"Spiritual power is condensed into spells through the spells in the meridians; formations are formed through the lines of the formations... In other words, it is transformed through certain 'laws' of the great avenue..."

"Spells, sword styles, and formations are all some kind of 'reification' of the law of the great road. Using this law, the spiritual power itself can produce different killing powers..."

Mo Hua vaguely felt that he seemed to have caught something.

Ancestor Dugu added another point: "The weakest point in your sword practice is that you cannot condense powerful sword energy."

"In other words, your understanding of the law of converting spiritual power into 'sword energy' is too shallow."

"so……"

"So," Mo Hua suddenly realized, "we need to use the Tao of formations to replace the Tao of swordsmanship, and use formations to 'simulate sword energy'! Just like I use the sword..."

Ancestor Dugu was startled, "Can you still wield a sword?"

"It's not like I'm good at it..." Mo Hua whispered, "I just practiced randomly for fun."

In a sense, it is purely "crooked".

Ancestor Dugu thought about it briefly and understood what Mo Hua had done. He nodded in approval and said:

"Although it is unseemly, your idea is not bad, but it cannot be regarded as orthodox swordsmanship."

Mo Hua assumed that his ancestor was praising him and smiled shyly.

Ancestor Dugu nodded, and then said: "That's the truth. It should be possible to transform a sword into a sword with spiritual thoughts, but I am not a formation master after all. I don't know how to do this specific transformation.

Do."

"You can figure it out for yourself when you go back. If you don't understand something, come back and ask me."

"besides……"

Patriarch Dugu took out a jade slip. The jade slip was simple and unsophisticated, with no words or marks engraved on it. It was obviously written by his own hand.

Ancestor Dugu said: "Most of the original books of Taixu Divine Mind's True Sword Transformation Technique have been destroyed. This is what I excerpted. It contains the sword transformation technique, the most complete method."

"You can't take this thing out. Just look at it here. You can see as much as you can."

"Don't underestimate the 'Sword Transformation Style'..."

Ancestor Dugu said in a deep voice:

"In the true art of Divine Mind Transforming into Swords, the Sword Transformation Style is the foundation. The power of all sword moves depends on your skills in the Sword Transformation Style."

"If the sword is strong, all sword moves will be strong."

Mo Hua couldn't hide the excitement in his expression, nodded and said: "Yes, ancestor, I will definitely study hard!"

Then he respectfully took the jade slip in the "sword-turning style" from the hands of Patriarch Dugu.

This is the canon of Taixu’s divine thoughts transforming into swords.

The ink painting was excited. He rubbed the jade slip with his hands for a moment, and then his consciousness sank into it. A line of words drawn with silver hooks and iron appeared in his mind:

"The True Secret of Taixu's Divine Mind to Transform into a Sword·Sword Transformation Style..."

"The sword energy is condensed, the sword is used to express the intention, and it is transformed into the shape of the sword..."

"Turn the sword in your hand into the sword in your heart."

"The sword technique is superb and the sword energy is exquisite. When it manifests into a sword style, it becomes more and more dazzling..."

"Different swordsmanship means different forms of swordsmanship..."

"Different monks have different perceptions of the way of swordsmanship, and their sword transformations are also different..."

…

Mo Hua read through it quickly first, and then gradually realized:

"The way of swordsmanship is also a way, and the way of formation is also a way..."

"First, we must study the appearance, and then through the appearance, understand the essence of sword energy, which is the law of spiritual power transformation."

"My understanding of the 'laws' of swordsmanship is too shallow, so I will find a way to use the 'laws' of formation to replace swordsmanship and derive sword energy."

"That means..."

Mo Hua only felt that he had vaguely realized something. He lowered his head and pondered to capture the inspiration that came to his mind. After a while, his thoughts suddenly became clear:

Sword array!

Use the sword formation as the rule!

"The sword formation itself is the use of formations to derive or amplify sword energy. It is a presentation of the laws of kendo in the form of formations."

"In this way, by understanding the sword formation and analyzing the mystery of the sword energy derived from the sword formation, you can also understand the sword's intention to a certain extent, thus making up for your own weakness in swordsmanship."

"From the perspective of formation, the sword is dissected and integrated into one, and the sword formation is the best medium..."

Mo Hua's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

Ancestor Dugu also nodded slightly.

This kid is really smart and can understand the basics.

Ancestor Dugu thought for a while and finally said: "Sword cultivators don't learn formations. Even if they do, it's difficult to master them. Formation masters are generally not sword cultivators."

"So ordinary monks either learn swordsmanship or formation formation. The two are distinct, and each learns its own thing."

"It is rare for a monk to be proficient in both swordsmanship and formation techniques to the pinnacle, involving the deep level of 'Tao'."

"But you are different..." Ancestor Dugu glanced at the ink painting, "Your talent for formations is rare in the world, and you have to skip the basics of sword cultivation and learn how to transform swords with spiritual thoughts."

"In this way, it is most appropriate to use the formation to enter the sword."

"Almost no one has walked this road, and no one else can walk it. You can only explore it yourself..."

"As for how far you have learned, it all depends on you." Ancestor Dugu took a deep look at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua nodded seriously: "Don't worry, ancestor, I will definitely study hard!"

He seized the time and carefully read the "Sword Transformation Form" in Taixu's Divine Mind Transformation Sword Art, and memorized the core content in his heart.

When the time came, Patriarch Dugu tore open the void and sent the ink painting back to his disciple's residence.

Back at the disciple's residence, there was still some time before dawn, so Mo Hua couldn't wait to sink his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness.

He began to ponder the words of Patriarch Dugu in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and also pondered the iteration of the "Sword Transformation Style".

Use the sword formation to derive sword energy.

He had tried this when he was wielding a sword.

But before, he only made mistakes and tampered with the shape of the sword in a "opportunistic" way, without understanding the underlying principles.

Now that his ancestor had given some advice, he finally understood that once he understood the principles of the Great Dao and understood the changes in laws, he no longer had to stick to external forms.

Transforming spiritual thoughts into swords can also follow this idea.

The power of the sword depends on the monk's own foundation and understanding of the way of the sword.

My sword skills are very weak, but my formation skills are extremely strong.

Then "learn from each other's strong points to compensate for weaknesses", use formation method to replace sword method, use "formation method" to simulate sword energy and transform sword intention.

My formation foundation, guided by Mr. Xun, is as solid as a rock.

And through the enlightenment of Dugu Patriarch, his own sword will further transform.

Formation and swordsmanship are integrated at the spiritual level...

Mo Hua nodded and decided to give it a try.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Mo Hua sat cross-legged in meditation and began to reconstruct his own "Sword Transformation Style" based on the original understanding according to the ideas suggested by Patriarch Dugu.

He first manifested the Broken Golden Sword Formation.

This is the core formation inherited from the Duanjinmen swordsmanship, and it is also the only sword formation that he is currently proficient in.

After the sword formation was manifested, Mo Hua began to manifest the sword of divine thought, trying to merge the two.

But I tried several times and failed.

It's easy to say, but in practice, it's completely different.

The formation technique is a formation technique, and the divine thought-turned-sword is a divine thought-turned-sword. These are two completely different methods, and they cannot be easily integrated.

I tried ink painting many times, but it still didn't work.

Formation and swordsmanship are clearly distinct.

Mo Hua did not give up and kept trying, but until dawn, there was still no progress.

The next day, Mo Hua got up and went to class to practice. He didn't even practice formations after class, and concentrated on studying the integration of spiritual formations and spiritual swordsmanship.

But he tried for several days, but to no avail.

"Is this road unworkable?"

Mo Hua frowned, and then he shook his head, "It's impossible. The ancestor has already warned me. In other words, based on his insight, the laws are consistent and the principles are feasible."

"I can't figure it out. It's not that my ancestor was wrong. There must be something wrong with my method..."
To be continued...
