Chapter 812: Chapter 595 14 Patterns_2
“If this child has joined the Tai Xu Gate, and in the future does good deeds and benefits the cultivators of the Nine State, that will be a blessing for the whole world. However, if soday his nature becos skewed, and he uses the power of the Formation to harm the Nine State, then that will be the fault of the Tai Xu Gate…”
“Therefore, one must teach well, not only the Formation, but also the nature of the heart…”
“If his nature is inherently evil, then one should instruct tirelessly, guiding him toward goodness;”
“If his nature is inherently good, then one should follow his true heart, and let his goodness flourish.”
“With such talent, if he is taught well, the Tai Xu Gate can truly consider itself… to have found a treasure…”
“This generation’s Sect Leader has indeed done a good deed…”
...
…
In a short span of ti, Elder Master Xun’s expression changed many tis, nodding and shaking his head in turn, his thoughts spinning endlessly, his mood fluctuating.
Mo Hua, having been stared at by Elder Master Xun for so long, felt sowhat puzzled and inexplicably a bit guilty, and then whispered quietly,
“Elder Master Xun…”
Elder Master Xun was startled, then ca back to his senses and rembered Mo Hua’s recent request to “learn the Fourteen-pattern Formation thod,” his expression turned serious and he spoke with a trace of solemnity,
“Yes.”
After making the promise, Elder Master Xun paused to think and then said, “However, as for what Formation to teach, I need to consider that…”
Mo Hua’s heart leaped with joy, and he laughed,
“Thank you, Elder!”
Elder Master Xun nodded, his gaze affable, then sent Mo Hua back.
He himself walked along the Jade Stone Mountain Path toward the rear mountain, mulling over his thoughts as he walked. When disciples greeted him along the way, he didn’t notice them.
Finally arriving at the rear mountain, near the Sect Leader’s residence, he encountered the Tai Xu Sect Master dressed in brocaded robes.
The Tai Xu Sect Master first greeted him with a respectful bow,
“Elder Master, I greet you.”
But Elder Master Xun didn’t hear, until he had walked a few steps past, then suddenly rembered sothing, turned back to look at the Tai Xu Sect Master, and nodded,
“You have done well.”
Having said that, Elder Master Xun left.
The Tai Xu Sect Master, for once, received praise from Elder Master Xun, and felt surprised and honored, yet also sowhat bewildered.
“Done well…”
“What have I done?”
…
Elder Master Xun, back in the Elder’s Residence, was still frowning in thought.
One must teach well.
If this child can study the Five Elents Formation so deeply, then he also shouldn’t neglect the Eight Trigrams Array…
Other array series, being less popular and having narrower uses, can wait for now.
To learn well the Five Elents and Eight Trigrams, to have solid foundations, sturdy as Mount Tai, then to explore other categories of Formation thod later wouldn’t be too late.
But as Elder Master Xun pondered, he suddenly realized a more pressing issue:
“The Qian Xue State Boundary is not all peace and quiet…”
Elder Master Xun’s gaze grew grave.
In recent years, the Noble Clans have flourished, Sects have beco dependent, and conflicts for fa and benefit among the disciples of various schools have worsened.
The long-silent Demon Sect has been stirring beneath the surface, plotting sothing unknown.
The situation is complex, danger lurks in the shadows, and people’s hearts are tricky.
The Qian Xue State Boundary, a place for seeking knowledge, is not as tranquil as it appears on the surface.
Mo Hua, this child, is a Loose Cultivator, without background or power…
So way must be found to protect him.
To allow him to steadfastly pursue the path of inquiry, to concentrate on his cultivation, to peacefully study Formation thod, without being led astray or making a wrong turn…
And not to be bullied by anyone!
Elder Master Xun looked serious.
Children as innocent and kind as Mo Hua are indeed easy to bully…
“But what is the best way to do that…”
Elder Master Xun fell into deep thought.
Unable to co up with a secure solution for the mont, he sighed,
“Let’s talk about this matter later. First, let’s teach him the Formation thod…”
…
The next day, Elder Master Xun handed Mo Hua a Formation Diagram:
“Trapped Mountain Formation”
A Bagua Series Formation thod, Second-grade Fourteen-pattern, it is an array that belongs to the ‘Gen’ Hexagram.
After Elder Master Xun explained the difficult points of the Formation, he let Mo Hua study it on his own and said he could co with questions.
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, his heart full of excitent.
Fourteen Patterns!
At last, he had a Fourteen-pattern Formation to study!
Learning a Fourteen-pattern Formation, practicing it day and night, would allow him to further hone his Divine Sense.
Since there was no challenging Formation to learn, his Divine Sense had remained at fourteen patterns since Foundation Establishnt, without progress for a long ti.
Though Calculation and Tricky Calculation consu a great deal of Divine Sense, making it more tenacious and sharper, they seem to have little effect on the growth of Divine Sense.
To increase Divine Sense, one still relies on Formation thod.
The Trapped Mountain Formation is from the Gen-series of Formation thod.
Gen-series Formation thod, originating from the Eight Trigrams but also fitting the Five Elents, includes the changes within the Five Elents of tal and earth.
Moreover, because it belongs to the Eight Trigrams, the positions of the Formation Pivots will also be precise.
The Formation Pivots of the Eight Trigrams Formation differ quite significantly from those of the Five Elents Formation thod.
The layout of the Formation Patterns must follow the Eight Trigrams’ directions, and the flow of Spiritual Power must match the Eight Trigrams’ structure.
These things can be quite unfamiliar at first.
But with prolonged study and repeated practice, one can gradually understand and integrate this knowledge…
And there are many varieties of Eight Trigrams Formation thod.
The more Mo Hua delved into them, the more he looked forward to it.
Among the Eight Trigrams, Kan is water, and Li is fire.
These two types of Formation thod, similar to the water and fire elents in the Five Elents, are not that different.
Gen is mountain, and Dui is marsh.
Gen Mountain incorporates the evolution of the tal and earth elents of the Five Elents.
Dui Marsh includes the evolution of the water and earth elents of the Five Elents.
These two types of Eight Trigrams Formation thod compared to the Five Elents Formation thod, will have more differences.
Besides, there are also Xun and Zhen.
Xun is wind, and Zhen is thunder.
Mo Hua had not yet studied Wind-based spiritual power Formation thod and didn’t know which types of Five Elents changes the Xun Hexagram Formation thod encompasses.
But thunder!
Mo Hua’s heart surged with excitent.
