The Quest for Immortality

During his travels, what Mr. Zhuang imparted to him was ”Dao” rather than ”tool,” it was the heart of seeking Formations that allowed him to observe independently, to comprehend, to perceive, and to completely master all the arduous and challenging Formations in this world—even the Ultimate Formations of superior grade.

Although Mo Hua did not inherit Mr. Zhuang’s Immortal Sky Formation Flow, he inherited the initial heart of seeking the Dao of Formations, as well as the experience and methods for perceiving Ultimate Formations.

Now, he can calculate on his own, he can learn any Formation in this world himself.

This is the most precious wealth Mr. Zhuang taught him.

In his eyes, Mo Hua’s pupils shine brightly, as Heavenly secret Calculation, Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation, and golden glimmers of the Divine Way intertwine into a whole.

All the phenomena of the world are dissected and deconstructed in his eyes.

The Formation Patterns of reversed Spiritual Power are also gradually perceived by him.

The trajectory of Spiritual Power change is revealed in detail.

Under Mo Hua’s calculations, the form of Reversed Transformation, with extremely complex yet subtly aligning with the divine charm of the Great Dao, presents itself one by one, intertwined and flickering in his Sea of Consciousness...

In the eyes of others, Mo Hua was just sitting there in a daze.

Only a very few perceptive Formation Masters could see that Mo Hua was doing ”Calculations,” in ”Perception.”

He was ”learning” on the spot this set of Formation diagrams, which would be deeply obscure and difficult for a Second Grade Array Master.

To others, this Formation might be a tricky, weird, and insurmountable ”challenge.”

But to Mo Hua, this ”Evil Monster,” it was actually a huge ”opportunity.”

It was his chance to perceive the reversed transformation of Spiritual Power.

The Array Discussion Conference was not about being stronger than others.

But to be stronger than oneself.

”Constantly learning more difficult Formations, constantly comprehending deeper Formation principles, constantly surpassing oneself, constantly seeking the Dao of Formations.”

”Perhaps this is the greatest significance of the Array Discussion Competition...”

At this moment, Mo Hua experienced a sudden enlightenment, his heart and mind were clear.

Everything around him dissipates in his perception.

In his eyes, there was only Formation Patterns, only Formation principles, and only the reversed transformation Law left behind after Spiritual Power evolves.

These Laws were chaotic and variegated, resembling the void after fragmentation, black intertwining, accompanying Spiritual Power, constantly extinguishing, constantly breaking down, ultimately decomposing into void... Ř𝙖ℕꝋВÈṦ

Containing a sense of ”extinction” that provokes terror within.

Yet Mo Hua felt entirely familiar.

For he had sensed these Laws before.

All in front of him now was but an expanded range of changes based on the decomposition of Spiritual Power within the First Grade Reversing Spirit Array.

The First Grade Reversing Spirit Array, he was most familiar with it.

He had even used the First Grade Reversing Spirit Array to decompose large formations, and have killed a Daoist Demon.

He deeply understood and personally practiced this trace of Law.

A sense of clarity surfaced in Mo Hua’s eyes.

The law of decomposition imprinted itself in his heart.

And around him, there emerged an aura of ”extinction” that provoked an indistinct fear.

This was a faint phenomenological change brought about in an instant after understanding certain Laws...

Not only Master Wen, but other examiners were aware of something amiss at this moment too.

Their initially relaxed hearts unknowingly became tense again.

”Isn’t it, somewhat not right...”

”Why is there a trace of eeriness with this youth from Taixu Gate...”

”He seems... to have realized something?”

”Realized... what?”

Everyone glanced at each other in confusion.

A somewhat frightening idea slowly rose in their minds.

”It shouldn’t be... really that ’Evil Monster’ status, right?”

No one spoke.

At this very moment, Mo Hua, who had been silently seated, suddenly moved, reaching out his pale hand to pick up the Formation Pen.

The examiners’ hearts tensed intensely.

Then they watched as Mo Hua, with an expression calm and indifferent, neither joy nor sorrow, began to make strokes on the Formation Paper before him, calmly drawing the Formation.

It appeared the same as before.

Yet the examiners all knew, this was completely different!

This Formation compared to the previous one is in an entirely different category!

This is the peak of Nineteen Patterns, a profoundly difficult Formation representing the pinnacle of deliberations, containing the reversed transformation Law of Spiritual Power!

Not the Formation he had seen a short time ago, nor even one he could draw before.

Among the examiners, there was an outburst of astonishment.

Even Master Wen’s pupils trembled.

From the spectator stands, all cultivators, whether they could draw Formations or not, whether skilled in Formations knowing what Mo Hua was doing, or not too familiar but faintly realizing Mo Hua was doing something extraordinary, were completely silent, hardly daring to breathe.

On the Formation Paper, line after line of Formation Patterns were drawn by Mo Hua.

A trace of meaning flowed within the Formation Patterns...

This process was somewhat arduous, yet it encountered no obstruction.

No one knew how long had passed; Mo Hua stopped his pen.

Before him, there was now a complete, obscure and profound Formation Diagram, extraordinary enough to surpass the understanding of usual Second Grade Array Masters.

Because this was his first drawing, the strokes inevitably appeared somewhat unpracticed; there was hesitation in transitions, showing a hint of caution, unlike previous silver hook and iron strokes, neat and forceful, perfect and flawless.

Yet seen overall, it was seamlessly integrated, beginning to end correspond, executed all at once.

An examiner came down, glanced at this Formation Diagram, initially shocked, then with furrowed brows, somewhat hesitant.

He carefully presented this Formation Diagram to Chief Examiner Master Wen.

As soon as Master Wen laid eyes on it, waves of astonishment surged in his mind, murmuring incredulously:

”Indeed, it was... drawn out...”

He appeared serious again, thoroughly examining this Formation from beginning to end, increasingly finding it hard to believe as he looked.
