Chapter 984 - 984 646 Evil Formation Master (Thanks to Boss

Chapter 984: Chapter 646: Evil Formation Master (Thanks to Boss Yumu for the alliance~) Chapter 984: Chapter 646: Evil Formation Master (Thanks to Boss Yumu for the alliance~) Seeing Mo Hua’s sudden realization, Gu Changhuai was slightly taken aback, “What have you figured out now?”

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said succinctly,

“If I’m not mistaken, there should be a Compound Yuan Magnetic Formation inside this Demon Palace, which coordinates all the Yuan Magnetic Formations throughout the Demon’s Cave, while monitoring the fluctuations of spiritual power inside the palace, as well as any other movements…”

Gu Changhuai and his companions looked solemn.

“That means…” Mo Hua continued, “Not only are we being guarded against by these patrolling Demon Cultivator Demon Hounds, but we’re also under surveillance by the hidden Yuan Magnetic Formation and the invisible ‘magnetic currents’…”

“Once careless, we might trigger the Formation and be discovered by the Demon Cultivators.”

“And we might not even know how we’ve been discovered…”

Gu Changhuai frowned, “Is there any way to break this Compound Formation?”

Mo Hua shook his head, “The Compound Yuan Magnetic Formation should be a Formation of at least Seventeen Patterns. It’s a bit beyond me, I can’t solve it yet…”

Gu Changhuai felt a bit regretful.

He had really thought Mo Hua knew every Formation.

He didn’t expect there to be something he didn’t know…

But then he thought about it again and felt something was off.

Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, a Formation with more than Seventeen Patterns…

It seemed a bit… “beyond”?

Gu Changhuai couldn’t help but criticize internally.

Was it really so “beyond”?

Did this kid have some misunderstanding about the term “beyond”?

However, he had been shocked enough along the way and was somewhat used to it.

Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation, Formation surveillance…

Gu Changhuai looked up again at the heavily guarded Demon Palace and said in a deep voice,

“If that’s really the case, then we must retreat and replan…”

Mo Hua frowned.

To retreat and replan…

That would inevitably take more time.

The plan to take down the Fire Buddha within seven days would be spoiled.

If it took longer than seven days, he would have to attend classes at the Sect, and getting the Meteor Fire Skill would be impossible…

“There’s not no way…” Mo Hua thought for a while and slowly said, “We could try to find the central hub of the Compound Yuan Magnetic Formation…”

“The hub of the Compound Formation?” Gu Changhuai asked.

“Right,” Mo Hua nodded, “A Compound Formation includes multiple Single Formations and needs a central Formation Pivot to control everything. The larger the Formation, the more obvious the central hub, with more functionalities concentrated in it…”

“Destroy the pivot, and the Compound Yuan Magnetic Formation will fail, making our actions much easier. We won’t have to look around and be hindered by caution…”

“If we could control the pivot…”

Mo Hua’s eyes shone brightly, “We could even turn the tables, making the surveillance Formation in the Demon Palace work for us…”

Gu Changhuai was startled on hearing this.

Gu An and Gu Quan also found it hard to believe.

Formation Masters… could they really do this?

After a brief reflection, Gu Changhuai nodded in agreement,

“Alright, let’s do as you say!”

“Right.”

Without delay, Mo Hua began to determine the position of the Compound Yuan Magnetic Formation’s pivot.

The Demon Palace was strictly guarded, with complex and interwoven paths.

On the surface, there was no systematic Yuan Magnetic Formation.

But Formation media are merely intermediaries, and patterns are just the skeleton.

The essence of a Formation is still spiritual power.

Though it wasn’t visible on the surface, the subtle trails of Formation spiritual power were still clearly discernible through Divine Sense.

Mo Hua extended his Divine Sense, probing the Yuan Magnetic Formations, sensing the connections between them to infer the entire system of the Yuan Magnetic Formation.

If the trail went cold, he would employ calculations, detecting the faint magnetic currents in the air.

Following the “Secondary Thunder Patterns” left by the magnetic currents, he traced the roots and dug out all the Yuan Magnetic Formations in the outer sanctuary, one by one, as if pulling radishes from the ground.

These Yuan Magnetic Formations were categorized and varied.

Some Yuan Magnetic Formations Mo Hua could identify.

Like the commonly used Small Yuan Magnetic Formation or the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation, etc…

But some patterns were obtuse and beyond Mo Hua’s Divine Sense Realm; he could locate them but couldn’t see the details or distinguish what kind of Formation they were.

However, this wasn’t a big issue.

These Yuan Magnetic Formations were merely used for “positioning,” to observe the direction of the pivot through the Formation layout.

After locating all Yuan Magnetic Formations within the outer sanctuary,

Mo Hua then reversed their layout to locate the confluence of the Original Magnet.

Where the Original Magnet converged was also the location of the main control pivot of the Formation.

The process, however, was both mentally taxing and time-consuming…

Gu Changhuai watched Mo Hua silently, feeling somewhat perplexed.

In his eyes, Mo Hua just ran back and forth and occasionally stopped to look up at the sky.

Or he would sniff around like a “little spirit hound” and then seriously find one Formation after another, determining the pivot’s location…

But no matter how Gu Changhuai looked, everything around them seemed like ordinary construction with no special traces.

If he didn’t know for certain that Mo Hua’s level in Formations was far from common,

He would almost suspect Mo Hua was pretending and performing in a play, deceitfully leading him on…

Gu Changhuai was thoroughly confused.

After a moment, Mo Hua pointed to a small path in the outer sanctuary and decisively said,

“The Original Magnet flows that way.”

Gu Changhuai finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “How do you see that…”

He stopped halfway through the question.

He knew without thinking that Mo Hua would surely say, “I can see it at a glance…”

Gu Changhuai changed his question, “Why can’t I see it?”

After all, he was a Golden Core Cultivator; his Divine Sense should be stronger than his.

Mo Hua replied as if it were obvious,

“You’re not a Formation Master, of course, you can’t see it.”
