The Quest for Immortality

Seeing no reaction from it, Mo Hua began to scrutinize it carefully.

The closed Five Elements Source Pattern was like a jade pendant, feeling neither soft nor hard, neither cold nor warm in his hand, and it was both illusory and real.

It was a condensation of Divine Thought.

It was a crystallization of the Divine Sense computational power of the Five Elements Sect.

Although the typical Divine Thought Body appeared lifelike, it was still slightly hazy, like a gaseous illusion; even Mo Hua’s form, though solid, still had some of that hazy quality.

It felt like a real person, but wasn’t one.

But this Source Pattern was nearly a real object.

”The more ’illusory’ it goes, the more ’real’ it becomes...” Mo Hua furrowed his brows.

From illusory to real, could this be the path to powerful Divine Thought? Was it also the path he must take to Prove the Dao with his Divine Sense?

Mo Hua shook his head and decided to go back and ask his master.

The current issue was how to deal with this Source Pattern.

This Source Pattern seemed to hide many secrets. Read the latest on

It was not only a Formation Flow but also a top-tier Formation inheritance, invaluable in itself.

At the same time, it surely held the truth behind the decline of the Five Elements Sect.

Most importantly, within the Source Pattern lay a strong and strange aura.

What exactly was this aura?

Furthermore, why would this inheritance ”come to life,” spawn Formation Patterns, cling to Divine Thought, and command zombies?

After pondering for a long time, Mo Hua was still confused; he couldn’t help sighing,

”I really need to read more books.”

”Tao Cultivation knowledge is also a part of a cultivator’s strength.”

He looked again at the Five Elements Source Pattern in his hand, which resembled a jade pendant, with some difficulty,

”Where should I put this Source Pattern?”

It was definitely not feasible to place it within his Sea of Consciousness.

This Source Pattern was like a plague, capable of self-propagation, parasitic feeding, and harbored unknown malevolent thoughts. Even with the Taoist Stele suppressing it, it was still too dangerous. Ȑ𝔞ɴỖ₿Εş

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.

He couldn’t plant a mine in his own Sea of Consciousness.

If it couldn’t be stored in the Sea of Consciousness, then it had to be placed outside.

A object for storing Divine Thought? A shrine could work.

But the shrine belonged to the Five Elements Sect, and since he couldn’t take it with him, storing the Source Pattern inside would leave him empty-handed.

Moreover, with the Source Pattern now having its own will and having entered his Sea of Consciousness and seen the Taoist Stele, he couldn’t let it run free.

Even if he couldn’t ”kill” it or ”consume” it, he must keep it in his own hands.

For storage...

Mo Hua supported his chin in thought when suddenly his eyes lit up.

The Contemplation Map!

Zhang Quan’s Ancestral Master Picture could store Divine Thought.

Zhang Quan’s family of zombies, from the elders to the disciples, had been ”devoured” completely by Mo Hua, leaving behind an Ancestral Master Picture without the Ancestral Master’s image.

This blank Ancestral Master Picture seemed like it could be used to store the Five Elements Source Pattern.

”But how do I put it in there?”

Lacking experience, Mo Hua thought of trying first.

His Divine Sense withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness as his consciousness gradually awakened.

Mo Hua in front of the shrine slowly opened his eyes.

Bai Zixi was at first elated, then her pretty face grew serious, her white hands forming a knife-like gesture behind Mo Hua’s head, as if she was ready to knock him down again without further ado.

Bai Zisheng’s expression was also solemn.

As Mo Hua opened his eyes, sensing the odd atmosphere, he asked in a low voice,

”Junior Sister, what’s wrong...”

Bai Zixi looked intently into Mo Hua’s eyes and, seeing his clear and water-like gaze reflecting her form, nodded and said softly,

”It’s Junior Brother.”

Bai Zisheng exhaled a long breath of relief, then remembering something, hastily asked,

”The Five Elements Spirit Formation, have you learned it?”

Mo Hua nodded with a smile.

Bai Zisheng was overjoyed, then puzzled,

”What exactly did you encounter inside that took so long? And just now...”

Bai Zixi, however, said with a deep gaze, ”Let’s talk outside.”

Bai Zisheng immediately nodded, ”Yes, let’s go outside first.”

”Wait,” Mo Hua said, ”I have something else to do...”

He opened his Storage Bag and, after rummaging around, finally found that crumpled, incense ash-sprinkled Ancestral Master Picture in a corner.

As Mo Hua unfolded the Ancestral Master Picture and was about to consider how to store the Five Elements Source Pattern inside it, he felt a pain in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Five Elements Source Pattern, not waiting any longer, hurried out of his Sea of Consciousness and dove into the blank picture.

It seemed it could not stand to be in Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness for another moment...

The Five Elements Source Pattern entered the Contemplation Map.

On the blank picture, a burst of five-colored brilliance appeared and clearly revealed five-colored lines. These five lines encompassed the Five Elements Formation, containing the essence of the Five Elements.

This Contemplation Map had thus become an embodiment of the legacy of the Five Elements Sect’s Formations through the generations—the Five Elements Formation Flow Chart!

In an instant, the entire picture’s aura transformed.

A deeply concealed, profound, and robust Five Elements Qi emanated from the picture, spreading out from the Formation Pavilion at the center in all directions.

The ordinary disciples of the Five Elements Sect felt nothing.

But the various Sect Leaders and Elders were alarmed.

”What is this?!”

”Such thick Five Elements Qi!”

”Profound, primal, and extraordinary!”

”Does our Five Elements Sect still have such a legacy?”

”What legacy is this?”

...

The Chief Elder, sipping tea on the third floor, was especially shocked.

Being closer, he sensed it more clearly.

The shrine?! What’s going on?

What has happened?

The Chief Elder felt a tremor in his heart and suddenly stood up, wanting to go to the fourth floor to see what had happened...

Mr. Zhuang beside him also showed a subtle change in expression, appearing stunned and lost in thought, murmuring to himself,

”The essence of the Five Elements...”

”What exactly has this child Mo Hua found...

”He couldn’t have unearthed the entire foundational legacy of the Five Elements Sect’s Formations accumulated over thousands of years, could he...”
