After celebrating the New Year lively, Mo Hua turns thirteen.
He had grown in stature, but only a little, and he didn’t look much different. He was still the same little monk.
As for ink painting, in addition to daily drawing formations, the main focus is on cultivation.
He has completed the sixth level of Qi refining, and it won’t be long before he reaches the bottleneck of his cultivation and faces the threshold of the middle stage of Qi refining.
As long as you break through the bottleneck, you can become a monk in the late stage of Qi refining.
In the later stages of Qi refining, foundation building is even closer.
The world of cultivation is vast and there are countless monks. During the Qi refining period, they are just ants, and becoming a foundation builder is the first step to change one’s own destiny in cultivation.
Building the foundation is the foundation for cultivating the Tao.
No matter what the Taoist heart is, if you don’t build the foundation, everything will be empty talk.
On this day, Mo Hua got up at Mao hour and practiced as usual.
Suddenly the sea of qi trembled, and spiritual power began to flow rapidly.
Mo Hua perked up, took out the spirit stone, and practiced quietly. These spiritual stones were refined by the ink paintings to form pure spiritual power, which gathered into the sea of qi of the ink paintings until it overflowed.
Then it was the same bottleneck that Mo Hua encountered when he first broke through.
These overflowing spiritual powers travel up the meridians and converge toward Baihui. When they reach the Tianmen point, they seep inwards into the sea of consciousness like silk threads, and weave freely in the sea of consciousness, condensing into a spiritual curtain.
This spiritual curtain is the mystery formation and the bottleneck that needs to be broken through when practicing Tianyan Jue.
Mo Hua had both expectations and apprehensions in his heart. He calmly concentrated and began to understand the mystery array.
After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
There are hundreds or even thousands of formation patterns on these mysterious formations. They are disorganized, numerous and complex. If you are not an formation master, you will have no clue at all.
But when he looked closely at the ink paintings, he found that most of the formation patterns, even though they were uncommon and constantly changing, did not break away from the category of Five Elements formation patterns, and he could recognize them.
As long as you can recognize it, there is a way to solve it.
Mo Hua recalled the basic points of breaking up the formation, and began to crack them one by one using the rules of the five elements to create and destroy the formation, the formation patterns to melt, and the spiritual power to move forward and reverse.
Half a day passed, and Mo Hua unraveled more than ten formation patterns.
Mo Hua was delighted.
The process of dismantling the formation was smoother than he thought.
Thanks to Mr. Zhuang’s teachings and Mo Hua’s day and night practice, including his understanding and application of the first-level formation, Mo Hua’s current level of formations, including his experience in formations, is already considered one of the few among first-level formation masters. .
He can already decipher these mysterious formations on his own by relying on his own formation skills.
On top of the mystery array, the spiritual power gossamers are intricately intertwined, the array patterns are densely covered, and they are constantly flowing.
This mysterious formation that makes ordinary monks unable to do anything and makes ordinary formation masters change their expressions is already clear in Mo Hua’s eyes and is no longer a problem.
All the efforts spent on the formation before were worth it.
It’s just that there are too many puzzles, and it will take some time to solve them.
In this way, Mo Hua forgot to eat and sleep, day and night, and devoted himself to solving the mystery.
Sometimes my mind wanders while eating and walking. Sometimes I frown, sometimes realize, sometimes meditate, and sometimes my eyes light up.
Seeing this, the monks around him knew that Mo Hua was probably trying to figure out some difficult problem, so they quietly did not disturb him.
Finally, a month later, Mo Hua solved all the puzzles.
The spiritual curtain dissipates inadvertently, the mystery array is instantly solved, the gossamer spiritual power gradually disappears, and finally merges into the sea of consciousness of the ink painting.
Mo Hua’s sea of consciousness has expanded, his spiritual consciousness has become deeper, and his spiritual power has become stronger.
He finally broke through the bottleneck and became a monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The seventh level of Qi refining is the late stage of Qi refining! Mo Hua was overjoyed. His cultivation had finally taken a crucial step forward. From now on, he just had to work steadily, step by step, and move toward foundation building step by step.
When Mo Hua reached the later stage of Qi Refining, those who were happier than Mo Hua were naturally Liu Ruhua and Mo Shan.
According to custom, they entertained the surrounding neighbors and some monks with whom they had close friendships.
Mo Hua also received a lot of gifts, from Elder Yu, Master Chen, Mr. Feng, the demon hunter, Master Luo and other formation masters also sent gifts.
In terms of cultivation, be diligent in cultivation and persevere. Pay attention to every drop of water to penetrate the stone, and everything will come naturally. There are no shortcuts in this book, and there is nothing to say.
In terms of Taoism, Mo Hua wants to learn one or two more spells to prepare for emergencies.
In the later stage of Qi refining, although the strength is stronger, the dangers faced may also be greater. It is still necessary to have one or two more spells without being overwhelmed by one’s skills.
It’s just that I don’t know who to learn from ink painting at the moment.
If he were to learn it by himself, there would be no suitable magic books.
It’s not easy to go to Puppet Lao. Puppet Lao has already taught Mo Hua how to fish. Mo Hua can’t go to Puppet Lao to ask for fish.
When it’s time to think of a solution on your own, you still have to think of a solution on your own.
But there is no rush for this, you can take your time.
What made Mo Hua hesitate the most was the formation.
He is already at the level of a first-grade formation master, and has learned the more difficult first-grade restoration formation, but his cultivation is still far from the foundation-building stage. If he cannot build a foundation, he will naturally not be able to become a second-grade formation master.
So what formations did he learn during this period?
Have you been learning to return to the formation?
Mo Hua is already familiar with the general resumption formation, but the more difficult resumption formation is just that the strength of the formation center is too high and Mo Hua’s spiritual awareness is insufficient, so he cannot learn it yet.
However, Mo Hua was already familiar with the principles of the complex formation, especially the Five Elements formation pivot. If he continued to learn it, he would only expand the breadth of the formation and would not be able to learn anything deeper.
When you learn ink painting, you will feel bored.
Then do you want to learn the big formation?
Mo Hua’s understanding of the Great Formation is still very superficial. He only knows that the Great Formation is a large-scale complex formation, and knows little about other things.
And even if you want to learn the Grand Formation, the most you can do with ink painting is practice on the Dao Monument in the Sea of Consciousness, and you can’t actually draw it at all.
Because the formation is extremely expensive, it requires large-scale formation media, massive amounts of spiritual stones, and a lot of manpower. This is not what ink painting can do.
In addition, there is one thing that Mo Hua does not understand, and that is divine consciousness.
Mo Hua’s spiritual consciousness is already very strong, stronger than the average monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even the average first-level formation master’s spiritual consciousness is far inferior to Mo Hua’s.
But compared to the spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage, the ink painting is still far behind.
The spiritual consciousness of Mo Hua is still growing. With the help of Taoist tablets, his spiritual consciousness will be strengthened. Practicing the formation will hone his spiritual consciousness. In the future, if he breaks through the realm, his spiritual consciousness will still grow.
Will there be a day when his consciousness, before he has yet to establish a foundation, will be comparable to that of a monk in the foundation establishment stage?
Where is the boundary between the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage?
This was beyond the scope of Mo Hua’s cognition, so Mo Hua went to visit Mr. Zhuang.
When Mr. Zhuang saw the ink painting, his expression was calm, but he sighed inwardly:
“This child’s consciousness has become stronger again…”
He didn’t even know how to teach him well.
Mo Hua bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhuang, and then asked: “Sir, should I learn to resume the formation next?”
“Learn as always.”
“oh.”
Mo Hua felt that the return formation was a bit boring, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
Mr. Zhuang asked: “What is the mystery formation of your sea of consciousness this time?”
Mo Hua thought for a while and said: “It’s still the Five Elements Formation, but the level of the Mystery Formation is a bit higher. Most of it is a first-level formation, and it also includes some complex formations.”
Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and sighed: “In this case, it will be difficult for you to build the foundation.”
