Chapter 85
The path of formations is said to encompass all things. The highest level uses heaven and earth as the formation, while the lower level uses human effort. The Seven Stars Sword Formation used by the Seven Heroes of Wudang was just a small experiment by Ning Changge.
In fact, he has spent more effort on the path of formations than on alchemy, artifacts, and talismans combined. The path of formations is vast, and Ning Changge has only just begun to create basic formations. The seven formation flags that vanished into the void to connect with the power of the stars were just a rudimentary method.
Strictly speaking, this wasn’t even a true formation. However, Ning Changge wasn’t worried. With the foundation of the “True Explanation of Minor Formations,” further understanding would be much simpler. Creating something from nothing is the hardest part. Once the most difficult step is completed, the subsequent efforts have a clear direction.
Moreover, Ning Changge already had an idea. “I can create in two directions now,” he thought. “One is the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the other is the Sword Formation.”
His eyes sparkled with excitement, as these were the directions he had been contemplating. The Spirit Gathering Formation could help increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment, making future cultivation easier. The Sword Formation could further develop the destructive power of his three spiritual swords.
Deciding to strike while the iron was hot, Ning Changge planned to combine the mysteries of the Big Dipper with the Spirit Gathering Formation while the inspiration from creating the “True Explanation of Minor Formations” was still fresh.
His eyes gleamed with spiritual light as he observed the celestial phenomena, looking up at the sky. The myriad stars reflected in his eyes, and before he knew it, the sun and moon had disappeared, leaving only the Big Dipper shining brightly.
“The Big Dipper consists of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang,” he recited. “The heavens have seven stars, the earth has seven peaks, and humans have seven orifices. They correspond to each other!”
“If heaven, earth, and humans can resonate, they can draw infinite star power!”
The scriptures he had read flowed through Ning Changge’s mind, with records and descriptions of the Big Dipper coming to the forefront. A series of inspirations flickered in his mind.
The once-distant Big Dipper began to feel incredibly close to Ning Changge, as if resonating with his seven orifices. The Celestial Phenomena Spirit Refining Technique and the Celestial Phenomena Body Refining Technique began to operate on their own, even before the formation was created. These techniques were enhanced, drawing in star power even more abundantly!
Ning Changge rode the wind, ascending to the sky. The resonance between the distant stars and himself reached a new level, and his entire body radiated starlight, like a celestial being descending.
He looked down at Tianzhu Peak and quickly identified the corresponding seven peaks around it. Although not perfect, they were sufficient for his purposes. The seven stars, seven peaks, and seven orifices all corresponded.
His mind surged with inspiration, and his eyes grew brighter. He reached out, summoning the Mountain and River Spirit Gathering Furnace, which floated in the void. The effect of gathering spiritual energy was unmatched by this natural spirit-gathering stone.
In the past, Ning Changge had studied the Mountain and River Spirit Gathering Furnace many times, gaining much inspiration. Now, with the power of the Big Dipper guiding him, he saw it in a new light. The essence of the spirit-gathering stone began to manifest, and he analyzed it bit by bit.
As the moon set and the sun rose, repeating the cycle, Ning Changge hovered in the sky for three days before finally gaining enlightenment.
…
[You have drawn the power of the Big Dipper, comprehended the resonance of the seven stars, seven peaks, and seven orifices, deeply analyzed the miraculous effects of the Mountain and River Spirit Gathering Furnace, and understood the essence of spirit gathering. ]
[You have combined the guidance of the seven stars with the essence of spirit gathering to create the celestial formation, the Seven-Star Spirit Gathering Formation!]
…
He couldn’t help but laugh aloud, his laughter echoing through the heavens, drawing countless gazes.
“Hey look!! , It’s the Little Junior Brother!”
“It’s the Little Martial Uncle!”
“Could that be the Little Immortal?!”
At this moment, the people on Tianzhu Peak finally noticed Ning Changge standing high in the sky. His radiance had concealed him, but his laughter revealed his presence.
“What is Little Junior Brother doing up there? Could he have gained some new insight?” Song Yuanqiao and the others speculated, guessing from Ning Changge’s heartfelt laughter. Ning Changge was always like this; the only thing that could make him laugh so heartily was achieving something in the Dao. He never cared if others saw him in such moments of joy
.
They couldn’t help but feel excited. The Seven Heroes of Wudang, along with the visitors to Wudang, all looked up, their hearts filled with various speculations. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Many people came and went from Wudang, but few had the chance to see Ning Changge. He spent most of his time in the Sutra Pavilion, diligently cultivating, rarely meeting outsiders. For those who could see even Ning Changge’s silhouette, it was considered extremely fortunate.
Then, they saw Ning Changge take action. With his hands behind his back, even in broad daylight, he was surrounded by the power of starlight, dazzling and radiant, competing with the sun, like an ancient celestial being on a journey.
Ning Changge’s lips curled into a smile. He had created the Seven-Star Spirit Gathering Formation and was ready to seize this opportunity to set up the grand formation, transforming Wudang into a spiritual land!
