The Tao Teaching Elder of the Five Elents Sect?!
Mo Hua's heart trembled.
The Tao Teaching Elder was responsible for imparting knowledge. Within the Sect, their status was unique. Although they might not hold the greatest power, they inevitably possessed the most detached status and were the most familiar and profoundly understanding individuals of the Sect's legacy.
So this wooden-carved elder was the Tao Teaching Elder of the Five Elents Sect…
Mo Hua's thoughts raced.
The Tao Teaching Elder looked at Mo Hua, and his gaze suddenly beca intense, "You are not a disciple of my Five Elents Sect!"
Mo Hua was sowhat curious, "How did you tell?"
The Tao Teaching Elder spoke with a profound look, "Divine Sense is powerful, Divine Thought manifests…"
"My Five Elents Sect is no longer what it used to be. Our legacy has declined, and we cannot teach a disciple like you anymore…"
Mo Hua nodded, thinking the reason was quite sensible, and then he inquired:
"You are the Tao Teaching Elder. Is the 'Tao' you transmit the Five Elents Spirit Formation?"
The Tao Teaching Elder did not hide it, "Indeed…"
He looked off into the distance towards the Array Plate in the center of the Taoist Field, "Though my body is dead, my spirit survives, stationed at the Shrine. Should there be a disciple who receives the consent of the Five Elents Sect, sits on the ditation cushion, and ponders the Shrine, I will manifest in the center of the Taoist Field and reveal the Five Elents Spirit Formation.
I will impart the Formation Patterns and the key points of the Formation…"
Mo Hua nodded upon hearing this and asked, "Then have you seen before?"
The Tao Teaching Elder slowly nodded, "I have, five days ago when you first ca, I saw you."
Mo Hua continued to inquire, "Why didn't you teach when I pondered the Shrine that day?"
Upon hearing this, the Tao Teaching Elder's expression turned cold, and he said irritably:
"Don't you know why?"
Mo Hua was taken aback.
The Tao Teaching Elder's eyelids twitched, "Your Divine Sense was too strong, you saw through the Array Plate, how could I teach you then?"

"Oh."
Mo Hua scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
The Tao Teaching Elder then grew sowhat sentintal, "Over these many years I have been guarding the Taoist Field, you are the first cultivator to see through the Array Plate of the Taoist Field, making want to teach, yet unable to teach…"
"I'm not a disciple of the Five Elents Sect. Would you still like to teach ?" Mo Hua asked.
The Tao Teaching Elder said with a sigh:
"Those who co before this Shrine to ponder the Taoist Field are either disciples of the Five Elents Sect, have a deep connection with the Five Elents Sect, or perhaps, there is a fateful opportunity bestowed by the heavens."
"In any case, it's all due to a fortuitous eting."
"I am the Tao Teaching Elder, so naturally I teach without discrimination."
"As long as the 'Tao' of my Five Elents Sect can be passed down, that is enough…"
Mo Hua felt a surge of solemn respect and asked directly:
"Then can you teach the Five Elents Spirit Formation?"
The Tao Teaching Elder pondered for a mont, then conceded, "Well…"
"Over these hundreds of years, not to ntion entering the Shrine, even the number of disciples who qualify to enter the Formation Pavilion to ponder and comprehend before the Shrine has dwindled…"
"There's no Tao to pass on…"
"If this continues, I, the Tao Teaching Elder, will truly beco just a wooden or clay statue, withering here, never to see the light of day."
The Tao Teaching Elder then looked at Mo Hua again and gave a nod of approval:
"You have good talent, strong Divine Sense, and a clear Taoist Heart. The inheritance of the Five Elents Sect would not be disgraced in your hands."
"However, there is one thing…"
The Tao Teaching Elder said seriously, "If you learn the Five Elents Spirit Formation and if the opportunity arises, you must work to make the Formation flourish."
"If the Five Elents Sect ever faces difficulties, please offer your help to repay this karmic debt."
Mo Hua's expression was solemn as he earnestly said, "Definitely!"
"Good!" The Tao Teaching Elder felt reassured, then asked, "Have you learned the Formation Patterns of the Five Elents Spirit Formation?"
"I have," Mo Hua nodded.
The Tao Teaching Elder was surprised, and with a wave of his sleeve, writing brushes and ink materialized on the Taoist Field.
"Draw them for to see."
"Sure."
Mo Hua dipped the brush in ink and drew separate depictions for gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—each a representation of the Five Elents Spirit Formation.
The Tao Teaching Elder's pupils contracted slightly, but he still suppressed the shock in his heart, and praised with a nod:
"Very good, not bad at all. To have learned the Formation Patterns of the Five Elents Ultimate Formation so well and accurately in such a short period is truly remarkable…"
"However…"
The Tao Teaching Elder then said seriously, "…but you should also know, the Ultimate Formation is not about the category or form…"
"Learning the Formation Patterns does not an you've mastered the Ultimate Formation."
"To truly understand the Five Elents Spirit Formation, just knowing how to draw the Formation Patterns is far from enough…"
Mo Hua humbly said, "Junior understands, please enlighten , Senior."
The Tao Teaching Elder nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard, "You are teachable, so I will instruct you on how to truly grasp the Five Elents Spirit Formation. Listen well…"
Mo Hua nodded and listened intently.
The Tao Teaching Elder spoke earnestly, slowly saying:
"The Five Elents Spirit Formation is a top-notch Formation of the Five Elents class!"
"The difficulty, depth, and breadth of Formation principles it involves can even compare with that of a Large Formation!"
"The Five Elents Formation has its magnificence, while the Five Elents Spirit Formation has its profundity."
"Back in the day, our Five Elents Sect rose to prominence precisely because of this Five Elents Spirit Formation. It strengthened the Five Elents to aid in slaughter, increased the efficiency of Spiritual Artifacts, and amplified the power of Spells, thus achieving the status of a top-tier Formation Sect…"
"The amplification of Spiritual Power in the Five Elents Spirit Formation hinges on understanding the nature of the Five Elents Spiritual Power."
"The essence of this nature lies in the word 'strength'."
"The sa Five Elents Spiritual Power, when enhanced through the Formation, can be amplified by ten to twenty percent, and so the might of your Spiritual Artifact, Tao Cultivation Martial Arts, or Spells will be ten to twenty percent greater…"
Mo Hua frowned, "But how exactly should I comprehend this?"
The Tao Teaching Elder said, "It's simple to say, but hard to do. I can only tell you the principle of the Formation; ultimately, you need to comprehend it yourself."
