Peerless Sword God

In the small courtyard.

Lin Chen held an old book and looked at it with relish.

This book records Yan Lao's decades of research on the art of battle. There are more than a hundred kinds of formations on it, from simple Qi gathering formations to complex chain attack formations, all are recorded, and every formation recorded in it has Yan Lao's research experience on it.

With Yan Lao's experience, Lin Chen seemed quite relaxed.

"The formation is composed of formation eyes and formation flags. Some formations also require formation disks. Different formation eyes, formation flags and formation disks will produce different formations."

Lin Chen thought to himself, "There are three types of formations. One is the psychedelic formation, which is used to trap people. The general psychedelic formation can trap warriors below the true Dao realm. The powerful psychedelic formation can trap even those who are holding it." There is nothing that Yuanjing warriors can do. There are many types of psychedelic formations, such as formations that can enhance the strength of warriors."

In fact, the Qi Gathering Formation is also a type of psychedelic formation.

"The second type is the teleportation array. As the name suggests, the teleportation array is used for teleportation. However, there are not many formation masters who can set up the teleportation array. To arrange the teleportation array, extremely precious attribute spiritual stones are needed to provide energy. "

There are many types of teleportation arrays, including short-distance teleportation formations, long-distance teleportation formations, and even random formations. For example, the stone platform in the inheritance hall is a small teleportation array.

"The third type is the attack formation! This type of formation attack is extremely powerful. It is said that there was a formation master in ancient times who arranged an attack formation to kill the king of life and death."

The attack formation is much more difficult and complicated to set up than the first two formations, but it is also surprisingly powerful. Moreover, the formation master arranges the psychedelic formation and the attack formation at the same time. If a formation master uses the formation to trap him, then unless the person can quickly break the formation, he will have to suffer on the spot. . After all, the formation's attacks are continuous. Even if it can't kill the people inside for a while, it will still exhaust him to death.

The more Lin Chen read this formation book, the more he felt the vastness of the formations. The complexity of some formations was unbelievable. Even if Lin Chen's soul power was strong, he was still a little dizzy at the moment.

"No wonder Yan Lao said that after spending decades, he could only comprehend a scratch of the formation method."

Lin Chen shook his head. Except for old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, it is impossible for ordinary young people to study the art of formation. After all, if you want to become famous by studying the art of formation, it is impossible without decades. .

Similarly, Lin Chen is no exception. Although his soul power is strong and he has Yan Lao's experience in studying formations, it is impossible for him to understand anything about formations in a short while. When he read this book this time, he only had some understanding of formations and was able to distinguish the difference between formations.

"Next time, I have to get a set of formation equipment and try to arrange a simple formation." Lin Chen glanced at the book in his hand, turned his hand over, and put the book away, "The research on the formation method is not something that happens overnight. That’s it for today, it’s time to practice the Hidden Qi Technique.”

Taking out the secret book of Hidden Qi Art, Lin Chen once again immersed himself in studying it.

Compared to the Tao of Formation, Hidden Qi Jue is now more useful to Lin Chen. After all, it would take Lin Chen more than ten years or even decades to develop a powerful formation. Now it has no effect on him at all. On the contrary, once the Hidden Qi Art is successfully practiced, it will be able to hide Lin Chen's aura. As long as If the enemy's cultivation level is no more than two levels higher than Lin Chen's, then the battle will have unexpected effects.

Hidden Qi Jue is an earth-level high-level auxiliary martial skill, which is quite difficult to practice.

However, Lin Chen's soul power has greatly increased since merging with the black mist in the inheritance hall, and his comprehension has also improved a lot. In less than half an hour, Lin Chen had read all the Hidden Qi Jue, and he still had some insights in his mind.

"Sure enough, it's amazing. The Hidden Qi Jue is actually performed based on this principle."

After reading the secret book of Hidden Qi Technique, Lin Chen couldn't help but admire it.

If it were anyone else, it would have taken several days or even months to just figure out the principle of using the Hidden Qi Technique. However, Lin Chen had a strong understanding, and half an hour was enough for him to understand.

The principle of this Hidden Qi Technique is to use the true energy or true energy of the Dantian to compress a small point in the body, and then the remaining true energy or true energy wraps the ball, making it impossible for outsiders to detect the practitioner's true cultivation level.

"The key point is this small point. It is not difficult to make the true energy compress a ball in the Dantian, but the important thing is to compress it to an extremely small level. Only in this way will the enemy not be able to detect it."

Lin Chen pondered in his heart. In Lin Chen's opinion, the principle of Hidden Qi Jue is not very complicated, but it is a bit difficult to do it. After all, this ball is not a big snowball, but a condensed true essence. For ordinary warriors, it takes a little effort. Time can compress the true essence into a ball, but how can it be compressed into a small point?

As we all know, after the true energy is converted into true essence, its density is very high, and it is very difficult to compress it. It's like compressing the water in the ocean into a glass of water, which is incredible.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen crossed his legs on the bed and began to try to compress the true essence of his Dantian.

He released his soul power into his dantian and began to compress the true energy in his dantian. It seems that the Dantian is just a part of the human body, but in fact, it is a space of its own. As soon as Lin Chen's soul power entered it, he easily compressed two-thirds of the true energy into a ball ten feet high.

"Keep compressing."

Without stopping, Lin Chen continued to control the compression of true energy.

The sphere shrank from ten feet to nine feet. With the control of soul power, Lin Chen had no difficulty in compressing it.

Eight feet, seven feet,

...

Two feet, one and a half feet, one foot!

When the sphere was compressed to ten feet, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little pressure. The sphere felt like it was breaking. If it broke, then all efforts would fail.

"According to the record in the Hidden Qi Jue, if you practice successfully, you must at least compress your true essence to the size of a fist, otherwise you can't successfully hide your cultivation." Lin Chen thought to himself.

The record in the Hidden Qi Jue is very clear that the true essence must be compressed to the size of a fist. Now, even though Lin Chen's soul power is strong and his control is strong, he has already felt pressure when he compressed his true essence to ten feet. It is conceivable how difficult it would be for other warriors to practice this Hidden Qi Jue.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen continued to compress the sphere in his dantian. As Lin Chen continued to compress, the sphere was slowly shrinking. After a short while, the sphere was finally only one meter high. However, Lin Chen did not dare to continue compressing it until now, because he felt that as long as he compressed the sphere by one centimeter, the sphere would explode immediately!

If the sphere exploded, not only would the cultivation fail, but it would also likely injure the Dantian. The consequences of Dantian injury are very serious. At the least, it will be a serious injury, and it will be difficult to make progress in cultivation. At the worst, the cultivation of a lifetime will be scrapped, and the person will become a useless person from then on.

"This Hidden Qi Jue is so dangerous to practice." Lin Chen smiled bitterly. As soon as he released his soul power, the sphere in the Dantian suddenly disappeared like a deflated balloon.

Shaking his head, Lin Chen began to think about the reason. Since there is a secret book of Hidden Qi Jue, then someone must have successfully practiced this secret book. It makes no sense that the Dantian Zhenyuan cannot be compressed.

With a flip of his hand, he took out the Hidden Qi Jue secret book again and read it. This time, Lin Chen looked more carefully and split the text in the Hidden Qi Jue. This time, Lin Chen saw a hint of mystery.

"There is actually a mind method diagram!"

Lin Chen was surprised. There was a mind method diagram hidden in the secret book of the Hidden Qi Jue. Of course, it was not a picture, but text. What surprised him was that the mind method diagram was hidden with text, as if he didn't want people to see it.

"It's really dangerous. If I had compressed it forcibly just now, I would probably explode and die." Lin Chen was still frightened. The person who created the Hidden Qi Jue was too insidious to come up with such a weird trick.

However, Lin Chen found this mind method diagram, and it would be much easier to practice the Hidden Qi Jue. The mind method diagram of the Hidden Qi Jue is to circulate the Dantian Zhenyuan in different meridians in the body, and then return to the Dantian after circulation. The mystery is that it will be much easier to compress after circulation. As long as the warriors with a little control can practice successfully.

Lin Chen's soul power is strong and his control is extremely powerful. With this mental diagram, it is easy for Lin Chen to practice the Hidden Qi Jue. It is not difficult at all.

In a moment, two-thirds of the true energy in Dantian was compressed into a sphere slightly smaller than a fist.

Then, Lin Chen followed the method of the Hidden Qi Jue and covered the sphere with the remaining one-third of the true energy. With the completion of this last step, Lin Chen's aura suddenly dropped to the level of the middle stage of Tiangang Realm.

"It really works!" Lin Chen was delighted.

He moved his mind and released the compressed sphere, and then compressed it into a fist-sized sphere again. However, unlike the last time, this time Lin Chen compressed more than two-thirds of the true energy, leaving less than one-third of the total true energy.

This time, Lin Chen's cultivation aura dropped directly to the early stage of Tiangang Realm.

"Huh"

Lin Chen smiled, "With this Hidden Qi Jue, I can control my cultivation level from the early stage of Tiangang Realm to the peak of Tiangang Realm."

"However, I will still control my cultivation level at the peak of Tiangang Realm. After all, many people know that my cultivation level is at the peak of Tiangang Realm. If I suddenly become the early stage of Tiangang Realm, it will arouse others' suspicion."

Immediately, Lin Chen compressed the true essence in Dantian again, and suddenly, his cultivation level changed from the early stage of Zhendao Realm to the peak of Tiangang Realm.

To reduce the cultivation level to the peak of Tiangang Realm, unless the other party's cultivation level is two levels higher than Lin Chen, for example, Lin Chen is now in the early stage of Zhendao Realm, others must be at least in the late stage of Zhendao Realm before they can see Lin Chen's true cultivation level.

After feeling that there was no abnormal movement in Dantian, Lin Chen picked up a fine steel sword and came to the courtyard to practice swordsmanship.

Two months passed in a flash. During these two months, Lin Chen stayed in the courtyard every day to practice hard. In the morning, he would spend two hours studying the way of formation, practice swordsmanship in the afternoon, and take pills to practice in the evening. Of course, the pills that Lin Chen is taking now were obtained from Wang Dong and others. The pills in their hands are most suitable for warriors in the True Dao Realm. At this moment, Lin Chen's cultivation has just broken through to the initial stage of the True Dao Realm and can take them.

That afternoon, Lin Chen was practicing sword in the courtyard. At this time, the Seventh Elder came over with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. The reason why geniuses are better than others is that they have better qualifications, but diligence is also very important."

Lin Chen touched his nose and smiled.

The Seventh Elder suddenly looked serious and said, "Lin Chen, this time I came here to inform you that the Supreme Elder wants you to go there immediately."

"Summon?" Lin Chen was stunned and looked at the Seventh Elder in confusion. He had just summoned him two months ago. Why did the Supreme Elder come to inform him again and summon him now?
