Chapter 803: Chapter 592 Yi Wood Gen Mountain_2
âBut just a mid-lower grade spiritual root, why would you make connections with him?â
âWhat do you know?â
âIf he really is just mid-lower grade, could he have entered the Taixu Gate?â
âTo enter the Taixu Gate isnât that simple.â
âExactly.â
âBesides, if he can enter the Eight Great Gates with a mid-lower grade spiritual root, isnât it that his Taoist foundation must be exceptionally supported, with a very strong backing!â
...
âYes⊠mid-lower grade indeedâŠâ
âSuch a shallow Taoist foundationâŠâ
âJust think, being able to be admitted with thatâŠâ
âThen his background, how deep must it be! His backing, how strong must it be!!â
Upon this realization, all disciples started respecting Mo Hua solemnly.
âProbably the illegitimate child of some great power, maybe even related to the ancestors of Taixu GateâŠâ
âIf that were the case, his spiritual root wouldnât be so poorâŠâ
âYou know nothing, the inheritance of spiritual roots isnât one hundred percent, there are always variationsâŠâ
âA father and mother with inferior spiritual roots can have a child with a top-grade spiritual root, and a top-grade spiritual root can once in a while produce a mid-lower grade tooâŠâ
âItâs just a very small probability thoughâŠâ
âNow that you mention it, mid-lower grade⊠it could really be possibleâŠâ
âThatâs logicalâŠâ
With a complex expression, Mo Hua, speechless, emphasized:
âI really am just a Loose CultivatorâŠâ
Hearing this, the disciples paused, then nodded in agreement, âMm-hmm.â
But their expressions all suggested they saw through him, an unsaid understanding, âWe know whatâs going on.â
âDonât worry, we will keep your secretâŠâ
âWe promise not to tell anyoneâŠâ
Mo Hua sighed, feeling helpless.
Another disciple expressed concern:
âMo Hua, though your background⊠coughâŠâ
The disciple hinted meaningfully, âIs just a Loose CultivatorâŠâ
ââŠbut you still shouldnât offend Elder Master Xun, his credentials are very old, even the Sect Leader might not get face from himâŠâ
âYouâve just joined the Sect, and your days here are long; if you displease Elder Master Xun and are punished to keep Drawing Formations, your future days will be toughâŠâ
Grateful, Mo Hua said, âThank you.â
But in his heart, he wondered, âI wonder if Elder Master Xun will teach me more difficult formationsâŠâ
He currently couldnât find any âdifficultâ formations to study.
His divine sense had also been stagnant at fourteen patterns, with no advancement for a long timeâŠ
Elder Master XunâŠ
With a gleam in his eyes, Mo Hua thought:
âMaybe, tomorrow in class, I should just fall asleep, sleep through it?â
âSee if Elder Master Xun will punish me by having me draw some even more âdifficultâ formations?â
âŠ
The next day, Mo Hua found he didnât need to sleep anymore.
Because Elder Master Xun indeed treated him speciallyâŠ
During the class, Elder Master Xun distributed a set of Formation Notes to everyone, which covered the Key Points of the First Grade Nine-pattern Synthesis Gold Formation, including a Formation Diagram.
Only Mo Hua did not have one in front of him.
Elder Master Xun handed another set of notes to Mo Hua, saying firmly:
âTo learn formations, you must be solid, the foundation is the most important.â
âThe better the talent, the more important the foundation.â
âStudy this oneâŠâ
The other disciples looked at Mo Hua with sympathy.
Mo Hua, expression serious, couldnât help but feel secretly thrilled.
âThere is a formation to study!â
He quickly opened the notes, finding inside a drawing of a Gold and Fire Seriesâ First Grade Five Elements Compound Formation.
Mo Hua had not seen this Compound Formation before, but its structure was not complicated, being a Five Elements Formation that could be easily understood at a glance.
It indeed was harder.
But only a bit harderâŠ
The level of difficulty was something like getting stuck between teeth.
A bit disappointed, Mo Hua still seriously read through the notes once, sorting and recording some knowledge points he had not learned before, and then started drawing the formation.
Elder Master Xun lectured above, and he drew below.
By the time Elder Master Xun had finished lecturing and the other disciples started brainstorming and drawing the formations, Mo Hua had already finished drawing, sitting back relaxed, watching the others furrow their brows in deep thoughtâŠ
Elder Master Xunâs eyelids twitched.
But he stayed solemn and said nothing.
In the next class, while the other disciples still studied the First Grade Five Elements Series Formation, Mo Hua is given a slightly harder one, this time the Three-series Five Elements Compound Formation.
But itâs still only First Grade.
Mo Hua, as usua, finished drawing very quicklyâŠ
And thereafter, each time it got slightly harder, but each increase wasnât muchâŠ
âŠ
After four or five incremental difficultiesâŠ
Finally, Mo Hua encountered unfamiliar formation patterns.
This was linked to the Five Elements but varied slightly from the Five Elements Formation System:
The Eight Trigrams Formation!
The Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Eight Trigrams are Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Dui representing the heavens, earth, water, fire, mountains, thunder, marsh, and wind respectively.
The Eight Trigrams Formation overlaps partially with the Five Elements but involves broader and more complex legal principles of the Great Dao than the Five Elements.
Moreover, the Eight Trigrams Formation includes the principles of Yin and Yang, and the Six Yao, though not directly harnessing the power of Yin and Yang, or the Six Yao, but it uses these as a framework, deriving different formation logics on the base of the Five Elements.
Compared to each other, the Five_ELEMENTâŠ
