185: Circulating Spirit Seal

The number of Formation Great Masters is extremely rare throughout the entire Eastern Region.

How rare, you ask?

Let's put it this way: in terms of combat power, a Great Master Formation Master is comparable to a Three Gods Realm expert.

But in terms of their numbers, they are probably... almost on par with the Saints of the Eastern Region.

As for Formation Grandmasters at the Saint Realm level, they are even more legendary figures; perhaps there's only one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!

Although Meng Lang had the pride of a Formation Master, capable of setting up the Vermillion Bird Spirit Array, a Formation strong enough to trap and kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, allowing him to fight above his Golden Core Stage against a Nascent Soul.

Normally, when he spoke to Lu Bai, he seemed slightly assertive, not believing himself to be inferior to his brother, and felt he could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

However...

Meng Lang knew in his heart that there was a huge gap between him and Lu Bai, and this huge gap was constantly widening!

Aside from Formations, he knew nothing else and had nothing else.

This is also why, after the Sect Grand Competition concluded and they returned to Wen Jian Peak, Meng Lang began to focus his mind and earnestly delve into Formations.

But now...

Lu Bai, such an unparalleled Prodigy, proficient in the Dao of Sword, Martial Arts, and Formations, actually thought he was a Formation Great Master?

Holy cow!

Meng Lang immediately felt his blood boil; he said nothing else and got to work!

That's right, he, Meng Lang, was indeed... a Formation Great Master!

Watching this scene, Lu Bai smiled.

He liked such talents: communication was simple and effective, they worked actively and diligently, and...

They didn't even ask for compensation.

The next moment, the smile on his face grew even wider.

No...

They even gave compensation.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for greatly boosting the confidence of the bound target Meng Lang, completing a deep exchange, and receiving the reward: Cyclical Spirit Seal Construction Method."

He hadn't expected this to trigger a reward!

It was truly an unintended success...

Subsequently, Lu Bai focused his mind on this reward related to the Dao of Formations.

【Cyclical Spirit Seal Construction Method: A lost Spirit Seal construction technique from ancient times, which, through minor improvements to the Spirit Seal, allows its spiritual power to circulate internally, greatly solving the problem of spiritual power loss in Formations.】

There are techniques for arranging Spirit Seals? And they can even save on losses?

Lu Bai was not an ignorant intern when it came to Formations; on the contrary, in his comprehension of the Dao of Formations, he was second only to Meng Lang in the entire Qing Xuan Province.

In terms of knowledge and foundation alone, Lu Bai, possessing the True Explanation of the Dao of Formations, had no equal.

The reason there are so few practitioners of the Dao of Formations today is because Formations are extremely troublesome to set up, disadvantageous in direct combat, and even require pre-arranged duels.

After a Spirit Array is set up, the spiritual power within the Spirit Seals is used to maintain the Formation's consumption; if the opponent is too strong, even without finding the Formation's core and eye, they can still break through the Formation.

But...

This thing can save on the spiritual power loss of Formations?

Instantly, various profound scenes reflected in Lu Bai's pupils.

...

At the same time, while Lu Bai was immersed in the memory scenes he had gained.

In the quiet, solitary Formation room, Meng Lang, without a word, also entered an extremely focused state.

He began to ponder the connection between the spiritual power supply of Formations and character cards, and upon this, to manifest corresponding Formation Spirits through Formations, and so on...

Subsequently, Meng Lang, based on what Lu Bai had said earlier, took the character card with his image drawn on it and almost self-created a Formation.

First, he determined the Formation's core and eye, and then...

Complex Spirit Seals continuously condensed from his hands, and through clever arrangement, they already began to take shape.

The next moment, a figure vaguely appeared in the center of the Spirit Array, its outline somewhat similar to Lu Bai's.

"It's done!"

Uncontrollable joy surged in Meng Lang's eyes!

He had managed to set up such a difficult Formation; he truly was...

A Formation Great Master!

However, just as the preliminary Formation was completed and even a Formation Spirit vaguely appeared, the next moment...

The light of the Spirit Seals maintaining the Formation rapidly dimmed, and their spiritual power seemed to be instantly depleted.

The Formation Spirit dissipated, the Formation crashed, which, at this moment, was equivalent to declaring failure.

"Sigh..."

Meng Lang took a deep breath, then exhaled it, slowly rising, disappointment spreading from his heart throughout his body.

His face even showed those two words.

"I failed."

Indeed...

Setting up the Vermillion Bird Spirit Array was due to the ingenious Formation diagram, and had nothing to do with his own talent.

"Lu Bai, I..."

Meng Lang's face was bitter.

"That's very impressive! This Formation already has a preliminary shape; it's just missing a little something," Lu Bai said, patting his shoulder in encouragement.

Perhaps it couldn't be like the Formations in the Spiritual Artifact Pool, allowing everyone to participate simultaneously on a large scale, but at this moment, it had met his most basic requirements.

"But that 'little something' is a hard-to-erase gap in talent; I really am still..."

Meng Lang shook his head.

"Perhaps you just need to change the way you construct the Spirit Seals..."

Lu Bai smiled slightly, then lightly tapped his finger.

A Spirit Seal condensed out of thin air in mid-air, imbued with profound fluctuations, somewhat similar to the already formed Formation.

"How can the way Spirit Seals are constructed be changed? This is the foundation of the Dao of Formations..."

Meng Lang said subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he froze in place, an expression of disbelief on his face.

He was stunned.

How could this Spirit Seal...

As a Formation Prodigy, he was incredibly familiar with Spirit Seals; they were the foundation of the Dao of Formations, everything for constructing Formations.

At the same time, the flaws of Spirit Seals were also extremely obvious: from the moment they were set up, they would uncontrollably begin to deplete, completely beyond the control of the Formation Master.

This was something even Meng Lang's teacher, a true Formation Great Master, could not achieve!

But now...

On the Spirit Seal Lu Bai had created before him, there seemed to be a thin membrane blocking it.

Allowing spiritual power to circulate within the Spirit Seal itself, preventing its consumption.

"This... this..." Meng Lang was utterly shocked.

As if realizing something, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face turned red.

Lu Bai's seemingly simple Spirit Seal might even change the current landscape of the Dao of Formations!
