Mo Hua frowned, pretending to be shocked.
All the while, his thoughts flew rapidly, trying his best to memorize the entire Spirit Pivot Formation Chart in his mind.
Mo Hua was completely absorbed in looking at it.
Lu Chengyun felt something was amiss and was just about to say something when.
Mo Hua suddenly clutched his small head, his expression pained as he muttered:
"My Divine Sense... it's depleted..."
Lu Chengyun was slightly startled and quickly put away the Spirit Pivot Formation Chart, asking,
"Little gentleman, are you alright?"
Mo Hua's face was pale, and he weakly replied, "I'm fine..."
He glanced at the Spirit Pivot Formation Chart and shook his head in shock, saying,
"I hadn't realized that such a Formation requires such an immense amount of Divine Sense; I only looked at it for a while, and my Divine Sense is almost exhausted..."
This was within Lu Chengyun's expectations.
He nodded slightly and said, "This Formation is called the Spiritual Pivot Formation, and it is indeed the Sect Protecting Faction formation of a hidden sect. The difficulty of this Formation is truly beyond imagination."
"It's really difficult..." Mo Hua looked dejected.
Lu Chengyun's mouth curved into a smile, but his tone was comforting as he said,
"This Formation's consumption of Divine Sense is great, and it cannot be learned without Foundation Establishment."
"Little gentleman, you are but at the stage of Qi Refinement, lacking sufficient Divine Sense, so it is normal that you cannot learn it or draw it. There is no need to be discouraged."
"The path of Tao Cultivation is long and the future is vast. As long as you continue to refine your Formation skills and enhance your Divine Sense, one day you will be able to comprehend this Formation."
Lu Chengyun was encouraging Mo Hua.
Inspired, Mo Hua's expression brightened, and he nodded firmly:
"Okay!"
Lu Chengyun then smiled and said, "It's getting late today, and the little gentleman's Divine Sense has been overly depleted, causing some discomfort. You can go back to rest for now. Once you've rested well, you can come back to continue working on the Formation eye..."
Mo Hua felt somewhat guilty, "I overestimated myself and delayed the Lu Family Head's major plans..."
"It doesn't matter," Lu Chengyun said, "the way of Formations is long-standing and far-reaching; one cannot rush success in a moment. A century-long plan will not be affected by a single day's work."
A century-long plan...
This Lu Chengyun, is he plotting for a century...
Mo Hua's thoughts shifted slightly, then he nodded, taking his leave,
"Then I will go back to rest for now."
Lu Chengyun nodded, "Good."
Mo Hua then covered his small head, pretending to have a headache, and left the secret chamber. His steps were unsteady as he walked out of the hall and returned to his stone room, collapsing onto his bed.
Lu Chengyun's Divine Sense followed Mo Hua.
Seeing that Mo Hua lay quietly and motionless, he withdrew his Divine Sense after a moment.
Once Lu Chengyun retracted his Divine Sense, Mo Hua immediately sat up, his small face flushed with excitement.
He rushed to the desk, took out paper and brush, and attempted to fully recreate the Spiritual Pivot Formation, from the Formation Patterns, Formation Pivot, to the Formation eye, and other alike heavy-weight Formations, just as he had memorized them...
...
Elsewhere, inside the mural of the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses, Zhang Quan frowned at Lu Chengyun and said,
"Brother Lu, wasn't that a bit abrupt?"
Lu Chengyun's eyebrows raised slightly, "What was abrupt?"
"The matter of the Spirit Pivot Formation..." Zhang Quan said, "Did you let him know too soon..."
Zhang Quan had always been wary of Mo Hua.
Of course, he also harbored thoughts of killing him.
Lu Chengyun said indifferently, "He would have found out sooner or later."
"But..." Zhang Quan was somewhat uneasy, "What if he learns it?"
Lu Chengyun scoffed coldly, "It is a First-grade Formation with twelve patterns."
Zhang Quan was taken aback, "So what?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Lu Chengyun's eyes.
Talking to Zhang Quan, who was "Formation Blind," was really like playing the lute to a cow.
Lu Chengyun patiently explained, "First-grade with twelve patterns, 'First-grade' is the Formation Grade, and 'twelve patterns' refers to the Divine Sense requirement."
"Meaning, this First-grade Formation requires the Divine Sense of twelve patterns to be learned."
"Above ten patterns is the Divine Sense Foundation Establishment."
