Asking about longevity

"Sir, is there an array master who has a first-level realm and can draw a first-level formation?" Mo Hua couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Zhuang said calmly: "Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't let you learn it."

"Oh yes."

Mo Hua reacted and nodded.

Mr. Zhuang said seriously:

"The cultivation world has been flourishing for more than 20,000 years. There are countless monks and countless geniuses. There are monks with all kinds of talents. During the Qi Refining Period, there are monks who can lead the construction of a first-grade formation. Although it is rare, there are always some."

Hearing this, Mo Hua seriously reflected:

"Sir, I understand! There is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. There are so many amazing and talented monks in the world. You must always be in awe and remain humble, so that you can continue to make progress in the formation."

"I am just lucky enough to have the foundation-building consciousness during my Qi refining period. Even if I can draw a large formation, it is still far behind the true pride of heaven..."

Mr. Zhuang's eyelids jumped when he heard this.

No... having the foundation-building consciousness during the Qi-refining stage is already an amazing talent.

Being able to draw a first-grade grand formation is even more impressive than the pride of heaven.

If you can really draw a big formation, it’s not that you are far worse than others, but that others are far worse than you...

After all, there are very few formation masters who can lead the construction of a first-grade formation and can actually build a first-grade formation.

It requires both ability and financial resources, as well as manpower. It also requires chance to have the opportunity to build a first-grade formation.

He had only seen such cases in the sect's ancient records and monastic rumors.

In reality, he has never seen an formation master who can truly achieve this level of success at the right time and place.

Mr. Zhuang's original intention was to keep the ink paintings humble and not to be arrogant and complacent.

But now it seems that Mo Hua's humility is a bit too much...

However, it is always a good thing to be humble about the way of heaven and formations. Mr. Zhuang naturally would not point it out, so he pretended to be calm, nodded in approval and said:

"That's good of you to think so."

Ink painting was encouraged by Mr. Zhuang and was greatly inspired.

The Xin Dao formations are indeed endless, and I have to work harder.

Even if he is not as good as other formation geniuses, the gap cannot be too big, otherwise he will lose face as Mr. Zhuang's registered disciple.

You must learn the formation yourself!

Mr. Zhuang felt Mo Hua's thoughts from Mo Hua's eyes, and felt both relieved and emotional for a moment.

If he keeps this humble pursuit of the Tao, Mo Hua's future achievements in formation may be really scary...

"What kind of registered disciple did I accept..."

Mr. Zhuang's mood was a little complicated, but he immediately put it away and continued to explain the formation for Mo Hua.

"The first-level formation starts with ten lines of spiritual consciousness. In other words, you must have the foundation-building spiritual consciousness before you can learn the first-level formation."

"But one level and ten lines, spiritual consciousness foundation building, this is actually the requirement of the formation master. Ordinary monks do not learn formations, and are not proficient in the use of spiritual consciousness. After breaking through the foundation building, their spiritual consciousness will be between nine and ten lines. Between the lines."

"It's much stronger than the nine lines in the foundation building stage, but it's still a little worse than the ten lines."

"The same is true for ordinary formation masters. After a first-level formation master builds the foundation, he still has to spend time to enhance his spiritual consciousness and learn second-level formations."

"So it is generally said that only by building the foundation can you learn the first-level formation, but only by the formation master who has truly reached the second-level realm can you learn the first-level formation."

Mr. Zhuang paused for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "This type of formation that transcends the highest level is generally called a Jue Formation in the academic field of formation."

"Intentions can be used as formations that can be used to control the sect, or formations that are extremely difficult to learn and are almost forbidden to inherit."

"The counter-spirit formation you learned is a perfect formation."

"The formation needs to be of the highest quality because of its spiritual consciousness and its knowledge of formation techniques, so it can be regarded as a unique formation."

"But because the formation is huge and lasts for a long time, once it is built, monks can benefit for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it is of far-reaching significance. Therefore, in order to highlight its importance, it is called the 'Grand Formation' instead of the Ultimate Formation. "

Mo Hua nodded, silently counting the formation concepts he knew:

Single formation, complex formation, large formation, mystery formation, phantom formation, absolute formation...

People who do research on formations really like to come up with these messy names...

Mo Hua is proficient in formations. Although he can distinguish them clearly, he still can't help but complain in his heart.

Mr. Zhuang gently nodded Mo Hua's little head, "What are you thinking about?"

His eyes flickered, and he could tell he was cursing something in his heart.

Mo Hua quickly shook his head, "No!" Then he quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Sir, if that's the case, wouldn't it be easier for a second-level formation master to learn a first-level formation?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head: "It's not that easy."

"Isn't spiritual consciousness enough?"

"Spiritual consciousness is just the threshold. If you don't have enough spiritual consciousness, you won't be qualified to step into this door." Mr. Zhuang explained:

"But if you have enough spiritual consciousness, you are just one foot into the threshold. There is still a long way to go before you can truly learn the grand formation, construct the grand formation, use the grand formation, and become proficient in the grand formation."

"Are there any requirements for the use of spiritual consciousness?" Mo Hua asked again.

"It's not just about the use of spiritual consciousness," Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly. "The big formation is too complicated and involves too many single formations. It requires careful observation of the spiritual relationships between the formations, such as energy and restraint, opening and closing, and reverse. .”

"You must be skilled in the use of spiritual consciousness, and you must be strong in controlling spiritual consciousness. It is best to master some divine consciousness calculations..."

"Grand formations of the same type are usually masters of that type of formation. In other words, an formation master who can build a grand formation is also a master formation master who can master a type of formation by heart and master it!"

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and said, "Do you understand now?"

"Understood, sir."

Mo Hua nodded.

Then he thought about it seriously and asked doubtfully: "The formation master you are talking about seems to be me?"

Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled and laughed a little. He couldn't help but rub Mo Hua's head:

"Be humble."

"Oh." Mo Hua smiled sheepishly.

Mr. Zhuang sighed inwardly.

Mo Hua was actually right, he was indeed very suitable for learning the Grand Formation.

The foundation of spiritual consciousness is deep, the use of spiritual consciousness is skillful, and the control of spiritual consciousness is sensitive.

On the formation, I have painted the Five Elements formation in ink countless times. It can indeed be said that I am familiar with it.

He has also been involved in building complex formations in the weapon refining shop and the alchemy shop, and he can be said to have mastered them all.

In summary, when Mo Hua approached Mr. Zhuang and wanted to learn the big formation, Mr. Zhuang did not refuse, but pointed out the pros and cons and asked him to go back and consider it.

Because ink painting really has the capital to learn great formations.

If he didn't try to learn the Grand Formation, Mr. Zhuang would even feel it was a pity and even feel regretful.

But the formation is not that simple, and this is just the beginning.

Mr. Zhuang has a set of ten jade slips, unfolding them in order:

"This is the formation I want to teach you!"

"These ten jade slips cover the principles of the array eye, array pivot structure, array pattern distribution, array media construction, as well as the compatibility of a single array and cost estimation, etc."

"This formation is a trap-and-kill formation. It uses the power of the five elements to trap the enemy, and uses the offensive formations within the formation to kill powerful enemies!"

"Among the five-element formations, this formation is particularly good at attacking and is enough to deal with Feng Xi."

Mr. Zhuang handed the jade slip to Mo Hua.

After taking the ink painting, his consciousness sank into the jade slip, and he saw a few powerful characters:

Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation!

The handwriting is silver hooked and painted with iron, and the murderous spirit rushes towards his face.

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and put away the precious jade slip.

The Grand Formation is an extremely precious formation.

Although Mr. Zhuang took out these jade slips casually, in ordinary families or sects, they are enough to be used as the secret knowledge of the sect.

Mo Hua bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhuang.

I am grateful for Mr. Zhuang’s teachings and also for what he has done for the casual cultivators in Tongxian City.

Mr. Zhuang seemed to see what Mo Hua was thinking, shook his head slightly and said:

"You don't have to think so much. When I get here, a disaster occurs here. Even if there is cause and effect, I will not stand idly by within my power."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said: "Go back first, study hard, and come to me if you have any questions."

"Okay, sir!"

Mo Hua bowed respectfully again, then stood up and left.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes followed the back of the ink painting and extended into the distance.

Until the figure in the ink painting disappeared into the mountains, Mr. Zhuang was still in a daze. After a while, he frowned and asked:

"Do you think he can learn it?"

There was no sound in the room and no one answered.

Mr. Zhuang said helplessly: "Elder Ge has already figured me out, and you can't run away. There's no point in pretending to be dead."

The old man appeared, shook his head and said:

"Sooner or later you will kill yourself. In order not to be implicated by you, I want to stay away."

Mr. Zhuang said speechlessly: "You are not here to begin with. You have already hidden far enough away. How else do you want to hide?"

The old man was silent.

Mr. Zhuang continued to ask the question just now, "Do you think it is possible to learn the grand formation in ink painting?"

The puppet master looked at Mr. Zhuang lightly and said, "You are a formation master, I am not, I can't guess."

"Then what do you think of this child's formation painting?"

"very good."

Mr. Zhuang suggested: "I am already a useless person, why don't you take him back, and given time, maybe he can help you."

The puppet boss was obviously a little moved, but he still shook his head, "The realm is too low, too long."

"You can teach it slowly."

"I don't know how to form, how can I teach you?"

"You can ask the formation master to teach you."

The puppet master said calmly: "Don't blame your own affairs on me."

Mr. Zhuang's idea was revealed and he sighed.

After a while, the old man frowned and asked:

"If you want to teach him the Grand Formation, just teach him directly. Why bother and waste time and let him think about it carefully?"

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a long time, his eyes unreadable, and then he slowly spoke, as if he was speaking to Mr. Puppet, but also to himself:

"Only in the face of a real catastrophe can a monk understand his true heart."

"Only by making a choice between right and wrong can you strengthen your Taoist heart."

"If you don't establish and strengthen your Taoist heart from the beginning, you will unknowingly go further and further off the road. Even if you achieve success and fame, you will eventually completely deviate from the Tao of Immortality."

A trace of self-deprecation and disappointment appeared on Mr. Zhuang's face.

"I have suffered a loss before, and I don't want him to suffer it again..."
