Chapter 2 Dao Monument

As long as Mo Hua can remember, this Taoist stele has appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, along with some vague memories.

In his memory, Mo Hua spent a short life in another world without spiritual energy.

In that life, Mo Hua came from an ordinary family, but he studied hard, had good grades, and was admitted to university, majoring in fine arts. He liked to study Chinese painting and calligraphy.

After graduation, he joined a large company as an artist, worked overtime, and died of overwork in his twenties.

He studied as a student and worked after graduation, and spent his whole life in tension and anxiety.

When he came to his senses, he found that he lived in a muddle and died unexpectedly.

In the moments before his death, his life experiences passed by like a revolving lantern.

In his life, he had never done anything truly valuable: he had not been filial to his parents, had not pursued his ideals, had no dreams, had no love, and had not seen the scenery of the world...

These memories are vague, and Mo Hua sometimes can't tell the truth from the false.

Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly, but I don't know if it was Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuangzi.

After a long time, Mo Hua stopped worrying about it.

The past is the past. Now he is only ten years old, and the world he lives in is the world of cultivation.

And he is a cultivator.

A cultivator who can fully understand the way of heaven, soaring the nine states, picking the sun and the moon with his hands, and burying the stars with his hands!

Of course, he can also be a cultivator who has been practicing Qi all his life, can neither fly nor fight, can only use a few spells, and makes a living in a humble way...

Without the Dao Monument, Mo Hua estimated that he should be the latter.

The Dao Monument is suspended in Mo Hua's sea of ​​consciousness.

It is broad and ancient, with strange shapes and incompleteness. The body of the monument seems to be empty, and it seems that there is a vast and obscure breath floating in it. In a trance, it is as quiet as the void, with nothing...

The empty monument surface can be used to draw formations, and every time a formation is drawn, Mo Hua's consciousness will be enhanced.

In the cultivation of Taoism, formations are the most respected!

Formation is the most difficult category to learn in all the industries of cultivation, and the most important thing to learn formation is spiritual consciousness!

Formation is composed of formation patterns, which are the patterns of heavenly way drawn by ancient cultivators after they painstakingly comprehended the heavenly way.

The patterns of formation are like ancient words and simple paintings, which contain infinite mysteries.

When drawing formation, the sea of ​​consciousness communicates with the mysteries of heaven, which will consume a huge amount of spiritual consciousness.

If the cultivator's spiritual consciousness is insufficient, he cannot draw formation, otherwise it is easy for the spiritual consciousness to be exhausted, or even the sea of ​​consciousness will be broken and the body will die. To become a formation master, you need to constantly learn various formation diagrams and practice various formations.

Therefore, formation is difficult to learn and practice, and formation masters are also prone to collapse of the sea of ​​consciousness and die due to insufficient spiritual consciousness.

When Mo Hua draws formation on the Dao Monument, it will consume spiritual consciousness, but when he erases the formation he has drawn, these spiritual consciousness will be instantly returned, making Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness full.

From existence to non-existence, and then from non-existence to existence, just like the Great Dao, it is extremely mysterious.

At the same time, every time Mo Hua draws a formation, his spiritual consciousness will increase slightly, although it is small, but it is indeed increasing.

As far as Mo Hua knows, there is no method to cultivate spiritual consciousness in the cultivation world, and the enhancement of spiritual consciousness mostly depends on the breakthrough of realm.

Therefore, even if the increase in spiritual consciousness is very small, it is extremely rare.

As long as Mo Hua keeps drawing formations on the Dao Monument, he can improve his formation level. At the same time, as long as he keeps drawing formations, his spiritual consciousness will continue to increase.

With a strong spiritual consciousness, Mo Hua can learn more, higher-level, and more powerful formations.

One day, Mo Hua can use this to become a powerful formation master.

The status of a formation master is respected. Even if it is just an ordinary formation master who has not entered the first grade, he will have a considerable income of spirit stones by drawing formations for others.

Once you become a formation master, draw various mysterious formations, and have a foundation for your own life, you can continue to practice, and you will not be just a Qi Refining cultivator for your whole life.

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

But becoming a formation master is also full of difficulties.

Formations are difficult to learn, and it is difficult to be a formation master.

Among the categories of cultivation set by the Dao Court, the identification of formation masters is the most strict, even the most stringent.

Formations are composed of formation patterns. The basic formation contains only one formation pattern. With each additional formation pattern, the formation will be upgraded to a higher level, the effectiveness of the formation will be enhanced, and the required spiritual awareness will be greatly increased.

Draw one to five formation patterns and you can be a formation apprentice.

Draw six to eight formation patterns and you can be called a formation master, but this kind of formation master is just an ordinary formation master and is not among the ranks recognized by the Dao Court.

Only by drawing nine formation patterns and passing the Dao Court's assessment can you become a true first-grade formation master.

Becoming a first-grade formation master is almost like ascending to heaven for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Period.

First-class formation masters are basically guests of honor in major families and sects. Even cultivators in the foundation-building stage dare not offend them easily. Even if they do nothing, they will receive spiritual stone allowances from the Taoist Tianshu Pavilion every month, and countless young and beautiful female cultivators will rush to their doorsteps to become Taoist companions.

In addition to the extremely difficult assessment of first-class formation masters, there are also limited quotas in each state. To become a first-class formation master, it depends not only on hard work, but also on destiny.

If you are unlucky, the number of places in your state is limited. Even if you have the formation attainments of a first-grade formation master, you will not get a place for the fixed grade, and you can only wait for the next assessment.

Some formation masters waste their lives while taking exams.

Countless low-level cultivators have worked hard and studied hard until their hair turned gray, but they have never achieved their long-cherished wish of being promoted to a first-grade formation master.

The so-called quota limit of the Dao Court is generally just an excuse for the internal appointment of large families and large sects. They need the title of first-grade formation master to add icing on the cake for their direct or direct disciples, making them geniuses that everyone pays attention to.

Those low-level cultivators who work hard to become a first-grade formation master are just dust under their feet.

It was already night, and Mo Hua was lying in the bedroom of the disciple's residence, but his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he kept drawing formations on the Dao stele.

The formation drawn by Mo Hua is called the dual-element formation, which contains two formation patterns and is considered one of the basic formations.

But Mo Hua had never successfully drawn this formation before.

Because of their insufficient spiritual awareness, disciples in the early stage of Qi training can generally only learn formations containing one formation pattern. Among the disciples in the early stage of Qi training in the outer sect of Tongxian Sect, there are only a few who can learn a complete formation pattern.

But Mo Hua has already mastered a single formation pattern and can draw it with ease.

Mo Hua wanted to learn a more difficult formation, so every night he practiced a dual-element formation containing two formation patterns on the Dao Monument.

After dozens of nights of repeated practice and hard work, Mo Hua finally succeeded.

For a formation master to learn formations, each formation pattern is a threshold. Drawing one more formation pattern means climbing a ladder.

Mo Hua's ability to draw two formation patterns means that his spiritual awareness and formation level are much higher than those of his peers.

Among the disciples in the early stage of Qi training in the outer sect of Tongxian Sect, his formation level should be considered unique.

Mo Hua heaved a sigh of relief, and when the morning came, his consciousness left his sea of ​​consciousness, and he opened his eyes.

Although he had been drawing formations all night, Mo Hua was still clear-minded and did not feel tired, as if he had just had a good sleep.

He opened the window, and the morning sun shone on his fair face.

The morning sun rose outside the window, and the clouds covered the sky.

The ten-year-old Mo Hua exhaled lightly, looking at the scenery on the horizon, his eyes were firm.

As long as he kept practicing formations and honing his consciousness, one day he would definitely become a first-class formation master.

By then, like the rising sun, he would take a big step towards seeking immortals and asking for the way.

His life would no longer be just about refining qi!
