Chapter 5281 Successful Replacement

Looking at the rune flying towards him, Huankong was a little absent-minded for a moment, as if the rune had some special magic that was going to suck Huankong's soul into it.

Even a powerful rune array master like Huankong would feel overwhelmed when he really faced or actually came into contact with the rune array for the first time.

If all conditions were met, there might not be any problem in carving runes to build the array, but now there are too many necessary conditions missing, especially with Zuofeng, Nifeng, and Huankong as the three combinations to complete the construction of the beast clan array, the difficulty has increased several times.

Although Huankong had also had contact with it, those were all recorded in the classics. In addition to various stories related to the beast clan array, there were also various mists and clouds that vaguely described some of the situations of the beast clan array.

Some rumors about the Supreme Sect after the battle that year also shook the entire Kunxuan Continent. Although some people later deliberately erased that past, some things still passed down.

Some are directly related to the battle of that year, some are related to the Supreme Sect, and there are even some people who have no relationship with the Supreme Sect, but have obtained some information about the beast formation from the battle against Lietian.

It has been too long since the events of that year, and it is difficult to distinguish what is true and what is false. What's more, some people have learned the truth of some things, but have added some of their own imaginations and fabricated some stories, which makes it even more difficult to distinguish after mixing them together.

The history, which was already very vague, was deliberately erased by some forces. The various information that was finally passed down, especially the part that directly described the beast formation, can be described as rare.

Huankong can also see some descriptions about the shape and structure of the formation, as well as the changes in attributes and rules after operation. It is already very difficult. No matter how much others pay, it is difficult to obtain such information.

Even the formation structure is so rare, and the information about runes is naturally equally precious. Even though some of the runes of the beast formations can be passed down through classics, it is difficult to distinguish which ones are real human formation runes and which ones are beast formation runes.

There is only one reason, that is, assuming that there are really beast formations in the world, then the runes that construct the beast formations have another name in the current Kunxuan Continent, which is called ancient runes.

The ancient runes themselves are full of legends. Some people believe that ancient runes originally existed between heaven and earth, but were just used by people. However, from a certain perspective, this statement can confirm the origin of the beast formations, so this statement is not only rejected, but also hostile.

Another statement is relatively simple, that is, there was a splendid history in the history of the human race. At that time, the human formation masters had powerful abilities and could create runes far beyond the current level, that is, ancient runes.

Afterwards, perhaps there was some kind of great change in Kunxuan Continent, or perhaps a powerful existence like Lietian, after wreaking havoc on Kunxuan Continent, eventually made that glorious period disappear in history.

In the end, only a small part of the ancient runes were preserved, and this has become the ancient runes that exist on Kunxuan Continent today.

Simply looking at this statement, it is indeed difficult for people to accept, but this statement has circumstantial evidence. That is, there are still ancient prescriptions and very rare ancient medicines on Kunxuan Continent today.

Some of the means and techniques of this ancient prescription are still partially unattainable with the current means and level, even if the ancient medicine can be matched.

The ancient runes can also be said to be related to the beast formation, but as for the ancient prescription and ancient medicine, it is difficult to connect them with the beast. Therefore, the existence of the ancient prescription and ancient medicine is equivalent to confirming from the side that the beast formation does not exist, and the ancient runes are created by humans themselves.

However, for the rune formation masters or grandmasters who have reached a certain level, they are skeptical about this statement.

Because they value the characteristics of the runes themselves more, the most important information is that the runes on Kunxuan Continent today can be adjusted as long as their structure and properties are understood. The degree of adjustment depends on the level of the rune array master himself and his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

However, none of the ancient runes, or the ancient runes known on Kunxuan Continent now, can be modified. No matter how powerful the rune array master is, he cannot modify it, not even a little bit, and any adjustment will lead to the collapse of the ancient runes.

Based on this characteristic of the ancient runes, although the ancient runes are very powerful, they are almost never used.

Because runes are only used to construct arrays, the most basic and smallest existence, their existence itself serves the array. All rune array masters have been taught since the day they started learning to adjust the runes and the structure of the runes to achieve the purpose of constructing the array.

This is also an important reason why most rune array masters quickly choose to reject even if they accidentally come into contact with the beast array during their studies. How can we use runes that cannot be adjusted, and how can we construct formations?

Only after reaching the Grandmaster level, a small number of rune array masters can adjust the array and use other runes to add ancient runes. This is actually somewhat contrary to what the rune array masters have been learning, and even a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

But the key is that by adding ancient runes in this way, the array can be directly upgraded to a higher level, and even the power of the array can be increased by more than double.

In the face of such a tempting effect, no one will really continue to persist even if it deviates from the original concept of practicing rune arrays.

Moreover, only a small number of people can deviate from the original practice concept. People who can reach that level pay more attention to the actual effect and pursue the most powerful array.

In today's Kunxuan Continent, although ancient runes are not rare, it is already very difficult to see them in a certain array. Just one or two ancient runes in the array will improve the level of the entire array.

As for other rune array masters, they simply cannot integrate ancient runes into the array, so they will also find a way for themselves, that is, those who use ancient runes are guys who like to study crooked ways.

In fact, if there is really a chance, they will still study secretly, wishing that they can integrate ancient runes into the array they constructed one day earlier.

This is why, whether it is Zuo Feng or Huan Kong, they are so surprised when they see the array constructed entirely by ancient runes. Zuo Feng has really never seen it before, but Huan Kong is shocked that there is such a thing in the world. Although he also doubted whether it came from the beast formation at that time, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Until this moment, as he continued to observe Ni Feng's movements and carved out runes one by one, Huan Kong immediately found that the runes he could recognize were all ancient runes. As for the other part, they were all runes that it didn't recognize.

If it was a rune of a normal human formation, Huan Kong would almost never not recognize it. Even if there are a few that he doesn't recognize, it's impossible that more than half of them are not recognized like now.

Now facing the incomplete runes depicted by Nifeng, Huankong can only rely on some experience and understanding of ancient runes to complete the missing parts.

Some of them are completed according to his memory, and some are completed according to his understanding of ancient runes, but in this case, some runes will collapse directly after being carved.

Huankong also found that it is impossible to complete the incomplete ancient runes by relying on his own understanding, or according to his own deduction and calculation. So he can only complete those incomplete runes according to the ancient runes that he has read or studied, or that he has mastered and can use flexibly.

Doing so can indeed make the rune carving successful, but the new problem is that those completed runes are almost difficult to truly integrate into the formation.

Now the formation is still under construction and can be barely maintained, but once it really starts to operate, the formation will definitely collapse immediately. But Huankong has no better way to deal with this, so he can only put this problem aside for now.

As Huankong carved more and more runes, the formation structure became more and more complicated. Huankong found it difficult to go back and deal with the known problems.

This was originally Huankong's most troublesome problem, but just now, Zuo Feng's clone suddenly carved a rune, and it was an ancient rune sent over.

When the rune was carved, Huankong felt familiar, until it slowly flew to the vicinity of the formation and stopped, Huankong suddenly found that the rune carved by Zuo Feng was very similar to the rune in the formation that he had completed.

In just a moment, Huankong understood. Although he didn't understand why Zuo Feng carved such an ancient rune and why it was sent to this location. But he hesitated for a moment, and directly replaced the rune carved by Zuo Feng with the rune he had completed before.

It was easy to replace the two runes because the formation had not yet started to operate. But even so, when the ancient rune carved by Zuo Feng entered the formation, Huankong immediately confirmed that the new rune was absolutely correct.

Although the formation had not yet started to operate, each ancient rune was equivalent to a small formation. Huankong, the person who constructed the formation, could still sense whether the fluctuations they released were coordinated with each other.
