Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 264: Laying Down a Formation

In the past, Tang Jie had only laid down small formations. He could just randomly pick a spot and lay down the formation according to the basic principles of formations. But this time, he was laying down a massive formation, and things were no longer that simple.

The size of a formation had nothing to do with its grade, only with its range of effect.

But while that was theory, in truth, the larger the formation, the more it required of the formation master. This was comparable to the difference between building a house and building a skyscraper. When the numbers got high enough, there was a qualitative shift, and the complexity became far greater than that of a small formation.

Setting the locations of the Eight Gates alone involved the several dozen kilometers around Old Crow Ridge. In other words, there would be several kilometers between each of the Eight Gates. Such a distance would undoubtedly affect precision, which would in turn affect strength, and perhaps it would even prevent the formation from successfully activating.

Tang Jie had not come to Old Crow Ridge for some Blazeraven Essence. He had a larger goal in mind, and this goal required him to set up a large formation that encompassed all of Old Crow Ridge.

This was Tang Jie's first time setting up such a large formation.

This was precisely why Tang Jie had first made a map and then begun to perform simulations on the map. Not only did this allow him to make accurate simulations, but it also allowed him to observe the terrain and see if he could exploit it.

Besides the difficulty in finding locations for large formations, there was also the problem of material.

The larger the scale, the more resources they consumed. Such a huge formation would cause Tang Jie to go bankrupt, even if he used the most ordinary of materials.

Tang Jie naturally couldn't take out that much money. Fortunately, his master, Xu Muyang, had emphasized the path of nature, the melding of formations with nature so as to borrow the power of the world, so he still had some tricks. But
