Chapter 543 Bottleneck

 The great elder called Headmaster Liao.

Headmaster Liao stared at the shrine for a long time, and then said in confusion:

"It seems...there is indeed a missing door..."

 The two of them frowned, both puzzled.

This shrine was passed down from the ancestors of the Five Elements. It is a spiritual dojo, and it contains the inheritance of the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

Master Liao said it sincerely, but he was very nervous in his heart.

It’s just that whether it’s a creek or a river, there is only a drop in the bucket in front of the threshold between the thirteenth and fourteenth lines.

Mr. Zhuang glanced at the ink painting and sighed silently.

"This is "ritual" first. If they don't agree, we will then "soldier"..."

He drew the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the spiritual formations one by one over and over again.

“Since we have some friendship with our ancestors, it is reasonable to be a guest and exchange formations...”

“The contents inside seemed to have been emptied out by someone unknown..."

Mr. Zhuang was startled and couldn't help but point Mo Hua's forehead:

“As for the specific amount, it depends on the fate...”

"Senior Zhuang and the old man may have extraordinary cultivation, but his few disciples can only refine Qi. In these days, they have also fought against my Five Elements Sect disciples. They are better than Qi Refining, even comparable to Foundation Building, but It’s only in the early stages of foundation building, and we can’t break out of the hands of our Five Elements Sect…”

And the plan can’t keep up with the changes, so there’s not much time left…

 It cannot be said that the human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.

"Okay!" The great elder nodded, "Go and make preparations now. Be sure to keep them in our Five Elements Sect!"

 But now that we are about to build the foundation, we need to spend more time and more spiritual stones. We must use both time and spiritual stones on the "blade".

 The formation science declined and the formation masters were lost.

 When practicing daily, pay attention to neither slowness nor slowness, and let a drop of water penetrate a stone.

Mr. Zhuang said solemnly: "If you build the foundation with the peak of the thirteen lines of spiritual consciousness, it stands to reason that you will break through the obstacles, double the spiritual consciousness, and reach the middle stage of foundation building, between the fourteenth and sixteenth lines."

This is exactly what he is worried about...

"Don't you need to go to the fourteenth line?" Mo Hua said weakly.

  Night has arrived, and outside the Zangzhen Pavilion, there is a splendid array of carved beams and painted buildings.

Mr. Zhuang was noncommittal.

“Furthermore, your situation is quite special. Your spiritual consciousness is already very strong now, so when you break through the realm, your spiritual consciousness will increase greatly, but it may not double.”

 If there are no restrictions, your child's consciousness will really be "lawless"...

“Will your spiritual awareness be enhanced if you draw the Five Elements Spirit Formation?” Mr. Zhuang asked.

Leader Liao said in surprise: "The inheritance of the Five Elements Spiritual Array..."

 There are no people, no formations, only empty shells, what’s the use?

 But now, the door of the shrine is broken down and the little ghost is missing...

 “We treated him warmly, wouldn’t it be better if he stayed?”

But honestly speaking, Qi Refining has the peak consciousness of the Thirteen Lines. Even in his knowledge, it is extremely rare and even considered the limit...

 It’s really difficult to go up further.

The man named Zhuang is unpredictable, and his few disciples are even more amazing and talented. If the master and apprentice steal the inheritance of his Five Elements Sect, there will be endless troubles.

Headmaster Liao smiled contemptuously, and then twirled his jade ring finger.

 Finally, one month later.

He was not sure of Mr. Zhuang's intentions and couldn't guess Mr. Zhuang's thoughts. He was looking at Mr. Zhuang's deep eyes and felt like a gleam on his back, making him sweat coldly.

But it’s not a loss…

Over the years, I have also tilted a lot of benefits from it, squeezed the value of these rotten wood and withered beams, and made a lot of money.

"Even if we have to activate the big formation and fight each other, we don't have to kill each other to death. As long as he hands over the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect, even if he only hands over half, it is better than losing it all and falling into the hands of others... "

 Man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

Mo Hua nodded as if he understood.

Headmaster Liao continued: "The shrine is damaged and the inheritance is lost. Mr. Zhuang's disciples are the most suspicious, so..."

 “Because the further the spiritual consciousness reaches the back, the slower it grows and the more difficult it is to grow.”

Headmaster Liao approached the great elder and lowered his voice:

 “We have to find a way to keep them here first!”

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Master, the spiritual consciousness has doubled, why is it not twenty-six patterns?"

 He still looked calm and without any scheming, and said sincerely:

"Junior has admired Senior Zhuang for a long time. I have made many accusations before and made things difficult for him. Please forgive me..."

The Five Elements Spirit Formation?

If it was the Five Elements Spiritual Formation, they couldn't reason, because this is what they should learn, and they learned it in an upright manner.

 The great elder remained silent.

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and sighed:

“I won’t force it. Although the Fourteenth Pattern is good, it is indeed too difficult…”

Headmaster Liao said again:

“…Now that the inheritance has been carried out, and it coincides with the meeting, I would like to ask my seniors to stay as guests in the Five Elements Sect for a longer period of time, so that I can enjoy my friendship as a landlord.”

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng knew that Mo Hua was going to build a foundation, but they didn't bother him. At the same time, they silently protected their junior brother in case he went wrong in his cultivation or was disturbed by others.

"All right…"

 He raised his eyes again, looked at the shrine, frowned and said:

“Over the past hundreds of years, I have always felt that there is a special meaning in this shrine... It seems that there is some special inheritance hidden in it..."

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes bright.

Today's shrine is an empty shell, like an empty tower, empty and deserted.

Chief Liao was very sensible, so he bowed his hands and said:

　　"Then I won't disturb my seniors from doing their meditation. I'll take my leave."

“Can you break through the fourteen lines?”

 What else could it be?

"What should I do?" The great elder's eyes darkened, "What do you mean..."

 Who do you think you are keeping?

How can the man named Zhuang be easy to get along with?

What's more, the wooden old man next to him has an unfathomable cultivation level.

“Great Elder, could it be Mr. Zhuang and the others who stole the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect?”

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and without saying anything else, he took a cup of tea.

 The spiritual stones are consumed one by one, and the spiritual power is also increasing little by little.

“Between the two scales, the amount of spiritual consciousness may be very different.”

Headmaster Liao snorted coldly. Although I am a member of the Five Elements Sect, it is just an identity. Changing the family is no big deal.

 “Inheritance is a piece of shit!”

 “What are you thinking about? The growth of spiritual consciousness is not a simple addition or subtraction.”

“Isn’t it bad to break up like this?”

Leader Liao had other ideas and asked, "What are you going to do?"

“There are always limits to the checks and balances of heaven, and there are always many restrictions…”

Mo Hua was startled, "Is it right here?"

Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Okay."

It's like diverting water into a ravine. The water is not small, but the ravine is unfathomable and cannot be filled...

 In the next month, Mo Hua concentrated on practicing and constantly absorbing spiritual stones.

 Two days later, Head Liao visited Mr. Zhuang.

Leader Liao nodded and suggested:

“Start with the Five Elements Sect, then the missing kid, and then Mr. Zhuang and the others…”

 But before I leave, this Five Elements Sect has one last use...

 “Okay, let’s concentrate on practicing...”

 The great elder was shocked and his brows tightened.

“We must keep them until we find out!”

 “The seniors are willing to show appreciation, and the juniors are grateful.”

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head, "It feels very difficult..."

Mr. Zhuang said: "This is not necessarily true. There is a big difference in spiritual consciousness between the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building, but it will not be twice as much."

Although this leader has a lower level and a smaller structure, he still has some sense of proportion and can come up with some means when encountering problems.

 From top to bottom, he is jealous and hateful of himself. Not to mention hostile, at least he has a bad attitude.

Headmaster Liao had a panoramic view of the entire Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth.

The great elder shook his head and sighed:

Leader Liao nodded, "Once the formation is activated, there is no need to worry about being able to keep them!"

 “If it still doesn’t work…”

 Headmaster Liao raised his eyebrows, "You know."

 “They might just stay.”

"check…"

 “Is inheritance a big deal?”

 Inheritance is a big deal!

  194.50.122.76

 “It would be nice for us to have an explanation for the ancestors of the sect...”

His consciousness is indeed slowly growing, and the rate of growth is quite impressive. It is much stronger than before.

“No matter how strong their cultivation is, they dare not transcend the limitations of heaven. They will inevitably be trapped in this formation!”

Headmaster Liao looked overjoyed and said yes.

Mo Hua cultivates without any distractions and prepares for building a foundation.

"Yes, but not much..." Mo Hua said matter-of-factly.

Although he was a little regretful that he could not reach the fourteenth line, he was still very happy as he was about to build the foundation.

Headmaster Liao left the Tibetan Formation Pavilion alone.

 The great elder was thoughtful.

 I paint during the day and also paint on Taoist monuments at night.

Headmaster Liao pointed to the sky and said solemnly: "We still have...the Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation!"

Mo Hua smiled and then asked curiously:

“Master, is there a double difference between the spiritual consciousness in the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building?”

The requirements of the Five Elements Spiritual Formation are thirteen lines, but because it requires "spiritual consciousness to transform into Tao", a part of the spiritual consciousness must be separated, integrated into the formation, and unified with the spiritual power.

“The difference between the nine Qi-refining lines and the ten foundation-building lines is double.”

Headmaster Liao walked out of the Zangzhen Pavilion, looked back, and couldn't help but sneered.

 “How can there be such a good thing...”

Persist every day and practice with it.

In addition to the Five Elements Spirit, the Five Elements are inherited by the Five Elements?

Even the Five Elements Spiritual Formation is in name only. No one can learn it, and no one can learn it at all...

“Yes, all this is for the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect!”

Mr. Zhuang said gently: "Your spiritual roots... are not very good. No matter how much you cultivate your spiritual power, it will only be like that. So there are not so many requirements. You don't have to polish your realm. You don't need to have a solid foundation. If you can break through, break through. As long as you can build a foundation, you can break through." good…"

 The great elder said worriedly.

 These days, whenever he has free time, he will draw the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

 The great elder's heart trembled.

 Even if there is a risk, you have to take it.

　　Although the tone is very gentle, these words are still a bit heart-wrenching.

Even if he learned formations, he only learned them at Zishi's Taoist Monument. During the day, he basically spent his time meditating and refining spirit stones.

 He felt that his whole body felt a little lighter, and he couldn't help but smile:

 This is the secret of the Five Elements Sect back then.

The Great Elder frowned in thought. He felt that what Master Liao said made sense, but he still didn't have much confidence in his heart.

 And the Lingshu Formation only has twelve lines.

A flash of light flashed in Master Liao’s eyes, and he whispered:

Headmaster Liao was anxiously waiting for Mr. Zhuang's reply.

Then the spiritual consciousness enhanced by drawing the Five Elements Spirit Array is a small river.

Especially at the mountain gate of the Five Elements Sect and within the mountain-protecting formation, facing each other **** for tat with Mr. Zhuang.

 The great elder was shocked: "We want to launch a big formation?!"

Headmaster Liao looked at the great elder and said in a sincere tone: "Inheritance is a big deal!"

 Because he doesn’t know either.

"Um!"

 The mess is someone else’s.

Mr. Zhuang wanted to say "very strong", but he hesitated and still didn't want to make Mo Hua proud.

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Isn't it a little faster..."

 Taoism requires letting nature take its own course and not forcing it.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, and then he ordered:

The current Five Elements Sect has only a superficial appearance, just like the shrine, which is just an empty shell with gold and jade on the outside.

 The great elder hesitated.

Leader Liao took a step back and said softly:

“Great Elder, we don’t have to break up with Mr. Zhuang...”

The great elder sneered when he heard this, "It's so easy to uncover..."

Leader Liao was surprised and said, "Great Elder, what other inheritance does our Five Elements Sect have?"

 The key is, what exactly is this inheritance?

“Now that things have happened, what inheritance does the Five Elements Sect still have?”

Mo Hua nodded, and then said: "Master, what about my spiritual consciousness? Is it enough?"

 After his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi refining, it only took a few months. His Qi sea was not yet stable, his foundation was not yet solid, and his cultivation was not yet solid...

 But what if it’s not just the Five Elements Spirit Array?

"Leave…"

 The spiritual awareness enhanced by the Hua Ling Shu Formation, if it is a stream.

 …

“Twenty-six lines, that’s already a golden elixir…”

 The Five Elements Sect is not a good place.

 Revitalizing the sect is just a joke.

“You have to practice diligently these days and build the foundation of the Five Elements Sect.”

After Master Liao left, Mr. Zhuang called Mo Hua over, thought for a moment, and then ordered:

Mr. Zhuang said firmly: "No problem, just build the foundation here!"

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, just use the peak of the thirteen lines to build the foundation..."

 The Great Elder looked at Master Liao again and nodded secretly.

"I don't know either…"

In order to prevent the formation from being lost, hundreds of years ago, the old head of the Five Elements Sect specially detained a little ghost and put it in a shrine as an offering, letting it play tricks on others and confuse outsiders to prevent the core inheritance of the Five Elements Sect from being exposed...

Mr. Zhuang took a sip of tea and continued to explain the ink painting:

“If there really are other inheritances in this shrine, it must be a big deal. We must find out!”

After the two people had finished their discussion, the elder was still in front of the shrine, thinking deeply and worrying at the same time.

It feels like it’s still too early to build the foundation now.

"But now, the shrine is missing a door, and this meaning has suddenly disappeared..."

 The shrine was made by the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect and is infinitely mysterious.

"As long as we restrain the young disciple, no, even if we restrain any of the disciples and threaten Mr. Zhuang, we are not afraid that he will not give in."

“It is estimated that in less than a month, the cultivation level will be almost the same. Try to break through the realm to see what the bottleneck of Tianyan Jue is, and then find a way to break through the bottleneck and build the foundation of the Tao!”

“If the inheritance is in their hands, we will find a way to take it back; if it is not in their hands, we will apologize and make amends, and then we will remove it..."

 What did the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect leave for themselves?

 The practice of ink painting was also relatively smooth.

Headmaster Liao shook his head and sneered in his heart.

 “The number of lines is just a scale.”

 He still doesn’t dare to be an enemy of Mr. Zhuang.

 There are no fourteen lines, so forget it...

 So the actual consumption of spiritual consciousness is more than the thirteen lines.

However, it is naturally difficult for him to say these words.

 The great elder was confused.

 “Great Elder…”

Who on earth has the ability to force open the door of the shrine?

How is it done?

Are the people who broke down the door the three disciples of Mr. Zhuang, or the little devil inside?

 Headmaster Liao also knows about the little ghost.

“The one named Zhuang seems to be indifferent, but he is obviously more concerned about these disciples, especially the young disciple named Mo. He is very fond of him.”

 Headmaster Liao knew what the elder was worried about, so he said:

 “Let’s pay homage first and then attack. First we invite them to stay in our Five Elements Sect and stay a little longer.”

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting again and said with a gentle smile:

 The spiritual stone belongs to you!

 As for the Five Elements Sect…

This "ok" made Master Liao feel relieved.

 It’s not just the Five Elements Spirit Formation…

Mo Hua’s mind was sharp and he discovered another problem:

“Then why did I break through the foundation building and double my spiritual consciousness, but I can only reach the middle stage of the foundation building?”

 The cultivation of ink painting has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.

At the same time, he also hit the bottleneck of foundation building...
