Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 914: Chapter 623: Unofficially Transmitting_4

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but nod, feeling that Elder Master Xun’s words made a lot of sense.

“Do not underestimate the Formation talents of Qian State!”

Mo Hua sincerely said, “The gentleman is right, there are heavens beyond this heaven, and there are people beyond ourselves. The disciple understands this well!”

Elder Master Xun silently glanced at Mo Hua, thinking to himself that others might say that, but you yourself shouldn’t.

The heaven beyond might very well be someone like you…

But he couldn’t say that out loud.

After thinking for a bit, Elder Master Xun sighed and added,

“There is one more important point…”

“Even if you have the ability for assessment, Taoist Court’s assessment is contingent on slots and recommendations; given your young age and limited experience, recommending you is not that convenient…”

“The assessment process is a rather rigid test with a complicated set of procedures that you must learn; it’s standard and formulaic, but at the same time impractical and of no real substance…”

“It will waste a great deal of time and, to speak the truth, it will not enhance your Formation standards.”

“Your task at present should still be to study Formations, in earnest, to improve yourself. Do not waste time on these rigid, test-oriented things.”

“When your achievements are high enough in the future and you have the need, then you can consider the matter of assessment.”

“Before the absolute power of Formation skills, those trivial, test-oriented thresholds will no longer be worth mentioning…”

Mo Hua nodded continuously as he listened.

But at the same time, he felt a hint of concern, “Elder Master, if I don’t get assessed, I can’t take on Second Grade Formation tasks, and accumulating Merit Points will be very slow…”

In reality, his rate of accumulating Merit Points was already not slow.

But he wanted to be even faster…

“Merit Points, hmm…”

Elder Master Xun stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

That was indeed a problem.

Something he had overlooked previously.

With Mo Hua’s Sixteen Patterns Divine Sense, naturally, he should learn the Sixteen Patterns Formation.

But the Merit Points needed to exchange for Sixteen Patterns Formations were not few; expecting him to tackle those “entry-level” tasks and accumulate points bit by bit would probably take ages.

This would significantly hinder Mo Hua’s progress in learning Formations.

That went against his original intention.

Having Mo Hua accumulate Merit Points was meant to toughen him up, get to know his peers, help one another, and foster a sense of honor within the Sect, not to deliberately make things difficult for him.

After some contemplation, Elder Master Xun said,

“Don’t worry, I’ll adjust your permissions; within Taixu Gate, you are a Second Grade Formation Master.”

Mo Hua was stunned.

Could this really be done…

Mo Hua asked quietly, “You change it to Second Grade, and that’s it?”

“Of course…” Elder Master Xun said, “Once you’ve been assessed, and the Sect acknowledges you, you’ll be granted corresponding permissions; even though you haven’t been assessed, my approval can still grant you permissions…”

“Sect permissions are a type of authorization.”

“With the authorization, you can take on tasks.”

“Otherwise, if you were to take on a Second Grade Formation task, would you really need to show a Heaven Shu Ring of Second Grade?”

“Oh.”

Mo Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.

“Hand me your Taixu Token…”

Mo Hua passed the Taixu Token to Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun took the Taixu Token without a second thought and began altering the Token’s permissions right in front of Mo Hua…

Mo Hua, who stood to one side and watched, suddenly froze.

Surprise and amazement surged in his heart.

Granting permissions was simple and quick, but changing permissions was another matter entirely.

Had it been before, Mo Hua wouldn’t have understood.

But now it was different; he had learned the Original Magnet Formation and used Tricky Calculation to amplify the Calculation, having perceived the essence between Magnetic Patterns—the Secondary Thunder Pattern.

He had even accumulated a “Secondary Thunder Pattern Library” and had used Secondary Thunder Patterns to resolve Sealing Patterns and Secret Patterns.

Now, he could clearly sense…

The so-called “modification of permissions” was essentially Elder Master Xun, using a very special kind of Secondary Thunder Pattern to reverse-effect the Formation, altering the double-layered Magnetic Patterns, thus modifying the underlying structure of the Taixu Token, changing his permissions!!

Mo Hua was stunned.

This feeling was like…

Watching someone right in front of you use a glittering key, personally demonstrating how to unlock a treasure trove hidden away…
