Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 589 Five Elements Sect_1

”Teacher, with this Five Element Ultimate Formation being so important, will they really let me learn it?”

Mo Hua asked with worry.

Mr. Zhuang calmly said, ”They wouldnʼt dare not to let you learn!”

Mo Hua was startled and couldnʼt help asking,

”Teacher, do you have some kind of connection with the Five Elements Sect?”

Mr. Zhuangʼs gaze seemed distant, ”Letʼs say there is...”

Mo Huaʼs face was filled with curiosity.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were also looking at Mr. Zhuang. Experience tales at

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, ”Thereʼs no harm in telling you...”

”Precisely speaking, itʼs not just me who has a connection with them, but our entire sect has some connections with the Five Elements Sect...”

”Our sect?”

Mo Hua was somewhat astonished, then asked softly, ”Teacher, do we still have a sect?”

”Yes.”

”What is it?” Mo Hua was very curious.

Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, speaking with a cryptic look, ”Itʼs declined, better left unsaid.”

Mo Hua sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Mr. Zhuangʼs eyes hid different emotions as he continued,

”The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect had a deep connection with our lineage.”

”Our sectʼs Ancestral Master once saved the Five Elements Sect from a desperate situation.”

”Out of gratitude for this debt, they imparted the Ultimate Formation of the Five Elements Sect to us.”

”Since then, each generation of disciples from our sect has been able to study the Five Element Ultimate Formation at the Five Elements Sect, but the time was limited to only seven days.”

”Moreover, this formation is the foundation of the Five Elements Sectʼs creation; the Ancestral Master also didnʼt wish to take advantage of them and thus decreed that only Qi Refinement disciples could comprehend this formation...”

Listening, Mo Hua nodded again and again, ”Our Ancestral Master and the elders of the Five Elements Sect were both righteous, making concessions and not taking undue advantage.”

Mr. Zhuang spoke with a smile that wasnʼt quite a smile, ”Thatʼs only the surface.”

Mo Hua was taken aback, ”The surface?”

Mr. Zhuang nodded, ”This story, I heard it from my master. At first, I had no doubts, but after coming into contact with the Five Elements Sect, I realized that things werenʼt as they seemed.”

”In fact, this was a transaction.”

”A transaction...”

Mo Hua opened his mouth slightly, thought for a moment, and then realized, expressing disbelief, ”Could it be that our Ancestral Master wanted the Ultimate Formation of the Five Elements Sect and used this as leverage to save them?”

”And the Five Elements Sect, for the survival of their sect, had no choice but to agree?”

Mr. Zhuang nodded, ”Indeed, it was a transaction, the Five Elements Sectʼs exchange of the Ultimate Formation for survival.”

Mr. Zhuang then cautioned Mo Hua,

”The affairs of the world are hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and one shouldnʼt completely believe the words of one side, even if the speaker is the Ancestral Master of our Sect.”

”The Ancestral Master also had personal desires and would speak favorably for themselves.”

”This matter, in the Five Elements Sect, is told in another way.”

”In the eyes of the Five Elements Sect, it was our Ancestral Master who took advantage of their plight to make an excessive demand, and only then did they have to hand over their Sect Protecting Ultimate Formation.”

”The Five Elements Sect was dissatisfied with this.”

”Therefore, the Five Elements Sect also made a condition...”

Mo Huaʼs eyes shone slightly, ”Is it that one can only learn it during the Qi Refinement state?”

Mr. Zhuang nodded, ”Yes.”

”At the Qi-refining Realm, one can at most become a first-grade Formation Master; even if one learns it, they can only reach first-grade. If a first-grade Ultimate Formation were leaked, it would have some impact but not be too serious.”

”Without this restriction, any number of high-grade Formation Masters from the ancestors of our Sect could easily unveil the entire foundation of the Five Elements Sect.”

”Moreover, this Five Elements Formation, with its Thirteen Stripes at first-grade, is extremely difficult to learn.”

”Foundation Establishment might still have a chance to master it, but at the Qi Refinement level, it is almost impossible.”

”With these conditions, the Five Elements Sect would reluctantly agree to the Ancestral Masterʼs demands.”

”The Ancestral Master didnʼt think too much about it.”

”Being able to learn the Sect Protecting Ultimate Formation was good enough; the Five Elements Sect having these conditions was reasonable, so he didnʼt haggle.”

”In the Ancestral Masterʼs estimation, our faction, priding itself on Formations, had innumerable geniuses. To find a disciple in the Qi-refining Realm who could master the Five Element Ultimate Formation shouldnʼt be too easy, but neither should it be too hard...”

”But...”

Mr. Zhuangʼs expression became subtle.

”The Ancestral Master was mistaken.”

”This was no ordinary first-grade Ultimate Formation.”

”Thirteen Stripes at first-grade far exceed the nine Divine Sense patterns typical of the Qi-refining Realm.”

”In reality, when one goes to study, the Five Elements Sect would also create all sorts of obstacles.”

”Thus, to this day, none of the Proud Sons of Heaven from our lineage have managed to learn this Five Element Ultimate Formation from the Five Elements Sect...”

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua, ”So, this burden has fallen on your shoulders.”

Mo Hua instantly felt the weight on his slight shoulders.

He said weakly, ”Teacher, what if I also fail to learn it?”

Mr. Zhuang said, ”This formation is crucial to you, and of course, you must learn it if you can.”

”However, if you really canʼt learn it, thereʼs nothing to be done.”

Mr. Zhuang consoled, ”Do your best, and if you canʼt learn it, donʼt worry—there will always be a way...”

”Hmm...” Mo Hua nodded.

Having said this, Mo Hua frowned and lowered his head, lost in thought.

Mr. Zhuang asked, ”What are you thinking about now?”

Mo Hua carefully thought about his wording,

”Was our Ancestral Master, in doing so, taking advantage of a disaster? Surely the Five Elements Sect held some grudges...”

Coveting their Ultimate Formation, seizing the opportunity during the Five Elements Sectʼs crisis to make demands, thus forcing the Five Elements Sect to agree to the transaction, using the Sect Protecting Ultimate Formation to negotiate for a chance at survival.
