The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 740 -572 Drawing Ground into Formation_3

After learning the Heaven Yan Jue, Mo Hua mastered the Spirit Pivot Formation.

This kind of meticulous control was something Mo Hua had a good understanding of.

And after the transformation of Divine Consciousness, this intricate manipulation also underwent a qualitative change.

Mo Hua practiced for a day or two and gradually figured out the principles. After that, practice after practice, Divine Consciousness and Spiritual Ink became more and more in sync.

The Divine Thought became the brush, merging with the Spiritual Ink, and then controlling it.

The Spiritual Ink seemed to become an extension of Mo Hua’s Divine Consciousness, floating in the air according to his will, condensing into various free-floating lines and complex patterns.

...

After practicing for several more days and mastering “Divine Consciousness Control Ink,” Mo Hua began “Drawing Ground into Formation.”

His pale little hand pointed vaguely, toward the ground.

Influenced by his Divine Consciousness, the Spiritual Ink solidified into thin threads, automatically spilling out of the bottle, following the tips of Mo Hua’s fingers, seeping into the ground bit by bit.

Then, as Mo Hua moved his fingers, the ink gradually wriggled, flowed, moved, and condensed into Formation Patterns, finally forming a formation based on the Formation Pivot layout!

Without pen or paper, a complete formation was thus drawn on the ground.

A flash of light, and the formation was activated!

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened, thrilled with joy.

He had succeeded!

He then suppressed his excitement, maintaining a humble and steadfast attitude.

”It’s still just a simple First-grade Melting Fire Formation

He needed to continue practicing…

Starting with the ordinary First-grade Formations, he would progress from the simple to the complex, step by step, formation after formation, mastering Divine Consciousness Control Ink, using the ground as the medium to draw the Ultimate Formation, and then moving on to Second-Grade Formations!

In this way, not needing a pen or paper, he would be able to save a great deal of Spirit Stones in the future!

But that wasn’t all.

This method of Formation Painting had relatively few restrictions.

It was faster, more convenient, and more covert.

Even in the midst of battle, if there was a spare moment, one could imperceptibly use thought as the brush, the ground as the paper, and lay down a formation!

Of course, Mo Hua’s current abilities were still far from sufficient.

He needed to practice more, to achieve the realm where the ink would follow his heart’s desire, handling it with ease.

In time, he would be able to do as he wished, Pointing to the Ground to Form a Formation!

Mo Hua thought about how one day, like the Divine Sense Incarnation in his Sea of Consciousness, he could do as he pleased, form a formation with just a point of his finger, and he was overjoyed at the thought. ꞦΑŊƟＢĚs̩

Mo Hua’s face was all smiles; then he gathered his thoughts and began to focus, continuing his practice.

He wanted to master this technique as soon as possible, to reach perfection!

Mo Hua squatted on the ground, Drawing Formation.

Big Tiger lay by the side, leisurely chewing on a large dried fish; occasionally stealing glances at Mo Hua, seeing him concentrating on something, becoming curious, it quietly brought its head over to see what Mo Hua was up to.

On the ground, Formation Patterns wriggled, forming a complex array.

Big Tiger watched for a while but couldn’t understand, all confusion in its big eyes, so it lay back down and continued to nibble on the dried fish with a shake of its head…

In the secluded mountains, a person and a tiger lived together, peacefully and harmoniously.

…

More than half a month later, after relentless practice, Mo Hua’s Divine Consciousness Control Ink had become quite proficient, and Drawing Ground into Formation was done with ease.

The formations he drew weren’t limited to First-grade Formations; they now also included the Thirteen Stripes Five Elements Source Formation.

This was also the most profound formation Mo Hua had mastered so far.

However, using Divine Consciousness Control Ink to draw the Five Elements Source Formation consumed a lot of Divine Consciousness.

And the speed of drawing the formation was relatively slow.

It was far from the effect Mo Hua had anticipated.

The consumption of Divine Sense is large but still manageable, as Mo Hua’s Divine Sense is inherently profound and powerful, so he doesn’t mind using a bit more.

But the slow speed, that’s more troublesome.

At least in real combat, there isn’t time to draw it out.

Unless one is well-hidden enough and has plenty of time to prepare.

”How can I draw a bit faster?”

With his thoughts slightly stirred, Mo Hua began to ponder once more.

After thinking for a long time, the only method he could think of was the “Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation.”

But as for how to achieve it, and use the Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation like Uncle to transform Divine Thoughts and utilize the techniques of Gui Tao’s Divine Thought, Mo Hua was still very confused.

After all, he had only stealth-learned it, imitating without truly understanding.

He didn’t have the inheritance, and figuring it out by himself was extremely difficult.

After a long time, Mo Hua had no clue and could only put this problem aside for the moment.

Since he already knew the basics of Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation, he would slowly ponder the various changes in the future. One day, he would understand it.

The duck in his pot was bound to get cooked eventually, and it couldn’t fly away!

Next, what turned out to be more troublesome were the Second-Grade Formations.

He needed to find several more Second-Grade Formations, learn them, and keep them as a reserve.

Inside Tongxian City, there were hardly any Second-Grade Formation Diagrams.

The Second-Grade Formations that Mo Hua currently mastered were only the Ten Stripes Second-order Bright Fire Formation and the Eleven Stripes Second-order Thorn Formation.

He had drawn these two Formations to the point of perfection.

It would be ideal if he could find a more challenging Second-Grade Formation. After learning it, he could try to get some Second-Grade Spiritual Ink and test “Drawing Ground into Formation” with the technique of “Divine Consciousness Control Ink.”

He wanted to see what his current limit was.

Through this technique of Divine Consciousness Control Ink, what rank of Formation could he draw…

The only way for Mo Hua to get a Second-Grade Formation, as it seemed now, was from the Five Elements Formation Flow Map’s Five Elements Source Pattern…

This Source Pattern, Mo Hua would decipher whenever he had the chance, but up until now, the best Formation he had obtained was the Second-Grade Eleven Patterns Five Elements Formation.

His Divine Sense had undergone a “Transformation” to Fourteen Patterns.

In other words, his limit should be Fourteen Patterns!

Mo Hua felt a bit dissatisfied.

No matter how bad his luck was or how down on his luck he might be, after all this time, he should have been able to reverse-engineer a decent Second-Grade Formation…

Not many, just a Twelve Strip one would be enough…

Mo Hua decided to have another try.

Before deciphering, to show his sincerity, Mo Hua burned incense and even washed his hands, silently chanting in his mind:

”Second-Grade Formation, Second-Grade Formation, Second-Grade Formation

”Twelve Stripes, Twelve Stripes, Twelve Stripes

After the chanting, Mo Hua began the Calculation.

Above the Source Pattern, mystical transformations took place.

One by one, the Patterns were decrypted, and one after another, the Formations were logically deduced…

After what seemed like an eternity, finally, a flash of light appeared before Mo Hua’s eyes!

A Formation Diagram, clearly different from the others, shining with a red glow and more eye-catching, emerged from the Source Pattern.

Mo Hua’s breath hitched, and he looked closely.

It was a Formation with which he was extremely familiar, yet it was mysteriously complex and somewhat unfamiliar.

”Earth Fire Formation

Second Grade… Thirteen Patterns!
