Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 515 Cattle and Horses_2

Young Master Yun's face suddenly flushed a shade of red, his expression somewhat abashed.

Mo Hua looked at him in surprise as well.

He had assumed that someone as young as Young Master Yun who had already become a Second Rank Formation Master would surely be haughty and arrogant. However, he did not expect him to be so shy, with even thinner skin than himself.

He guessed that Young Master Yun had probably always stayed within his clan and hardly ever went outside, lacking worldly experience.

It seemed as though Young Master Yun remembered something and hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

But it was almost as if his thoughts were written all over his face.

Seeing it clearly, Mo Hua asked:

"What else do you want to ask?"

Young Master Yun hesitated for a moment, then said with an apologetic tone:

"Perhaps, this might be a bit presumptuous..."

"Hmm," Mo Hua said, "Ask away."

Young Master Yun made up his mind and slowly asked:

"The Formation on the Corpse King, was it drawn by you? Is it... an Ultimate Formation?"

Mo Hua nodded his head, admitting frankly:

"Yes!"

Even though Young Master Yun had already guessed as much, his expression still changed dramatically at the confirmation.

Other cultivators, even some other Formation Masters, probably did not understand what the Ultimate Formation truly meant.

Qi Refinement at the eighth level.

Mastery over a First-grade Formation with twelve patterns.

This kind of thing defied the common knowledge he had as a Formation Master.

Young Master Yun felt a sense of defeat.

In the Yun Family, and even throughout the entire state boundary they resided in, he was recognized as a Formation Genius.

But only now did he understand.

There are differences between geniuses, and those differences can be as vast as the heavens and the earth.

Some people are so extraordinarily gifted they seem like evil monsters.

He looked again at Mo Hua, whose face still held traces of youthful innocence, and heaved a sigh internally.

This was a little evil monster indeed.

Mo Hua, seeing that Young Master Yun's expression was somewhat defeated, did not know what he was thinking.

Suddenly Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he spoke softly:

"Young Master Yun, do you know what this Formation is called?"

Young Master Yun shook his head honestly, asking with curiosity:

"What Formation?"

"The Spiritual Pivot Formation," Mo Hua replied.

"The Spiritual Pivot Formation..."

Repeating the name a few times, Young Master Yun nodded and praised, "Indeed an Ultimate Formation, just the name itself is extraordinary..."

"So..." Mo Hua blinked, tempting him, "do you want to learn it?"

Young Master Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his mouth fell open.

He thought Mo Hua was teasing him, but upon looking up and seeing the clear and sincere look in Mo Hua's eyes without any hint of mockery, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly nodded:

"I do..."

No Formation Master could resist the temptation of a Formation.

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Then I'll teach you."

Young Master Yun was even more surprised, "You're willing to teach me?"

"Yes," Mo Hua nodded, "Formations need to be passed down to endure and flourish. If one hoards their knowledge, no matter how precious the Formation is, it will eventually be lost."

"Once lost, no matter how precious the Formation is, it is useless."

"Since you wish to learn, I will teach you, but you must promise me not to use it for evil deeds."

Young Master Yun couldn't help but nod repeatedly, "Okay, I promise you!"

"There's one more thing..." Mo Hua continued, "After you've learnt it, you'll have to help me with something."

"Help you?" Young Master Yun was taken aback.

"Yes!"

Mo Hua's eyes gleamed, "I need to construct some things that will be controlled by the Spiritual Pivot Formation. I can't manage it alone and need your assistance."

This had been his plan all along.

There are limits to manpower.

Although he was proficient in Formation Study, there were many things that he could not accomplish alone, and it would take up a lot of time.

Having help would make a difference.

Moreover, the project would involve the use of the Spiritual Pivot Formation.

The Ultimate Formation with twelve Pattern Patterns was complex, and the demands on Divine Sense were high, almost no one in South Yue City could learn it.

But Young Master Yun should be able to.

As a Second Rank Formation Master and a Formation Genius, his Divine Sense and comprehension ought to be sufficient.

Mo Hua had been coveting his abilities for a long time.

Now that he had "offered himself," it was the perfect opportunity for Mo Hua to take advantage and ask for his help.

"Well, I could..." Young Master Yun thought for a moment and asked curiously, "But what exactly do you need help with?"

"Help me with drawing Formations."

"The Formations in the mine?"

"Among others, you'll find out in due time..."

Mo Hua left him hanging with that cryptic hint.

Thus, it only seemed natural that Young Master Yun would become Mo Hua's "menial worker."

The mine required the layout of some preliminary Formations to construct the Formation framework and to pre-fill some foundational Formations.

Afterward, zombies would begin mining.

Once mining was complete and the mine shaft was excavated, the subsequent Formations would be filled in.

These Formations were quite complex.

They included a defensive formation, Solid Earth Formation, Illumination Formation, Ventilation Formation, Filth Removal Formation, and some that were to be used for dealing with Monster Beasts on the spot, like the Gold Blade Formation and Earth Prison Formation, among others.

Mo Hua taught him the Spiritual Pivot Formation.

While Young Master Yun was learning, he would occasionally help Mo Hua draw Formations when he had free time.

Being a Second Rank Formation Master, Young Master Yun was very quick at drawing First-grade Formations.

But what he found unbelievable was that Mo Hua was even faster!

While drawing Formations, he had to refer to the Formation Diagram to confirm the Formation Patterns.

Yet Mo Hua did not even need to look; he simply relied on memory, his fair wrist twisting and turning, his brush strokes vigorous and fluid. One Formation Pattern after another appeared under his pen.

Though it seemed casual, the Formations he drew were neat, precise, and impeccably accurate, even carrying a special charm.

How many times had he drawn these to reach such proficiency...

Young Master Yun was secretly amazed, and at the same time, he felt somewhat relieved.

Even though talent was important, this kind of painstaking effort was something not every Formation Master could achieve.

Days passed by.

Young Master Yun was not quick at learning the Spiritual Pivot Formation.

The main issue was the limitation of his Divine Sense; he could not practice it many times a day, so inevitably the Formation Patterns were unfamiliar to him, and his comprehension was much slower.

What took him a week to cover, Mo Hua could finish in just one or two days.

That his progress was slower was only to be expected.
