The ink painting was praised by Dugu Patriarch, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

He is still self-aware of his talent in swordsmanship.

Ancestor Dugu said indifferently: "If I read it correctly, you have already learned the Sword Transformation Style, right?"

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart. He quietly raised his head and glanced at Patriarch Dugu. He saw that his expression was as unfathomable as a withered tomb. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and he was a little uneasy.

But he didn't dare to hide it, and whispered: "I have learned a little bit..."

"How did you learn it?" Patriarch Dugu asked.

"Senior Xuan's broken sword has some cause and effect. I accidentally sensed it and understood a little bit..." Mo Hua said.

Ancestor Dugu's eyelids twitched.

cause and effect?

Only when you are in the foundation level can you perceive cause and effect?

"Is there only the Sword Transformation Style?" Patriarch Dugu asked again.

Mo Hua said truthfully: "I also learned a little bit about Jingshen Sword..."

Ancestor Dugu remained calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

He could see in Mo Hua's body that there were vague signs that he had learned how to transform spiritual thoughts into swords, but he didn't expect that this was how he learned it...

Perceive cause and effect, retrace sword techniques, and learn how to transform your mind into a sword?

Is this a method that a foundation-building monk should have?

Ancestor Dugu frowned, "Have you ever learned the secret of cause and effect?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Only occasionally, I can feel a little bit of cause and effect..."

He's not lying either.

It is true that he has never learned the orthodox divine cause and effect technique.

What he has learned is the calculations of heaven's secrets and the calculations of heaven's secrets.

These two are spiritual algorithms and should be classified as the formation path, or the method of spiritual thought.

Ancestor Dugu nodded slightly, secretly surprised in his heart.

I have never learned the art of Heavenly Secret Cause and Effect, but I can occasionally perceive cause and effect. It must be because my spiritual consciousness is too strong and my knowledge of formations is profound.

Patriarch Dugu asked again: "You won the first place in the discussion formation?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

This is not worth hiding, the entire Taixu Sect knows it.

Ancestor Dugu didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he sighed in his heart:

"I made a mistake again..."

People cannot be judged by their appearance.

This child is so young, but for some reason, he has incredible attainments in formations and a strange talent.

But it’s just right…

Ancestor Dugu's eyes were slightly bright, revealing a hint of longing.

"Perhaps, there is really hope..."

Mo Hua secretly looked at Ancestor Dugu, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if the ancestor was angry with him.

He didn't mean to hide it.

The main reason is that he has too many secrets that can affect the whole body, so it is best not to tell them if possible.

Ancestor Dugu silently glanced at Mo Hua for a few times, but did not ask any questions. After a moment, he slowly said:

"I'll teach you sword skills."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but asked doubtfully: "Ancestor, haven't you been teaching me sword techniques?"

"It's different this time." Ancestor Dugu said solemnly, "Ordinary sword cultivation requires learning from the shallower to the deeper, from sword moves, to sword energy, to sword intention, and then to spiritual thought to transform the sword."

"You don't have to learn like this. Learning some shallow sword moves that you are not good at will waste your time and slow down your progress..."

"You should learn from a different angle."

Mo Hua was startled, "Change the angle?"

Ancestor Dugu nodded, "From the formation path to the sword path!"

"From the formation path to the sword path..." Mo Hua was shocked, and then asked in a low voice: "Ancestor, are you also a fifth-grade formation master?"

Ancestor Dugu shook his head, "I haven't studied much about formations, but when my cultivation reaches my level, my understanding of Taoism is often not limited to one pattern. What I seek is the unity of all things and the principle of returning to nature..."

"Of course, I have devoted all my heart and soul to the way of swordsmanship. The formations are only for thinking and drawing parallels. I am not good at it."

"So, I can only give you some inspiration."

"I can only tell you roughly what Sword Dao is and what Formation Dao is, but you still have to figure out how to do it and how to integrate it..."

Mo Hua looked solemn, bowed, and solemnly said: "Thank you, ancestor, for your advice."

Listening to Dongxu's sermon is a great blessing.

This is Patriarch Dongxu’s understanding of “Tao” and his understanding of the great road in the world. If you can really understand it, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future practice.

Mo Hua knows it well.

When Patriarch Dugu understood the ink painting, he nodded slightly, and then solemnly said:

"There are thousands of great roads in this world, but they all lead to the same destination."

"Formation techniques, sword techniques, alchemy techniques, talisman techniques, weapon refining techniques, spells and martial arts methods...all these are the derivation methods of the Great Dao."

"Among these, the formation is the most important, because the formation itself reflects astronomy and geography, imitates the heraldry of all things, and is closer to the presentation of the rules of the great avenue."

"But this does not mean that if you take other paths, you will not be able to understand the Tao."

"When you practice to a certain extent, you will find that although everything in the world has thousands of appearances, at its root, it is the manifestation of the Great Dao."

"It's just that monks have a limited life span, so they can only choose one or two Dharma doors that are derived from the Great Way, and delve into the depths. Using the Dharma as a raft, they can explore the Great Way."

"Now that you have the great road, you can do anything without a raft. Everything can follow your heart, without any restraint. With the great road in your heart, you can change the world. This is called... an immortal!"

The ink painting looks shocked.

With the great road in your heart, you can change the world and change the world, which is called an immortal...

He remembered every word and every word in his heart.

Patriarch Dugu discussed Tao for a while, then turned his head and continued talking about the Tao of Formation and Sword Dao. He first asked Mo Hua:

"What is sword energy?"

Mo Hua pondered: "The killing power of the sword?"

Ancestor Dugu was not very satisfied and said, "Think again."

Mo Hua frowned slightly, recalling the teachings given by Patriarch Dugu just now, and said slowly:

"All things have animism, heaven and earth are one, and aura is the root of all things..."

"The road leads to the same goal through different paths. The sword energy itself is not actually a 'sword', but is just a form of spiritual power, only presented in the form of a 'sword'?"

Ancestor Dugu raised his eyebrows and motioned for Mo Hua to continue.

Mo Hua said: "...Swordsmanship, formations, spells, and martial arts are all a type of Tao."

"Spiritual power condenses into spells, which are spells; spiritual power forms formations, which are formations; spiritual power is driven by blood and turns into the power of fists and feet; naturally, spiritual power is composed of sword techniques and spiritual power.

When the sword is activated, it turns into sword energy..."

"The form of power changes, but the power itself remains unchanged."

The ink paintings are clear in ideas and eloquent.

Ancestor Dugu looked surprised.

Now he finally understood why his junior brother, who had always been rigid, praised this child like a flower for the first time.

This understanding is truly astonishing.

The swordsmanship may be a bit dull, but this is a problem of a lack of foundation.

Once it comes to the realm of spiritual consciousness, areas he is familiar with, and even the understanding of "Tao", this child's understanding is so smart that he doesn't look like a human being...

Ancestor Dugu asked again: "How does spiritual power constitute magic?"

"Through the meridians, the spells are formed, and the spells are condensed..." Mo Hua replied.

But after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment.

Ancestor would not ask such a simple question.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and said slowly:
To be continued...
