Yuan spoke in a deep voice, muttering to himself.
He took out six or seven hundred pieces of Gengjin spirit crystals and activated the Gengjin essence to transform into array divine patterns. At the same time, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, Water Element Pearl, and Qilin True Fire also released a continuous stream of essence, which then evolved into array divine patterns, beginning to fill the gaps in the order rules of the Five Elements Yin Yang array.
Mo Yuan controlled everything with his divine sense. After seeing that there were no flaws, he left the depths of Qilin Cliff and came to the top of Qilin Cliff.
As you look out, thousands of peaks seem to bow and ten thousand ridges seem to pay homage, creating a scene reminiscent of hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea and stars surrounding the moon.
Qilin Cliff is right in the very center.
"Before using the Thick Earth Resonance Technique to perceive the world within the Qilin Cliff area, finding the nine mountains with the most profound origins and containing a vast amount of profound Dao principles among these tens of thousands of immortal mountains was like finding a needle in a haystack for me."
"But now, these nine mountains stand out from the crowd, displayed before me..."
Mo Yuan's eyes were bright and piercing, and his scarlet vertical pupils gave him a touch of divine might and domineering aura. He stood atop Qilin Cliff, his divine sense condensing into nine runes, with Heavenly Dao divine patterns flowing on them.
The next instant, the nine runes flew out in all directions and then merged into the nine mountains.
"The nine mountains can form the Nine Fields system, which consists of four cardinal points, four intermediate points, and a frontier representing expansion. The four cardinal points are Yaoguang Peak, Chensu Peak, Ziyuan Mountain, and Xuanqiong Mountain. The four intermediate points are Yinghuo Mountain, Qiming Peak, Changgeng Mountain, and Xiyou Mountain. The ninth field is Zhenxing Mountain."
"Nine mountains surround Qilin Cliff, forming an imposing and unbreakable force. At that time, I can use these nine mountains as a foundation, combine the power of the stars, the auspiciousness of the Qilin, and the power of the earth's veins, and then the formation that shrouds Qilin Cliff will be born."
Mo Yuan was methodical in his work, and every step he took was purposeful.
In the inheritance of the Primordial Qilin, there are many great formations that can only be used by those who reach the Golden Immortal realm. If Mo Yuan uses the power of Qilin Cliff and the earth veins as the foundation, and then refers to those great formations in this inheritance, then he may be able to create the Qilin Cliff formation.
This formation was called the Nine Mountains Returning to Origin and Facing the Unicorn Formation by Mo Yuan.
