The Quest for Immortality

Find adventures on

So the Divine Sense actually consumed was a bit more than that of thirteen stripes.

And the Spiritual Pivot Formation only had twelve patterns.

If the Divine Sense strengthened by the Spiritual Pivot Formation were a small stream,

Then the Divine Sense strengthened by the Five Elements Spirit Formation would be a small river.

But be it a small stream or a small river, in front of the threshold from thirteen to fourteen stripes, both seem somewhat insignificant.

It’s like channeling water into a ravine; the water is not a little, but the ravine is unfathomably deep and can never be filled...

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment and said, "Then forget it, just build the foundation with the peak Divine Sense of thirteen stripes..."

"You don’t need to reach fourteen stripes?" Mo Hua asked weakly.

"No more forcing it. Although fourteen stripes are good, they are indeed too difficult..."

And plans cannot keep up with changes; there’s not much time left...

There was a fleeting look of melancholy in Mr. Zhuang’s gaze before he then instructed,

"You just build your foundation with the peak Divine Sense of thirteen stripes. Although it isn’t extremely supreme, it is already very good..."

Mr. Zhuang originally wanted to say "very strong," but he hesitated for a moment and still didn’t want Mo Hua to become arrogant.

However, in all fairness, having the Divine Sense at the peak of thirteen stripes in Qi Refinement is extremely rare in his recognition, even considered to be at the limit...

Going beyond that is truly too difficult.

Mr. Zhuang said gravely, "If you build your foundation with the peak Divine Sense of thirteen stripes, theoretically, you should overcome the obstacles, and your Divine Sense should increase manifold, reaching the Qi Foundation Middle Stage, between fourteen and sixteen stripes."

"As for the exact amount, it will depend on the Taoist Skill..."

Mo Hua asked curiously, "Master, if the Divine Sense multiplies, why isn’t it twenty-six stripes?"

Mr. Zhuang was taken aback and lightly tapped Mo Hua’s forehead,

"What are you thinking? The increase of Divine Sense isn’t simply arithmetic."

"The number of patterns is just a scale."

"Between two scales, the amount of Divine Sense can differ as much as heaven is from earth."

"Nine stripes in Qi Refinement, and ten stripes in Foundation Establishment, are already a substantial difference, a full double."

"Twenty-six stripes, that’s already the Golden Core..."

"Such good fortune doesn’t just happen..."

Mo Hua smiled sheepishly, then curiously asked again,

"Master, is the disparity in Divine Sense also a full double between the initial and middle stages of Foundation Establishment?"

Mr. Zhuang replied, "Not necessarily. The Divine Sense disparity between the early and middle phases of Foundation Establishment is significant, but it won’t be as much as a full double."

Mo Hua, with his keen mind, immediately found another question,

"Then why can my Divine Sense only reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment after it increases upon my breakthrough?"

Mr. Zhuang took a sip of tea and continued to explain to Mo Hua,

"Because the further you go with Divine Sense, the slower and more difficult its growth becomes."

"Moreover, your situation is quite special; your current Divine Sense is already very strong, so your realm breakthrough will lead to a great increase in Divine Sense, but it may not necessarily double."

"Heavenly Dao maintains balance, always with limits and often with many restrictions..."

If it weren’t limited, your Divine Sense would truly become ’unruly and untamed’...

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and silently sighed to himself.

Mo Hua nodded as if he understood.

"Alright, focus on your cultivation..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua again and said with a gentle smile,

"I estimate that in less than a month, your Cultivation will be nearly adequate. Try to break through the realm and see what the bottleneck of the Heaven Yan Jue is, then we can find a way to break through the bottleneck and build the Taoist Foundation!"

"Yes!"

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes sparkling.

Though he couldn’t reach fourteen stripes, and that was a pity, he was still very happy to be on the verge of Foundation Establishment.

Without the fourteen stripes, so be it...

Man follows the earth, the earth follows the heavens, the heavens follow the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

Tao Cultivation is about following the natural course of things, without forcing anything.

You should not bite off more than you can chew.

For the next month, Mo Hua focused entirely on his cultivation, tirelessly absorbing Spirit Stones.

Even when studying Formation, he only did it at the Taoist Stele at 1 p.m., and during the daylight hours, he mostly used his time to meditate and assimilate Spirit Stones.

Normal cultivation requires a steady pace, like the constant dripping that wears away a stone.

Persistence every day, with practice making perfect.

But now, on the verge of Foundation Establishment, it is necessary to spend more time and more Spirit Stones, to use both time and Spirit Stones on the "cutting edge."

Mo Hua cultivated with single-minded devotion, preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng, knowing that Mo Hua was about to build his foundation, did not disturb him, and silently protected their junior brother to prevent any mishaps in his cultivation or disturbances from others.

And Mo Hua’s cultivation was progressing smoothly.

Spirit Stones were consumed one after another, and Spiritual Power was increasing bit by bit.

Finally, after a month.

Mo Hua’s Cultivation reached the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Level.

At the same time, he also touched upon the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment...
