Two Formations

In a secluded valley near the very edge of the Jade Dragon Empire trial lands, a lone youth was standing amidst a sprawling formation that had been etched into the ground. The ground had been smoothed away, leaving a flat and smooth surface of bare rock. 

On that surface, thousands of intricate formation runes had been carved, forming a large circle of mesmerizing patterns. At dozens of nodes within the formation circle, even more intricate and profound formation disks had been placed. The disks were clearly on a level far beyond the large formation circle, and was something only the most skilled of formation experts would be capable of creating.
