Chapter 268: Chapter 267: Reverse Spirit_1
“This is the Formation Diagram of the Concealnt Formation,”
Mr. Zhuang handed a Formation Diagram to Mo Hua, “Take a look at it yourself, practice more, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”
Mo Hua respectfully took it and glanced over it briefly.
The Formation Pivot of the Concealnt Formation was sowhat special, and the Formation Patterns were sowhat obscure, deviating a little from the usual Five Elents Formation, but indeed it was not too difficult—at least not for Mo Hua.
For a Formation Master learning formations, the most challenging part was actually Divine Sense.
As long as one’s Divine Sense was strong enough, with so ti and effort, generally there would be a way to solve other issues.
But if the Divine Sense was insufficient, one wouldn’t even qualify to learn Formation thods.
“Thank you, Gentleman!” Mo Hua said happily.
Mr. Zhuang gave a slight nod, his gaze deepened, then he took out another Formation Diagram and said,
“This is the complete, ten-patterned Reversed Spirit Formation!”
Mo Hua’s heart tightened as he took it seriously, and after a brief look, he traced it again in his mind and said in shock,
“Gentleman, this seems a lot more difficult…”
“Ten patterns are the limit for Qi Refining Divine Sense. The closer one gets to this limit, the slower the Divine Sense grows, and naturally, it becos more difficult,” Mr. Zhuang said slowly.
Mo Hua heaved a sigh, “I don’t know how long it will take
to learn.”
“Learn it until Foundation Establishnt,”
Mo Hua was stunned for a mont, then realized that indeed, the ten-pattern Formation could only be learned by a Foundation Building Cultivator.
If he could draw the Reversed Spirit Formation, he would indeed have the Divine Sense of soone at the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
“Gentleman, based on my current progress, how much longer will it take for
to have the Divine Sense of Foundation Establishnt?” Mo Hua asked weakly.
Mr. Zhuang did not answer, instead he asked,
“What if it took ten years, or even a hundred years?”
Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart, “A hundred years?”
“It’s just a supposition,” Mr. Zhuang said.
Mo Hua thought for a mont, then said helplessly, “It seems there’s no other way, I will just continue to cultivate and draw Formation thods as I should.”
Mr. Zhuang nodded in approval and said,
“Right, regardless of the outco, what needs to be done won’t change, don’t let success or failure, or so expectations, affect your state of mind.”
Mo Hua had a sudden realization and smiled, “Thank you for the teaching, Gentleman!”
Mr. Zhuang also smiled slightly and said, “Though that’s the case, you shouldn’t worry too much. Perhaps you’ll have so opportunity that allows you to cross this gulf in one step.”
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Mr. Zhuang said again, “It’s just a supposition.”
After speaking, Mr. Zhuang pointed at Mo Hua’s forehead with his slender finger, “Opportunities are external factors, don’t let them disturb the state of mind you have for your Tao Cultivation.”
Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened, and he said, “Disciple understands.”
Seeing Mo Hua’s clear gaze and lucid thoughts, Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said softly,
“Just focus on learning Formation thods, don’t worry about other matters. If you reach the Qi Refining Ninth Level and your Divine Sense is still not enough, I have my ways.”
Mo Hua felt warmth in his heart and smiled, “Thank you, Gentleman!”
Mr. Zhuang then waved his hand, “Go on and study Formation thods, I will take so rest.”
“Alright.”
As Mo Hua turned to leave, he suddenly thought of sothing and hesitated as if he wanted to say sothing but stopped himself.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang said, “Go ahead and ask whatever you want to ask.”
“But…” Mo Hua hesitated, “Won’t it disturb your rest?”
Mr. Zhuang lay back casually in the bamboo chair, “I’m already resting, a few words won’t make a difference.”
Mo Hua smiled and then asked, “Gentleman, is the Reversed Spirit Formation really only for breaking formations?”
Mr. Zhuang’s eyes, nearly closed, opened slightly in surprise, “Why would you ask that?”
“If it were really just about breaking the formation, it wouldn’t be this difficult…”
Mo Hua carefully said, “The Reversed Spirit Formation can break formations, but this formation is First-grade with ten patterns. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can’t even learn it, and since they can’t learn it, they usually can’t use the Reversed Spirit Formation to break it.”
“Moreover, there are many ways to break a formation, and there’s no need to exclusively use the Reversed Spirit Formation to break it, which would make this formation difficult and useless, quite like a chicken rib.”
“A chicken rib formation, even if it’s one of Heavenly Dao’s anomalies, is unlikely to be treasured by noble clans and great families.”
“If noble clans and great families attach so much importance to it, doesn’t that indicate that this formation, aside from breaking formations, has other important uses?”
Mr. Zhuang’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he then shook his head with a chuckle, “You child, you’re so sharp-witted, I really don’t know where you get all these ideas from.”
Mo Hua gave a shy smile.
Mr. Zhuang said, “There’s one thing you’ve got wrong, the Reversed Spirit Formation is not difficult and useless, on the contrary, it’s very useful.”
“Using formation patterns to break a formation, you might need to solve hundreds or even thousands of formation patterns. But by using the Reversed Spirit Formation to break it, you directly solve its formation eye, only needing to solve a few core Spirit Gathering Arrays.”
“As long as you can find the formation’s formation eye, and use the Reversed Spirit Formation to break it, the speed of breaking the formation could be dozens or even hundreds of tis faster.”
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
In that case, the Spiritual Ink saved would also be dozens or even hundreds of tis more.
Mo Hua’s Spiritual Ink was always in short supply. Being able to save so much Spiritual Ink was indeed very significant.
“There’s another thing you got right,”
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and nodded in approval, “The Reversed Spirit Formation is indeed not just for breaking formations, what’s most important is that it can cause formations to collapse!”
“Collapse?” Mo Hua’s expression turned puzzled, “Does it an the formation collapses or goes out of control?”
“It’s a collapse, but not a loss of control, more like controlling the collapse of the formation with the will of the Formation Master.”
“Controlling the collapse of the formation?” Mo Hua scratched his head, puzzled, “What’s the use of that?”
Mr. Zhuang fell silent for a long ti, his expression changing several tis, before finally sighing and then speaking,
“Formations adhere to Heavenly Dao, encompassing the fundantal principles of the universe and the operation of Spiritual Power.”
“When a formation collapses, Spiritual Power, within the frawork of the formation, becos chaotic in the form of patterns, clashing continuously, being born and annihilated, creating extrely strong fluctuations of Spiritual Power, possessing extre and unimaginable power.”
“If the classification of the formation thod is high enough, the power unleashed upon its collapse could be described as cataclysmic!”
Mr. Zhuang’s tone beca more solemn than it had ever been.
Mo Hua’s heart trembled with shock, and he was also excited.
“So, if I learn the Reversed Spirit Formation, could I also cause formations to collapse?”
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile that was not quite a smile, “By the ti you learn the Reversed Spirit Formation, you will be close to achieving Foundation Establishnt. The power of collapsing formations with a First-grade Reversed Spirit Formation can defy ranks, but it will likely only be as powerful as a Foundation Establishnt spell. Why would you bother?”
“Ah?” Mo Hua was stunned, “Then what about the Second-grade Reversed Spirit Formation?”
“You’d have to wait until you beco a late-stage Second Rank Formation Master to possibly learn that.”
A Second Rank Formation Master, and in the later stages…
That’s going to be in the distant future.
Mo Hua sighed, “Then this Reversed Spirit Formation is sowhat of a chicken rib after all.”
A First-grade Reversed Spirit Formation, First-grade masters cannot learn it, Second-grade masters have no use for it.
“It’s not that the formation thod is a chicken rib; it’s just that the Formation Masters’ capabilities are limited, and they can’t comprehend the formation, nor can they unleash its effects,” Mr. Zhuang said indifferently, “Moreover, formation collapse is not so easy. Even ordinary Second Rank Formation Masters don’t have the ability to cause a First-grade formation to collapse.”
“Or to say, there are actually very few Formation Masters in this world who can fully master the Reversed Spirit Formation and use it to collapse formations.”
Mo Hua furrowed his brow, “Is there a lot to consider when using the Reversed Spirit Formation?”
Mr. Zhuang was about to continue, but suddenly showed signs of fatigue and yawned, “If you truly learn the Reversed Spirit Formation, I will teach you then. It’s still too early now.”
