By using the Gathering Spirit Array to concentrate spiritual energy into several times its external amount, part of the energy is supplied to operate the Magic Circle, while another part is compressed to increase its concentration to meet the standards required to drive the Magic Circle forward. This seems quite feasible; I must be a genius! However, there’s still one question: why has no one done such a simple thing until now? No, it can’t be that simple; I need to research it further. Mo Wen muttered to himself while scribbling on the walls of the Cave.
The Gathering Spirit Array is relatively simple within the Magic Circle, but its complexity depends on the actual situation. For instance, the difference between a threefold Gathering Spirit Array and a twofold one is significant. The tenfold Gathering Spirit Array described in Old Lu's texts is just as complex as those advanced Magic Circles. Mo Wen had grand ambitions; what he needed was an adjustable level Gathering Spirit Array. Of course, adjusting the level of the array isn’t particularly difficult; one just needs to refine it at the highest level when increasing the array's elements and then reduce the number of elements. Such Magic Circles are common in assisting cultivation. However, what Mo Wen envisioned was not such a Magic Circle; he needed to achieve this function without moving the array's elements and also shrink this originally large Magic Circle into a small space. Although his idea was brilliant, figuring out how to implement it became a troubling dilemma for him, as he found no such method in the texts he had consulted.

"Are you trying to break free from your cocoon and become a butterfly?" In the center of the cave, Xiao Hei, who had been curled up on the ground, had vanished, replaced by an oval-shaped stone. The shape reminded Mo Wen of the Beggar's Chicken he had made for Old Lu; it looked just like that when it was pulled out from the fire pit. He could sense no trace of Xiao Hei within the stone. If it weren't for the surrounding spiritual energy continuously gathering towards it, he would have thought Xiao Hei was already done.
"Sigh, humans are more infuriating than beasts." He sighed and turned to leave; there was nothing else he could do but wait. Fortunately, the surrounding spiritual energy had calmed down significantly compared to before. Old Qilin hadn’t told him what Xiao Hei's metamorphosis would look like or what scenes he would experience, so he couldn’t determine what stage Xiao Hei had reached. The texts he studied contained only vague descriptions about Divine Beasts' metamorphosis. This was understandable; after all, not everyone has the opportunity to witness a Beast obtaining its Bloodline and transforming into a Divine Beast firsthand. If he were to write a book titled "Techniques for Raising Divine Beasts," it would surely cause a sensation in the world.
"Pah! That thought is too sordid." Thinking about Xiao Hei in the Stone Egg becoming known as the King of Beasts, if he really wrote such a book—regardless of whether people in this world would chase him down for it—the beast clan would definitely not allow his existence. According to what Old Lu told him, powerful and intelligent beasts exist in this world; these creatures often hide in remote places and occasionally transform into human forms to enter human society, making their identities hard to discern. Perhaps some strong individual in this world is actually from the beast clan. Of course, given his relationship with Xiao Hei, engaging in mischief for entertainment is still acceptable; writing a book is out of the question.
Returning to his Cave, Mo Wen found that he had already mastered the Kung Fu copy given by Old Qilin. As for its effectiveness, he couldn't verify it; after all, Kung Fu that even Divine Beasts cherish must be extraordinary. This was Mo Wen's belief. From what he understood, both Divine Beasts and Demon Beasts do not require Kung Fu for their cultivation; their greatest reliance lies in their innate talent and Bloodline. As people often say about dragon roars and tiger howls being innate abilities—if a tiger cannot roar like one, it would certainly be an oddity—this is precisely why Divine Beasts are uninterested in human cultivation methods and Kung Fu. Thus, it can be seen that this Kung Fu piece he named "Locking Divine Skill" must be profound. With this thought in mind, he became even more interested in that cryptic original text and immediately began his research on it.
