The Quest for Immortality

This is the first time Mo Hua has seen a Formation that seems to be ”alive” and has life.

Before this, he had only seen his uncle’s Formation with similar effects.

But his uncle’s Deceit Pattern divides and spawns on its own, even parasitizes.

Unlike the Taotie Pattern he draws, which can ”eat” other Formations like a monster.

Even Mo Hua himself feels a strange ”eerie” sensation.

He doesn’t know what kind of ”Formation Master” he will become if he continues to learn like this...

But now is not the time to be troubled by these things.

Wherever there is a Formation, he learns it, wherever there is a Formation principle, he comprehends it.

This is also the inherent pursuit of knowledge within Mo Hua, his greedy desire to ceaselessly seek the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Laws.

The ”Heart of Taotie” gradually imprints upon Mo Hua’s Divine Soul.

Mo Hua continues to activate the ”Taotie Devouring Formation” to ”eat” the Dragon Transformation Formation.

The Taotie Pattern within the Taotie Devouring Formation extends its tentacle-like Formation Patterns like a monster, transforming into an Abyssal mouth, devouring the Dragon Transformation Formation.

The inherent Taotie Law circulates dominantly.

The Dragon Transformation Formation resists.

This is the battle of Formations, the invasion of Laws.

The twenty-three patterns, imbued with the Taotie Law, hold a Devouring Ultimate Formation, with both Formation grade and inherent Law evidently stronger.

The twenty-pattern Dragon Transformation Formation stands markedly inferior, quickly being engulfed, ”chewed,” and ”assimilated”...

Once the inky black Taotie Pattern fades away.

The Dragon Transformation Formation becomes ”shattered,” as if it had been ”chewed” by a Fierce Beast Formation, with tendons and bones broken, leaving only scattered ”remaining patterns.”

Mo Hua watches, feeling both ”cruel” and marvelous.

And true to form, these scattered ”remaining patterns” possess a certain ”unity.”

This unity is a part of the Taotie devouring and digesting Law.

These Laws, with the ”chewing” of the Taotie, infiltrate the remaining patterns, resembling Taotie’s ”saliva” when eating...

Mo Hua checks the remaining patterns, frowning slightly.

What perplexes him is that the Taotie Devouring Formation, after ”eating” the Dragon Transformation Formation, leaves relatively complete remaining patterns.

In his expectations, Taotie consuming Formations should definitely digest part of them, and what cannot be digested would be expelled.

This is the true meaning of ”eating.”

But the current situation is more like Taotie chewed the Formation as ”food,” chewed it up, added spit, and then spit it back out fully.

This doesn’t seem like ”eating,” more like the ”deconstruction” of a Four Symbols Demon Pattern Formation.

More figuratively, it’s ”swallow and deconstruct.”

Swallow it, then directly deconstruct the original Formation.

Mo Hua thinks for a moment, considering two possibilities.

”One possibility is that this Formation only contains part of the Taotie’s Power, so it can only swallow and deconstruct but can’t ’transform.’

”Another possibility is that my understanding of the Taotie Law isn’t deep, and my mastery of the Taotie Devouring Formation isn’t sufficient, so at this stage, the activated Formation can only chew but can’t truly ’eat.’

Mo Hua cannot determine which possibility.

The Taotie Formation is different from ordinary Ultimate Formations.

The Ultimate Formations Mo Hua learned before mostly contained single Laws within. The involved Taoist meaning is also specific and unique.

But the Taotie, being a Fierce Beast of Heaven and Earth, devours all things, even devouring the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The Laws inherent within it are likely not a single Law.

But possibly, since its birth, continuously devouring, continuously refining, eventually forming a whole, cyclical and self-consistent...

”Law Chain.”

Therefore, the Ultimate Formation with Taotie’s Power has so many types.

Different Taotie Ultimate Formations have different logic and expressions; even their purposes seem completely different.

Mo Hua had only vaguely guessed this previously.

Now, having comprehended the Taotie Devouring Law and acquired the ”Heart of Taotie,” in a certain sense, he also possesses Taotie’s instincts.

Thus, he can almost instinctively understand the ways of Taotie.

He can also roughly confirm that this guess is valid.

If that’s the case, to truly comprehend the ”Taotie Law,” means mastering all Formations related to Taotie and then constructing a cyclical and self-consistent ”Taotie Law Chain.”

Thus, the Taotie Devouring Formation can only ”swallow,” can’t ”transform,” can only ”deconstruct,” but can’t ”eliminate,” which is reasonable.

The Ultimate Formation isn’t imbued with complete Taotie’s Power.

What Mo Hua has comprehended is only a part of the Taotie Law, not a complete Law Chain.

At the current stage, his Formation can only ”swallow and deconstruct,” but cannot ”swallow and transform.”

Mo Hua feels it’s somewhat regrettable.

But for now, possessing this ”swallow and deconstruct” power is already sufficient.

Sufficient for Mo Hua to use it as a prelude Law to comprehend the mystery of ”Dragon Transformation.”

Taotie devours demons, followed by all demons transforming into dragons.

Now the Taotie Formation can ”swallow” the Monster Formation.

Afterwards, using the remnants, ”chewed up” and ”assimilated” by Taotie, attempt to reassemble the Formation.

In other words, first use the Taotie Formation to consume the ”Bone Formation.”

Then, reorganize the ”Bone Formation” with its remnants to comprehend the inherent Laws of the Bone Formation.

And what is contained in this process is the Law of all demons transforming into dragons.

It’s just that this is not the true ”Dragon Transformation.”
