Grandmaster versus great grandmaster
Chi Shang confirms Fang Yuan’s reading: formation path great grandmasters can use the natural dao marks of the surroundings and need fewer Gu worms. In places with abundant natural dao marks, mortal Gu alone can form an immortal Gu formation. At grandmaster level, cultivators can only use dao marks inside Gu materials and immortal materials; those materials are destroyed after long use. Great grandmasters go one step further and also use surrounding dao marks according to the environment. Chi Shang also states that the essence of formation path is to create environments. ch. 1333
