Yan Jie felt a little nervous: This old man claimed to be the head of Tianyue Peak, and his identity should be comparable to Fairy Miaoyin. Judging from the reactions of the foundation-building disciples around him, it is obvious that this old man is very famous. When it comes to cultivation, I am afraid that he is even better than Fairy Miaoyin. Tianji Academy is indeed capable, and such a useless course as "History of Formation", he actually wants to give a head of Yifeng to the head of Yifeng!

Just as Yan Jie was in deep thought, the head of Tianyue Peak suddenly said: "I know that many of you will not take this course to heart. In your heart, when you come to Tianji Academy, you naturally have to learn some formation skills. It is best to learn some rare and powerful formations. When fighting with others in the future, it will be better to have the upper hand! Humph, I will tell you today that such an idea is tantamount to buying a box and returning a pearl, which is the stupidest! The way of formation is not to fight for courage! If you cannot understand this principle, even if you have learned some magical formations over the past ten years, it will not be a good thing for you to throw the path of cultivation!"

He paused and said, "Many people must have another question. Why does Tianji Academy have to put such a seemingly useless subject in the first section of the first day of the first day? This must have a profound meaning. Here, I will tell you that Tianji Academy does this to allow you to understand the development of the formation from the evolution of the formation and grasp the future development direction of the formation!"

Yan Jie was stunned when he heard this, and vaguely felt that Zhai Xingzi's words seemed to be quite consistent with his previous thoughts. In the past three months, he had been studying the ancient teleportation array on the wooden sign on the first floor of the Collection Pavilion, and he came to the conclusion that the formation changes and deduced that runes were not the most basic element that constituted the formation.

However, Yan Jie thought about the old man's words and seemed to be the purpose of the course "History of the Formation of the Tianji Sect" was not to explore the past, but it had a bit of the meaning of "understanding the past and knowing the future".

Sure enough, the old man continued, "You disciples are all talents that I have focused on cultivating in Tianji Sect. In the future, you still need to maintain and fight for the status of Tianji Sect. Therefore, your vision must not be like those reckless men in the outside world, looking at the formation from a static and mechanical perspective!"

"Tell me, what is the formation? Is it a dead body that is unchanging? If you really think so, it is a big mistake. From ancient times to the present, the evolution of the formation has never stopped for a moment. Even now, the formation is still constantly evolving! The reason why our Tianji Sect can hold the position of the seven major sects in Qiongzhou for tens of thousands of years is to accurately predict the evolution direction of the formation. If a mistake occurs, the Tianji Sect will be in danger of destruction. Therefore, this course "History of the Tianji Sect Formation" will be the first lesson for introductory learning.

, You all remembered it for me: at any time, the formation is in evolution and change. Ancient formations have the characteristics of ancient formations. Medium formations have the advantages of medieval formations. The ancient formations have the improvement of ancient formations. The popular formations in the cultivation world today are mostly influenced by our Tianji Sect! Today's formations, with modularity as the core, can greatly simplify the efficiency of formations and improve the application of formations in all aspects of cultivation. However, the module itself is not without shortcomings. Only when you realize this can you gain the advantage in the formation duel with other sects."

Next, the old man started from the beginning of the ancient formation. As Yan Jie knew, the origin of the formation in the cultivation world traced back to the battle between ancient immortals and demons. In the duel with the demons, the cultivation world gradually learned the way of using formations and began to use runes.

What Zhai Xingzi said is not a nonsense statement. He set up three ancient formations on the ground in a row to explain the essence of them one by one. The runes used in these three formations are both similar to the rune system in the current cultivation world, and there are many differences. It is the main doubt that Yan Jie had when he studied the formation of the Collection Pavilion.

This old man was deeply immersed in the formation. He picked up these complicated ancient runes and explained them everywhere. He also quoted them widely, focusing on comparing the differences with today's formations, thus revealing the evolution rules of the formation, which really benefited Yan Jie a lot.

More importantly, when Yan Jie was studying the ancient teleportation array before, he spent a lot of effort to study the ancient golden text, which happened to come in handy at this time.

Two of the three ancient formations set up by the old man were based on the above ancient golden verses. The other one is the stone drum script, which is thick and simple, and Yan Jie once saw it on the Demon-Sealing Platform.

Yan Jie had the foundation of Jin Rongwen, and when he listened to Zhai Xingzi explaining the mystery of the formation, he really felt that every word was gem and he was not willing to miss a single word.

Not only that, what surprised Yan Jie even more was that the three formations laid by Zhaixingzi were almost exactly the same as the ancient teleportation array style that Yan Jie saw in the Collection Pavilion. Even the formations laid out with stone drum text also had the rough and condensing style of the ancient formation. As far as Yan Jie knew, this style was the style of the demon formation. In ancient times, most of the formations in the cultivation world directly copied the formations of the demons. Occasionally one or two genius monks improved it, which was just to increase the power of the formation or make some changes in the arrangement and application of the formations. There was no subversive innovation in the formation system of the demons.

It is also because of this that after the improvement of the sages of the Middle Ages, the formations in the cultivation world gradually began to part ways with the style of the demons, and the differences appeared in the formation system.

Therefore, if you want to study ancient formations, you must first go back to the source and study medieval formations. Only by mastering the characteristics and differences of medieval formations can you have a deeper understanding of the structural principles of ancient formations.

Yan Jie felt more and more interesting as he heard it, and gradually constructed a picture of ancient formations in his mind. However, he still learned very little, so the picture was just a blurry outline. The level he could reach now was that he could recognize the role of these ancient formations. He asked him to analyze the principles, or go further and let him set up a magic array with the same style as the ancient formations, then he would not be able to do it.

Yan Jie was so fascinated by the sound of listening here, but the other monks in the classroom felt very different.

However, Zhaixingzi started from the ancient formations as soon as he started this course, which undoubtedly raised the threshold for learning and invisibly increased the difficulty of learning. Not only were the few Qi-refining cultivators who had just entered the sect, but also the genius and stunning foundation-building disciples, most of them were confused.

What's more, when Zhaixingzi explained the ancient formation, he would not explain the meaning of each rune in detail. For most runes without support types, he would just briefly explain the role of these rune structures. The others were mentioned in one stroke and would not explain in detail at all. He would only explain them in detail when it comes to the core part of the formation.

However, the core of the formation is important, but most of the monks in the classroom do not understand the ancient golden text, not to mention that these ancient texts are most likely to have multiple meanings. Often, a rune here represents flow, but when it goes to the other side, it becomes control, which has a very different meaning, which increases the difficulty for students who are studying to listen to the class.

Even people like Yan Jie who have systematically studied Jin Rongwen, when they heard Zhaixingzi analyze the core part of the formation, they had only a little understanding of some places, and could only use the "turtle mirror" to remember it and leave it for review after class. It is natural that the learning efficiency of other disciples can be imagined.

However, Yan Jie was as if he had divine help during the lecture. He divided the computing power of the "Tortoise Mirror" into three calculation areas. While listening to Zhai Xingzi's explanation, he analyzed the three large arrays on the ground, and compared the ancient teleportation array on the wooden sign of the library. As Zhai Xingzi's explanation went step by step, Yan Jie was constantly inspired, just as if he got a corresponding reference book while doing the question, the difficulty of solving the problem suddenly decreased greatly.

Before the class was over, Yan Jie had solved the overall outline of the ancient teleportation array. Only some minor filling was needed, and this problem was solved.

When Yan Jie thought that he would soon enter the second floor of the Collection Pavilion, he was so happy that when he looked at Zhaixingzi again, he felt that the old man's fairy-like appearance was no longer so annoying.

He has always been deeply influenced by his master Zi Yangzi, and is full of disgust for these immortals who are dressed up with righteousness. Now, this Zhaixingzi explains the three ancient formations in analytical way, which inspired Yan Jie and his impression of him will naturally change greatly.

The Zhaixingzi analyzed the three large formations on the ground one by one, and then summarized the basic characteristics of the ancient formations and their origins and differences with modern formations. Then he waved his sleeves and the formation on the ground suddenly dissipated invisible.

"Why--"

The monks present sighed almost at the same time. The old man taught it too difficult, and it was numerous and complicated. Many people were immersed in the deduction of the formation, but forgot about the formation diagram. Unexpectedly, after the old man finished explaining it, he wiped the formation diagram with a wave of his hand, which caught them off guard.

Zhai Xingzi smiled and said, "These three array diagrams are all ancient formations. The array materials involved are very different from those that are popular today. Some of them have completely disappeared from the cultivation world. Other materials are also sky-high in the cultivation world today. For example, drawing the spiritual liquid of runes requires the use of the spiritual blood of the demon clan or the Yaksha clan. These two groups are not owned by the cultivation world. The demon clan disappeared from the cultivation world millions of years ago. Even if you want to find them, you have no idea how to start. Not to mention the Wanzai Han Jade Cervical chalcedony used for the control of the formation, and the purple thunder vine used for the cultivation world are priceless in the cultivation world in the world! Therefore, if you want to copy these three formations to fight against the enemy, you have made a mistake! Hehehe..."

The old man smiled and immediately made Yan Jie's impression that he had finally established collapse.

Zhaixingzi continued, "You don't have to be discouraged. Although most of the array materials for these formations are no longer available, if you are willing to use your brain, you can still get some inspiration from the similarities and differences between ancient and modern formations I just talked about. In today's cultivation world, some sects advocate retro. In my eyes, the so-called retro is completely nonsense! Humph, if modern people cannot surpass the ancients, there is no future in this cultivation world? Only those who dare to innovate and dare to challenge the ancients can be considered true.

Cultivator! Therefore, the task I give you today is: try to use a modern array system to reproduce one of these three formations. After you complete it, you can hand over the Tianji Order to me the formation diagram. I will select two of the formations you handed over and directly give the reward of 200 Tianji Points. Of course, if the formation I selected was from the disciples of Tianji Academy, the reward would double! I think you should all know the rules here. How important is the Tianji Point, so I don’t need to say more, right?”

The old man's words were like a stone thrown into the water, which caused a stir in the classroom, and everyone was moved by it.

You should know that Yan Jie and others entered the Tianji Academy with only 300 points. I think the number of Tianji points that the inner disciples can get should be even smaller. And the old man just moved his lips and gave a reward of 200 Tianji points. This is not an ordinary move!

What's more, according to the old man, if the formation of a direct disciple of the Tianji Academy wins, the reward will be doubled. In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to 400 reward points?

Yan Jie quietly looked around and found that the faces of the many monks around him were all moving, and some of them were eager to try, as if they were sure to win.

The old man was obviously very satisfied with everyone's reaction and said proudly: "This is all about this class today. There is less than a quarter of an hour left. If you have any questions, ask now. If you are out of date, you won't wait!"

The disciples were silent for a moment. When the old man was quite impatient, an inner disciple suddenly raised his hand in the southeast of Yan Jie.

The old man glanced at the disciple, sneered twice, and said, "It turns out that he is a disciple of Xiaoyue Peak. Tell me, what's the problem?"

The disciple of Xiaoyue Peak hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage and said, "Uncle Zhaixingzi, for this further study, there will be disciples participating in our inner sects, and of course, including your disciples of Tianyue Peak. Uncle Master, you released such a big reward on the first day. If you are taken away by the disciples of Tianyue Peak, it would be unfair..."

Yan Jie was stunned when he heard this. The disciple of Xiaoyuefeng actually hinted at the old man in public to give benefits to his disciples. Is this guy too brave?
Chapter completed!
