The road is vague

Chapter 132: Eating Mountains and Seas
Li Mo sat cross-legged in the center of the flag formation and released his spiritual sense.

Thirty-six flags were placed in all directions in a mysterious pattern.

This time he no longer just used the flag formation as a tool, but as an extension of his body, an amplifier of his spiritual thoughts, and a giant eye.

He kept counting on his fingers, using the basic knowledge of a formation master to deduce the order of heaven and earth, and then used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as a ruler to measure the order of heaven and earth, carefully perceiving all the changes within the formation area.

As a disciple of the Lingmu Sect, the spiritual eyes can further amplify his perception and help him comprehend the great Dao.

"Thirty-six formation flags are deployed to form the Six Disasters and Six Tribulations Dust Extermination Formation, covering an area of ​​nine and seven-tenths acres, approximately one-two thousand one hundred and twenty-one percent of Cuixia Peak's area, and one-million three hundred and ninety-four thousand and twenty-two percent of Qingming Mountain's protective formation. Maintaining this formation consumes one-nineteenth of a low-grade spirit stone every hour..."

I do not know how long it has been.

Li Mo slowly closed his eyes and gained insights with his spiritual perception.

The earth is breathing, the veins are constantly undulating and moving slowly, but this process is too slow and too small for ordinary people to perceive.

Only by relying on the control area of ​​the formation and amplifying the five senses can one perceive something slightly.

Water vapor rises into clouds and air flows into wind.

Between heaven and earth, everything is constantly changing.

A flying insect flapped its wings and glided by, a blade of grass grew vigorously, a green leaf gradually rotted, and a wisp of dust slowly settled...

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are used as scales, and the inside and outside of the formation are used as references for comparison.

The clouds and mists of heaven and earth are constantly flowing, the sun, moon and stars rise and set in a cycle, the mountains and seas are magnificent, the vast and boundless scenery is eternal, and the shadows from the sky are constantly encroaching...

Sudden.

Li Mo opened his eyes and suddenly stood up from the ground.

"Critical value!"

He had no surprise or excitement, only solemnity in his eyes.

If what Wang Xiyue's senior brother speculated was true, then it could only mean one thing: this world is constantly dying, or is being constantly devoured by something.

This may be the reason why the ancient monks disappeared.

"Ok?"

Li Mo then realized that three days had passed and he didn't feel hungry or tired at all. Is this the process of a formation master spying on the secrets of heaven?

The reason why he suddenly opened his eyes just now was because he instinctively sensed the crisis and stopped spying.

It seems that if you look deeper, it will definitely bring disaster.

"That blurred sense of boundaries seems vaguely familiar."

Li Mo frowned. As he began to recall his past, his intuition as a formation master told him that this was a very dangerous thing and asked him not to think too much about it.

So he followed Professor Wang Xiyue's method and used a large number of logically incorrect questions to quickly and forcibly interrupt his thoughts and train of thought, thus forcibly destroying his various imaginations.

"Why do meteorites from outer space always land accurately in craters?"

"Should I tell you everything, or should I tell you everything?"

"Three words are three words, and four words are also three words."

"Is it true that seeing each other once less, or seeing each other once more..."

The chaotic logic soon brought Li Mo back to reality, and he felt his head twitching.

Then he put away the thirty-six flags of the Six Disasters and Six Tribulations Dust-Exterminating Formation and walked towards Wang Xiyue's cave. The Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Sealing Formation set up by Wang Zhu was still shining with its spiritual light.

Wang Xiyue on the chessboard sensed something and looked at the distraught Li Mo.

"It's still early, why are you back?"

Li Mo shook his head.

"I can't go any further. I've sensed that boundary. It feels very dangerous. It seems that if I go one step further, I'll fall into the bottomless abyss."

"you……"

After hearing this, Wang Xiyue was stunned for a long time before slowly getting up from the chessboard on the stone table.

The light of the spiritual power array continued to reflect on her face. Wang Xiyue looked at Li Mo with eyes filled with complex emotions such as anger, jealousy, longing, admiration, and desire.

Snapped!
She suddenly threw the black and white chess pieces in her hand away.

"You and I can't be together for long. You're a hundred times more dangerous than I thought!"

Wang Xiyue paced on the chessboard, seeming a little anxious.

After a while.

She made a decision and looked back at Li Mo.

"Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to identify formation diagrams and write the order fields of large formations. Since you are a rune master and have the True Spirit Eye of the Spiritual Eye Sect to assist you, your ability to write the order fields will not be inferior to mine. Finish your studies as soon as possible and leave immediately!"

"Yes."

Li Mo responded with a stern look on his face.

He finally understood why Lu Tong left in a hurry that day.

half a month later.

Wang Zhu returned with his enlightenment and sighed.

Most of them were words about the vastness of the universe and how insignificant one was. Although Wang Xiyue liked her very much and regarded her as a talented person in the art of runes and formations, because Li Momeiyu was in front of her, she only gave a few perfunctory compliments this time, looking like she was worried about something.

Wang Xiyue knows one thing very well.

In the art of rune formations, there is no such thing as hard work being more important than talent.

Once you understand, you understand. The various changes of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements can be understood in just a moment. The formation diagram is just for reference. You can completely bypass the process of rote memorization of the formation diagram. From flexible application to creating your own formation, it may only take a moment.

If you don’t understand, you won’t understand. Even if you work hard for a hundred years, you still won’t understand.

After Li Mo and Wang Zhu left.

Wang Xiyue looked at the black and white chessboard under her feet and slowly sat down.

"Brother, I have finally found someone who you said was born with the Nine Nine Formulas. I will quietly wait for the day when he can see through the secrets of heaven."

The scene of reciting "one plus one equals one, one plus two equals two, two plus two equals four" as a child came to her mind.

"Xiaoyue, why haven't you memorized the Nine Nine Formulas yet? You're so stupid!"

"One stick of incense is too short a time. I have to memorize so much. How can I remember it all? Brother, you are amazing. You memorized it after just one look. Brother, you will definitely become the world's number one formation master in the future!"

"Of course, unless someone is born with the Nine Nine Formulas..." Before I knew it.

Wang Xiyue's eyes were filled with tears, which rolled down her cheeks.

"You've repeatedly tried to peek into the secrets of heaven, but what did you see in the end? Just a single glance, and you ended up like that. You just told me to give up pursuing the path of rune formations... but I won't!"

A few more days passed.

Lingmumen’s annual graduation examination is coming to an end.

Li Mo came to Shenshu Square and stood under the ring. As one of the many spectators, he looked at the two people who were fighting on the ring.

"Uncle Li?"

A female disciple came to Li Mo and greeted him.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to remember.

The female disciple's name is Luo Shan, and she is a female disciple from a small family of Lingmu Sect. She once asked Yang Guang about Li Mo's hobbies, but was later scared away by Lu Tong. She learned from Lu Tong that the Luo family actually wanted to recruit a male disciple with outstanding potential to be their son-in-law.

"Roxanne."

Li Mo smiled slightly.

Now he is already a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his every move shows the demeanor of a master. He pointed at the two people on the ring.

"You are in the same class as these two. Can you introduce them to me?"

"No problem at all."

Luo Shan smiled and said, "That male disciple, named Xiao Fan, has a spiritual connection and cultivates at an incredibly fast pace. He has now reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, but unfortunately he hasn't been able to break through to the tenth level. He is one of the strongest disciples of this class and is also... a candidate for training within our Luo family."

At the end of the conversation, Luo Shan felt a little shy.

Li Mo was slightly surprised, then suddenly realized and smiled.

"What about the other female cultivator?"

"Oh, her name is Chen Linglong, a direct disciple of the Chen family. She possesses the Frost Thunder Body, and the lightning spells she casts have the triple effects of freezing, paralyzing, and chilling the heart. Her cultivation has also reached the ninth level of Qi training, and she is also one of the strongest disciples of this class."

Having said that, Luo Shan looked at Li Mo.

"In your opinion, who of these two is more likely to win?"

Li Mo shook his head.

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The Chen family is worthy of being one of the four great families, and they are truly full of talented people. This female disciple named Chen Linglong is obviously deliberately suppressing her cultivation, but unfortunately she's not very good at it. The barrier that seals her magic power is really an attempt to cover up her shortcomings. It would be better to control her magic power and cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training."

Unless a cultivator is at the Nascent Soul stage, it is difficult for outsiders to see the cultivator's magical powers unless he has exerted them to his fullest.

We can only make vague guesses based on the surging spiritual power and the strength of the divine consciousness.

However, Chen Linglong's deliberate use of the barrier to suppress her cultivation was considered superfluous by the formation master and only exposed herself.

But considering that this is the final examination, Chen Linglong did this most likely because she was lonely as a master and could not find any rivals among the same class of disciples. She was afraid of showing off her cultivation and winning by her realm, so it was understandable that she wanted to hone her magic skills here.

"Her true cultivation has reached the eleventh level of Qi training."

"what!"

Luo Shan showed disbelief.

After about half an incense stick of time.

With her ninth-level Qi training skills, Chen Linglong defeated Xiao Fan in the final of the graduation examination.

After saying goodbye to Li Mo, Luo Shan hurried to support Xiao Fan. Li Mo saw Chen Linglong walking off the ring with an expressionless face, and couldn't help but think of what Chen Yu had said.

He is not a core member among the new generation of disciples of the Chen family.

Li Mo heard the hidden meaning at that time, and now when he saw Chen Linglong again, he immediately understood everything. The Chen family poured all its resources into this talented descendant.

For this batch of disciples, Chen Linglong is another Jiang Sheng.

But it's a pity.

Among the disciples of this session, there are no Li Mo, Ye Yimeng, Ye Fuhu, Yang Zhiman, Chen Yu and others. I hope she can achieve good results in this year's Zhongshan Kingdom Forbidden Array Exchange Conference.

until afternoon.

After the year-end and final examinations, everyone dispersed. Li Mo then stepped forward and came before Ye Qing, the head of the Advanced Study Hall.

"Li Mo, deputy captain of the Special Service Hall, greets Hall Master Ye."

Ye Qing looked at Li Mo and smiled slightly.

"what's up?"

"It's like this. I'm serving in Bai'an County, Anbei Commandery. My disciple, Shi Yongjie, who was in the same class as me, was suddenly demoted from the Dharma Protector Hall for unknown reasons and appointed an Inspector to the Tianming Division of Bai'an County. Please advise, Hall Master Ye."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing snorted coldly.

"Junior Brother Li, are you here to call for justice?"

Li Mo quickly lowered his head.

"Disciple dare not!"

"Serving as an inspector to gain experience, how can that be considered a demotion? Aren't you also there as a prodigy of cultivation within our sect?"

Ye Qing said with an indifferent expression.

"Furthermore, I've reviewed Shi Yongjie's resume. Junior Brother Li, do you remember that the disciple who shared a dorm with him during his time in the Enlightenment Hall died suddenly from a backlash of his magical powers? Now that you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you must have known that if a disciple practicing the Great Circulation dies from a backlash of their magical powers, it must be due to external interference, right?"

Li Mo opened his mouth, but was speechless.

He had also speculated about this matter.

Seeing Li Mo like this, Ye Qing knew that Li Mo had understood her hint, so she said no more.

"I know you possess exceptional talent, a pure heart, and extraordinary comprehension. You've chosen to serve in the Special Service Hall. You'll undoubtedly achieve great things in the future. I, too, have high hopes for you. However, you should not get involved in this matter. This is my personal instruction. If he truly is a pure and kind person, and if he diligently fulfills his duties while serving with you, I will naturally be able to discern his every move."

Say it.

Ye Qing turned around and left.

After standing there in a daze for a long time, Li Mo finally sighed and went to Cuixia Peak to continue practicing the art of rune formations.
