Divine Sense Becomes the Dao?!
Mo Hua's heart chilled as he asked, "Divine Sense Becomes the Dao, what does that mean?"
The Little Five Elements Ghost pulled at the corner of his mouth, offering a bitter smile, "How would I know that?"
Mo Hua's gaze turned unfriendly.
The Little Five Elements Ghost quickly explained, "I really don't know, I'm not a Tao Teaching Elder, and I don't understand Formations. Asking me about this, aren't you just making it difficult for me..."
"Moreover, these words...I've only heard them mentioned..."
Mo Hua inquired, "Which Elder spoke these words?"
The Little Five Elements Ghost shook his head, "I don't know that either. He's very old, his face all wrinkles, his Blood Qi constantly in decline, hardly able to open his eyes. I've never seen him on normal days."
"But the old Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, as well as a crowd of Elders, treat him with great respect, obviously due to his seniority."
Obviously due to his seniority...
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
Someone with such seniority might know the mystery of the Five Elements Spirit Formation.
Mo Hua turned his head again to look at the Taoist Field.
In the center of the Taoist Field, the Five Elements Spirit Formation shone brilliantly.
The scene from just moments before came back to Mo Hua's mind.
He had manifested the Five Elements Spirit Formation, but the Formation Patterns were dim.
The formless, unintentional Divine Sense, flowing from atop the meditation cushion into the Five Elements Spirit Formation in the Taoist Field, caused the Five Elements Spirit Formation to light up...
A manifested Formation lighting up signifies the Formation taking effect.
This was identical to what was inside the Taoist Stele.
On the Taoist Stele, when the Formation Patterns light up, it signifies the successful activation of the Formation.
Mo Hua propped his chin up, quietly pondering...
Divine Sense infused into the Five Elements Spirit Formation, the Patterns lit up...
This appeared to be a demonstration.
It was also the last link in the inheritance.
The five meditation cushions outside the Shrine taught the Formation Patterns of the Five Elements Spirit Formation.
The sixth "cushion," which only had a position, opened the door to the Shrine.
Inside the Shrine, atop the Taoist Field, this meditation cushion—the seventh cushion—revealed the mystery of the Five Elements Spirit Formation.
Divine Sense Becomes the Dao...
Conservation of Spiritual Power...
From one, two arises; from two, three springs forth...
Mo Hua's heart trembled, and he suddenly enlightened.
Spiritual Power is conserved; the amount of Circulation Spiritual Power condenses an equal amount of Spells.
And the power of the Five Elements can amplify the might of Spells.
Spiritual Power itself does not increase or grow stronger. From where then does this amplified portion of Spell might come?
Mo Hua's gaze sharpened.
It was Divine Sense.
The old Elders of the Five Elements Sect had mentioned about Divine Sense Becomes the Dao, meaning to integrate Divine Sense into Taoist Skill, merging it with Spiritual Power.
Only by doing this could one enhance the power of the Five Elements without changing the amount of Spiritual Power.
But Drawing Formation requires the expenditure of Divine Sense...
What was the difference between the two?
Mo Hua recalled once again the image of Divine Thoughts merging into the Spirit Formation from atop the cushion, and his understanding gradually deepened.
Typically, when Drawing Formation, the Divine Sense consumed isn't used within the Formation itself, but rather seems to be...
Required to comprehend the Great Dao, to connect with the obscure Taoist Meaning of the cosmos, expending mental effort just to draw out the Patterns.
This type of Divine Sense is the depletion of contemplation.
But the Five Elements Spirit Formation is different.
Apart from the Divine Sense consumed by the Formation itself, one must also infuse an additional part of Divine Sense into the Formation, merging it with Spiritual Power.
In such a situation, the power of Divine Thoughts and Spiritual Power converge toward the same path, both considered a form of Tao Cultivation power.
Divine Sense Becomes the Dao.
Only by uniting Divine Sense with Spiritual Power can one draw out the true Five Elements Spirit Formation!
But precisely because of this, the Ultimate Formation required significantly more Divine Sense than just the Thirteen Stripes.
