Chapter 836: Copying the Fish Scale Formation

Right now, the biggest opportunity for Zhang Xuan is the fish scale formation in front of him.

He has always wanted to build a true cross-domain Shenzhou.

It was just a thought before.

Now, the existence of array control made him reconsider the feasibility of this matter.

Although he could only refine a third-level superior-grade formation at best.

However, if a large number of second- and third-level formations are combined and controlled by a formation hub, the formation level of the complex large formation may be able to reach the fourth level, or even above the fourth level.

The divine ship that Zhang Dawu and his men refined in Tianmo City used dozens of formations.

However, the formations on these Shenzhou ships are basically independent, without any connection between them, and will not produce the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

However, the fish scale formation in front of him was different. Thousands of small formations with uniform array patterns transformed into a flowing array source, which was controlled by an array hub, making this large formation reach level five or even above level five.

This is because a large part of the fish scale formation was damaged, causing this complex formation to be downgraded.

If it is a complete fish scale formation, it would probably have to reach the seventh level.

Zhang Xuan took out a jade slip and recorded every small formation on the fish scales.

These second- or third-order small formations have different properties and functions, and Zhang Xuan has never seen them before.

Even if one is refined alone, it can play a good role.

He now has no idea about the pattern in which these small formations are arranged and combined.

However, since it is an ancient inheritance and a high-level formation, it must be a good thing.

As a formation master, he naturally had to copy down these formations in detail.

Maybe one day, this fish scale formation can be deployed on the cross-domain Shenzhou.

Once the fish scale formation is fully deployed, the effectiveness of the cross-domain divine ship will definitely not be inferior to the cross-domain treasure ship in the Beixuan treasure domain.

By the way, wasn’t the cross-domain treasure ship of Beixuan Treasure Domain also refined based on the wreckage of a large merchant ship of Tongtian Lingbao level?

The large fish scale formation that he discovered was no less valuable than the wreckage of a large merchant ship of Tongtian Lingbao level.

Moreover, even the cross-domain Shenzhou framework is ready.

The head that holds the Jiuyuan Holy Body can be used directly as the frame of the Shenzhou, and the fish scale formation can be carved on it.

The cross-domain Shenzhou has been refined.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan's mouth smiled again.

However, he did not laugh out loud this time.

Too garish.

He concentrated on carving out the small array patterns on the fish scale array.

Fortunately, he was able to refine the second and third level formations 100%.

If it were an ordinary formation master, just copying these formation patterns would not be an easy task.

However, gradually, he found that his previous plan was too optimistic.

Although he was able to successfully copy the formation patterns of these small formations.

However, this is too time-consuming.

It took him a whole day just to copy down a set of third-level formation patterns.

He also had to maintain the array control technique in order to manifest the array pattern in front of him, and his spiritual sense was consumed by as much as 20%.

This is also the result of Zhang Xuan's spiritual awareness far exceeding that of his peers.

If it were any other formation master, it would probably take more than a month to copy a set of third-level formations from the ancient times.

As for the second-level ancient formation, although it costs less, it still takes half a day.

"I copy one set of formations a day. There are 30 small formations in this large fish scale formation. It will probably take 100 years to copy them all. If I add meditation to recover my energy and consciousness, it will take at least years."

Zhang Xuan felt like crying.

I finally found a simple method to refine a high-level formation, but I didn't expect it would take so long.

The most important thing is that many of the formation patterns were damaged, and Zhang Xuan was unable to copy them.

After all, what is in front of us is just a broken fish scale formation.

However, Zhang Xuan was still unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

"Since we can't copy the complete fish scale formation, then we can copy an abridged version of it."

Later, he spent half a month carefully studying the structure of the entire large fish scale formation.

The entire fish scale formation spans tens of thousands of miles and is divided into yin and yang sides, just enveloping the large island in the middle.

The array structures on the yin and yang sides are almost identical.

The left and right fish eyes are the array eyes, and each array eye is connected to 72 fourth-order arrays.

With each fourth-order formation as the center, radiating outward, 72 third-order formations are radiated.

Once again, each third-order formation is used as the core of the formation, connecting to 72 second-order formations outward.

Based on this, Zhang Xuan speculated that the entire fish scale formation had 144 fourth-order formations, rd-order formations, and nd-order formations.

Moreover, these formations are different and the formation patterns are also ever-changing.

I didn't look closely at first and thought it was just a collection of tens of thousands of formations.

However, a careful study revealed that this large fish scale formation was made up of formations folded and stacked together, with more than 700,000 formations inlaid.

He originally thought that it would take 100 years to copy the Fish Scale Formation, but he was too optimistic.

Under the current circumstances, let alone a hundred years, even ten thousand years would be difficult.

Zhang Xuan didn't have time to copy down all the more than 10,000 formations.

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and only copied down the parts of two of the fourth-order formations that were the core of the formation.

There are 144 hubs in the fourth-level formation, including the yin and yang sides.

There are also 144 sets of third-order formations covered by the core of the two fourth-order Yin-Yang formations, which are only one percent of the size of the entire fish scale formation.

In this way, the copying can be completed in just half a year.

These 144 fourth-order array hubs are also different.

Naturally, he first selected the core of the defensive array as the object to be copied.

The defensive formation is not only used by flying boats, but also needs to be set up in family territories.

It can be said to be the most widely used type of formation.

In the following days, everyone saw the ten clan elders shuttling back and forth around the large island every day to study the formation.

The ten clan elders didn't say they were leaving, so it was not a good idea for us to rush them.

After all, under the protection of the fish scale formation, it is relatively safe on a large island.

Everyone has absorbed so much spiritual energy some time ago, and it does take time to digest it slowly.

For a monk, let alone half a year, even decades are just a blink of an eye.

Since the ten clan elders had no intention of leaving, everyone was happy to have some free time.

When Zhang Xuan was copying the third-level formation pattern, he made a surprising discovery.

Many third-order formations are incomplete.

This problem also left Zhang Xuan at a loss.

You can't set up a simplified and incomplete version when setting up the fish scale formation.

Later, he discovered that the directions of the patterns on the yin and yang sides of these array patterns were completely opposite.

This means that as long as he refers to the array pattern on the other side and carves in the opposite direction, he can deduce the overall picture of the entire array pattern.

This made Henry Zhang very happy.

Using this method, he can basically deduce the patterns of most of the third-order incomplete array patterns.

Five months later, Zhang Xuan finally carved out all 5 third-order array patterns.

What made him even more delighted was that by practicing the array control technique and copying these array patterns, his spiritual awareness also increased significantly.
