The Quest for Immortality

Mo Hua then set up a Formation around, with some that isolated their aura to prevent detection, and created control-type Formations to prevent himself from running amok if he were to be "parasitized."

The Formations within the room were dense and intricate like a spider web.

Mo Hua patted his hands together, feeling considerably more at ease.

But he still wasn’t completely reassured, so he ran next door and knocked.

Bai Zixi opened the door, looking at Mo Hua with confusion.

Mo Hua said, "Senior Sister, if I act abnormally later, stop me and then call for Master."

Bai Zixi’s eyes lit up, "Should I knock you out too?"

Mo Hua’s head started to throb subtly, but he still clenched his teeth and said, "Knock me out!" Then he added:

"But, could you... go a bit easier?"

After entrusting her with the task, Mo Hua returned to his room and placed the "Five Elements Formation Flow Map," which held the Five-elements Variant Source Pattern, in front of him.

Just as Mo Hua was about to open it, he hesitated once more, feeling that he could still be a bit more "cowardly"...

Mo Hua checked the sky, it was already 22 p.m, and before long, it would be 1 p.m.

At 1 p.m, within his Sea of Consciousness, a Taoist Stele appeared.

With the Taoist Stele as his support, he would proceed to comprehend the Map.

"A delayed sharpening doesn’t slow the chopping of wood, just wait a bit more..."

Mo Hua sat cross-legged, calming his mind and spirit.

As 1 p.m. struck, Mo Hua suddenly opened his eyes, then opened the Map, calmly visualizing and focusing intently on the Calculation.

The Source Pattern closed its eyes, with no anomalies, it was just the usual Formation Flow.

It was the Formation Method Origin Stream formed by summarizing various Formations.

Following the Calculation Method of the Five Elements Sect, Mo Hua began to calculate in reverse.

Indeed, at the edge of the Source Pattern within his Sea of Consciousness, tiny bits of the Formation Patterns slowly separated, evolved, and eventually formed various complete Formations.

Mo Hua was very familiar with these Formations.

They were all commonly used Five Elements Formations within the realm of the First-grade, and while the methods were a bit different due to their ancient heritage, the Formation Patterns had some alterations, they were largely the same.

Mo Hua’s spirit was lifted.

Master was right; reverse Calculation was feasible.

This Source Pattern was a Taoist Repository, a treasure of Formations that contained countless Five Elements Formations.

Once one learned to perform Calculations, it would be possible to reverse engineer and obtain various Five Elements Formation Diagrams.

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened as he continued his Calculations.

The Sea of Consciousness was silent, Mo Hua’s mind was undistracted.

After spending most of the night on it, Mo Hua had finally understood another point.

The reverse computations were related to the strength of the Divine Sense.

The stronger the Divine Sense, the higher the grade of the Five Elements Formations he could calculate.

With his Divine Sense at the peak of Thirteen Stripes, the Formation Patterns he derived were also below Thirteen Stripes.

Formations above Thirteen Stripes were beyond his ability to "decode."

As for which specific Formations he could derive, it was up to fate.

So far, the Formations that Mo Hua had derived from the "Source Pattern" were varied, although all categorized under Five Elements, encompassing complete representations of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, ranging from Formations with three or four patterns to First-grade Formations with nine.

It was like drawing lots; whatever you drew was what you got, without any particular pattern.

Mo Hua furrowed his brow.

According to his deduction, the process of Calculating the Source Pattern and deriving the Formation Flow was complex. Such a large "Tao Cultivation project" must certainly follow specific protocols and rules.

These Formation Patterns must also be arranged in a given order and framework, coming together to form the Source Pattern, and could not possibly be in a state of chaos.

However, Mo Hua was not yet clear on this and would have to continue his comprehension in the future...

Mo Hua couldn’t help but admire the situation again.

Thousands of years of heritage...

How many Formations could be contained within this Source Pattern?

What would it look like if it was completely Calculated and fully "decoded"?

What if he could learn all the Formations contained herein?

Being knowledgeable in both Formations and Calculation,

Wouldn’t he become like a "Human-shaped Source Pattern"?

Mo Hua entertained these thoughts wildly, filled with anticipation in his heart.

As his mind wandered, he suddenly felt sleepy, as though the prolonged Calculation had made him weary, and his Divine Sense was also significantly depleted.

Mo Hua’s eyelids were fighting each other, and he was vaguely dozing off, his little head nodding repeatedly...

Maybe a little sleep...

That was what Mo Hua thought, but suddenly, he was jolted awake.

Sleep? What sleep?

This was in his own Sea of Consciousness, in front of the Taoist Stele; he never felt sleepy!

"Something’s off!"

When Mo Hua opened his eyes, he saw that the "Source Pattern" on the Five Elements Formation Flow Map had somehow opened its eyes!

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat, and he braced himself entirely, examining his own Divine Sense.

Sure enough!

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, there was an intricate array of Formation Patterns.

This "Source Pattern" was restless again, harboring ill intentions, taking advantage of his focused Calculations and his exhausted Divine Sense to create an Earth Series Sleeping Formation, intending to make him drowsy and fall asleep.

Meanwhile, its Formation Patterns, like ants or tentacles, were secretly infiltrating his Sea of Consciousness!

"It still wants to parasite itself on me?"

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened.

Not right!

Following the Formation Patterns, Mo Hua realized with a start:

"The Source Pattern’s target is the Taoist Stele?"

"Does it have the audacity to parasite onto the Taoist Stele?"

Mo Hua frowned, his mind racing, and he soon grew solemn:

"No, it wants to... assimilate with the Taoist Stele?"

Mo Hua was suddenly enlightened.

The Taoist Stele, formless and in line with the Great Dao, carried the essence of the Great Dao on itself.

Did this "Source Pattern" want to assimilate with the Great Dao and merge with the Taoist Stele?!

"This Source Pattern wants to be a ’concubine,’ cleaving to the Taoist Stele?!"

Does it even qualify?

Mo Hua’s eyebrow twitched, intending to use the Calculation to reorganize the Formation Patterns and force the Source Pattern back into the Five Elements Formation Flow Map.

However, his Calculation was still a bit too slow. Several five-colored Formation Patterns had already spread through Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness, latching onto the central Taoist Stele.
