Chapter 205: Formations (2/2)

When she was done, she sent the inscription towards her Divine Qi which still occupied the empty space between the door frame. As soon as the two connected, the door started to form. In a single breath of time, the door looked as good as new.

Just when Xue Li thought she was done, Xue Jinghua suddenly made a large circle in the air then started to draw more symbols in it, but this time the symbols were much more complicated.

”Mother, you're making a formation?”

Formations:

Formations were a series of inscriptions that came together to make something powerful.

There are beginner, intermediate, and advance level inscriptionists, but it's only when one could make a formation could they be considered an inscriptionist.

Just in this country, the number of advanced level inscriptionists only numbered in the dozens, but in 1 sect they numbered in the thousands. This was a sect that was recognized as being the country's strongest sect. The only sect that the Divine Sword sect and Chaos sect would never provoke, not even by accident. A sect that was rumored to produce cultivators so strong they could level an entire sect with only a handful of experts. This was the sect that founded the country's Royal Court.

”They didn't call me over here to just fix a broken door. This house has a spirit containment formation around it, and right now there's a small crack in it,” Xue Jinghua explained.

After the door broke down it left a small crack in the overall formation. If she were to leave it alone for a few more days, the crack would grow bigger and bigger till the whole formation collapsed.

Xue Li knew about the spirit containment formation, but she never learned how to make one, or any other formation for that matter. Before one could learn how to make formations, they would need be proficient in drawing inscriptions. Xue Li grew up watching her mother make inscriptions and even became familiar with all of them over time, but since every inscription required the caster to use their own spirit Qi, Xue Li had to wait till she was 18 years old to start practicing it.

After a few minutes, the spirit formation circle in front of Xue Jinghua was sent towards the door, making it glow for a few seconds before returning back to normal.

”Is that it? That was quick,” Xue Li said.

”Like I said, it was just a crack. If I had to do the whole thing from scratch it would've taken me a few hours to finish.”

Despite how easy Xue Jinghua made it seem, Xue Li knew it was an extremely difficult thing to do, so she only admired her mother's abilities even more.

”Mother, the moon is up and the sky is dark. If we're done here, shall we return back home now?”

Xue Li was a very talented young girl, but the thing she lacked the most was a general interest and motivation. That was the reason why Xue Jinghua brought her along. By showing her what she could do, she hoped that she could rekindle that flame of desire within her to learn more about inscriptions. However, contrary to her expectations, Xue Li wasn't motivated at all.

”That's a good idea, Little Li, but I think I've got a better one.”
