The Quest for Immortality

"You will be establishing your foundation tomorrow, and you must still continue your cultivation and decode formations, even if it takes ten or twenty years to establish your foundation, the same tasks await: cultivation and formation decoding…"

"As cultivators, we seek the Great Dao without concern for success or failure."

"The tasks at hand remain the same; do not let fear of gain or loss make you timid."

Mo Hua’s state of mind suddenly became clear, and all his doubts dissipated.

Right, worrying is pointless…

If this bottleneck really takes one or two decades to break through, then so be it. Could it be that I would give up on decoding formations and breaking through, to remain a mere Qi Refinement cultivator for a lifetime?

Once a matter is determined, looking to the past and future is meaningless.

After all, the things that must be done are always the same.

I am a Formation Master; all I need is to focus solely on learning and decoding Formation Methods.

Mo Hua’s initially anxious heart gradually calmed down; his breath steadied, and his gaze became resolute.

Mr. Zhuang felt reassured within and nodded gently, saying with a smile,

"Good, it’s good that you understand. But there’s no need to rush; it won’t take that long to fully decode the Mystery Formation..."

"Yes, Master!"

After their conversation, Mo Hua stood up to bid farewell, ready to return and ponder over the Mystery Formation some more, but Mr. Zhuang suddenly called out to Mo Hua, pausing briefly before speaking:

"Mo Hua, show me part of the Mystery Formation you’ve worked on."

Mo Hua, puzzled but obedient, took out paper and brush, and drew a part of the Mystery Formation and its Formation Pivot.

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Good."

After Mo Hua left, Mr. Zhuang looked at the section of the Mystery Formation that Mo Hua had drawn, and his expression became increasingly grave.

Old Kui appeared, took a glance at the Mystery Formation, and furrowed his brows as well.

"What is this thing?"

"You don’t know, do you…" said Mr. Zhuang, somewhat distracted.

Old Kui’s gaze darkened, shaking his head, "I have never seen this before."

It was plainly a First-grade Formation Method and also a Mystery Formation, but in his many years of Tao Cultivation experience, there was not a trace of recollection.

"Yes…" Mr. Zhuang murmured, "I thought I would never see this kind of formation again in my lifetime…"

Old Kui’s expression turned solemn, "What exactly is this formation?"

"This formation is called..."

Mr. Zhuang fell silent for a long while, his eyes showing struggle, before finally speaking:

"Mysterious Heaven Great Formation!"

Old Kui’s eyes widened with shock, "Mysterious Heaven Great Formation?!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded with a bitter smile.

Mysterious Heaven Great Formation…

Old Kui’s expression shifted, hesitating several times as if wanting to speak, but in the end, he swallowed his words and just stared blankly, saying:

"How could it be..."

How could it be the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation...

Old Kui’s brows were tightly knitted, he didn’t delve deeper but instead asked:

"What’s the difference between this Mysterious Heaven Great Formation and a regular Mystery Formation?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "It’s different…"

"A Mystery Formation can constitute a Large Formation, but such a Large Formation is merely a collection of simple mystery arrays. It has the scale of a Large Formation but lacks the essence; strictly speaking, it isn’t considered a true Large Formation…"

Mr. Zhuang took another look at the Formation Method drawn by Mo Hua earlier and sighed:

"The Mysterious Heaven Great Formation is different…"

"It is an extremely special Large Formation…"

"So unique that it’s utterly unclear what the essence of this formation truly is."

"The existing Mysterious Heaven Great Formations are used to seal away secrets that are unknowable…"

"The Mysterious Heaven Great Formation holds mysteries as vast as the sky…"

"The principles of the formations involved are also bizarre and extraordinary…"

Mr. Zhuang stared at Old Kui, as if asking for his opinion or perhaps questioning himself:

"A Mystery Formation is just a trick for decoding, so how can it constitute a Great Formation?"

"And how can it even become a Great Formation?"

"All Great Formations coordinate myriad formation methods, emphasizing a unison of origin, whether it be to kill, trap, or defend."

"So, what does a Mystery Formation coordinate? What is its common origin, what is the source, and what does it advocate for? Is it simply the concept of a ’mystery’?"

"And who is capable, bold enough, and possesses strong enough Divine Sense Calculation to build a Mysterious Heaven Great Formation?"

"Moreover, what is the purpose of constructing a Mysterious Heaven Great Formation?"

...

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a long time, then came to a sudden realization, murmuring to himself, "I was wrong; from the very start, I was mistaken…"

"There is a major problem with the Tianyan Jue Cultivation Technique!"

"Constructing the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation within the Sea of Consciousness…"

"This technique is very likely not intended for ’humans’ to practice at all…"

"Perhaps, it was genuinely meant for some kind of ’evil monster,’ as the literal interpretation suggests…"

"Who exactly created this technique?"

"Or should I say, is this truly a technique that ’humans’ could have created?"

"Can ’humans,’ relying on a cultivation technique, construct a Mysterious Heaven Great Formation within the Sea of Consciousness of a cultivator..."

Mr. Zhuang’s brow furrowed further.

Ancient Cultivation Technique…

Mysterious Heaven Great Formation…

Tianyan…

"The Great Dao has fifty paths, Tianyan has forty-nine, and humans evade one..."

He felt as if he had glimpsed something significant amid the haziness as if he were caught in the "Mysterious Heaven Great Formation" itself.

"Enough..."

Mr. Zhuang sighed.

I no longer have much time to consider these problems.

Now, the issue is this child, Mo Hua...

"Can the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation be decoded?" Old Kui asked.

"Even though it’s the ’Mysterious Heaven,’ it’s still a Mystery Formation, and it’s only first-grade. With that child Mo Hua’s proficiency in formation methods, it can be decoded. It’s just that..."

It’s just that it really might take about a decade.

And that’s if everything goes smoothly.
