"Mhm, mhm." Mo Hua nodded vigorously.
Mr. Zhuang continued, "Secondly, once you learn Divine Sense Calculation, by merely sensing the flow of Spiritual Power within a Formation with your Divine Sense, you can deduce its Formation Patterns."
"Some Formations are deeply hidden, and you cannot discern their intricacies. Those Formations whose intricacies you cannot see are the most dangerous."
"If you ever travel abroad and accidentally trigger someone else’s Formation, being unable to see the Formation Patterns and guess the type of Formation, you would essentially have no choice but to sit and wait for death."
"If you guess wrongly, mistaking a Killing Formation for an Illusion Array, the consequences would be equally severe."
Mo Hua suddenly realized, "So, learning to calculate, relying solely on the flow of Spiritual Power in the Formation, will allow one to see through any Formation, making it impossible for other Formation Masters to deal with you!"
Mr. Zhuang gave a nod.
Mo Hua’s eyes shone as he whispered, "Does that mean I could also sneakily learn other people’s Formations?"
If one could deduce the Formation Patterns simply from the Spiritual Power in the Formation, there would be no need for a Formation Diagram, and one could learn the Formation independently.
In the future, if targeted by another Formation Master, one could even directly learn and use his Formation against him.
"Your Formation is powerful, but after a few glances, it becomes mine."
Mo Hua could already imagine the domineering air he would exude when uttering these words in the future.
However, Mr. Zhuang shook his head.
Mo Hua was sorely disappointed and asked regretfully, "Can’t I learn it secretly?"
"You can learn it, but it should not be termed ’learning secretly.’"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said with righteous indignation, "If it’s acquired through one’s own abilities and learned openly and aboveboard, how can it be considered ’learning secretly’?"
Mo Hua was momentarily stunned, then also laughed, "The gentleman is right!"
"The final use of Divine Sense Calculation, as I told you before, is to reverse-engineer the Spiritual Power through the Reversed Spirit Formation, causing the Formation Collapse, which unleashes destructive power that can only be described as terrifying."
Mr. Zhuang’s gaze grew intense, and his tone became weightier.
Mo Hua was shocked and curious, "How powerful could it be?"
"It depends on the Formation’s complexity. Ordinary Single Formations are not worth collapsing because their composition of Spiritual Power is too weak; common Compound Formations also do not need collapsing because their Formation Pivot structure is simple; only the more complex Compound Formations necessitate a collapse."
"Based on this, the more complex the Formation and the stronger the Spiritual Power, the more formidable the power unleashed upon collapse."
Mo Hua’s spirits lifted, "Can it overcome cultivators of a higher level? Could the collapse of a first-class Compound Formation kill a Foundation Building Cultivator?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes."
Mo Hua became excited, "Then I..."
"No."
Mo Hua felt an indescribable mix of emotions, "Gentleman, I haven’t said anything yet..."
Mr. Zhuang couldn’t help but laugh, "I know what you were thinking without you saying it. You want to collapse a Compound Formation and harm a few Foundation Builders, right?"
Mo Hua gave an embarrassed smile, "Can’t I?"
"It’s not possible."
Seeing the puzzled look on Mo Hua’s face, Mr. Zhuang said plainly,
"Your Divine Sense is not strong enough."
Mo Hua was somewhat shocked, "Even the Divine Sense of a Foundation Builder is not sufficient?"
"No." Mr. Zhuang nodded, "The reason so few Formation Masters learn Divine Sense Calculation is the sheer amount of Divine Sense consumed during Calculation, which is incredibly high."
"I’m teaching you now because your Divine Sense has just barely reached the threshold for Foundation Establishment. But with your current Divine Sense, at most you could calculate simple first-class Compound Formations. The destructive power of such a collapse might injure Foundation Building Cultivators but would not be lethal."
The Divine Sense of a Foundation Builder, barely reaching the threshold...
Mo Hua felt a tinge of disappointment.
Mr. Zhuang said softly, "I’m teaching you Divine Sense Calculation not to have you collapse Formations, but to help you see through the essence of Formations, to better grasp them. This way, you won’t endanger your life by falling into another Formation Master’s Formation, unable to see through its intricacies..."
Mo Hua was taken aback, then warmth filled his heart, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"
