The Quest for Immortality

"My head, why does it feel a bit sore?"

Bai Zixi paused, her cheeks blushed slightly as she said:

"It was me who hit you..."

"Ah..."

Mo Hua was stunned.

Bai Zixi, with a hint of apology, said softly, "You woke up earlier, but something seemed off, so I knocked you out..."

Mo Hua thought about it and understood.

He had been trapped in the Shrine Taoist Field before, and the Little Five Elements Ghost had escaped to his Sea of Consciousness, intending to take over and seize the chance to break free.

Luckily his little junior sister was smart and knocked him out...

But he couldn’t help but rub his head, muttering to himself:

Little junior sister’s punch hurts...

Has she been practicing Body Refinement along with her spells...

Noticing Mo Hua rubbing the back of his head nonstop, Bai Zixi realized she might have hit him too hard and said with a touch of concern:

"Does it still hurt?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Not so much anymore..."

Bai Zixi thought for a moment and then said softly, "Let me help you rub it."

Mo Hua’s face reddened slightly, "No need..."

But before he could finish speaking, he felt his junior sister’s fingers rubbing his forehead, cool and soft, soothing the pain away in an instant.

Mo Hua’s heart couldn’t help but flutter, and his face became even redder.

After a moment, Mo Hua realized there was another hand on his head. He turned his head to see that Bai Zisheng was also rubbing it.

Mo Hua was startled, "What are you doing?"

Bai Zisheng said, "I’m helping you rub it."

Mo Hua refused, "No need!"

Bai Zisheng, fidgety and careless, messed up his hair.

Bai Zisheng said discontentedly, "This is an elder brother’s affection for his younger brother!"

"No need..."

"To not know the blessings you live in! You’re actually complaining?"

"..."

The two of them bickered and teased.

Mr. Zhuang walked behind them, watching his three disciples with a gentle gaze, his lips slightly upturned.

A breeze blew by, and Mr. Zhuang looked up slightly at the Mountain Protection Array of the Five Elements Sect; the smile in his eyes gradually faded.

After a moment, his gaze became gentle again.

But within that gentleness, there was both regret and wistfulness.

...

After the group returned to the guest rooms and rested briefly, Mr. Zhuang asked Mo Hua:

"Have you learned the Five Elements Spirit Formation?"

"Mm!"

With the Chief Elder not there, Mo Hua didn’t hide anything and nodded with a smile. Experience more on

"Not only that, I also saw something else in the Shrine..."

Mo Hua recounted everything he experienced in the Shrine to Mr. Zhuang, sparing no detail.

Mr. Zhuang was quite surprised:

"Source Pattern?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, then asked:

"Master, is this Source Pattern the Five Elements Formation Flow? Does every Formation Flow have a ’Source Pattern’?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and sighed softly:

"In principle, I shouldn’t tell you about Formation Flows at this time..."

"But since you’ve seen it and learned the Calculation Method, I’ll briefly explain..."

Mo Hua sat up straight, listening attentively.

Mr. Zhuang said, "The so-called Formation Flow, its full name is ’Formation Method Origin Stream,’ which seeks the commonality and essence of a certain type of Formations." ŘÂℕŎᛒÊŞ

"The form of a Formation Flow is diverse."

"Some are a versatile set of Formation Formations, which act like a skeleton. Once mastered, it makes drawing similar Formations much more efficient;"

"Some are a kind of Taoist Meaning. After grasping this Taoist Meaning, similar Formations can be easily understood by analogy;"

"Others are embodied in physical objects: there are swords, diagrams, sculptures, and even mountains and rivers..."

"Of course, there are also what you mentioned, a Formation Pattern."

"Simplify the complex, unify the many, condense thousands of Formations into a single ’Source Pattern’."

"Such Formation Flow inheritances are more difficult and more complex, and the Divine Sense consumed in Calculation is also the most."

Mr. Zhuang said this, shook his head, and his expression turned contemplative:

"I never imagined that the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect would have such great ambition, to expend the power of an entire Sect in Calculation of the ’Source Pattern,’ to create a Formation Flow, with the desire to make the Sect’s Formations flourish and become a giant in the Formations field..."

Mo Hua couldn’t help asking:

"Master, how is the Five Elements Formation Flow different from the Immortal Sky Formation Flow?"

"Does our Sect’s Immortal Sky Formation Flow contain the Five Elements Formation Flow?"

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment before slowly speaking and explaining:

"Formation Flow signifies the Formation Method Origin Stream."

"But this so-called ’Origin Stream’ might not necessarily be the true ’Origin Stream.’"

Mo Hua was puzzled, frowning, then his eyes brightened:

"The Origin Stream is comprehended by people, and even if it approaches the Great Dao, it might not be the true Great Dao?"

Mr. Zhuang’s eyes brightened with approval as he nodded:

"That’s right, so the so-called Formation Method Origin Stream might not necessarily be the true origin, but rather the Formation Master’s comprehension and summary of the ’Origin Stream’ for a Formation Flow."

"As such with the Immortal Sky Formation Flow, so with the Five Elements Formation Flow. The same principle applies."

"In other words, the Formation Flow formed by the Five Elements Sect’s Calculation of the Five Elements Formations is called ’Five Elements Formation Flow.’

"Other Sects that comprehend the origin of the Five Elements Formations can also call it ’Five Elements Formation Flow.’

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua again with a profound meaning:

"Someday, if you comprehend the essence of the Five Elements and create your own Formation Flow, it can also be called ’Five Elements Formation Flow.’"

Mo Hua had an epiphany:

"So, the Immortal Sky Formation Flow, encompassing the Formation Method Origin Streams of all heavens, even if it includes the Five Elements Formations, may differ from the Five Elements Sect’s Five Elements Formation Flow, and might even be completely different?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said:
