Chapter 227: Foundation Building Divine Sense (Part Five)
Mo Hua was stunned.
Zhuang Mister said, "These days, I've been going through the notes left by our predecessors who cultivated the Heavenly Derivative Technique. After some research and considering the puzzle array you encountered, I've noticed something."
Mo Hua's spirits lifted, and he listened intently.
"The bottleneck of the Heavenly Derivative Technique varies from person to person," Zhuang Mister said slowly.
Mo Hua was slightly taken aback. "'Varies from person to person?'"
"Do you remember the small print in the remarks section of the Heavenly Derivative Technique's cultivation method?" Zhuang Mister asked.
Mo Hua recalled, "The bottleneck lies in the divine sense. Only formation masters may cultivate it."
"The problem lies with your divine sense," Zhuang Mister said, looking at Mo Hua. "Your divine sense is too strong. The stronger the divine sense, the stronger the bottleneck."
Mo Hua's mouth hung open, and he asked weakly, "Then, if my divine sense was a bit weaker, would cultivating the Heavenly Derivative Technique be much smoother...?"
Zhuang Mister looked at Mo Hua with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Weaker divine sense, weaker bottleneck, and naturally, the effect of the technique would be weaker as well."
Mo Hua thought about it. The benefit of the Heavenly Derivative Technique was to sharpen one's divine sense, enhance control, and draw formations faster. But since he already had an exceptional divine sense, this benefit didn't seem as significant if it were weaker.
"Are you thinking that divine sense control isn't that important either?" Zhuang Mister saw through Mo Hua's thoughts.
Mo Hua nodded honestly.
"The purpose of the Heavenly Derivative Technique is to train your control over your divine sense by unraveling formations in your sea of consciousness," Zhuang Mister explained. "The more complex the formation you unravel, the sharper your divine sense control becomes after the breakthrough."
Zhuang Mister's eyes shone with emotion. "Divine sense control is extremely important for formation masters and even cultivators. It affects the speed at which you draw formations and cast spells."
In simpler terms, the more you cultivate this technique, the faster and more numerous your formations will be, and the faster you'll be able to cast spells.
Mo Hua nodded. "So, this technique is quite powerful, isn't it?"
"As I said before, it varies from person to person," Zhuang Mister said, his gaze sharpening. "The stronger the divine sense, the more this technique empowers you. Conversely, the weaker the divine sense, the less impressive the technique becomes."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up.
His divine sense was strong—not just strong, but exceptionally so.
It seemed he had made the right choice after all; the Heavenly Derivative Technique was indeed the most suitable technique for him.
Mo Hua felt a sense of pride, but Zhuang Mister quickly poured cold water on his excitement. "While it's true that a stronger divine sense leads to a more potent effect from the technique, the bottleneck you face during the breakthrough will also be more formidable, and the puzzle array will be even more complex."
Mo Hua frowned.
"The consciousness sea puzzle array you faced during the Liquefaction Stage was already a First Grade Complex Formation. Now, if you want to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, what level of puzzle array do you think you'll need to unravel?" Zhuang Mister asked.
Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat at his words. "It's not going to be a grand formation, is it...?"
"Not necessarily," Zhuang Mister said. "Technically, while grand formations fall within the scope of First Grade, they are not something a First Grade formation master should learn."
"Mister, can I learn grand formations now?" Mo Hua asked.
"Not yet."
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
If Zhuang Mister said so, he shouldn't get ahead of himself.
The immediate priority was to address the issue with the cultivation technique.
"The stronger my divine sense and the stronger the bottleneck, how can I break through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck in the future?" Mo Hua asked.
Zhuang Mister glanced at him and said indifferently, "It's simple, actually. Just make your divine sense even stronger."
Mo Hua's frown deepened as he realized something. "Mister, if the bottleneck becomes stronger as my divine sense strengthens, doesn't that mean that no matter how strong my divine sense becomes, the bottleneck will always intensify as well? In that case, will simply strengthening my divine sense really help me break through?"
Zhuang Mister's gaze sharpened. "That's why the growth of your divine sense must exceed the limit.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief. The possibility was all he needed.
Then, a realization struck him, and he asked, "Could it be that I need to possess the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to unravel the puzzle array, break through the bottleneck, and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator myself?"
Seeing that Mo Hua had figured it out, Zhuang Mister nodded. "Indeed. The stronger your divine sense, the stronger the bottleneck. But no matter how formidable the cultivation bottleneck is, it's still just a Qi Refining technique. Since your divine sense has exceeded the limits of the Qi Refining realm, you can naturally break through the bottleneck. This also means..."
Zhuang Mister paused, his eyes fixed on Mo Hua, as he continued, "Other cultivators must reach the Foundation Establishment stage to attain the divine sense of that stage, but you are different. You must first possess the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to become one yourself!"
