"This isn't something used for sharpening the mind or passing the time."
Old Kui had appeared at some unknown point and spoke in silence. Then he glanced at Mr. Zhuang, hesitated briefly, and added:
"At least, not for normal people."
Mr. Zhuang's brows furrowed slightly. "Have you seen this kind of cultivation method before?"
Old Kui shook his head faintly. "I've seen stranger cultivation methods, but one as strange as this, I haven't..."
"I've seen cultivation methods whose bottlenecks lay in Spirit Stones, spiritual roots, spiritual objects, meridians, bloodlines, and even ones that required killing people, killing demonic beasts, killing demonic cultivators, or even needed the blood qi, spiritual power, and divine sense of living people as the catalyst—but a situation where the bottleneck is a Riddle Array in the sea of consciousness is a first."
Old Kui said lightly again, "An old, obscure cultivation method like this is something only you pedantic ancient sects, who feed on the past and refuse to change, would have."
Mr. Zhuang sighed softly. "This makes things troublesome."
"I told you long ago there was no need to be different and learn some cultivation method no one else studies. This child Mo Hua's spiritual root was already no good, and now that he's learned such a remote cultivation method, his cultivation has been dragged down. His progress will be much slower." A trace of reproach showed in Old Kui's tone.
"One must see a matter through properly from beginning to end. I'll think of a way."
"What do you intend to do? Don't forget, you can't stay in this place for too long." Old Kui's gaze chilled slightly.
"I must at least finish teaching him array dissolution, so he can comprehend and break the Riddle Array in his sea of consciousness on his own,"
