Chapter 105 Four Spirits
"Yes." Everyone nodded helplessly.
They felt Chu Zhiyuan's carelessness.
Yaoyue Palace and Jiuli Shen Sect are the four major demon sects, the top sects in the world, but they don't seem to be that important in the eyes of the prince.
Perhaps only the prince has such courage.
After all, no matter how powerful the four demon sects are, they will not easily provoke the prince.
The prince is not worried about them, but those evil sects. Those monsters don't care whether he is the prince or not, and some of the evil sects are specifically targeting the prince.
"Your Majesty, if you got the token from Yaoyue Palace, what would you ask for?" Guo Chi asked.
Gao Jiong and the others suddenly became interested.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I... asked them to send a few grandmasters as bodyguards."
"Your Majesty, our four grandmasters, plus Manager Zou, make us five grandmasters. Isn't that enough?" Guo Chi said with a smile.
The other princes or princes only have two grandmasters, and no more than four.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "As for the guards, the more, the better."
In resurrecting his life, he wanted to become a great master, live a long life, and enjoy glory and wealth. It would be too unfair if he was harmed by demons from the evil sect or plotted against by others in the middle of his life.
The more powerful the guard, the better.
The stronger the guard, the more peaceful one's heart will be.
Concentration leads to tranquility, tranquility leads to wisdom, and wisdom leads to communication.
The speed of practice will be faster.
"By the way, how is your battle formation training going?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
The four of them suddenly looked embarrassed.
They originally thought that this battle formation was similar to the battle formation in the army. All the soldiers could practice it, and of course the four of them, as masters, could also practice it.
As a result, after practicing for a few days, I made no progress and couldn't figure out the way.
I blush when I say it.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Is this Four Spirit Formation too difficult?"
"Your Majesty, are we stupid?" Gao Jiong said.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "You are the master."
This Four Spirit Formation was one of the most powerful formations that he carefully selected in Tongtian Pavilion and Mingwu Palace. Of course, it was unheralded because it was difficult to get started.
The existence of super sense makes him most suitable for this type of technique.
The more subtle and mysterious the technique is, the more difficult it is to get started, and the easier it is to pass it on forever.
There are too many factors that affect entry into the practice. If the factors change even slightly, entry will no longer be possible, and then the practice will decline precipitously and eventually become extinct.
Of course, the Four Spirit Formation is also most suitable for four people.
The four figures have different appearances. Guo Chi is a black bear, Gao Jiong is a white ape, Ji Dongxiao is a green snake, and Sun Yanwu is a goshawk.
The power of the Small Four Elephant Formation is much inferior, the power of the Little Xuanyuan Formation is not good, the Little Terma Formation is not so suitable, and the most suitable one is this Four Spirits Formation.
The Four Spirit Array is indeed extremely difficult to get started with.
The most important level and the iron threshold is the position.
Precise positioning, coupled with exquisite footwork, once you get started, you will be able to connect with each other, and you can understand each other's thoughts just by connecting with each other's breath.
"That's it. When I get back, I'll help you practice."
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't believe I can help?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Guo Chi said: "We are idlers. Master, you are too busy."
He has to go to the Mingwu Hall, then to the Rites Yamen to handle some chores, and then to the new residence to practice. At noon, he has to go back to the palace for lunch. In the afternoon, he usually stays in the palace to continue practicing.
In short, compared to their leisure, the prince is very busy.
"No matter how busy you are, you can't miss this moment." Chu Zhiyuan said.
"...Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty." Guo Chi was no longer polite.
All four are hopeful.
Although he is a master, he may soon be surpassed by his son as a master.
I have seen with my own eyes the speed of the prince's progress, his high level of understanding, and his high qualifications, which are unprecedented.
Even if the current emperor is the best among all the emperors in history, his cultivation progress in his youth may not be as good as that of the prince.
——
Tingtao Courtyard
The sun has already risen to mid-air in the east, and the bright sunshine is shining on the green trees, green bamboos, and red flowers in the courtyard, which is so beautiful.
Chu Zhiyuan stood in the small pavilion with his hands behind his hands, just in the sunlight shining into the small pavilion.
The four of them were in the small martial arts training ground between the pavilion and a patch of green bamboo, bathing in the sunshine, high spirits, and ready to start practicing the Four Spirit Formation.
As soon as the four people stood up, Chu Zhiyuan said: "No, the position is wrong." The four people looked down at where they were standing and felt that they were standing correctly.
The position of the Four Spirit Formation is not square, but irregular in shape, round but not round, square but not square, with varying distances between them.
At first glance, it seems troublesome. They need to use a ruler to measure the distance between each person and the other three without any deviation.
They have worked hard these past few days and have perfected their respective positions.
As a master, I still have some understanding.
But Chu Zhiyuan said it was wrong as soon as he came up.
What Chu Zhiyuan saw was that they were all a little bit off, maybe only about a centimeter, but there was no difference at all if they wanted to get started with the Four Spirit Formation.
What's even more terrible is that this distance is not a fixed dead distance, but must be flexible, and everyone is different.
It changes according to the level of cultivation of each person, and changes according to the different mental methods of each person.
This is also the root cause of the Four Spirit Formation’s legacy.
Of course, after getting started, the first level is to penetrate the breath, and then you can consciously adjust it when forming a formation, and you can sense the shift in position through the breath.
With further refinement, there is no need to stand. No matter where you stand, as long as it does not exceed a certain range, you can form a formation.
Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward and pushed Guo Chi forward. Guo Chi was about to move but was stopped by him: "Don't move."
Guo Chi immediately remained motionless, letting Chu Zhiyuan move him like pushing a statue, followed by Ji Dongxiao with the Green Snake Dharma Appearance, then Gao Jiong with the White Ape Dharma Appearance, and finally Sun Yanwu with the Goshawk Dharma Appearance.
Chu Zhiyuan moved them again and nodded with satisfaction: "It's right this time, let's start."
He floated back to the pavilion, stood in the sunshine inside the pavilion, squinted his eyes and looked at them, watching them slowly perform their exercises.
Gang Qi emerged from the body surface and began to merge with each other. They quickly merged into one, forming a circle and connecting each other.
Chu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the void above them, and found that the four dharma images began to approach, getting closer and closer, and finally they were back to back.
Chu Zhiyuan admired secretly.
This is the famous Four Spirit Formation in ancient times. It turns out that the formation is actually Dharma, not just them!
As the Dharma balanced each other, the four people felt that their minds were vaguely connected and knew what each other was going to do. Then they saw the four of them advancing and retreating at the same time, just like the eight legs of one person.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, pawed in admiration.
The auras of the four people are connected, which means that any one person has to face the attacks of the four people, and also face the defense of the four people stacked together.
The protective aura is like armor. The formation of this formation is equivalent to wearing four layers of armor. Not to mention the attack power, the defense is much stronger.
This greatly increased his sense of security and made him smile broadly: "Congratulations, I've already started!"
"Haha... what a four-spirit formation!" Guo Chi couldn't help but laugh.
With the completion of the Four Spirit Formation, not only Chu Zhiyuan is safer, but the four of them are also safer. How can we not be happy about it.
Gao Jiong chuckled and said: "Old Ji, if my wife knows that we have accomplished this, she will be ecstatic."
Ji Dongxiao glanced at him sideways: "Lao Gao, shut your mouth."
Gao Jiong laughed twice, turned around and said: "The prince, it must be the prince!"
This time they fully realized the gap in understanding.
The four of them had practiced hard for several days together, but they were still not as good as Chu Zhiyuan giving some advice. This gap in understanding and qualifications shocked them.
I sighed in my heart: No wonder the prince entered the country so quickly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "After you enter the Four Spirit Array, there are two more levels, so you have to continue practicing."
The most difficult thing about the Four Spirit Array is getting started. Once you get started, the rest is hard work and slow work, which requires grinding bit by bit.
The second layer can form an array without standing in a specific location, and the third layer has a wider coverage area.
Under Chu Zhiyuan's gaze, the four of them practiced happily, and an hour passed unknowingly.
An hour is just a cup of tea to them.
Practicing the Four Spirits Formation does not feel boring at all, but is endless fun. They shuttle back and forth between each other, but they cooperate perfectly.
Then he tried to make a move and found that his cultivation level increased greatly and the power of his sword technique increased greatly.
This feeling makes them obsessed. After the formation stops, they feel lost and return to reality from beauty.
"Alas..."
The four of them sighed in unison, showing their disappointment.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at them with a smile, holding the flying dragon bone in his hand, with the flying dragon ball still on his chest. The third level of Dragon Transformation Technique was surging, and there was a hint of purple in the golden light of the bones.
Chu Zhiyuan speculated that the third level of perfection was the purple-gold skeleton. It was almost there now, and it was indeed entering the realm very quickly.
He discovered a pattern.
Ancient inheritance seems to focus on quick success.
Once you practice it correctly, you will make rapid progress, similar to magic skills.
Just like once the second level of Dragon Transformation Technique is mastered, it is impossible to slow down the progress of the third level. The twenty apertures accelerate together and cannot slow down.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Practice hard and strive to get to the next level."
