Chapter 293: The Test of the Spiritual Master
Mo Qingkuang suddenly realized what he had heard and immediately took out the jade slip from the Xumi Ring.
Countless white translucent bubbles floating in the sky rushed into the jade slip like a swallow and disappeared.
In a short while, the bubbles on the first layer were gone.
Mo Qingkuang explored the jade slip with his mental power and found that the information about the first-grade spiritual array recorded in the jade slip was indeed much more. It was the bubbles in the first book that were formed.
He was overjoyed. With this jade slip, Mo Qingkuang's inner entanglement was solved. He didn't need to learn it here. I want it all!
In the future, as long as this jade slip is in hand, he can learn it slowly anytime and anywhere.
After absorbing the first layer of the array drawings, Mo Qingkuang held the jade slip and walked to the second layer.
Then the third layer, the fourth layer... The bubbles on the drawings became fewer and fewer, and the grades became higher and higher. Mo Qingkuang's heart became more and more excited.
As he climbed higher and higher, it meant that he was getting closer and closer to the method of setting up the array across levels.
Finally, he stepped onto the jade steps of the ninth floor. The jade slip in Mo Qingkuang's hand recorded tens of thousands of formations.
Unlike the other eight floors, which were full of bubbles of formation drawings, there was no formation of the ninth-grade spiritual formation that Mo Qingkuang imagined in the ninth floor.
Ninth-grade formations were not that cheap, but there were nearly ten formations originally recorded in the jade slip, so it was not unacceptable that there were none here.
You know, there are no more than twenty ninth-grade formations circulating in the entire formation master world of Tianhan Continent.
There was only a sculpture standing in the center of the ninth floor.
It was a sculpture made of white jade, with tied hair, long beard, and long robes. It was an image of an old man with a very powerful aura.
The eyes were replaced by deep sapphires. Mo Qingkuang was deeply immersed in it at a glance.
When he reached the ninth floor, the jade slip in Mo Qingkuang's hand began to heat up, so hot that he couldn't help but let go of the jade slip in his hand.
The jade slip that broke free from his hand slowly floated into the air, and a strong light was projected, one beam and two beams, respectively, into the two sapphires of the sculpture.
The process lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the light on the jade slip stopped.
Then, the sapphire eyes of the statue began to emit a faint blue light, which was reflected on the jade slip.
The jade slip was as smooth as a mirror, but it was not transparent. I don’t know what kind of pattern was inside, but it actually reflected the parallel light downward.
Then Mo Qingkuang was shocked to find that in the beam of light reflected from the jade slip, the image of an old man of the same size as an ordinary person gradually took shape.
The old man looked exactly like the sculpture, lifelike, with a pair of deep and bright eyes, as if he could see through Mo Qingkuang’s heart.
“Are you the destined person who solved the Rubik’s Cube?” The old man’s vicissitudes of life sounded, and Mo Qingkuang was startled.
"Little, kid Mo Qingkuang, I accidentally got the ancient jade magic cube you left behind, and luckily solved it, and then I found this place according to the map. Are you, are you Lingyuan Saint Master?" Mo Qingkuang asked cautiously with trembling lips.
This is an old monster from tens of thousands of years ago. Although it is said that he has been dead for many years, he is still standing in front of him vividly through the light. I can't help but respect him.
Lingyuan Saint Master looked at Mo Qingkuang carefully and frowned: "Wind Spirit Body, such a good talent, why is the formation attainment so rough? Is it still worthy of a third-grade formation master?"
"With your strength, you are not worthy of accepting my inheritance!"
Mo Qingkuang was speechless. It was true that his formation attainment was rough, but it was not because he had poor talent and did not study seriously.
It was because he had just started to learn.
If Lingyuan Saint Master did not teach him for this reason, it would be a loss.
"Senior, I have always been yearning for the art of formation, but I have no famous teacher to guide me, so I have never been able to enter the door. It was not until a few days ago that I solved your ancient jade magic cube, and now I have a rough understanding of the way." Mo Qingkuang said with some embarrassment.
Lingyuan Saint Master was stunned when he heard this: "You said you just came into contact with this a few days ago?"
If it was just a few days ago, then Mo Qingkuang's talent in the art of formation is remarkable, and he has reached the level of a third-grade formation master.
Combined with his current age, even in his era, he was considered a very good seedling.
Mo Qingkuang nodded seriously. He did not lie about this. He learned it at the last minute before entering the Nether Swamp. It took no more than ten days at most.
"In this case, I will test you. In one stick of incense, find every node of this formation." Lingyuan Saint Master waved his hand casually, and tens of thousands of seals flew out.
Like the stars falling from the sky, it was obviously in the space of the ninth floor.
Obviously, this is a powerful fourth-grade spiritual formation.
As soon as the spiritual formation took shape, Mo Qingkuang felt a chill coming, and frost began to form on the surface of his body.
He recognized that this was a fourth-grade spiritual formation, the Ice Formation, which could cause the temperature inside the formation to drop sharply. After the arrangement of the Spiritual Yuan Saint Master, it seemed to be more powerful.
If he resisted, even if he was himself, he could not last more than two incense sticks.
After two incense sticks, as long as the formation was not destroyed, Mo Qingkuang would be frozen into an ice sculpture.
He felt helpless. Is this how the Spiritual Yuan Saint Master treats the inheritor?
I'll give you a difficult problem. If you can't solve it, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture!
Fortunately, Mo Qingkuang's wind spirit body made a contribution. He was extremely sensitive to the subtle changes in the air. As soon as the Spiritual Yuan Saint Master made a move, he accurately captured the specific location where each seal disappeared.
Mo Qingkuang was well prepared and kept it in mind.
He turned his wrist, stretched out two fingers, and trembled slightly in the air in front of him. On his fingers, a seal appeared like a magic trick.
Seals are invisible to ordinary people. Only array masters can accurately see their existence.
Seeing that Mo Qingkuang found the first one so easily, Lingyuan Saint Master did not speak, and there was no joy or sadness in his eyes.
One or two is not difficult, even an apprentice of a spiritual array master can do it.
The difficulty lies in the fact that this fourth-grade ice array requires 61,824 prints! He also secretly hid one to enhance the power of the ice array.
So a total of 61,825.
This is the trap he designed for Mo Qingkuang. If Mo Qingkuang had studied the ice array, finding the original number would mean completion, and the ending would still be failure.
He was not a man who was easy to talk to. Mo Qingkuang claimed that he could become a third-grade array master in a few days. He just wanted to see it with his own eyes.
He had very high requirements for his successors, so it was very difficult to find more than 60,000 seals in the severe cold that affected his actions within a stick of incense.
But if Mo Qingkuang couldn't even do this, he was not worthy of being his successor, which also meant that what Mo Qingkuang said before was a lie.
Then, he deserved to die.
Mo Qingkuang didn't stop. Time is money. He pulled himself together, resisted the invasion of the cold, and found the seals one after another.
