Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Young master, which formation you are planning to arrange?", Li Shu asked curiously after seeing the spirit materials that Zhan Chen had taken out from his spatial ring.

"The name of this formation is 'Nine revolution origin formation'. This is a complex formation but once I manage to arrange it, it will increase my proficiency in formation and help us all with increasing our cultivation levels", Zhan Chen replied.

He sat cross legged and started to cultivate. He operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra and pushed his body and mind towards the optimum level.

Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min waited patiently and observed Zhan Chen while he was cultivating peacefully. Zhan Chen opened his eyes after a while and focused his eyes on the six spirit materials.

He took out a formation pen from his spatial ring and picked the wood spirit ore out of the six spirit materials. The ore was only the size of a fist but Zhan Chen was able to carve countless tiny symbols on the body of the wood spirit ore. Compared to the previous two formations that he had arranged, the current formation he was planning to arrange was more profound. So, he was extremely careful and carved the divine symbols on the wood spirit ore with extreme details. He took a while to finish his carving and the first sized wood spirit ore was glowing with innumerable tiny symbols.

Zhan Chen picked up the Extreme yang jade next. He gave the same careful attention to the rectangular jade and the body of Extreme yang jade was filled with countless miniature symbols by the time he finished carving on the rectangular jade.

Zhan Chen picked up the other four spirit materials one by one and carved divine symbols on them with extreme attention and precision. The spiritual energy draining was enormous but he was able to bear the burdeon because of the energy available in his spiritual river.

Such a complex undertaking was impossible if he was still at the level of a formation grandmaster. That's why, he remained stubborn and even took the help of Fu Deming to reach the level of a formation king.

Zhan Chen took a breath in relief after carving all the six spirit materials. He adjusted his breath for few moments and closed his eyes.

All the six spirit materials came under his spiritual perception and he wrapped the spirit materials with his spiritual energy. Then with a thought of his mind, the six spirit materials flew away towards different directions.

Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min were visibly stunned as the deeds of Zhan Chen was an unthinkable performance infront of them. They watched with amazement as the six spirit materials reached six different locations of the main hall.

The three girls didn't have any inkling about how profound the position of six spirit materials were, otherwise they would have immediately point out after seeing the six spirit materials in two intersecting reverse mountain formations.

Zhan Chen channeled more spiritual energy and the six spirit materials went towards the ground. Then infront of the dumbfounded expressions of the three girls, the six spirit materials sank into the hard rock surface and disappeared. There were small holes on the rock surface initially but the adjacent corners of the rock surface moved on their own and the holes were closed within few moments.

Zhan Chen didn't open his eyes even after placing the six spirit materials in their appropriate position. He had already initiated the layout of the formation but the most important step still remained. The true difference between an earth grade formation and the sky grade formation was the involvement of the heavenly laws in the manifestation of the formation.

For the execution of the step, there was no need for one to comprehend the complex heavenly laws. But a formation expert most establish a connection with the heaven for the successful activation of a sky grade formation that he was carving.

Zhan Chen entered into a deep meditation after placing the six spirit materials in their appropriate positions. His spiritual perception was completely open and he tried to establish a connection with the heaven while observing it's countless ethereal elemental strands.

Elemental strands were visible and of various colours but there was something more ethereal hiding beyond them. It was the profound laws which govern everything in between heaven and earth.

One begets two, two begets three and three begets all the things. One represented the source of origin, two represented yin and yang and three represented the three cardinal supreme laws which govern everything in the heaven and earth. The three supreme laws were spatial law, temporal law and law of creation. Every elemental law were subordinate to them and together they ensured the function of heaven and earth.

Zhan Chen had acquired this knowledge from 'the profound art of dual cultivation' book that his teacher had left for him in the space of mysterious diagram. He tried to realise the subtle meaning behind this knowledge during his bid to connect with the heavenly laws.

His mind gradually sank deeper and deeper into heavenly laws as he pondered about the knowledge he had got from the profound art of dual cultivation book. One begets two, two begets three and three begets all the thing.....,

he pondered about it and gradually he entered into a state of cultivation where he was cut off from the surrounding.

It was some sort of enlightenment as Zhan Chen realised he had understood something. But what was it actually, he couldn't tell. Beneath the veils of colourful elemental laws, Zhan Chen started to see few ethereal strands. They were so ellusive that he had to give great attention just for to see them.

Every elemental laws of the heaven and earth existed as these strands. The divine symbols that the formation masters use were derived from these colourful strands. Beyond the elemental laws, what existed was the three supreme laws. Zhan Chen didn't know that what he waw getting into was most difficult and powerful supreme laws.

He was in a state of enlightenment. So, he didn't know that his spiritual strength was depleting at a very faster rate. Seeing what existed beyond the elemental laws was an act what most formation emperors couldn't do. Zhan Chen was somehow lucky because he had the mysterious diagram with him.

The mysterious diagram activated on it's own when Zhan Chen depleted most of his spiritual energy. It provided a gentle stream of stream of spiritual energy to Zhan Chen's body and Zhan Chen used it unconsciously while trying to see through the ellusive strands which lied beyond the elemental laws.

Unlike the elements, the three supreme laws had no specific expression. There was no specific colour attributed to them. One could only feel them as they existed as the most ethereal laws governing the function of heaven and earth.

Zhan Chen didn't know that he had entered into a state of selflessness which was craved by all the cultivators who wanted to feel the heavenly way. Such a state was so rare that even he had attained such a state only two times in his previous life.

The three girls became worried after seeing Zhan Chen in such a deep cultivation. All of them went outside to ensure that no visitor would disturb Zhan Chen during such a deep cultivation.

A little girl appeared in the main hall after Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min went outside. There was amazement in her eyes as she observed Zhan Chen.
