He tried several times, each time getting a little better.
After countless repetitions, Mo Hua found his Divine Sense was exhausted.
Divine Sense manifested Spiritual Power, without Divine Sense, there was no Spiritual Power, and thus, no ability to use spells.
Mo Hua sat and meditated, and after recovering his Divine Sense, he continued practicing.
After two days of relentless practice, foregoing sleep and food, Mo Hua finally succeeded in casting his first Fireball Technique.
The power was not great; it was just an Ordinary Fireball Technique.
But the significance was different.
He could finally use spells in his Sea of Consciousness!
If any sneaky or evil thoughts invaded his Sea of Consciousness again, he now had a basic means of attack.
Mo Hua's spirits lifted.
After that, he practiced the Water Prison Technique, the Water Passing Step, and the Concealment Technique.
The Water Passing Step was effective.
But as for the Concealment Technique, it was hard to say since in his Sea of Consciousness he could not tell if he was concealed or not; he would have to find an opportunity to test it.
After manifesting these spells, Mo Hua felt a great sense of security.
Now facing danger, he also had means to kill or slaughter.
Next, it was time to manifest Formation.
Mo Hua started with the relatively simple Seven-Pattern Earth Fire Formation.
He first consumed his Divine Sense to manifest Spiritual Power, then controlled the Spiritual Power, and little by little began Drawing Formation according to the shape of the Earth Fire Formation Patterns.
The pale blue Spiritual Power flowed naturally, meandering and twisting on the ground of his Sea of Consciousness, forming the Formation.
But just after Drawing three Formation Patterns, he made a mistake.
Mo Hua's Divine Sense faltered, and he failed to control the trajectory of the Spiritual Power, rendering the Formation useless.
"Controlling Spiritual Power with Divine Sense alone seems indeed to be challenging..." Mo Hua murmured, frowning.
He knew how to Draw Formation, but his Divine Sense just couldn't control the Spiritual Power well enough to make it flow and condense into a Formation according to his will.
Mo Hua tried several more times, making little progress.
And Drawing Formation like this was also very slow.
Mo Hua frowned.
This was not quite what Mr. Zhuang had said...
Had he missed something?
Mo Hua then linked the key points together and reviewed them.
Heaven Yan Jue, Spiritual Pivot Formation, Divine Sense Calculation...
Could it be the Spiritual Pivot Formation?
Mo Hua recalled what Mr. Zhuang had said:
"The core of the Spiritual Pivot Formation is control, but control is just the surface; analyzing the structure of Spiritual Power is the essence of the Spiritual Pivot Formation."
Controlling corpses and objects might just be superficial applications.
Its essence lies in understanding the structure of Spiritual Power.
Mo Hua stopped trying to control Spiritual Power with his Divine Sense to Draw Formation.
Instead, he calmed his mind and contemplated the Spiritual Pivot Formation, using his Divine Sense to penetrate the essence of Spiritual Power.
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Mo Hua's mind trembled, and his thoughts became clear.
He realized his Spiritual Power had changed.
The Spiritual Power manifested by his Divine Sense had become more meticulous, as thin as threads.
These Spiritual Threads were finer components under the structure of Spiritual Power.
And these Spiritual Threads seemed to echo and integrate with his Divine Sense, becoming one.
With the mind's intent, the Spiritual Power followed the Divine Sense, as naturally as moving one's arm, forming a flawless union.
Controlling the Spiritual Threads with Divine Sense was as natural as breathing.
Mo Hua was astonished.
He only now realized the fundamental principles of Spiritual Power contained within the Spiritual Pivot Formation were so exquisite.
He had learned the Spiritual Pivot Formation before and even applied the Formation but never deeply grasped the profundity within it.
It was worthy of the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect...
No, or perhaps it should be said, the secret heritage of the once Great Hidden Spirit Sect...
To use such a Formation merely for corpse control was a waste of its true potential.
