The Quest for Immortality

With the addition of the previously learned Wood Spirit Formation and Fire Spirit Formation,

The Five Elements Spirit Formation was nearly complete.

”But... can it be this simple?”

Mo Hua furrowed his brow.

A Second Grade Thirteen Stripes Ultimate Formation couldn’t possibly be mastered so easily...

”Shall we try out its effects?” Bai Zisheng suggested.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and nodded.

Formation Study emphasizes the application of what is learned.

If drawing a formation yields actual use, it means one has truly grasped the essence of the formation.

If the formation is useless or fails, then it means they haven’t truly learned the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

The Five Elements Spirit Formation can strengthen the properties of the Five Elements, amplify Spiritual Power of the Five Elements, and thereby enhance the power of Five Elements type Spiritual Artifacts, machinery, Taoist Skills, and spells.

Bai Zixi took out a spirit sword blank.

This was a blank spirit sword, freshly forged with no formations on it, which she used to practice Artifact Refining—just for fun.

On the sword blank, Bai Zixi drew a Gold Spirit Formation, then, using Spiritual Power, she activated the formation before executing swordsmanship.

Golden sword light condensed at the tip of the sword, slashing towards the ground.

When the sword light met the ground, the formation was damaged, bricks shattered, and a sword mark carved into the ground with remnants of radiant gold Spiritual Power lingering.

”How is it?” Mo Hua asked.

Bai Zixi shook her head, ”It has enhanced a bit, but only slightly.”

Mo Hua was somewhat disappointed.

”Try something else,” Bai Zixi said.

Mo Hua nodded.

After that, besides the Gold Spirit Formation, they tried the Wood Spirit Formation, Fire Spirit Formation, Water Spirit Formation, and Earth Spirit Formation—all of them. ℞𝐀ŊőꞖЕȘ

Those who knew the corresponding Five Elements Spell used it for testing.

But there were some they didn’t know.

For example, Wood Spirit Formation and Earth Spirit Formation.

Although Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi had good Spiritual Roots, limited by their attributes, they didn’t know the related spells, and in these cases, Mo Hua promptly learned two Five Elements Spells, ”Quicksand Skill” and ”Wood Poison Art.”

He possessed the Small Five Elements Spiritual Root and could learn all Five Elements Spells.

However, since he learned them on the spot, his usage wasn’t proficient, the power was lesser, useless in real combat, but sufficient for testing the formation.

All three tried, and in the end, they were quite disappointed.

The Five Elements Spirit Formation seemed to be effective, but its utility was negligible.

Mo Hua sighed lightly.

Though disappointed, this was within expectations.

The reason why an Ultimate Formation is considered ultimate lies not only in its complex patterns and high Divine Sense requirements but also in certain changes to the nature of Spiritual Power or special formation inheritances.

Only by grasping certain principles can one comprehend an Ultimate Formation.

The Reversed Spirit Formation requires Calculation.

The Thick Earth Formation needs perception of the Earth Dao Meaning.

The Spiritual Pivot Formation requires a profound understanding of the central structure of Spiritual Power, transforming spirit into threads, to intricately and minutely control Spiritual Power.

So, what does the Five Elements Spirit Formation require?

How to discern the essence of Spiritual Power in the Five Elements Spirit Formation and truly master this Ultimate Formation?

All three were confused and puzzled.

At 1 a.m.

Mo Hua lay in bed, his Divine Sense submerged in the Sea of Consciousness.

The Taoist Stele appeared before Mo Hua.

On the Taoist Stele, Mo Hua practiced the Five Elements Spirit Formation over and over again.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was Thirteen Stripes.

The Five Elements Spirit Formation was also a Thirteen Stripes threshold.

Furthermore, although the Five Elements Spirit Formation was an Ultimate Formation, its origin lay in the Five Elements. Having drawn the Large Five Elements Formation, Mo Hua had a profound understanding of the Five Elements Formation structure, so learning it wasn’t too difficult.

After practicing more than a dozen times, Mo Hua could draw the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

But that was all he could do.

He simply drew the pattern, cleared the Formation Pivot, and constructed the Formation eye.

He had drawn the frame without grasping the essence.

He couldn’t truly be said to have mastered it.

The Five Elements Spirit Formation surely had deeper secrets.

”Where is this secret hidden?”

Mo Hua folded his arms under his head, lying on the ground in the white expanse of his Sea of Consciousness, and began pondering over the people and events of the Five Elements Sect from the beginning...

The Chief Elder staunchly adhering to the tradition, the detached Sect Leader Liao, a bunch of Elders with no presence, hard to distinguish who was who, along with the disciples for whom Formation Study had fallen into decline...

Formation as the basis for establishing the Sect, grand construction in Earth and Wood...

Second Grade Five Elements Mountain Guarding Formation...

Thinking this way, Mo Hua’s train of thought began to wander.

He always felt there was some indescribable disharmony within the Five Elements Sect.

But as to where exactly the disconnect lay, he still couldn’t see through it...

Mo Hua shook his head, refocusing his attention on the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

The Five Elements Spirit Formation was the most important matter.

According to his master’s words, mastering the Five Elements Spirit Formation was crucial to establish a foundation for oneself before proceeding to the Foundation Establishment.

The Five Elements Spirit Formation was kept in the Formation Pavilion.

In the Formation Pavilion, there was a Shrine.

In front of the Shrine, there were five cushions.

The Chief Elder’s intention was not to let himself, along with his older martial brother and sisters or even his master’s lineage, learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

He didn’t want the Five Elements Spirit Formation to be disseminated outside.

Thinking the reverse...

It implied that within this Shrine, indeed, there lies the inheritance of the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

If the Chief Elder did not obstruct it, it’s really possible that someone could learn it and leave with the knowledge.

Mo Hua then considered from the perspective of his Sect’s ancestors:

If I were the venerable ancestor of the Five Elements Sect...

The first order of business wouldn’t be worrying about the inheritance being learned by others, but to find a way to allow my disciples to truly comprehend the inheritance of the Five Elements Sect.

If I can’t learn it, the Sect will eventually perish.

Enjoy new adventures from

As long as I master it well, even if others learn just a little, it does no significant harm.

So, saying that...

The Shrine must be the handiwork of the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect.

The inheritance of the Five Elements Sect is sealed within the Shrine.

The younger disciples of the Five Elements Sect, by pondering the Shrine, could comprehend the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

If that’s the case, then this inheritance encompasses not just the Patterns of the Five Elements Spirit Formation but also the true mystery that lies within.
