106: The Essence of the Formation

Among them, the most numerous were the Tier 1 High Grade Talismans known as Small Thunder Talismans, and now their numbers were well over ten thousand.

As a large amount of electric light began to flash, this world also changed accordingly; dark clouds began to gather, and muffled thunder rumbled, as the power of the world changed under the influence of the Martial Dao Divine Paragon.

"Boom!"

"Crack! Bang!"

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, an incredibly dazzling bolt of lightning directly descended from the sky, striking Gu Chang's enormous Martial Dao Divine Paragon.

But in the next moment, this terrifying lightning power was forcibly controlled by him, condensing into a lightning spear!

"Go!"

Then Gu Chang abruptly waved his hand, and the lightning spear in his hand directly pierced the dark sky, exploding within the dark clouds!

"Thunder, the change of Yin and Yang, the pivot of Heaven and Earth..."

Gu Chang had long been accustomed to the power of lightning and electricity. Whether it was when he used this power to Breakthrough, or later when he was studying the Small Thunder Talisman, he had experienced it over and over again.

However, this was the first time he truly controlled this power, using the Small Thunder Talismans inscribed on the Martial Dao Divine Paragon to draw upon the power of the world, and successfully borrowing this powerful force as his means of attack!

This was the greatest trump card Gu Chang now held in his hand!

"Rumble! Bang!"

"Crack!"

After the lightning spear exploded, the dark clouds remained, followed by even denser and more powerful lightning bolts that began to descend from the sky, striking fiercely towards Gu Chang!

"Rumble!"

"Hahaha!"

"Good timing!"

Shining silver snakes encircled the Martial Dao Divine Paragon. Most of this power was controlled by Gu Chang, while the other part directly transformed into his defensive power, continuously striking everything around him.

When his four wings unfolded, the dazzling lightning spread across every feather, making him seem like a god who commanded thunder, drawing upon every bit of lightning's power.

After a long while, Gu Chang finally settled down. These exercises he performed were merely to enhance his mastery of True Qi Talismans and his comprehension of the power of the world.

Now, these insights were sufficient, so the Martial Dao Divine Paragon dissipated directly. A massive amount of True Qi, under his control, began to condense, forming a Tier 1 Low Grade Formation from his memory!

Of course, this step was similar to when he first started researching True Qi Talismans; it did not go smoothly and required him to try, improve, and research repeatedly before it could possibly succeed.

"The Dao of Formation is more closely connected to Heaven and Earth. Aside from consuming the power of Spirit Stones, the most crucial aspect is borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth!"

"This set of Small Wu Earth Formation belongs to the simplest Tier 1 Low Grade among all Formations; it only has three Formation Flags."

"If it were in the real world, as long as the Formation Flags and Formation Plate were refined and then arranged on the ground, they would be able to function."

"However, it's clear that these conditions don't exist here. I can only use my True Qi to replace Spiritual Qi, magical power, and the Formation Flags and Formation Plate."

Gu Chang thought carefully while experimenting. He had already conducted extensive research on the differences between True Qi and Spiritual Qi/magical power. The current focus was on completing the conversion between the two.

"What truly functions within Formation Flags and Formation Plates are the Formation Markings. These special patterns are somewhat similar to Talismans and serve to transform magical power into the power of Heaven and Earth."

"Therefore, my true goal should be to use True Qi to simulate the Formation Markings, and then use the power of True Qi to replicate the effect of the Formation."

"If I can succeed, perhaps in the future, I can even combine Formation Markings and Talismans, allowing Talismans to form Formations..."

Due to his previous research, Gu Chang immediately grasped the essence of Formations. After stripping away various other interferences, he focused all his energy on the study of Formation Markings.

Through repeated simulations and evolutions with True Qi, Gu Chang gradually found some clues. He was slowly able to reproduce the power of Formations through True Qi.

However, this level could not be considered a true Formation; it could only be considered an incomplete Formation. Only by integrating these Formation Markings into Heaven and Earth, allowing them to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth, would it be considered a true success.

A few days later, Gu Chang made significant progress in his research on Formations, so he chose to immediately return to the imperial palace. Next, he needed more and more detailed research on Qiankun Yin and Yang and the Five Elements' transformations.

Just like that, two months quickly passed in the Reincarnation World. Exotic beast cubs from all directions were continuously sent to Gu Chang.

After his careful selection, a total of six exotic beast cubs were kept.

These six cubs were a Golden Winged Giant Eagle chick, an Iron Skin Giant Ape cub, a Mist Mountain Iron Snake hatchling, a Black Armor Iron Crocodile juvenile, a Shadow Forest Cat cub, and a Black Gold Beetle larva.

These six exotic beast cubs, plus a White Wolf King cub, made a total of seven exotic beast cubs. For Gu Chang, this was enough; if there were more, he probably wouldn't be able to raise them all.

Moreover, these cubs included flying, swimming, and land-dwelling types, making them well-rounded and adaptable to various environments. Their combat power would not be weak once they grew up.

After making all preparations, Gu Chang still tied these exotic beast cubs to himself, then simply and decisively used True Qi to destroy his own brain, ending this Reincarnation.

"True Martial Great Dao, both divine and physical, unparalleled in combat, dominating the world!"

"This Reincarnation evaluation: Ding Shang"

"This Reincarnation reward: 12"

"You have 347 Reincarnation Points. You can use Reincarnation Points to exchange for: True Martial Divine Supreme Skill (0 points), Blood Talisman (0 points), White Wolf King Cub (15 points), Golden Winged Giant Eagle Chick (14 points), Iron Skin Giant Ape Cub (18 points), Mist Mountain Iron Snake Hatchling (11 points), Black Armor Iron Crocodile Juvenile (16 points), Shadow Forest Cat Cub (15 points), Black Gold Beetle Larva (7 points)"

"I didn't expect these little things to be so expensive?"

When Gu Chang saw the exchange prices for the exotic beast cubs, he couldn't help but exclaim. Fortunately, he still had enough Reincarnation Points left from before; otherwise, he would only be able to exchange for a few of them.

After spending a total of 96 Reincarnation Points, Gu Chang suddenly had seven exotic beast cubs around him.

"Woof woof!"

"Chirp chirp!"

"Hiss~ hiss~"

"..."

Suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment, the exotic beast cubs immediately started crying uneasily.

Especially the smarter White Wolf King cub, Iron Skin Giant Ape, Shadow Forest Cat, and Golden Winged Giant Eagle, they even let out sounds similar to threats.

"All of you, behave!"

However, Gu Chang didn't care about that. He simply released a bit of his Aura, and immediately, all these exotic beast cubs quieted down.

Then Gu Chang immediately began to arrange their living and activity issues.

The White Wolf King cub could basically be raised like a dog. This type of exotic beast has absolute obedience to the strong. He had raised a White Wolf King for ten years in the Reincarnation World, so he was very familiar with this type of exotic beast.
