Mo Hua looked at it and spoke calmly, "Are you being honest now?"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost nodded angrily but honestly.
Only then did Mo Hua feel satisfied and then asked the important question:
"What exactly did you steal from the Heritage Taoist Field?"
The color of the Five Elents Fierce Ghost's face changed, "If I tell you, will you let go?"
Mo Hua smiled brightly, "If I say I will, would you believe ?"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost's eyelids twitched.
I believe you my ass!
"Sooner or later I will die, why should I tell you?" the Five Elents Fierce Ghost said gravely.
Without further ado, Mo Hua pointed a finger, and the Spiritual Thread spread out, once again controlling the Five Elents Fierce Ghost to kill itself.
Stabbing oneself with one's own claws really hurts.
If this continues, I will truly die!

The Five Elents Fierce Ghost, in a panic, imdiately said:
"I'll tell you!"
Mo Hua nodded, "Go on."
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost helplessly said, "From the Taoist Field, what I stole was... a Formation Pattern."
Mo Hua frowned, "A Formation Pattern?"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost nodded.
Mo Hua's gaze grew intense, "You're lying to again? How could it be just a Formation Pattern?"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost cursed internally.
This damn brat, he's so suspicious.
But at this point, it dared not tell another lie.
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost sighed helplessly and said:
"This isn't an ordinary Formation Pattern, it's called a 'Source Pattern.' It's ford by five colors representing the Five Elents, and five strokes of brushwork, all condensed into this one Pattern."
"The five colors correspond to the Five Elents of tal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each stroke contains a stream of the Five Elents."
"This 'Source Pattern' symbolizes the origin of the Five Elents Sect's Formations, condensing the blood, sweat, and tears of the ancestors of the Five Elents Sect. It is the inheritance of the complete Five Elents Formation Compendium!"
Mo Hua was startled and after a mont of thought, he asked the question he was most concerned about:
"So where is this Formation Pattern now?"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost mumbled, "I... damaged it..."
"Damaged it?"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost said, "At first, I was just in the Skill Transmission Taoist Field, pretending to be the Tao Teaching Elder, deceiving others... Later, by chance, I mistakenly entered the Heritage Taoist Field and saw that Pattern in the center of the Taoist Field..."
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost's eyes shone with yearning, "That Pattern, with the five colors swirling, was glittering and dazzling..."
"I have no knowledge of Formations, but just one look, just one glance, and I felt like I had grasped most of the Five Elents Formations in this world..."
"I knew then that this was the top inheritance of the Five Elents Sect."
"It is a secret of the Five Elents Sect that must not be divulged!"
"It is a secret inheritance that even the current Five Elents Sect doesn't know of!"
"The Pattern was too beautiful..."
"So, I sat on the cushion, just looking and looking. Although I still did not understand Formation principles and could not construct Formations, it seed that I could instinctively manifest various Five Elents Formations..."
"Including the Five Elents Spirit Formation!"
"But as I watched, greed grew within ."
"I felt that such a treasure should not be hidden away."
"If I could take it out, ponder it every day, comprehend it daily, and anwhile, consu so humans to replenish my Divine Sense, then one day when my Divine Thought becos strong, wouldn't I be able to grasp and manifest all the Five Elents Formations in this world?!"
"This Pattern is mine! I wanted to take it out of the Taoist Field!"
"But this Source Pattern was embedded within densely woven Formation Patterns, as if it had originated from them, echoing each other, connected together, and could not be taken out alone..."
"I have no knowledge of Formations, do not understand Calculation, and did not know what to do. In the end, I simply forced my way through the Formation, destroying all the surrounding Patterns..."
"But when I destroyed the Patterns, the 'Source Pattern' seed to dim as well, and the power of the Five Elents dispersed gradually until it was extinguished..."
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost was filled with regret and heartache.
"With the Source Pattern extinguished, I only grasped a small portion of the Five Elents Formations. Fearing discovery by the Five Elents Sect, I could only sneak away from the Taoist Field and then figure out how to escape alive and leave the Shrine..."
"If I had the 'Source Pattern' in hand, I..."
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost stole a glance at Mo Hua.
Though it didn't speak plainly, the look in its eyes was clear.
The implication was that if it had the Source Pattern in its possession, Mo Hua wouldn't stand a chance against it.
Mo Hua furrowed his brow, sowhat puzzled.
He felt that there were many questionable points in what the Five Elents Fierce Ghost had said, but its gaze and expression seed to indicate that it wasn't lying.
This was quite peculiar...
Mo Hua reflected again on the situation in the Taoist Field, and the abrupt, incomplete Formation Patterns in the center, which seed to indeed have been forcefully destroyed, leading to their absence...
If what the Five Elents Fierce Ghost had said was true, then the inheritance of the Five Elents Sect had truly been extinguished...
Source Pattern...
Mo Hua stared at the Five Elents Fierce Ghost a few more tis, pondered for a mont, and then suddenly started, a shock going through his heart as he said in a deep voice:
"You're deceiving !"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost hurriedly said:
"I'm not deceiving you."
Mo Hua shook his head, "No, not that you're deceiving , you've been deceived as well..."
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost was startled, "Deceived by whom?"
Mo Hua's expression turned solemn, "Deceived by the Formation Patterns!"
"No, how can that be possible?" The Five Elents Fierce Ghost shook its head, "What are you talking about exactly?"
Mo Hua's voice grew colder, "How did you co to know about 'Source Pattern'?"
"Source Pattern..."
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost paused, mulling it over carefully, and then its eyes showed a look of horror.
Right, how did I know about it?
Who told ?
Where did I hear it from?
Mo Hua's gaze sharpened, and he continued:
"I've never heard the term 'Source Pattern', and my master has never ntioned it...""It must be an extrely obscure and ancient inheritance.""Since it is a lost ancient inheritance of the Five Elents Sect, then it's almost impossible for anyone in the current Five Elents Sect, including that of a few hundred years ago, to know of it...""If no one knows, no one would talk about it...""You are a little ghost who knows nothing of Formations; with no one telling you, how could you possibly know?""No one told you, unless..."Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly as he slowly said, "The 'Source Pattern' told you!"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost's pupils constricted.
"Or rather..."
Mo Hua's tone beca severe:
"You've been parasitized by that 'Source Pattern'!"
"The you now is actually a puppet of that 'Source Pattern'!"
The Five Elents Fierce Ghost was stunned and confused, then broke into a hollow laugh, murmuring:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How could I be parasitized without knowing it myself..."
"How could this..."
It didn't finish speaking when suddenly it beca still, then its body began to shake uncontrollably, and it started to twist irregularly.
A five-colored pattern suddenly lit up on its forehead at the location of the Heavenly Gate.
This pattern was ancient and profound.
It contained five strokes, corresponding to the Five Elents, divided into five colors; splurgingly vivid, strikingly bright, with shapes both ancient and strange, resembling the eyes of five different mythical beasts.
Within those eyes lay the cruelty and indifference of the Heavenly Dao.
Mo Hua's gaze shook.
This was the "Five Elents Source Pattern" that the Five Elents Sect had struggled to calculate thousands of years ago!
