The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 738 -572 Drawing Ground into Formation_1

Mo Hua knew clearly in his heart that he only possessed a lower-middle-grade Small Five Elements Spiritual Root, and although he had a Sect-Entering Order for his journey to the Qian Learning State Boundary to seek knowledge, it was not guaranteed to be smooth sailing. There would inevitably be some bumps and obstacles.

Nevertheless, it was imperative to go to Qian State.

The path of Tao Cultivation was never easy.

Meet the soldier head-on when he comes, cover with soil when water flows, do not fear setbacks, and advance valiantly. If one hesitates out of fear, they will surely lose their Taoist Heart and no longer make progress.

And since he was going to the Qian Learning State Boundary, he must be well-prepared.

In the Qian Learning State Boundary, Sects abound, and it is a gathering place for the Proud Sons of Heaven.

...

Mo Hua was a Loose Cultivator without a notable origin or background, and his Spiritual Root wasn’t exceptional. If he really wanted to join a Sect in Qian State, he would inevitably face cold looks, be underestimated, and be ostracized.

With an inherently frail body unable to undergo Body Refinement and a lower-middle-grade Spiritual Root with weak Spiritual Power, a head-on confrontation would be extremely disadvantageous.

Therefore, he needed to take a different approach…

Mo Hua remembered his master’s admonitions:

”In the Cultivation World of the Nine States, geniuses emerge in great numbers

”You specialize in offensive cultivation, making you an enemy to these geniuses; they will not show you any kindness.”

”But by assisting in offensive strategies, you can help them compete with other geniuses, and they will instead have to take your feelings into account.”

”The stronger your means of assisting them, the less they dare to offend you.”

”This way, even without a Noble Clan, any clan can become a force that helps you

”Without a Sect, any Sect can become your background.”

”Among the profit-minded and opportunistic forces of Tao Cultivation, amidst the numerous geniuses with exceptional Spiritual Roots and proficient in Cultivation Techniques and Taoist Skills, you too will have a place and not be looked down upon!”

Mo Hua touched his chin thoughtfully:

”Assisting in offense… means amplifying Spiritual Power, also known as the Five Elements Spirit Formation.”

The Five Element Ultimate Formation obtained from the Five Elements Sect is the basis for his stance among the numerous genius-filled Cultivation Sects of Qian State… Ṙå𐌽Ò𐌱Ě𝒮

He doesn’t need to compete with the geniuses to be supreme.

His Spiritual Root aptitude does not allow him to engage in such attention-grabbing behavior.

As long as he can establish himself in the Academic World of Qian State, avoid being bullied, cultivate properly, and learn Formation thoroughly to compensate for his weaknesses; laying a solid foundation for forming his Golden Core and the subsequent Feather Transformation is good enough.

Five Elements Spirit Formation!

Spiritual Power amplification, assistance in offense!

As long as he possesses the Five Element Ultimate Formation with the ability to assist in offense, even if he is not a Proud Son of Heaven himself, other geniuses will have to consider his opinion.

Mo Hua nodded to himself.

However, the Five Elements Spirit Formation…

Needs a new name.

This was also instructed by his master previously.

In the Qian Learning State Boundary with its profound heritage, and being a Second-Grade state boundary, naturally, it is not lacking in Great Cultivators with high cultivation levels, extensive experience, and broad knowledge.

The name Five Elements Spirit Formation would reveal its origins to them immediately upon hearing it.

The fact that he had inherited the tradition of the Five Elements Sect would likely also be unable to escape their notice.

And his master’s ultimate entrapment took place in the Five Elements Sect. The inquisitive could probably trace the connection between him and his master.

This would be troublesome.

Therefore, the name had to be changed.

After pondering for a long time, Mo Hua decided to rename the Five Elements Spirit Formation as the Five Elements “Source” Formation.

If anyone asked about its origins, he would claim as his own discovery.

If anyone asked how he learned it, he would say he learned it in a confused state.

If anyone didn’t believe it and persisted in inquiring, he would have to reluctantly admit that he was a Formation Genius that appeared only once in a hundred years…

After all, Qian State should be no stranger to geniuses…

Mo Hua thought to himself.

Five Elements Source Formation.

Born from the Five Elements Source Pattern, it involves the essence of the Five Elements and amplifies the Five Elements’ Spiritual Power.

After learning the Second-Grade Formation, Mo Hua had made comparisons. All First-Grade Ultimate Formations were effective for Foundation Building Cultivators, and the Formation effects didn’t diminish significantly compared to Second-Grade Formations.

The First-Grade Five Elements Source Formation was no exception.

Mo Hua contemplated and speculated that the reason might be related to the number of Formation Patterns.

While the Ultimate Formation is classified as First-Grade, the number of Formation Patterns is within the scope of Second-Grade Formations.

Therefore, the Ultimate Formation is applicable in the Foundation Establishment Realm as well.

But this presented another issue.

Second-Grade Formation Patterns, derived from the fusion and transformation of two First-Grade Patterns, require twice the Divine Sense of First-Grade Patterns.

If so, the Divine Sense required for the same number of Patterns in a First-Grade Ultimate Formation should only be half that of a Second-Grade Formation.

Because the First-Grade Ultimate Formation uses First-Grade Patterns.

And Second-Grade Formations use Second-Grade Patterns.

But in practice, Mo Hua found that the Divine Sense consumed by a First-Grade Ultimate Formation was not less than that of a Second-Grade Formation with the same number of Patterns.

Mo Hua was puzzled.

Why?

Where was the extra Divine Sense consumed by the Ultimate Formation being “wasted”?

With Mr. Zhuang not around, Mo Hua encountered problems that he had to solve on his own.

After long contemplation, Mo Hua had some clues.

If his conjecture was correct, the additional Divine Sense consumed by the Ultimate Formation was used to comprehend, visualize, or connect with a certain type of Great Dao Law, or a powerful Taoist Meaning.

Half of the Divine Sense spent on drawing an Ultimate Formation was dedicated to the Patterns, the other half to the Laws.

That’s why Ultimate Formations were unique and so difficult to execute…

That’s why a First-Grade Ultimate Formation could almost compare with a Second-Grade Formation, and its effect did not wane…

”The Great Dao is truly relatively fair; although Ultimate Formations are difficult, they hold their value for the challenge

Mo Hua silently reflected.

With the Five Elements Source Formation amplifying the power of Spells, Mo Hua had also tried it.

The only offensive Spell Mo Hua knew was the Fireball Technique.

The Fireball Technique is a Fire-type Spell that needs the Fire Origin Formation for amplification.
