A few days later, Mo Hua and his men arrived in Shangtai City.

Shangtai City is just a small fairy city, smaller than Tongxian City, and there are fewer foundation building in the city.

The streets are not very prosperous, and the monks who come and go, dress poorly and have sad faces.

Ink painting sighed slightly.

It seems that not only the casual cultivators in Tongxian City are in trouble, but most of the casual cultivators in this world are the same.

And the suffering may be even more difficult.

Several people entered the city and found an inn to rest.

Mr. Zhuang left a painting alone to speak.

The ink painting was on a small stool, sitting respectfully, listening to Mr. Zhuang's words attentively.

Mr. Zhuang asked gently: "Do you know what to do during this trip?"

Mo Hua thought about it and replied:

"Learn the formation?"

“What about it?”

"Well..." Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "Build the foundation?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "You are different from ordinary people and from ordinary formation masters. The technique you practice is the bottleneck of the Tianyan Art. The formation is lies in the formation."

"Your formation and cultivation are actually one."

"If you don't learn the formation well, you can't solve the mystery, you can't break the bottleneck, and your cultivation level cannot be improved."

"If you don't improve your cultivation, you can't break the realm, and you can't learn a higher-level formation..."

"More importantly, the formation you need to learn is much more difficult than others. If you learn general formations, you can't solve the mystery and break through the bottleneck..."

Mo Hua nodded. He had expected these things.

If he wants to become a great formation master, he must become a great monk. If he wants to become a great monk, he must also become a great formation master.

"Master, what should I do before building the foundation? Will I continue to learn the formation?" Mo Hua asked.

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "That's right."

"But...what formation should I learn?" Mo Hua asked in confusion.

He learned the first-grade ten-patterned reverse spirit formation, and he also learned the Five Elements Demon Demon Array.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up immediately, "Can I learn the second-grade formation?"

Mr. Zhuang saw through the thoughts of Mo Hua, smiled and shook his head, "No..."

Ink painting was a little disappointed.

Mr. Zhuang explained: "The spiritual power composition of the second-grade formation is completely different from that of the first-grade. If your cultivation level is not improved to the foundation building, you will not be able to learn the second-grade formation without the spiritual power of the second-grade mercury."

"Then I... still learn the formation?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile:

"How can you learn so many big arrays? There are not many first-grade big arrays, and most of them are top secret inheritances, and I don't have much..."

"What's more, even if you learn it, how can you build a large formation?"

"The manpower and material resources required for the formation are extremely huge."

"If the great demon had not appeared in the world and Tongxian City was in danger, and they all trusted you and were willing to work together with you, otherwise you would not have built the Five Elements Demon Demon Array."

Mo Hua was stunned and thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

The cost of building a large array is too high and the risk is too high. There are only a handful of forces within the state boundary that can truly build a large array.

These forces have either built a large formation.

Even if there is no large formation, if you want to build a new one, it is impossible to find Mo Hua to be the main formation master.

They could not believe that Mo Hua, the thirteen-year-old small formation master, was the main formation master.

He would not trust Mo Hua and become the main formation master of the big formation.

Mo Hua scratched her head, "Then what else can I learn?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "Do you still remember the ultimate formation I told you?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and nodded:

"A formation with a first-grade nine-line pattern or above, separated from the Taoist court's standards, requires super-grade spiritual consciousness, and exceeds the principles of formation knowledge, is called the ultimate formation."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "The world's ultimate formation is out of reach for other formation masters, but for you, it is a compulsory formation. You can learn it, and you must learn it."

Mo Hua originally wanted to learn some more difficult formations, but after changing his mind, he asked weakly:

"Master, if I don't learn the ultimate formation, can I build a foundation..."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Generally speaking, your current spiritual consciousness and formation level are enough to build the foundation."

The ink painting looked happy.

Mr. Zhuang said again: "...but just building the foundation is not enough."

Mo Hua blinked, "Is it because his spiritual sense is not strong enough..."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Compared with monks in the same realm, your spiritual consciousness is already very strong, but it is not strong enough."

Mo Hua asked in confusion: "How strong is it to be considered strong enough?"

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly condensed and he said slowly:

"At least above the thirteen lines..."

Mo Hua opened her mouth wide, "Above the thirteen lines... is it the middle stage of foundation building?"

"No," Mr. Zhuang said in a deep voice, "In the early stage of foundation building, the ten to thirteen lines of spiritual consciousness, and above the thirteen lines, is the middle stage of foundation building."

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he paused and said:

"Do you remember what I told you about the foundation building of spiritual consciousness?"

"Remember." Mo Hua nodded.

Mr. Zhuang said solemnly:

"Building foundation is the first breakthrough in the great realm. After the breakthrough, the spiritual power will change qualitatively and the spiritual consciousness will double."

"So before building the foundation, you must lay a solid foundation."

"Before building the foundation, you are a little behind, and after building the foundation, you are much behind, and the further you practice, the gap will become bigger and bigger."

"Many monks do not value foundations, but only pursue the progress of their practice and rashly build the foundation, which leads to insufficient foundations. Even though they start to be glorious, they will soon become lost in the public. Therefore, it is not enough to simply build the foundation. You must choose your own Tao, lay the foundation, and then build the foundation of Tao."

"Is my Tao... the spiritual consciousness?"

Mo Hua still remembers what Mr. Zhuang said about the truth of the divine consciousness.

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "The disadvantages of your physical body and spiritual roots are difficult to make up for, and they will never be compared with those prides of heaven. However, your spiritual consciousness may be far ahead of you, making all the geniuses of the same generation unable to reach..."

"That's why I want you to strengthen your spiritual consciousness to the extreme before building the foundation."

"If you have the spiritual consciousness above the thirteen-stitched pattern, once the spiritual consciousness is built and the spiritual consciousness doubles, you may directly enter the late stage of the foundation building!"

Mr. Zhuang said, and he felt a little trembling in his heart.

As soon as you enter the foundation building, you have the spiritual consciousness comparable to the later stage of foundation building.

This is the real peerless monster.

The spiritual consciousness looks obscure, not as direct and powerful as spiritual power and blood energy, but that is because the spiritual consciousness of other monks is not strong enough.

If the spiritual consciousness is extremely strong, it is absolutely terrifying.

The supreme consciousness, which ruled everything, is enough to make all things in the world, all living beings surrender to the trembling power of fear.

Although I don’t know how powerful this is, I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak.

Then he asked with some anticipation:

"Then how can I enhance my spiritual consciousness to more than thirteen lines..."

Mr. Zhuang came back to his senses, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "It's still the old method, it's also a stupid method... to draw the formation."

Comprehend the formation and temper the spiritual consciousness.

Other formation masters can't do this, but Mr. Zhuang knows that ink painting can be done.

There is an opportunity in Mo Hua that he can't see clearly.

There are many times when I draw the formation, which is too many more than other formation masters. I must be practicing the formation day and night.

This is something that many formation masters cannot do.

Moreover, when practicing the formation by ink painting, it seems that the spiritual consciousness increases is more than other formation masters.

It seems that I have learned something in the dark.
