Chapter 311: Derived Calculation

Solving arrays is a method of solving array patterns. Through the generation and overcoming of array patterns, the entire array is opened.

And the reverse spirit array can also solve arrays, but a deeper usage is to directly solve the spiritual power.

Although Ink Painting didn't understand, listening to it just felt very powerful.

"But how do you solve it?"

He could indeed solve arrays, but solving spiritual power was something he had never heard of before.

Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly:

"Divine sense derivation calculation."

Ink Painting furrowed his brow. This was another word he had never heard of.

Any array book he had previously seen, any array master he had come into contact with, had never mentioned the matter of "Divine sense derivation calculation".

"Sir, is divine sense derivation calculation also a kind of extremely profound array study?" Ink Painting asked.

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes."

"How profound?"

"Ordinary array masters won't learn it their entire lives."

Ink Painting was startled, "A lifetime?"

Mr. Zhuang emphasized again, "A lifetime!"

"Even high-grade array masters don't learn it?"

Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "High-grade array masters just have high cultivation and strong divine sense, so they learn a higher grade of arrays. When it comes to the use of divine sense and understanding of arrays, they are not necessarily higher than some low-grade array masters."

Ink Painting was shocked.

So there was such a saying...

"Then do array masters not learn divine sense derivation calculation because they can't use it, or because it's too difficult?" Ink Painting asked again.

Mr. Zhuang said, "Both because they can't use it, and because it's too difficult."

Mr. Zhuang sighed slightly, "Arrays are profound and vast, and the more advanced the array, the more it seizes the creation of heaven and earth, reversing the yin and yang of the universe."

"Compared to it, the cultivator's divine sense is just tiny. The more profound the array is learned, the more stretched the divine sense is. It's already good to be able to comprehend the array. Where can there be extra divine sense to again derive and calculate the array?"

Ink Painting listened and nodded frequently.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Ink Painting and said with a gentle expression:

"Originally, divine sense derivation calculation is not something you should learn now, but if I don't teach it now, it's possible that no one else will teach you later."

"Your divine sense foundation is so good, it would be a pity not to learn a bit."

Ink Painting said with some sadness, "Sir, you are leaving?"

Mr. Zhuang sighed softly and said, "There is no banquet that doesn't end. I have stayed in this place long enough."

Ink Painting's little face became dejected.

Mr. Zhuang gently touched his head, "There's still some time, I will teach you some more things. You should learn well."

Ink Painting nodded seriously and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely learn well!"

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly, and then explained the matter of divine sense derivation calculation to Ink Painting:

"The array knowledge you learned before, whether it's array medium, array pattern, array hub, array eye, or single arrays and complex arrays, are all cognitions of arrays based on the array structure itself."

"You should have already perceived that besides the array structure, the essence of the array's effect comes from the flow of spiritual power."

"The array eye is the root of spiritual power flow, the array medium is the carrier of spiritual power flow, and the array pattern and array hub are the tracks of spiritual power flow."

"The heavenly path has different paths but leads to the same destination, just like other cultivation techniques and Dao laws, even the cultivation of the Dao industry. Spiritual power is the inherent essence."

"The so-called divine sense derivation calculation is to deduce and reconstruct the running track of the array's spiritual power in the sea of consciousness."

"Just like in divine sense, you can see the state of others' spiritual power in general, divine sense derivation calculation is also calculating the existence of array spiritual power in detail within divine sense."

Ink Painting thought back to when he was in the fog forest before and perceived the existence of the fog array, so he could distinguish directions.

However, at that time, he only perceived a vague array pattern, or more accurately, the spiritual power shadow formed by the array pattern, not the clear spiritual power flow.

Ink Painting weakly asked, "What's the use of this?"

Mr. Zhuang laughed a little and explained carefully:

"First, it can deepen your understanding of arrays, let you know what the array pattern and array hub are used for, and how spiritual power penetrates the array pattern through the array hub."

"Ultimately, the array pattern and array hub are forms, and the flow of spiritual power is the essence."

"If you understand this point, you will know why in the same array, different inheritances and different schools always have some differences in the strokes of the array pattern."

"You can also understand why, in the same array, some array masters' array patterns are different every time they write, but it doesn't affect the array's effect at all; while some array masters' array patterns are only crooked by one stroke, and the array is completely scrapped."

Ink Painting's eyes brightened and he asked, "Is it because the former's array pattern is different, but it doesn't affect the spiritual power's flow, while the latter's spiritual power doesn't flow even though it's only crooked by one stroke, so the array is invalid? Is that how it is?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded in praise and then warned:

"Some array masters who are stuck in their ways and don't understand the essence of arrays will regard the fixed array pattern as the heavenly path itself, worshiping the form as the standard, and not allowing a single stroke to be added or deleted. You absolutely must not learn this kind of stubbornness."

"Um um." Ink Painting nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Zhuang continued, "Second, if you learn divine sense derivation calculation, you can calculate its array pattern just by perceiving the spiritual power flow in the array with your divine sense."

"Some arrays are hidden very deeply. You can't see the details, and arrays whose details you can't see are the most dangerous."

"In the future, if you travel outside and mistakenly enter someone else's array, and you can't see the array pattern, and you can't guess what kind of array it is, you are basically just sitting and waiting to die."

"If you guess wrong and mistakenly see a killing array as an illusion array, the consequences are equally serious."

Ink Painting suddenly realized, "So by learning derivation calculation, I can see through the array just by relying on the array's spiritual power flow! Like this, other array masters will have no way to deal with you!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded.

Ink Painting's eyes brightened, and he said quietly, "Then can I also secretly learn other people's arrays?"

If he could deduce the array pattern by relying on the array's spiritual power, he wouldn't need an array diagram to learn arrays.

In the future, if he were to be targeted by another array master using an array, he could even directly learn their array.

"Your array is very powerful, but I only need to take a few glances, and it will be mine."

Ink Painting could already imagine the domineering appearance he would have when he said these words in the future.

However, Mr. Zhuang shook his head.

Ink Painting was greatly disappointed and said regretfully, "Can't I secretly learn?"

"You can learn, but you can't call it secretly learning."

Mr. Zhuang laughed a little and said with a strong sense of righteousness, "Relying on one's own ability, learning openly and uprightly, how can it be called secretly learning?"

Ink Painting was slightly startled, and then also laughed and said, "Sir is right!"

"The last use of divine sense derivation calculation is what I told you before, borrowing the reverse spirit array to reverse and solve the spiritual power, thereby causing the array to collapse, producing a destructive power that can be called terrifying."

Mr. Zhuang's gaze slightly narrowed, and his tone also became heavier.

Ink Painting's heart was shocked and somewhat curious, "How strong can it be?"

"It depends on the strength of the array. Ordinary single arrays are not worth collapsing because the spiritual power composition is too weak; common complex arrays also don't need to be collapsed because the array hub structure is simple; only somewhat complex complex arrays have the necessity to collapse."

"On this basis, the more complex the array, the more powerful the spiritual power, and the stronger the power produced after the collapse."

Ink Painting's spirit was uplifted, "Can it kill enemies across ranks? Can the collapse of a first-grade complex array kill Foundation Building?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes."

Ink Painting's expression was excited, "Then I..."

"Impossible."

Ink Painting's mood was complex and hard to describe, "Sir, I haven't said anything yet..."

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but laugh, "I don't need you to say it, I also know that you want to collapse complex arrays and harm a few Foundation Building cultivators."

Ink Painting smiled shyly, "Impossible?"

"Impossible."

Seeing Ink Painting's doubting expression, Mr. Zhuang said directly:

"Your divine sense is not enough."

Ink Painting was somewhat surprised, "Is Foundation Building divine sense actually not enough?"

"Not enough." Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Why are there so few array masters who learn divine sense derivation calculation? It's precisely because the consumption of divine sense during derivation calculation is absurdly high."

"I am teaching you now because your divine sense has just reached the threshold of Foundation Building, but with your current divine sense, at most you can only derive and calculate simple first-grade complex arrays. The power of this collapse can injure Foundation Building cultivators, but it's impossible to cause death."

Foundation Building divine sense actually only just reached the threshold...

Ink Painting was somewhat disappointed.

Mr. Zhuang said warmly, "I teach you divine sense derivation calculation not to let you collapse arrays, but to let you see through the essence of arrays, better comprehend arrays, and not endanger your life in the future because you fall into other array masters' arrays and can't see through the details..."

Ink Painting was startled, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Sir!"
