In a guest room of the Little Luan Mountain Blessed Land.
For some time afterward, Mo Hua spent nearly every moment bent over his desk, reading texts on the Meteor Fire Forbidden Technique and studying its spell structure.
At the same time, he used his spiritual sense to calculate its structure and simulate the changes in spiritual power after the spells collided: how the fireballs fused, how the spell structure collapsed, and how the force released by those changes varied...
As he read and calculated, Mo Hua scribbled on paper and recorded the results of his deductions in a Jade Slip.
To an observer, he was simply reading and drawing diagrams.
Few would have guessed that this cultivator in the Golden Core Early Stage was conducting extremely dangerous research into a forbidden technique—one liable to catch fire and explode. As Mo Hua delved deeper, many concepts that had once seemed hazy to him grew clear.
"A spell structure is the basic framework that allows spiritual power to manifest as different spells."
Mo Hua had only half understood this before. Now, with more experience and time to ponder it, he gradually came to understand.
In essence, a "spell structure" was a fixed form of "law," situated between intangible law and tangible spellcraft.
It was an intermediate step: a way to move beyond a spell's surface and probe the deeper laws beneath it.
It was the form that linked spells to laws.
When spell structures collided, fused, or collapsed... each change altered those laws, and in doing so, unleashed tremendous power.
Perhaps the Meteor Fire Forbidden Technique was forbidden precisely because it dealt with altered spell structures.
Such structures were unstable, so the release of spiritual power could easily go awry.
Ordinary spells had stable structures and were therefore relatively safe when
