Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 712: Chapter 564 Li Departure_2

“Divine Sense is the most troublesome…”

“This involves Heavenly secrets and karma…”

Bai Qiancheng’s face was pale, “Is there really not the slightest chance…?”

True Man Situ shook his head, “These matters, just like becoming immortal…”

“Is there a chance to become immortal? Certainly, but in the vast Nine States, amidst the myriad of living beings, for tens of thousands of years, not one has attained immortality…”

“There is a chance, but it is so remote that it’s almost the same as having none…”

Bai Qiancheng sighed.

True Man Situ hesitated for a moment before offering some advice, “What I am about to say, True Man Bai… you might not like to hear…”

Bai Qiancheng was startled, “Please speak, senior…”

True Man Situ measured his words, “Now, Mr. Zhuang has just ‘died’…”

True Man Situ paused here, feeling that it wasn’t quite right.

To say “dead,” but in fact there was still a glimmer of life, yet to say “not dead,” was in reality almost the same as being dead…

“Mr. Zhuang’s life is hanging by a thread…”

True Man Situ changed his expression and then continued, “You have lost your senior brother, and your heart is in mourning, but this grief is only temporary.”

“You wish to save Mr. Zhuang, but this sentiment… it is also just for a moment… as time goes by, the emotions will fade…”

True Man Situ sighed deeply like one who had been through it all:

“Cultivators live long lives, and the fleeting time is enough to erase all regrets and pain; people go on living until they become numb, and there is nothing they can’t let go of…”

“So…” True Man Situ sighed, “True Man Bai, you should still cultivate yourself, take care of your own affairs, and do not forcefully pursue the rest…”

Bai Qiancheng was somewhat silent.

She knew that True Man Situ was right.

In her life, she had also felt regret and pain, and thought life was not worth clinging to, but as long as she persevered through the years and crossed that threshold…

As time passed, the once sharp pain and setbacks faded, like healed scars, unsightly but no longer painful.

Just like her senior brother…

Her heart ached now, but over time, perhaps she too would become numb and forget…

Bai Qiancheng pursed her lips, “What if I insist on saving him?”

True Man Situ frowned, “It will be very difficult then…”

“Mr. Zhuang’s karma is huge, he has too many enemies, and there are intertwined interests…”

“In this world, how many people want Mr. Zhuang dead? Neither the Taoist Court nor the Demon Sect would probably want to save him.”

“If you try to save him, you will encounter endless obstacles.”

“To ‘resurrect the dead’… It’s very difficult, you need a vast number of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Objects, and more importantly, persistent, unwavering determination. Along the way, you will be tormented and in pain, accompanied by unceasing hope and despair. It’s very hard to endure…”

“It requires an extremely tenacious Taoist Heart to remain true to your original intent and persevere…”

“And even that… is not enough.”

“Even if the body is revived, if the Heavenly secret is dead, he still cannot live…”

“One must have a Formation imbued with the Great Dao of life and death to possibly mend the lost Heavenly secret of Mr. Zhuang and exchange it for a glimmer of life…”

“To covertly alter Yin and Yang, to seize creation, to reverse life and death…”

“Such Formation Diagrams are extremely profound, extremely powerful, and extremely ancient, mostly obliterated in Ancient Daoist sites or the forbidden realms of extinct cultivators. Where will you find a Formation Diagram?”

“Even if you have a Formation Diagram, who can learn it?”

“Not learnable…”

“Even if it’s learned, who has the ability to truly construct it?”

True Man Situ’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he lamented sincerely:

“Common folk often say ‘Formation is vast and profound,’ but only those of us who truly delve deep into our study of Formation truly understand just how vast and profound it is!”

“There are mountains beyond mountains, skies beyond skies.”

“But beyond those skies, there are still unreachable heavens…”

“Some Formations in this world are so complex and harsh to the extreme that they are simply not intended for ‘humans’ to learn…”

A look of despair even surfaced on True Man Situ’s aged face.

…

Bai Qiancheng also looked terrified, but after a moment of silence, she still clenched her teeth and obstinately said:

“I will not give up!”

True Man Situ sighed and nodded his head.

Whether she truly wouldn’t give up or not, he had said all he needed to say and would not speak further.

Mo Hua, who had been lying on the side, had heard everything.

“To covertly alter Yin and Yang, to seize creation, to reverse life and death…”

He memorized this phrase in his heart.

As the sky gradually lightened, True Man Situ and the uncle master finished discussing matters and left.

Mo Hua opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

He looked once more at Mr. Zhuang, memorized the appearance of his master, and made a secret decision.

“If others can’t save my master, I will save him!”

“If others can’t learn the Formation, I will learn it!”

“Even if everyone in this world wants my master dead, I will ensure that my master is revived and continues to live well!”

Mo Hua’s youthful face was serious, his gaze resolute, as he engraved this vow deep within his Taoist Heart.

The rising sun cast its light on the master and disciple.

Mo Hua murmured:

“Master, you just sleep for a while…”

“When the time comes, I’ll call you…”

…

Three days later, Bai Qiancheng was about to leave.

She was to take away Mr. Zhuang, locked in the thin line between karma and life or death, and also to bring Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi back to the Bai Family.

Bai Zixi then approached Bai Qiancheng, with a resolute gaze:

“Mother, I want to take little junior brother back to the Bai Family…”

Bai Zisheng also nodded, “Mother, please take Mo Hua back with you…”

Bai Qiancheng’s expression was somewhat indifferent, “Why?”
