The Quest for Immortality

A Formation Master without a thirst for knowledge is not a good Formation Master.

Elder Master Xun said, ”It’s the Formation Pivot.”

Mo Hua nodded his head, thinking to himself that it was indeed so.

Elder Master Xun sipped his tea and explained to Mo Hua,

”Even though the Primordial Magnet Formation consists of two parts, they are mutually generative and considered a Single Formation.”

”The Messaging Formation, based on the Primordial Magnet Formation and conducted through the Formation Pivot, is a closely connected system of formations, essentially equivalent to a Compound Formation...”

”However, this Compound Formation is quite special. The Fixed and Unfixed Formations included are all of the same origin, with only the ’Sequence’ of the Formation Pivot differing...”

”Sequence?!”

Mo Hua was startled and his eyes widened.

The Spiritual Pivot Formation...

A multi-level control with multi-level permissions in the Sequential Formation Pattern!

Elder Master Xun curiously asked, ”Do you know about Formation Pivot Sequences?”

Mo Hua blinked and shook his head.

Elder Master Xun thought Mo Hua was a strange child, but continued,

”A single Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation is controlled by the Formation Pivot for ’positive-negative,’ ’inner-outer,’ and ’fixed-unfixed’ dual-layer formations’ interaction...”

”But this is just the principle for an individual Messaging Formation...”

”For messaging, multiple Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formations are needed, connected to one another, with Fixed Formation Patterns as the foundation, and Unfixed Formation Patterns harmonizing to form an agreement, all maintained by the Formation Pivot...”

”A set of Messaging Formations includes multiple Primordial Magnet Formations, each having a special Formation Pivot Sequence to identify identities...”

”Different Sequences, different permissions.”

”Different permissions, different functions, even the direction of messaging differs, some are one-way, some are two-way, others multi-directional...”

Elder Master Xun just hinted slightly, but Mo Hua understood fully.

He was very familiar with ’Sequences.’

The Soul Pivot Ultimate Formation partitions powers by sequences, determining the magnitude and ownership of powers within the entire Spiritual Pivot Formation system.

But the difference lies in, the Soul Pivot Ultimate Formation uses Sequential Formation Patterns,

While the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation uses Sequential Formation Pivots.

While there are differences, the fundamental principles of formations are the same.

”So what does a Sequential Formation Pivot look like? After the coordination of the Sequential Formation Pivot, does it have to be summarized into a main, Large Formation Pivot?”

Mo Hua asked again.

”Naturally...”

Elder Master Xun nodded his head and was about to speak but suddenly hesitated and closed his mouth.

Mo Hua waited for a long time, seeing that Elder Master Xun was silent, puzzled, he said, ”Elder Master, please go on...”

Elder Master Xun pondered thoughtfully,

”It is still too early for you to learn this now. We will talk about it later...”

Mo Hua sighed with a touch of disappointment.

Elder Master Xun, feeling somewhat embarrassed, then said, ”Ask something else, I will tell you about other things.”

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, just as he was about to speak, Elder Master Xun said,

”But only one question.”

He was afraid Mo Hua would ask endlessly, and in a moment of carelessness, slip up and tell him something this child should not know yet...

”Only one?”

”Only one!”

”Alright then…” Mo Hua sighed.

He thought for a moment and finally asked the question that had felt most discordant when he was studying the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation:

”Elder Master, why does the Primordial Magnet Formation differentiate between Fixed Formation Patterns and Unfixed Formation Patterns? What is the specific relationship between them? Why does this relationship exist?”

Mo Hua delved deeply, his face full of confusion.

Elder Master Xun sighed inwardly.

This is not just one question...

But, it is still counted as one type of issue, and since it only involves a single formation, it’s permissible to discuss.

Elder Master Xun said, ”The essence of the Fixed and Unfixed Formations lies in their Formation Patterns.”

”Fixed is the foundation, and Unfixed acts like a shadow of the Fixed Formation Patterns.”

”You can regard these two as part of the same formation, where their Formation Patterns are considered the same Pattern.”

”But only when the two are combined can they form the same formation, produce the true Yuan Magnetic Pattern, and provide the foundation for the Messaging Formation...”

At this point, Elder Master Xun’s gaze sharpened and his expression became more solemn,

”There is an extremely subtle connection between the Yuan Magnetic Fixed and Unfixed Formation Patterns, which is intricate and profound, and not easy to understand.”

”Therefore, the Fathers of Formation Masters had a brilliant idea to classify the Yuan Magnetic Formation Patterns into Fixed and Unfixed categories, to record Thunder Magnetic Sensing, making it easier for Formation Masters to understand and construct formations.”

...

”Differentiating Yuan Magnetic Formation Patterns into Fixed and Unfixed...”

Mo Hua frowned.

He vaguely felt there was some deeper secret within this, but due to his own limited understanding of formations, though he tried to comprehend, he couldn’t grasp the concept.

Believing that Mo Hua did not understand, Elder Master Xun explained,

”The Primordial Fixed is unified, relatively constant...”

”But the Primordial Unfixed Formation Patterns have various mutations, sometimes even determined by specific conditions...”

Mo Hua was taken aback.

”For example...” Elder Master Xun gave an example, ”I will use the ’Jia’ character from the ten heavenly stems as the Primordial Fixed, and this ’teacup’ in my hand as Unfixed.”

”Thus, when I send a message and write the character ’Jia’, what appears will be ’teacup.’”

”This is an agreement between you and me...”

”Besides ’teacup,’ you can agree on anything, ’tea leaves,’ ’tea water,’ ’teapot’—anything is possible...”

”If you know about this agreement, then you know ’Jia’ means ’teacup’; if you don’t know it, you won’t understand what I’m talking about at all.”
