38: Chapter 38: Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Refining Void Grand Formation (Please Follow~) 38: Chapter 38: Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Refining Void Grand Formation (Please Follow~) South of Lichao City, several mountains embraced each other in a circle.

Chenqing Mountain was just one of them.

Xie Xuanyi had always prided himself on assuming the worst intentions of his enemies…

Regarding the yet-to-be-met “Jia Liu” he was about to connect with.

He really found this person somewhat eerie.

The esteemed personage from the Demon Country wanted the finger bone as soon as possible to verify the authenticity of the Bai Ze Secret Realm, yet Jia Liu had taken it upon himself to delay the delivery by three days.

Three days was enough time for many things to happen.

“Is this where we are going to train in formations next?”

Deng Baiyi was holding Jiang Huang, standing at the top of a small hill, somewhat puzzled.

“Indeed.”

Xie Xuanyi stood on the summit of the small hill, a desolate place with few people, but only a few miles from Chenqing Mountain, and within sight of the trading location Jia Liu chose.

This was the best spot to set up the formation!

“The drawing of array patterns is not very difficult.

As long as one can mobilize the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, one can draw array patterns…”

Xie Xuanyi said, “Theoretically, even a Qi Refining Master with the weakest cultivation base can complete the drawing of a large formation!

But the lower the threshold, the harder it is to perfectly complete it!”

“Hence, the number of master array pattern designers is much less than that of Great Practitioners.”

Xie Xuanyi spoke with a profound meaning, “Drawing formations tests patience as well as talent.”

Some large formations are intricately detailed.

They require several days and nights of drawing, without closing one’s eyes…

And there are even more complex formations, requiring the cooperation of dozens of array masters, with construction times measured in years!

From this point of view, drawing formations demands much more of a cultivator’s mental and divine soul than of cultivation!

Over the past few days of interaction.

Xie Xuanyi found that Deng Baiyi’s talent for talisman array patterns was actually much higher than her talent for cultivation…

Once this young lady from Yuzhu Town entered her meditative state, she was unaffected by wind or thunder, a quality that was extremely rare; the two talismans he taught didn’t have much trick to them, it was all about practice makes perfect.

The process of making talismans was actually very tedious.

But Deng Baiyi seemed to find joy in it.

This was also one of the reasons Xie Xuanyi didn’t want Deng Baiyi to follow him in cultivation…

Although he knew some techniques of talismans and array patterns, he often found it hard to maintain focus for long during meditative states.

Most Sword Cultivators were not suitable for setting up formations.

With a sword, be quick, accurate, and ruthless!

Life and death, victory and defeat all happened in an instant!

Xie Xuanyi had a photographic memory since childhood; he had memorized many formation maps and countless talisman patterns, yet he could not calm his mind to cultivate this path.

Fate is fair.

If he picked up the sword, he naturally had to let go of something else.

“Can I… really do it?”

Deng Baiyi was somewhat nervous; she lacked confidence in herself.

From her initial contacts with cultivation to refining primordial energy, it had only been a few dozen days.

According to what Xie Zhen said, the formation that was to be taught next had terrifying power and was considered a forbidden technique…

Could she really manage to draw this?

“I think you can.”

“Drawing formations is a lot like drawing talismans…

If you enjoy drawing talismans, then there’s a good chance you can become an excellent formation master.”

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

He stretched out two fingers, slowly touching them to the tip of Deng Baiyi’s brow.

Her pupils slightly contracted.

With a hum.

A ripple formed in the space swept by the fingertip.

Xie Xuanyi transferred some of his most precious memories…

without any reservations into Deng Baiyi’s sea of divinity.

…

…

[“Xuanyi, apart from your Sword Dao aptitude…

your talent for array patterns and talismans is also quite good.”]

[“Master, Xuanyi is not interested in minor paths and odd techniques; I only want to concentrate on cultivating the Sword Dao.”]

[“The great Dao of the world does not differentiate between left and right.

All methods in the world have no hierarchy.

It’s still early; go memorize all those Daoist scriptures from Lotus Peak.”]

[“Master…”]

The moment his fingertip touched Deng Baiyi’s forehead,

Xie Xuanyi felt a bit dazed.

Memories of the past, fragmented like the tides, surged forth.

He muttered subconsciously, “Master…”

“Master?”

Deng Baiyi’s puzzled voice brought Xie Xuanyi back to reality.

“It’s nothing.”

Xie Xuanyi recovered his wits and looked at the woman before him, her bright eyes and white teeth marred only by a face full of suspicion.

Deng Baiyi asked curiously, “Do you miss your home, your sect?”

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and softly changed the topic, “Have you assimilated the memories I passed on to you?”

“Some of it is profound…”

Deng Baiyi muttered softly, “But I can surprisingly understand it.”

She extended two fingers and slowly gathered Primordial Energy at her fingertips, then carefully drew in the air, the energy dispersing like ink.

Deng Baiyi held her breath, concentrating deeply, and traced the complex and obscure trajectories in the air, as per the memories Xie Xuanyi had transferred…

After silently observing for dozens of breaths, Xie Xuanyi knew he had not misjudged.

Deng Baiyi’s talent for array patterns and talismans was indeed exceptional!

This formation was immensely large, filled with details at every turn.

He had deliberately divided it into several parts…

but Deng Baiyi’s movements did not slow; rather, they grew faster, a sign of being engrossed in formation tracing.

Deng Baiyi’s spirit gradually became as calm as water, and her gaze grew incredibly focused.

The whole process was lengthy.

Xie Xuanyi was patient and simply watched quietly as Deng Baiyi replicated the grand formation…

It lasted half an hour.

The nascent form of the formation was finally established.

The Primordial Energy initially drawn into the void had long since dispersed, but that was not important.

Xie Xuanyi had watched every single line and stroke Deng Baiyi made.

“Is the formation I carved correct?”

Having completed such a cumbersome and large task in one go, Deng Baiyi looked somewhat pale, but her spirit was incredibly high as she nervously looked towards the young man in white across from her.

“There are only two small mistakes.”

Normally not one to praise others, Xie Xuanyi spoke plain truth this time, “For a beginner…

this is already quite impressive.”

Upon receiving this evaluation, Deng Baiyi’s eyes lit up with bright light.

She grinned.

This was the first time she had heard such sincere praise from Xie Zhen.

“What was it called again…

Nine something fire…”

Deng Baiyi rubbed her temples in annoyance, having clearly remembered the trajectory of the grand formation, but frustratingly, the lengthy name of the formation evaded her memory.

Xie Xuanyi laughed.

He looked at the Primordial Energy dispersing in the air and gently said, “It’s called the Nine Luminous Phoenix Fire Refining Void Grand Formation.

The long name is for a reason.”

“Nine Luminous Phoenix Fire Refining Void Grand Formation…”

Deng Baiyi took a deep breath and voiced her inner doubt, “Is this formation as formidable as you mentioned?”

Trans-realm murder, strictly forbidden by Da Chu’s imperial law to be taught!

Xie Xuanyi smiled softly and spoke quietly, “The array patterns you have learned are just a simplified version.

The full scale of the grand formation is about a hundred times this size.”

“A hundred times?”

Deng Baiyi’s complexion turned a bit pale.

“The full power of this grand formation far exceeds your imagination.”

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, “But even just this abridged version is sufficient…

all we need to do is kill a minor Grotto Heaven.”

Deng Baiyi froze, “Wait, kill Grotto Heaven?

You don’t mean a Grotto Heaven Realm cultivator, do you?”

“Hmm…

what else?”

Upon hearing this reply.

Deng Baiyi’s scalp tingled slightly.

She still remembered the pressure the resident official of Fengsui City had imposed on her—

Grotto Heaven Realm!

Wasn’t that even stronger than the resident official!

Xie Xuanyi continued, “Now that you have memorized the array patterns, that’s just the first step.

Over the next three days, you need to set up the complete formation on this mountaintop.

It requires some special materials, all of which I will teach you…”

Deng Baiyi guessed, “The special materials you mentioned, are they Jiang Huang’s hair?”

She looked back at the small creature still asleep.

“Correct.

Besides that, for the position of the formation’s eye, we also need to drop in her essence blood.”

Xie Xuanyi nodded and said, “You don’t need to worry about why, just know…

Jiang Huang’s physique is special, and with her help, we can complete the formation.”
