Chapter 103 Formation
Jaeger left the yard and found that many people, like him, were walking out of their respective residences and flying towards the mission hall.
These people are guests of the City Lord's Mansion. Like Jeger, they have received urgent tasks.
Jeger rushed towards the mission hall and met Zhao Yicheng on the way.
Jiege's eyes lit up and he quickly flew over: "Zhao Zhubu!"
Zhao Yicheng was rushing to the mission hall. When he heard Jeger's voice, he turned around.
"Qiao Keqing."
Jie Ge immediately asked: "Zhao Zhubu, I just received an urgent task. Miss Yu is in trouble? How is it possible? What happened?"
As the chief clerk of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Yicheng learned the news faster than Jegg and knew more. Upon hearing this, he sighed.
"A few days ago, a new vein of divine stone was discovered in Luoxia Mountain. Miss Yu led the powerful gods of the Ram Corps to fight for it, but she fell into an ambush set by Tianhuo City. It turned out that they had known that there was a vein of divine stone in Luoxia Mountain, but did not announce the news immediately. Instead, they arranged a powerful formation in advance. When Miss Yu arrived, she was trapped in the formation and could not escape."
"Formation? Miss Yu is an upper-level deity, and a peak powerhouse among them. What kind of formation is so powerful? Even she can't break it? Zhao Zhubu, I haven't seen any information in the City Lord's Mansion about such a powerful formation master in Tianhuo City." Jeger was puzzled.
It is very difficult to trap the powerful upper celestial beings with a formation, because they can perform space collapse. Even if they are trapped in the formation, they can use the power of space collapse to break the formation.
When Qin Meng "Qin Yu" was studying formations in the divine realm of the Lin Meng Universe, a powerful upper celestial being used this method to break his painstakingly arranged fourth-level formation. Finally, he had an epiphany in the battle and arranged a "formation space", successfully trapping the upper celestial being.
The so-called formation space refers to the arrangement of a formation with complete space laws. In such a formation, even if the upper gods perform space collapse, they cannot break it. Only the powerful gods who have fully mastered the space laws can escape from the formation.
There are nine levels of formations in the Lin Meng universe. Qin Yu's "formation space" is a ninth-level formation, and the craftsman god Che Houyuan's formation attainment has reached the eighth level. The eighth-level formation already contains some of the power of the law of space, but it is still incomplete. Che Houyuan is only an upper-level god and has not fully mastered the law of space, so he cannot reach the realm of the ninth-level formation.
Although Qin Yu was only a lower-level god at the time, he was able to set up a "formation space" in the Linmeng Universe because of the power of the new cosmic space laws he created.
"In order to trap the upper gods, even if it is not a ninth-level formation, it must be at least an eighth-level formation. Does Tianhuo City have a formation master comparable to Che Houyuan?" Jeger couldn't believe it.
If Tianhuo City had such a powerful formation, wouldn’t it have been used before?
Zhao Yicheng said helplessly: "I am also very surprised. I don't know where such a powerful formation came from in Tianhuo City. However, it is absolutely true that Miss Yu was trapped by the formation, because this has been confirmed by the Lord of the City."
Jeger frowned. The spiritual awareness of a powerful God King can cover the entire God Realm. Since the Lord of Gongyang City has confirmed it, it cannot be false.
He couldn't help but feel distressed. He wanted the reward for this mission, but he didn't know much about formations.
The formation is complex and mysterious, and it is impossible to achieve great success in a short period of time.
Qin Yu had many formation scrolls left behind by Che Houyuan, and he spent hundreds of thousands of years meditating in an accelerated time environment before he reached the fourth level of formation. In the end, he relied on the spatial power of the new universe to arrange the "formation space".
Jeger was very self-aware. Even if he started to comprehend the formation now, not to mention that he did not have so many formation scrolls, even if he did, it would be impossible for him to reach the level of the eighth-level formation in a short time.
"How to do?"
Jager thought hard.
"Formation, formation, ah!"
Jage's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of someone who might be able to help.
At the same time, in a quiet courtyard inside the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man in white was standing. The man had an upright posture and an extraordinary bearing. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance with a frown on his face, as if clouds of worry were gathering.
He is the strongest man in Gongyang City, the God King "Gongyang Tenglong".
"whoosh"
A cold-blooded young man in black fell from the sky and appeared behind Gong Yang Tenglong, saying respectfully: "Master, Master Liu Yun has agreed to take action."
Gong Yang Tenglong's worry cloud on his face slightly dissipated: "That's good. I hope Liu Yun can find a way to break the formation."
Master Liu Yun, the most outstanding weapon refiner in Gongyang City.
Those who are good at formations are not necessarily weapon refiners, but top weapon refiners are definitely good at formations.
Because there is a most critical process in refining equipment - awakening the spirit.
The refining of a device is mainly divided into three steps. The first step is to create the device embryo, the second step is quenching, and the third step is to awaken the spirit.
The first two steps are the basis, while awakening the spirit is the key to truly determining the level of the refined magic weapon.
The quality of awakening the spirit depends entirely on the weapon refiner's formation skills.
Attaching the formation to the "weapon" allows the weapon to form an organic whole, which can perfectly control the energy of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, thunder and lightning, etc., so that the weapon can communicate with heaven and earth and undergo essential changes. This is awakening the spirit.
Once a weapon is awakened, its final grade is determined.
After being awakened, the weapon will become a complete whole, its properties will be more obvious, and even special effects will appear!
Why is the weapon refining level of the God of Linmeng Universe, Che Houyuan, far superior to others? It is because he is the only one in the Linmeng Universe who can arrange the seventh-level and eighth-level formations. Apart from him, even the other two great weapon refining masters, Ou Yezi and Duanmu Feng, can only arrange the sixth-level formation at most.
Master Liu Yun is a master of weapon refining, and his own formation skills are also extremely outstanding. In Gongyang City, if the Lord of Gongyang City does not take action, Liu Yun is the person most likely to break the formation and rescue Gongyang Yu.
The cold-blooded young man in black had no sign of relief on his face, and said worriedly, "Master, the strange formation in Skyfire City can even trap Junior Sister. I'm worried that Master Liu Yun can't break it either. Should we go to Shengjin Mountain for help?"
Gongyang City is a city under the jurisdiction of "Dongji Holy Golden Mountain". Dongji Holy Golden Mountain has a long history and has existed since the birth of the God Realm. The master of Dongji Holy Golden Mountain is one of the Eight Holy Emperors. Although the power of the Eight Holy Emperors is far less than when the God Realm was first born, they are still extremely powerful, and there are some strong people who are good at formations.
There is a teleportation array between Gongyang City and Shengjin Mountain, so it doesn’t take long to travel back and forth.
The Lord of Gongyang City said: "I have reported to the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor has ordered Master Gu Yunhong to come."
Hearing that Master Gu Yunhong was coming, the cold-blooded young man's face lit up with joy.
Gu Yunhong is a famous formation master under Dongji Shengjinshan. The only one under Dongji Shengjinshan whose formation is stronger than his is the God King.
“With Master Gu Yunhong’s help, he will definitely be able to break the formation of Tianhuo City.” Hope rose in the heart of the cold-blooded young man.
If Gu Yunhong can't break it, then no one below the God King of the Holy Golden Mountain of the East can break the formation of the Sky Fire City.
The Lord of Gongyang City said: "Gu Yunhong has not arrived yet. Since Liu Yun is willing to take action, let him try first. If he can break the formation, it would be the best."
"Yes."
"Also, you brothers and the guests from the outer palaces who have accepted the mission, hurry to Luoxia Mountain as soon as possible. There are many powerful gods sent by Tianhuo City. If Liu Yun or Gu Yunhong succeed in breaking the formation, they will definitely not give up. A fight is inevitable. If--"
The Lord of Gongyang City paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If even Gu Yunhong can't break the formation, then I can only do it myself."
Gong Yangyu is his daughter, and the most talented among all his children. It is impossible for him to just watch and do nothing.
If there was really no other way in the end, he would have to break the tacit understanding between the powerful gods on both sides not to take action.
With the powerful God King's understanding of the laws of space, he can easily break the formation of Tianhuo City.
The cold-blooded young man felt nervous when he heard this. Once the Lord of Gongyang City took action, the Lord of Tianhuo City would certainly take action as well, and then it would most likely be an all-out war between the two cities.
"Yes, disciple, go and prepare now."
"Go."
The cold-blooded young man left quickly.
The Lord of Gongyang City was still standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distant sky, which was the direction of Luoxia Mountain.
The news that City Lord Gongyang's elite disciples and Master Liu Yun were heading to Luoxia Mountain spread quickly in the City Lord's Mansion. After hearing the news, many guests immediately accepted emergency tasks and followed them to Luoxia Mountain.
"Hurry, Master Liu Yun will definitely be able to break the Skyfire City's formation. There will definitely be a big battle then. If we follow him, maybe we can get some credit points."
The guest officials called their friends and went to Luoxia Mountain in groups.
Jiege had only been a guest official for a few days and did not know the other guests, and no one called him.
However, after he arrived at the mission hall, he soon learned the news.
"Master Liu Yun is taking action? That's good. If he can break the formation, a melee will probably break out, which is a good opportunity to gain merit points!"
Jeger was excited and also flew towards Luoxia Mountain.
Luoxia Mountain is located to the west of Gongyang City, right in the middle of the jurisdiction of Gongyang City and Tianhuo City.
After two days of flying, Jaeger finally saw the huge mountains in the distance.
There are many red ancient trees growing on the mountain range, stretching out like a sunset glow, hence the name Luoxia Mountain.
In the center of Luoxia Mountain, there is a foggy area that covers an area of several miles in radius.
"Is that where the formation is?"
Jager flew towards the foggy area. Outside the fog, many powerful gods from Gongyang City had gathered.
The strong men were divided into positions according to their strength, with the upper gods in the front, the middle gods in the middle, and the lower gods at the end.
This time, there were a total of six upper celestial gods from Gongyang City who came to Luoxia Mountain. The commanders of the other two legions besides Gongyang Yu were all here, as well as the three most outstanding disciples of Gongyang City Lord and Master Liu Yun.
Although Lord Gongyang has many children and disciples, only four of them have reached the level of upper celestial gods.
The number of gods in the middle part is much larger than that in the upper part, nearly a hundred in total, more than half of whom are middle-level gods from the three legions, and the rest are guests of the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the lower gods, there are even more.
Jaeger fell to the ground and stood with other guests from the central gods.
A central god from one of the three legions saw Jeger and walked towards him.
He looked at Jig's appearance with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He did not recognize Jig.
The powerful gods in the City Lord's Mansion have all met each other several times. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they all know that there is such a person.
Unfortunately, Jegg had only been a guest official for a few days, and most people in the City Lord's Mansion did not know him.
However, the middle god of the legion sensed the aura of the guest token on Jeger, so he no longer doubted it. "This guest, Master Liu Yun is breaking the formation. Others are not allowed to disturb him. All actions must be under the command of the upper gods. If you act without authorization, you will be treated as a spy. Be sure to pay attention." The middle god reminded.
"I see." said Jaeger.
The central god nodded and returned to the team of central gods in the legion.
Jeger observed the six upper gods in the front. After reading the information given by Zhao Yicheng, he quickly recognized the identities of these six people.
The commanders of the two legions were a man and a woman, one wearing blue armor and the other wearing green armor, looking very majestic.
The three disciples of Gongyang City Lord are the eldest disciple, the third disciple and the sixth disciple.
The eldest disciple was named Zuo Guansheng, a young man dressed in black with a cold face.
The third disciple was a girl with two pigtails. She was short and looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She was holding a string of candied haws in her hand.
However, the age of a powerful god cannot be judged by appearance. Luo Xiaorong, the third disciple of Gongyang City, has actually lived for billions of years.
The sixth disciple was a man dressed as a scholar named Lin Shu. He wore a white scarf on his head and fanned a paper fan in his hand.
At this moment, the five upper-level gods were protecting a burly bald old man.
The bald old man was none other than Master Liu Yun, Gongyang City’s number one weapon refiner.
Master Liu Yun stared intently at the fog in front of him without saying a word.
Zuo Guansheng and other upper gods looked at each other. They all wanted to know whether Master Liu Yun was confident of breaking the formation, but Liu Yun did not speak, so they did not dare to disturb him.
In terms of strength, they are all superior to Liu Yun, but when it comes to formations, they know almost nothing and cannot compare with Liu Yun.
After a while, Liu Yun let out a sigh of relief.
Zuo Guansheng and others noticed the movement and looked over immediately.
Zuo Guansheng asked: "Master Liu Yun, what do you think? Is there any way to break the formation?"
Master Liu Yun shook his head and frowned: "This formation is very strange."
When these words were spoken, Zuo Guansheng and the others all felt uneasy and had a bad feeling.
Master Liu Yun continued, "This mist is a sixth-level maze. If it was just a sixth-level formation, I could break it, but it is definitely not that simple, because a simple sixth-level formation can only trap the middle-level gods, not the upper-level gods."
Zuo Guansheng and others all nodded.
The upper gods have the ability to cause the collapse of space. Even if they know nothing about formations, as long as they keep using the collapse of space and attack the space within the formation bit by bit until they find and destroy the base of the formation, they can break the formation.
This is a stupid method, but it works.
Most of the upper gods are not very good at fighting formations, so they break the formations this way.
Of course, if you are good at formations, you can directly find the base of the formation, which will naturally be easier.
“If it was just a sixth-level formation, Miss Yu could break out of it by spending some time, but Miss Yu was trapped, which means that there are stronger formations among this sixth-level formation.” Master Liu Yun said.
"And there are formations?"
"Yes, setting up multiple formations at the same time is a common method used by formation masters. I estimate that this sixth-level formation is only the outermost formation. There are also seventh-level and even eighth-level formations inside. The one that can trap the upper gods is most likely an eighth-level formation."
Master Liu Yun looked solemn, looking at Zuo Guansheng and the others, and said helplessly: "I can try to break this level 6 maze, but I can't do anything about the level 8 formation."
Liu Yun's own formation level is only level six. If he can set up an eight-level formation, then he will not be a weapon refining master, but a weapon refining grandmaster.
"Master, please break the outer maze first." Zuo Guansheng bowed.
No matter what, let’s break the formation first.
"It seems that we have to rely on Master Gu Yunhong." Zuo Guansheng thought to himself.
Gu Yunhong's formation level is higher than Liu Yun's.
"Then I will go and break the formation. The powerful gods from the upper part of Tianhuo City are probably in the formation and may use the advantages of the formation to attack me. I hope you can help me protect the law." Liu Yun said.
"No problem." Zuo Guansheng looked at his two junior brothers and sisters.
"Third Junior Sister, Sixth Junior Brother, come with me and follow Master Liu Yun to break the formation."
"Yes, senior brother." Luo Xiaorong and Lin Shu said in unison.
Zuo Guansheng looked at the two legion commanders again.
"I'll trouble you two generals with what's going on outside."
The two legion commanders clasped their fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
Zuo Guansheng nodded: "Master Liu Yun, let's enter the formation."
"it is good."
The four powerful upper gods entered the fog and were swallowed up by it in the blink of an eye.
Jeger watched from afar, hoping that Liu Yun could successfully break the formation, but he was not optimistic.
"I heard that Master Liu Yun spends a long time refining weapons each time. It is estimated that his formation level is no more than level six. I don't think he can save Miss Yu." Jeger thought to himself.
The formation becomes increasingly complex from level one to level six. When a refiner activates his spirit, if he wants to engrave a level six formation on the embryo, it will take a very long time and consume an astonishing amount of energy and effort.
Therefore, each time a master refiner refines a weapon, it may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
But when it comes to the seventh level formation and above, things start to be simplified, and the time to set up the formation and activate the spirit is greatly shortened, so the refiner's formation level can be roughly inferred by the time it takes to refine the weapon.
“I wonder if there are any similarities between the formation of this divine world and the magic formation of the Panlong Universe.” Jager pondered.
When he heard in the City Lord's Mansion that Miss Yu was trapped in a formation, he thought of the magic formation of the Panlong Universe.
In the Panlong Universe, the person who has done the most in-depth research on magic arrays is the Seven-Star Demon "Brele".
Like Auf, Breler is a member of the Bula tribe. He has devoted himself to the study of magic circles for billions of years. The "Samsara Battle Array" he studied played an indispensable role in the fact that Hell was able to prevent Heaven from winning ten consecutive victories on the plane battlefield. Auf was also inspired by the "Samsara Battle Array" when he was able to finally perfect "Transcendence of Reincarnation".
Jaeger originally wanted to ask the main god's clone in the Panlong Universe to find Breler and let him try to break the formation.
Although Brel cannot come to the divine realm, the souls of the original Jaeger and his other avatars are one, and the situation of the formation can be conveyed to Brel through the avatars.
However, looking at the current situation, Jegg himself has to follow the arrangements and cannot observe the situation of the formation at will, let alone tell Breler.
In that case, he is not in a hurry and will wait and see how the situation develops.
The powerful gods of Gongyang City are waiting outside the fog.
Not long after, the fog suddenly surged violently, as if a fierce battle was taking place inside, and then a little blood appeared in the pure white fog.
At first it was just a small dot, and then it quickly spread out, like blood dye falling into clear water. Soon, the white mist turned into blood mist, emitting a terrifying aura that chose its prey.
"what happened?"
The powerful gods outside the blood mist were shocked. It was obvious that the change in the mist was not a good thing.
Everyone looked at the generals of the two legions. At this moment, Gongyang City was headed by two generals, and everyone was looking at what arrangements they had.
The two generals were also very troubled. They were not good at battle tactics and didn't know what this change meant.
"Did something happen to Master Liu Yun and the others?" the female general asked in confusion.
"Impossible, there are four upper gods." The male general shook his head.
"What should we do now?" asked the female general.
The male general frowned and sighed, obviously unable to make up his mind.
At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded.
"This is not a maze, but a mixed formation. Liu Yun and the others are trapped by the formation."
As the words came out, a handsome young man in a gold-embroidered robe fell from the sky and appeared in front of the two generals.
Next to the handsome young man, there was an old man wearing simple gray clothes.
"Master Gu Yunhong! Steward Wu!"
The handsome young man was none other than Gu Yunhong, the formation master from Shengjin Mountain, and the old man in gray was the steward of the inner court of the City Lord’s Mansion. Although he was just a steward, he also had the strength of an upper-level god, and had followed City Lord Gongyang for many years, so he held a very high status.
The two generals were overjoyed to see Gu Yunhong and Butler Wu arrive.
The female general asked, "Master Gu, what happened inside? Can you break this formation?"
Gu Yunhong looked at the blood mist in front of him with a solemn expression.
"There are roughly three ways to arrange formations. One is a single formation, where only one formation is arranged in one place."
"The second type is multiple formations. Outside the important area, multiple formations are set up. If one formation is broken, there are still other formations."
"The third type is the mixed formation. The mixed formation also has multiple formations, but the difference between it and the multiple formations is that the formations in the multiple formations do not overlap and are clearly separated, while all the formations in the mixed formation complement each other, and they influence each other."
"This blood mist in front of me is at least a mixture of a sixth-level maze and a seventh-level killing formation. A simple sixth-level formation would not be difficult for Liu Yun, but if a seventh-level killing formation is added, Liu Yun will be helpless."
