Chapter 60 Heaven Yan Jue_1
Translator: 549690339
Mo Hua read the explanation of the Cultivation Technique again, where only a few sentences stated that the technique was not limited by the grade or attribute of the Spiritual Root, but the Cycles of the cultivated Spiritual Power were somewhat low. The bottleneck lay in the Divine Sense, unsuitable for those who were not Formation Masters to cultivate.
Though it did not specify which Spiritual Objects were needed, these descriptions gave off an odd feeling.
How could there be a Cultivation Technique that did not limit Spiritual Roots?
The fact that the cultivated Spiritual Power was weak could be understood; after all, it did not restrict the Spiritual Roots, which meant that even those with inferior roots could practice it, and naturally, the cultivated Spiritual Power would not be profound.
But what did it mean that the bottleneck was in the Divine Sense? And why was it not suitable for those who were not Formation Masters to practice?
As Mo Hua frowned in contemplation, he lost track of time until Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes, “Have you chosen?”
Only then did Mo Hua snap back to reality, “Disciple has chosen, but I’m not sure which one is more appropriate.”
“Let me have a look.”
Mo Hua respectfully handed over the Cultivation Techniques he had selected to Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang looked at them one by one, his expression calm and unchanging, yet he felt somewhat displeased inside.
The Cultivation Techniques Mo Hua had chosen were all selected by Old Kui. The ones Mr. Zhuang had picked out himself were not chosen at all by Mo Hua. This made Mr. Zhuang feel quite embarrassed.
It was not until he flipped to the last Jade Slip that Mr. Zhuang’s eyes lit up.
On the ancient pale Jade Slip, three characters were etched: “Tianyan Jue.”
This was one of the unique Cultivation Techniques chosen by Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang was very satisfied, feeling that Mo Hua, the child, still had good judgment; he was indeed teachable.
Seeing Mr. Zhuang’s gaze fixed on “Tianyan Jue,” Mo Hua asked the question he was most concerned about:
“Gentleman, the practice essentials of ‘Tianyan Jue’ do not list the required Spiritual Objects. Does that mean it can be cultivated without the need for any Heaven and Earth spiritual items?”
“I see...”
Mo Hua pondered, and then made up his mind.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang asked, “Have you decided which cultivation technique you want to practice?”
“I have,” Mo Hua nodded, “Gentleman, I want to cultivate the ‘Tianyan Jue’.”
Mr. Zhuang felt a sense of relief, thinking that this child Mo Hua really did share a connection with him, not like Old Kui, whose taste in choosing cultivation techniques was so vulgar.
Just as Mr. Zhuang was about to hand over the Jade Slip of ‘Tianyan Jue’ to Mo Hua, he suddenly hesitated, then after a moment’s sigh, asked earnestly, “Mo Hua, are you really sure?”
Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang with a hint of confusion.
“This technique is easy to practice, but too unpredictable when it comes to breakthroughs, and the Spiritual Power it cultivates is weak, leaving one at a disadvantage whether in cultivation or in combat.”
Reluctant as he was, Mr. Zhuang still pointed to the other techniques “left over” for Mo Hua and said:
“Although these techniques may not be extraordinary, they are stable and practical, with a fair amount of Circulating Spiritual Power. Some Spiritual Objects, even if somewhat troublesome, are not considered valuable, and there are always ways to procure them.”
Yet, Mo Hua firmly replied, “I have decided, Gentleman. My Spiritual Roots are mediocre, and it’s not easy for me to compare with others. I just hope to make some progress in formations, to not let down your teachings. Since I want to become a Formation Master, Divine Sense is naturally the most important, and the quantity of Spiritual Power doesn’t matter as much.”
“A Formation Master’s bottleneck lies in Divine Sense, and so does the ‘Tianyan Jue’. For me, it’s all the same; as long as I focus on studying formations and strengthening my Divine Sense, that’s good enough. The path of Tao Cultivation is never smooth anyway; success is decreed by fate, all we can do is give our utmost effort.”
Mr. Zhuang was slightly taken aback, but then nodded in agreement, “You are right; it is rare to see such a strong Taoist Heart in someone so young.”
Mo Hua couldn’t accept such praise, saying somewhat embarrassedly, “Gentleman, it’s not really that my Taoist Heart is strong...”
Mr. Zhuang was taken aback.
“It’s mainly because I can’t afford to cultivate the other techniques. This technique doesn’t require Spiritual Objects, so I had no choice but to choose it...”
Mr. Zhuang: “...”
Mo Hua felt helpless as well.
While problems with Divine Sense could possibly be resolved, those “some Spiritual Objects,” each costing thousands of Spirit Stones, were simply out of reach for a Loose Cultivator like Mo Hua.
When one’s poor, their Taoist Heart naturally becomes strong; if it didn’t, there would be no other option.
