Dragon's Origin

Seeing the old Daoist so serious, Wang Sheng stopped joking. This was the core inheritance of the old Lord Temple, a Daoist sect even more super than super sects, so it shouldn't be taken lightly.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Wang Sheng also became serious. He stood up, wanting to go and investigate the place.

But when he saw the strange look in the old Daoist's eyes, Wang Sheng realized that he seemed to be a bit presumptuous. Without proving that he could handle formations lower than that kind of formation, this place, which concerned the core inheritance of the Daoist sect, might not even be truly known by many of the temple masters. How could Wang Sheng, an outsider, just go there directly?

Smiling sheepishly, Wang Sheng suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but ask, "Such a powerful formation, what is the source of its power? It can't be that your old Lord Temple has had hundreds of experts continuously inputting spiritual Qi for generations, right?"

"It's not just the underground palace you found that has a ground fire vein." The old Daoist retorted to Wang Sheng, annoyed, "In fact, many places have them. Do you really think that the formations in the core of the Thousand绝之地 still work after so many years because there are experts alive inputting spiritual Qi?"

"No wonder you wanted to ask me about walking on the ground fire vein." Wang Sheng pointed at the old Daoist, "Not honest, you were waiting for me here."

Although the two could be considered friends despite their age difference, they would sometimes involuntarily consider their own side. People are like that, which is understandable. Moreover, the old Daoist didn't want his method for free, but agreed to his conditions, so there was even less of a problem.

"Does your 'Line' character formula really have to take so long?" The old Daoist obviously felt that Wang Sheng's need for about an hour for each formation was a bit inefficient, especially since Wang Sheng had to be undisturbed when using the 'Line' character formula, which made people feel that this 'Line' character formula was as useless as chicken ribs.

"No way." Wang Sheng spread his hands, indicating that he had no better idea. "Firstly, I haven't seen many formations, and secondly, I don't understand formations at all. I can only rely on luck to succeed in the experiments time after time. There's no way to be faster."

After speaking, Wang Sheng was afraid that the old Daoist would misunderstand, so he added an explanation, "My understanding of the 'Line' character formula is mainly for cultivation advancement, and I'm not thinking about how to use it in formations. So, it's enough for me to understand and familiarize myself with it a little more. There's no need to study it in depth."

Wang Sheng, who came from Earth, understood the principle that "life is limited, but knowledge is unlimited" better than anyone else. How much professional knowledge is there in the various industries on Earth? It is impossible for one person to master all of them.

Although the special forces training allowed Wang Sheng to master many skills, the use of various weapons, the use of various vehicles and carriers, various camouflage techniques, various wild survival techniques, and so on, Wang Sheng only learned the usage and would not delve into the various principles.

When Wang Sheng learned about guns in the army, did he also have to learn about gun manufacturing, steelmaking, high-precision machine tool design, the chemical principles of various gun ammunition gunpowder, the principles of various primers, the aerodynamics of various bullets in the air, metal thermal fatigue, rifling rotation statics and dynamics, and other principles?

If he really wanted to learn these things, Wang Sheng would not be able to complete his training in a few years, and he would not be able to leave the military camp for decades. Therefore, Wang Sheng only needed to know the final usage, and the intermediate process could be ignored. The same was true for the 'Line' character formula. Wang Sheng only needed to know how to use it, and he didn't need to know the detailed principles.

"Such efficiency is too low." The old Daoist understood Wang Sheng's meaning, and he didn't mean to urge Wang Sheng in any way, but just wanted to help Wang Sheng. "How about this, I'll let those little Daoists who major in formations explain the most basic things about formations to you? I believe it will be more helpful for you to understand the 'Line' character formula."

"The most basic things, that's no problem." Wang Sheng thanked the old Daoist. Learning to shoot also requires knowing the principle of three points and one line, and also knowing the influencing factors such as wind resistance, gravity, temperature, and humidity. Learning some basic principles is only beneficial to understanding and using the 'Line' character formula, and there is no harm.

The old Daoist acted quickly, and soon gathered the four or five middle-aged Daoists from yesterday and gave them the task of giving Wang Sheng a crash course on formations.

It was really a crash course. After Wang Sheng heard about the gradual steps they needed to take to practice formations, Wang Sheng decided to only learn the most basic principles and the most basic techniques, and not to learn anything else.

The basic principle, in the final analysis, is still the utilization of spiritual Qi energy, using some ingenious formation designs to achieve various functions. And the most basic functions that can be achieved include binding, protection, blocking, shielding, concealing, extracting, blinding, reflecting, condensing, blowing, impact, stabbing, grinding, and so on. Any formation, no matter how complex, can eventually be attributed to the fusion of these basic formation elements.

Wang Sheng quickly understood these things, and he even regretted not knowing these things earlier. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have had to try complex formations one by one, but should have explored these basic functions one by one with the 'Line' character formula. As long as he could skillfully master these basic functions, then even when facing complex formations, there would be order to follow, and Wang Sheng wouldn't have to be as clueless as he is now, and he would have to remember and simulate all the fluctuations and changes of the entire formation.

For each basic function, Wang Sheng asked several middle-aged Daoists to demonstrate it to him several times. Each time, Wang Sheng had to explore it with the 'Line' character formula for a long time in order to record all these basic fluctuations. This learning lasted for half a month before he could be considered to have understood each basic technique.

Of course, Wang Sheng only recorded all the formation fluctuations of these basic techniques, and did not completely understand the principles of these formations.

During the half-month period, the old Daoist only came to Wang Sheng once, and it seemed that he was busy with something. Wang Sheng didn't think much about it and comprehended on his own. After learning the basic techniques, he began to learn the combination of two.

Originally, Wang Sheng only asked these middle-aged Daoists to teach him the basic techniques, but since no one was managing him, Wang Sheng simply exchanged a few demon beast skins for the middle-aged Daoists to re-experiment with the basic techniques of the two-by-two combination formation according to his requirements, so that Wang Sheng could understand more thoroughly.

This lasted for another ten days before the old Daoist finally appeared in front of Wang Sheng again.

"What happened?" Wang Sheng asked in confusion. The old Daoist looked very impatient. Could it be that something major happened that the old Daoist couldn't handle?

"A trivial matter!" It would have been better if Wang Sheng hadn't asked. As soon as Wang Sheng asked, the old Daoist immediately cursed, "Isn't it just those dog-shit power struggles? What I hate most about them is this, it's boring!"
