Chapter 724 Discussing the Tao
After returning to the sect, Mo Hua immediately received all the formation diagrams into his Nazi Ring with great care.
These are all good things, so be sure to keep them.
And you have to learn it secretly, without letting others know, or causing trouble to Aunt Wan.
Although Aunt Wan looked indifferent, Mo Hua knew in his heart that these formations were inherited from the Shangguan and Wenren families and were extremely precious.
Aunt Wan is the legitimate daughter of the Wenren family and the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family.
But in other words, she was the daughter of the Wen family who got married, and she was an "outsider" married to the Shangguan family.
If you give the inheritance diagram of the two families to yourself, once someone knows about it, you will definitely make a big fuss and criticize him.
Aunt Wan's situation in the family is definitely more difficult.
What's more, there is also a unique formation in it!
Aunt Wan does not specialize in formations, and she may not know what kind of formations she has given herself.
The Second Grade and Twenty Patterns Absolute Formation...
Secondary Thunder Formation!
Mo Hua endured it for a while, but still couldn't hold it back. He took out the formation diagram of the Secondary Thunderstorm Array, put it in his hand and rubbed it, squinting and smiling like a little fool.
This is the final battle!
Moreover, among the Yuan Magnetic Arrays derived from the Bagua Thunder System, it is the Sub-Thunder Current Array that is closest to the essence of the Yuan Magnetic Array!
I feel itchy about ink painting and I really want to learn it.
But he looked at it a few times before and found that he couldn't learn it yet.
First of all, his Yuan Magnetic Array foundation is not strong enough.
I have learned a lot about the Five Elements and Bagua formation, and I have a solid foundation and deep understanding of ink painting.
However, I have only learned a few techniques of Yuan Magnetic Formation and ink painting, so my foundation is inevitably shallow and my understanding cannot be profound.
The further secondary thunder formation is still the ultimate formation. At first glance, it is even more impossible to truly understand the ink painting.
Secondly, his spiritual consciousness is not enough.
The twenty-mark Jue Formation naturally requires twenty-mark spiritual consciousness.
Mo Hua's current spiritual consciousness only has seventeen lines, which is still a little short of the eighteen lines. It can barely be regarded as the eighteenth line.
It's almost eighteen lines, but far worse than twenty lines.
Especially between 19 and 20 years old, it is a big hurdle to build the foundation to the golden elixir.
It is estimated that it will be very difficult to cross this hurdle. I don’t know how long it will take to get through it.
Or, you need to "eat" a huge meal to break through...
"Can't learn..."
The second-grade ultimate formation is right in front of you, but you can only see it, not learn it.
Mo Hua sighed.
He reluctantly put away this formation diagram of the second-grade and twenty-mark secondary thunder flow formation, and then looked at it firmly.
No matter what, we must hurry up and improve our spiritual consciousness!
"We must find a way to feed the laws of heaven, break through the limitations, and then enhance our spiritual consciousness and improve our realm. We must soon reach the twenty lines of spiritual consciousness and understand the Second Thunder Jue Formation!"
The fastest way to improve your spiritual consciousness is to "eat" evil spirits.
The fastest way to "eat" evil spirits is to find an altar.
By stealing the power of the evil god and ordering "takeaway" for yourself, you can eat enough at once.
But now I can’t go out, find the altar, or order takeout.
This approach can only be abandoned.
In addition, it is through a large number of formation exercises to hone the spiritual consciousness.
But this is what Mo Hua does every moment of every day.
Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is now powerful, and there is a Taoist monument to recall his spiritual thoughts. The amount of formation practice he practices every day is almost dozens of times that of an formation master of the same realm.
Since getting the Taoist monument, I have been practicing ink painting every day, almost never slacking off, so there is nothing to say.
Finally, just like ordinary monks, step by step, through the improvement of the realm of cultivation, the realm of spiritual consciousness is also improved.
Mo Hua thought about it for a while.
Since he was "grounded", in addition to practicing a lot of formations every day, it seemed that the only way to enhance his spiritual awareness was through improving his cultivation.
"Middle stage of foundation building!"
Improve your cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building as soon as possible, and then consider other things.
Mo Hua nodded.
After that, Mo Hua put aside everything and concentrated on solving the puzzle formation, hoping to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and advance to the middle stage of foundation building.
For the time being, he would not care about the Yu family's water village and Shui Yanluo's affairs.
Of course, he couldn't control it now even if he wanted to.
The Five Elements Source Armor is still being refined.
He would still meet Master Gu when he had time to have a meal and study ways to improve it.
If a fellow disciple offers a reward, if there is anything you need from him, he will give you some advice and fulfill his responsibility as a "little senior brother".
Master Gu can also sell a few more customized spiritual weapons and earn more spiritual stones.
In addition, Mo Hua spent almost all his time and thought on breaking through the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building.
The bottleneck of Tianyan Jue is a bit unbelievable to ordinary people.
Complex formation patterns, massive mystery formations, and qualitatively changing divine levels.
To ordinary monks, every road is like a chasm.
But I have become accustomed to ink painting.
At least in his eyes, these are just "regular" bottlenecks.
In the sea of consciousness, he relies on his profound knowledge of formations, powerful spiritual knowledge, profound power of calculation, and multiple speeds of calculation.
The vast and complex array of mysteries was quickly solved by the ink paintings, just like Tang Woxue.
The bottleneck is also loosening a little bit.
After more than a month like this, just when Mo Hua had solved the riddle of Tian Yan Jue to some extent and was about to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, Cheng Mo suddenly came to find Mo Hua.
"Senior brother, do you want to go to the Dao Discussion Conference?" Cheng Mo asked.
Mo Hua was startled.
Conference on Taoism?
This was not the first time he heard this word.
On weekdays, classmates occasionally talk about it, but most of them are vague.
Mo Hua also felt that this kind of thing was far away from him, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Of course, what he heard the most was the word "Sword Discussion Conference".
"Is there any difference between the sword discussion conference and the Tao discussion conference?" Mo Hua asked Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo said: "The Tao Discussion Conference is a general term, including competitions in five categories: elixirs, weapons, talismans, formations, and swords. The Sword Discussion Conference is just one of them."
"The alchemy talisman array is a test of Taoist skills."
"The sword examination is about fighting. The disciples of the major sects in Qianxue Prefecture discuss sword fighting with each other and learn martial arts..."
Mo Hua was puzzled, "Since it includes sword theory, fighting skills, and martial arts, why is it just called sword theory?"
Cheng Mo scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe the sword cultivator is the most handsome?"
Mo Hua looked at him silently.
Cheng Mo smiled coquettishly, "How about I call Situ over? He is a sword cultivator, so he must know."
Cheng Mo actually ran to call Situ Jian.
When Situ Jian came, Mo Hua discovered that after not seeing him for a while, Situ Jian was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
Among people from the same sect, practice may be fast or slow.
Moreover, it is also affected by the cultivation methods and Tao methods, as well as whether one's own cultivation resources are sufficient, and whether it is necessary to lay a solid foundation and cultivate spiritual power to perfection. Therefore, the progress of cultivation among disciples cannot be generalized.
Situ Jian was relatively successful, the spiritual objects were fully prepared, and the Zhou Tianshu was almost completed, so the breakthrough was relatively early.
But like Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun, they still need to temper their energy, so they should slow down.
As for ink painting...
He doesn't need anything, as long as he can break through the realm, blood, energy and spiritual power don't matter at all.
There is nothing special about his spiritual roots.
Situ Jian explained for Mo Hua: "The term sword theory has a long origin..."
"The Sword Discussing Conference is all about swords at the beginning. Sword cultivators compete with each other and determine who is best based on their 'sword'."
"Whoever comes first will be the leader of the Sword Discussion Conference, and will usually be regarded as the person with the highest cultivation level among the disciples of the same generation."
"But other physical and spiritual cultivations are unsatisfactory. If you are number one in swordsmanship, why can you be the number one disciple?"
"So later, physical and spiritual training also participated."
"But physical and spiritual cultivation does not require a sword. If you compete with a swordsman and win, you will become a person who does not practice swordsmanship. Winning the first place in the sword discussion conference cannot be justified."
"So it became a team battle. The sword cultivator led a physical cultivator and a spiritual cultivator mixed together. Three people formed a team and fought against each other."
"Later, we imitated the Taoist army structure, with a small team of five people competing against each other."
"It was a tough fight from the beginning. Whoever wins will be better."
"Later, some ancestors of Qianzhou felt that this was too reckless and did not meet the actual combat situation, so they changed the rules and added many restrictions such as flag capture, monster hunting, and sword seizing. It has been passed down to this day and has become the current discussion. Sword Conference..."
"Five people from the same sect form a team and join forces with each other to achieve the goal. They not only discuss cultivation and Taoism, but also focus on collaborative strategies. If they win, the five will be the best. If they lose, they will all be eliminated. We share weal and woe."
Mo Hua nodded, probably understanding.
Cheng Mo patted Situ Jian on the shoulder and praised, "You know better."
Situ Jian was helpless, "You should also serve snacks occasionally, don't just swing an ax..."
Cheng Mo smiled and invited Mo Hua: "Senior brother, do you want to go and see it together? This is a triennial event in Qianxue State."
Situ Jian added: "And for us, we may only be able to participate once in our lifetime."
Mo Hua was a little confused, "I can only participate once?"
Situ Jian nodded slightly, "Generally, only disciples who have been in the martial arts for more than nine years, are in the late stage of foundation building, have reached the peak of their spiritual power and blood energy, and have not broken through the golden elixir can participate in the Sword Discussion Conference."
"If he is one year below and has studied for a few years less, his cultivation, blood, energy and spiritual power will be much worse than others, and he will not be able to compete with other sect geniuses..." "Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
Cheng Mo sighed: "I don't know if I can participate in the next session..."
"Don't think about it," Situ Jian shook his head and said, "At least until the next term."
Cheng Mo was a little dissatisfied.
Situ Jian then said: "The Dao Discussion Conference is of great importance, not only to the disciples' personal spiritual future, but also to the development of the sect. The selection of disciples participating in the Dao Discussion is very strict, and every quota is precious..."
Cheng Mo was a little unhappy, but he also knew that Situ Jian was right.
Mo Hua was a little curious.
It’s about the disciple’s personal future, so this is easy to understand.
If you get a good ranking in the monastic conference and become popular, you will gain the respect of the sect and be appreciated by other monastic forces, and you may even get a lot of merit.
But what does this have to do with the development of the sect...
It's just a discussion, is it that important?
Mo Hua asked Situ Jian, and Situ Jian asked:
"Senior Brother, do you know the Qianlong Mountain Range?"
"Qianlong Mountains?"
Mo Hua frowned and seemed to have some impression.
Situ Jiandao: "The Qianlong Mountain Range is a huge mountain range that traverses the border of Qianxue State. Within this mountain range, there is a huge spiritual mine with an astonishing output of spiritual stones."
The output of spiritual stones is astonishing, huge spiritual mines!
Mo Hua was slightly shocked.
Situ Jian lowered his voice and said, "I heard these from my grandfather..."
"It is said that the Taoist court tried every means to occupy this Qianlong spirit mine, and used all kinds of methods, but in the end, the ancestors of dozens of big families in Qianzhou joined forces and forcibly suppressed it."
"Despite this, Daoting is still unwilling."
"And when it comes to such a huge amount of spiritual stones, the family will not give in."
"In the end, both parties compromised. A small part of the output of these spiritual mines will be handed over to Daoting as a 'spiritual tax', and the rest will be used by the major sects in Qianxue State."
"With these spiritual stones, the sect will develop and grow, recruit more disciples, teach and teach, and cultivate talents. In this way, the spiritual stones in the Qianlong Spirit Mine can be used in the world."
"Dao Ting agreed, and the family has no explanation."
"Therefore, this huge Qianlong spirit mine fell on the heads of hundreds of sects in the Qianxue state border."
"But how to divide such a large sum of spiritual stones has become a problem..."
Mo Hua understood and asked: "Tao discussion conference?"
"Yes." Situ Jian nodded, "Disciples from all sects will participate in the Tao Discussion Conference to determine the ranking."
"This ranking affects the order of the sect, and the order of the sect determines the share of the huge spiritual mine in Qianlong Mountain."
"This is a giant spiritual mine. Any small share means a huge amount of spiritual stones."
"And the spirit stone is the foundation for the development of the sect."
"Therefore, the Dao Discussion Conference is not only related to the personal future of the disciples, but also closely related to the interests and future development of the sect..."
"So that's it..."
Mo Hua suddenly realized and nodded slightly.
"Senior Brother, it seems that the Tao Discussion Conference has already begun. Do you want to go and see it?" Situ Jian also asked beside him.
Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
He also wanted to know what the Dao Discussion Conference was really like.
As for the middle stage of foundation building, it’s almost done anyway, so there’s no rush for these two days.
So Mo Hua gave himself a half-day vacation and followed Cheng Mo and Situ Jian to watch the Taoism Conference.
The conference on Taoism was held at Mount Londao in the center of Qianxue Prefecture.
From the outside, Lundao Mountain is majestic and solemn, with a huge formation built outside.
One look at the ink painting shows that this is a big formation.
And it's not a closed formation, it's a slightly opened formation.
Above the formation, the faint light circulates with an astonishing momentum, like a hibernating giant beast, breathing softly.
"This formation is..."
Mo Hua looked at Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, and was about to ask something, but saw that their expressions were more shocked than his own, so he didn't ask.
Forget it, it’s better not to make things difficult for them regarding the formation.
The entry requirements for the Dao Discussion Conference are not strict, as long as they are disciples of the sect within the boundaries of Qianxue State.
The three of them, Mo Hua, arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate, showed the Taixu Order, verified the identity of the disciples of the sect, and were allowed to enter Lundao Mountain.
Entering Lundao Mountain means entering the great formation.
Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were a little confused and couldn't understand anything.
But in the perception of the ink painting, the vast, mysterious and boundless aura of the formation is extremely strong.
He could even faintly feel the vibrations of those subtle and mysterious high-quality formations throughout the mountain, as well as the flow of massive spiritual power that was as deep as the ocean but calm on the surface...
Mo Hua's heart trembled and his eyes were opened.
It is indeed a fifth-grade Qianxue state boundary, there are so many good things!
I don’t know when I will be able to set up a large formation of this level...
Ink painting brings longing to the heart.
Situ Jian took the ink painting and explained as he walked:
"Tao Discussion Conference, alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, and formations will be assessed in sequence."
"The sword discussion is a little different. Because the cycle is longer and there are more battles, the time of each session will be slightly different, but generally it will be staggered with the alchemy and talisman formations and other discussion sessions..."
The three of them were walking and chatting.
As they approached the dojo, they saw a huge crowd of people. Not only the Taixu Sect, but also disciples from the other four major sects, the Eighth Gates, the Twelve Sects, and the Hundreds of Qianxue Sects were all coming to see it.
The area around the dojo was extremely lively, and there were all young disciples wearing various sect robes, including handsome young men with jade trees leaning against the wind, as well as graceful young women.
Cheng Mo was a little yearning, "Tell me, if six years later, I show off my power at the Sword Discussion Conference and kill everyone, will these Yingyingyanyan, senior sisters and junior fellow students, worship me in particular and insist on treating me?" Promise yourself or something..."
Situ Jian patted his shoulder and sighed: "There are many people here. If you are daydreaming, it is better to change places."
Cheng Mo was startled, then a little angry, and said in a low voice:
"How dare you, Situ, look down on me! Let's find a place to spar and see if your sword is faster or my ax is stronger..."
Mo Hua felt helpless and sighed, "Okay."
"Okay, little senior brother." Cheng Mo immediately followed the good advice, then gave Situ Jian a look and whispered: "For the sake of little senior brother, I won't argue with you."
Situ Jian shook his head.
And below, the Alchemy Conference has begun.
There are many alchemy furnaces placed in the huge dojo.
A group of disciples from the sect who were in the late stage of foundation building and were obviously older, more advanced, and much taller than Mo Hua and others, all looked solemn and began to light open fires and start the furnace to refine elixirs.
There are elders supervising the exam.
There were many disciples watching around.
But at this time, the scene had become quiet, and no disciple dared to speak loudly.
On the dojo, the disciples in the late stage of foundation building concentrate on refining the elixir. After refining the elixir, they present it to the elders above. The elders comment on it and decide on four grades: A, B, C and D, and then show the conclusion to the public.
Those who were eliminated later looked up to the sky and sighed, and left the field dejectedly.
The promoted person looked happy and saluted the elder.
Then another group of people were changed to continue making alchemy.
After refining the elixir, continue to repeat this process...
After looking at the ink paintings for a while, I felt boring.
The Taoism Conference was indeed a grand event, but it was a bit boring to watch around.
And it’s also about alchemy.
Mo Hua knew nothing about alchemy, at least very little.
He only has some basic knowledge of elixirs, and he remembers the more practical elixir knowledge very well.
Like what kind of elixir it is, what kind of injury it can cure, what kind of poison it can detoxify, and what effect it has.
What other drugs can be used to deceive people, poisoned, etc.
In addition, there are very few studies on ink painting involving specific alchemy.
He has never made many potions of elixirs at all.
If the young senior sister was making elixirs, he would still stare at her for a while.
But most of the people in the dojo were disciples from other sects that he didn't know.
So after looking at the ink paintings for a while, I felt a little sleepy.
Cheng Mo is even more so.
Situ Jian was better, but not much better.
The three of them looked at each other, nodded slightly, and silently left the crowd.
"Alchemy is a bit boring..." Cheng Mo said, "Except for those who are determined to be alchemists, or have high attainments in alchemy and want to get a place in the alchemy conference, few disciples pay attention to this kind of alchemy competition every day..."
"It's not like the sword debate conference, where fists hit the flesh, spells fly around, and swords are used to fight. That's what's more beautiful..."
Situ Jian also nodded and said: "Indeed, not many people see the Taoist skills such as alchemy."
"It's just that the Dao Discussion Conference is just held now to join in the fun, so there are more people. After a few days, there will be fewer people."
"We have to wait until the Sword Discussion Conference starts after a while. That will be the real event!"
"The Dao Discussion Conference is a grand event in Qianzhou, and the Sword Discussion Conference is also a grand event of the Dao Discussion Conference!"
"Not only the Qianxue Prefecture, but also the Central Dao Court, and even many big families and sects outside will specially send people to watch."
"If you come out on top in the Sword Discussion Conference, you will really stand out from thousands of talented people, honor your ancestors, and become famous!"
