Mo Hua took out the Thousand Jun Stick, stared at it intently for a while, and memorized its shape, structure, and formations completely in his mind.
Then he closed his eyes, sank into his Sea of Consciousness, and tried to manifest the Thousand Jun Stick.
After a while, a shadowy image of a stick appeared in Mo Hua's hands.
Mo Hua was delighted.
Though it was only a shadow, it still marked significant progress.
Now, within the Sea of Consciousness, he could hit people with a surprise stick as well.
Mo Hua swung it a few times, trying out the moves "Sweeping Thousands of Armies" and "Like a Thousand Pounds," feeling even more adept than when using it outside.
After playing with it for quite a while, Mo Hua reluctantly put away the "Thousand Jun Stick."
He had spent the better half of the day experimenting, confirming that among all external objects and people, he could only initially manifest a nascent form of the "Thousand Jun Stick."
What he needed to attempt next was the manifestation of his own Spiritual Power and Spells, as well as Formations.
Mo Hua first tried to manifest his own Spiritual Power.
He visualized himself, simulating the circulation of Spiritual Power through his meridians, and soon felt a mysterious energy flowing around his body.
Mo Hua was invigorated and concentrated further on visualizing and manifesting.
Several hours later, Mo Hua in the Sea of Consciousness opened his eyes to find that his body was wrapped in a faint Spiritual Power.
This power wasn't actually Spiritual Power.
It was produced by Divine Sense Manifestation.
On the surface, it appeared to be Spiritual Power, but its essence was still Divine Sense.
Although it was Divine Sense, its effects closely resembled those of Spiritual Power.
It was as if it were both real and fake, both solid and void.
There was a profound sense in which one might see a mountain as a mountain, then as not a mountain, yet in the end, the mountain is still a mountain.
Spiritual Power is the foundation of Spells.
With Spiritual Power manifested, Mo Hua began trying to simulate Spells with it.
It seemed as if, within the virtual image of Mo Hua's Divine Sense, he could see the light blue Spiritual Power flowing along the meridians in the Dantian and arms, converging at the fingertips, and eventually forming a Spell.
However, the Spark from the Fireball Technique fizzled out after a few flashes.
The first attempt had failed.
Despite this, Mo Hua was not discouraged.
