Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1281: Chapter 488: Prohibition Fusion Technique, Enhancing Strength

Min Longyu naturally wasn’t someone who gained his reputation through empty boasts.

Under Fu Jiusheng’s explanations, Luo Chen gradually came to understand.

Min Longyu had a deep knowledge of the Seven Basic Restrictions, having a solid foundation, which allowed him to advance quickly and stably in the Path of Array.

The reason he hadn’t discussed such broad conceptual knowledge with Luo Chen before was mainly because Luo Chen had no foundation in array paths at all at that time.

His understanding of restrictions was limited only to some brief exploration when unsealing the master imprints of storage bags.

Thus, Min Longyu didn’t mention the broader concept of the Seven Basic Restrictions, instead letting him start from tracing and depicting.

”Min Longyu is best at Mountain Restriction, so most of the formations he sets up rely on the power of mountain ranges and earth veins,” Fu Jiusheng elaborated with relish.

Luo Chen listened with keen interest.

Upon reflection, Luo Chen realized that Fu Jiusheng was quite accurate.

Throughout his journey, whether it was attacking Crescent Valley, the Chaos Stone Array in Gaoling Plains, or the Seven-color Array, they were all fundamentally related to Mountain Restriction.

”Is the Seven-color Array also taking into account Cloud Restriction?” Curious based on the introduction, Luo Chen asked.

Fu Jiusheng stroked his beard with a smile, ”Indeed, the Mountain Protection Array of Danxia Peak, primarily uses Mountain and Cloud Restrictions, augmented by the later added Magic Flying Swords, forming Bright Prohibition. This is why its power is so vast.”

”Additionally, things like the imprint of Spirit Consciousness and Divine Consciousness Imprint belong to Obscure Restriction.”

With Fu Jiusheng’s introduction, Luo Chen gradually gained a systematic understanding of the so-called Seven Basic Restrictions.

Mountain Restriction is thick and simple, emulating the land and mountains to form Qi restrictions.

Water Restriction prescribes a smooth and supple path like water.

Wind and Cloud Restrictions, reflect the dynamics of wind and cloud, the weather changes, sometimes hard, sometimes soft—elusive.

Anyone who masters any one of these can, when merging it into an array, increase the power several times.

The remaining Obscure, Bright, and Space Restrictions are a bit special.

Obscure Restriction is formless and intangible, either borrowing the flow of Divine Consciousness or Qi Mechanism, even incorporating karma and fate. Ordinary cultivators might know a trick or two, but when it comes to mastery, very few can boast.

Bright Restriction, as the name suggests, is all about visibility, mostly using instruments to contain restrictions. This foundational restriction covers a wide range, and days and nights wouldn’t be enough to fully discuss it.

As for the last, Space Restriction, in Fu Jiusheng’s words, is about Spacial Constraint.

Mastering this prohibition and integrating it into techniques and divine powers, one could either shrink distances or hold universes in their sleeves. The most common product of Space Restriction is the Storage Bag.

If merged into an array, it enables void teleportation, transporting over vast distances across continents or even across seas and oceans easily.

There are even rumors of celestial beings in the Immortal Realm who harbor vast Space Restrictions within themselves, allowing them to create worlds inside their bodies.

”These Seven Basic Restrictions are numerous and expansive like a sea of smoke; almost no one in the Immortal Cultivation World can master them all.”

”From these Seven Basic Restrictions, emerged Array Masters, Sealing Masters, Curse Masters, Barrier Masters, and many other schools.”

”And because the path of arrays aligns most closely with the laws of heaven and earth, showing the greatest power and also being the most practical, ordinary cultivators like us generally link restrictions and arrays together, although there are subtle differences between the two.”

Fu Jiusheng spoke enthusiastically and fluently, clearly enjoying the discussion.

Luo Chen was also listening energetically.

He originally thought of restrictions and arrays as a mother-son relationship but hadn’t realized that restrictions involved so many aspects.

Now he understood that some of the techniques he performed, manipulating Spiritual Secrets and Qi Power to create special outputs, were actually an alternative expression of restrictions.

”To hear all this from you is better than studying for ten years!” Luo Chen exclaimed emotionally.

Fu Jiusheng couldn’t help but chuckle, ”I just know a lot of common knowledge, my actual talent in arrays is quite ordinary, far inferior to a genius in the Path of Array like Min Longyu.”

”That’s still very impressive!” Luo Chen sincerely expressed.

Fu Jiusheng smiled and shook his head, ”With this chat, time has passed without us noticing, let’s not delay setting up the Trapped Dragon Array!”

Luo Chen responded, ”I’ll follow your command, just tell me wherever you need me!”

Fu Jiusheng pondered for a moment.

After a while, he finally said, ”I initially wanted you to use Qi Power to engrave the restrictions into the array base using materials. Now knowing you entered the field of restrictions through unsealing numerous storage bag imprints, it means you have some foundations in Obscure Restriction. In that case...”

”Leave the task of drawing Earth Qi and sorting out the Heaven and Earth Qi to you!”

Before, Luo Chen, relying on the system, could proudly claim ”I learn things quickly.”

But after understanding the vast and profound nature of restrictions,

he had now developed a sense of awe.

He pursed his dry lips, ”Can I do it?”

Fu Jiusheng laughed gently, ”It’s not that difficult, especially for someone with strong Divine Soul Endowment like you. Just listen carefully...”

...

Danxia Peak.

Location of the Luo Tian Sect’s gate.

The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were staying behind gathered together, all looking joyfully at Sima Huiniang seated at the head.

Under their eager gazes, Sima Huiniang put down the intelligence Jade Slip sent back by Xing Zonghan.

She smiled broadly.

”It’s a success!”

”The Supreme Elder led people to conquer a piece of Spirit Land with a Third Order Spirit Vein in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.”

At this announcement, a cheer burst out in the Hui Xin Hall.

No one had expected that they could truly succeed.
