Chapter 631: Chapter 538 “Pastry”_1
Mo Hua then realized that his vision had been too narrow…
The inheritance of the Five Elements Sect far exceeded his expectations!
But the confusion in his heart only grew:
What was the difference between the Five Elements Formation Flow and the Immortal Sky Formation Flow?
If the Immortal Sky Formation Flow governed all the formations under the heavens and aligned with the Dao of Formation, did it include the Five Elements Formation Flow?
Did the Five Elements Formation Flow contain some Formation principles that the Immortal Sky Formation Flow had never touched upon?
Or were they completely different inheritances?
Mo Hua was somewhat puzzled.
Besides that, there was an even more important question:The Five Elements Sect built a Shrine, established a Taoist Field, calculated Formations, simplified complexity, and united the multitude into one, in an attempt to deduce the deepest and most abstruse Formation Flow within the inheritance of formations.
Had they, in the end, calculated it?
If they had, where was this Five Elements Formation Flow?
Or rather, what exactly was the Five Elements Formation Flow, and in what form did it exist?
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.
It was then that he realized he truly had no idea what a Formation Flow actually was.
He had never studied the Immortal Sky Formation Flow, not even seen it, only grasping a vague concept, understanding only half of it.
Mo Hua furrowed his brow, contemplating with doubt in his heart:
"What exactly is the so-called ‘Formation Flow’ as an inheritance?”
"Is it a Cultivation Technique? A Taoist Skill? A formation arrangement? A string of thoughts? An insight? A Divine Thought?”
"Or is it like the Five Elements Spirit Formation, a display of some Formation principle?”
Mo Hua searched the Taoist Field once again with great detail but still found nothing—the only anomaly, the Formation Patterns in the central Taoist Field.
He hadn’t noticed them before, but now that he had learned the Five Elements Calculation Method and applied it to deduce, he discovered many of the Patterns in the center of the field were actually incomplete.
It was as if they had premises but no conclusions.
There were Calculations but no Formation Flow.
Mo Hua sighed with a hint of regret.
It seemed that they hadn’t figured it out…
But after thinking it over, this seemed normal.
If the Five Elements Sect truly had calculated the Five Elements Formation Flow and used it as their inheritance, they would have greatly flourished in the way of Formations, ascending to the ranks of a top Formation Sect, and their descendants wouldn’t have fallen into decline like this.
It appeared that a Formation Flow was exceedingly difficult to calculate.
Probably, the Five Elements Sect had wanted to accomplish everything in one stroke, expending massive human and material resources, as well as the mental power of Formation Masters, only to fail in the end, unable to calculate the Formation Flow, leading the Sect to waste its time, deplete its foundation, and suffer greatly, gradually leading to its decline…
They gambled on their fortune but lost…
Such a pity…
Mo Hua felt a touch of regret.
He genuinely wanted to experience for himself what the true Five Elements Formation Flow was like.
But on second thought, being able to learn the Five Elements Sect’s Calculation Method was already quite an accomplishment.
One must not be too greedy.
Moreover, having learned this Calculation, did it mean…
When his Divine Sense was strong enough and his study of Formations was deep enough in the future, he could try to calculate the Formation Flow himself?
To deduce my own Formation Flow?
A spark of excitement leaped in Mo Hua’s heart, his eyes shone brightly, filled with anticipation.
Mo Hua gazed at the Taoist Field once more.
This Taoist Field, which recorded the method of Formation Flow deduction, was the true Heritage Taoist Field of the Five Elements Sect.
But this was as far as he could learn.
After all, the Shrine belonged to the Five Elements Sect, not to him; he could not continue studying there indefinitely.
He needed to find a way to leave.
Mo Hua circled around once more and found that the key to leaving was still the meditation mat.
When he came in, Mo Hua had noticed that there were Formation Patterns on the meditation mat within the Heritage Taoist Field, but these Patterns were Variant Formation Patterns.
At first, he didn’t understand them.
Now that he had understood the unique Calculation Method of the Five Elements Sect, he got it.
The Calculation Method, itself, was the method of opening the way.
He flipped over the meditation mat, then started to calculate and deduce, summarizing the Formation on the mat into a single Pattern, and drew that Pattern at the center of the mat.
The scenery around him twisted and merged, inside and out, upside down.
Mo Hua felt dizzy and his head swelled. After a moment, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself out of the Heritage Taoist Field.
Now, he was in the Skill Transmission Taoist Field.
The surroundings were adorned with wooden carvings and clay sculptures, figures of chariots and Spirit Beasts, and decorative motifs of treasure vases and flowers, no longer the Taoist Field’s original array of Patterns.
All was empty around him.
The Little Five Elements Ghost was nowhere to be seen.
"Ran away, huh
Mo Hua’s gaze became sharp and focused.
To trap him in the Taoist Field and then look for a way to escape and survive?
He took note of this debt!
Mo Hua looked around once again.
Now, the Skill Transmission Taoist Field was silent as the grave.
Four hours had passed, the incense had burned out, the Shrine was sealed, no entry from the outside, no exit to the inside, and he could no longer see the scenery outside.
Mo Hua made his way along the exterior of the Taoist Field to the Shrine’s door.
He had entered through this door before.
Now, the door was tightly shut, surrounded by a dense array of Formations, like layers of chains, completely locking the door and isolating the inside of the Shrine from the outside.
But Mo Hua let out a breath of relief.
For him, a problem with Formations wasn’t really a problem.
To try to confine him with Formations was impossible.
Mo Hua frowned in thought.
"Which method should I use to open the door?”
To break the Formation?
That seemed too much effort.
To decipher the Formation?
The Formations on this door were crafted by the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect, probably for the sake of inheritance. Therefore, they were only of first grade, but the methods were very special and ancient.
It would be quite time-consuming to actually go through and decipher each Formation.
With little time to spare, better to try a different solution…
Mo Hua’s eyes brightened.
Formation Collapse!
Ever since he had annihilated Feng Xi using Great Formation Dissolution, it had been a long time since Mo Hua had attempted a Formation Collapse.
His master had cautioned him not to use collapse lightly and never to let others discover it.
But now he was inside the Five Elements Sect’s Shrine, where there was no one else, not even a “ghost” to be found, so a secret “collapse” should go unnoticed.
