Chapter 13: Divine Consciousness
The formation is very stable.
Tang Chen no longer hesitated, controlling the formation to move towards the vine rope.
The [Gathering Water Array] composed of spiritual power is as soft as yarn, ethereal, and the spiritual power is dense, like a dream, like a delicate and fragile work of art. Tang Chen held his breath and concentrated, the water gathering array was pulled by an invisible hand, and slowly moved closer to the rattan rope.
While moving the formation, Tang Chen began to compress the formation.
The area of the drawn formation is too large, and the magic weapon or embryo can be inserted after compression to keep the formation complete.
The area of the formation continued to shrink, from the initial plate to the size of a fist, and the spiritual power line became more condensed, and finally fixed into a circle about two fingers wide.
With the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, compressing the water gathering array to two finger widths was definitely something to be proud of, but Tang Chen's face was not half colorful, and his brows were furrowed. A two-finger-wide formation is more than enough to penetrate the general legal or embryonic formation, but it is not enough now.
Far from enough!
The rattan rope has an irregular shape, and the difficulty of entering it has increased sharply, but Tang Chen is confident that it can be solved with techniques.
The biggest problem is that the rattan rope as a carrier is too thin compared to the compressed formation.
The thickest single rattan is about two fingers in diameter, but the thick rattan is a minority after all, and it is more of a rattan rope kneaded by multiple rattans. The rattan rope is kneaded into rattan rope, and the diameter of a single root is generally above and below one finger, and it is absolutely impossible to break into the formation.
The formation needs to be further compressed.
The spiritual power enveloped the water gathering array, and pressed the water gathering array towards the center.
In order to avoid damaging the structure of the formation, Tang Chen did not dare to arbitrarily force pressure, and carefully looked for the gap in the formation.
Half a pillar of incense passed, Tang Chen's forehead was dripping with sweat, and the water gathering array still remained the size of two fingers.
The cold light in Tang Chen's eyes flashed, and he began to increase the output of spiritual power, recklessly reckless.
The spiritual power line of the formation began to tremble, and signs of instability gradually appeared.
Forcibly suppressing the formation may damage its internal structure and cause the formation to fail, which has always been a taboo for refining. But now Tang Chen was a little desperate, seeing that the water gathering array still showed no signs of shrinking, how could he easily stop and urge the spiritual power in his body with all his might.
"Phew!"
The water gathering array exploded into a cloud of spiritual mist.
Tang Chen was hit by the air flow and sat on the ground, his eyes glazed.
The kitten that was sleeping soundly in Tang Chen's arms suffered from the pond fish, and Tom didn't understand what was going on at all, and was frightened. It instinctively jumped up from Tang Chen's arms and tried to hide in a safe place, but it slammed into the trunk of the tree in a panic. The little guy shook his little head blankly and found that the sky was full of golden stars.
After a while, the cat came back to its senses and looked at Tang Chen with resentment, his face full of innocence.
"Have you reached the limit......" Tang Chen turned a blind eye to the cat and muttered to himself.
He quickly ruled it out.
When he was in Qianfu Gate, he saw with his own eyes that his master compressed a more complex formation to the size of a mung bean. The water gathering array is a basic formation, with a simple structure and clear lines, and there is no reason why it can't be suppressed. It can only be said that he did not find a suitable method.
The easiest way to compress the formation is to suppress the spiritual power, just like Tang Chen did before, but the extent to which this method can be compressed is directly related to the depth of the caster's cultivation. The master is a Jindan monk, it is not difficult to compress the formation to the size of a mung bean, Tang Chen's cultivation is only five layers of qi refining, and compressing the formation to the size of two fingers is already his limit.
The gap in cultivation is not something that can be made up by a thorough understanding of the formation.
Cultivation is the foundation of a monk, and honesty is not self-deceptive.
It's cultivation again!
If eating is the root of the monk, then how good it would be, brother strive for invincibility......
The shortcomings of cultivation, Tang Chen has nothing to do for the time being, and he has to find another way.
The key to compressing the formation is to find the gap between the spiritual power lines, and it is easier to compress it at the beginning stage, because the formation is large enough, the spiritual power line is relatively clear, and it is not difficult to find the gap. As the formation became smaller and smaller, many spiritual power lines were entangled in the limited space, and it became even more difficult to sort out the context.
If you want to further compress the formation, you must find the gaps between the spiritual power lines.
To find the gaps, you must see the structure of the compressed formation!
The question is, how can you see the compressed structure? At this point, the role of the eye is very limited, at most it looks at the outer structure, and as for the inside, the eye is beyond its reach.
Tang Chen thought hard, his brows twisted into pimples.
How can you see the structure inside......
His heart moved: Divine sense!
Consciousness is colorless, tasteless, formless, and substantial, but it is real. The area covered by the divine consciousness is like a small tentacle full of invisible, it is pervasive, and where there are gaps, the divine consciousness can almost penetrate into it. The blind spots that are invisible to the naked eye are clearly reproduced in front of the divine consciousness, and no subtle changes can be hidden.
The monk's understanding of divine consciousness is very limited, and demons are experts in playing with divine consciousness.
Monks usually pay more attention to things that can be directly tested, such as cultivation, magic techniques, formations, etc., and it is best to help improve combat effectiveness, and the divine consciousness does not have these characteristics, so there are very few monks who are willing to cultivate the divine sense. In addition, the divine consciousness is greatly affected by talent, and there are very few monks with strong divine sense, which seriously restricts the study of the divine consciousness of the monks, and there are few divine consciousness cultivation methods and inheritances in the monk world, which is the reason.
Tang Chen possessed an extraordinary talent for divine sense.
However, the master didn't know how to cultivate his divine sense, so he could only let him explore it on his own.
No one told him that he could use his divine sense to interpret the formation.
Tang Chen stopped talking, put his hands on his chest, and his ten fingers bloomed like orchids. In a short time, a new water gathering array was completed, and it took even less time than the first time. As soon as the water gathering array took shape, Tang Chen began to compress it until he compressed the formation to the size of two fingers.
Taking a deep breath, after his mood calmed down, Tang Chen closed his eyes and released his divine sense.
The divine consciousness quickly drilled into the formation, and the formation structure was reflected in Tang Chen's mind from the outside in.
There is a door!
Tang Chen didn't immediately start to compress further, he patiently observed each spiritual power line in the formation, calculated the relative distance between the lines, and the connection between them, thinking about where to move first, where to move later, where to press, and where to linkage......
In my mind, the compression scheme is constantly refined.
Now is the time!
Ten fingers suddenly shuttled and swayed like flowers, and the two-finger formation was like a marionette controlled by fingers, trembling, and small pits continued to appear on the surface. The small pit is born and extinguished, and every time it is born and destroyed, the appearance of the formation seems to have not changed, but many times the birth and death are accumulated, and the transformation effect of the formation becomes obvious.
The formation is getting smaller!
Although the speed was slow, it was enough to make Tang Chen feel excited, which showed that his method was correct and feasible. It doesn't matter if the speed is slower now, this is the first time he has tried to analyze the formation with his divine sense, and he needs to adapt to the process, and as his proficiency gradually increases, he believes that the efficiency will become higher and higher.
He is not afraid of slow progress, he is afraid of no direction.
The formation is still compressing, but it is getting harder and harder to compress.
When the formation was pressed to a finger's width, Tang Chen was sweating profusely, his eyes were red, the blue tendons on his forehead were jumping suddenly, and his ten fingers were no longer moving as if they were carrying a heavy burden, shaking like a pendulum.
Tang Chen could only grit his teeth and insist, if he couldn't compress the formation and punch it in one go, the formation would lose control, and even if it didn't burst, it would directly return to the initial state when the formation was drawn, which meant that all the previous efforts were wasted and he needed to start all over again.
Tang Chen thought of the spring, the greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance, and the more spiritual power was consumed.
His face was red, and he tried his best to control his spiritual power.
"Just a little bit!"
"Be small, be small, be small!"
The formation, which had been immobile for a while, finally gave way by a small step.
Under the shroud of divine sense, Tang Chen could perceive every change in the formation for the first time.
It's a small step, but it's enough!
Use the last remaining spiritual power to drive the compressed formation into the vine rope.
The formation quickly vanished.
Tang Chen didn't have time to check if the formation could work normally, and fell to the ground.
