Chapter 7 - Tao was never a must

"Yeah, it will be fun watching the reaction of the world."

"I can understand that you want to cause a storm in the world by the appearance of a float formation, and I will be at the center of this formation.

Well, I was prepared for this since I had the idea of making a deal with you, so what are your conditions?"

"I am unsure for now, more importantly, what is the material used as a power source in your continent?"

"Magic essence, mortal core, crystals, this three are what mostly used"

"So the mortal core can be used huh" he transmitted a mental order to the leaf-fairy to lend on Theia hands.

"How miraculous," Theia places her finger at the head of the little thing witch in return act like an obedient little child, the more she looks at it the more she can't believe this thing is just formation creature.

"I'll send you a spell so receive it and put it inside your sea of consciousness" he then sent the spell to her by mental message.

The moment Theia activated the spell inside her sea of consciousness she felt a connection between her and the leaf-creature, she felt the creature absorbing from her essence, it looks like Amon set the formation to absorb power essence from the user as a power source, Theia orders it to fly up, then to go down, then to return at her hand, it was astonishing.

"Don't people need Tao to build a formation? How can you make such a complicated formation with your cultivation level, and even if you have high cultivation is it even possible to understand more then one Tao?" it is really weird he is just at the elite realm so how can he feel any Tao?

"let's not talk about the possibility to understand more than one Tao, people need Tao to build a formation but that depends on the formation that you want to make."

"How so?"

"allow me to ask first, what is Tao?" looks like people from this world barely understand Tao

"fragments of specific laws that you can feel it at the crown realm, understanding the Tao is the gate to understanding Laws, for me, I have a fire Tao, it helps me a little in controlling my phoenix fire but that's all"

"Let me put it in an understandable way for you. Understanding the Laws means you have full access to the elements related to them if you have a "Fire Law" that's mean you can See the Fire elements, Feel it and Order it.

Tao is the same. You can See the Fire elements. You can Feel it, and you can Control some of it with hard work, but you can never Order it.

the moment you can Order fire elements is the moment you achieved a Fire Law, then you will be a Law user and will have nothing to do with Tao."

Theia took a moment to absorb these terrifying pieces of information, if what he said is true then, then they were walking on the wrong road!

"Then what about the four families?" she starts being suspicious.

"My theory is The four ancestors of the four families must have encountered a stroke of good luck, and they absorbed the space Law, I am certain they can make strong formations with Space Law, as for the formation that they make now, maybe it is their clans next generations using space Tao, and I am sure all big powers in the continent have hints about what is Tao and Law."

"So it is like that," if the four ancestors have space laws then she must re-evaluate their powers.

"But understanding a Tao or a Law won't make a formation master, I notice that you or maybe the whole world tends to connect the Tao to "the formation", but you must know, the Tao or a Law are just ingredients that serve a purpose inside a formation and can be replaced if there is a replacement." Amon arranged the table again as they set down, completing an explanation

The formation craft is a whole world in itself. The uses of formation can embrace every part of science or alchemy, magic or cultivation, or the whole concept of "civilization". It can change war results or make poor kingdom into a flying paradise, but that wholly depends on the formation master himself.

The professional masters use space Tao or Law every time they make a formation so that all the ingredients will hide in a separate space from the world and you will see nothing but a circle with some unknown runes.

Seeing the glowing runes people constantly think the Tao fills up the formation that is why it's working, but they never discover the "hiding" ingredients.

they made it a general rule in their teaching that the "Tao is the formation", the Tao masters never explain, the more Ignorance of people the more "blessing" to them, only their students or families "must" know about this. If a genius person is born and cracked the formation, it will be a disaster, that is why they never try to correct the misunderstanding. And there are more reasons aside from that.

But what they never try to explain is that "formations need ingredients besides the Tao."

and not "Tao is not always needed inside formation"

because they never know it themselves. They tried running formation without Tao but without avail.

Naturally, capable people know the Tao is not the key player inside the formation and there are other important parts, but it makes no difference. Formation craft is difficult just like Alchemy.

As for people inside the Primordial realm, it is even possible they put formation as a synonym for space Tao or something like that because of the monopoly of the four families.

"Sigh, my view for everything changed, be it for Tao, law or formation, to think people lived for hundreds of thousands of years like morons and am one of them, but when you look at it, the four families played a rule in this, they really deserve to be damned," Theia has a complicated look of sadness, anger, and helplessness. It goes without saying that it is not for the common people but for her and her family and followers.

"I don't think so, they did what any smart person should do, An ignorant enemy can be controlled better than a smart one, to take absolute control of people any successful ruler must govern their emotions and knowledge."

"Amon, you are surprising me more and more, and it's hard to believe you are only one year old, it's not about intelligence but knowledge, we Phoenix clans believe in rebirth, we ourselves undergo an evolution with a condition of burning to death to be fulfilled to evolve or rebirth from our ashes as a new person. Maybe the same happens to you. but, You don't have to tell me, I will figure your secrets one day, just wait," she looks at him without her arrogant look but a rare smile that she shows only to a few.

"Why waiting for? I'll tell you myself the moment I make you mine, and don't bring that 'I am a married woman' things to me because I don't care," Amon looked at her eyes, he really doesn't care if she is married or not, as he set his resolve to make her his woman.

"I don't believe in love or these things, but I am an open-minded person, so there is no certainty in this world, maybe one day you shall be a capable man to do what you say, maybe you will die before even trying, but for now, you are my friend, and I have never put a man as a friend," indeed she never put a man in her eyes, she is a self-made woman that only depended on herself, she gained many friends but all of them are strong women like her, she only meet her 'husband' in the king palace hall or some important events but most her time she is away from him and the palace, her marriage with him was set by her father and the temple as will the late king for many reasons.

"Very well, but I believe you will not get the chance to regard me as your friend for a long time for my existence shall be your yearning in the near future."
