The Quest for Immortality

The Yuan Magnetic Spiritual Vision Formation is a second-grade, seventeen-pattern formation.

The Yuan Magnetic Spirit Vision Compound Formation is a second-grade, eighteen-pattern compound formation.

Mo Hua’s current divine sense is just stuck at the peak of seventeen patterns, barely short of eighteen patterns.

Logically speaking, even a slight difference is still a difference.

If one’s divine sense is not at eighteen patterns, they cannot learn the eighteen-pattern compound formation.

But Mo Hua is somewhat unique.

His divine sense has undergone a transformation, with a deep foundation, and through daily formation painting, his divine thought is tempered a thousand times over, allowing him occasionally to ’exceed the mark’ and learn formations he otherwise wouldn’t be able to with his current divine sense realm.

Moreover, the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is based on a foundation.

They were first constructed, then demolished.

One simply needs to ’repair’ it based on the previous foundation and refine it according to one’s needs.

The first issue is the formation pivot.

The large formations and compound formations of this kind of large-scale integrated formations have their core in the formation pivot.

The formation pivot determines the layout, structure, system, and spiritual power flow of the formation and so forth.

Control the formation pivot, and you control the overall structure of the compound formation.

”Let’s find where the core formation pivot is...”

Mo Hua deduced based on several abandoned Yuan Magnetic Spiritual Vision Formations, inferring the spiritual power flow in reverse from the formation patterns layout.

Following the inferred flow of spiritual power in his mind, Mo Hua’s gaze wandered across the stone wall, finally finding a sealed opening at a corner of the wall.

With a point of his finger, the spiritual ink, under the control of his divine sense, condensed into a thread, meandering up to the wall corner, forming a Stone Dissolving Array.

The Stone Dissolving Array is an Eight Trigrams Gen-series formation, capable of silently dissolving mountain stones.

The mountain stone dissolved, turning to powder, rustling down, revealing a passage inside.

This passage was specifically excavated to construct the formation pivot of the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Vision Compound Formation, allowing it to connect all corners to monitor the entire Ten Thousand Demons Prison.

When the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation was abandoned, this passage was covered up as well.

Usually, a non-formation master cultivator, or even a formation master not proficient in Yuan Magnetic formations and unfamiliar with formation architecture and compound formation construction, would not be able to discover these things.

It was clearly not going to fool Mo Hua.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then slowly crept into the formation pivot passage.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is very large.

Thus, to monitor the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the constructed Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation would not be small, and the formation pivot passage is relatively spacious.

This passage is definitely too small for a monster cultivator to enter.

But Mo Hua can.

Though he has grown a bit, being a young adolescent, he is still frail and slender, just right to squeeze into these formation pivot passages.

Inside the passage, it was narrow, gloomy, and somewhat smelly, with lots of dust.

Mo Hua crawled along the passage for a while, getting his entire body dirty.

His fair face was smudged black.

But he didn’t mind.

After crawling for a while, Mo Hua took out a pen and paper to record the direction and layout of the formation pivot, simulating the construction of the formation around the Ten Thousand Demons Prison in his mind.

Then, based on the simulated layout in his mind, he continued to explore forward, bit by bit.

If he encountered a passage blocked by dirt and rock, he drew a Stone Dissolving Array to clear it little by little.

Mo Hua went deeper and deeper...

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a spacious passage, almost allowing for upright walking, appeared before him.

Inside, densely covered with numerous Yuan Magnetic formation patterns.

This was almost the central hub of the Yuan Magnetic flow.

Mo Hua felt a surge of excitement.

”Found it!”

The formation pivot secret chamber.

The core where all formation pivots in the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Vision Compound Formation gather and are controlled.

But this chamber was also completely sealed.

Not only was it cast with stones and earth again, but many layers of formations were reinforced inside.

Mo Hua sighed softly.

”This will take some effort...”

However, he had looked at the formations and found them not too difficult, and the stones could be gradually worn away with the ’Stone Dissolving Array’.

It would just take some time and patience.

For a formation master, meticulousness and patience are not lacking.

Mo Hua took out the Taixu Token and sent Elder Xun a calendar date ”Dingmao” and, after receiving a reply, began to calm his mind, slowly dissolving formations and breaking through the walls...

In the pitch-black passage, Mo Hua’s demeanor was focused, his eyes bright.

After more than an hour, the formation before him flashed, stone fragments flew, and the sealed stone wall broke open like paper.

Mo Hua covered his nose and mouth, once again dust-covered.

When the dust settled, Mo Hua opened his eyes and saw a secret chamber dense with formations, unfamiliar but slightly familiar.

Unfamiliar, because he had never been in this secret chamber before.

Familiar, because he had seen this type of secret chamber layout before.

The formation pivot secret chamber of ”Master Yuan” in the Bi Mountain Demon Cavern was almost identical to this.

This should be the same handiwork.

At least, it was similar construction.

This allowed Mo Hua to roughly confirm that the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was indeed one of the Evil God’s henchmen’s strongholds.

”But I wonder why, after clearly setting up an entire set of Yuan Magnetic Compound Formations to monitor, they were completely abandoned...”

Mo Hua shook his head and jumped into the formation pivot secret chamber.

The chamber was pitch-black and gloomy, covered in dust.

The core formation pivot and all formations within had already been deactivated.

The main gate leading from the chamber to the outer periphery was even more tightly sealed, as if intending to permanently preserve this formation pivot secret chamber, preventing anyone from entering again.

Mo Hua felt a bit fortunate.

Luckily, he came through the formation pivot passage; otherwise, through the front door, he might never enter in his lifetime.

Now everything was ready.

The basic Yuan Magnetic formation pivot framework had already been set up by others long ago.

All he had to do was ’rebuild’ it bit by bit.

Mo Hua took out some spirit stones, ground them into powder, injected the pure spiritual power into the formation pivot, stimulating the formation pivot cycle a bit.
