Chapter 485: Restrictions merge with techniques, improving strength

Min Longyu was naturally not someone famous for nothing.

Under Fu Jiusheng's explanation, Luo Chen gradually understood.

Min Longyu had deep attainments in the seven basic restrictions, and his foundation was extremely solid, which was why he could walk fast and steadily on the path of formations.

The reason he hadn't mentioned these big conceptual basic knowledge to Luo Chen before was mainly because Luo Chen had absolutely no formation foundation at that time.

His understanding of restrictions was only limited to some exploration when he was unlocking the marks of storage bag owners.

Therefore, Min Longyu didn't mention the seven basic restrictions as a big concept, but let him start from copying and depicting.

"Min Longyu is best at mountain restrictions; that's why you see the formations he sets up mostly rely on the power of mountains and rivers," Fu Jiusheng explained eloquently.

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

Thinking back carefully, Fu Jiusheng was really right.

Min Longyu had come all the way, whether it was attacking the Slanting Moon Valley, the chaotic stone formation at Gaoling Plain, or the Seven-Colored Danxia Great Formation, basically, it was all related to mountain restrictions.

"Does that Seven-Colored Danxia Great Formation also take into account cloud restrictions?" Luo Chen asked curiously while listening to the other party's introduction.

Fu Jiusheng stroked his beard and smiled, "It is indeed so; the guardian formation of Danxia Peak is mainly based on mountain restrictions and cloud restrictions, supplemented by the magic treasure flying swords added later, forming brightness restrictions, which is why its power is so huge."

"In addition, like the spiritual sense marks and divine sense marks you mentioned earlier, these all belong to darkness restrictions."

Under Fu Jiusheng's introduction, Luo Chen gradually had a systematic understanding of the so-called seven basic restrictions.

Mountain restrictions, heavy and ancient, imitate the earth and mountains, forming spiritual energy restrictions.

Water restrictions, goodness is like water, walking the path of roundness and softness.

Wind restrictions and cloud restrictions are wind flowing and clouds moving, with thousands of weather, either hard or soft, difficult to grasp.

Anyone who is proficient in one of them and incorporates it into a formation will see their power increase several times.

And the remaining three restrictions—darkness, brightness, and emptiness—are quite special.

Darkness restrictions are formless and qualityless, either borrowing divine sense and ghosts to form restrictions, or walking the flow of energy, and even cause and effect can be involved. Ordinary cultivators mostly know one or two hands, but it is limited to one or two hands. As for being proficient, not many people dare to boast.

Brightness restrictions, as the name suggests, mean showing on the outside, mostly borrowing objects to carry restrictions. This basic restriction covers a wide range, and it is difficult to finish talking about it in a few days and nights.

As for the last emptiness restriction, in Fu Jiusheng's words, it is a space restriction.

Mastering this restriction and integrating it into magic spells and supernatural powers, either shrinking the ground into an inch or having the world in one's sleeve, the most common product of emptiness restrictions is the storage bag.

If integrated into a formation, void movement, teleporting ten thousand miles, crossing a continent, or the four seas, are all easy.

There are even legends of Heavenly Venerables in the Immortal World who contain vast emptiness restrictions in their bodies, creating a world within their bodies.

"These seven basic restrictions are numerous and vast like the sea; almost no one in the cultivation world can master them all."

"From these seven basic restrictions, many schools such as formation masters, seal masters, curse masters, and barrier masters have been derived."

"And because the way of formations is the most compatible with heaven and earth, its power performance is the strongest, and it is also the most practical. So, ordinary cultivators like us default to linking restrictions with formations; in fact, there is a slight difference between the two."

Fu Jiusheng talked eloquently, and he was very excited.

Luo Chen also listened very enthusiastically.

He only thought that restrictions and formations were a mother-son relationship, but he didn't expect that restrictions would involve so many aspects.

Thinking about it now, some of the magic spells he cast, pinching spiritual formulas, mobilizing spiritual power, and forming special spiritual power output methods, were actually another alternative expression of restrictions.

"Listening to your words is better than reading books for ten years!" Luo Chen exclaimed.

Fu Jiusheng laughed dumbly, "I just know a lot of common sense; in fact, my formation talent is very average, far inferior to formation geniuses like Min Longyu."

"It's also very powerful!" Luo Chen exclaimed sincerely.

Fu Jiusheng shook his head with a smile, "This chat has passed without knowing it; don't delay the construction of the Dragon-Trapping Formation."

Luo Chen hummed, "I'll listen to your command; if there's anything you need me to do, just say it!"

Fu Jiusheng pondered for a while.

After a long while, he said: "I originally wanted you to engrave restrictions with spiritual power on the materials and hit them into the formation base. Now that I know you started from unlocking a large number of storage bag marks, it shows that you have a slight foundation in darkness restrictions. In that case..."

"The task of pulling terrestrial Qi and combing heaven and earth spiritual energy will be handed to you!"

If it were before, Luo Chen could still say brazenly, "I learn things very quickly," relying on the system.

But after understanding the breadth and depth of the restriction path,

he had already developed a sense of awe at this moment.

He pursed his dry lips, "Can I do it?"

Fu Jiusheng smiled freely, "It's not that difficult, especially for you with a strong soul foundation. Just listen carefully..."

Danxia Peak.

Where the Luo Tian Sect mountain gate is located.

The remaining Foundation Establishment masters gathered together, all looking at Sima Huiniang, who was in the first seat, with joy.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Sima Huiniang put down the intelligence jade slip sent back by Xing Zonghan.

She smiled brightly.

"Success!"

"The Supreme Elder led people to take down a spirit land with a Tier 3 spirit vein in the Howling Moon Mountain Range."

As soon as these words came out, a cheer erupted in the Huixin Hall.

No one expected that it would really be taken down.

How much time had passed!

It was so smooth!

And that's not all!

Sima Huiniang continued: "The spirit land taken down is far from the front battlefield and very close to Broken Moon Immortal City; from the perspective of safety, it is also an extremely good territory."

Another cheer!

After the cheers, everyone looked at Sima Huiniang with eager eyes.

"Sect Master, when are we moving there?"

"Yes, the spirit land is newly set, it must need a lot of manpower; when can we go over to help?"

"Qian is willing to contribute a meager effort!"

Facing this enthusiastic atmosphere, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but curl her lips.

She roughly understood the thoughts of these people.

The sect has a Tier 3 spirit vein, so naturally, there will be Tier 2 cave dwellings for Foundation Establishment cultivators to practice.

If they go early, they can enjoy it early.

The number of Foundation Establishment masters in the Luo Tian Sect has reached as many as twenty-five over the years.

With such a huge number, relying on renting Tier 2 cave dwellings in Tianlan Immortal City can no longer satisfy them.

Every year, most of the wealth of the Luo Tian Sect Foundation Establishment masters has to be spent on cave dwelling rent.

Especially after Luo Chen formed his core, most of the sect's income had to be used to support Luo Chen, and the remaining benefits for these middle-level forces were not much.

If there were free Tier 2 cave dwellings, everyone would save on rent, and their hands would instantly become more affluent.

However!

Understanding them is one thing.

But moving the entire sect is another matter!

First of all, Danxia Peak has been managed for a long time, and all the businesses of the Luo Tian Sect are basically radiated with Danxia Peak as the center.

Abandoning it directly is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, people must be left here.

Secondly, Luo Chen mentioned that the spirit land is newly set and there are many potential threats. In this case, it is not suitable to send all the power of the Luo Tian Sect over.

Otherwise, if they are not careful and are wiped out,

that would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

Finally!

Sima Huiniang cast her gaze toward Min Longyu, who was also excited.

"Has the Danxia Spirit-Taking Formation been set up?"

Min Longyu nodded hurriedly, "I combined the Heavenly Craft Spirit-Taking Formation and the Incense Spirit-Taking Formation to build this Danxia Spirit-Taking Formation according to local conditions; within ten years, I can nurture the spirit vein grade here to the Tier 2 level."

"In that case, you go first; that side needs you."

Min Longyu had no objections.

Others were a bit puzzled.

But after Sima Huiniang explained, they had to suppress the urgency in their hearts.

There will be plenty of time in the future, no need to rush.

The cave dwellings at Snow Wolf Terrace haven't been planned yet; if they go now, they will just wait in vain.

Stay here honestly first and do their part.

Besides, the Sect Master also said that side is very short of materials and needs them to raise them from the rear.

"Sect Master, when do I set off?" Min Longyu asked impatiently.

Sima Huiniang already had a plan and said calmly and elegantly: "You pick five sect Foundation Establishment masters who have no important tasks to go with you first. Also, leave your apprentice at Danxia Peak; this side still needs a formation master to look after it."

"Hmm, hmm."

Min Longyu nodded, his gaze falling on this batch of newly promoted Foundation Establishment masters in the hall.

Ten days later.

A group of sixteen people from the Luo Tian Sect, led by Min Longyu, arrived at Snow Wolf Terrace.

Just as they landed, Chu Kui came out to greet them.

Min Longyu didn't have time to catch up before his gaze was instantly attracted by the figure floating above the mountains.

"That is... the Supreme Elder?"

Chu Kui nodded with a smile.

Min Longyu watched for a while, then revealed a look of surprise.

"Is the Supreme Elder pulling terrestrial Qi and combing the flow of heaven and earth spiritual energy?"

Chu Kui shrugged, "I don't understand these things; you come with me first, Elder Fu and the others have been waiting for you for a long time."

Above the sky,

Luo Chen's eyes were half-open and half-closed, seemingly without focus.

But his massive spiritual sense had been released to the fullest, covering a range.

After perceiving the general laws of the earth vein trend and spiritual energy flow,

he lifted his hands virtually and cast one spiritual formula after another.

With himself as the center and spiritual power as the guide, he manipulated the heaven and earth spiritual energy to shrink inward, finally hoarding it inside the sect's spirit land.

He had been doing this kind of work for a while.

Whether it was the Luo Tian Sect or the other families, as long as they looked up recently, they could see Luo Chen's figure standing in the sky most of the time.

Whenever he made a move, the formless and qualityless spiritual energy would be manipulated by him, turning into a spiritual energy storm, scraping across several mountains nearby.

Such mysterious means, even though they had seen it no fewer than several times, were still amazing to see every time.

"Darkness restrictions are mysterious and obscure, difficult to master, but their power is indeed unfathomable."

"Mastering wandering heaven and earth spiritual energy is clearly a means that only Nascent Soul True Persons can perform, but with the help of the Dragon-Trapping Formation and darkness restrictions, I can perform simple manipulation."

"Although it cannot be used to fight the enemy, it is enough to change its flow direction so that spiritual energy does not leak out, thus benefiting living beings outside the sect."

"Can this kind of restriction be used in my magic spell casting?"

After casting darkness restrictions for many days, Luo Chen had a preliminary understanding of this type of restriction.

Vaguely, he felt that this kind of restriction could be integrated with magic spells.

Magic spells have magnificent power, not inferior to magic treasure attack intensity.

With the ability of a Jin Dan cultivator, with more practice, they can often master several profound magic spells.

However, few use this to fight the enemy.

Apart from the old problems mentioned earlier, another problem is that the traces of magic spell casting are too obvious, and the speed is too slow.

Luo Chen has a proficiency panel, and most magic spells can be cast instantly or quickly.

But he couldn't solve the problem of heavy traces before.

Like that Innate One-Qi Great Handprint, its power is extremely extraordinary!

But after Luo Chen formed his core, he cast it several times on cultivators of the same rank, and the effect could only be said to be average.

It's too obvious!

The enemy is too easy to be prepared!

At the Jin Dan ceremony, it was broken by Hong Ling's sword.

In the battle of Dream-Return Ridge, the He family ancestor used divine sense as perception to detect and dodge in advance.

Even that Tier 3 demon wolf king was prepared, made a counterattack, and even broke Luo Chen's.

If he hadn't attached Wither-Prosper Fire to it, it would have been difficult to achieve such thunderous results.

"If I integrate darkness restrictions into such magic spells, not only will it be instant and fast when cast, but it can also hide the movement, thunderously erupting silently, defeating the enemy and winning!"

This thought lingered in Luo Chen's heart.

Making him eager to move recently.

The reason for this thought actually came from Di Wuqi.

The other party's trump card was called Green Duckweed Ghost Wind.

This move was not only extremely powerful but also very hidden, and even Jin Dan cultivators found it difficult to detect.

It is truly a killer move for sneak attacks!

Luo Chen also wanted to have such a killer move for emergencies.

His three magic treasures, the Profound Fire Sword and the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel, were both for frontal strong attacks.

The Soul-Breaking Nail effect was very unique and had miraculous effects when caught off guard.

However, the grade of this treasure was too low, and it was easy to be deflected, making it difficult to succeed.

Therefore, Luo Chen set his sights on the magic spells he was most proficient in.

The Innate One-Qi Great Handprint was just an example.

The one he most wanted to put into action was actually another Tier 3 magic spell—Mirror Flower, Water Moon!

This spell, with the supporting Tier 2 magic spells already at the Great Perfection level, had already been promoted to the perfect level.

It could barely be used to fight the enemy.

And this spell was somewhat special in classification, belonging to illusion, biased toward soul type, and also had the effect of confusing the five senses.

Even if it was broken and backfired, it wouldn't hurt himself excessively like the Soul-Stunning Technique.

If this illusion could be launched silently, then Luo Chen would truly have a place among powerhouses of the same rank!

"Don't rush, I can perhaps discuss it with Min Longyu and the others, and let these formation masters help me perfect this idea."

Luo Chen naturally discovered the arrival of his own sect members.

After finishing today's work, Luo Chen descended and sought them out.

Needless to say, they caught up.

Soon, Min Longyu threw himself into the work of perfecting the Dragon-Trapping Formation.

Of course, such a great formation that was to serve as a foundation for ten thousand generations was by no means a one-day achievement.

Even with a group of formation masters busy, and Di Wuqi, Cen Qiusheng, and others helping to collect formation materials, they only managed to get a prototype.

There were still many steps to be taken if they wanted to achieve something in the future.

Like moving mountains and filling seas!

Moving mountains and filling seas in the literal sense.

Later, they would have to find some Tier 1 and Tier 2 spirit vein mountains and rivers, move them over to build outside the main vein, and at the same time dig canals to lead water, organize feng shui patterns, and ensure the smooth flow of terrestrial Qi, etc.

Therefore, eat the rice one bite at a time, and walk the road one step at a time.

Everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

At night.

In Luo Chen's cave dwelling.

Fu Jiusheng and Min Longyu, who were invited, listened quietly to his idea.

"Integrate restrictions into magic spells?"

"That's a bit wishful thinking!"

"How is it wishful thinking? Didn't you, Fellow Daoist Fu, say that there are great powerhouses who integrate emptiness restrictions into magic spell supernatural powers?"

"So that's a great powerhouse!"

"Uh..."

"As far as Longyu can see, integrating darkness restrictions into magic spells is indeed difficult. It's easy to cause conflict; either the power will drop sharply, or the magic spell will get out of control and backfire on oneself. However!"

Under the gaze of the two Jin Dan masters, Min Longyu licked his lips, his expression very excited.

"If it's just building an auxiliary formation to cover up spiritual power fluctuations, making the magic spell casting have smaller traces, it's actually not a difficult thing."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Do you have a way?"

"Not yet, but with the idea, finding a solution is just following the map to find the horse," Min Longyu smiled proudly. "Give me some time, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Fu Jiusheng shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, Min Longyu's formation talent is above mine; things that cannot be done with single restrictions, he can find another way through formations."

Min Longyu chuckled, "The Elder overpraises me."

Immediately, Luo Chen cast several magic spells he was good at in front of Min Longyu, let him get familiar with them, and then waited for him to give results.

Before leaving, Min Longyu mentioned something.

"If you want to achieve something in the way of formations, relying solely on studying darkness restrictions won't work; that's walking on one leg. In my humble opinion, you have to learn more about the other basic restrictions."

Luo Chen nodded; he took these words to heart.

After forming his core, although there were many things to do, time had become very abundant.

In addition to his main business of cultivation and alchemy, learning a skill was an idea he had always had.

His goal was naturally the formations he had been eyeing for a long time.

Coincidentally, there were two formation masters in the Luo Tian Sect.

Min Longyu had outstanding formation talent and often had unexpected ideas.

Fu Jiusheng, although conventional, had a solid foundation and broad knowledge.

With these two teaching him, Luo Chen believed that he would inevitably be able to lay a solid foundation like his alchemy!

The future is promising!
