Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 803: Chapter 592 Yi Wood Gen Mountain_2

“But just a mid-lower grade spiritual root, why would you make connections with him?”

“What do you know?”

“If he really is just mid-lower grade, could he have entered the Taixu Gate?”

“To enter the Taixu Gate isn’t that simple.”

“Exactly.”

“Besides, if he can enter the Eight Great Gates with a mid-lower grade spiritual root, isn’t it that his Taoist foundation must be exceptionally supported, with a very strong backing!”

...

“Yes… mid-lower grade indeed…”

“Such a shallow Taoist foundation…”

“Just think, being able to be admitted with that…”

“Then his background, how deep must it be! His backing, how strong must it be!!”

Upon this realization, all disciples started respecting Mo Hua solemnly.

“Probably the illegitimate child of some great power, maybe even related to the ancestors of Taixu Gate…”

“If that were the case, his spiritual root wouldn’t be so poor…”

“You know nothing, the inheritance of spiritual roots isn’t one hundred percent, there are always variations…”

“A father and mother with inferior spiritual roots can have a child with a top-grade spiritual root, and a top-grade spiritual root can once in a while produce a mid-lower grade too…”

“It’s just a very small probability though…”

“Now that you mention it, mid-lower grade… it could really be possible…”

“That’s logical…”

With a complex expression, Mo Hua, speechless, emphasized:

“I really am just a Loose Cultivator…”

Hearing this, the disciples paused, then nodded in agreement, “Mm-hmm.”

But their expressions all suggested they saw through him, an unsaid understanding, “We know what’s going on.”

“Don’t worry, we will keep your secret…”

“We promise not to tell anyone…”

Mo Hua sighed, feeling helpless.

Another disciple expressed concern:

“Mo Hua, though your background… cough…”

The disciple hinted meaningfully, “Is just a Loose Cultivator…”

“…but you still shouldn’t offend Elder Master Xun, his credentials are very old, even the Sect Leader might not get face from him…”

“You’ve just joined the Sect, and your days here are long; if you displease Elder Master Xun and are punished to keep Drawing Formations, your future days will be tough…”

Grateful, Mo Hua said, “Thank you.”

But in his heart, he wondered, “I wonder if Elder Master Xun will teach me more difficult formations…”

He currently couldn’t find any “difficult” formations to study.

His divine sense had also been stagnant at fourteen patterns, with no advancement for a long time…

Elder Master Xun…

With a gleam in his eyes, Mo Hua thought:

“Maybe, tomorrow in class, I should just fall asleep, sleep through it?”

“See if Elder Master Xun will punish me by having me draw some even more ‘difficult’ formations?”

…

The next day, Mo Hua found he didn’t need to sleep anymore.

Because Elder Master Xun indeed treated him specially…

During the class, Elder Master Xun distributed a set of Formation Notes to everyone, which covered the Key Points of the First Grade Nine-pattern Synthesis Gold Formation, including a Formation Diagram.

Only Mo Hua did not have one in front of him.

Elder Master Xun handed another set of notes to Mo Hua, saying firmly:

“To learn formations, you must be solid, the foundation is the most important.”

“The better the talent, the more important the foundation.”

“Study this one…”

The other disciples looked at Mo Hua with sympathy.

Mo Hua, expression serious, couldn’t help but feel secretly thrilled.

“There is a formation to study!”

He quickly opened the notes, finding inside a drawing of a Gold and Fire Series’ First Grade Five Elements Compound Formation.

Mo Hua had not seen this Compound Formation before, but its structure was not complicated, being a Five Elements Formation that could be easily understood at a glance.

It indeed was harder.

But only a bit harder…

The level of difficulty was something like getting stuck between teeth.

A bit disappointed, Mo Hua still seriously read through the notes once, sorting and recording some knowledge points he had not learned before, and then started drawing the formation.

Elder Master Xun lectured above, and he drew below.

By the time Elder Master Xun had finished lecturing and the other disciples started brainstorming and drawing the formations, Mo Hua had already finished drawing, sitting back relaxed, watching the others furrow their brows in deep thought…

Elder Master Xun’s eyelids twitched.

But he stayed solemn and said nothing.

In the next class, while the other disciples still studied the First Grade Five Elements Series Formation, Mo Hua is given a slightly harder one, this time the Three-series Five Elements Compound Formation.

But it’s still only First Grade.

Mo Hua, as usua, finished drawing very quickly…

And thereafter, each time it got slightly harder, but each increase wasn’t much…

…

After four or five incremental difficulties…

Finally, Mo Hua encountered unfamiliar formation patterns.

This was linked to the Five Elements but varied slightly from the Five Elements Formation System:

The Eight Trigrams Formation!

The Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Eight Trigrams are Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Dui representing the heavens, earth, water, fire, mountains, thunder, marsh, and wind respectively.

The Eight Trigrams Formation overlaps partially with the Five Elements but involves broader and more complex legal principles of the Great Dao than the Five Elements.

Moreover, the Eight Trigrams Formation includes the principles of Yin and Yang, and the Six Yao, though not directly harnessing the power of Yin and Yang, or the Six Yao, but it uses these as a framework, deriving different formation logics on the base of the Five Elements.

Compared to each other, the Five_ELEMENT…
