The Quest for Immortality-Chapter 1231: Annihilation (2)

The Formation is correct.

He checked the shape of the Armor again.

Master Gu is a Third Grade Artifact Refiner, with rich experience and skilled techniques, and this external armor was also flawlessly made.

The Formation had no issues, and neither did the armor.

But this Five Elements Fire Source Armor did not activate.

His Spiritual Power was not augmented, and the power of the Fireball Technique was also not enhanced.

Mo Hua was puzzled in his heart.

Where exactly did the problem lie?

He recited the entire structure of the Spiritual Artifact armor in his mind and then sorted out the path of Spiritual Power circulation within the entire Formation in his mind; he did not find a single error.

Mo Hua racked his brain in meditation but couldn’t think of anything; he simply lay on the ground, with his legs crossed, leisurely pondering.

This Five Elements Source Armor was refined according to the ordinary structure of a Spiritual Artifact.

But ordinary Spiritual Artifacts correspond to ordinary Formations.

The Ultimate Formation is definitely different.

Or at least, the Five Elements Ultimate Formation is different.

"How did I draw the Five Elements Source Formation before?"

"Why did it work when drawn on the ground, but not when drawn on the Armor?"

Mo Hua remembered a little about the process of Drawing Ground into Formation and generating the Five Elements Source Formation.

After comparing the two, he had some guesses in his heart.

Drawing Ground into Formation and the Five Elements Source Armor, apart from the "Formation media" acting as a carrier being different, the only difference lay in the circulation of the Formation’s power.

Drawing Ground into Formation, the Five Element Ultimate Formation is driven by Divine Thought, with Divine Thought and Spiritual Power blending and circulating.

Within the Five Elements Source Armor, the Five Elements Ultimate Formation is purely driven by Spiritual Power, with only the circulation of Spiritual Power and lacking the integration of Divine Thought.

Mo Hua took note of this. freeweɓnøvel.com

The essence of the Five Elements Source Formation lies in "Divine Thought conversion" through the Formation to augment the Five Elements Spiritual Power.

The part of Spiritual Power that is augmented doesn’t appear from nowhere, but is converted from "Telekinesis".

Upon this realization, Mo Hua suddenly felt a shiver in his heart.

Power conversion to augment Spiritual Power...

The logical reasoning behind the Five Elements Source Formation bears some similarity to that of the Divine Formation.

Both contain the "Divine Thought conversion" law, but the final conversion goals differ.

The Five Elements Source Formation converts into augmented Spiritual Power.

Whereas the Divine Tao Array converts into an "augmented" Divine Thought.

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, as if suddenly enlightened, feeling that he might have discovered something very important.

But when he tried to think through it, he suddenly couldn’t articulate exactly what he understood.

Perhaps it’s because his current level of Cultivation is still low, his experience still insufficient, so there was only a bit of inspiration, without a profound understanding...

Mo Hua slowly nodded his head.

Since he couldn’t figure it out for the time being, he didn’t dwell on it, and instead focused his attention back on the Five Elements Source Armor.

Understanding the principle is one thing, but solving it in practice is quite troublesome.

This involves the fundamental rules of power circulation within the Spiritual Artifact Formation and the Formation media.

After activation of a Formation, it is controlled by Divine Sense.

After a Spiritual Artifact is activated, it operates on its own.

Simple Formations, like those Mo Hua drew before, those Earth Fire Formations without Nine Patterns or ranking, are simple to activate.

Generally speaking, it’s fine to use Spiritual Power to activate them.

Crush Broken Spirit Stones, and let the Spiritual Power flow into the Formation Patterns, and the Formation will naturally circulate.

But this is when the Pattern count is low, and the structure is simple.

The further one goes in a Formation, the more numerous the Patterns, the more complex the structure, and the more complete the functionalities.

Like a Compound Formation, Large Formation, or a Single Formation of Second Grade or above.

These Formations will embed Formation Eyes in advance, powered by Spirit Stones to provide Spiritual Power.

And they contain complex Formation Pivot structures, to be opened and controlled by Divine Sense, capable of controlling the opening and shutting of Spiritual Power, its direction, strength, inhibition, and so on.

To control a Formation by Divine Thought requires a certain foundation in Formations, as well as a relatively ample Divine Sense.

Spiritual Artifacts, however, are different.

Spiritual Artifacts are meant for all Cultivators, and so the thresholds can’t be too high.

Besides, using them can’t be too complex.

Spiritual Artifacts can be used as long as there is Spiritual Power.

The Formation inside a Spiritual Artifact, once supplied with Spiritual Power, will operate on its own, without the need for additional Divine Sense control.

But the problem lies in the fact that the Five Elements Source Formation requires "Divine Thought conversion".

Drawing Ground into Formation is a Formation logic that can be controlled by Divine Sense.

With Divine Sense control, Divine Thought can be infused, allowing for the conversion of Spiritual Power.

But the Five Elements Source Armor is a Spiritual Artifact.

Its formation inside cannot be controlled by Divine Sense; naturally, it cannot be infused with Divine Thought, cannot "convert", cannot strengthen the Five Elements, and cannot augment Spiritual Power.

Mo Hua had a bit of a headache.

Indeed, what seems like a simple issue can present a host of unexpected problems once it involves practical applications.

This makes the Five Elements Source Armor unlike ordinary Spiritual Artifacts that have an "enclosed Formation" structure.

The Formation within the Five Elements Source Armor must be "Open Source".

Divine Sense can intervene, Divine Thought can convert, and then Spiritual Power can be augmented.

But such a design certainly does not meet the standards of general Spiritual Artifacts; it’s more like a special "Formation Artifact" that sits between "Spiritual Artifact" and "Formation media".

The situation became more complicated...

But this difficulty doesn’t even count as a setback.

Mo Hua was well-prepared mentally and naturally did not feel discouraged, but rather, his ambition soared.

After all, once this "Five Elements Source Armor" is researched and developed, it can break free from the confines of location and the constraints of Formation drawings, elevating the power of Taoist Skill significantly.

With the amplification of Five Elements Source Armor, even if one’s Cultivation is slightly weaker, with the right strategy, one can still overcome opponents of higher levels.

Mo Hua was full of anticipation.

"Let’s take it step by step..."

Mo Hua thought it over and could only go back to start from the Refining Diagram of the Five Elements Source Armor, attempting to "Open Source" the Formation that was encased within the Spiritual Artifact, restructuring the Formation design.
