Chapter 238 Promoted to Level 4 Array Mage, Grandmaster Level Spell
Ten years later.
Xianxia Sect, Xianxia Peak, a quiet room.
"Finally promoted to level four array mage."
Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground with an excited look on his face.
Ten years ago, with the help of Shangguan Xu, he placed the Formation Gu in the Wuji Alliance's fourth-level high-grade formation, the Wuji Universe Formation. It took ten years for the Formation Gu to successfully erode this fourth-level formation and become The formation spirit of this fourth-level formation.
The reason why it took so long was that there was nothing we could do about it.
After all, the Formation Heart Gu was only at the third-level high-grade level in the past.
Wanting to cannibalize the fourth-level high-grade formation is like an ant eating an elephant. It takes a lot of time to succeed.
But no matter what, judging from the results, he still succeeded.
It means that with the help of the power of the Formation Heart Gu, he has entered the realm of a fourth-level low-level Formation Mage.
At this moment, countless information about the fourth-level formations poured into the depths of his consciousness. Sparks of wisdom flashed every second, as if countless formation knowledge were colliding.
"The fourth-level formation is different from the third-level formation. It belongs to the dual composite formation."
"In other words, the fusion of the two formations has increased the power of the formation by more than ten times."
"Of course, the difficulty has also increased more than ten times."
"It's like two dimensions have been upgraded to three dimensions. It's a qualitative improvement."
"The Wuji Universe Formation is such a composite formation that combines the power of the Mystery Formation and the Killing Formation."
"Once you enter this infinite universe, you will be confused by the space maze and cannot leave at all. It even incorporates the power of space killing and can kill enemies in the void."
"So this fourth-level formation has even the Nascent Soul cultivators fearing it, and its level has been upgraded to the fourth-level high-grade formation."
Zhou Sui clicked his tongue in admiration.
After the Formation Heart Gu devoured the Wuji Universe Formation, he finally understood the power of this formation.
It can only be said that it is indeed the core formation of the Wuji Alliance.
As long as this formation exists, it is almost impossible for the enemy to break through the headquarters of the Wuji Alliance.
Even if it is besieged by dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, it will be difficult to break through this fourth-level formation.
"If the Wuji Universe Formation can be placed in the Sanxing Island Group, then why should we be afraid of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Clan?"
"Even if they come out in force, they can't even try to break through my mountain-protecting formation."
"Unfortunately, it is too difficult to build this fourth-level formation. Even if the three sects combined their wealth, they would not be able to afford the materials for the fourth-level formation."
Zhou Sui felt a little sorry.
Even if he has the cultivation level of a fourth-level low-grade formation mage, it does not mean that he can set up a fourth-level formation.
Make bricks without straw.
Even building a formation requires a large amount of formation materials.
For example, the core material of the fourth-order Wuji Qiankun Formation is the fourth-order material Qiankun Jade. It is this extremely precious Qiankun Jade that gives this formation the supreme power to reverse space.
However, such fourth-level materials cannot be bought with money, and they are prohibited resources for sale.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to copy such a fourth-level formation.
"But the most important thing about the layout of the formation is to adapt to local conditions."
“If the environment is suitable, it will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"That island is suitable for the arrangement of the Wuji Qiankun Formation, but it does not mean that the Samsung Island Group is suitable for the arrangement."
"The geographical environment of the two places is completely different. If they are arranged reluctantly, it will be like painting a tiger instead of a dog."
"It's like if you stay in the desert, you can't set up water-based formations."
"If you are in a metal vein, you cannot deploy a wood formation."
"The formations corresponding to different environments are different."
"Unless you reach the supreme state of using formations to change the environment, you can ignore the impact of geographical environment on formations."
"I'm afraid that such an array master may not exist in the human world, and even a fourth-level array master cannot reach this level."
"So now we still adapt to local conditions honestly."
"The fourth-level formation that is most suitable for the Sanxing Island Group should be the Xuanyin Heavy Water Formation."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
This is one of the fourth-level high-grade formations among the fourth-level formation inheritance he received from Master Peach Blossom.
If the arrangement is successful, the power of this formation will be no less powerful than the Wuji Universe Formation.
The reason why we want to set up this formation is naturally closely related to the Samsung Island Group.
Under the Samsung Island Group, there is not only a fourth-order high-grade spiritual vein, but also a fourth-order Xuanyin spiritual vein, which contains a huge amount of Xuanyin energy.
It can be said that the geographical environment here is very suitable for setting up the Xuanyin Heavy Water Formation.
This is a composite formation that combines defensive formations and killing formations.
Once the arrangement is successful, the area covered by the formation will instantly form a huge heavy water barrier.
Such a heavy water barrier can greatly weaken the enemy's attack power.
Even if it is attacked by many sea beasts, it will be swallowed up and submerged by the boundless heavy water.
If it enters the formation, the infinite Xuanyin energy will burst out with endless murderous intent, forming lines of Xuanyin sword energy, enough to cut the enemy into pieces with thousands of swords.
Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator steps into it, he may be strangled by the power of the formation, unable to escape or avoid.
"The power of the fourth-level formation is not just as simple as fusing two major formations."
"The most important thing is that the fourth-level formation will also form a double barrier."
"Previously, there was only one kind of barrier for the third-order formation."
"If the enemy strikes with all his strength, he will break the barrier and easily escape from the formation."
"But the fourth-order formation forms a double barrier."
"Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to escape from the barrier, it is extremely difficult."
"Especially with the assistance of the fourth-level spiritual veins, which has endless energy, the enemy has no way to escape."
Zhou Sui was extremely emotional.
It’s no wonder that formation mages have such a high status in the world of immortality. Fourth-level formation mages are almost equal to the ancestors of Yuanying.
It is because even the ancestor of Nascent Soul dare not compete with the formation master who has mastered the fourth level formation.
If you step into the formation, you will definitely be consumed by the fourth-level formation until it turns into ashes.
Of course, the Array Master also has great weaknesses.
That means you cannot leave the formation.
If you leave the formation, you will lose most of its threatening power.
Basically, he's a rough guy.
But for Zhou Sui, it didn't matter at all.
After all, he has nothing to do and will not leave his base at all.
Anyway, he has a long life and does not need to compete with other monks for resources.
Even if you practice step by step, you can be promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Divine Transformation Realm.
Become a top monk in the human world.
"If you want to refine the fourth-level Xuanyin Heavy Water Formation, you need to consume a lot of resources."
"It seems that we still need to discuss it with a Taoist companion."
"After all, we need the full support of Xianxia City to successfully deploy this formation."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
But he was not in a hurry to go out. He opened his virtual panel to see how his current cultivation progress was.
[Host: Zhou Sui, cultivation level: early stage of Golden elixir (70% progress), life span: 64 (5500) years]

Suddenly, gorgeous data appeared in front of Zhou Sui's eyes.
"Sure enough, after being promoted to the Golden Core Realm, the improvement of cultivation level is getting slower and slower."
Zhou Sui was very emotional.
He has been practicing for a full ten years, but he has only improved 70% of the progress in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.
And this is with the assistance of Taoist companions and even the assistance of elixirs.
One can imagine how difficult it is for Jindan Zhenren to practice.
Sometimes Jindan monks have not made much progress in their cultivation for decades, or even one or two hundred years.
The reason why this happened.
In addition to the lack of elixirs, the most important issue is the spiritual root qualification.
Fifth-grade spiritual roots are barely enough when in the foundation building realm.
But after reaching the Golden Core realm, such spiritual root qualifications are a bit of a drag.
This will also cause the progress of his cultivation to be very slow.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The improvement of spiritual root qualifications is something that goes against heaven.
He was able to use the power of the infatuation Gu to help improve his spiritual root qualifications, which was already quite unbelievable.
Even if the improvement speed is slow, it is still improving.
And now the fifth-grade spiritual root has reached 70% progress, which is already quite good.
It is estimated that after a while, there will be an opportunity to be promoted to the fourth-level spiritual root qualification.
By then, his practice efficiency will definitely improve a lot.
"Sure enough, the formation master's cultivation level is only a fourth-level low-grade one."
"If you want to advance to the fourth level of high-level realm, it will take some time."
Zhou Sui touched his chin.
He understood a fourth-level high-grade formation, which only allowed him to understand the secret of the fourth-level formation.
It does not mean that he has really improved his formation cultivation to the fourth level.
If one's formation cultivation reaches the fourth-level high level, it means that one has thoroughly understood every fourth-level formation.
No matter which level 4 formation it is, it can be easily set up.
To be honest, even if he is only a fourth-level low-level formation master, he is considered a top existence in the Canglan Sea and can be called a formation master.
There are probably only a few people who can match his formation cultivation.
After all, he knows how difficult it is to understand the fourth-order formation.
The third and fourth levels are the gap between kindergarten and college students.
The difficulty has increased more than ten times.
There are many third-level formation mages in the Canglan Sea, but there are only a handful of fourth-level formation mages.
"It seems that the telepathy between the mind and the eye is about to be perfected."
"It seems that we still have to find time to completely refine this mind."
Zhou Sui was very satisfied with the progress of the mind-eye communication.
After all, in the past ten years, he has not paid much attention to the cultivation of the mind's eye.
Because the ability of this mind's eye does not greatly improve his current cultivation level, it cannot increase his combat effectiveness too much.
It is simply not comparable to the formation cultivation.
Although he temporarily postponed the practice of this mind's eye, even so, he increased the progress to 85%, and it is not very far away from its true formation.
Once successful, he will understand the language of all things.
This is a very important ability.
Because there are countless creatures and species in the Canglan Sea.
They all have their own language, which ordinary humans cannot understand at all.
But if you have the power of mind-eye communication, you can know what the other person is saying even if you don't need to learn the other person's words and language. This is equivalent to a universal translator.
"But the skill that can be improved the most is magic."
Zhou Sui saw various basic spells on his virtual panel, and almost every spell had been upgraded to the master level.
The reason why the magic ability has improved so quickly is due to the power of the third-level book Gu.
He entered the virtual library and practiced various spells, and his understanding increased threefold.
Therefore, his understanding of various techniques has progressed at a rapid pace.
In addition, they are just basic spells at best.
Therefore, it is easy to cultivate to the master level.
After all, now that he is a real Jin Dan, it is easy to practice this basic technique again.
It's like college students going back to do kindergarten questions.
"Fireball."
"Wind Blade Technique!"
"Ice spell!"
"Golden Light Technique!"
At this moment, Zhou Sui stood up and began to perform a technique.
Boom~~
Suddenly, a fireball smashed over, like a cannonball, instantly hitting the wall of the quiet room, and suddenly a huge hole was made. Flames splashed out with infinite power.
A wind blade also flew out, like a sword, with its sharp edge exposed. With a bang, a crack of several meters appeared on the wall in front of it.
When the ice spell was cast, the ground was instantly frozen, forming a thick layer of ice, and the temperature dropped by dozens of degrees.
The power of each spell is extraordinary.
"Sure enough, even basic spells will have incredible power when you reach the master level."
"Coupled with the fact that it is activated by the golden elixir, the power of the spell is even more amazing."
Zhou Sui also thought of the famous magic cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. They specialize in various spells and are good at fighting with many magic spells. Their combat effectiveness is no less than that of sword cultivators.
Every Dharma cultivator is a mobile fort in the world of cultivating immortals, enjoying a great reputation.
Now he has more or less the power of a Dharma cultivator.
It can be said that every ability in the world of cultivating immortals will produce great power if practiced to the extreme.
"With the strong golden elixir power in my body now."
"Becoming a Dharma practitioner is really easy."
"Other practitioners cast dozens of spells, so I'm afraid they have to rest and recover their magic power."
"But I can cast hundreds of spells, and there will be no problems with it."
"I am the mobile fort in the world of immortality. I can control the power of magic from a distance and kill the enemy."
Zhou Sui was very proud.
Half an hour later, he also finished testing various abilities and walked out of the quiet room.
This retreat ended.
"Mr. sir, is the retreat over?"
"Did you achieve a breakthrough in your cultivation?"
At this moment, Taoist monks such as Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, Mu Ziyan, Leng Yuexi, Lin Yazhu and Shen Biqian were also in the living room, looking happily at Zhou Sui who walked out of the quiet room.
They knew that their husband must have made a great breakthrough in his cultivation during this retreat.
"How can one's cultivation be so easy to break through?"
Zhou Sui waved his hand.
Although he has been practicing hard for ten years, his cultivation is still at the early stage of Jindan.
After all, after being promoted to the Golden Core Realm, the speed of cultivation has also slowed down a lot.
Even if it takes decades or hundreds of years without a breakthrough, it is normal.
Some even remain trapped in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm their entire lives.
Of course, his cultivation has made good progress under hard training. At least he has made 70% progress in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, and with 30% progress left, he can be promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
This speed is already staggeringly fast compared to ordinary Jindan monks.
"Although there is no breakthrough in my cultivation, my formation cultivation has."
"Now I am a fourth-level array mage."
Zhou Sui smiled slightly and told his wives and concubines the good news.
What? !
As soon as these words came out, the beautiful eyes of Leng Yuexi and others immediately lit up, and they were all extremely excited.
To be honest, this is more shocking and has greater benefits than a breakthrough in cultivation.
After all, even if my husband is promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, his combat effectiveness will only be doubled or doubled.
But if one breaks through in formation cultivation and becomes a fourth-level formation mage, coupled with a fourth-level formation, his combat effectiveness may be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul monk.
Such benefits are simply unimaginable.
"Could it be that my husband can now set up a fourth-level formation?"
Lin Yazhu immediately thought of this possibility.
"Yes, this time I want to discuss with you about setting up a fourth-order formation in the Samsung Island Group."
"Once the formation is successful, it will be able to cover the entire Sanxing Island Group and nearly 200,000 kilometers of sea area."
"Even if we encounter a tide of beasts by then, we won't have anything to worry about."
"Of course, building the fourth-level formation consumes a lot of resources, and I'm afraid it will bankrupt our three major sects."
Zhou Sui also revealed his plan, which was to arrange a fourth-level formation.
"Oh, I wonder how many resources and how many spiritual stones are needed?"
Shen Biqian and others asked curiously.
"Well, the main materials used to build the fourth-level high-grade formation Xuanyin Heavy Water are Xuanyin Crystal and Heavy Crystal."
"But these two materials are fourth-level materials and are valuable."
"Although there are many of them, they are not considered rare treasures."
“But I’m afraid you also need to spend a lot of money to buy it.”
Zhou Sui also gave an approximate number.
Hearing this, Shen Biqian and other fellow Taoists smiled softly and relaxed a lot.
"It turns out it's only such a small amount of money. I was really shocked just now. I thought it was just how much it would cost."
"With such a small amount of money, we in Xianxia City may be able to earn it back in five years."
"My husband has been practicing in seclusion all year round. Maybe he still doesn't know how profitable our Xianxia City is now."
"That's right. Now our population in Xianxia City has exceeded five million. We earn an astronomical amount of money every year just by collecting rent."
Shen Biqian and others smiled softly, all of them showing proud expressions.
The current Xianxia City is already different from what it used to be.
"No, is it true or false? Is the population of Xianxia City growing so fast?"
"Is Xianxia City so profitable now?"
Zhou Sui was a little confused.
He really didn't pay much attention to the management of Xianxia City and left everything to his Taoist companions to handle.
After all, I was just an otaku in my previous life and knew absolutely nothing about business.
Even though he has been in the world of cultivating immortals for decades, he has spent most of his time practicing hard.
The so-called specialization in the art industry, he ignored these things.
"Mr. Sir, the sea areas of the Wuji Alliance have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past ten years."
"Especially the attacks from the Sea Clan are becoming more and more intense and fierce."
"A large number of islands were captured by the Sea Tribe, resulting in numerous human casualties."
"Even according to the strength of the Wuji Alliance, it can only protect some important islands."
"Those ordinary islands were simply abandoned."
"In order to survive, many monks fled from the northern sea."
"After all, our sea area belongs to the rear area and is not the main direction of attack for the Sea Clan."
"So in the past ten years, our sea area has become a rare pure land."
Ji Bingyu explained.
Because in the past ten years, the attacks of the Sea Tribe have led to increasing chaos in this sea area.
Moreover, after losing the management of Wuji Alliance, a large number of robber cultivators also took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot.
The attack of the sea clan, the emergence of the beast tide, and the rampage of the robbery cultivators made this sea area extremely cruel, with countless casualties.
As a result, the Sanxing Island Group has become a pure land in the eyes of many monks.
In order to obtain a safe environment, many casual cultivators brought their families with them, and many monk families moved to the Samsung Islands.
After all, the area of the Samsung Island Group is still very large.
Even the three main islands are tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter and can accommodate hundreds of millions of people.
"But in addition to our three-star island group, there are also other third-level islands."
"You may not need to live in our Xianxia City."
Zhou Sui said doubtfully.
Because there are still competitors in the Samsung Island Group, those monks who fled may also go to live on other islands.
"Normally that's true."
"The problem is that several Jindan families in our area have big problems."
"For example, the Yu family, the Dai family, the Song family and other Jindan families have been unable to withstand the attacks of the beast tide in recent years."
"Their island defense formation was breached by a large number of sea beasts."
"Coupled with the many loose cultivators, the robbery cultivators took the opportunity to cause chaos, burning, killing, and looting."
"Now those Jindan families are almost wiped out."
"Only a few tribesmen escaped from the chaos."
"It's a pity that because their Jindan ancestor died, without the protection of Jindan Zhenren, they can no longer reproduce the style of the Jindan family in the past, and the family only has a few soldiers and generals left."
Mu Ziyan said in a deep voice.
In the past ten years, almost all the surrounding Jindan forces have been wiped out.
Except for the Xianxia City forces, the other Jindan forces were unable to survive and all disappeared.
"Is this gone?"
Hearing this, Zhou Sui looked very strange.
In the past, many Jindan masters from these Jindan families joined forces to destroy their Xianxia City.
aggressive.
The limelight lasted for a while.
The Yu family is also the golden elixir overlord in this sea area and is extremely arrogant.
But now, times have changed.
There was no need for Xianxia City to take action at all. It was just the beast tide and the robbery cultivators that caused chaos. These Jindan families were naturally wiped out and disappeared into the long river of history.
It can be said that the power of time is extremely terrifying, enough to kill countless enemies.
Before he could take action, all the enemies were stunned.
