Ancient Formation

Ancient Formations, also called Immortal Formations, are Formation Diagrams with concrete layouts. There are currently 11 Ancient Formations.
== General Information ==
"Ancient Formations are surely powerful, but Formations created on your own can also be as destructive." - A loading tip.Ancient Formations are special Layouts with Level 5 Pillar and Auxiliary Nodes exclusive to the layout.
Each Pillar has an Unique Truth of Formation, and a list of Bonuses that are applied when a certain amount of Nodes have their activation conditions fulfilled.
=== Differences between Ancient Formation Diagrams and player created Diagrams. ===
Ancient Formation Diagrams can not be copied. This limits the possible configurations on a single Ancient Formation to 3. However, due to the unique Item requirements, most Diagrams can have only a single Active Configuration with all Active Nodes.
Ancient Formation Diagrams have their layout frozen. As a result, the Nodes can't be switched out, nor can they be used in other Diagrams.
==== Activation Conditions ====
The Nodes used in Ancient Formation Diagrams have special Activation Conditions. All listed conditions must be fulfilled for Activation.

=== Acquisition Method of Ancient Formation Diagrams ===
All 11 existing non-DLC Xiandao Sects have an item in their Sect Location with an Ancient Formation Diagram. Due to its location, generally in the upper center, guarded by multiple Sect Elder cultivators, and on a Display, stealing one can be difficult. Conquest of the Sects with Ancient Formations you're interested in is another option.
Meditating on a Diagram Item with a Cultivator with at least Lv 20 Formations Skill Level will grant the related Manual containing the LayoutStory_Item_ZhenTu. The Manual also boosts Formation related properties for the cultivator, and can be Transcribed into the Manual Pavilion. After it's Transcribed, it can be learnt by anyone due to its low State requirement.
