Chapter 27: Perception

Five days later.

In the stone house, Mu Yiyang was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a yellowed animal skin paper on his knees, beads of sweat the size of beans kept coming out of his forehead, and his delicate face was full of exhaustion.

In the past few days, under the guidance of Mu Tianfu, he has a deeper understanding of the knowledge of the magic circle, and finally knows how dangerous it is for him to inadvertently trigger the soul locking magic circle that day, and he is also a little afraid in his heart.

Like the pharmacist, the mage is also divided into levels, according to the cumulative order of the difficulty of the circle they arrange, it can be divided into three types: star-level mage, moon-level mage and god-level mage, and each level can be subdivided into three levels: small, medium, and large, so the mage can be divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine different realms of the power of the bloodline.

Although the Soul Locking Array is a broken array diagram that Mu Tianfu inadvertently obtained, it is a third-level magic array, and it is also a magic array that can temporarily restrain the power of the monk's bloodline, although the power is not as good as before, but its loss of soul power is very huge, so it is actually a very dangerous thing to copy it out without knowing it.

Fortunately, Mu Tianfu appeared in time and withdrew the remnants of the formation early, so Mu Yiyang was able to be freed and not affected too much.

As for the little cloud mouse, he has never woken up since he fell into a coma that day. According to Mu Tianfu, the little cloud rat is actually a young species of Sky Devouring Rat, a very small mutant among the many cloud rats that can awaken the ancestral bloodline hidden in its body.

That day, it was the little cloud rat who woke up Mu Yiyang at a critical moment, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been addicted to the trajectory of the magic circle rune and died of soul exhaustion.

The so-called Sky Devouring Rat, strictly speaking, is not a demonic beast, but a spirit beast that gave birth to a spiritual intelligence, and its IQ is no worse than that of humans.

And corresponding to its IQ, it is the extremely terrifying talent of the Sky Devouring Rat. The adult Sky Eater is not only immune to all soul attacks, but also able to shuttle between the void at will, and is a powerful spirit beast that controls the power of space.

At the moment, although the little cloud rat has not yet woken up, its breath of life is becoming more and more vigorous, which Mu Yiyang was puzzled at first, and later learned from Mu Tianfu that spirit beasts are different from human beings, they have their own bloodline inheritance in their bodies, and sleep is the main way for them to obtain inheritance.

In other words, although the little cloud rat accidentally fell into a coma, it also inspired its own bloodline inheritance and obtained a great creation that Mu Yiyang was envious of.

In this regard, in addition to being amazed, Mu Yiyang couldn't help but speed up the cultivation process of the basic magic circle, but he suddenly found that the difficulty of the cultivation of the magic circle was completely beyond his imagination, and the copying and perception were not what he thought in his heart.

The reason why he was able to condense the Locking Spirit Array in a very short period of time was because it was only a remnant array, and the runes of the magic array were incomplete, so Mu Yiyang triggered it by mistake.

Now, through the guidance of Mu Tianfu's system, Mu Yiyang knows that copying the magic circle is just a basic skill, and perception is the core step of the practice of the magic circle.

At the beginning, in Mu Yiyang's opinion, the cultivation of the magic circle was nothing more than a process of constantly repeating and memorizing, although it was more exhausting when practicing, but because he was a pharmacist apprentice before, this kind of intensity of practice was not too difficult for him, and in fact, it was the same.

However, to his surprise, in the process of cultivating the first-level gravity circle, as the number of copies continued to increase, he was suddenly shocked to find that the runes he had carved out were different each time.

In addition, he also found that he obviously knew all about the trajectory of the gravity array, but once he was out of the array, no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to successfully condense his memory, and even as the cultivation time increased, he forgot more and more things.

It was only at this time, inspired by Mu Tianfu, that Mu Yiyang realized that he had been ignoring the key step of comprehension, and began to consciously comprehend the laws of heaven and earth contained in it in the process of copying the trajectory of the magic array, but the effect was not very obvious.

"It's been so long, and I still don't have any understanding at all, isn't it true that I'm not suitable for cultivating the magic circle?" In the stone house, staring at the earthy yellow light spots that kept flickering in his consciousness, Mu Yiyang said bitterly in his heart.

Then, with a period of helplessness, he wanted to end the night's practice, but at this moment, Mu Tianfu's old and kind face suddenly flashed in his mind, and his heart couldn't help sinking, and he suddenly gritted his teeth, urged his soul power again, and began a new round of copying and understanding.

"I don't know how to feel something, but since the circle is a copy of the rules of the Great Dao, then the circle itself is actually a rule, since it is a rule, even if there is no understanding, the circle is still a part of the power of heaven and earth, and it can also exert its power. The reason why I failed to successfully engrave it before was not a problem of the formation diagram, nor was it a problem of understanding, but it must be that I did not copy it enough. ”

Thinking like this, a strong attachment suddenly rose in Mu Yiyang's heart, he wasn't sure if his idea was correct, but who could say that this was not an insight?

"No matter how complex a formation scroll is, its formation pattern must be fixed, and it is impossible to copy so many different results in the same picture, unless...... From the very beginning, I had mistaken the trajectory of the formation, or maybe the gravity circle in front of me didn't have the slightest pattern at all!"

Looking at the earthy yellow light spot in his mind again, Mu Yiyang had some more enlightenment in his heart, but he no longer copied, but slowly withdrew his soul power, meditated on the bed for about a pillar of incense, and after readjusting his state, he fell his consciousness on the gravity magic array and continued to copy.

Soon, the first formation was revealed, followed by the second, fourth, and eighth...... The earthy yellow points of light kept differentiating and traveling, and the patterns formed became more and more complex, but Mu Yiyang did not look for the trajectory as before, nor did he deliberately memorize, but used his soul power as a line to connect those formations one by one in the order in which they appeared, and still operated by themselves until there were no more earthy yellow formations, and only then began to copy for the second time.

Undoubtedly, this is ineffective, just like the red painting of a child when he first learns to draw, but it is a clumsy and ineffective technique, which is far from the previous copying.

However, Mu Yiyang didn't care, but still repeated this boring process over and over again, slowly and patiently.

He never thought of himself as a gifted person, on the contrary, he always felt stupid, and many times he always realized that the same thing often took more time than others to complete.

It was precisely because of this that he had always been more patient than others, and although the practice of tracing the magic circle seemed stupid, it was the best and easiest way for Mu Yiyang to think of to avoid this step of comprehension.

With the increasing number of traces, although Mu Yiyang was not able to condense the gravity array, through connecting and tracing again and again, the prototype of a magic circle rune was gradually formed and outlined in his mind.

Compared to before, he could already roughly feel the ancient and desolate aura of the gravity circle rune, and although it was not very obvious, it gave him a signal that he was right.

Two whole days have passed like this, after repeated monotonous and tedious traces again and again, and I don't know how many thousands of times it has been repeated, a complete gravity array rune has finally taken shape in front of his eyes, although it has not yet been completely condensed, but the breath of primitive barrenness is getting stronger and stronger, as if it will be directly condensed in the next moment.

Then, another day passed, because of the long-term use of soul power to trace, Mu Yiyang's mental state was not very good, the whole person was extremely tired, his face was pale, and he was completely mechanically repeating the action of tracing under the instinct of his body, but he was still gritting his teeth and holding on, not letting himself lose consciousness.

"Come on, one more time, I will definitely be able to condense you!" Although his physical condition was very poor, Mu Yiyang's heart was very clear.

"It's been seven days, whether it's tracing or copying, I can't condense the gravity array, if I expect it to be correct, the last step of the condensation array, with the help of the array, is useless, but needs to be directly condensed, communicate the power of heaven and earth!"

After tracing again, Mu Yiyang suddenly opened his eyes, took back his soul power from the array scroll, and muttered to himself.

Then, I saw him take a deep breath, and suddenly urged the soul power vortex in his mind, and a faint soul power silk thread suddenly extended in the air, and then continued to bifurcate and change, and an ancient rune with a mysterious and complex and shimmering earthy yellow light slowly took shape, and a far heavier pressure suddenly came, like a turbulent wave, constantly invading from top to bottom.

Immediately after, an incomparably blazing earthy yellow light suddenly erupted from the runes in the air, and there was a sudden stirring in the void, and countless yin and yang forces gathered from all directions, all of which were injected into it, forming a very majestic aura vortex.

A strong wind suddenly blew, blowing straight so that Mu Yiyang's black hair danced wildly, there was surprise and shock in his eyes, but more of it was excitement, because at this moment, he actually had a feeling of connecting with the magic circle runes in the air, and as soon as his mind moved, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared, and under a thought, it reappeared.

In a trance, he suddenly had a feeling that he was the master of this world, as if everything was under his control, which was very novel.

But at this moment, the gravity array runes in the air suddenly began to shake violently, and a huge suction force suddenly came out of it, Mu Yiyang only felt a roar in his mind, and he was instantly overwhelmed by a sharp pain, and the situation was very critical.

And at this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up in the room, but a small gossip plate only the size of a palm suddenly flew from outside the house, flying towards the magic circle runes in the air, and burst out with a dazzling light.
