"Instructor Yan, what exactly is the Spirit Pivot Formation?"
Mo Hua couldn’t help but ask.
Just as Instructor Yan was about to answer, he suddenly paused, "How do you know about the Spirit Pivot Formation?"
Instructor Yan was somewhat surprised.
The Spirit Pivot Formation Chart was supposed to be the ultimate technique of the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect. How did Mo Hua come to know of it?
"Manager Mo told me!"
Mo Hua immediately sold out Manager Mo.
Instructor Yan’s mouth twitched.
He made a mental note of Manager Mo’s indiscretion.
This plump junior brother was so loose-lipped, he actually spilled such important information to Mo Hua.
"Instructor Yan, can you tell me?"
Mo Hua’s face was filled with anticipation, her big eyes twinkling.
Instructor Yan didn’t want to speak, but looking into Mo Hua’s eyes, he couldn’t refuse. He hesitated for a moment and then heaved a deep sigh.
The Minor Hidden Spirit Sect had already perished; keeping these things secret was meaningless now.
"Alright," Instructor Yan nodded as he looked at Mo Hua and began to speak about the origins of the Spirit Pivot Formation:
"When I was studying in the Sect, I was highly regarded by my master. Through casual conversations, I also heard some stories and secrets of the past..."
"The legacy of the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect was inherited from the ancient Great Hidden Spirit Sect."
"Most of the legacies within the Sect are incomplete remnants from the predecessors, so it’s not rare to have only bits and pieces of them..."
"Only this Spirit Pivot Formation, it’s extremely profound and exceptionally difficult to grasp. It’s truly a Formation that could be used as a Sect-protecting technique."
"However, this Spirit Pivot Formation is too mysterious, too difficult to comprehend. For hundreds of years, not a single cultivator of the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect has been able to penetrate the mysteries of this Formation."
Instructor Yan sighed, "First-grade Formations end at nine patterns, but this Spirit Pivot Formation actually has twelve..."
"Twelve patterns in Divine Sense, ah, only achievable by Foundation Establishment, and impossible without being a Second Rank Formation Master!"
Mo Hua, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement with twelve patterns in her Divine Sense, silently didn’t speak.
After thinking for a while, Mo Hua asked again:
"Did the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect ever have a Second Rank Formation Master?"
"Yes," Instructor Yan nodded, "Two hundred years ago, there was an Ancestral Master, at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage, who had attained the proficiency of Second Grade Initial Stage in Formation methods."
"Did he not learn the Spirit Pivot Formation either?"
Instructor Yan shook his head with regret: "No."
Mo Hua frowned slightly, confused:
"A Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator should have around fourteen patterns in their Divine Sense, right? With that, he still wasn’t able to learn the Spirit Pivot Formation? Is it so hard to learn?"
"It’s not that simple..."
Instructor Yan organized his thoughts, explaining to Mo Hua:
"For a Formation Master, Divine Sense is a threshold, a reliance, but that’s all it is."
"Without enough Divine Sense, one cannot learn a Formation."
"With Divine Sense, you only have the qualification to learn a Formation, but that doesn’t mean you can certainly master it."
"You have to study more, practice more, think more, and comprehend more..."
"If you’re not diligent, no matter how good your natural gift for Divine Sense, you’ll just be squandering time, wasting your talent, unable to become an extraordinary Formation Master."
Mo Hua nodded.
Mr. Zhuang had taught her the same.
Instructor Yan’s gaze became intense as he continued with a sigh:
"And the Spirit Pivot Formation is a type that, even if one’s Divine Sense is sufficient, is extremely hard to comprehend..."
Mo Hua said, "Is it because it involves understanding the Heavenly Dao and the origin of Spiritual Power?"
Instructor Yan looked surprised and nodded:
"Correct."
Then, he became reflective:
"Mr. Zhuang truly is a remarkable man. Mo Hua, at such a young age, you already know about these deep levels of understanding in Formation techniques."
It seems that his choice back then was not wrong; otherwise, he would have really wasted such a talented Formation sapling.
Mo Hua then asked, "So that Second Rank Ancestral Master of the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect, did he fail to learn the Spirit Pivot Formation because he couldn’t grasp the Great Dao origin of the Formation?"
Instructor Yan nodded with a bitter expression:
"Yes, the Ancestral Master probably knew what the origin of the Spirit Pivot Formation was, but he just couldn’t comprehend it, much less draw out the Formation..."
