Chapter 307: Setting Up His First Ever Formation Array (2/2)

Just as Xukong finished explaining, runes started appearing in the air, denoting that the formation was now ready.

”Do it!” Xukong ordered.

Lin Mu's spirit sense connected with the formation plate and the entirety of the courtyard was now covered in formation runes. First, they were clashing with each other and seemed to be incompatible, but then with Senior Xukong pointing out the mistakes, Lin Mu corrected them.

Usually, this would have been quite difficult for Lin Mu to do, as he practically had no formal training with the creation of the formations. But with the pre-made components and Xukong's instructions, it was a piece of cake for him.

Lin Mu was able to rectify the mistakes with the help of the formation plate, as it did whatever he commanded it to with his spirit sense. About thirty minutes later, the entire formation array stabilized and the runes faded away.

But Lin Mu could still feel the connection with the entire formation array and knew that if he wanted he could activated, deactivate and even destroy the entire thing at will. It would not even need a snap of his fingers, and the entire thing would detonate.

But of course, that was not something Lin Mu wanted. These were just the features that were available to him. Along with the illusory feature, Xukong was also able to modify a couple of components in it, to add a mild bewildering formation to it as well.

Now with the combination of them all, if anyone were to look at the location the courtyard was located it, they would only see the other adjoining houses. It was as if the courtyard did not exist. And if someone accidentally touched the wall of the courtyard, for example, they would not think there is a courtyard there at all.

Their perception would be distorted by the formation array. But of course, there were limitations to the formation array, it was not all-powerful. The formation array could sustain itself for a few years or even up to a few tens of years as long if everything went well.

But if some damage was inflicted on itself, the spirit qi storage of the formation array would deplete, which would then reduce the time for which it could stay active. Another thing was the while this formation array could affect the commoners it was not the same for the cultivators.

In the case of cultivators, at most those below the Dao shell realm would be fooled by it. The perception of the Dao shell realm was in a completely different league because of which most common formations would not work on them.

There were also a few exceptions, such as if there was a formation expert who was passing by. If the formation expert had a high enough attainment, he or she would instantly be able to detect the illusory formation. Thought whether they would be able to resolve it was dependant on their strength.

Having completed this entire task, Lin Mu took a breath of relief and returned to his room to replenish the spirit qi he had spent.
