Chapter 37: Spirit Energy Sealing Formation

  The jade stone broke away from the earth's gravity, floating in mid-air, shining like a star. Xuan Qi grasped it in his hand and played with it for a long time.

  The value of this jade stone has now exceeded that of the imperial glass species in his hand. If it is put outside, someone will definitely be willing to pay a price higher than the glass species emerald, and even several times are possible.

  With the experience of this trial, he formally began to lay out the formation in the jade stone.

  Building an array in the jade stone requires a lot of energy. Now, Xuan Qi doesn't dare to be careless for a moment, fearing that all his previous efforts will be wasted. For him, this is a completely new challenge. Moreover, Xuan Qi must also control the size and intensity of the spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy is too much at once, it will cause the entire spirit stone to burst. If the spiritual energy is too little, it will not be enough to maintain the operation of the entire array, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

  Time slipped away bit by bit, and in the end, Xuán Qí relied on his unyielding determination and extreme caution to follow the previous method, one by one, and finally succeeded.

  Five jade stones floated in the air, like twinkling stars, exceptionally beautiful. They seemed to have a mysterious connection between them, floating in the air to form a geometric shape of a five-pointed star, and there was also a subtle flow of spiritual energy between them, as if they had established some kind of invisible channel.

  "Lao Ding, is it done?" Xuan Qi asked curiously.

  "Damn it, you think setting up a forbidden array is that easy? The current scene is just an internal connection between several arrays, a self-generated phenomenon with little effect. Although you did well in the first half, there's still the second half to go. What you need to do now is arrange these five spirit stones around your grandfather's bedroom according to specific directions, forming an array eye as the center and absorbing the spiritual energy from the surrounding air."

  "Is that so? Then what should we do next?" Xuan Qi casually picked up the few jade stones in the air, which had already changed greatly.

  It's really strange, he has actually escaped the influence of gravity. He is thinking to himself, what principle is at work here? Secretly thinking, if he were to obtain a super-large jade stone and seal an array inside it, wouldn't that be equivalent to something like a UFO?

  Lao Ding didn't know what strange thoughts were in his mind at this moment, and continued: "Tai Chi says that before the heaven and earth were separated, the original energy was mixed as one. It gives birth to two instruments. Two instruments give birth to four images, four images give birth to eight trigrams. This is the true meaning of the formation method, remember it carefully."

  According to Lao Ding's statement, the layout of Lingqi Jinzhen is closely related to the five elements and eight trigrams. Whether it is the attribute of the five elements or the position of the eight trigrams, they are all intricately connected.

  Lao Ding had already explained this in detail to him before. This time, to ensure success, he said it again.

  Finally, Lao Ding said: "Call your grandfather in, when we set up the formation later, a lot of spiritual energy will be gathered, which is good for his body. The spiritual energy can wash away some of the dead energy in his body."

  Xuan Qing and Jin Lai arrived, and at first glance, they saw the five shiny jade stones in Xuan Qi's hand. They were shocked, but didn't say much, quietly standing aside as Xuan Qi began to set up his formation.

  The next formation technique was one that Xuan Qi had practiced before, but this time it was different. This time, he needed to use his spiritual energy to command and move the trajectory and position of the jade stones suspended in mid-air.

  Only to see Xuan Qi's hands quickly making various shapes of hand seals, with each movement, the five-colored spiritual stones in the air also made subtle adjustments and movements.

  In Xuan Qing's eyes, the jade stone in mid-air and Xuan Qi's hand seemed to be connected by an invisible thread, as if being manipulated like a puppet.

  As the spiritual stone's internal formation gradually reached its designated position, the entire formation began to move slowly.

  The spiritual energy originally stored in the formation began to flow slowly, like a stream, along its predetermined route, under Xuan Qi's urging.

  At first, these air flows moved very slowly. As time went on, the speed of these air flows began to increase constantly, getting faster and faster.

  Later on, Xuan Qi could hardly see the flow of these spiritual energies. The entire formation had almost completely begun to rotate rapidly, and the speed at which the five spirit stones were rotating was frightening to hear.

  Originally five spiritual stones, according to their positions directly transformed into a five-pointed star shape.

  The array that originally looked like a five-pointed star, after rapidly rotating, turned into a huge sphere, wrapping two strands of spiritual energy in the middle.

  These two strands of spiritual energy intertwined, the chaos had not yet been divided, but they brought extremely strong power. Xuan Qi's eyes were dazed as he stared at the strange scene in the sky, almost forgetting time and space.

  This primordial chaos of the universe made him feel extremely small. However, he also felt very big, standing alone at the center of the universe, feeling the changes of all things.

  At this time, Xuan Qi's heart had gained a lot of enlightenment. These enlightenments were extremely important to him. The way of the Mystic Gate lies in enlightenment, not in practice.

  For Xuanmen disciples, hard work and diligence are only auxiliary means. To truly make progress, one needs opportunities, great enlightenment, and mastery of the universe's secrets; this is the correct path to cultivation.

  At the time when Xuan Qi was infatuated with the scenery in the sky, Xuan Qing had already been knocked unconscious by the powerful aura here and lost consciousness.

  "Alright, the timing is almost right." Lao Ding shouted loudly, snapping Xuan Qi out of his epiphany, saying: "Hurry up and activate the formation, use spiritual energy to flush your grandfather's body."

  Xuan Qi nodded silently, and as his hand seals moved, the spiritual energy in this Five Phases Eight Trigrams Formation began to gather together, rushing towards Xuan Qing's body.

  At this time, a painful expression appeared on Xuán Qīng Hé's face. It was clear that the impact of this spiritual energy made his body feel somewhat unusual.

  However, these spiritual energies soon directly entered his body. At the same time, a black energy appeared in his body and rushed towards the spiritual energy.

  These dark auras want to devour those lively spiritual auras. However, although these dark auras are ferocious, they are still much weaker than the spiritual aura intensity of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation.

  Under the impact, these black airs, namely Xuan Qing and the dead air in the body, began to retreat step by step. It can be seen that this black air cannot withstand the spiritual energy of the Five Elements Array.

  Under the impact of the spiritual energy, the Xuan Qing and the dead energy inside his body became more and more diluted, their intensity also becoming weaker and weaker, soon hiding directly inside his body.

  In this way, Xuan Qinghe's physical function also recovered a lot.

  Although he is now recovering, he has not fully recovered. However, compared to before, he is much stronger. Nevertheless, the dead energy in his body has not completely disappeared, it just hid.

  To truly prolong his life, Xuan Qi still needs to continue his efforts until he can set up a true life-prolonging formation.

  "Alright, next we just need to bury the spiritual energy suppression array around your grandfather's bedroom. Let the spiritual energy wash over his body every day and suppress the dead energy inside him."

  "Old Turtle, is it all right now?"

  Although Xuan Qi watched as Xuan Qing and the many dead energies within his body were washed away by the spiritual energy, he still had some worries, fearing that something unexpected might happen in between.

  The old man said with great displeasure: "I said it would work, and it will definitely work. Alright, let's hurry up and set up the spiritual energy barrier array! Is this little thing really going to stump me? If your abilities are sufficient, you can even extend your life by half a cycle, do you still need to set up a simplified version of the spiritual energy barrier array here?"

  Xuan Qi stopped talking and began preparing to bury the five Ling Stones in the ground, fixing the spiritual energy restriction array.

  However, at this time, Xuan Qi started to hesitate again. He was not clear about the five spiritual stones, and according to what direction should they be placed, in order to be considered correct.

  Logically speaking, the five elements and directions are fixed and can be followed. For example, the west is supposed to represent gold. However, Xuan Qi felt that placing a jade stone representing metal properties in the west of this bedroom was not suitable at all.

  After all, the West belongs to Yin, governing the killing and cutting energy. Moreover, jade is also a Yin-yielding object. If it's too cold and Yin, it will harm the body's vital energy.

  Lao Ding said in Xuan Qi's mind, "Why didn't you arrange the Ling Stone?"

  Xuan Qi said: "I feel that something is off, the position of this Ling Stone shouldn't be buried under the bedroom according to the layout in mid-air!"

  "Are you sure?" Lao Ding asked with a slightly doubtful tone.

  Xuan Qi nodded vigorously and said: "I'm sure!"

  "Not bad, you've got some brains, not just following what I taught you to arrange. This test, you passed." Lao Ding spoke the truth.

  Originally, the five-line array method belongs to two different fields in the air and underground. Although on the surface it seems that this spiritual energy seal array is no different in the air and on the ground, but the five elements have already changed their positions.

  It's just like our image in the mirror, always opposite to us in reality.

  Lao Ding originally intended to use facts to teach Xuan Qi a lesson, but unexpectedly he discovered the flaws in the formation and put forward his own ideas.

  "This kid is not only good at brain but also has his own ideas, it seems that there is still potential to be tapped!"

  Lao Ding was originally not very satisfied with Xuan Qi's qualifications, but through these days of observation. He found that Xuan Qi actually still has a lot of potential.

  His brain, although not a genius, is relatively smart. More importantly, he doesn't blindly follow authority and has his own thoughts.

  For a person in the mysterious gate, having his own ideas is more important. In this way, you can break free from conventions and constraints, and there will be breakthroughs.

  Otherwise, sticking to conventions all the time makes it difficult for new things to emerge, and the mysterious arts will also stagnate.

  "So it was a test after all!"

  Xuan Qi finally felt at ease and said, "It should be the opposite of the position in the sky, right? So, the west position should be where the earth attribute jade stone is placed, Old Turtle, isn't that so?"

  Lao Ding said: "Since you have an idea now, don't ask me anymore. Just go with your own idea!"

  Xuan Qi understood that this was Lao Ding's approval of his method. Upon hearing this, he quickly buried the five jade stones in the surroundings of Xuan Qing and the bedroom according to their positions.

  These five spiritual stones were directly buried into the ground by Xuan Qi with a burst of spiritual energy, and did not need to be dug up with tools as he had originally imagined.

  Very soon, these five spirit stones were placed in the correct position. As Xuan Qi began to urge the formation method, this spiritual energy prohibition array was finally completed.

  In the bedroom of Xuan Qinghe, with the rotation of the Lingqi Forbidden Array, it was filled with a rich spiritual energy. This spiritual energy could strengthen one's body and wash away the aura of death, making it a pretty good array.

  With the help of the Lingqi Forbidden Array, Xu Qing's lifespan is absolutely not just three months. The problem that Xu Qi has been worried about has finally been temporarily solved.

  However, this is only a temporary measure to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. To truly achieve eternal youth and longevity, mastering the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique is the key to solving the problem.

  However, this matter cannot be rushed, and it's impossible to make progress too quickly. After all, Xuan Qi has just started on the path of mysticism, and he still needs a long time of hard work to reach that level.

  At this time, Xuan Qing and finally woke up. Under the cleansing of the spiritual energy, the dead air and turbid air in his body were temporarily swept away.

  He is now refreshed and feeling unusually light in body.

  The dark shadow of death that had been hanging over his head for so long had vanished. Moreover, he saw the hope of the Xuan family's resurgence and prosperity once again.

  "Our ancestors are blessed, heaven won't abandon our Xuan family, heaven won't abandon our Xuan gate!" Overjoyed at his rebirth, Xuan Qing and the old man couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

  Looking at Grandpa's excited appearance, Xuan Qi was also overwhelmed with emotions. Returning to his 17-year-old self, he had finally changed his fate and grasped the throat of destiny.

  "My fate is in my own hands, not in heaven's!"

  Xuan Qi clenched his fists and silently shouted in his heart. He wanted to make up for the regrets of his past life, and live a brilliant life this time around.

  Just as Xuan Qi's emotions were surging, he heard Xuan Qing say: "Xiao Qi, you've grown up and can take responsibility now. I think it's time for me to tell you about the curse of the Xuan family!"

  "The Curse of the Xuan Family?"

  Xuan Qi heard Xuan Qing's words and couldn't help but be stunned.

  Xuan Qing nodded and sighed, "Right, your parents' death and my terminal illness are all related to this curse! Today, I will tell you its origin in detail."
