Chapter 375: Supreme Divine Sense

A few days later, Mo Hua and several others arrived at Shangtaicheng.

Shangtaicheng is just a small immortal city, smaller than Tongxiancheng, and there are few Foundation Establishment cultivators within the city.

The streets are also not very prosperous; the cultivators coming and going are shabbily dressed, and their expressions are mostly filled with worry and hardship.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

It seems that it is not only the rogue cultivators in Tongxiancheng who are struggling; rogue cultivators in this world are mostly the same.

Moreover, the place of hardship may be even more so without comparison.

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

Mister Zhuang specifically kept Mo Hua to talk.

Mo Hua sat respectfully on the small stool, listening attentively to Mister Zhuang's words.

Mister Zhuang gently asked, "Do you know what to do this time on the journey?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and replied, "Learn array methods?"

"Besides that?"

"Um..." Mo Hua pondered for a bit and then said, "Foundation Establishment?"

Mister Zhuang nodded. "You are different from ordinary people, and also different from ordinary array masters. The technique you cultivate is Tianyan Jue. The bottleneck of Tianyan Jue lies in array methods."

"Your array methods and cultivation are actually one body."

"If you don't learn array methods well, you cannot solve the maze array, cannot break the bottleneck, and your cultivation cannot improve."

"If your cultivation doesn't improve, you cannot break through the realm, and then you cannot learn higher-grade array methods..."

"More importantly, the array methods you need to learn are much more profound than those others learn. If you learn general array methods, you fundamentally cannot solve the maze array or break the bottleneck..."

Mo Hua nodded. He had expected these things for a long time.

He wants to become a great array master, he must become a great cultivator; if he wants to become a great cultivator, he must also become a great array master.

"Master, what do I need to do before Foundation Establishment? Continue to learn array methods?" Mo Hua asked.

Mister Zhuang nodded. "Correct."

"But... what array methods should I learn?" Mo Hua asked doubtfully.

He has already learned the first-grade ten-pattern Reverse Spirit Array, and he has also learned the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Array.

Mo Hua's eyes immediately lit up. "Can I learn second-grade array methods?"

Mister Zhuang saw through Mo Hua's thoughts and smilingly shook his head. "Not possible..."

Mo Hua was a bit disappointed.

Mister Zhuang explained, "The spiritual power composition of second-grade array methods is completely different from that of first-grade. If your cultivation doesn't improve to Foundation Establishment, without the second-grade mercury-like spiritual power, you simply cannot learn second-grade array methods."

"Then I... still learn great arrays?"

Mister Zhuang said with a half-smile, "Where are there so many great arrays for you to learn? There are not many first-grade great arrays to begin with, and most of them are also secret inheritances. I don't have many in my possession..."

"Moreover, even if you learned them, how would you go about building great arrays?"

"The manpower and resources required for great arrays are extremely vast."

"Unless a great demon appears and Tongxiancheng is in danger, and they all trust you and are willing to work with you, otherwise you cannot build the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Array either."

Mo Hua was startled. He thought for a moment, and it was indeed so.

The cost of constructing great arrays is too high, and the risk is too great. Within a state boundary, the forces that can truly organize to build great arrays are also few in number.

These forces have either already built great arrays.

Even if they don't have great arrays, it is impossible for them to find Mo Hua to be the main array master if they are to build one from scratch.

They would not possibly believe that Mo Hua, this thirteen-year-old small array master, is the main array master.

They would certainly not trust Mo Hua to be the main array master for great arrays.

Mo Hua scratched his head. "Then what else can I learn?"

Mister Zhuang said, "Do you still remember the absolute arrays I told you about?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and nodded.

"Arrays with more than first-grade nine patterns, deviating from the norms of the Dao Court, requiring super-grade divine sense, and array methods knowledge beyond the syllabus, are called absolute arrays."

Mister Zhuang nodded and said, "The absolute arrays in the world may be out of reach for other array masters, but for you, they are must-learn arrays. You can learn them, and you must learn them."

Mo Hua originally also wanted to learn some more difficult arrays, but his thoughts turned, and he still asked weakly, "Master, suppose I don't learn absolute arrays, can I still reach Foundation Establishment..."

Mister Zhuang said with a half-smile, "Generally speaking, your current divine sense and array methods level are already enough for Foundation Establishment."

Mo Hua's expression brightened.

Mister Zhuang changed his words and said, "...but merely reaching Foundation Establishment is not enough."

Mo Hua blinked his eyes. "Is it because my divine sense is not strong enough..."

Mister Zhuang nodded. "Compared to cultivators of the same realm, your divine sense is already very strong, but it's still not strong enough."

Mo Hua asked doubtfully, "Then how strong does it need to be to be considered strong enough?"

Mister Zhuang's gaze slightly condensed, and he slowly said, "At least above thirteen patterns..."

Mo Hua's mouth opened wide. "Above thirteen patterns... is that Foundation Establishment mid-stage?"

"Correct." Mister Zhuang said solemnly. "Foundation Establishment early stage is ten to thirteen patterns of divine sense. Above thirteen patterns is Foundation Establishment mid-stage."

Mister Zhuang finished speaking, paused for a bit, and then said, "Do you still remember what I told you about the matter of divine sense and Foundation Establishment?"

"I remember," Mo Hua nodded.

Mister Zhuang said with a solemn expression, "Foundation Establishment is the breakthrough to the first major realm. After the breakthrough, spiritual power undergoes a qualitative change, and divine sense multiplies."

"Therefore, before Foundation Establishment, you must lay a good foundation."

"If you fall behind a bit before Foundation Establishment, you will fall behind even more after Foundation Establishment, and the further you cultivate, the bigger the gap will be."

"Many cultivators do not value foundation and only blindly pursue cultivation progress, rashly reaching Foundation Establishment, causing their foundation to be insufficient. Although they may be showy at first, they will soon blend into the crowd. So merely reaching Foundation Establishment is not enough. You must choose your own path well, lay the foundation, and then go to cast the path of Foundation."

"My path... is divine sense?"

Mo Hua still remembers Mister Zhuang's words about proving the Dao with divine sense.

Mister Zhuang nodded. "Your disadvantages in physical body and spiritual root are difficult to compensate for, and you can never compare with those heaven's favored ones, but your divine sense, however, may stand alone and make all heaven's favored ones of the same generation look up in awe..."

"So I just want you to enhance your divine sense to the extreme before Foundation Establishment."

"If you have divine sense above thirteen patterns in Foundation Establishment mid-stage, once you reach Foundation Establishment, after your divine sense multiplies, you may directly step into Foundation Establishment late stage!"

As Mister Zhuang spoke, he himself felt a trace of tremor in his heart.

Just entering Foundation Establishment, and having divine sense comparable to Foundation Establishment late stage.

This is the true unparalleled demon in the world.

Divine sense appears hidden and obscure, not as direct and powerful as spiritual power and blood energy, but that is because other cultivators' divine sense is not strong enough.

If divine sense is strong to the extreme, that is absolute terror.

Supreme divine sense rules over all, and is enough to make all things in heaven and earth, all living beings, submit and tremble in fear.

Although Mo Hua did not know exactly how strong this was, he was also shocked speechless.

Subsequently, he asked somewhat expectantly, "Then how can I enhance my divine sense to above thirteen patterns..."

Mister Zhuang came back to his senses, his gaze flashed slightly, and he said, "Still the old method, also the stupid method... draw array methods."

Comprehend array methods, temper divine sense.

This matter, other array masters cannot do, but Mister Zhuang knows that Mo Hua can.

On Mo Hua's body, there are opportunities that even he cannot see clearly.

Mo Hua draws array methods very many times, far more than other array masters, certainly practicing array methods diligently day and night.

This is something that many array masters cannot do.

Moreover, Mo Hua's practice of array methods, the divine sense that increases, seems to be more than that of other array masters.

As if vaguely, he comprehended something.

So as long as he continues to practice array methods, practice profound array methods with high divine sense consumption, Mo Hua's divine sense will continue to grow.

"The Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Array is a first-grade eleven-pattern great array," Mister Zhuang continued.

Mo Hua was startled, and then his heart thought it was indeed so.

He had already guessed that Mister Zhuang had deceived him...

Not exactly deceived, at least also hiding and not telling him the truth.

Mister Zhuang said, "In other words, your current divine sense is actually also eleven patterns."

"Eleven patterns of divine sense are still stronger than the divine sense of cultivators who have just entered Foundation Establishment, and even some Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators with shallow cultivation."

"You are now at eleven patterns, practicing the ten-pattern Reverse Spirit Array, and the growth of divine sense is already not much."

"You can practice the eleven-pattern great array, but there is no opportunity for you to actually draw it, so the meaning is not great..."

"Moreover, drawing one time the array core of a great array takes too long, and the efficiency of using it to temper divine sense is relatively low."

"So you need to find eleven patterns, or even above eleven patterns of absolute arrays to learn, both to enhance your comprehension of array methods, and also to use array methods to further temper your divine sense."

"The only bottleneck of Tianyan Jue is array methods, and the key to array methods lies in divine sense..."

Mister Zhuang looked at Mo Hua, his gaze profound, and said, "The stronger your divine sense, the better you will learn array methods. The better you learn array methods, the smoother your cultivation will be, and the further you will walk on the path of longevity..."

"Therefore, you must cultivate your divine sense to the extreme."

"In the future, use supreme divine sense to prove your own path!"
