Chapter 543: Deterrence | Trận Vấn Trường Sinh

Trận Vấn Trường Sinh - Updated on May 16, 2025

The package includes one item, or rather, a complete set of the Five Elements Absolute Array inheritance!

Moreover, it’s the ancient inheritance of the once top-tier array sect, the Five Elements Sect!

Mo Hua was extremely excited.

Mr. Zhuang waited until Mo Hua finished expressing his joy, then smiled slightly and said:

“Of course, it’s not that simple…”

“I knew it…” Mo Hua muttered in his heart, thought for a moment, and then asked Mr. Zhuang:

“Master, this foundation must be hidden very deeply, right?”

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said in a deep voice:

“It’s not easy to obtain the foundation inheritance of the Five Elements Sect…”

“First, as I just said, you need a method to suppress the ‘source pattern’. If you can’t suppress it and rashly try to deduce the source pattern, you will inevitably be ‘parasitized’ by the ‘source pattern’, and both your body and soul will perish…”

“Even if you can suppress it, you must be extremely careful.”

“This source pattern is too ancient, and it contains immense computational power. We don’t know exactly what changes have occurred.”

“That year, the Five Elements Sect was so powerful, had so many array masters, and their array learning was so profound, yet they still couldn’t handle it.”

“So, if you truly want to comprehend and deduce the ‘source pattern’, you must be careful again and again, and you must have full confidence!”

Mr. Zhuang’s expression was solemn.

Mo Hua’s little face nodded seriously, “Master, I will definitely be careful. I should be ‘cowardly’ when I need to be ‘cowardly’!”

Mr. Zhuang couldn’t help but smile and continued:

“The second requirement is still divine sense.”

“The source pattern involves deduction, and deduction consumes a lot of divine sense.”

“Moreover, it’s reverse deduction, and it’s also deducing this kind of ‘source pattern’ that condenses countless computational power. Therefore, the requirement for divine sense is also extremely high.”

Mr. Zhuang looked at the “Five Elements Array Flow Chart” again, his gaze fixed on the five pairs of tightly closed five-colored “source patterns”. His gaze was deep as he slowly said:

“This ‘source pattern’ includes all the Five Elements Spirit Arrays and all the Five Elements Arrays treasured by the Five Elements Sect, like an array ‘Dao Treasury’.”

“But most of the arrays inside are ‘encrypted’ through array pattern variations.”

“If your divine sense is not strong enough, you cannot deduce them.”

“With your current divine sense, even if you try to deduce it, you can only see the tip of the iceberg…”

“The remaining ‘Dao Treasury’ is boundless and endless. You can wait until your cultivation improves and your divine sense becomes stronger in the future to excavate and comprehend it.”

Mr. Zhuang closed the array flow chart and stuffed it into Mo Hua’s hand.

“This source pattern includes all phenomena of the Five Elements…”

“It is the most core array inheritance of the entire Five Elements Sect. Looking at the entire cultivation world, it can be said to be a rare treasure, worth a city…”

“You must keep it safe and remember, do not reveal it, otherwise you will be coveted by others!”

Mo Hua only felt that the chart in his hand was as heavy as a thousand jin, and he nodded solemnly.

Mr. Zhuang touched Mo Hua’s head and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“There’s one more thing…” Mr. Zhuang said again, “The Five Elements Spirit Array needs to be renamed.”

“Change the name?” Mo Hua was startled, “Does it sound bad?”

Although he felt that the Five Elements Spirit Array was not domineering enough, and didn’t show much style, like a common array and a bit rustic, it wasn’t so bad that it needed to be renamed…

Mr. Zhuang smiled and shook his head, “Array names involve array principles and are generally not chosen casually.”

“The Five Elements Spirit Array includes the word ‘spirit’. Although it sounds ordinary, array masters who understand it know that this array involves the essence of Five Elements spiritual power, which is vastly different from ordinary arrays.”

“I’m asking you to change the name because I want you to avoid taboos and not be associated with the Five Elements Sect.”

“The Five Elements Spirit Array is closely related to the Five Elements Sect. If you know the Five Elements Spirit Array, it necessarily means that you have some connection with the Five Elements Sect.”

“Bearing jade is a crime.”

“In the eyes of those with ulterior motives, you are now carrying a treasure, revealing your name, and swaggering around.”

Mo Hua suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, saying:

“Master is right!”

“It’s best to make a fortune in silence!”

“Although we are a bright and upright sect, being too showy can easily draw hatred and trouble.”

“Furthermore, that great elder is old and narrow-minded. If he knows that I have learned their sect’s foundational array, he will probably be angered to death. To prevent him from having a heart attack from anger, let’s just not tell him!”

Mo Hua said very thoughtfully.

Mr. Zhuang couldn’t help but laugh, pondered for a moment, and then instructed:

“Karma in the cultivation world, what goes around comes around. Although you obtained this source pattern by your own ability, after all, you can also consider it as receiving a favor from the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect.”

“Later, if you have the opportunity, you can repay the karma and do some good deeds for the Five Elements Sect lineage, but not now…”

“Okay.” Mo Hua nodded, “I remember.”

Then he asked again: “Master, the Five Elements Spirit Array… what name should I change it to?”

Mr. Zhuang said gently: “You can think about this yourself. There are few array masters in this school originally, so you have something that others don’t. It’s also your foundation. You’ll be the one using the name anyway.”

Mo Hua wrinkled his little face.

This was indeed a serious matter and needed careful consideration. It couldn’t be rushed.

But it wasn’t urgent now.

The current urgent matter was to see if he could suppress the source pattern according to his original plan and reverse deduce all the Five Elements arrays, including the Five Elements Spirit Pattern, from the source pattern.

Mo Hua took his leave from Mr. Zhuang. After returning to his room, he was about to start comprehending the “source pattern”.

But after thinking about it, he still felt it wasn’t appropriate.

He had promised his master that he would be a bit “cowardly”.

Mo Hua then set up some breath isolation arrays around him to prevent detection, and also set up control arrays to prevent himself from running around in a mess after being “parasitized”.

The arrays in the room were dense, like a spider web.

Mo Hua patted his hands and felt much more at ease.

But he was still not reassured. He ran to the next door and knocked on the door.

Bai Zi Xi opened the door and looked at Mo Hua doubtfully.

Mo Hua said: “Senior sister, if I become abnormal later, just stop me and then go call Master.”

Bai Zi Xi’s eyes lit up, “Should I still knock you out?”

Mo Hua’s back of his head ached slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and said: “Knock me out!” Then he added:

“But, can you be a little gentler…”

Bai Zi Xi nodded, “I’ll be gentler.”

After entrusting this task, Mo Hua returned to his room and placed the “Five Elements Array Flow Chart”, which contained the Five Elements Variation Source Pattern, in front of him.

Mo Hua was about to open it, but hesitated for a moment, feeling that he could still be a bit more “cowardly”…

Mo Hua looked at the sky. It was already Hai Shi. Not long after, it would be Zi Shi.

He would wait until Zi Shi, when the Dao Stele would appear in his sea of consciousness.

With the Dao Stele supporting him, he would then proceed to comprehend.

“Sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood. Let’s wait a little longer…”

Mo Hua sat cross-legged, calming his heart and concentrating his spirit.

As soon as Zi Shi arrived, Mo Hua immediately opened his eyes. After opening the chart, he calmly visualized and concentrated all his energy on deduction.

The source pattern was closed and showed no anomaly, just an ordinary array flow.

It was an array summarized into an array source flow.

Mo Hua used the deduction method of the Five Elements Sect to reverse deduce.

Indeed, in his sea of consciousness, along the edge of the source pattern, a small amount of array patterns slowly analyzed out, detached, changed, and finally formed a complete array.

Mo Hua was very familiar with these arrays.

They were all commonly used Five Elements arrays within the scope of the First Grade.

Although there were some differences in brushwork and some changes in array patterns due to the ancient inheritance, they were essentially the same.

Mo Hua’s spirit trembled.

Master was right, reverse deduction was feasible.

This source pattern was like a Dao Treasury, an array dao treasure that contained countless Five Elements arrays.

As long as he learned deduction, he could reverse parse and obtain various Five Elements array charts.

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up and he continued to deduce.

His sea of consciousness was quiet and silent, and Mo Hua’s heart was clear.

He calculated like this for most of the night, and Mo Hua finally understood another point.

Reverse deduction was related to the strength of divine sense.

How strong his divine sense was determined what grade of Five Elements array he could deduce.

His current divine sense was at the peak of the thirteen patterns, so the array patterns he deduced were also below the thirteen patterns.

He could not “crack” arrays above the thirteen patterns.

As for what specific array he could deduce, it was just a matter of chance.

Currently, the arrays Mo Hua deduced from the “source pattern” were all Five Elements arrays, but they varied greatly, including gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, ranging from arrays with three or four array patterns to First Grade arrays with nine patterns.

It was like drawing lots. Whatever he drew was what he got, without any rules.

Mo Hua furrowed his brow.

According to his inference, deducing the source pattern and deducing the array flow was a vast project. This kind of “cultivation project” must have structure and rules.

These array patterns must also be summarized together according to a certain order and framework to form the source pattern. It couldn’t be disordered.

It was just that Mo Hua was still unclear now. He would have to wait until later to slowly comprehend…

Mo Hua couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration again.

Thousands of years of foundation…

Exactly how many arrays would be in this source pattern?

If he thoroughly deduced and completely “cracked” it, what would it look like?

What if he learned all the arrays inside?

He would not only know arrays but also know how to deduce them.

Wouldn’t he just be a “human-shaped source pattern”?

Mo Hua just thought randomly like this, feeling very excited in his heart.

As he thought, he suddenly felt a little sleepy. It seemed that deducing for a long time had made him a little tired, and his divine sense had also been consumed quite a bit.

Mo Hua’s eyelids were fighting, he was a little muddled, and his little head was also nodding non-stop…

Let’s sleep for a while…

Mo Hua thought so in his heart. A moment later, he suddenly jolted awake.

Sleep? Sleep what sleep?!

He was in his sea of consciousness, still in front of the Dao Stele. He never felt sleepy!

“Something’s wrong!”

Mo Hua opened his eyes and saw that the “source pattern” on the “Five Elements Array Flow Chart” had opened its eyes at some point!

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat, and he guarded himself with all his spirit, observing his divine sense.

Indeed!

In his sea of consciousness, there were dense array patterns again.

This “source pattern” was not peaceful again. It was secretly plotting evil, taking advantage of his excessive divine sense consumption during deduction to deduce an earth-based sleep array, wanting him to fall asleep.

At the same time, its array patterns, like ants and tentacles, were secretly infiltrating his sea of consciousness!

“It still wants to parasitize me?”

Mo Hua’s gaze condensed.

Something was wrong!

Mo Hua followed the array patterns and was shocked in his heart:

“The source pattern’s target is the Dao Stele?”

“It’s audacious, wanting to parasitize the Dao Stele?”

Mo Hua wrinkled his brow, his thoughts turned urgently, and after thinking for a while, he couldn’t help but sink his face:

“No, it wants to… assimilate with the Dao Stele?”

Mo Hua instantly realized.

The Dao Stele was illusory and intangible, aligning with the great dao, and possessed the aura of the great dao.

This “source pattern” wanted to align with the great dao and fuse with the Dao Stele?!

“This source pattern wants to be a ‘little concubine’ and attach itself to the Dao Stele?!”

Do you even qualify?

Mo Hua raised his eyebrow and immediately wanted to use the deduction method to summarize the array patterns again and force the source pattern back into the “Five Elements Array Flow Chart”.

However, his deduction was still a bit slow. Several strands of five-colored array patterns had already spread along Mo Hua’s sea of consciousness and climbed onto the central Dao Stele.

The five-colored array patterns were printed on the surface of the illusory Dao Stele.

The “pupil” of the source pattern suddenly widened.

The ancient great dao aura made it tremble, but it also seemed to make it extremely excited.

It was being erased by the great dao little by little, but at the same time, it was also approaching the source of the great dao and transforming little by little…

Mo Hua wanted to use the deduction method to suppress the array patterns, but his divine sense was limited, and his speed was still too slow after all…

Mo Hua’s heart sank slightly.

Just at this moment, a silent aura suddenly appeared from the Dao Stele.

This aura was also ancient, but more domineering, with the icy coldness and silence that erased everything.

On the Dao Stele, the blood-colored array pattern lit up!

It was the immortal pattern that Mo Hua had secretly peeked at and recorded from the crack in the heavenly dao when he collapsed the great array, erased the seal, touched the heavenly dao array, and caused the thunder tribulation to descend!

The immortal pattern’s aura appeared. Scarlet tribulation thunder actually appeared on the Dao Stele.

The tribulation thunder flickered, and in just an instant, it completely erased all the array patterns spread by the “Five Elements Source Pattern”!

The source pattern was greatly injured in vitality, its pupils were shocked, and it was extremely fearful.

Immortal pattern?

Tribulation thunder?

If the Dao Stele meant including all the great dao.

Then the tribulation thunder meant pure “kill dao”, erasing all things.

The source pattern seemed completely unexpected that Mo Hua’s sea of consciousness had also recorded an immortal pattern, carved a tribulation thunder, and hidden a shocking kill tribulation!

The source pattern “whooshed” back into the “Five Elements Array Flow Chart” at lightning speed.

This time its “pupils” closed even tighter, as if condensed into a fine line, shivering, not daring to open them even a little, afraid that after opening, it would “see” something terrifying again.

Mo Hua was a little speechless.

“Aren’t you just asking for trouble? You don’t learn your lesson until you’re beaten…”

The “source pattern” this time didn’t even dare to be angry, only hid in the chart and played dead silently.

Mo Hua shook his head, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Dao Stele suppressing it and the immortal pattern deterring it.

This Five Elements “source pattern” should be completely honest and dare not have any more evil thoughts.

It would be much safer to deduce the Five Elements array patterns in the future.

But at the same time, Mo Hua again had a doubt:

What was the relationship between the immortal pattern and the source pattern?

Wasn’t the immortal pattern itself a kind of more advanced “source pattern”?

So…

He deduced the “source pattern” and could obtain the Five Elements arrays compiled within the source pattern…

Then, if one day his divine sense became powerful enough to deduce the “immortal pattern”, what would he deduce from the “immortal pattern”?

Heavenly tribulation?

Thunder array?

Mo Hua’s little heart was pounding.

But these were just guesses, and he wasn’t sure yet.

He would have to wait until later, when his cultivation was higher, his divine sense was stronger, and his array attainment was higher, to verify…

Mo Hua sighed.

His cultivation was still not high enough, and his divine sense was still not strong enough…

It seemed he needed to cultivate diligently and build his foundation earlier.

And there were so many powerful arrays waiting for him to learn!

Mo Hua’s spirit vibrated, and he nodded.

On the other side, in front of the shrine, the great elder still frowned.

Mo Hua and the other two “suffered setbacks”, and Mr. Zhuang “ate dirt”. The great elder felt a great sense of satisfaction and indeed raised his eyebrows and exhaled for several days.

But after several days, the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

Mr. Zhuang… calculates without omission, and is not the type to fail so easily…

As for his three disciples.

He didn’t know much about that brother and sister pair, so he wouldn’t talk about them for now.

Just saying that little array master surnamed Mo, his talent was shocking, and his array talent was indeed extraordinary, but his biggest problem was that he had talent but no virtue!

His heart was too bad!

He was very cunning!

Would such a small array master be so lost just because he couldn’t learn an array?

Or, it wasn’t normal for him to not be able to learn it, but with his talent, it was just not normal for him to not learn anything at all…

The great elder felt that he was very likely being tricked by this master and disciple duo surnamed Zhuang!

The key was that he still believed it!

The great elder’s qi and blood surged.

He lit incense again in front of the shrine.

This time the incense was normal and burned completely safely.

The great elder’s brow furrowed even tighter.

No anomaly meant no hint.

Where was the hint?

Where did that little ghost raised in this shrine go?

The great elder sized up the shrine again and suddenly was stunned.

The shrine looked normal, but there was a place below that was black and murky, and it seemed… to be missing a door?

Who knocked down the main door of the shrine?

No way…

Inside the shrine was the inheritance of the Five Elements Sect.

The main door of the shrine was knocked down, and the little ghost inside was gone.

The great elder only felt his heart tremble, and a difficult-to-believe thought floated in his mind:

“My Five Elements Sect’s old foundation wasn’t emptied, was it…”

“No way…”
