Chapter 527: Life Gate

Mo Hua began to study the mountain protection formation of the Five Elements Sect.

But this formation is, after all, a second-grade formation, and a second-grade formation. Mo Hua has no foundation at all, and it is still very difficult to study it.

However, after pondering for a long time, Mo Hua also saw some tricks.

The second-grade formation is different from the first-grade formation.

Its formation pattern is more complex and more profound, and the spiritual power that activates the formation is also stronger. The essence of the spiritual power flowing in the formation is also fundamentally different from that of the first-grade formation.

This difference is a bit like the difference between Qi Refining Spiritual Power and Foundation Building Spiritual Power.

The spiritual power of Qi Refining is still Qi.

The spiritual power of Foundation Building is like mercury.

Spiritual power is like mercury, that is, like mercury, condensed into liquid.

The spiritual power of the second-grade formation is like this.

The spiritual consciousness calculation is also not good.

Although Mo Hua has the peak consciousness of thirteen patterns, reaching the limit of the early stage of foundation building, the formation patterns of the second-grade formation and the first-grade formation are qualitatively different.

So after the calculation, the array pattern that emerged in the sea of ​​consciousness was a group of deep, complex, and dense patterns, which looked completely incomprehensible.

Fortunately, although the array pattern is difficult to understand, the array pivot structure is generally the same.

Mo Hua could not deduce the specific array pattern, but he could still deduce the basic structure of the second-grade five-element mountain protection array by analogy with the five-element demon-killing array and based on experience.

After spending several days, Mo Hua had a rough understanding of the skeleton of the mountain protection array.

But Mo Hua did not know the more specific and in-depth details of the array.

But these are enough.

At least Mo Hua has a preliminary grasp and understanding of the five-element mountain protection array.

The five-element mountain protection array, as its name suggests, is mainly defensive.

Most of the many single arrays in parallel are second-grade arrays of the five elements earth, wood, and gold.

The purpose is to strengthen the sect, protect disciples, and resist foreign enemies.

As Mr. Zhuang said, in the third-grade state, if such a second-grade formation is built, no matter what kind of force attacks, as long as the formation is opened, it will basically be invincible.

There is a limit to the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Formation.

In the third-grade state, with Mo Hua's limited experience in cultivation, it is hard to think of how to break this mountain protection formation.

In addition, Mo Hua also found a problem.

This formation seems to have been renovated.

The Five Elements Sect has built cave palaces and moved the foundation of the sect, which will naturally affect the formation.

Now this Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation seems to have been changed in many places.

Mo Hua went to ask Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang also nodded and sighed:

"Yes, they don't know how to cherish the formation left by their ancestors..."

Mo Hua looked at Mo Hua again and asked:

"How is the research going?"

Mo Hua told Mr. Zhuang about the formation pattern, the formation hub, and some formation structures that he had figured out.

Mr. Zhuang nodded and praised:

"You see it well."

Mo Hua chuckled.

Mr. Zhuang asked again: "Do you still remember the gate of life?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and nodded.

He remembered Mr. Zhuang said that in the theory of formation, there is life and death, and there is death and life.

When the formation is broken through the reverse spirit formation, it is the "death" in the theory of formation, and when the formation is broken, there is a ray of life in the dead state, which is the "gate of life" in the formation.

Thinking of this, Mo Hua was startled and whispered:

"Master, you are not going to collapse the Five Elements Sect's formation, are you..."

Mr. Zhuang was stunned and couldn't help laughing:

"What are you thinking about... The formation will collapse, causing too much damage, which is against the harmony of nature. How can we use it so casually."

Mr. Zhuang drew a picture of a mountain on the paper, outlined a few lines along the mountain, and instructed:

"This is the vein of the main formation hub of the Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation, please remember it."

"When the formation is flowing, there will be a life gate on the formation hub."

"This small section, although it is a second-grade formation hub, is similar to the pattern of the Five Elements Demon Killing Formation, and you have enough spiritual awareness, you should be able to derive the life gate yourself..."

"Okay, Master." Mo Hua nodded.

But he was a little confused.

Why did the master ask him to calculate the "life gate"?

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said with some worry:

"Master, does the Five Elements Sect want to use a large formation to deal with us?"

Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled and touched Mo Hua's head, "Don't worry, just prepare for a rainy day."

Seeing that Mo Hua was still a little worried, Mr. Zhuang explained:

"The second-grade large formation is not available everywhere. The opportunity is rare. I just take this opportunity to teach you some key points of the second-grade large formation..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he said gratefully:

"Thank you, Master!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded happily, and then taught some key points of the second-grade large formation.

There is no specific drawing method, only some formation hubs, formation eyes, including some large macro-directional ideas.

Mo Hua listened with great interest.

He has already constructed a first-grade large formation.

The second-grade large formation does not involve specific formation methods, and it can be understood simply from the formation theory.

I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to really construct a second-grade large formation in the future.

After Mr. Zhuang finished teaching, he instructed:

"Remember these words. If you have time, think about them more and go look at the Five Elements Sect's formation and verify it yourself."

"Also, you must do more calculations on the formation pivot I drew to find a way out."

Mr. Zhuang looked a little serious.

Mo Hua didn't understand, but nodded seriously.

From then on, Mo Hua followed Mr. Zhuang's teachings and began to observe the second-level formation of the Five Elements Sect.

At the same time, as soon as I had free time, I began to calculate the large formation pivot point on the mountainside that Mr. Zhuang had pointed out.

From the constantly circulating formation hub, look for the ever-changing gate of life...

By the time I've finished observing ink painting, I've become proficient in calculation.

Mr. Zhuang then called Master Liao and ordered:

"We've got some rest, and you can fulfill your agreement."

Leader Liao was startled.

Agreement...

Naturally, it means asking Mr. Zhuang’s disciples to learn the agreement of the Five Elements Absolute Formation.

Headmaster Liao said with a smile: "It's still early, senior, you might as well rest for a few more days. I will discuss this matter with the elders of the inner sect..."

Mr. Zhuang said calmly:

"What I just said was a notification, not a discussion."

Master Liao was shameless and wanted to evade, but suddenly his heart sank. He looked up and saw Mr. Zhuang's eyes were introverted. His whole body was like a peerless sharp sword, with a majestic and arrogant aura.

There was no spiritual power fluctuation, no sign of magic.

But it has a strong sense of oppression.

He couldn't resist even a little bit.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes also seemed to be filled with thousands of sword lights, as if he could directly see through the details of Master Liao, which made him tremble with fear, lowering his head, not daring to look directly.

After a while, everything disappeared.

There is no power, no oppression.

The breeze blew by, but there was nothing.

Head Liao was sweating coldly and said in a trembling voice:

"Senior, please calm down, junior... I will... report back to the Great Elder..."

…

Head Liao retreated in panic, then arrived at the Houshan Cave Mansion and reported the matter to the Great Elder.

The great elder slapped the case angrily, "It's too much to bully someone!"

"The pressure of divine consciousness!"

"Do you really think there is no one in my Five Elements Sect?!"

Leader Liao said silently in his heart, isn't it that our Five Elements Sect has no one...

But there was no trace of resentment in his heart.

He just doesn't understand.

That man obviously has no spiritual power and his sea of ​​consciousness is broken. Why can he still have such terrifying pressure from his divine consciousness?

It seems that there is no need to take action at all, just one look at him, he will be heartbroken and die!

Leader Liao was still frightened.

This is still a situation where that person is in despair, and his cultivation and strength are very low. If he were in his prime, how powerful he would be...

No wonder so many people have to be cautious and go to great lengths to deal with him...

This person is truly terrifying!

Head Liao calmed down and asked about business:

"Great Elder, what should we do now?"

The Great Elder glanced at Master Liao indifferently, his face expressionless, but his heart was irritable:

"Whenever something happens, you have to ask yourself what to do. How can you look like a leader?"

"In this way, how can we take on the great responsibility of revitalizing the Five Elements Sect?"

The great elder said: "Hold on..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Liao smiled bitterly and said, "I can't delay it any longer..."

The man looked at him, and he was frightened.

If it drags on any longer and is looked at by him a few more times, I guess my heart will be broken, if not heartbroken.

How dare you delay this?

The great elder frowned.

Leader Liao stood aside, speechless, and after a moment he slowly said:

"How about letting them learn?"

"no!"

The great elder said firmly.

He glanced at Master Liao with cold eyes, "We must not let them learn it!"

"I've said it before, even if this formation is bad, it can only be done by our Five Elements Sect!"

"Even if no one learns it, even if it is lost, it cannot fall into the hands of outsiders!"

Head Liao was a little embarrassed, "Then..."

I don’t want them to learn, but I don’t dare to really prevent them from learning.

Their Five Elements Sect cannot afford to offend that person...

The Great Elder also knew the difficulty of this matter, and his turbid eyes flashed slightly, "Let's set some tests."

test?

Leader Liao hesitated and said: "It seems that there is no such rule in the sect..."

"It's starting to happen now." The great elder said calmly.

As expected of a great elder, he lives a long time and is thick-skinned.

Head Liao cursed in his heart, and then asked:

"But this test...how to test? Who should be tested? Mr. Kao Zhuang, or his disciples?"

The great elder's eyes were cold, "Can you use your brain? Who is named Zhuang...who can take the test for him? Who is worthy of taking the test for him?"

Leader Liao's eyes were slightly cold, but he was not angry. He just nodded slightly.

That is to test his disciples.

"Great Elder, how do you plan to take the exam?"

The great elder said solemnly: "Let's hold a meeting on Taoism."

"Can you talk about Taoism... compare formations?"

The great elder nodded.

Leader Liao hesitated, "But, who will compete?"

The great elder frowned and said:

"The elders and teachers within the sect are definitely not good enough. This is obviously bullying the smaller ones. The person named Zhuang will definitely not agree. In this case... we can only compete with each other on formations..."

"Disciples from the inner sect are going to compete..."

"That person's disciple must beat all the inner disciples of our Five Elements Sect in formation techniques before he can learn the Five Elements Spiritual Formation of our Five Elements Sect's town sect!"

Leader Liao said softly: "Great Elder, are you serious?"

The great elder looked unhappy.

Leader Liao reminded: "If nothing else, his little disciple is already a first-grade formation master..."

A truly valuable first-grade formation master...

Currently, among the inner disciples of the Five Elements Sect, no one can reach the first level of Qi refining.

How does this compare?

Do you want him to slap our Five Elements Sect in the face in public?

She even put her face up to hit him...

Leader Liao was speechless.

The great elder shook his head, "Otherwise!"

Leader Liao didn't understand.

The great elder asked: "Are there some disciples in the inner sect who are already at the first-grade level, but have repeatedly failed to achieve success?"

Leader Liao nodded, "Yes."

The great elder breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Leader Liao asked: "What do you mean..."

The Great Elder pondered: "The Dao Court's products are limited to a limited number of places, and the water in them can be deep or shallow."

"Some places are remote and have few formation masters, so the ordering is looser. The level of formation masters is also somewhat lacking."

"And some family members and young monks, for the sake of the reputation of being a genius, use their connections and connections. Even if their standards are lower, they can still get a first-grade one."

"This first-grade product contains more water."

Leader Liao frowned, "Are you saying that the little formation master named Mo is this kind of first-grade formation master?"

The Great Elder nodded slowly, "Even if you don't go through the back door, there is a high probability that you will order a first-class order in a remote place."

The Great Elder said again: "Our Five Elements Sect is not like that."

"There are many sects based on formations in the border of Dalishan State, and this place was once a resort for formations. Even though it is different from the past, after all, the foundation is still there, and there are many formation masters."

“It’s extremely difficult to define a brand in this state!”

"Even if you order a product, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"Because the final product is not compared with monks of the same age, but with all the formation masters who refine Qi and even some foundation-building masters. The best will be chosen."

"Others have been practicing Taoism for longer than you, have stronger spiritual consciousness than you, have been immersed in formations for many years, and have drawn more formations than you. How can these ordinary disciples compare to you?"

"So it's normal that they can't determine the top grade."

"At the same time, don't think that they can't be considered top-grade because their formation skills are not up to par."

"Place them in some small fairy cities and in the borders of second-grade states, and they are already genuine first-grade formation masters."

"Therefore, some of the disciples in the sect who have not yet been determined to be in the first level may not be inferior to the young disciple named Zhuang who has been determined to be in the first level in terms of formation strength!"

The great elder's words were well-founded and made Head Liao suddenly enlightened.

Leader Liao praised:

"As expected of the great elder, he is thoughtful!"

"In this way, the first-grade small formation master may not be that clever. He may be able to determine the grade. Maybe he is just lucky..."

Head Liao pondered again:

"That's true when you think about it. Although formation masters depend on talent, practice makes perfect, and diligence can make up for one's weaknesses. That little formation master, who is only in his teens, has been drawing formations since he was born. He has been drawing every day, and he can draw without stopping. How many secondary formations have been passed?”

"If you draw less formations, your understanding will naturally be shallow."

"No matter how talented you are, if you don't practice hard, it will still be a tower in the air and untenable."

These words touched the great elder's heart.

The Great Elder nodded happily, but also warned:

"Having said that, you can't be careless. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, so you can't underestimate him..."

Headmaster Liao cupped his hands and said, "The great elder is right."

Then he frowned again, "This small formation master is easy to deal with, but his senior brothers and sisters..."

Thinking of the pair of brothers and sisters with profound cultivation, unparalleled spiritual roots, and the appearance of heavenly beings, the great elder's expression was extremely solemn.

After a moment, the great elder sighed and said slowly:

"In this case, we can only ask for help..."

"Help?"

The great elder nodded and said: "There are many formation sects and families in the Dali Mountain State realm who have close friendships with our Five Elements Sect. There are many talented people among their sects who have extremely high understanding of formations. We have borrowed them." , hold up the position and kill that man’s majesty!”

"Can they beat those siblings?"

"It should be no problem to gather the formation geniuses from the entire Dali Mountain State..."

Leader Liao nodded and couldn't help but curiously said:

"Then can they beat Mr. Zhuang back then?"

The Great Elder snorted coldly, "Don't think about it. No matter how talented they are, they can't even think about beating that person..."

The great elder's eyes were full of fear and he had to obey:

"How many Mr. Zhuang are there in this world?"

Leader Liao was still a little hesitant, "Will it be seen?"

The great elder shook his head and said: "They are guests from afar and are not members of the Five Elements Sect. How can they tell who are our disciples of the Five Elements Sect?"

"Then, can we hire these geniuses?"

"Just give me a favor."

"The price is probably not small..."

"Problems that can be solved with spiritual stones are not problems."

Leader Liao felt a little achy, but he still nodded.

After the planning was completed, the great elder also breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly:

"At the discussion meeting, we will test the formations. If the disciples of that man's sect cannot compare with the disciples of my Five Elements Sect, with his arrogant temperament, he will not be shameless in comparison and will learn from our Five Elements Sect's unique formations. …”

Head Liao is still a little worried:

"Will that person agree to such an obvious plan?"

The great elder sneered, "If he wants his disciples to learn the formations of our Five Elements Sect, then he has to agree!"

"We didn't refuse, we just made a reasonable request."

"If you can't defeat the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, why should you learn the Ultimate Formation of the Five Elements Sect?"

"In other words, if you can't defeat the disciples of Five Elements Sect, even if you try to learn Jue Zhen, you will definitely not be able to learn it!"

"I say this to save each other's time, not only for the good of the Five Elements Sect, but also for his good..."

…

The elder looked very dignified.

But Master Liao sneered in his heart.

The older you get, the thicker your skin becomes.

The Five Elements Sect will gradually decline because of old worms like you who are full of calculations.

However, he had no other way to deal with this matter.

He just didn't know whether Mr. Zhuang would agree...

Master Liao was worried and found Mr. Zhuang again to explain the whole story.

Mr. Zhuang was not surprised or angry, and still looked calm and nodded:

"Okay!"

Master Liao felt relieved.

Just agree.

He also had an explanation.

But in his eyes, Mr. Zhuang became more and more mysterious.

He couldn't guess what Mr. Zhuang was thinking and what he was planning...

...

After Master Liao left, Mr. Zhuang called Mo Hua and the other two.

"In a few days, you will compete with the disciples of the Five Elements Sect in formation..."

"No, not you..." Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and smiled slightly, "Mo Hua, you can just compete."

Mr. Zhuang showed an expression of watching a good show:

"You will take the lead, and by the way, support the scene for your senior brothers and sisters..."

"Also for the master, to gain face..."
