Chapter 572: Draw a Formation on the Ground

Mo Hua knew that he only had a medium-low-grade five-element spiritual root. Although he had a sect order to study in Qianzhou, it might not be smooth sailing. There would be some setbacks and obstacles.

But despite this, Qianzhou had to go.

It was impossible for cultivation to be smooth sailing.

If you are afraid of setbacks, you will lose your heart and it will be difficult to make progress.

And since you are going to Qianzhou, you must be well prepared.

In Qianzhou, there are many sects and geniuses.

Mo Hua himself is a casual cultivator with no origin, no background, and poor spiritual roots. If he really wants to go to Qianzhou to join a sect, he will be looked down upon, despised, and excluded.

He is born weak and cannot practice physical cultivation. His spiritual roots are medium and low, and his spiritual power is low. He will suffer a lot in a head-on confrontation.

In this case, we must find another way...

Mo Hua remembered his master's advice:

"There are many geniuses in the nine states of the cultivation world..."

"You focus on killing, which means you are competing with the geniuses and their enemies. They will not look at you well."

"But if you assist in killing, you can help them compete with other geniuses, and they will have to look at your face."

"The stronger your means of assisting killing, the less he dares to offend you."

"In this way, you don't have a noble family, but any noble family can become your helper..."

"You don't have a sect, but any sect can be your background."

"In the utilitarian and snobbish cultivation forces, among the many geniuses with excellent spiritual roots, skills and Taoism, you will also have a place and will not be looked down upon!"

Mo Hua touched his chin:

"Assisting killing... is spiritual power amplification, that is, the Five Elements Spiritual Array."

The Five Elements Absolute Array obtained from the Five Elements Sect is the foundation of his study in Qianzhou this time, in the cultivation sects full of geniuses...

He doesn't need to compete with the geniuses and take the lead.

His spiritual root qualifications do not allow him to do such a show-off thing.

As long as he can gain a foothold in the Qianzhou academic world, not be bullied, practice well, learn the formation well, make up for his own shortcomings, and lay the foundation for condensing the golden elixir and even the future equinox, it will be fine.

Five Elements Spiritual Array!

Spiritual power amplification, assisting killing!

As long as he mastered the Five Elements Absolute Formation and had the ability to assist in killing, even if he was not a genius, the other geniuses would have to look at his face.

Mo Hua nodded.

But the Five Elements Spiritual Formation...

had to be renamed.

This was also what his master had told him.

Qianxue State Realm had a profound foundation, and it was also a fifth-grade state realm. Naturally, there were many great monks with high realms, old qualifications, and broad knowledge.

As soon as they heard the name of the Five Elements Spiritual Formation, they knew the origin.

Then the fact that he had inherited the Five Elements Sect was probably not hidden from them.

And the place where his master was finally trapped was the Five Elements Sect. Someone with a heart might be able to follow the clues and find out the relationship between him and his master.

This would be troublesome.

So the name must be changed.

Mo Hua pondered for a long time, and finally decided to change the Five Elements Spiritual Formation to the Five Elements "Source" Formation.

If others asked about the origin, he would say that he picked it up.

If others asked how he learned it, he would say that he learned it in a muddle.

If others don't believe it and keep asking, then I can only reluctantly admit that I am a rare genius in formations in a century...

Anyway, there should be no shortage of geniuses in Qianzhou...

Mo Hua pondered in his heart.

Five Elements Source Formation.

Derived from the Five Elements Source Pattern, it involves the origin of the five elements and increases the spiritual power of the five elements.

After Mo Hua learned the second-grade formation, he compared it himself. All the first-grade absolute formations are also effective for foundation-building cultivators, and the formation effect has never declined, and the difference is not much with the second-grade formation.

The first-grade five-element source formation is no exception.

Mo Hua thought about it and guessed that the reason might be related to the number of formation patterns.

Although the absolute formation is a first-grade formation, the number of formation patterns is in the scope of the second-grade formation.

So, the absolute formation is also applicable in the foundation-building realm.

But this brings another problem.

The second-grade formation pattern is derived from two first-grade formation patterns, and the amount of spiritual consciousness it consumes is also twice that of the first-grade formation pattern.

If so, then with the same number of array patterns, the amount of spiritual consciousness of the first-grade absolute array should be only half of that of the second-grade array.

Because the first-grade absolute array uses the first-grade array pattern.

And the second-grade array uses the second-grade array pattern.

But when Mo Hua actually drew it, he found that the spiritual consciousness consumed by the first-grade absolute array was not less than that of the second-grade array with the same number of array patterns.

Mo Hua was very confused.

Why?

Where did the extra spiritual consciousness consumed by the absolute array go?

Mr. Zhuang was not here, so Mo Hua could only think about it by himself when he encountered a problem.

Mo Hua pondered for a long time and finally got some clues.

If he guessed correctly, the extra spiritual consciousness consumed by the absolute array was used to comprehend, visualize, or communicate with some kind of great law, or powerful Tao essence.

Half of the spiritual consciousness consumed by the absolute array was used for array patterns and half for laws.

That’s why the ultimate formation is so special and difficult…

So the first-grade ultimate formation can almost be ranked on par with the second-grade formation, and the effect will not be reduced…

“The Great Dao is still relatively fair. Although the ultimate formation is difficult, it also has its value…”

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

And Mo Hua has also tried to increase the power of spells with the Five Elements Source Formation.

The only attacking spell that Mo Hua knows now is the Fireball Spell.

Fireball is a five-element fire spell that needs to be amplified by the fire source array.

The second-grade fireball, with the spiritual power amplification of the fire source array, has increased its power by about 20%.

It is difficult to increase the power of a spell, and the means are also very harsh.

A 20% increase is already quite terrifying.

It is equivalent to raising the spell level of the fireball spell to a higher level, making a low-level spell close to the power of a medium-level spell.

"It is worthy of being the thirteen-pattern formation, and it is worthy of being the sect-defining formation that the Five Elements Sect has relied on for thousands of years..."

For a cultivator fighting alone, this kind of increase is already very strong.

And the more cultivators there are, the more obvious this increase is.

In the war of cultivation, if there is a blessing of the five-element source array in the confrontation between Taoist soldiers.

The original disadvantage will become a balance.

The original balance will become a victory, or even a complete, crushing victory...

No wonder the Five Elements Sect had an extraordinary status back then.

In this case, even though Mo Hua had just entered the foundation building stage and was not proficient in the second-grade fireball technique, with the amplification of the fire source array, the power was considerable.

Mo Hua had tried it with a first-grade late-stage monster from Dahei Mountain.

Basically, a fireball technique amplified by the fire source array could kill a first-grade late-stage monster. Some of the monsters with thick skin and flesh would be severely injured by the fireball technique and be on the verge of death even if they could not be killed.

As for the second-grade monsters...

Mo Hua's body skills were a little lacking now, and he did not dare to go alone to cause trouble for the second-grade monsters.

The problem of the five-element source array was solved.

The next problem was the problem of pen, ink, and paper.

Mo Hua had no ink, no pen, and no paper. Even if he studied and practiced hard on the Dao Monument and practiced the second-grade array method thoroughly, he could not actually draw it and put it into practice, so there was no point.

Prepare for everything in advance.

It would be a bit late to consider this issue when he arrived at the Qianxuezhou boundary.

Moreover, the Qianxuezhou realm is of the fifth rank, and the prices are definitely more expensive. The cost of pens, ink and paper there is definitely more expensive for Mo Hua.

"Ink is indispensable..."

"In that case, we need to consider a method of drawing arrays without pens and paper, which can save a lot of spirit stones..."

Mo Hua pondered.

"Just like in the sea of ​​consciousness..."

"Without a pen, then use the consciousness as a pen, without paper, then use the earth as a medium..."

This is the way of drawing arrays that Mo Hua had already imagined.

He has now established his foundation.

For a foundation-building cultivator, the consciousness doubles, and the consciousness is enough to control objects.

Although Mo Hua's consciousness has not doubled, the fourteen patterns, the consciousness of the middle stage of foundation-building, is already strong enough.

On top of this, thanks to the Tianyan Jue, the consciousness was reconstructed with the Mysterious Heavenly Array, and the consciousness has undergone a qualitative change.

So "controlling objects with consciousness" is not a difficult task for Mo Hua.

What Mo Hua needs to do now is not just "controlling objects with consciousness", but further "controlling ink with consciousness".

The objects driven by the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building cultivators are generally solid and sharp, used to move and kill.

For example, flying a sword.

The strength of the sword cultivators who refine Qi is average.

But the sword cultivators who build the foundation will have a qualitative change in their combat power by flying the sword with the spiritual consciousness.

Even if they don't fly the sword, driving some spiritual tools such as flying knives and flying needles is also quite powerful.

But swords are also very expensive, so Mo Hua will not consider it for the time being.

What he has to do now is to use the spiritual consciousness to replace the formation pen, directly control the spiritual ink, and condense it into a formation.

The spiritual ink is like water, flowing without shape and changing in thousands of ways.

Ordinary foundation-building cultivators can fly swords and knives with their spiritual consciousness alone, but they can't control water or even ink at all.

But Mo Hua is different.

His spiritual consciousness is powerful, his spiritual thoughts have changed qualitatively, and he can control all kinds of changes in detail.

Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness can drive the invisible spiritual ink that flows like water.

But it is still very difficult.

Moreover, when it comes to actual control, the consciousness is somewhat sluggish, and more practice is needed.

In addition, the ground is used as a medium.

Mo Hua has learned the Thick Earth Formation, which is drawn on the ground and can communicate with the earth's Dao.

Before Mo Hua, he practiced the Thick Earth Formation every day.

His perception of the earth's Dao became clearer and clearer, and his fit with the Dao became deeper and deeper.

Now, he can also draw other five-element formations on the ground.

However, this kind of painting method also requires a lot of practice.

Use thoughts as a pen and the ground as paper.

Where the sky covers, the ground reaches.

Use the consciousness to control the ink and draw the ground as a formation!

After building the foundation, Mo Hua can finally start to try the idea of ​​drawing a formation that is not bound by external objects after learning the Thick Earth Formation.

But although the idea is good, it still needs to be practiced.

Next, a lot of practice is needed...

Practicing "controlling ink with the consciousness and drawing the ground as a formation" must not be done at home, and it is not good in Tongxian City.

It would be best to go to a secluded place where no one is around.

Mo Hua went to the deep mountains of Dahei Mountain, used a few bags of dried fish to "bribe" the big tiger, and found an open space next to its cave to practice the formation.

Dahei Mountain is quiet, and the deep mountains are especially quiet.

The big tiger is also a second-grade monster beast, with strong strength. There are no monster beasts or cultivators around, and it is not disturbed, which is very suitable for testing the formation.

First, the spirit consciousness controls the ink.

Mo Hua does not have the second-grade spiritual ink, so he can only practice with the first-grade spiritual ink.

It was not smooth at the beginning.

The spirit consciousness controls the ink, which flows invisibly, has no support, and is easy to lose control and spill the spiritual ink on the ground.

Mo Hua tried several times, but the effect was not good.

He thought about it, and like "the manifestation of the spirit consciousness", he began to imagine his spirit consciousness as a brush.

The end of the divine consciousness turned into fine hairs, which merged with the spiritual ink and attracted and controlled the spiritual ink, flowing in the air according to his will.

Although it was still very awkward and failed occasionally, it was indeed getting better and better.

After learning the Tianyan Jue and understanding the Lingshu formation.

This kind of meticulous control, Mo Hua has a lot of experience.

After the qualitative change of the divine consciousness, this kind of subtle control also underwent a qualitative change.

After practicing for a day or two, Mo Hua gradually figured out the door. After practicing again and again, the divine consciousness and the spiritual ink became more and more compatible.

The divine consciousness turned into a pen, merged into the spiritual ink, and controlled the spiritual ink.

The spiritual ink seemed to have become the extension of Mo Hua's divine consciousness, which could float in the air according to his will, condensing into various free lines and complex patterns.

After practicing for several days and becoming proficient in "spiritual consciousness controlling ink", Mo Hua began to "draw the ground as a formation".

His white little hand pointed to the ground.

The spiritual ink was pulled by his consciousness, condensed into filaments, and automatically flowed out of the bottle, along Mo Hua's fingertips, and seeped into the ground little by little.

Then, as Mo Hua's fingers moved, it gradually meandered, flowed, swam, condensed into array patterns, and finally formed an array formation according to the array pivot pattern!

Without a pen or paper, a complete array formation was drawn on the ground.

A glimmer of light flashed, and the array took effect!

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

Success!

Then he suppressed his joy and maintained a calm and composed attitude.

"It's just a simple first-grade molten fire array..."

Still need to continue practicing...

Start with an ordinary first-grade array formation, from shallow to deep, from simple to difficult, step by step, one by one, with the consciousness controlling the ink, using the ground as a medium, draw a first-grade array formation, and then draw a second-grade array formation!

In this way, without a pen or paper, I can save a lot of spiritual stones in the future!

And not only that.

This way of drawing arrays has fewer restrictions.

Faster, more convenient, and more concealed.

Even in actual combat, as long as there is free time, you can use thoughts as pens and the ground as paper to lay out the formation without anyone noticing!

Of course, Mo Hua's current ability is far from enough.

He needs to practice more to achieve the state of ink following his heart and being at ease.

In time, he can do whatever he wants and point to the ground to form a formation!

Mo Hua thought that one day he would be able to do whatever he wants like the incarnation of the divine thoughts in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the formation would be completed with a finger. He was very happy.

Mo Hua smiled, and then he gathered his thoughts and began to concentrate and continue practicing.

He wanted to practice this method to perfection as soon as possible!

Mo Hua squatted on the ground to draw the formation.

The big tiger on the side was chewing the dried fish leisurely, and occasionally secretly glanced at Mo Hua. Seeing that Mo Hua was concentrating on something, he was a little curious, so he secretly put his head over to see what Mo Hua was doing.

On the ground, the array patterns are winding and the array formation is complicated.

The big tiger looked at it for a while, but couldn't understand it. His big eyes were full of confusion, so he lay down again, shaking his head and chewing the dried fish...

In the secluded deep mountains, a man and a tiger lived together peacefully and harmoniously.

...

After more than half a month, after unremitting practice, Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness and ink control have become quite proficient, and he can draw the ground as an array with ease.

And the array formation of "drawing the ground as an array" includes not only the first-grade array formation, but also the five-element source array of thirteen patterns.

This is also the most profound array formation that Mo Hua has mastered so far.

However, the spiritual consciousness controls the ink and draws the five-element source array, which consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness.

And the speed of drawing the array is also relatively slow.

It is far from the expected effect of Mo Hua.

It is okay if the spiritual consciousness consumes a lot. Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is deep and powerful, so it doesn't matter if it consumes a little more.

But the slow speed is more troublesome.

At least in actual combat, there is no time to draw it.

Unless he is hidden enough and has enough time to prepare.

"How can I draw faster?"

Mo Hua's mind moved slightly, and he began to think again.

He thought for a long time, and the only way he could think of was "Heavenly Secrets and Calculations".

But how can he do it, like his uncle, using Heavenly Secrets and Calculations, changing his mind, and using the method of the mind of the trick, Mo Hua is still confused.

After all, he just learned it secretly and copied it by copying.

He didn't inherit the doorway inside, and it was very difficult to explore it by himself.

Mo Hua thought for a long time, but he had no clue, so he could only put this problem aside for the time being.

Anyway, he has already learned the basics of Heavenly Secrets and Calculations, and he will slowly think about the changes in the future. Sooner or later, he will figure it out.

The duck in his pot will be cooked sooner or later, and it can't fly!

Next, the most troublesome thing is the second-grade formation.

He needs to find a few more second-grade formations, learn more, and keep them for backup.

There are almost no second-grade formations in Tongxian City.

The second-grade formations that Mo Hua currently has mastered are only the second-grade bright fire formation with ten patterns and the second-grade thorn formation with eleven patterns.

These two formations have been worn out by him.

It would be best if there were more difficult second-grade formations. After learning them, I would try to get some second-grade spiritual ink and try the method of "controlling ink with spiritual consciousness and drawing formations on the ground".

See what my current limit is.

What level of formation can I draw with this method of controlling ink with spiritual consciousness...

The only way Mo Hua can get a second-grade formation is the "Five Elements Source Pattern" in the Five Elements Formation Flow Diagram...

Mo Hua deciphered this source pattern whenever he had time, but until now, the best formation he had obtained was the second-grade five-element formation with eleven patterns.

His own spiritual consciousness had "qualitatively changed" fourteen patterns.

In other words, the upper limit should be fourteen patterns!

Mo Hua was a little unconvinced.

No matter how bad his luck was, no matter how bad his face was, after so long, he should be able to reversely trace back to a decent second-grade formation...

Not too much, twelve patterns are enough...

Mo Hua planned to try again.

Before deciphering, Mo Hua burned incense and washed his hands to show his sincerity, and silently chanted in his heart:

"Second-grade formation, second-grade formation, second-grade formation..."

"Twelve patterns, twelve patterns, twelve patterns..."

After chanting, Mo Hua began to deduce.

On the source pattern, mysterious changes appeared.

One by one, the formation patterns were cracked, and one by one, the formations were derived...

After an unknown amount of time, finally, a light flashed in front of Mo Hua's eyes!

A formation diagram that was obviously different, flashing red and more eye-catching, emerged from the source pattern.

Mo Hua's breath was held and he looked closely.

This was a formation that he was extremely familiar with, but mysterious, complex, and somewhat unfamiliar.

"Earth Fire Formation..."

Second grade... thirteen patterns!
