Chapter 403: Absolute Formation (only One Update Today)

Mo Hua is already fourteen years old.

The life span of a cultivator is long, and ordinary Qi-refining cultivators can live for about one or two hundred years.

A cultivator in his teens is not old.

Bai Zisheng told Mo Hua that in some large families, cultivators under the age of eighteen are considered children.

Because cultivators from aristocratic families generally have high cultivation and long life spans, more than ten years is nothing at all.

But in Tongxian City or other lower-level immortal cities, most casual cultivators may stop at the Qi-refining stage for their entire lives.

So those over fifteen years old are considered young boys.

If there is no way to cultivate Taoism and the cultivation cannot be improved, one must find a way to learn a cultivation skill and support oneself in the future.

This is the case with Dahu, Dazhu and the others.

Dahu and the other two learned to hunt monsters, and Dazhu learned to refine weapons.

All for the sake of having a full meal.

Mo Hua is already a first-grade formation master and can support himself, but he still looks young.

First, he was born weak and grew slowly, so he was shorter than his peers.

Second, he looked thinner because he had never practiced physical training.

Like Da Hu and Da Zhu, they were big and tall, and they practiced physical training, so they were only three or four years older than Mo Hua, but they were much taller than Mo Hua.

Mo Hua couldn't help but sigh.

He also wanted to grow tall and strong.

It was a pity that he drew formations every day, which was very laborious. He ate a lot, but he didn't grow much...

He was fourteen years old now, and he was only a little taller than when he was thirteen.

Junior Brother Bai Zisheng was a head taller than him, and Junior Sister Bai Zixi was tall and half a head taller than him.

In addition, Mo Hua had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a fair face, and looked like a porcelain doll, which made him look even younger.

"When can I grow taller?"

Mo Hua thought a little depressed.

He glanced at Bai Zisheng, who was sitting on his left, and then at Bai Zixi, who was sitting on his right, and said silently in his heart:

"At least it has to be higher than the junior sister..."

Bai Zixi glanced at him suspiciously, "What are you thinking about?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Nothing!"

...

In addition, Mo Hua's realm has also reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

He is one step closer to the foundation building.

The improvement of realm has made Mo Hua's body a little stronger.

But he is not a physical cultivator, so this improvement is just a mosquito leg and has little significance.

His spiritual power has also increased.

But his spiritual roots are not good. Although the cultivation method he cultivates is peculiar, the peculiarity lies in his spiritual consciousness, not in his spiritual power.

So the spiritual power he cultivates is not much, it can only be said to be mediocre.

Compared with ordinary cultivators, it is not much worse.

But compared with his junior brothers and sisters, or the children of other families and sects, it is estimated that it is far behind.

He remembered what Mr. Zhuang said, that the noble families and sects, according to the study of spiritual root inheritance, intermarried for generations, thus giving birth to descendants with excellent spiritual roots.

Some disciples of the big families and sects are full of excellent spiritual roots.

Mo Hua's spiritual roots, which are of medium or even lower quality, are really not up to par.

But if it's not up to par, then it's not up to par.

Anyway, he doesn't rely on this to make a living.

Mo Hua is a formation master, and he must use formations as the foundation of his life.

Mr. Zhuang also pointed the way for him and asked him to "prove the truth with spiritual consciousness".

Besides, the spiritual roots of cultivators are innate and cannot be changed, so there is no point in entangled with this.

After reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, Mo Hua's spells have become stronger.

First of all, the concealment technique.

Now it is basically impossible for cultivators in the early stage of foundation building to see through Mo Hua's concealment technique.

The effect of the water prison technique has also been enhanced.

It is faster to act, more accurate to trap people, and the time of binding has also increased by one breath.

Although it was only a breath, the life-and-death battle was enough to decide life and death.

The power of the fireball technique was also stronger.

Mo Hua tried it several times on purpose.

The color of the fireball became darker, with a hint of gorgeousness in the deep red, and the hot spiritual power was compressed and surging in it.

In the low-key, there was a bit of gorgeousness, and in the gorgeousness, there was a hint of danger.

Mo Hua couldn't help but wonder.

If he kept practicing the fireball technique like this and practiced the fireball technique to the extreme, what would the effect be? How powerful would it be?

Mo Hua tried to think about it, but couldn't think of it.

He had no idea what the effect of the spells after the foundation-building realm would be.

When he had time, he would ask Master Gui.

Master Gui should know.

After all, his fireball technique was taught by Master Gui, and the skills of using the spells were also told to him by Master Gui.

Then there was the spiritual consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness of the twelve foundation-building patterns was indeed much stronger than before.

The spiritual consciousness is more acute, the calculation is faster, and the perception of the surrounding spiritual energy is clearer.

Although the eleven-pattern thick earth formation was proficient before, it was still a bit difficult.

Now the thick earth formation is more comfortable to draw.

The twelve-pattern spiritual consciousness has been established...

Mo Hua thought about it and ran to find Mr. Zhuang:

"Master, can you teach me how to destroy the spiritual thoughts?"

He still remembered what Mr. Zhuang said before, that when his spiritual consciousness is stronger, he will teach him how to deal with spiritual consciousness parasitism.

When the spiritual consciousness, spiritual thoughts, or evil thoughts of some people, or non-humans, invade the sea of ​​consciousness, how to fight against them, or even kill them.

Now he has twelve patterns of spiritual consciousness, which should be considered strong.

Mr. Zhuang counted with his fingers and said:

"It's still early, no rush, wait until your spiritual consciousness is stronger."

"Do you want it to be stronger..." Mo Hua muttered in a low voice.

"Haste makes waste." Mr. Zhuang said gently.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

Then he asked:

"Master, I already have twelve lines. I'm tired of painting the thick earth formation with eleven lines. Are you looking for the twelve lines' ultimate formation next?"

"Yes." Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, "Your current spiritual consciousness can no longer be refined to draw ordinary formations..."

Eight levels of Qi refining, and twelve lines of spiritual consciousness are established.

This spiritual consciousness, like the Jue Formation, has been seriously "exceeded"...

It cannot be improved by ordinary methods.

What's more, there is no method for cultivating spiritual consciousness in the world of cultivation.

The spiritual consciousness is ethereal, treacherous, intangible, and there are thousands of people with thousands of faces, and the differences are huge.

It is extremely difficult to enhance spiritual consciousness.

The visualization diagram is a trick, which is equivalent to borrowing people's spiritual consciousness, and it is still a bit dangerous, so it is best not to use it.

Mo Hua nodded, and then thought of another question:

"Master, would it be easier for a high-level formation master to learn these low-level formations?"

He had been curious before.

The threshold of spiritual consciousness required by Jue Zhen is high.

But this threshold is for people of the same grade and level of cultivation.

If you are a high-level formation master with strong spiritual consciousness, it should be much easier to learn some low-level formations.

But why, according to Mr. Zhuang, are there so few masters of the first-grade absolute formation?

Mr. Zhuang said: "It will be simpler, but not much simpler."

Mo Hua wondered: "Why?"

A high-level formation master should have very strong spiritual consciousness...

"Spiritual consciousness is the foundation of an formation master, and it is the foundation of an formation master." Mr. Zhuang said slowly, "But it does not mean that if you have spiritual consciousness, you can become an formation master, and you will definitely be able to learn formations."

"Having spiritual consciousness only gives you the qualification to learn formations. If you want to master formations, you still have to learn, think, practice, and understand."

“It takes perseverance and a lot of time, energy and dedication.”

"Not all monks are willing to do this and can do it."

"Even if it's just a small thing, it's difficult to keep doing it."

"What's more, it's such a difficult and obscure matter as formations. Even many high-quality formation masters will find it difficult to persevere in the future."

"This is especially true for Jue Zhen. The brushwork is special and difficult to learn and paint."

"Many formation masters have sufficient spiritual consciousness and may not be willing to practice, so naturally it is impossible to learn it."

Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly.

"This is the first point. Even though you have spiritual awareness, you won't be able to learn it without practice."

"Just like some people, although they are talented, they are unwilling to work hard. In the end, they naturally achieve nothing and their talents are wasted."

Mr. Zhuang paused and then continued:

"The second point is that even if you practice, you may not be able to learn it."

"The way of formation is based on spiritual consciousness. Only when you have spiritual consciousness can you practice it. Only when you are proficient enough can you understand it."

"Ordinary formations, just practice diligently and learn the formation patterns. There is not much to comprehend."

"But the Jue Formation is different. Any Jue Formation that exceeds the formation level must have special features and must contain special formation principles..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and said gently:

"You should feel this."

Mo Hua nodded.

He learned two kinds of absolute formations, one was the counter-spiritual formation.

The first-grade ten lines contain the power of spiritual inversion, which requires calculation by divine consciousness in order to be effective.

The other is the thick earth formation.

The eleven patterns of the first grade contain the power derived from spiritual power. Only by comprehending the earth's truth can one truly master it.

For these two types of ultimate formations, it is not just about learning the formation patterns.

It also requires a deeper understanding of spiritual power, a more sophisticated use of spiritual consciousness, and a clearer understanding of the Tao aggregates.

Without Mr. Zhuang’s guidance.

Or you don’t have a Taoist monument.

It may not be possible to learn it and actually use it.

Mr. Zhuang continued: "So many high-quality formation masters, even though they have enough spiritual knowledge and have practiced enough, because they lack this hint of insight, they often have no way to gain knowledge, and in the end they still cannot learn the ultimate formation."

"This hint of insight is the finishing touch."

"Without this glimmer of understanding, the entire formation will be just a skeleton without any charm."

Mo Hua suddenly realized, "Just like when I painted a thick earth formation, if I can't perceive the Tao Yun and just paint blindly, no matter how many times I paint, it won't help."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Mo Hua was a little confused again, "But if you have reached a high-level realm and are a high-level formation master, how can you not realize it?"

"The two are related, but they are actually two different things."

Mr. Zhuang explained: "Some monks have advanced cultivation, but they have only mastered powerful spiritual power. Their understanding of spiritual power and the Dao is actually very shallow."

"He can use his spiritual power to condense heaven-destroying spells and kill in all directions. But if you let him experience the subtle changes in spiritual power and draw a first-class ultimate formation, it will be difficult for him."

"When a monk practices, he absorbs spiritual energy, accumulates spiritual power, and performs Taoist methods, thereby possessing power that manifests externally."

"For ordinary monks, this is enough."

"But for an opponent, it is not only necessary to control the external power, but also to understand the internal principles. Just knowing how to use spiritual power to kill is not enough."

Control its power and understand its rationale...

If Mo Hua realized something, he nodded seriously.

Mr. Zhuang felt a little relieved when he saw that Mo Hua understood it, and then continued:

"These are problems in the level of formation comprehension. The ultimate formation contains special formation principles. Even a high-level formation master may not necessarily be able to learn a low-level ultimate formation."

"Are there any other reasons?" Mo Hua asked.

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Other reasons are more complicated..."

Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly:

"First of all, it's a matter of time."

"It takes time to comprehend the absolute formation, and the time of the formation master is very precious."

"You spend all your time comprehending the low-grade absolute formation, so how can you learn the high-grade formation?"

"The formation is broad and profound, and no formation master can master it with ease. He has mastered the current grade of formation and then learned other things."

"If there is, then this formation master must be a fake."

"Because the more ignorant you are, the more you think you know everything. The more you know, the more you know that you actually know very little."

"The same is true for formations."

"The more profound the formation master is, the more he knows the depth of the formation and the infinity of the great way."

"High-grade formations are difficult, and high-grade absolute formations are naturally more difficult, and low-grade absolute formations are not simple either..."

"They don't have time to take care of both."

Mo Huaqing nodded involuntarily.

Then he suddenly thought that he had a lot of time.

Because he practiced formations on the Dao Monument at night, it was equivalent to not sleeping.

That was twice as much time as other formation masters.

And the spiritual consciousness on the Dao Monument could be traced back, and the spiritual consciousness was always full.

With this calculation, he actually had several times more time to learn formations than other formation masters.

Other formation masters had limited time and could not take care of both.

So, could he not choose and have both?

Mo Hua blinked, feeling a little secretly happy and a little embarrassed.

As if he was cheating.

Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua blinking and knew that he was thinking something, so he couldn't help but laugh a little, but he didn't ask in detail, but continued:

"Besides, low-grade absolute formations are relatively useless to high-grade formation masters."

"Because of the low grade, the effect of the formation will be greatly reduced."

"It takes time and effort to learn, and it's not very useful."

"And the most troublesome thing is that some absolute formations are inherited from the same lineage according to the grade."

Mr. Zhuang said in a deep voice.

"Inherited from the same lineage?"

Mo Hua frowned, "If the level is broken, can't we learn it?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded and explained slowly:

"Ordinary formations don't care about these."

"For example, if you don't know the first-level Molten Fire Formation, it doesn't matter. You can start learning from the second level directly."

"These formations are related to each other, but they are all relatively independent formations. You don't have to follow the steps."

"But the ultimate formations are different."

"Many ultimate formations are one level after another, linked together."

"You must start learning from the first level, learn the first level, and then learn the second level. First grade, then learn the third grade, and so on from the simple to the complex. "

"And the absolute formation itself is very rare, and it is difficult to have a complete inheritance. "

"It is very likely that the inheritance of a complete set of absolute formations is scattered in different states and different forces in different places in Jiuzhou. "

"The first grade is in Lizhou, the second grade is in Kunzhou, the third grade cannot be found, the fourth grade is in Ganzhou, and there are no rumors of the fifth grade and above..."

"You can't learn the second grade without the first grade. Similarly, the third and fourth grade absolute formations behind, even if you have the formation diagram, but you are out of grade, you can't learn it at all..."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

No wonder it is called the "absolute" formation...

It is difficult to learn, and the grades are progressive, and they are linked together. Once there is an accident, the inheritance will be "absolute"...

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua again and sighed:

"So you should learn more absolute formations in the Qi Refining Stage, as much as you can, because most absolute formations are based on the first-grade absolute formation."

"Okay, Master!"

Mo Hua agreed, and then he was a little worried, "What about me in the future..."

Mr. Zhuang touched his head and said gently:

"In the future, you have to learn to find it yourself."

Mo Hua was startled, and then he understood a little.

Why did Mr. Zhuang bring him out and let him find the formation by himself?

It was to guide him and make him proficient in spiritual consciousness calculation.

In this way, with his own ability in the future, he can also find the absolute formations sealed in various places in Jiuzhou.

Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly, "Because of the reasons above, there are very few formation masters in this world who can really master the ultimate formation."

"But you are different. You have a special skill. You must master the ultimate formation, and you must master it."

"The more you learn about the ultimate formation, the better, and the more difficult the better."

"The more you learn, the deeper your understanding of the formation, the stronger your spiritual awareness, and the further you can go in the future..."

Mr. Zhuang said to Mo Hua, his tone was serious and his eyes were expectant.

Mo Hua also nodded seriously and kept what the gentleman said in his heart.
