Condensing Spirit Seals, Becoming a Spirit Array Master at Last!

"There are other secrets hidden within these Basic Formation Annotations?"

After putting aside thoughts of the Greater World, another remark from Formation Old Man caught Xiao Lin's attention.

He took the Basic Formation Annotations out of his Storage Ring once more and repeatedly flipped through it.

Yet no matter how closely he examined it, he could not discern the other secret hidden within the book.

"Don't waste your effort. With your current strength, it is impossible for you to discover the secret I hid in this book. To uncover its secrets, you must reach at least the Spirit Array Master level I possessed back then!

"You are not even a Spirit Array Master yet!"

Seeing Xiao Lin wasting his efforts, Formation Old Man could not help but laugh.

When he had written these Basic Formation Annotations on a whim, he had not done so without purpose.

Although he had left this book in the Savage Sect, he had never expected anyone from the Savage Sect to uncover its secret.

All he wanted was for the Savage Sect to preserve this book.

After all, he could not guarantee that he would not die someday.

Still, his longing for his old sect, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, had compelled him to leave this book behind.

If he were to die in an accident, these Basic Formation Annotations would effectively become his "last testament."

Clearly, the secret hidden within these Basic Formation Annotations was related to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

It could be said that this was Formation Old Man's obsession!

If someone could one day unravel the secret he had left in this book, perhaps they could return to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace in his stead and take a look.

"Teacher, can't you just tell me what other secret is in this book?"

After flipping through it several times without finding anything, Xiao Lin could only give up. However, there was a faint note of grievance in his voice.

Riddle-speakers were the worst!

He would become a riddle-speaker someday too!

All that could be said was, as expected of Xiao Lin...

"Hahaha, that is precisely why I left this book behind. It is both a form of training for you and a marker for testing your Spirit Array Master level!

"To keep you from being overly ambitious, I will not directly tell you the location of the former Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

"Once you unravel these Basic Formation Annotations, you will naturally learn the location of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's former site.

"When that time comes, whether you choose to explore it will be entirely up to you.

"As for what other secrets are hidden in these Basic Formation Annotations, you will have to find the answer yourself."

After realizing that he did not have much time left in this world, this was perhaps Formation Old Man's final instruction to Xiao Lin, his newly accepted disciple.

"Your disciple will remember it well!"

When Xiao Lin noticed Formation Old Man's soul sway once again, he immediately discarded any thought of continuing to joke around with him.

It was not just Formation Old Man himself. At that moment, Xiao Lin also understood that his newly acknowledged teacher did not have long left to live.

Thus, the time ahead was the most important. They had no time to waste.

"Alright. I have said everything that needed to be said. The road ahead must be walked by you alone. Now, let us complete the last matter keeping me in this world!"

At this moment, Formation Old Man had put away all his emotions, leaving Xiao Lin unable to see the slightest trace of his inner thoughts on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

"Child, there is no need to feel sad for me. I have already walked the path of my life. In these final moments, being able to accept you as my disciple and ensure that the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's legacy does not perish leaves me without regrets.

"Now, let me use my final moments to teach you the method of condensing Spirit Seals.

"Only by successfully condensing a Spirit Seal can you advance from a Formation Master to a Spirit Array Master!"

As if he had guessed what Xiao Lin was thinking, Formation Old Man spoke freely.

"I understand, Teacher. Then let us begin."

Xiao Lin lowered his eyelids, making it impossible for others to see what he was thinking at that moment.

"Ah..."

After sighing, Formation Old Man did not know what else to say.

Partings were always filled with sorrow.

But he still had a little time left!

Then, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged before Formation Old Man and adjusted his essence, energy, and spirit.

Once Xiao Lin had brought himself to peak condition, Formation Old Man extended a finger and touched it to his brow.

In an instant, a method for condensing Spirit Seals flooded into Xiao Lin's mind.

At the same time, Xiao Lin began mobilizing all the Battle Qi and soul power within his body.

Following the method Formation Old Man had transmitted, he attempted to condense his first Spirit Seal!

Although condensing a single Spirit Seal would not allow him to directly set up an array,

once he had entered the door, condensing greater numbers of Spirit Seals afterward would no longer be an impossible dream.

However, perhaps because Battle Qi was ultimately inferior to the spiritual energy of the Greater World,

although Spirit Array Masters on the Dou Qi Continent and in the Greater World belonged to the same profession, condensing Spirit Seals with Battle Qi on the Dou Qi Continent was clearly much harder than using spiritual energy in the Greater World.

Even with the aid of Heavenly Mirror-level soul power, Xiao Lin still had to put in considerable effort just to get started.

As time slowly passed, Xiao Lin failed again and again while condensing Spirit Seals within his sea of consciousness.

He had already experienced this sort of failure countless times.

Yet he had no intention of giving up.

All beginnings were difficult; this was an eternal truth.

As long as one learned how to condense the first Spirit Seal, all that remained afterward was to follow the same pattern.

Without exaggeration, condensing the first Spirit Seal was absolutely more difficult than condensing hundreds afterward.

Many people could not become Spirit Array Masters throughout their entire lives because they failed at the stage of condensing Spirit Seals.

How should it be put? The first step of condensing a Spirit Seal was actually much like the Battle Qi stage.

Although some people cultivated at different speeds during the Battle Qi stage, there were no shortage of those who cultivated slowly during that stage but later surpassed those who had cultivated quickly!

The same principle applied to condensing the first Spirit Seal.

At this stage, it only showed whether one had the qualifications to become a Spirit Array Master; it could not reveal one's absolute talent!

Of course, generally speaking, if one cultivated quickly during the Battle Qi stage or took less time to condense the first Spirit Seal, one's talent would not be poor.

To put it plainly, during this special stage, cultivating quickly proved that one had strong talent, but cultivating slowly did not mean one lacked talent!

Since this was his first encounter with Spirit Seals, Formation Old Man considered Xiao Lin's speed of condensing them to be not particularly fast.

However, he did not deny Xiao Lin's talent for formations because of this.

After all, this was a special stage!

"As your teacher, let me help you one last time!"

Seeing Xiao Lin fall into a bottleneck while condensing his first Spirit Seal, Formation Old Man acted once more.

As his words fell, he merged every last trace of his remaining soul power into Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness.

With Formation Old Man's assistance, the remaining half of the Spirit Seal that Xiao Lin had already condensed halfway suddenly began taking shape at a visible speed!

Before long, a Spirit Seal emitting pure white radiance floated within Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness.

"Success!"

At that moment, the excitement and exhilaration in Xiao Lin's heart could no longer be expressed in words.

At the same time, successfully condensing his first Spirit Seal meant that from this day onward, he could call himself a noble Spirit Array Master!

In the future, once Xiao Lin condensed a sufficient number of Spirit Seals, he would be able to set up a world-shaking grand array with a wave of his hand.

This had always been his dream!

However, when he recalled that a force had suddenly helped him at the final moment of condensing the Spirit Seal, Xiao Lin instantly realized something.
