Chapter 227: Foundation Building Divine Consciousness (5th Update)
Mo Hua was stunned.
Mr. Zhuang said: "These days, I looked through the notes of the predecessors who had practiced the Tianyan Jue technique in the sect. After a little research, I also referred to the puzzle array you encountered and found a problem."
Mo Hua was refreshed and listened carefully.
"The bottleneck of the Tianyan Jue technique varies from person to person." Mr. Zhuang said slowly.
Mo Hua was slightly surprised, "Vary from person to person?"
"Do you still remember the small words on the Tianyan Jue technique?" Mr. Zhuang asked.
Mo Hua recalled and said, "The bottleneck is in the consciousness. You must be a formation master to practice."
"The problem lies in the consciousness." Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and said, "Your consciousness is too strong. The stronger the consciousness, the stronger the bottleneck."
Mo Hua opened his mouth and asked weakly:
"If my consciousness is weaker, will it be much smoother to practice Tian Yan Jue..."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua with a smile, "Weak consciousness, weak bottleneck, the effect of the practice will naturally be weak."
Mo Hua thought about it. The benefit of Tian Yan Jue practice is to make the consciousness sharper, the control is stronger, and the formation can be drawn faster. But his own consciousness is outstanding, so this effect seems to be weaker.
"Do you think that the control of consciousness is nothing?" Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua's thoughts.
Mo Hua nodded honestly.
Mr. Zhuang said, "The purpose of Tian Yan Jue is to solve the formation through the sea of consciousness and train your control of spiritual consciousness. The more complex the formation is, the more sensitive the control of spiritual consciousness will be after the breakthrough."
Mr. Zhuang sighed, "Spiritual consciousness control is extremely important for formation masters and even for cultivators. It is related to the speed of drawing formations and the time to cast spells."
To put it simply, the formations will be drawn faster and faster, and the more you draw, the faster you can use spells.
Mo Hua nodded, "Then this technique is quite powerful, right?"
"As I said just now, it depends on the person." Mr. Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly and said:
"The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the more powerful this technique is. The weaker the spiritual consciousness, the more useless this technique is."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up.
His spiritual consciousness is not weak. Not only is it not weak, but it is also very strong.
It seems that he made the right choice at the beginning. Tian Yan Jue is the most suitable technique for him.
Mo Hua was feeling a little proud, so Mr. Zhuang poured cold water on him and said:
"Although the stronger the consciousness, the stronger the effect of the technique, but the bottleneck of breakthrough is also stronger, and the puzzle array is more complicated."
Mo Hua frowned.
Mr. Zhuang said: "Your consciousness sea maze in the middle stage of Qi Refining is already a first-grade complex array. If you want to break through the foundation, what level of maze should you solve?"
Mo Hua was shocked when he heard it, "It won't be a large array..."
"That may not be the case. Strictly speaking, although the large array is within the scope of the first grade, it is not something that a first-grade array master should learn."
"Sir, can I learn the large array now?" Mo Hua asked.
"Not yet."
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
After Mr. Zhuang said that, he didn't aim too high.
The most urgent thing is to solve the problem of the technique.
Mo Hua asked, "The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the stronger the bottleneck. How can I break through the bottleneck of foundation building in the future?"
Mr. Zhuang glanced at Mo Hua and said lightly, "It's actually simple. Just make your spiritual consciousness stronger."
Mo Hua frowned even more tightly. He realized a problem:
"Sir, if the stronger the spiritual consciousness, the stronger the bottleneck, then no matter how strong my spiritual consciousness is, the bottleneck will also be strengthened. In this case, can I really break through the bottleneck by simply strengthening the spiritual consciousness?"
Mr. Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, "So, the growth of your spiritual consciousness must exceed the limit."
Mo Hua's heart trembled, "The limit of Qi Refining and Foundation Building?"
"Yes." Mr. Zhuang nodded.
"How much difference is there in spiritual consciousness between Qi Refining and Foundation Building?" Mo Hua asked.
Mr. Zhuang said: "The spiritual power of a cultivator is quantified by the Zhoutian, but the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator is not easy to quantify uniformly."
"One of the commonly used methods is to measure the strength of the cultivator's spiritual consciousness by the range of the spiritual consciousness."
"For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the distance of the spiritual consciousness is mostly between ten and twenty feet. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the farther the distance, and the weaker the spiritual consciousness, the closer the distance."
Mo Hua nodded. When he cast a spell, he relied on his strong spiritual consciousness and the long range of the spell, so he could take advantage.
"But this method is not accurate. Some cultivators are born with the ability to project their spiritual consciousness far away, but their spiritual consciousness strength is only average. Some cultivators are not good at projecting their spiritual consciousness, but their sea of consciousness is very solid and their spiritual consciousness is also very deep."
"The most accurate way to measure spiritual consciousness is by drawing array formations."
"Drawing array formations?" Mo Hua was slightly stunned, "The number of array patterns?"
"Yes." Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Just like array masters use the number of array patterns to measure the level of array formations, using the number of array patterns to measure the strength of spiritual consciousness is the most accurate way."
"Generally, at the first level of Qi Refining, one array pattern can be drawn, and the spiritual consciousness is one pattern. If two array patterns are drawn, the spiritual consciousness is two patterns... and so on, if nine array patterns can be drawn, the spiritual consciousness is nine patterns."
"And the nine-pattern spiritual consciousness is the limit of Qi Refining cultivators."
Mo Hua thought silently, "Then the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building cultivator is ten patterns?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded.
"Only one pattern is missing?" Mo Hua was stunned.
Mr. Zhuang smiled, "It seems that there is only one pattern difference, but the amount of spiritual consciousness is doubled."
Mo Hua was surprised, "Why is there such a big difference?"
Mr. Zhuang said, "Because of the ninth level of Qi Refining, breaking through to the Foundation Building Stage, the spiritual power is condensed and qualitatively changed, and the spiritual consciousness will also double. Therefore, the spiritual consciousness used by the Foundation Building cultivator to draw a second-grade formation is twice that of the ninth level of Qi Refining at the beginning."
"Nine-pattern Qi Refining, ten-pattern Foundation Building. The spiritual consciousness of the nine-pattern doubles to reach the amount of spiritual consciousness of the ten-pattern."
"And this double gap is the limit of spiritual consciousness, and it is also a gap that cultivators cannot cross!"
Mo Hua was shocked. No wonder he always felt that since he became a first-grade nine-pattern formation master, the improvement of his spiritual consciousness was like a vast sea of smoke, with no end in sight.
It turns out that the gap is so big and the gulf is so deep.
"Is it possible for a Qi Refining cultivator to have the spiritual consciousness of a ten-pattern Foundation Building?" Mo Hua asked weakly.
"It's possible." Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and answered meaningfully.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was possible.
Then his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood:
"Could it be that only if I have the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period can I solve the puzzle, break through the bottleneck, and become a foundation-building cultivator?"
Seeing that he had figured it out, Mr. Zhuang nodded and said:
"Yes, the stronger the spiritual consciousness, the stronger the bottleneck, but no matter how strong the bottleneck of cultivation is, it is only the practice of the Qi Refining period after all. Your spiritual consciousness exceeds the limit of the Qi Refining period, and you can naturally break through the bottleneck. This also means..."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and said slowly:
"Other cultivators must break through the foundation before they can have the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period, but you are different. You must first have the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period before you can become a foundation-building cultivator!"
Fifth update completed.
