"There are other secrets hidden within these 'Guide to Elementary Formations'?"
After setting aside thoughts of the Great Thousand World, another sentence from Old Man Zhen caught Xiao Lin's attention.
Pulling the "Guide to Elementary Formations" out from his storage ring once more, Xiao Lin flipped through it repeatedly. However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see another secret hidden within the book.
"Don't waste your energy."
"With your current strength, it's impossible to see the secret I've hidden in this book. To see through it, you must possess a Spiritual Array Master rank no lower than mine back then! Right now, you aren't even a Spiritual Array Master yet!"
Watching Xiao Lin engage in a futile effort, Old Man Zhen couldn't help but chuckle.
When he wrote these "Guide to Elementary Formations" on a whim, it wasn't without purpose. Although he left the book with the Myriad Desolate Sect, he hadn't actually expected anyone from that sect to see through the secret.
What he wanted was simply for the Myriad Desolate Sect to preserve the book. Because even he couldn't guarantee which day he might die. However, his nostalgia for his sect, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, led him to leave this book behind.
If he were to die in an accident, these "Guide to Elementary Formations" would essentially be his "last will and testament." Clearly, the secret hidden within these guide books was likely related to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
One could say this was Old Man Zhen's obsession!
Should someone be able to crack the secret he left in this book one day, perhaps they could visit the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace on his behalf.
"Master, what secret is in this book? Can't you just tell me directly?"
After flipping through it several times to no avail, Xiao Lin could only give up, though his tone carried a hint of faint resentment.
He hated "riddlers" the most!
He decided he would also become a riddler in the future!
It must be said, he truly is Xiao Lin...
"Hahaha, that is exactly the purpose of leaving this book. This is a form of trial for you, and also a benchmark to test your Spiritual Array Master rank!"
"To prevent you from aiming too high, I won't tell you the location of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's old site directly. Once you can crack these 'Guide to Elementary Formations,' you will naturally learn its location."
"At that time, whether or not to explore it will be entirely your choice. As for what other secrets are hidden in the book, you'll have to find the answers yourself."
Sensing that his remaining time in this world was short, this could be considered Old Man Zhen's final entrustment to his newly accepted disciple, Xiao Lin.
"This disciple shall keep it in mind!"
Noticing Old Man Zhen's soul flicker again, Xiao Lin instantly pulled back his desire to continue joking around.
Not just Old Man Zhen himself, but Xiao Lin also knew at this moment that his newly acknowledged Master didn't have much time left in this world. Therefore, the upcoming time was the most critical; they had no time to waste.
"Alright, I have imparted everything I needed to. The road ahead must be walked by you alone. Now, let us finish the last task I have left in this world!"
At this moment, Old Man Zhen had retracted all emotions. Xiao Lin could no longer see a single trace of his inner thoughts on his face. Seeing this, Xiao Lin's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into silence.
"Child, there is no need to feel sad for me. My life's journey has come to an end. In these final moments, being able to take you as a disciple and ensure the inheritance of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace is not severed, I have no regrets."
"Next, let me use my final moments to teach you the method of condensing Spiritual Seals. Only by successfully condensing a Spiritual Seal can you transition from a Formation Master to a Spiritual Array Master!"
As if guessing what Xiao Lin was thinking, Old Man Zhen spoke freely and easily.
"I understand, Master. Let us begin."
Xiao Lin lowered his eyelids, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this moment.
"Sigh~."
After a sigh, Old Man Zhen didn't know what else to say.
Parting is always tinged with sadness.
But he still had one last bit of time!
Subsequently, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged in front of Old Man Zhen, adjusting his essence, energy, and spirit. Once Xiao Lin had adjusted his state to its peak, Old Man Zhen extended a finger and tapped it against his forehead.
Instantly, a method for condensing Spiritual Seals surged into Xiao Lin's mind.
At the same time, Xiao Lin began to mobilize all the Dou Qi and Soul Power in his body. Following the method transmitted by Old Man Zhen, he attempted to condense the first Spiritual Seal!
Although condensing a single Spiritual Seal wouldn't help him arrange a formation immediately, as long as he entered the gate, condensing a larger number of Spiritual Seals in the future would no longer be a dream.
However, perhaps because Dou Qi is ultimately an energy inferior to the Spiritual Energy of the Great Thousand World.
Even though the Spiritual Array Masters of the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World share the same profession, attempting to rely on Dou Qi to condense Spiritual Seals was clearly much harder than using Spiritual Energy.
Even with the assistance of Heaven Realm Soul Power, Xiao Lin still had to spend a considerable amount of effort on the initial entry.
As time slowly passed within Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness, he failed in the process of condensing the Spiritual Seal time and time again.
Xiao Lin had experienced this failure an unknown number of times.
But he had no intention of giving up. Everything is difficult at the start; this is an eternal truth. As long as you learn how to condense the first Spiritual Seal, you only need to follow the pattern for the rest.
It was no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of condensing the first Spiritual Seal was absolutely greater than condensing hundreds later on.
Many people are unable to become Spiritual Array Masters their entire lives because they fail at this stage of condensing the Spiritual Seal. In a way, the first step of condensing a Spiritual Seal is just like the Dou Zhi Qi stage.
Although some people practice at different speeds during the Dou Zhi Qi stage, there is no lack of those who are slow initially but eventually overtake those who were fast!
The same logic applied to condensing the first Spiritual Seal.
At this stage, it only shows whether you are qualified to become a Spiritual Array Master; it does not represent your absolute talent!
Of course, generally speaking, if you practice quickly during the Dou Zhi Qi stage or spend a short time condensing the first Spiritual Seal, your talent won't be bad.
To put it bluntly, in this special stage, practicing quickly proves your talent is strong, but practicing slowly doesn't mean your talent is poor!
Because it was his first time encountering something like a Spiritual Seal, Xiao Lin's speed of condensing it, in Old Man Zhen's view, wasn't actually among the fast category. But he didn't negate Xiao Lin's talent in formations because of it.
After all, this was a special stage!
"As your Master, let me help you one last time!"
Seeing Xiao Lin hit a bottleneck while condensing the first Spiritual Seal, Old Man Zhen took action once again. As his words fell, he merged every last bit of his remaining Soul Power into Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness.
With Old Man Zhen's help, the Spiritual Seal that Xiao Lin had already half-condensed began to form the remaining half at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Before long, a Spiritual Seal emitting a pure white glow floated within Xiao Lin's sea of consciousness.
"I succeeded!"
At this moment, the excitement and joy in Xiao Lin's heart could no longer be expressed in words.
At the same time, when Xiao Lin successfully condensed the first Spiritual Seal, it meant that from now on, he could call himself a noble Spiritual Array Master!
In the future, once Xiao Lin condensed a sufficient number of Spiritual Seals, he would be able to arrange a heaven-shaking, earth-shaking grand formation with just a wave of his hand. This had always been his dream!
However, thinking of how a force had suddenly helped him at the final moment of condensing the Spiritual Seal, Xiao Lin instantly realized something—
