Chapter 1846 The Future Depends on the Young People
"Elder Gu, is this method still complete? What are the conditions for cultivation? What are the requirements for participants?" Mingchuan asked repeatedly.
Elder Gu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That broken stele is severely damaged. I only saw scattered records and general concepts. The specific formation layout and resonance techniques have long been lost."
"However, I have always remembered its core concept, and I have studied and deduced it with several fellow enthusiasts in the sect, but it has never formed a systematic approach. This method requires extremely high levels of tacit understanding, trust, compatibility of techniques, and even synchronization of mind and spirit among the participants, which is by no means easy."
Elder Yun seemed to be pondering: "What if we combine formations with pills, or even purification power? Perhaps that could lower the barrier to entry or enhance the resonance effect?"
The formation elder pondered, "Perhaps we can improve upon the existing enlightenment formation here and try to simulate that resonance field..."
The elders started discussing the incomplete concept of battle formation resonance, and the more they talked, the more they felt it was worth studying in depth.
Although fraught with difficulties, it seems to be a worthwhile path to take.
As Mingchuan listened, his thoughts gradually became clearer.
Rapid individual improvement carries too much risk, so let's take the path of integrating collective strength!
We must quickly train these talented and virtuous young cultivators from the Hall of Elite Talents into elite squads that can work together seamlessly and unleash combat power far exceeding that of their individual members!
This might be better suited to dealing with complex and dangerous situations than simply gathering a few high-level cultivators.
“Alright!” Mingchuan made the decision. “Elder Gu, please take the lead, join forces with Elder Yun and Elder Jingyi, and gather elites from various sects who are skilled in formations, pills, and combined attack techniques to form a special task force to fully study and deduce this battle formation resonance method!”
In terms of resources, Wanchuan Sect and the four major sects will provide full support!
I need to see a feasible solution as quickly as possible, even if it's just a preliminary one!
"Yes!"
The three elders solemnly accepted the order, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
This is not only a response to the crisis, but also a groundbreaking attempt.
"Elder Lü, the daily cultivation of the Elite Hall cannot be relaxed. At the same time, we can begin to organize the disciples into preliminary groups according to the characteristics of their cultivation techniques and their personalities, and conduct some basic cooperative combat training to lay the foundation for future battles," Mingchuan continued to arrange.
"Understood." Luqiu nodded.
After leaving the Enlightenment Hall, Mingchuan felt a little more at ease.
At least one possible direction has been found.
He strolled through the Hall of Talented Individuals, observing the young faces of those diligently studying.
Many of them still had a youthful look on their faces, but their eyes were full of determination.
These are the future of the Spirit Realm, and we must fight our way out for them and for ourselves.
As he walked, he came to the edge of the training ground.
In the arena, a dozen disciples were conducting group combat drills. Their spells flashed and shouts rang out. Although they were still a bit inexperienced, they already showed some skill and discipline.
Mingchuan paused to watch for a moment, and was about to leave when suddenly, his brows furrowed and his gaze fell on a figure sitting alone in the corner of the training ground.
He was a boy who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in the attire of the Xuantian Sect. His cultivation level was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and his aura was not particularly outstanding.
But his actions at this moment were somewhat peculiar.
He did not watch the competition in the arena. Instead, he closed his eyes, held his hands loosely in front of his chest, and a faint light blue aura flowed from his fingertips, as if he was simulating some extremely complex and subtle spiritual power operation. His brows were furrowed and he was completely focused.
What caught Mingchuan's attention even more was that the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the boy's body seemed to resonate with the pulse of a basic array on the ground of the trial field in an extremely subtle, almost instinctive way.
Although it was so faint as to be almost imperceptible, it was like a glimmer of light in the darkness to Mingchuan, who had mastered the laws of space and was exceptionally sensitive to the flow of energy.
"A natural affinity with formations? Or..." Mingchuan's heart stirred, and he quietly walked over.
The boy was so engrossed that he was startled awake when Mingchuan approached and cast his shadow over him. He opened his eyes in a panic, saw Mingchuan, and was immediately startled. He quickly stood up and bowed.
"Your disciple...Xu Qing of Xuantian Sect greets Sect Master Ming!"
The person speaking was stammering, clearly not expecting to encounter this legendary figure here.
Mingchuan smiled gently, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous: "I saw you practicing alone here just now, it seemed like you were simulating some kind of complex spiritual energy circuit? And, you seemed to be able to sense the flow of spiritual energy in the ground array?"
Seeing Mingchuan's calm demeanor, Xu Qing's tension eased slightly, but a look of surprise appeared in his eyes:
"Sect Master Ming, you noticed? This disciple... this disciple is indeed quite sensitive to the flow of spiritual energy in formations."
"Watching their competition just now, I felt that if I could anticipate or even slightly interfere with the spiritual energy nodes of the auxiliary formation beneath their feet, I might be able to catch them off guard... So I tried to simulate it myself, and I hope the sect leader won't laugh at me."
He lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.
Predicting and interfering with array nodes?
This is not a simple matter of array affinity; it requires a considerable understanding and intuition of the essence of arrays and the dynamics of spiritual energy!
This kid is a genius in formations!
Mingchuan was secretly delighted, but his face remained impassive: "You're very interested in formations? Which ones have you studied?"
Seeing that Mingchuan seemed genuinely interested, Xu Qing grew bolder and respectfully replied, "I have loved studying array formations since I was a child. I have mostly learned on my own within the sect. I have read 'Basic Array Pattern Diagrams' and 'A Preliminary Exploration of the Five Elements Array Theory,' and... I have also secretly copied half of 'The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Transformation Array' from the sect's library, but I don't understand many parts of it."
His voice trailed off towards the end.
"A Description of the Small Heavenly Cycle Star Formation"?
That's a rather profound array formation manual from the Xuantian Sect. How did this kid manage to get his hands on half of it and even try to figure it out on his own?
“Very good.” Mingchuan nodded. “Starting tomorrow, you will no longer need to participate in the regular combat drills. I will speak with your Sect Master Chu and the elders in charge here. You will temporarily follow Elder Jingyi and assist her in the basic formation deduction and testing of the Battle Formation Resonance project.”
"Huh?" Xu Qing was completely stunned, thinking she had misheard.
Following Elder Jingyi? Participating in those high-end-sounding projects?
"What, you don't want to?" Mingchuan raised an eyebrow.
"I'm willing! This disciple is willing! Thank you, Sect Master Ming! Thank you, Sect Master Ming!" Xu Qing reacted, his face flushed with excitement, and he bowed repeatedly.
This is simply a stroke of luck!
"Study hard and work hard. The future of the Spirit Realm needs young people like you who have ideas and are willing to delve into things."
Mingchuan patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Xu Qing was left standing there, still excited, her gaze towards Ming Chuan's back filled with endless gratitude and respect.
Mingchuan was in a good mood. He hadn't expected that his trip to Yingcai Hall would not only confirm the research direction of battle formation resonance, but also unexpectedly discover a promising talent in formation techniques.
It seems that the Spirit Realm is not lacking in talent, but rather needs better guidance and opportunities.
He looked up into the void, his eyes sharp.
Battle formation research takes time, but the threat from the enemy will not wait.
Before the battle formation is complete, he must find a way to buy more time for the Spirit Realm, or... proactively weaken the enemy's strength.
"It's time to contact Master Huineng and see if there's anything interesting to watch in the Holy Land."
He smiled and his figure disappeared into the spatial portal of the Hall of Talents.
