Chapter 191 Are You Convinced Now?
"Little sister!"
Yun Xiao's face suddenly changed. Seeing that the sword lights were bounced back by the formation, they became faster and more powerful. She immediately knew that her sister could not withstand this attack.
She turned into a rainbow light without hesitation and rushed towards Fairy Qiong Xiao.
At the same time, Fairy Qiong Xiao also hurriedly asked Lady Shiji to stop the formation, but saw that Yang Ling had already reached out leisurely and grabbed the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Handkerchief.
Under Yang Ling's personal control, the power of the formation was instantly weakened. Those sword lights seemed to have lost their backbone and quickly dissipated, turning into dots of light, and finally disappeared into thin air.
Fairy Bi Xiao stood there, stunned for a moment, and then seemed to wake up from a dream, with an unbelievable look on her face.
She almost said in a trembling voice: "This... What's going on? My attack was bounced back?"
Fairy Yunxiao looked at Yang Ling deeply, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The formation set up by Daoyou is indeed amazing. At the beginning, you just defended blindly, just to paralyze the opponent, so that the final counterattack can be effective in one fell swoop, right?"
Yang Ling nodded and said lightly: "This formation itself does not have the ability to counterattack, but it can turn the enemy's attack into its own use, and it can play an important role at a critical moment..."
"It's indeed a good method." Fairy Yunxiao nodded slightly, agreeing with the formation created by Yang Ling.
Fairy Qiongxiao on the side sighed softly. She knew that her sister Bixiao was very competitive, especially in the formation. She was full of confidence. Unexpectedly, she almost suffered a big loss this time!
However, this defeat can be regarded as a lesson, which may not be a bad thing for her.
At this time, a stubborn light flashed across Fairy Bixiao's face, as if she was very unwilling to fail just now.
She took a deep breath, readjusted her mood, and then turned to Yang Ling, with a flame of challenge in her eyes: "Daoyou dare to compete with me again?"
Yang Ling smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with calmness. He possessed the secret art of "grouping" and had a deep attainment in formations, so he would naturally not refuse such a challenge.
He nodded and asked gently: "What kind of competition do you want, Daoyou Bixiao?"
"I will set up the formation and let you break it." Fairy Bixiao answered straightforwardly, with a confident light in her eyes, "I won't take advantage of you. I will also use two days to set up the formation. See if you can find a flaw in the formation I set up."
The two fairies Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were a little worried when they heard their sister's words, but seeing Bixiao's firm eyes, they knew that she had made up her mind, so they did not dissuade her.
In fact, after seeing the mystery of the formation set up by Yang Ling, they were also slightly happy.
Two days passed in a flash. Under the careful arrangement of Fairy Bixiao, a large formation named "Starry Sky" was quietly arranged.
The materials were still provided by Lady Shiji, and the outer area of Skull Mountain was also arranged, but the distance was a little farther, and it did not affect the large formation arranged by Yang Ling.
This large formation is guided by the power of the stars, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and it is infinitely illusory. Even a master of formations cannot easily break it.
Yang Ling stood outside the formation, looking at the formation that was faintly flickering with starlight, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.
The three sisters are indeed masters who are proficient in the art of formations. Even the youngest Fairy Bixiao has set up a large formation alone, which is quite mysterious.
Fairy Bixiao stood in the formation, her eyes were full of expectation and confidence. She believed that the formation she set up was enough for Yang Ling to appreciate her power.
Yang Ling took a deep breath, and then walked slowly into the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation, he felt the starlight around him begin to rotate, the space seemed to be constantly twisting and changing, and a strange force was wandering around.
However, there was no panic on Yang Ling's face. He closed his eyes and began to sense the operation rules of the formation, trying to find a way to break it.
Seeing this, Fairy Bixiao couldn't help but get nervous.
She knew that Yang Ling was not a blindly arrogant person. Since he dared to break the formation, he must have a certain degree of confidence and preparation.
As time went by, Yang Ling's figure walked slowly in the formation. His steps seemed to echo the rhythm of the formation, and every step seemed so unhurried.
Fairy Bixiao watched nervously, and she found that Yang Ling seemed to be slowly finding the flaws of the formation.
With a light wave of his fingers, runes appeared in the air, echoing with the formation set up by Fairy Bixiao.
Countless array patterns were arranged and combined in the air, and in an instant, they combined into hundreds of millions of different changes.
Yang Ling's soul was scattered, like tens of thousands of computing cores working together, calculating the combination and changes of the formation, based on the experience of the "formation" secret, plus a lot of calculations and deductions.
As time passed, Yang Ling had unknowingly walked to the core area of the Starry Sky Formation.
He opened his eyes, and a jade slip suddenly appeared in his hand. He waved it lightly, and the jade slip turned into a stream of light, directly sinking into the core of the formation.
The next moment, the entire Starry Sky Formation began to tremble, the starlight gradually dissipated, and the illusory scene of the formation began to slowly collapse.
Fairy Bixiao looked at all this in amazement, she muttered in disbelief: "How could it be... my starry sky, just like this..."
Yang Ling turned around and smiled at Fairy Bixiao: "Fellow Daoist Bixiao's formation is indeed exquisite. I just broke it by luck."
Fairy Bixiao was even more dissatisfied when she heard this, and said unhappily: "If you lose, you lose. There is no need for you to pretend to be lucky..."
"Okay." Yang Ling smiled and said indifferently: "Fellow Daoist Bixiao, you lost this competition again.
How about it, do you want to continue?"
Fairy Bixiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart was full of shame and anger, but she didn't want to show too much inappropriateness in front of Yang Ling.
She bit her lower lip tightly and was about to speak, but she heard Fairy Qiongxiao next to her whispered: "Since my sister has been defeated twice, why not let me try.
Fellow Daoist Yang Ling, I just happened to comprehend a new formation recently. I wonder if you dare to break it?"
Yang Ling looked at Fairy Qiongxiao, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
He knew that among the three sisters, Fairy Yunxiao was the most powerful, Qiongxiao was the second, and Bixiao was the weakest... Now that he had defeated Bixiao, there was no reason for him to retreat in front of Qiongxiao.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and answered frankly: "Since Fellow Daoist Qiongxiao is willing to compete, how can I not follow your lead?
Fellow Daoist, please set up the formation."
Fairy Qiongxiao nodded and directly offered a formation diagram. With a flick of her finger, the formation diagram turned into a stream of light and flew over the East China Sea.
In an instant, the sky over the entire East China Sea changed, and a huge formation slowly unfolded under the gaze of everyone.
"This formation is called the 'Positive and Negative Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation'. It not only contains the mystery of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, but also incorporates the mystery of the transformation of yin and yang. It is unpredictable and powerful...
Fellow Daoist Yang Ling, be careful when entering the formation. If you encounter danger, just let me open the formation."
Fairy Qiongxiao reminded seriously, obviously very confident in her formation.
Yang Ling did not answer, but stood outside the formation, carefully observing the operation of the formation.
Although he had not yet entered the formation, he could already feel the complexity and exquisiteness of this formation, which was far beyond the Starry Sky Formation just now.
However, he did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but was faintly a little excited and excited.
It was the first time for him to discuss the art of formation without any scruples, without hatred or interests.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Ling turned into a rainbow light and fell directly into the formation.
Fairy Qiongxiao stood in one of the core areas of the formation, her eyes were fixed on Yang Ling, and she could not tell whether she was expecting or something else.
After Yang Ling entered the formation, he immediately appeared in a lush forest.
The trees were tall and straight, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and it was a scene full of vitality. He was moved in his heart. This was obviously the "wood" element in the five elements, which meant that the starting point of the formation was wood attribute.
Without much thought, Yang Ling summoned a long sword, and with a soft chant, the sword light was like water, pointing directly to the depths of the forest.
The sword is a metal tool, which is in line with the principle of "metal overcomes wood" of the five elements.
However, as soon as the tip of the sword touched the forest, Yang Ling's body felt a strong suction.
The next moment, his vision suddenly changed, and he found himself in the underwater world. Surrounded by endless waters, bubbles boiling in his ears, and fish swimming in front of him, he realized that he had come to the "water" element in the five elements.
This time, Yang Ling did not take action immediately, but pondered for a moment and decided to try to use the earth attribute to restrain the water attribute.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, formed seals with his hands, and recited the spell in his heart, trying to summon the power of the earth element.
However, when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he was standing in a blazing sea of fire.
The raging flames and the unbearable heat were the "fire" element in the five elements.
Yang Ling frowned, and his calculations were obviously wrong.
He didn't want to stay in the sea of fire for too long, so he quickly cast a spell and summoned a torrential rain, trying to overcome fire with water.
However, as soon as the rain fell, his figure disappeared in the sea of fire again. When he appeared again, he was in a mine full of crystal ore and the sound of metal knocking. This was the "gold" link in the five elements.
Yang Ling showed a bitter smile on his face. He realized that this "positive and negative yin and yang five elements array" was not as simple as the simple five elements of life and death.
This big array seemed to counter his actions in an unexpected way every time he tried to break it.
He took a deep breath, and no longer rushed to break the array. Instead, he calmed down, closed his eyes again, and began to sense the operation of the big array, trying to find a clue of regularity from this seemingly chaotic change.
Time passed quietly in Yang Ling's meditation. His consciousness wandered in the big array, silently thinking about the role of the five elements in the array.
First, this formation is both offensive and defensive. It can automatically adjust the output of the positive and negative five elements according to the enemy's attributes and attack methods to form the best defense or counterattack strategy.
Second, the formation can adapt to changes - the positive and negative five elements can be freely converted within the formation, allowing the formation to adapt to various combat environments and opponents.
Also, the positive and negative five elements within this formation should be able to transform into each other to form an energy cycle, which can theoretically be infinitely circulated unless the formation is forcibly destroyed by external forces.
Yang Ling was like an insect trapped in a spider web in the formation. No matter how he struggled, he seemed unable to find the clue to freedom.
He frowned and tried various ways to break the formation, but all ended in failure.
Outside the formation, Fairy Bixiao watched Yang Ling keep trying and failing in the formation, and couldn't help but admire:
"Second sister's formation skills are indeed amazing. Look at how arrogant this person is when teaching his disciples! Don't you think so, eldest sister?"
Looking at the complacent look on her face when she spoke, those who didn't know it might have thought that she had set up the formation.
Fairy Yunxiao didn't speak. She stared at Yang Ling with deep eyes.
"Sister, do you think Yang Ling can break the formation?" Bixiao asked curiously.
Fairy Yunxiao shook her head gently, her voice calm but with a hint of certainty: "It's very difficult. Qiongxiao's formation has integrated the ultimate transformation of yin and yang and the changes of the five elements. Unless Yang Ling can understand the mystery of the formation, otherwise It’s impossible to break the formation.”
Beads of sweat broke out on Yang Ling's forehead, and his consciousness kept wandering in the formation, like a lost butterfly.
Suddenly, a realization arose in his heart.
Yes, this formation is called the "Pros and Reverse Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation". The power of the five elements is indeed mysterious, but the real key should be the power of yin and yang.
The five elements are only the appearance of the formation, while the power of yin and yang is the core force that maintains this formation.
Yang Ling closed his eyes and immersed himself in the flow of power around him. He felt the delicate balance of the power of yin and yang. This power appeared and disappeared in the formation, like the alternation of night and day, in a continuous cycle.
He took a deep breath, relaxed his body and mind, and stopped thinking about how to use the power of the five elements to break the formation. Instead, he tried to use the yin and yang method to deduce the formation.
As time went by, a confident smile gradually appeared on Yang Ling's face.
His hands began to dance slowly, as if they were painting an invisible picture. Around his body, the yin and yang energy began to blend with each other and rotate, forming the prototype of a Tai Chi diagram.
Yang Ling silently recited the secret of the word "fight" in his mind, and the Tai Chi diagram rotated under his feet, forming a huge yin and yang fish pattern.
Under the influence of this pattern, the entire formation seemed to resonate, the power of yin and yang began to feed back, and the power of the five elements also wavered.
"break!"
Yang Ling's tongue exploded with spring thunder, and a loud shout burst out from his mouth.
In an instant, the entire formation felt as if it had been struck by lightning. The power of Yin Yang and the Five Elements began to reverse, and a flaw appeared in the originally tight formation.
Yang Ling took advantage of the situation and entered, shuttled through the formation, and smoothly walked to the area where the core of the formation was located, and stood in front of Fairy Qiongxiao.
Fairy Qiongxiao looked at Yang Ling in front of her, unable to regain her consciousness for a long time.
After a long time, she took a deep look at Yang Ling and said slowly: "My fellow Taoist is very advanced, and his attainments in formations are far superior to mine. I am convinced of my defeat.
After saying that, she waved her hand gently, and the entire formation disappeared like a dream bubble, and turned into a small formation diagram and returned to her hand.
Yang Ling smiled slightly, just in time to see Fairy Bixiao's expression in the distance change from complacency to shock, with disbelief on her face.
He raised his brows slightly and said jokingly: "How's it going? Are you convinced now?"
