C53 Ready

After Uncle Long left, Xiao Zhi did not immediately return to the Heaven Gate. Instead, he sat on the ground and began to carefully study the 'sky-curtain formation' and the 'Gossypium hirsutum Maxim'.

The formations didn't have a precise hierarchy system, because formations were very mysterious. Different from Secret Skills, if a simple and ordinary formation was in the hands of a true formation master, they would only need to change it in the slightest to make it endlessly powerful.

Thus, in a certain sense, there was no difference in strength between formations. There was only a difference in the comprehension of formations by the person who laid them. The most important thing is to be able to 'look' at it. One must know that it is not easy to draw a Diagram Array, as it involves the power of a person's soul. If the cultivators with weaker soul powers were to rashly look at the complicated array diagrams, they might be counterattacked, and the ones that were serious would directly turn into idiots.

However, secret skills were different. They were divided into three different levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Even though the Human Level is the most average, it's actually only an Earth Level or Heaven Level. It was because many Secret Skills could not even be ranked among these ranks. A secret art depended on a person's hard work and comprehension of it. Regardless of how powerful a secret art was, as long as a master teacher taught it, it was possible to master it.

Xiao Zhi's expression was gloomy, his index finger continued to draw on the ground, following his movements, threads of Dao power crisscrossed across. Even though his talent was not bad, and even more so because of Uncle Long's' Soul Immersion Law ', he had copied his own understanding of formations to the Xiao Zhi, it wouldn't be so simple if he really had to make a move.

It was just like an ordinary person seeing a giant tree that was over a hundred meters tall. Although he knew how to climb, it was extremely difficult for him to do so. This was the difference between understanding one thing and doing another.

When the sky started turning white, Xiao Zhi let out a long sigh of relief. He sent a surge of Dao energy into a ten feet wide formation below him. Instantly, a transparent iris appeared in front of Xiao Zhi. It was completely condensed from Dao Energy, and looked like the toughest wall.

This was one of the two diagrams obtained by the Xiao Zhi — — sky-curtain formation.

"Hah!"

Xiao Zhi bellowed and threw a punch at it. Immediately, it released a muffled sound, causing Xiao Zhi's body to tremble. Seeing that the iris did not directly shatter, only a burst of light appeared, and because it was only the Dao power left from Xiao Zhi, it could not last long.

Although that punch of his wasn't his full strength, it was still around seventy to eighty percent of his normal attack power. But who would have thought that he did not break it? Instead, he shook himself until his blood began to boil.

"Pah!"

A clear and melodious sound rang in the Xiao Zhi's ears, the formation in front of them instantly crumbled. The Xiao Zhi was not surprised at all by this, because the true arrangement of the array was to rely on the large number of elemental energy stone to provide energy.

"If only there was a condensing array or something like that."

Xiao Zhi muttered in his heart. condensing array could be said to be the most precious array in the entire Douluo Continent. Apart from those who were possessed by some powerful forces, the rest of the people, or it could even be said that the great clans and small sects, simply didn't have the qualifications to own them.

The value of the formation diagram of the 'condensing array' could not be compared to anything and could be said to be priceless.

It was said that if a formation master were to personally lay down the 'condensing array', it would be able to turn an ordinary mountain into a sacred place filled with spirit energy. The effect could make an ordinary place's elemental energy density be three to ten times higher than an ordinary place.

Cultivators relied on the natural energies of the world to cultivate.

Some of the so-called 'sacred training grounds' referred to the density of the natural elemental energy within the world.

Besides that, he could only rely on a large number of elemental energy stone. It was just that elemental energy stone were too precious and could not be measured with money in the ordinary world. Although there was a certain amount of elemental energy stone, it was all in the hands of some large sects. For example, the Heaven Gate had the elemental energy stone lode.

However, this was an extravagant method. Ordinary people treated elemental energy stone as a type of treasure, not an item used for cultivation.

Xiao Zhi was very clear about all of this. He was still envious of them from the bottom of his heart. If he had the 'condensing array Map', then he could set up a defensive array or a killing array when he was inside the array. If he could set up a 'condensing array Map', then the energy within the array would be able to persist for a long time and exist in the world.

The Xiao Zhi quickly abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind and started to test the 'Gossypium hirsutum Maxim' array formation. The effect was not bad, immediately crushing a half a man tall boulder. Immediately after, Xiao Zhi took out the 'volcanic jade fragment' and began to inscribe the array diagram inside.

This way of doing things would inevitably use two types of Dao-Diagram, giving birth to primary force.

Due to their previous experiences, although these two formations were very complex and profound, they were still very profound in nature. However, it was not difficult for the Xiao Zhi, and the recording was completed very quickly. Thinking that they would have to go through a battle later on, Xiao Zhi put in more effort and only stopped after his soul energy ran out and he had less than 10% of his energy left.

In the end, there were ten jade tablets with the 'sky-curtain formation' engraved on them, and thirty array formations with the 'Gossypium hirsutum Maxim' engraved on them. The battle at Hall of Medicine was still fresh in his mind.

As for its power, the Xiao Zhi did not need to test it out. This was because he had previously recorded the effects of an extremely basic formation within the 'Inscriptions of formations'. Now that the formations were different, the power of the formations would naturally be different as well. Unfortunately, his current cultivation was too low, and his true comprehension of formations was not very deep. Otherwise, as long as he casually changed the formation, he would be able to create an extremely powerful formation.

Xiao Zhi rested for a long time. When the sun rose and a thin layer of mist appeared, he got up and rushed to the Gate of Heaven. Although he did not sleep the whole night, it did not affect the current Xiao Zhi at all.

Very few people would appear in the back of the mountain at this time. But even so, Xiao Zhi still chose a remote corner to return to.

Along the way, many disciples appeared to be in a hurry. These people were disciples of the 38th and 39th generation.

The Xiao Zhi found Wu Bupang effortlessly in the Leisurely Heart Palace. At this moment, Wu Bupang's expression was heavy, and told Gao Zhi that the Sect Leader had gathered all of the elders, as well as the hall masters of the various side hall masters. They were currently discussing matters, and the results would be out soon.

However, there were people who had already known a bit about it.

In the various side chambers, a battle was about to begin.

Not only that, but it was the thirty-eighth generation disciples versus the thirty-ninth generation disciples.

One had to know that this was a generation's difference. Furthermore, the amount of time he had to train in the Heaven Gate trial was several years, perhaps even ten years.

"Thirty-eight generations of disciples versus thirty-nine generations of disciples!"

Gao Zhi frowned, thinking back to yesterday, when Bai Fei had said something unfair.

Indeed, putting everything else aside, just Bai Fei alone was enough to slaughter a large number of disciples from the thirty-nine generations. That was no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

"What's the point?"

Xiao Zhi frowned and whispered in confusion. Although he had expected a great battle, he had not expected such a great battle. He knew very well that if he were to face the disciples of the thirty-nine generations, such as the Hall of Medicine's Mo Yan, he definitely wouldn't even have the ability to escape.

"The survival of the fittest."

It was unknown when Zhu Chaoyun had appeared, but he was accompanied by Dian Xiaole, Gong Xuee, Zhang Ling and other disciples.

"In the pursuit of formation experts, the disciples of the young generation that stand out are the true geniuses."

Zhu Chaoyun did not wait for Xiao Zhi to speak before speaking again. At the same time, he was very calm, "At the same time, it will also resolve the conflicts between the various side halls for a short period of time, allowing the hatred and hatred in their hearts to be released during this battle."

"Although the thirty-eight disciples were chasing and killing thirty-nine disciples of the same generation as the thirty-nine disciples, the number of people who were killing each other is no less than expected." Gong Xuee spoke out, and mentioned that in the last round of such an array, the previous generation of disciples fought even more fiercely, but the new generation of disciples was actually ignored, and did not care at all.

Xiao Zhi frowned, even if that was the case, it would still be unfair to the new generation of disciples.

As if he understood the Xiao Zhi's thoughts, Zhu Chaoyun continued, "The new generation of disciples are free to form teams, and are not separated into side halls."

"That's good."

Xiao Zhi nodded. In that case, he still had the strength to fight.

"What's so good about it? It's like a flock of sheep waiting for a wolf to come eat it." Dian Xiaole curled his lips in disdain.

"You don't have that much confidence?"

Xiao Zhi looked at her and felt that this girl was very strange, even including her dao diagram.

"What does it have to do with you?" Dian Xiaole shot a glance at Xiao Zhi, and thought about this brat's behavior back in the rear mountain. He was filled with depression, and would naturally not give him a good look at this moment.

"Oh right, your dao diagram is really interesting. Shall we study it together?"

Xiao Zhi intimately came to Dian Xiaole's side and chuckled.

Hearing that, Dian Xiaole's beautiful face turned cold, he coldly snorted, but did not say anything.

Xiao Zhi still had more to ask, but Wu Bupang hurriedly stopped him and said softly: "I say, Big Brother, do you have any common sense? How could he just randomly ask about the dao diagram? That is a person's greatest trump card. Although you have seen some of his abilities, he might not necessarily be all of them. " Then, he quickly explained it to the Xiao Zhi.

"Ugh …"

Xiao Zhi rubbed his nose and laughed dryly. He really wasn't clear about this. The dao diagram was different from those powerful secret techniques and array diagrams. This was where a person's true power came from. There were many secrets hidden within, and one needed to understand them personally. Perhaps it was caused by some fortuitous encounters.

The dao diagram was extremely mysterious and powerful. There were also many different kinds. Between heaven and earth, everything could be considered a dao diagram. Like the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the flowing water, the flowers, the fish, the beasts, everything. Each type of power had its own uniqueness.

Although many powerful dao diagrams were listed here. Like dragons, like phoenixes, like Kui, like evil spirits, qilins, and other ancient divine beasts. However, sometimes, it was not always true that the world was unrivalled. It was very possible that an ordinary grass could easily cut it down.

This would depend on the cultivator's comprehension and usage of his own dao diagrams. Because of this, the dao diagram became a cultivator's most important secret, and even the person closest to it would not know about it.

"Junior Sister Xiao Le, there is no need to be so concerned. I think that Xiao Zhi did not do it on purpose."

Gong Xuee took the initiative to smooth things over, causing Dian Xiaole's complexion to improve. Zhu Chaoyun shook his head, feeling very helpless towards Xiao Zhi.

"Master is here."

Suddenly, Wu Bupang called out softly.

Xiao Zhi raised his head and looked over. Indeed, he saw Lu Xian slowly walking over.
