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-class 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.
Therefore, 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 theory of spiritual root inheritance, intermarry for generations, thus giving birth to descendants with excellent spiritual roots.
Some disciples of the big families and big 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 it doesn't matter if 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, asking 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.
The attack was faster, the trapping was more accurate, and the duration of the binding was increased by one breath.
Although it was only one breath, it was a life-and-death battle, and it was enough to decide life and death at a critical moment.
The power of the fireball technique was also stronger.
Mo Hua tried it several times on purpose.
The color of the fireball became darker, and there was a hint of gorgeousness in the deep red, and the hot spiritual power was compressed and surging in it.
There was a bit of gorgeousness in the low-key, and there was a hint of danger in the gorgeousness.
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 stage 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 taught to him by Master Gui.
Then it was the spiritual consciousness.
The spiritual sense of the twelve foundation patterns is indeed much stronger than before.
The spiritual sense 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, it was still a bit difficult.
Now, drawing the thick earth formation again seems to be easy.
Already established the twelve-pattern spiritual consciousness...
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then ran to find Mr. Zhuang:
"Master, can you teach me how to destroy the spiritual consciousness?"
He still remembered what Mr. Zhuang had said before, that when his spiritual consciousness became stronger, he would teach him how to deal with spiritual consciousness parasitism.
When someone, or a non-human spiritual consciousness, spiritual consciousness, or evil thought invades the sea of consciousness, how to fight against it, or even kill it.
Now he has twelve spiritual consciousness patterns, which should be considered strong.
Mr. Zhuang counted with his fingers and said:
"It's still early, no rush, wait until your spiritual consciousness becomes stronger."
"Do you want to be stronger..." Mo Hua muttered in a low voice.
"Haste makes waste." Mr. Zhuang said gently.
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.
Then he asked again:
"Master, I have already reached the 12th level. I am tired of drawing the 11th level Thick Earth Array. Are you going to find the 12th level Absolute Array next?"
"Yes." Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, "Your current consciousness can no longer be refined by drawing ordinary formations..."
Eighth level of Qi Refining, 12th level of foundation-building consciousness.
This consciousness, like the Absolute Array, has already seriously "exceeded the standard"...
It cannot be improved by ordinary methods.
What's more, there is no method to cultivate consciousness in the cultivation world.
The consciousness is ethereal and strange, ethereal and invisible, and there are thousands of faces and thousands of differences.
It is extremely difficult to enhance the consciousness.
The visualization diagram is a trick, which is equivalent to borrowing other people's 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, will it be easier for a high-level formation master to learn these low-level Absolute Arrays?"
He had always been curious before.
The threshold of spiritual awareness required for the ultimate formation is high.
But this threshold is for the cultivation of the same level and realm.
If it is a high-level formation master with strong spiritual awareness, it should be much easier to learn some low-level ultimate formations.
But why, according to Mr. Zhuang, even for the first-level ultimate formation, there are so few formation masters who can do it?
Mr. Zhuang said, "It will be a little simpler, but not much simpler."
Mo Hua asked in confusion, "Why?"
A high-quality formation master should have a strong spiritual sense...
"Spiritual sense is the foundation of a formation master, and it is the root of a formation master." Mr. Zhuang said slowly, "But it does not mean that with spiritual sense, you can become a formation master, and you will definitely be able to learn the formation."
"Having spiritual sense only gives you the qualifications to learn the formation. If you want to master the formation, you still have to learn, think, practice, and feel it."
"This requires perseverance, and it takes a lot of time, energy, and mind."
"Not all cultivators are willing to do this and can do it."
"Even if it is just a small thing, it is difficult to persist in doing it."
"What's more, it is a difficult and obscure thing like the formation. Even many high-quality formation masters find it difficult to persist in the future."
"This is even more true for the absolute formation. The brushwork is special and difficult to learn and draw."
"Many formation masters have enough spiritual sense, but they may not be willing to practice, so naturally they can't learn it."
Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly.
"This is the first point. Even if you have spiritual consciousness, you will not be able to learn it if you don't practice."
"Just like some people, although they have talent, they are unwilling to work hard, and they will naturally achieve nothing in the end, and their talents will be 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 with spiritual consciousness can you practice, and only when you are proficient enough can you comprehend it."
"For ordinary formations, you only need to practice diligently and learn the formation patterns. There is not much to comprehend."
"But the absolute formation is different. Any absolute formation that exceeds the formation grade must have special features and must contain special formation principles..."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and said gently:
"You should have some experience of this."
Mo Hua nodded.
He learned two kinds of absolute formations, one is the reverse spirit formation.
The first grade has ten patterns, which contains the power of reverse solution of spiritual power, and requires spiritual consciousness to calculate in order to play its effect.
The other is the thick earth formation.
The first-grade eleven patterns contain the power derived from spiritual power. You need to comprehend the essence of the earth to truly master it.
For these two types of formations, it is not enough to just learn 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 essence of the Tao.
If there is no guidance from Mr. Zhuang.
Or if you don’t have a Tao monument.
It may not be possible to learn and truly use it.
Mr. Zhuang continued: "So many high-grade formation masters, although they have enough spiritual consciousness and practice enough, often cannot find the way and cannot open their minds because they lack this little perception, and ultimately they still cannot learn the formation."
"This little perception is the finishing touch."
"Without this little understanding, the whole formation is just a form without charm."
Mo Hua suddenly realized, "Just like when I draw the thick earth array, if I can't sense the essence of the Tao, I just keep drawing it blindly, then no matter how many times I draw it, it will be useless."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes."
Mo Hua was a little confused again, "But they have reached a high level and are high-level array masters, so how can they not feel it?"
"The two are related, but they are actually two different things."
Mr. Zhuang explained: "Some cultivators have a high level of cultivation, but they only master powerful spiritual power. In fact, their understanding of spiritual power and the Tao is very shallow."
"He can use spiritual power to condense a spell that destroys the world. , but if you let him experience the subtle changes in spiritual power and draw a first-grade absolute formation, it would be difficult for him. "
"When a cultivator practices, he absorbs spiritual energy, accumulates spiritual power, and uses Taoism, so that he has power that can be manifested externally."
"For ordinary cultivators, this is enough."
"But for a formation master, it is not only necessary to control the external power, but also to understand the internal principles. It is far from enough to just know how to drive spiritual power to kill."
Control the power, understand the principles...
Mo Hua seemed to understand something and nodded seriously.
Mr. Zhuang was slightly relieved to see that Mo Hua understood, and then continued:
"These are problems at the level of formation comprehension. The absolute formation contains special formation principles. Even a high-grade formation master may not necessarily be able to learn a low-grade absolute 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, which was equivalent to not having to sleep.
He had twice as much time as other formation masters.
Moreover, 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.
It seemed as if he was cheating.
Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua blinking his eyes and knew that he was thinking something. He couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he continued:
"Besides that, 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's time-consuming and laborious, 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, and then learn the second level." Second grade, then learn 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 Qianzhou, 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 can't learn them at all without the grades..."
Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.
No wonder it is called the "absolute" formation...
It is difficult to learn in itself, and the grades are progressive, and they are linked together. Once there is an accident, the inheritance will be "cut off"...
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua again and sighed:
"So you should learn as many unique formations as you can during the Qi Refining Stage, because most unique formations are based on the first-grade unique formations."
"Okay, Master!"
Mo Hua agreed, and then became 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 them yourself."
Mo Hua was startled, and then he understood a little.
Why did Mr. Zhuang bring him out and let him find the formations himself?
It was to guide him and make him proficient in spiritual consciousness calculation.
In this way, he can find the unique formations that are sealed in various places in Jiuzhou with his own abilities in the future.
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 solemn and his eyes expectant.
Mo Hua also nodded solemnly, and kept what Mr. Zhuang said firmly in his heart.
