Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 427: 427

Xue Wei casually went back to the courtyard . He had already said what he wanted to say, and he wanted nothing more to do with these people .

If they wanted him to refine a pill for them, then Xue Wei would gladly do so .

At the same time, in the luxurious tent, the two experts from before, the stoic and the smiling person, were looking at each other, shock was evident in their eyes .

They had already heard about Xue Wei’s real identity as the Azure Dragon, as the Holy Son of the Sovereign Beasts, and they thought they had previously considered him quite amazing, but now they understood that Xue Wei was even more outstanding than first expected .

To be able to concoct Two-Colored Rainbow Pills, they understood that his level of pill refinement could not be low .

If they knew that he was also proficient in formations and inscriptions, then they would be extremely shocked by his skills .

"Although the Vermilion Bird Clan was protecting him, the common people were not . Now, this is different since he can bring them to another level; this is truly a magnificent thought process . "

Xue Wei was not aware that he was being observed by the General and the Captain, who were in charge of the Army Camp, but even if he knew, he would not care too much about it . As long as they did not cause problems for him, he would leave them be .

After he returned to the courtyard, he locked himself in his room and began creating inscriptions .

He had mainly relied on inscriptions back in the Thunder Twilight Zone to battle the remnant souls, but he had used most of his stock, and since then he had not had the time to sit down and create new ones .

Also, now that his strength had soared, he would be able to create even more outstanding inscriptions, and these inscriptions and formations would be useful .

Inscriptions and formations were not the same . Inscriptions were a pattern that was carved or drawn onto a piece of parchment, or a stone, or other items, which then had a one time use .

When these inscriptions were used, they would erupt with power and explode depending on which pattern had been drawn .

Formations were placed on the ground . They were placed with various materials, and while they also depended on having been drawn in specific patterns, they could last as long as the materials needed were there .

Let’s say Xue Wei created an inscription . The lower ranked inscriptions could be made solely by using spiritual energy, however if he wanted to make the more elaborate inscriptions, then he would need to use various herbs and grind them together to make a specific ink . Then this ink would be infused with spiritual energy, and then it could be used for creating inscriptions .

After an inscription was made, then it could be used, one time . It could explode with a certain power, or borrow a specific element like the Flameward Inscription, which erupted with flames all over .

Then there were formations . When making formations, one did not need ink made from various herbs, but instead, you had to draw the pattern with spiritual energy, and then put specific ores and essence stones in strategic positions to ignite the formation .

A formation that had been put down could be destroyed in three ways . First was the easiest, which was to wait for the stones and ores to run out or be drained of energy . However, some formations barely used any energy . Hence they would take years to run out . Also, some formations could absorb their own energy, making it impossible to run out .

Another way to destroy a formation was to understand it . If one could locate the ores or essence stones and then remove one of them, then they would be able to break the formation, but it would be hard since most formations had their own defense system . And one had to be able to understand that they had entered a formation in order to be able to break it .

The final way of breaking a formation was the most brutal way . That was to simply attack the formation until it was exhausted of energy . This was the best way if you had good strength; however, not many would be able to realize that they had entered a formation, and thus, their reaction was not good enough .

Also, if one were weaker, then they would just exhaust themselves in an attempt at destroying the formation . Formations could often absorb the Heaven and Earth Essence, so even if the attacks were able to drain the energy, it could replenish itself .

Xue Wei had learned both formations and inscriptions back in the Inheritance of the Moon Prince, He had never done much in formations, but now that he was going into war, he understood that he needed to delve into the different professions he had experimented in earlier . It was a good idea to have as much protection as possible .

Not to mention, formations also had the ability to set up barriers . Right now, he had really caused problems with the Fire Horse Clan, so he needed some sort of security . A barrier around the courtyard would give him a few moments to prepare, should they strike in the middle of the night .

But Xue Wei had never set up such a barrier formation before . He flew into the air and began drawing the pattern of the formation with his spiritual energy . Then he placed specific ores and essence stones on strategic positions, thus completing the pattern, and soon a glimmer appeared, covering the courtyard in a dome .

Looking at the formation, Xue Wei frowned . While this was, in fact, a success, he knew that it was unstable .

"Hei Gou!" he called out, and soon after, his friend appeared . "Try shattering this formation," Xue Wei ordered .
