The Quest for Immortality

After returning to the Sect, Mo Hua immediately and preciously collected all the Formation Diagrams into his Storage Ring.

These are all valuable treasures that must be kept safe.

Moreover, he must study them secretly, not letting anyone know, so as not to cause Aunt Wan any trouble.

Despite Aunt Wan appearing unconcerned, Mo Hua knew in his heart that after all, these Formations were heritages of the two great families, the Shangguan and Wenren, and were immensely precious.

Aunt Wan is the legitimate daughter of the Wenren family and the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family.

But in other words, she is the daughter sent away by the Wenren family and the ”outsider” married into the Shangguan family.

Giving away the heritage Formation Diagrams of both families to him, once discovered, would certainly become a source of accusation and criticism.

The situation of Aunt Wan within the family would definitely become even more difficult.

What’s more, among them is an Ultimate Formation!

Aunt Wan does not specialize in Formation arts; she may not know what kind of Formation she has given to him.

Second Grade Ultimate Formation...

Second-born Thunder Stream Formation!

Mo Hua held back, but ultimately, he couldn’t resist. He took out the Formation Diagram of the Second-born Thunder Flow Ultimate Formation again, rubbing it in his hand and smiling with narrowed eyes like a silly child.

This is an Ultimate Formation!

And it is the Secondary Thunder Flow Absolute Array, which is closest to the essence of the Yuan Magnetic Formation among the derivations of the Eight Trigrams Thunder Series Formation!

Mo Hua itched to learn it.

But after a few glances, he realized that he couldn’t learn it for now.

First, his foundation in the Yuan Magnetic Formation is not enough.

He has learned much of the Five Elements Bagua Formation, establishing a solid foundation and profound understanding.

But for the Yuan Magnetic Formation, Mo Hua has only learned a few, making his foundation inevitably weak and understanding unlikely to be profound.

Furthermore, the more advanced Secondary Thunder Formation, being an Ultimate Formation, was even less likely to be truly understood by Mo Hua at first sight.

Secondly, his Divine Sense is also insufficient.

An Ultimate Formation with Twenty Patterns naturally requires Divine Sense with Twenty Patterns.

Currently, Mo Hua’s Divine Sense only possesses Seventeen Patterns, barely qualifying as a near Eighteen Patterns.

Being near Eighteen Patterns, there is still a long way to reach Twenty Patterns.

Especially between Nineteen and Twenty Patterns lies the immense obstacle of advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.

It’s hard to imagine how long it would take to cross this barrier, perhaps as arduous as water eroding a stone.

Or else, it might require a ”feast” to achieve a breakthrough...

”Can’t learn...”

A Second Grade Ultimate Formation is right before his eyes, yet he can only look, not learn.

Mo Hua sighed.

He reluctantly stored away the Formation Diagram of the Second-born Thunder Flow Ultimate Formation, which had Second Grade Twenty Patterns, and then his gaze became resolute.

Regardless, he must focus on improving his Divine Sense!

”I must find a way to satiate the Heavenly Dao Laws, break the constraints, then enhance the Divine Sense, elevate the realm, and reach the Divine Sense Realm of Twenty Patterns as soon as possible, to comprehend the Secondary Thunder Absolute Array!”

The quickest way to enhance Divine Sense is to ”consume” Evil Spirits.

The fastest method to ”consume” Evil Spirits is to find an altar.

By stealing the authority of an Evil God, one can get a ”delivery” that can instantly satiate.

But being confined now, he couldn’t go out to look for altars or place orders.

This method has to be abandoned.

Besides that, refining the Divine Sense through extensive practice of Formation Patterns is another possibility.

But this is what Mo Hua has been doing every moment of every day.

With his strong Divine Sense and the Taoist Stele that can trace back Divine Thought, Mo Hua’s daily practice of Formations is nearly tens of times that of other Formation Masters at the same cultivation level.

Since obtaining the Taoist Stele, Mo Hua has been practising relentlessly every day, without any slack, so there’s not much to say about that.

Lastly, just like ordinary cultivators, systematically advancing one’s Cultivation Realm to enhance the Divine Sense Realm is another path.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment.

Being ”grounded”, other than practising Formations in great quantities every day, it seems his only option is to strengthen his Divine Sense through increasing his Cultivation.

”Foundation Building Middle Stage!”

He decided to elevate his Cultivation to the Middle Phase of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible before considering other options.

Mo Hua nodded.

Thereafter, Mo Hua set aside all else, single-mindedly solving Mystery Formations, hoping to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment soon.

He also temporarily stopped interfering with the matters of Yu Family’s Water Stronghold and the Water Yama.

Of course, he couldn’t manage them now even if he wanted to.

The refining of the Five Elements Source Armor continues.

In his free time, he still met with Master Gu for meals and discussed improvements to their methods.

If his fellow disciples sought his help with rewards, he would guide them, fulfilling his responsibilities as the ”Junior Brother”.

Master Gu, on the other hand, could sell more customized spiritual tools, earning more Spirit Stones.

Besides these, Mo Hua spent almost all his time and energy on breaking through the bottleneck of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The bottleneck of Heaven Yan Jue, seemed somewhat unfathomable to ordinary people.

Complex Formation Patterns, massive amounts of Mystery Formations, and the qualitative change of the Divine Rank.

For ordinary Cultivators, each hurdle seemed like an insurmountable gap.

But Mo Hua was accustomed to it.

At least in his view, these were just ”routine” bottlenecks.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, with profound Formation knowledge, powerful Divine Sense foundation, deep Calculation power, and the multiple speeds of Tricky Calculation,

The vast and complex Mystery Formations were rapidly solved by Mo Hua like pouring hot soup over snow.

The bottleneck was gradually loosening.

After more than a month, just as Mo Hua had nearly solved all of Heaven Yan Jue’s Mystery Formations and was about to break through the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, Cheng Mo suddenly came to look for Mo Hua.

”Junior Brother, are you going to attend the Sword Discussion Conference?” Cheng Mo asked.

Mo Hua was taken aback.

The Sword Discussion Conference?

This term, he had heard of it before.

It was occasionally mentioned in conversations among his fellow disciples, though often in vague terms.

Mo Hua felt it was something distant from him, so he did not ask further.

Of course, what he heard most was the term ”Debating Sword Conference.”
