Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 593 Chief Elder_2

”Our Five Elements Sect has stopped establishing our reputation with Formations, instead, we are now known for Earth and Wood.”

”But by doing so, the mastery over Formations within the entire Five Elements Sect has plummeted dramatically!”

”Now, letʼs not even talk about a Second Grade Formation Master, being able to have a few First Grade Formation Masters is already quite an achievement…”

Sect Leader Liao said solemnly:

”The juniors also deeply agree with this concern and have already thought of ways to solve it.”

”The Sect has decided to rectify the atmosphere, reform the cultivation industry, encourage disciples to delve into Formation Study, cultivate Formation Masters, and ensure that the Five Elements Sect once again becomes a great sect of Formations…”

Sect Leader Liao spoke sincerely.

However, the Chief Elderʼs face remained calm, even somewhat indifferent.

These platitudes had been spoken for over a hundred years.

Interests are deeply entrenched, and touching one thing affects the whole Sect; no one dares to take action.

The Sectʼs disciples have scattered Taoist Hearts; expecting them to go through hardship and relearn Formations is like daydreaming.

The reality of self-interest is not easily changed.

The atmosphere surrounding Formations, being related to the Taoist Heart, once corrupted, is extremely difficult to rectify.

And in all these years, besides myself, the Chief Elder, the one who has benefited the most from this, is none other than the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect.

The knife to kill the pig is held by the pig itself.

How could this flesh possibly be sliced away.

The Chief Elder said indifferently:

”This isnʼt something that can be resolved overnight…”

”The immediate priority is to find a way to protect the inheritance of our Five Elements Sect.”

”Especially the core of our Sectʼs establishment, the Five Elements Spirit Formation, must not be passed on to outsiders!”

The Chief Elderʼs gaze turned icy:

”This Ultimate Formation must be firmly held in our hands, monopolized by our Five Elements Sect.”

”It doesnʼt matter if we cannot learn it, but outside of the Five Elements Sect, there cannot be anyone who learns it, even if it were to decay, it could only decay within our Five Elements Sect!”

”Even if it is lost, it must not fall into the hands of others.” Experience new tales on

”Otherwise, it would surely undermine the very foundation of our Five Elements Sect!”

Sect Leader Liaoʼs eyes lit up, ”The Chief Elder is far-sighted and has considered well!”

This flattery was neither painful nor itchy.

The Chief Elderʼs expression was noncommittal.

Sect Leader Liao pondered for a moment before saying:

”However, this Formation is extremely difficult in itself; over the years, only a few people in our Five Elements Sect have managed to learn it, most of whom were the former Elders.”

”Since the former Sect Leader passed away, no disciple among the later generations has truly mastered this Five Elements Spirit Formation.”

”If our disciples from the Five Elements Sect struggle with it, can these outsiders really learn it?”

A flicker of apprehension crossed the Chief Elderʼs gaze.

”They can!”

Sect Leader Liao showed a hint of surprise.

The Chief Elderʼs eyebrows twitched, ”You donʼt know, that man surnamed Zhuang nearly succeeded in learning the Five Elements Spirit Formation!”

Sect Leader Liao looked shocked, ”How could that be possible?”

The Chief Elder, recalling the past, was still shaken:

”Back then, I was just an ordinary disciple, witnessing that manʼs exceptional talent and extraordinary brilliance. In front of the Sect Leader and all the Elders of the Five Elements Sect, he started to piece together the Formation Patterns of the Five Elements Spirit Formation, discerning its Formation Pivot, gradually penetrating the Formations of the Five Elements Spirit Formation…”

”He was just a bit short of truly mastering it; if not for…”

If not for…

The Sect Leader and Elders of that time had interfered; otherwise, he really would have mastered it…

The Chief Elderʼs gaze became intense as he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Sect Leader Liao still found it hard to believe, ”Qi Refinement?”

”Qi Refinement!”

Sect Leader Liao frowned, ”The Five Elements Spirit Formation, First Grade with Thirteen Stripes, could he really have the Divine Sense of Thirteen Stripes at the Qi Refinement Realm? Thatʼs impossible…”

The Chief Elder sighed, ”His Divine Sense wasnʼt at Thirteen Stripes, but he almost learned it…”

Sect Leader Liao found it inconceivable:

”With insufficient Divine Sense, he could learn this Formation?”

The Chief Elder said solemnly:

”Their lineage possesses a heritage that allows them to comprehend the Formation Method Origin Stream. Mastering one thing is mastering everything; even if his Divine Sense is insufficient, he can still comprehend some Formations that they would not usually grasp!”

Sect Leader Liao was dumbstruck, ”Such a heritage exists?”

The Chief Elderʼs expression was one of reverence:

”This is among the very top tier of legacies within the Formations, requiring exceedingly high comprehension and supreme spiritual roots. Itʼs not something ordinary cultivators can learn, let alone master.”

”And he was the best among all the disciples of his generation.”

”Thatʼs why, being only at the Qi-refining Realm, he could break the norm to comprehend, and he almost grasped the Five Elements Spirit Formation that is First Grade with Thirteen Stripes!”

The Chief Elder lamented:

”Although our Five Elements Spirit Formation is extremely rare in our Five Elements Sect, when compared to such truly secret and unimparted knowledge, it still falls short…”

Sect Leader Liao lowered his head, with greed and desire in his eyes.

But he couldnʼt hide his little ambition from the Chief Elder.

The Chief Elderʼs face darkened as he said icily:

”Do not harbor ill intentions, their lineage, no matter how down and out, is not something we can afford to provoke!”

Sect Leader Liaoʼs heart chilled as he bowed in agreement.

Yet there was still some skepticism in his gaze.

Sect Leader Liao thought for a moment and then said:

”Chief Elder, but this time, it isnʼt him learning it… He came here probably to have his disciples learn. Do we need to be so cautious?”

The Chief Elder said lightly: ”Better safe than sorry.”

Sect Leader Liao nodded, ”What the Chief Elder says is true…”

He recalled the scene at the mountain gate and remarked:

”Among his disciples, that Junior Formation Master, who looks to be only about a dozen years old, is already a First Grade Formation Master with confirmed assessment, truly gifted...”

”Who knows where he found such a promising disciple…”

Why canʼt our Five Elements Sect have one?
