Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chapter 423: Chapter 236 Reverse Engineering, Wood Element Truth
Zheng Fa looked at the jade tube in his hands again, his expression focused, and his face bearing deep thought.
Elder Yuan and the two could see that Zheng Fa was quite interested in the Immortal Formation Skill.
The two exchanged glances, both breaking into smiles, their eyes full of pride.
“How is it?”
Elder Yuan asked.
“With this Immortal Formation Skill…” Zheng Fa raised his head, generously praising: “Master and Uncle Master, you should be positioned amongst the Hall of Heroes.”
“Hey!” Elder Yuan waved his hand, “What is there to compete with those disciples for?”
“That’s right!” Master Pang agreed.
“Rather, Master Uncle and I haven’t together pondered over any secret techniques in these years, which makes it rather sentimental.”
“Exactly, back then it was you, elder brother, who taught me the ways of talismanic magic, millennia have passed in a blink…”
“This Immortal Formation Skill, was just a spark of inspiration I chanced upon, it’s nothing compared to the brotherhood between us two, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.”
“You’re right… Hm?”
Master Pang looked puzzledly at his own elder brother.
“Oh, including that negligible contribution of your Uncle Master.”
“…You, surnamed Yuan!”
Zheng Fa: …No wonder you two haven’t collaborated in millennia.
But from Master’s jest, one could see that their relationship has indeed improved quite a bit from before.
Especially Master himself, after yielding the position of Sect Leader, became more lively, speaking and laughing unrestrainedly, which indirectly healed many rifts from the past generation.
Seeing him smile towards the two, Elder Yuan added:
“Considering the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor’s high cultivation, we can hardly fathom it, but with this Immortal Formation, in the future we will not become your burden. If someone dares to bully our Jiushan Sect, let them see what unity truly means!”
Zheng Fa felt a warmth in his heart.
The Immortal Formation originated from talisman formations, yet due to the Spirit Talismans and spells of Xuanwei Realm, they are essentially two sides of the same thing, hence the operation of substituting people for talismans.
Listening to Master’s intention, he also understood why the two elders wanted to study this matter—
Firstly, it was naturally because Zheng Fa was devoted to facilitating exchanges among the cultivators of Jiushan Realm, breaking through many barriers of knowledge.
Previously, Elder Yuan could manage talisman formations, while Master Pang had the Linked Talisman Technique; both were well aware of this but secret techniques, naturally, were not easily shown to others. These techniques could only be learned by direct disciples.
After entering the Jiushan Realm, due to Zheng Fa’s principles, both were teaching their secret techniques on University Island, naturally without hiding them from each other.
Exchanges happened back and forth, indeed, realizations were quite normal.
Not only did this Immortal Formation have traces of talisman formation skills and Linked Talisman Technique, but it even faintly included some concepts from Zhang’s spiritual energy circuits, rightly one of the comprehensive achievements of Jiushan talismanic Dao.
Looking at these two elders, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction— these two achieving Nascent Souls, their aptitude and talent were naturally top-notch, and if they couldn’t advance, sometimes it was just bad luck.
Sometimes, it was also a matter of the system; cherishing one’s own broom as a treasure indeed does more harm to geniuses.
Zhou Qian Yuan could have insights, these two elders’ talent and perception were even superior to his, thriving under the current system of Jiushan Realm was not surprising to him after all.
What warmed him, however, was the thoughtfulness of these two elders.
Bringing out this talisman formation now, it was probably as Elder Yuan said— just wanting to lend a hand.
Elder Yuan said in a light-hearted manner: “I just had a sudden insight, what’s with that expression?”
“Ts…”
“…”
Elder Yuan looked toward the strangely behaving Master Pang.
“Uncle Master?”
Zheng Fa also looked at Master Pang.
“This Immortal Formation, we indeed had ideas about it long ago,” Master Pang glanced at Elder Yuan, and said: “But in this half-month, who knows who was pulling me every day to ponder over this, not stopping even for a moment.”
“Fervently came here waiting.”
Zheng Fa then looked towards Elder Yuan, only to see him pretending to be very busy and already walking away.
He couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Master Pang who was still standing next to him, and thoughtfully said: “Master Pang, please select disciples from your followers to oversee the practice of this Immortal Formation.”
This Immortal Formation, although the core is Elder Yuan’s talisman formation, the main framework was Master Pang’s Linked Talisman Technique— in simple terms, it’s about many disciples split into several or even dozens of groups, each with their own tasks.
Each group must have disciples practicing the Void Spirit Eye, using the concept of Linked Talisman Technique, to observe spiritual energy fluctuations and timely direct the group’s spell casting.
Only in this way, can true coordination be achieved.
This was a bit like the operation during Zheng Fa’s Golden Core Project, probably Elder Yuan and the other also found some inspiration in it.
Master Pang smiled and nodded, naturally happy— with this Immortal Formation out, his disciples’ importance in Jiushan Realm deepened even further.
Zheng Fa’s happiness was no less than Master Pang’s:
The Immortal Formation, although not significant now, could only be considered a gesture from Elder Yuan— after all, facing the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, this Immortal Formation couldn’t really offer much help.
What Zheng Fa valued, was the compatibility of this cultivation method with Jiushan Sect— this mode of combat fits extremely well with the current situation in Jiushan Realm:
Winning with fewer against many, the weak against the strong, achieving advantages in combat through strong organization and training.
Zheng Fa actually had a concern before, which was that after entering Jiushan Realm, as the days were relatively peaceful, not just Zheng Fa, but every disciple of Jiushan inevitably changed their mentality a bit.
The tumultuous Xuanwei Realm naturally faced more combat, cultivators becoming increasingly adept in fighting techniques.
This was evident from the previous Hundred Immortals Conference— the disciples from the Hundred Immortals Alliance displayed a variety of fighting techniques, which greatly broadened Zheng Fa’s horizons.
