Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 463: Chapter 455: All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation_1

However, there’s no use being anxious about such matters.

Haste makes waste.

Rushing to improve one’s cultivation can easily lead to mental derangement. Especially since his current cultivation had reached the Innate Realm, he needed to be more cautious.

In the Mortal Realm, no matter how one cultivates, it is impossible to become mentally deranged.

That’s because the power cultivated in the Mortal Realm is minimal and is directly absorbed by the body. By the time one reaches the Innate Realm, the power within the body is already quite formidable, and a slight mishap can lead to the loss of control of this power, or even mental derangement.

In terms of cultivation environment, he had even more of an advantage than the Black Tiger Gang Leader, the patriarch of the Fang Family, and others. After all, cultivating within the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze, the speed was twenty times that of the outside world.

Those major clans, having a cultivation speed in secret realms that is one or two times faster than the outside world, would consider that reaching the skies.

What he currently lacked was only a high-level Elixir that could help him break through his bottlenecks.

When he tried to break through from the initial stage of the Innate Realm to the middle stage, he distinctly felt some obstacles.

He estimated that the further he would go, the more difficult it would become.

Having an Elixir at a critical moment could definitely increase efficiency twofold and help him quickly overcome the bottleneck.

Whether it was to enhance his spiritual power, to subdue the Mirage Insect sooner, or for the upcoming Water and Land Dharma Assembly, he needed to raise his cultivation level as quickly as possible.

Qin Niu no longer paid attention to the Mirage Insect but started to take inventory of the spoils of war obtained after slaying the Black and White Protectors and Elder Wu Shanle, among others.

The weapons of the Black and White Protectors were quite good, one wielded a Red Iron Chain forged from red iron, and the other wielded a crying staff forged from mysterious iron.

Both weapons were made of mysterious iron, but the Red Iron Chain had fire attributes while the crying staff was of cold attributes.

Qin Niu was planning to enter the city in a couple of days and intended to see if Master Ou could transform them into one special weapon.

Or perhaps find a way to upgrade the Ink Blade.

He noticed that after the Ink Blade absorbed the energy from the Soul Craving Tendril Staff and the soul of the Mysterious Gu Master, it seemed to have undergone some changes.

Exactly what had changed, he couldn’t pinpoint.

Weapons or pets, their growth sometimes isn’t controlled by their owner. It’s like children, all raised the same way, yet some become high officials, some become tycoons, and others end up at the bottom of society.

What the Ink Blade will ultimately develop into, nobody can predict.

Qin Niu took out a yellowed jade slip from the spoils of war.

It was found on Elder Wu Shanle.

He looked closely at the jade slip and didn’t find any text or runes carved on its surface. He knew that it was likely a high-level ancient jade slip.

It’s also known as a celestial slip.

The content is sealed inside the jade slip; one needs to press it to their forehead and use their divine power to explore the content recorded within.

He pressed the jade slip to his forehead and released a strand of spiritual power into the slip.

A torrent of information flooded into his brain.

All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation: This formation at least requires thirty-six insect spirits to set up, and once established, it can control all evil spirits and demonic overlords of the six paths. One can use the power of these spirits and demons to commit atrocities within the formation, causing dragons and monstrous creatures to rise, slaughtering all enemy beings within the formation.

The power of this formation is closely related to the insect spirits used to set it up, the proficiency of the practitioner, and the adaptability of the controller.

The more insect spirits used in the formation, the greater the power of the formation.

The higher the level of insect spirits used, the stronger they are, the more terrifying the power of the formation. Slaying deities and immortals is not out of reach, as een once slain a Golden Immortal with the help of this formation.

Having read the contents of the jade slip, Qin Niu, despite his young age and deep composure, showed an uncontainable excitement on his face.

Having witnessed the power of the Insect Formation wielded by Wu Shanle and the Mysterious Gu Master, he had been especially envious.

When he found this jade slip, he vaguely felt that it might contain the methods for setting up an Insect Formation.

Before it was confirmed, there was still an element of uncertainty.

Now that his conjecture had proven true, having learned the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation would absolutely be like adding wings to a tiger.

In future battles against formidable enemies, as long as he deployed the Insect Formation, he could immediately enhance his Insect Pets’ combat power by tenfold.

If his Green Demon Bees could be massively reproduced, reaching a quantity of thirty-six or more, the power of the Insect Formation would be terrifyingly formidable, almost beyond imagination.

Qin Niu was a pragmatist who also did not fuss over the exhaustion from traveling, and after learning the Insect Formation, he immediately summoned thirty-six Termites, directing Fourth to lead them to arrange into formation at specific positions.

Since the Insect Formation would be in constant motion, setting it up was much more difficult than ordinary formations.

After taking their positions, they still needed repeated drills to maintain the correctness of their placement at all times.

Otherwise, the Insect Formation would collapse without even being attacked.

The drilling of the entire Insect Formation could be divided into four stages. The most basic level was to draw lines, and having each Termite stand in its spot was enough to form the Insect Formation.

The second stage was to have them move uniformly forward or backward after they had become familiar with their respective positions. It was crucial that all thirty-six Termites moved together, and the position of each Termite could not be in disarray.

To achieve this was extremely difficult.

To prevent the Insect Formation from breaking due to the death of any Termite or incorrect positioning during battle, the base number of thirty-six Termites could be doubled. When the number reached seventy-two, each Termite would have a substitute.

In case a Termite died in battle or failed to take the correct position in time, a substitute Termite could replace it.

Thus, the Insect Formation would become even more stable.

Qin Niu was confident that after repeated drills, the Termites could meet the requirements of the second stage.

At the very least, they would be able to move freely, keeping the Insect Formation from chaos.

The third stage was even more difficult. It involved hundreds, or even thousands, of insects forming an array, both on the ground and in the air.

Moreover, there needed to be formations within formations, countless small formations within a large formation.

For example, there could be thirty-six groups of Insect Pets, positioned into a large Insect Formation. Then, each group of Insect Pets would form a small formation.

To reach this stage, all insect groups had to coordinate in unison and cooperate seamlessly.

Anyone who has studied management knows that the more people there are, the harder it is to manage.

The same is true for insect groups.

At the fourth stage, once the insect groups were familiar with the positions of the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation, they could freely change the formation. Dispersed they formed an array, together they also formed an array.

When scattered, each insect group was an independent Insect Formation.

They could even resonate with other insect groups from a distance, forming a super-large Insect Formation.

When gathered, they were still an Insect Formation.

Or they could be multiple Insect Formations stacking together, merging into one.

By that point, to gather or disperse at will, to form a formation however one desired, it would be quite perfect.

However, to reach this stage was incredibly challenging.

The ‘Formation Eye’ of the Insect Formation needed to become an excellent commander, and the ‘Formation Eyes’ of the smaller formations also needed to be equally excellent. Then, when commanding the entire insect group, not a single insect could fall out of line; all had to proficiently obey the commands.

It was even necessary to consider the varying strengths and weaknesses of the different insects, their crawling speeds, flying capabilities, and so on.

Qin Niu was not one for unrealistic dreams; he decided to start with the most basic drills.

He believed that with sufficient training and Fourth’s exceptional intelligence, the Insect Formation would undoubtedly get better and better.
