Chapter 321: The Third Stage of the star chart

"The Formation Domain Dao has a wide range of uses… generally known for Attack Formations, Defense Magic Arrays, Illusion Formations, Mountain-Guarding Formations, and so on…"

"Even if one's own Realm and strength are weak, using a Magic Array can allow the weak to overcome the strong…"

"Every Great Formation needs to be driven by spiritual power. Generally, Mountain-Guarding Formations and the like need Spirit Stones to maintain them, but… some special Magic Arrays can also be maintained and operated using Spiritual Items…"

"As well as some Great Formations naturally formed between heaven and earth…"

"…"

Elder Shi Pin is currently the strongest Formation Master in the Jixian Sect. Logically, the lessons she teaches should be extremely profound.

But at this moment, her explanation was very concise and easy to understand.

And what she was explaining was only the introductory common knowledge of the Formation Domain Lineage.

It was fine at first, but later on, a group of Disciples became somewhat confused.

Especially the Disciples of Zhenyu Peak; they couldn't understand why Peak Master Elder Shi Pin's lecture today had become so simple…

It was all common knowledge; rather than a public lecture, it was more like an initiation for ignorant newcomers.

Nangong Lingxuan, who was beside Xiao Fan, also looked puzzled; she couldn't understand what was going on either.

In the past, Peak Master Elder Shi Pin's lectures were never like this.

But why had it become like this today?

Confused, she turned her gaze toward Xiao Fan beside her…

She found that he was listening with great interest…

Occasionally nodding, showing an expression of "so that's how it is."

Suddenly, she understood something…

After all that, Elder Shi Pin had deliberately lowered the difficulty of the lecture just for Xiao Fan.

At first, Xiao Fan wasn't clear about Elder Shi Pin's intentions.

But later on, he realized it himself.

He also knew this was the other party's goodwill.

He had been worried before because he had absolutely no prior understanding of Formations, and he hadn't attended Elder Shi Ji's lectures while in the Outer Sect.

If he participated directly in the Inner Sect's Formation lectures, would he be unable to understand…

As it turned out…

Elder Shi Pin was truly too thoughtful.

Xiao Fan listened very seriously. Elder Shi Pin's attainment in Formations was beyond doubt; explaining this introductory knowledge was as simple as could be for her.

Coupled with the fact that Xiao Fan possessed an Enlightenment Seed, his comprehension and learning abilities weren't only reflected in the Alchemy Lineage.

Learning the Formation Branch was the same.

Gradually, time passed bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

Xiao Fan felt that he had benefited greatly…

And at this moment…

The star chart on his chest vibrated…

A burning sensation came from the star chart.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Fan's brow furrowed.

Again?

Last time, during Jiang Yushan's class in the Outer Sect, the star chart had been like this too…

That time, his star chart opened the second stage, and he obtained the Enlightenment Seed.

Now, it actually had such a reaction again.

Although he was in class right now…

What could be more important than the star chart?

Xiao Fan slowly closed his eyes, and his Divine Soul entered the star chart.

In the hall outside, he was standing far at the back, with no one else near him except Nangong Lingxuan.

Unless a Disciple specifically turned back to look at him, it would be impossible to notice his abnormality.

And as for Elder Shi Pin, even if she noticed, she probably wouldn't call him out.

After his Divine Soul entered the star chart.

Countless stars shone, seemingly arranged into a vast and boundless pattern.

But because it was too far away, Xiao Fan couldn't see the full picture.

"This is…"

Just as Xiao Fan was lost in thought, a surge of majestic memories suddenly flooded into his mind.

This memory was so massive that Xiao Fan's mind instantly went blank…

His body instantly lost control… and he slumped onto the ground…

His eyes were hollow…

The massive memory was undergoing Fusion with his own memories in his mind.

Being absorbed by him…

The sudden influx of memories made Xiao Fan feel intense pain.

To him, it felt as long as several days had passed.

But in reality, only a few breaths had gone by…

A moment later…

Xiao Fan shook his head… clearing his mind.

There was confusion on his face, but as the two types of memories merged, he gradually regained his senses.

"The third stage of the star chart… the Formation Domain Dao."

Xiao Fan murmured… a brilliant light gradually shining in his eyes…

The star chart opened in stages. The first stage involved Xiao Fan using his own strength to shatter various stars and obtain Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Stones, and other treasures from within.

After the second stage opened, it was the Alchemy Lineage. Currently, Xiao Fan had only opened the first star.

The stars of the Alchemy Lineage could only be shattered as his own Alchemy attainment increased.

Currently, Xiao Fan had only opened the first star of the second stage.

And this third stage…

Was the Formation Domain Lineage…

It would advance through different levels of comprehension and attainment in Formation Domains…

Xiao Fan slowly stood up, his right hand forming a hand-blade and slicing across his left palm…

Blood from his palm dripped onto the ground…

Suddenly, rumbling sounds echoed all around within the star chart…

Countless stars vibrated…

Xiao Fan's expression held no fear; instead, he was extremely excited.

Because he knew this was the sign of the third stage opening!
