Chapter 1438: Learning Magma Array Formation
Surprise appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes since it was the first time that he saw someone building an array formation with flowing magma.
Seeming to have sensed that he was being watched, the middle-aged man looked up and saw Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li found the middle-age man quite gorgeous with a handsome face, a chiseled nose and a straight figure.
He asked the handsome middle-aged man, “Who are you?”
The handsome middle-aged man said, “You came to my cave abode and you ask who I am?”
Qingfeng Li frowned in surprise. He asked, “Are you the Spirit Emperor Realm master during the ancient Earth era? And it was you who built the magma array formation?”
The handsome middle-aged man nodded in confirmation.
Qingfeng Li was stunned, disbelief in his eyes.
Magma Snake Empress had told him that the middle-age man who built the magma array formation on the ancient Earth had died thousands of years ago. How could he appear here and how could he have lived so long?”
In the current world of self-cultivators, the oldest self-cultivators were only four hundred years old.
Seeing Qingfeng Li’s bafflement, the middle-aged man explained, “I am not the flesh body of the man who built the magma array formation on the ancient Earth. I am only a trace of his thought, not even a soul.”
Qingfeng Li nodded with sudden understanding. Of course, a Spirit Emperor Realm master from the ancient Earth couldn’t have lived for thousands of years. He was only a thought of the man who lived.
Qingfeng li knew that some super masters would leave their thoughts in the array formations since they had some obsessions when they lived.
These obsessions didn’t die with them. For example, the middle-aged man’s physical body had died long ago but the obsession in his mind lingered and entered the magma array formation to continue the study of array formations.
Only because of his obsession, the magma cavern under the magma river had not collapsed and the magma array formation had not been destroyed.
Without his obsession, the cavern and the array formation in it would have vanished long ago under thousands of years of erosion.
Looking at Qingfeng Li, the middle-aged man smiled and said, “It’s a destiny that we meet here. Since your spirit energy could enter here, you must have studied array formation knowledge. I will teach you my magma array formation techniques, so they won’t be lost.”
“Thank you, Senior.” Qingfeng Li bowed at the middle-aged man deferentially.
Since the middle-aged man was a master on the ancient Earth and was thousands of years older than Qingfeng Li, he deserved to be called a senior.
And Qingfeng Li was grateful that the middle-aged man had offered to teach him how to build magma array formations.
Looking at Qingfeng Li, the middle-aged man said, “Magma array formation is different from other array formations since it is built with liquid magma while the others are built with solid objects.
First of all, since magma is flowing and irregular-shaped, the magma array formation is also irregular and not fixed.
To put it simply, a magma array formation can have all kinds of shapes, such as triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, diamond and hexagon. Besides shapes, it’s sizes and forms are changeable since it can turn manga into anything such as a table, a rock, a bench or a big tree.
“I gained insight of the magma array formation through the magma runes which were one of the ten runes in the nature. The magma runes are very powerful and contain great destruction energy which can burn, melt and destroy everything it encounters.”
The middle-aged man taught everything about magma array formation to Qingfeng Li, including the theory, methods, rules and runes.
In the middle-aged man’s mind, magma array formation knowledge was very difficult to understand since it had taken him one month to learn it. He estimated that it would take one or two months for Qingfeng Li to master and build a magma array formation.
But the middle-aged man had underestimated Qingfeng Li who had already learnt from Dark Night Emperor some knowledge of array formation and thus had a deep understanding of this field.
Other than his knowledge in array formations, Qingfeng Li had a deep understanding of runes and the magma array formation was a strengthened combination of array formation and runes.
Besides, Qingfng Li was a quick learner of great understanding and intelligence, and he was especially good at inference.
He concluded the knowledge he had learnt about array formation and runes before combining them with the array formation techniques taught by the middle-aged man.
It took only moments for Qingfeng Li to gain the insight of the essence of the magma array formation.
His right forefinger waved slightly in the air and drew some magma in the shape of a swimming fish.
The swimming fish was as lively as a real one and the only difference was that it was made with magma.
Seeing Qingfeng Li shaping a swimming fish with his finger, the middle-aged man was stunned.
“Genius, such a genius. He is an absolute array formation genius that only appears once in a thousand years.” The middle-aged man murmured in disbelief.
If he had not witnessed with his own eyes, the middle-aged man would never have believed that a young man who had just learnt the magma array formation could draw a swimming fish with his finger. The young man had greater talent and understanding than him.
“Little guy, I have taught you the magma array formation as a good deed, but I didn’t expect that you would understand it so soon. I’m glad I made the right decision.” The middle-aged man looked at Qingfeng Li with appreciation.
Qingfeng Li smiled but didn’t speak. He knew that the magma array formation was very broad and deep since it could turn red magma into all kinds of things, such as demonic beasts, plants, animals, mountains, rivers and even humans.
He had understood the superficial part of the magma array formation and could only make a swimming fish right now.
But it was a good beginning for Qingfeng Li. He would gain speed in his future study.
“Senior, thank you for teaching me the array formation. Is there any thing that I can do for you?” Qingfeng Li asked deferentially.
After a moment’s consideration, the middle-aged man said, “I was a member of the Magma Array Formation Sect on the ancient Earth. If there are some disciples of my sect in the world now, I hope you can take care of them.”
