The Four Symbols Formation is a basic defensive formation.
However, precisely because it is so basic, the Four Symbols Formation is also the most stable defensive formation in the world.
As long as the formation holder's mana is inexhaustible, the Four Symbols Formation is unbreakable. Whether from the inside or the outside, it cannot be broken by non-formation holders. This is also the reason why the Four Symbols Formation is called a basic defensive formation. The strength of the formation depends on the holder. This kind of formation is too difficult to defend in a confrontation of equal strength, and it is easy for the opponent to exhaust the mana and then break it.
It's just that Jiang Wen is different from ordinary cultivators. What he cultivates is the Golden Core Great Dao. The mana in his body is inexhaustible, and the Zhou Tian cycle is endless. Compared with cultivators of the same realm, his mana is too strong. Even in the most arduous battles, Jiang Wen rarely runs out of mana.
Therefore, after the Four Symbols Formation was refined into the Four Symbols Sword Formation by him, it became all-encompassing in defense. Whether fighting Chi Yao or fighting the demons on Rou Tu, his Four Symbols Sword Formation had rarely been broken.
But now, the formation formed by the four flying swords in front of him is already different from his Four Symbols Sword Formation. It is a killing sword formation, a desperate fight with no chance of survival.
"Good formation." Jiang Wen looked at the formation formed by these four flying swords and couldn't help but sigh greatly. He thought of his Four Symbols Sword Formation. If he could change the formation at any time after forming the formation, from defense to killing, wouldn't that be twice the power?
And the killing sword formation in front of him is the sword formation that Jiang Wen needs.
"I don't know what this sword formation is called?" Jiang Wen muttered to himself.
"This sword formation is called the Four Symbols Killing Formation, which is transformed from the Four Symbols Sword Formation." A strange voice came from his ear, and Jiang Wen looked over vigilantly.
Then he saw a person materialize out of thin air, as if formed by ink.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he was wearing a long robe with flying sleeves. He looked like a refined and elegant immortal.
"Who are you?" Jiang Wen frowned and asked this person.
"Haha, have you forgotten so quickly?" The ink man smiled. "We just met in the Jing Shui Palace."
"Are you Pure Yang Zhenren?" Jiang Wen said in astonishment.
"Pure Yang Zhenren? You can call me that, of course, you can also call me Chi Feng." The ink man smiled and bowed to Jiang Wen. "Greetings, Great Void Ancestor, or Shen Nong Ancestor."
"You know my identity?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"I didn't know it originally, but due to chance, I still know it." The ink man sighed. "I am indebted to the ancestor, but I didn't expect to be indebted again after countless years. If the ancestor hadn't pointed out my Xuan Dan Great Dao, I'm afraid I would have continued to go astray."
"It's okay, the Dao is the Dao. My pointing out your Golden Core Great Dao is also preaching." Jiang Wen said lightly. "However, I do have a question, and I would like to ask Daoist Chi Feng to enlighten me."
"The ancestor might as well speak directly, and Chi Feng will answer everything he knows." The ink man said seriously.
"I heard Chang Yin say that you are dead, why do you appear here? And is the one in the Jing Shui Palace your real self?" Jiang Wen said his doubts, and then quietly looked at the ink man.
He saw him pondering for a moment, and then smiled: "Does the ancestor think I am real or fake?"
"I think you are real." Jiang Wen stared at him and said. "What is real cannot be fake, and what is fake cannot be real."
"What the ancestor said is right, what is real cannot be fake, and what is fake cannot be real. The one standing in front of the ancestor is the real Chi Feng." The ink man said gently.
"The ancestor wrote the Medicine Classic and created the method of refining Qi. But he has not yet stepped into the realm of a saint, so naturally he cannot know the mystery of the realm of a saint."
"My Dao heart entered the semi-saint realm, but later I had no feeling at all." Jiang Wen said. He had once stepped into the realm of a saint, but after experiencing this series of events, he no longer had that feeling. That kind of ethereal emptiness, where heaven and earth exist, and everything in the world is in his palm.
"A semi-saint is not a saint, it's just a temporary misperception." The ink man said. "The so-called saint is one who understands the mysteries of heaven and earth and understands all kinds of mysteries. A step difference is the difference between heaven and earth. There is no such thing as a semi-saint. Saints only have saints and non-saints. Those who do not enter the realm of saints will not understand the difference."
"There is no semi-saint? Then isn't your clone in the Shen Mu Palace considered a semi-saint?" Jiang Wen asked curiously. After all, Chang Yin also said that the idiot sealed in the Shen Mu Palace was in the realm of a semi-saint, but now Pure Yang Zhenren himself said that there is no such realm as a semi-saint, which is really strange.
The ink man smiled without saying a word, and drew a picture. There are people and ponds on it, people standing on the land, and there are big and small fish in the pond.
"Ancestor, please take a look." The ink man pointed to the painting and said. "There are fish in the pond, of different sizes. The big ones can eat the small fish, so the big fish are naturally stronger than the small fish. But how do these big and small fish compare to people?"
"Naturally, they are completely different." Jiang Wen said.
"That's right, these small fish are the Dao Palace, and these big fish are the semi-saints we are talking about. But no matter how big the fish is, it is still a fish. It cannot walk on the road like a person. And a person is a person, completely different from a fish. The saint and the non-saint are like the surface of this pond, although there is a barrier, they are two completely different places. A fish jumps out of the water and transforms into a person, which is called becoming a saint. No matter how big a fish grows, it is still just a fish. It cannot walk on the ground like a person."
The painting disappeared, and Jiang Wen understood what Pure Yang Zhenren meant by saying that there is no semi-saint. Indeed, in the eyes of a saint, the so-called semi-saint and Dao Palace are no different. Both are fish, and both live in the pond.
"All the hundred schools of the Immortal Sect know this, but they don't know what Sendai is. They only feel that it is the same as the Dao Palace, opening up the world within the core. This kind of thinking is wrong. Sendai is not in the Dantian Qi Sea, but in the divine consciousness. What is Sendai? The place to ascend to immortality, the foundation of becoming a saint. Therefore, becoming a saint is not to be found in the Dao Palace, a little divine light is hidden in the brain." The ink man smiled, and then bowed to Jiang Wen again.
"I originally thought that becoming a saint was like this, but after hearing the ancestor's guidance, I realized that there were some deviations in the path I was taking. The ancestor's Golden Core Great Dao is mysterious, and although it is the same as the path to becoming a saint, it is different. The ancestor is only capable of the Dao Palace, but he has written such a profound skill, he is truly the number one person in the world."
"You flatter me." Jiang Wen felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but his expression remained calm.
"The ancestor asked me why the Jing Shui Palace and here are both me, this is the realm of a saint. A saint creates Sendai in the divine consciousness and places it in the void. The divine soul is placed in the years, and it cannot be destroyed unless it is the deity. My divine soul existing in this world and talking to the ancestor was destined thousands of years ago. After I become a saint, I will be able to know what this wisp of divine soul has experienced. Whether it is ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, it is all me. This is the method of a saint—unity."
"You mean that the remnant soul of you here and the you who became a saint tens of thousands of years ago also know about this?" Jiang Wen was amazed at the realm of a saint, who could actually penetrate time and talk to him.
"Yes." The ink man nodded.
"Then wouldn't you be able to know the past and present, and be able to reverse the years?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"The ancestor overestimates me." The ink man said with a wry smile. "I can only listen, if it weren't for the cause and effect between the ancestor and me, I wouldn't be able to see the ancestor."
"My encounter with the ancestor was destined long ago, and my encounter with the immortal master here is also a destined event. So what if I am a saint, I cannot change anything." The ink man sighed.
"It's just that the ancestor is different, perhaps the ancestor can do things that a saint cannot do."
