Chapter 1034 -660 Sword Cultivation (Thank you to the alliance leader of the immortality cultivation experts~)_2 Chapter 1034 -660 Sword Cultivation (Thank you to the alliance leader of the immortality cultivation experts~)_2 Although sometimes Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was profound and his inner heart inscrutable, at other times, his nature was quite innocent, with every little thought clearly written on his face. “You can’t go,” Murong Caiyun said. Mo Hua was taken aback, “Why…” Murong Caiyun listed the reasons for him one by one: “First, you’re only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, your cultivation isn’t enough; second, you’ve only been inducted for two years, time isn’t enough; third, entering Refining Demon Mountain requires a Sect Pass, which you’re not eligible for, so you can’t buy…” Mo Hua whispered, “Can I sneak in?” Murong Caiyun gave him a slight glare, “There’s a Formation sealing it, how would you sneak in?” Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “What grade is that Formation?” Murong Caiyun shook her head, “I don’t know about that, but at the very least it should be a Fifth Grade Formation.” “Fifth Grade…” Mo Hua felt somewhat regretful. A Fifth Grade Formation was too high in grade for him to fiddle with. Otherwise, he might have been able to secretly open a gap and slip inside to take a look. However, he was also very curious about what a Formation of the Fifth Grade would be like. “In conclusion,” Murong Caiyun advised, “don’t think about Refining Demon Mountain for now…” “As for missions, if you have any troubles, just let me know, I’ll definitely help you when I have time.” Mo Hua was touched in his heart and nodded, “Rest assured, Senior Sister, you go ahead with your tasks, don’t worry about me!” After parting with Murong Caiyun, Mo Hua walked alone towards the Disciple’s Residence. While walking, he pondered in his heart. “Senior Sister Murong is going into Refining Demon Mountain…” “Then Shangguan Senior Brother, Senior Brother Feng, and Senior Sister Qianqian, they should also be entering the mountain…” “After all, Refining Demon Mountain is the main source of merit points for disciples in the middle phase of Foundation Establishment.” With that being the case, there would be no one to join him for fun… Although, at the Daoist Court, he was now somewhat familiar. But the Daoist Court, after all, was the Daoist Court, not a Sect, and it was complex and murky within, and the merits earned might not necessarily convert into “merit points” of the Sect. Even if they could convert, the process was both complex and protracted. “Maybe I should… gather some others to have fun?” Who to gather? Cheng Mo and Situ Jian? Mo Hua shook his head slightly. Their cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He used to hang out with those at the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment, Enforcement Leaders of the Daoist Court, and Supervisor Gu, the Golden Core Stage Uncle Gu. Not to mention not leveling up, how could he even consider downgrading? But after much thought, there seemed to be no one else. Mo Hua pondered for a while and sighed, “I’ll think about it later…” First, take care of his own matters. After returning to the Disciple’s Residence, Mo Hua sat in meditation in his room and cultivated with closed eyes. When his Qi Sea was full and his meridians slightly swollen, he opened his eyes. “Cultivation!” From now on, he would need to spend more time every day on cultivation. Although cultivation takes persistent effort, a gentle and unhurried approach, an extra bit of effort every day would naturally make his cultivation progress faster. Mo Hua had thought it through. The second year at the Sect could be very monotonous. His Divine Sense Realm was bottlenecked by his cultivation. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 The bottleneck from Sixteen Patterns to Seventeen Patterns, the leap from the middle to the late phase of Foundation Establishment, was the bottleneck of Divine Sense. That bottleneck was like a chasm. Even if Mo Hua practiced drawing formations every day and refined his Divine Sense, occasionally protecting little Yu Er from nightmares and getting some “side income”, his Divine Sense was simply overranked too much. It would be difficult to break through this obstruction in a short period of time. With Divine Sense stuck, Mo Hua’s proficiency in formations couldn’t continue to rise. He could only broaden his foundation in formations and continue to learn other formations within the Second Grade Sixteen Patterns… However, such formations, after all, lacked challenge, and studying too many of them became somewhat tedious… Mo Hua sighed. He wanted to learn higher-level formations. Especially the Original Magnet-type formations, the construction of those more profound Magnetic Patterns and the application of the Secondary Thunder Patterns, Mo Hua had longed for a while. But without a breakthrough in Divine Sense, he currently was unable to learn those. Mo Hua felt a bit helpless. … In the following month, since Senior Sister Murong and the others had all entered Refining Demon Mountain, Mo Hua seldom went out for missions. He alone couldn’t take on bounties above the middle phase of Foundation Establishment. The early stage bounties gave too few merit points. It was somewhat a waste of time for him to do them alone. Better to spend more time drawing Second Grade formations, earning more merit points without having to run around. This made Mo Hua feel even more monotonous. Unable to go out for bounties. His cultivation increasing little by little, slowly, unable to break through the realm. His Divine Sense also strengthening bit by bit, gradually, yet unable to break through the realm. Yu Er would still occasionally suffer from nightmares at night, disturbed by Demon Monsters, but without the Shepherd of Goat Bones present. As for spells, he had pretty much learned what was necessary. The structural stability of the Mini Meteorite Skill Pattern was now incredibly stable. He had also learned quite a few other Second Grade functional formations… There wasn’t much to aspire to in the short term… Life was as plain as water, without excitement or joy. Suddenly, Mo Hua felt that he should proactively find something else to learn… He thought about it and picked up the Gold-Cutting Imperial Sword Technique again, wanting to practice Sword Qi. When it came to cultivating Sword Qi, Mo Hua’s foundation was too poor. The other sword-cultivating disciples within the Sect already had their family’s heritage, and after being immersed in it since childhood, they began practicing sword moves and cultivating Sword Qi. At each higher realm, the sharpness of their Sword Qi would increase by a degree. By the later stages, they would become one with the sword, their Sword Qi piercing the heavens and reaching the earth. Mo Hua, coming from the background of a Loose Cultivator, barely touched a sword before Foundation Establishment.
