Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 873 612: Beacon Fire Original Magnet

Elemental Magnetic Induction, Beacon Fire Communications.

The ”Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation,” valued at over eight hundred merit points and classified as Second Rank Sixteen Patterns, utilized the Theory of Thunder Magnetism. Through the construction of the Formation Pivot system, it employed Formation Patterns for communication, a type of Bagua Formation Method.

It was also the first Prime Magnetic Formation from the Mo Hua studies.

At this moment, every cultivator within Taixu Gate, and indeed across all sects of the Qian Xue State Boundary, including the hidden demon cultivators and Demon Path factions, remained oblivious...

The small hands of Mo Hua had opened a door for himself, but what kind of door?

Inside Taixu Gate, an ”obscure” sect disciple had begun learning the profound Thunder Magnetism Formation.

Mo Hua unfolded the Yuan Magnetic Array Map and glanced at it.

This was an entirely foreign Formation Diagram to him.

Whether it was the Formation Patterns, Formation Pivot, or the construction of the Formation Eye, they all differed greatly from the Five Elements and some Eight Trigrams formation methods he had learned before.

Even as part of the Primordial Magnet Formation, its Formation Patterns were quite different from those he had encountered in the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation.

This was an orthodox Thunder Magnetism Formation Method.

Mo Huaʼs spirits lifted, as he began to immerse himself fully in studying the Formation Diagram, Formation Explanation, and some of the obscure annotations.

As he was learning, Mo Hua was suddenly taken aback and furrowed his brows.

He was a bit... perplexed...

Clearly, it was a formation, yet there were two sets of Formation Diagrams, and both sets possessed Sixteen Patterns...

The structures of these two sets of Formation Diagrams were almost identical, yet every detail was different.

Furthermore, it didnʼt seem like a Compound Formation.

A Compound Formation integrates multiple formations into one, coordinating and triggering the effects of the formations.

However, the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation, this group of formations, was interrelated yet completely independent from each other...

Mo Hua didnʼt quite understand. Recalling Elder Master Xunʼs teaching and combining it with the Formation Explanation, he pondered for a long time before grasping some understanding.

These two sets of Formation Diagrams were what Elder Master Xun had referred to as ”Fixed Pattern Formation Diagrams” for fixed formations and ”Unfixed Formation Patterns” for variable formations.

Using the Fixed Formation Pattern as the base, Thunder Magnetic Induction was employed to influence the Unfixed Formation Patterns, altering the Magnetic Ink and manifesting text and imagery.

Hence, these two sets of Formation Diagrams were essential for ”induction” and indispensable from one another.

The reason there were two sets was that this formation was not meant for a sole Formation Master to study; it required two, or even a group of Formation Masters, working together to construct the imagery.

There was only one Fixed Pattern Formation Diagram.

But there could be multiple Unfixed Pattern Formation Diagrams.

Mo Hua didnʼt mind; his Divine Sense was strong and with the Taoist Stele allowing him to trace back his Divine Consciousness, he could learn both the fixed and unfixed patterns.

Nevertheless, the Formation Patterns of Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation were still too varied, and compared to the usual Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation Patterns, they seemed more abstract, which slowed down Mo Huaʼs learning process somewhat.

After two full days, Mo Hua managed to memorize the Formation Diagram completely.

After nightfall, Mo Hua practiced on the Taoist Stele.

He began with the Fixed Formation Patterns, then moved on to the Unfixed Formation Patterns before integrating both. Through the Formation Pivot, he elicited Thunder Magnetic Induction to form a complete Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation.

The practice didnʼt go smoothly at first.

Unfamiliar with the penmanship, he encountered many hitches while drawing.

After a few days of practice, Mo Hua became much more proficient, drawing the Fixed Formation Patterns without any errors, and even though the Unfixed Formation Patterns changed too much, he could approximate them.

Then, it was time to apply what he had learned.

Begrudgingly, Mo Hua spent sixty merit points to exchange for a small bottle of Magnetic Ink, and roughly set up his own system for Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet communicative array on a simple Array Plate.

He based it on the Fixed Yuan Magnet Formation, with the Unfixed Yuan Magnet Formation serving as the surface layer and Magnetic Ink as the manifesting layer.

Mo Hua transmitted his Divine Sense into the Fixed Formation Patterns, which through Thunder Magnetic Induction, affected the Unfixed Formation Patterns, leading to variations in the Formation Patterns.

Subsequently, the changes in the Unfixed Formation Patterns caused the Magnetic Ink to respond and display text.

After the application logic of this set of formations, that puddle of Magnetic Ink, which cost Mo Hua sixty merit points and was exceedingly precious, gradually materialized his own name on top of the Array Plate:

”Mo Hua.”

It was a success!

Mo Hua was thrilled, but then, he felt a sense of emptiness.

Touching his chin, Mo Hua fell into contemplation:

Although it was a success...

What use could this thing actually have?

It appeared simple, but the principle behind the formation was actually quite complex.

Although it seemed complex, its functionality appeared quite simple...

Overall, the effect seemed no different from writing his name with Divine Consciousness Controlled Ink.

Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation... was that all?

”This formation should be used for communication, but how does it convey messages?”

Mo Hua had flipped through the Formation Explanation of the ”Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation” several times and had not found any information on communication, which was somewhat disappointing.

The Formation Diagram was just that, a diagram, and it did not include any other kind of legacy.

Mo Hua felt helpless.

They were too stingy...

At least some explanation could give him a direction.

Mo Hua thought for a long time, still clueless. He could only guess that it probably had something to do with the Formation Pivot, but what that was precisely, he couldnʼt figure out in a short period.

Mo Hua thought it over and eventually decided to consult Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun was leisurely sipping tea and was astonished at the question, ”Youʼve learned the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation?”

Mo Hua sheepishly replied, ”Iʼm just a bit curious...”

He had just started learning and didnʼt feel quite right saying he had mastered it.

Elder Master Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought as much...

How could it be so quick? After all, it was a Sixteen Patterns formation, and an obscure Thunder Magnetism one at that...

Elder Master Xun didnʼt take much notice, as Mo Hua frequently asked him some topics that seemed ”overly ambitious.”
