One month later.
Ye Feng's closed eyes suddenly opened, full of exhaustion, but more of an excitement that could not be concealed. After a month of hard training and study, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the "Little Stars Formation" and successfully mastered its basic arrangement.
"It's time to practice."
Ye Feng stood up and came to a relatively open space outside the cave. He took out dozens of high-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag, as well as some prepared formation materials, such as star sand, magnetite, etc.
I saw him making secrets with his hands and muttering something in his mouth.
Blocks of high-grade spiritual stones shot out according to specific directions and sank into the ground. Immediately afterwards, the stars on his fingertips outlined a series of mysterious formation patterns, and penetrated into the spiritual stones and formation materials.
As the formation patterns continued to integrate, the spiritual stones and materials on the ground began to emit a faint starlight, and they seemed to have an inexplicable connection with each other.
In the air, strands of star power were pulled in and gathered within the range of the formation.
Ye Feng paid full attention to the whole process and did not dare to be careless at all.
This is the first time he has set up this "Little Star Fighting Formation". If there are any slight mistakes, the formation will be ineffective at worst, and the spiritual power will backfire.
About an hour later, when the last formation pattern penetrated, Ye Feng's forehead became slightly sweaty. He took a deep breath, pressed down his hands suddenly, and shouted: "Array up!"
Buzz!
With a soft cry, dozens of spiritual stones in the open space suddenly erupted into bright starlight. The light rose into the sky and intertwined into a misty star curtain, covering an area of dozens of feet in radius.
Within the formation, starlight circulated, and three hundred and sixty-five light points were vaguely visible, corresponding to the number of stars in the sky, and a vast and mysterious aura filled the air.
"It's done!" A hint of joy flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.
Although it is only a preliminary exercise, and the power of the formation is far from reaching the peak described in the book, the aura it exudes cannot be underestimated.
He can feel that in the formation, he can control the power of the stars more easily, and his combat power can be increased by at least 20%.
With a thought in his mind, Ye Feng tried to control the formation.
In the star curtain, the starlight suddenly gathered and turned into several sharp starlight swords, shooting towards a huge boulder he had preset.
Chi chi chi!
The Starlight Sword easily penetrated the hard boulder, leaving several bottomless holes.
"The power is pretty good. If it is used against the enemy, monks of the same level may be caught off guard and may not be able to do well." Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction. This is just a basic attack method. If it is combined with his star sword energy, the power will be even more amazing.
He was looking forward to this "Little Star Fighting Formation" more and more.
After collecting the formation, Ye Feng adjusted his breath slightly, and then thought of the mysterious old man in the Demon Locking Tower.
The last time the Demon Locking Tower moved, the old man once said that the demons in the tower were restless, which seemed to be related to the lack of some kind of power. I have just started to learn the art of battle. If I can get some advice from him, I may be able to make greater progress. I can also inquire about the Demon Locking Tower.
After making up his mind, Ye Feng left the cave and went straight to the Demon Locking Tower.
In the Demon Locking Tower.
Ye Feng stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Junior Ye Feng, hello to my senior."
The old man didn't even raise his eyelids, but just let out a soft "hmm" from his nostrils as a response.
Ye Feng didn't take it seriously either. He had long been used to this senior's weird temperament.
He thought for a while and went straight to the point: "Senior, I have studied the 'Xiao Zhu Tian Xing Formation' for more than a month and gained a little bit. However, many of the changes are still obscure, so I came here to ask senior for advice."
"Oh? Please tell me, what is unclear." The old voice did not contain any waves.
Ye Feng was overjoyed!
He explained to the old man in detail the confusions he encountered at several key points when he was about to comprehend the formation, as well as his understanding of the changes in the formation.
The old man listened quietly without interrupting.
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes. A strange light shone in those turbid eyes at this moment.
"Your understanding is not bad, and you are able to understand this formation to such an extent." The old man said with approval in his tone, "The core of the small star formation is to mobilize the star power of the surrounding sky and turn it into your own use. Your understanding of the layout of the base and the basic formation pattern is acceptable, but you still lack a lot of skills in terms of formation eye transformation, star power resonance, and virtual and actual changes."
As he spoke, the old man stretched out his withered fingers and sketched them in the air a few times.
The seemingly simple movements seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth. Several mysterious trajectories appeared out of thin air, which were exactly the nodes of the formation that Ye Feng had previously puzzled over.
"The way of formation lies in one mind, where the heart goes, and where the power goes. The movement of stars seems complicated, but in fact it is orderly. You need to observe the stars and understand their laws to understand their true meaning." The old man said.
Ye Feng carefully looked at the trajectory outlined by the old man and listened to his instructions. He suddenly felt enlightened, and many things that he had not figured out before suddenly became clear. The old man broke through the bottleneck of his comprehension for several days with just a few words.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice!" Ye Feng bowed again sincerely. This senior's attainments in formations are simply unfathomable.
The old man waved his hand, seeming to be a little disinterested: "It's just some superficial principles. Your kid has the origin of dragon soul and strong spiritual consciousness. If you are willing to work hard on the formation, your achievements in the future will be limitless."
After a pause, the old man changed the subject, and looked into the depths of the Demon Locking Tower with his turbid eyes, saying solemnly: "You kid is here. It just so happened that you noticed the strange movement in the Demon Locking Tower last time. The demonic energy in the tower is getting stronger and stronger, especially the old demons, who are becoming more and more restless."
Ye Feng was moved in his heart and asked: "Senior, I dare to ask, what is the root cause of this strange movement in the Demon Locking Tower? Is there a solution?"
The old man was silent for a moment and sighed: "The root cause is that the power of suppression has weakened. The Demon Locking Tower itself is built with a supreme formation to attract the energy of the earth and suppress the demons. But over thousands of years, the spirituality of the sacred object used to neutralize the demonic energy at the core of the formation has been exhausted."
"Sacred object?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes," the old man nodded, "a sacred object of the demon clan, called the "Blood Crystal". This object was formed by condensing the essence, blood and demon power of a demon clan master in ancient times after his death. It has a strong adsorbing and suppressing effect on demonic energy. In the past, the ancestor placed this stone in the formation to ensure the stability of the demonic tower for thousands of years. Now that the spiritual energy of this stone is exhausted, it will naturally not be able to suppress the growing demonic energy in the tower."
"The blood-colored crystal..." Ye Feng frowned, "What does the senior mean, if you want to completely quell the abnormal movement of the Demon Locking Tower, you need to find a new blood-colored crystal or a treasure with similar effects to replace it?"
The old man glanced at him approvingly. : "Children can be taught. That's right. It's just that these monster clan sacred objects are rare in the first place, and now they are almost extinct. If you want to find them, it is as difficult as going to the sky."
"Senior, does anyone know where it is possible to find this object?"
The old man's eyes were far away, as if he was reminiscing about something: "If the most likely place for the demon treasures to exist is the 'Ancient Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons'. It was the battlefield of the demon clan wars in ancient times, where countless powerful demon clans were buried and countless demon clan treasures were left behind. However, that place was extremely dangerous, and even if the Nascent Soul cultivator went deep into it, he would have a narrow escape."
