Chapter 833 -601 Bald Head Mount Diancang was vast and desolate, poor in resources for Tao cultivation, rarely frequented by people, making it a suitable hideout for Sin Cultivators. Mo Hua followed several senior brothers and sisters to Mount Diancang. Mountains towered majestically, shrouded in clouds and mist, the pale yellow miasma obscuring all directions. Murong Caiyun said, “I accepted a reward from the Sect. There’s a tip that the Bald Eagle is hiding alone in a cave thirty miles from here.” “However, this person is vigilant and skilled in Formation, and will surely set up formations along the way to guard against pursuit…” “These formations might not be very sophisticated, but they are extremely covert and hard to detect, requiring a skilled Formation Master to inspect along the way…” ... “We must be meticulous and not overlook anything…” “Otherwise, we risk startling the ‘Bald Eagle’ and letting him escape…” Murong Caiyun glanced at Mo Hua, “Junior Brother Mo, can you handle it?” Mo Hua nodded, “I can do it!” Seeing Mo Hua’s confidence, Murong Caiyun did not feel relieved but rather more worried. Ouyang Feng, fearing that Mo Hua would feel pressured, then said, “Junior Brother Mo, just do your best and don’t be nervous…” “This task isn’t just one person’s responsibility. Along the way, we will also keep an eye out and cover any gaps, as the Bald Eagle is extremely cunning and difficult to deal with, and the formations he sets are very tricky…” “Mm-hm,” Mo Hua expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Senior Brother Feng!” Thus, the group moved forward, and as they walked, Mo Hua suddenly paused, pointing at a freshly turned patch of soil at the roadside, “Is that the formation?” The others, upon hearing this, looked at each other and then nodded. Murong Caiyun let out a slight sigh of relief, “Correct.” Only then did Mo Hua realize that everyone had noticed but had kept silent to “test” him. They really didn’t trust him… Mo Hua muttered in his heart. Hua Qianqian walked up to the turned soil, took out a golden compass, placed it on the ground, and as the compass spun, a flash of light occurred, and the Formation Patterns hidden beneath the soil disappeared. Mo Hua was stunned, “What is this compass…?” Murong Caiyun was taken aback, “You don’t know?” Mo Hua honestly nodded. To know as knowing, not knowing as not knowing is knowing. With all his seniors around, he, being a junior brother, saw no need to pretend. Murong Caiyun sighed, “This is called a Compass for Breaking Arrays. Some simple formations can be countered with this kind of compass.” “Does it work on all formations?” Mo Hua asked. Murong Caiyun shook her head, “Different formations require different Types of Compass for Breaking Arrays, like those of the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, directions; they must match to undo them, and the Formation Patterns can’t be too complex.” “Oh, oh.” Mo Hua learned something new and quietly took note. “So there are things like a Compass for Breaking Arrays…” He had always relied on himself to solve formations and had never used such “lazy” methods. He wondered what the principles behind it were… Mo Hua grew curious. Using the Compass for Breaking Arrays, Hua Qianqian dissolved the hidden formation, then with a flick of her hands, dispersed spiritual power, swept away the soil, and revealed a small stone disk buried underneath, etched with Formation Patterns. The patterns looked familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, probably a variant of regular Formation Patterns. Unable to recognize them, Mo Hua humbly asked, “Senior Sister Murong, what formation is this on the stone disk…?” Murong Caiyun paused. The others also placed their hands on their foreheads, somewhat helplessly. Shangguan Xu even had a bittersweet expression. Not knowing such a simple formation, “being skilled” in formations wasn’t exactly being “skilled”… Murong Caiyun sighed and reluctantly explained, “This is called the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation, a First-grade Formation, utilizing the magnetic properties within the patterns to attract induction forces for surveillance and defense…” “Small Yuan Magnetic Formation…” Mo Hua silently memorized it. He had not expected that he was so proficient in First-grade Formations and had learned so much, yet some still “slipped through the net”… Indeed, he needed to get out more. The Cultivation World was vast and boundless, perhaps filled with formations everywhere, waiting for him to learn! “Small Yuan Magnetic Formation…” Mo Hua silently recited, then said, “Senior Sister Murong, wait a moment, I’ll learn it.” Murong Caiyun fell silent. This junior brother, encountering a formation, even had to learn it on the spot… She didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, it didn’t take Mo Hua long to memorize the Formation Patterns of the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation, and then the group set off again. As they walked, Mo Hua pondered quietly. Small Yuan Magnetic Formation… A First Grade Nine Pattern Formation, its function and the “Compass Parent-Child Compound Formation” he had used were somewhat similar, both for setting up formations to survey and monitor the terrain. But this formation was somewhat special. After pondering for a long time, Mo Hua suddenly realized that this formation was actually a variation of the Bagua Formation Method, simplifying the complex patterns into a simple “variation.” Mo Hua silently calculated in his mind and was suddenly startled. He discovered that this Small Yuan Magnetic Formation, tracing back to its origin, its fundamental patterns could actually be traced back to the “Thunder Pattern.” Thunder Pattern? That wasn’t right… Mo Hua was utterly baffled. In his memory, the “Thunder Formation” was on top of the Heavenly Dao Formation, containing the Law that eradicated with the terrifying “Immortal Pattern”, able to subdue all living beings. But what did “thunder” have to do with “Original Magnet”? Why would the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation’s pattern, changing inversely, evolve into the Thunder Pattern and be classified under the “Thunder Trigram” Formation Method? Mo Hua was filled with questions. But at that moment, still tasked with a “mission,” he had no time for further consideration. Mo Hua decided to keep these doubts in his heart and planned to ponder them carefully when he got back to see if he could comprehend anything.
