The Quest for Immortality

”The puzzle formation’s riddle is ’false’, the answer is ’true’. Only by seeing through appearances can one grasp the essence of the Formation.”

In that moment, it was as if a sudden thunderclap erupted by his ear, Mr. Tu’s pupils contracted sharply, and his heart chilled.

”This brat... used the Formation I taught him to deceive me?!”

No... not just that...

Mr. Tu frowned again, examined Mo Hua’s Formation carefully, and only then did he suddenly realize that what Mo Hua did was far more complex than he had imagined.

What is called a Mystery Formation, the riddle is false, the answer is true.

Yet between truth and falsehood, reality is hard to discern.

What Mo Hua did was to preserve the riddle’s facade as ’false’, but according to his own idea, altered the ’true’ answer, thus painting other Formations on the surface while the puzzle formation’s Pattern remained unchanged.

He altered the puzzle, the riddle remains the same, but the answer is vastly different.

Mr. Tu’s cheeks twitched, finding it hard to believe.

Mo Hua being able to do this means his proficiency in these ancient ”Mystery Formations” far surpasses his own as a Fourth-grade Formation Master.

Not only can he see through reality and falsehood, but he can also alter reality and define falsehood independently.

This brat... he’s playing the pig to eat the tiger!

Right from the start, he was deceiving me!

Mr. Tu was so angry his eyes turned red, his heart ached.

But it’s still not over...

At this point, all he knows is the means Mo Hua used to lay out the ”Mystery Formation” and where Mo Hua hid the exam questions.

The next question is, what exactly are the exam questions he hid?

Mr. Tu dipped his finger in blood, drew a blood Pattern, isolating one of Mo Hua’s Mystery Formations, and then with Evil Power, urged the Formations’ Patterns.

An obscure light began to shine.

The Mystery Formation Patterns underwent a mysterious change, like a blooming epiphyllum, the riddle was revealed, exposing a Pattern hidden by Mo Hua.

The Pattern was obscure and ancient, with a hint of destructive charm.

Mr. Tu glanced at it and felt his heart still.

Reversed Spirit!

Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation!

At that instant, he felt the urge to shred Mo Hua, the ”Instructor” of this exam question, into a thousand pieces.

Who in their right mind, which Formation Master, would lay out such an absurd thing as a Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation?

And place it at the core of a Large Formation on top of that?!

Mr. Tu’s hand was trembling.

Meanwhile, he instantly understood a shocking truth:

Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, Second Grade Twenty Patterns!

Mo Hua, this brat, being able to lay a Reversed Spirit Formation indicates his Divine Sense has already reached Twenty Patterns.

Foundation Building Cultivation, Divine Thought Twenty Patterns Core Formation, breaking through the taboos of the Great Dao, crossing an entire Realm.

Mo Hua’s mind, the person himself, is truly an extraordinary phenomenon!

But Mr. Tu already had no time to be shocked.

Time was slipping away, Mo Hua, this extraordinary ”Instructor”, had given him an extraordinary exam question and imprinted this exam question onto the core of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

If he doesn’t solve this problem, all his efforts up to now will count for nothing.

A thousand years of painstaking effort, gone in a day.

Mr. Tu suppressed the killing intent in his heart, began to think about how to solve the problem Mo Hua left him.

First, the Reversed Spirit Formation was intact, meaning it hadn’t been triggered.

Surely, Mo Hua also didn’t want himself to be blown to pieces, so all the Reversed Spirit Formations were used by him as ”answers”, hidden under the ”riddle”.

As long as the Reversed Spirit Formation wasn’t triggered, no collapse would occur.

But Mr. Tu knew, Mo Hua drawing these Reversed Spirit Formations, was definitely not for fun.

He must have left some method to ”ignite”, using the Reversed Spirit Formation to dismantle the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

For a Second Grade Reversed Spirit Formation, logically, it shouldn’t dismantle a Quasi-Third Grade Blood Sacrifice Formation.

But dismantling the core of the Blood Sacrifice Formation was more than enough.

And once the core was destroyed, the Formation eye’s energy supply would be cut off, the entire Blood Sacrifice Formation would temporarily be rendered useless.

At which point the forces of Qianxue rush in, with the Blood Sacrifice Formation’s cover gone, all Demon Cultivators would find it hard to evade death.

That was probably Mo Hua’s cunning scheme.

He wants to ”destroy the formation and silence the witnesses.”

The question is, what method did Mo Hua leave behind to trigger the Reversed Spirit Formation?

Mr. Tu wanted to attempt to directly destroy the Reversed Spirit Formation Pattern, but he was shocked again, not daring to act rashly.

Doing so would be akin to ”ripping up the exam paper”.

If these Reversed Spirit Formations were set with a ”destructive” ignition method, once destroyed, it would reverse explode immediately, then it would be too late for regrets.

Then what, do nothing and just leave it alone?

Anyway, the Blood Sacrifice Formation was running smoothly now, as long as it was left alone, the Reversed Spirit Formation wouldn’t activate?

Mr. Tu frowned, realizing this thought was too naive.

This is a Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, engraved on the Large Formation’s core, how could he dare to leave it unchecked?

Moreover, Mo Hua’s scheming is definitely not that simple.

This ”exam question” surely has other conditions...

Mr. Tu suddenly recalled the ”tick-tock” sound in his intuition, immediately released his Divine Sense, endeavoring to distinguish the ”riddle” Mo Hua had laid down, and finally found a puzzle Pattern entirely different from all other Formation Patterns within the Mystery Formation node.

Mr. Tu severed the puzzle Pattern, broke the riddle, and what appeared before him was unexpectedly a Formation shaped like a ”Sun Dial”, engraved with twelve heavenly stem hours.

Mr. Tu was startled.

”Sun Dial Formation!”

This is an extremely uncommon timing Formation. .

Generally, Formation Masters rarely learn these.

But Mo Hua is special, he is the Qianxue Array Dao Leader, a Formation genius who delves into the formation foundation of Taixu Gate.

Whatever Formation he learns, Mr. Tu was not surprised.

Even a Second Grade Twenty Patterns Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation he could master, needless to say, some uncommon timing-use Sun Dial Formation.
