"Then what else is there to ask?"
Mo Hua quickly reviewed the Formations he could currently learn, and those that might be useful after learning them. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Elder Zheng, are you familiar with the Yuan Magnetic Formation?"
"Yuan Magnetic Formation?"
"Yes," Mo Hua nodded, "I—this junior—am rather dull, and have only done a little research earlier, so I’m not proficient and have many questions..."
"The Yuan Magnetic Formation is actually more accurately known as the ’Thunder Magnetism’ Formation. Its core is the internal ’Secondary Thunder Pattern.’ The Secondary Thunder Pattern contains the character ’Thunder,’ so does it have a certain connection with the Bagua Thunder Formation? What similarities and differences would the Secondary Thunder Flow represented by the Secondary Thunder Pattern have with real lightning..."
Elder Zheng’s expression gradually grew somewhat astonished.
So, the disciples nowadays have studied Formations to such an extent?
Thunder Magnetism, Secondary Thunder Pattern, Secondary Thunder Flow—these obscure Formation concepts are only things that Third or Fourth-grade Array Masters, after acquiring special inheritances, would study...
But having some difficulty is good too.
For a dignified Fourth-grade Array Master like himself, answering those too basic Formation questions would not be interesting.
Elder Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "The Secondary Thunder Pattern, along with the accompanying Secondary Thunder Flow, known among cultivators as ’Yuan Magnetic,’ is a very faint and subtle form of thunder and lightning. It is considered a derivative of a ’Thunder Formation,’ but its nature is different from a true Thunder Formation, and its uses are vastly distinct."
"Although the Zheng Family inherits Thunder Formations, over the years, they have also dabbled somewhat in derivative and secondary Formations related to ’Thunder.’"
"The Yuan Magnetic Formation, Secondary Thunder Pattern—these are rare Formation inheritances, but unlike Thunder Formations, they aren’t truly classified secrets, nor are they prohibited from being passed down. I can tell you about them..."
Mo Hua was overjoyed, "Thank you, Elder Zheng."
Afterwards, Mo Hua asked Elder Zheng many questions regarding the Formation knowledge related to the Yuan Magnetic Formation, Secondary Thunder Pattern, and Secondary Thunder Flow.
Elder Zheng held nothing back in his explanations.
The two of them had a most satisfying conversation.
As the sky gradually darkened towards dusk, Elder Zheng was preparing to leave, and the greatly enriched Mo Hua still had some lingering enthusiasm.
He was a bit reluctant and asked, "Elder Zheng, are you leaving for the clan today?"
Elder Zheng nodded, "There’s a farewell banquet this evening, and around 7:00 PM, I’ll take the Cloud Ferry to depart."
Burdened with the legacy of the Thunder Formation and having resigned from the Elder position at the Qian Dao Sect, he had in essence offended the Qian Dao Sect.
Leaving Qianxue State Boundary sooner was better to avoid complications.
Mo Hua was somewhat disappointed, "What about the Array Discussion Conference? Aren’t you going to take a look?" The source of thɪs content is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Elder Zheng shook his head, "No, I’m not."
It’s no longer important...
There was a complexity in his expression.
The Dao Discussion Conference seems like a grand event, but at its core, it’s just a "gathering" of big and prestigious families.
It has nothing to do with the vast majority of the common cultivators.
Even, future Dao Discussion Conferences would also be a "game."
Played by those so-called Heaven’s Chosen Sons who don’t really "care for the world," who use it to climb to higher positions and seek their own interests.
All of this would gradually become disconnected from the lowest-tier cultivators of this world.
The numerous unsung individuals would be gradually forgotten.
This is the trend, almost irreversible.
Especially for Formations, which have a high entry barrier by nature, the big families will intensify their monopoly, making the barriers increasingly high, leaving almost no room for luck.
This Array Discussion Conference is without suspense, and there’s nothing worth seeing anymore.
Mo Hua felt some regret but could only bid farewell, saying:
"Then I wish you a smooth journey and a safe return to the clan. May you advance even further in Formations in the future."
Elder Zheng smiled slightly, "I also wish you great accomplishments in your youth, with boundless prospects."
Mo Hua squinted his eyes and smiled.
Subsequently, they parted ways.
Mo Hua and Zheng Fang walked shoulder to shoulder back to Taixu Gate.
Elder Zheng watched them leave, particularly observing Mo Hua’s departing figure, and suddenly felt much of his gloom lift, feeling greatly comforted.
In this world, even if dust obscures the sky and confusion shrouds everything, there will always be a clear breeze and a bright moon to soothe the heart.
