Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2050  Chapter 979: Ultimate Formation_3

He could only continue to study further.

Mo Hua took out an ancient piece of parchment from the Storage Ring with great care.

On the parchment, there were ancient, obscure patterns drawn, almost directly related to the First Grade Reversed Spirit Formation.

Second Grade Twenty Patterns, Reversed Spirit Formation Map!

He used the Thunder Magnetism Formation to control a Demon Cultivator disciple, going through much trouble to steal it from the Demon Sectʼs merit vault.

The first Ultimate Formation Mo Hua learned during the Qi Refinement Realm was the Reversed Spirit Formation.

And now, he had reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, with Divine Sense 20 Patterns, finally qualified to learn this Second Grade Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation.

Mo Hua gently caressed the parchment of the Formation Diagram.

In the eyes of others, it was just an obscure and ancient formation map with unclear meaning.

But in the eyes of Mo Hua, who mastered the First Grade Reversed Spirit Formation, it was entirely different.

He could almost see the law of spiritual power reversal flowing slowly within it.

This law of reversal was like a spark; once ignited, it could cause a dramatic change in laws, producing incredible destructive power.

In the Qi Refinement Realm, he once used this Reversed Spirit Formation to collapse a Large Formation and annihilate a Taoist Demon Big Demon.

And now, with his Foundation established, once he learns the Second Grade Reversed Spirit Formation, the formationʼs destructive capabilities will reach a new level.

If there were a Second Grade Large Formation as a seed to be collapsed, the resultant power would be unimaginably strong, something Mo Hua dared not even think of.

Of course, he could only think about it.

Where would he find a Second Grade Large Formation for him to collapse?

A Second Grade Large Formation would require so much manpower and resources, so many Spirit Stones, so much Spiritual Ink...

As a Formation Master, Mo Hua understood this all too well.

Even if others were willing to let him collapse it, he might not bear to do it.

Of course, even without collapsing a Second Grade Large Formation, ordinary Second Grade Formations, particularly Second Grade High-Level Formations, could still have significant destructive power when collapsed by the Reversed Spirit Formation, possibly severely injuring a Golden Core cultivator, even if it couldnʼt kill.

This way, he would have another trump card against Golden Core cultivators.

Mo Hua felt invigorated and began to focus, delving into the Reversed Spirit Formation Map in front of him.

One formation pattern after another was engraved in his heart.

The reversal law flowing over it, though crude and profound, was slowly being penetrated, understood, and comprehended by Mo Huaʼs Divine Thought.

The difficulty of the Reversed Spirit Formation was much higher.

Having learned the First Grade Reversed Spirit Formation, during the Formation Competition, Mo Hua also comprehended that finale formation that mixed part of the Reversed Spirit Law, which made his learning much more efficient.

But even so, such deep comprehension could not be achieved overnight.

Mo Hua still needed to persist in practicing and contemplating every day.

Accumulating over time, persistent effort could yield mastery through practice and lead to sudden insight.

Maybe one day, he would become proficient through practice and suddenly grasp the essence of the Reversed Spirit Formation.

Learning formations requires a massive amount of time, unrelenting effort, and tenacious contemplation; there are no shortcuts.

Fortunately, Mo Hua was already used to this sort of thing.

After contemplating the Reversed Spirit Formation for a while, Mo Hua felt it was enough, so he put the formation map away.

Afterward, he began to consider another matter:

The Lifebound Formation Map.

Mo Hua felt a bit disappointed.

In the tombs of Solitary Mountain City, he had spent so much effort trying to obtain the Green Dragon Formation Map of the Four Symbols, but things did not go as planned, and ultimately Mr. Tu, who had been plotting for a long time, seized it.

He had only calculated for one or two years.

But Mr. Tu might have been plotting for hundreds of years.

It wasnʼt surprising that he couldnʼt outsmart him, and Mo Hua could accept it.

But because of this, his ”Lifebound Formation Map” remained elusive.

Mo Hua sighed and took out a few formation sketches from his Storage Ring.

These sketches were scattered with various formation patterns, all showing dragon forms, whether like dragon scales, dragon claws, dragon fins, or dragon bodies...

Some of these patterns were derived through Mo Huaʼs own calculations.

Others were imprinted from Shen Tuao.

Yet these patterns were incomplete.

The calculations were unfinished, and the imprints were only half done.

Mo Hua looked at these incomplete dragon scale and dragon claw patterns, furrowing his brow, and after a moment, a bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind:

”Why do I need the dragon map from Mr. Tuʼs hands?”

”Canʼt I... deduce a ʼdragonʼ on my own?”

The Four Symbols Monster Patterns from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, such as the Dog Pattern, Wolf Pattern, Serpent Pattern, Bear Pattern, Tiger Pattern...etc., he had meticulously recorded them all when he ventured into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

The gathering of monster patterns to cultivate Dragon Patterns, he had also witnessed such formation pattern changes firsthand on Shen Tuao.

Mr. Tu could refine those monster patterns, extracting their essence to cultivate a dragon map.

So why couldnʼt he?

Copying Mr. Tuʼs ”work” wasnʼt impressive.

Coming up with it by himself really was impressive.

This is the essential formation skill set of a powerful Formation Master.

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the more it made sense.

”Instead of giving a man a fish, teach a man how to fish.”

Mr. Tu didnʼt give him the ”fish,” but his ”fishing” process was crystal clear to Mo Hua.

If Mr. Tu could cultivate a dragon, so could he!

Moreover, carrying the Heavenly secret Calculation, the Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation, and the Back Origin Calculation of the Five Elements Sect, he had no reason to be inferior to Mr. Tu in derivation...

Mo Huaʼs gaze gradually lit up, and his determination solidified.

He also wanted to cultivate a dragon from the monsters.

Thoroughly analyze the Four Symbols Formation, study the various changes in the monster patterns, and then ”create” a dragon of his own!

”Dragon...”

As he thought about dragons, Mo Hua suddenly remembered the ”Dragon Vein” he had.

He climbed to the head of the bed and pulled out the Dragon Vein, wrapped in black cloth, from beneath the pillow.

Mo Hua unveiled a corner of the black cloth, revealing a section of the Dragon Vein.

A strong Azure Dragon aura immediately surged out.

Mo Hua was startled and promptly restrained the Dragon Vein with the black cloth to prevent the dragonʼs aura from leaking out.

He then furrowed his brows.

The aura of this Dragon Vein was too strong, and he simply couldnʼt study it.

Nor did he dare to touch it.

At the Gushan Temple, Shen Shouxing, whose cultivation was at the Golden Core Peak, had just grabbed this Dragon Vein and immediately lost an arm.

Even if Mo Hua were bold enough to eat a bearʼs heart or leopardʼs gall, he wouldnʼt dare touch it with his bare hands.

He knew better than anyone the strength of his own body.

Moreover, he indeed lacked the bloodline of the royal family of the Great Wilderness.

Mo Hua gazed at the Dragon Vein for a while, couldnʼt make sense of it, and decided to set it aside for the time being.

”Iʼll leave the Dragon Vein alone; it wonʼt run away anyway. Letʼs focus on deriving the dragon map first...”

Mo Hua took out Formation Paper and recorded all the monster patterns obtained from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons carerefully.

Then he officially began implementing his grand plan to ”create” a dragon.

Gathering the essence of ten thousand demons to depict the dragon map of the Great Wilderness.

And naturally, this was also a vast formation project.

But Mo Hua was neither anxious nor discouraged.

Through this process of deriving the patterns, he could gradually deepen his understanding and application of the Four Symbols Formation.

Even if, in the end, he couldnʼt ”create” a dragon, by continually attempting to deconstruct, integrate, transform, and merge the monster patterns, he would inevitably become a formation master adept in the Four Symbols Formation Patterns.

However you looked at it, nothing would be lost.

Mo Hua calmed his mind and started to research the changes in the Four Symbols Monster Patterns, comparing them with the incomplete dragon map, stroke by stroke.

Time passed slowly, with the night serene.

The candlelight on the table flickered gently.

The monster patterns shifted ceaselessly under his pen.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Mo Hua, always full of energy, unexpectedly felt a touch of drowsiness.

His eyelids were heavy, and the formation patterns before him became blurry.

The Dragon Vein beside him emitted a slight warmth.

The monster patterns began to twist and meld together, forming indistinct silhouettes.

As Mo Hua watched these silhouettes, his focus weakened, and unconsciously, he slumped over the table, drifting into sleep.

In his sleep, Mo Hua had a dream.

In the dream, he saw a dragon.
