He truly could build and control the entire Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation with ease!
```
Following behind Mo Hua, Master Luo was contemplating the complexity of the Large Formation when suddenly, looking up, he saw Mo Hua as if struck by sudden enlightenment, exuding an arcane aura that he found difficult to fathom.
As though grasping some profound principle, his mastery over formations had improved yet again.
There was even a faint sense of the demeanor of a grandmaster of formations.
For an instant, Master Luo thought his eyes were deceiving him.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he found that Mo Hua had lost that profound aura and was back to being the simple little cultivator.
As noon had arrived and someone shouted "time to eat," Mo Hua used the Water Passing Step to happily run off and grab a chicken leg...
Master Luo stood rooted to the spot for a long while before he sighed with a complex expression and muttered doubtfully to himself:
"Did I just see things..."
…
Ten days later, the foundational frame of the Formation media was completed.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of all cultivators, this speed was much faster than Mo Hua had anticipated.
Next, it was time to draw the official Formation.
The Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation takes the Formation eye as its source, the Formation Pivot for overall coordination, the Single Formation for layout, and the Formation media as the cornerstone.
The Formation eye of the Large Formation is composed of multiple first-grade Gathering Spirit Compound Formations, used to refine Spirit Stones, draw in Spiritual Energy, and congeal Spiritual Power for the Formation, thereby providing a source of power for the operation of the entire Large Formation.
The core of the Large Formation is the Formation Pivot, which centrally controls the opening, closing, starting, stopping, flow, and strong inhibition of Spiritual Power.
Only after successfully drawing the Formation Pivot can one lay out the Single Formations that extend beyond it, in sequence.
Similarly, within the entire Large Formation, the Formation Pivot is the most difficult to draw and also represents the core and most secretive part of the Formation. It must be personally drawn by the lead Formation Master.
Or rather, only one capable of drawing the Formation Pivot qualifies to become the lead Formation Master, directing the completion of the Large Formation.
Mo Hua chose a high peak as the location for the Formation Pivot.
With its high elevation and good visibility, and being relatively far from the central area of entrapment and killing, this location is not only suitable for overseeing the entire Large Formation while in control, but also less likely to be affected by the flux of Spiritual Power when Feng Xi is being trapped and killed.
The Formation media for the Formation Pivot is a huge Array Plate forged with fine iron, extremely sturdy and not easily damaged.
Before Mo Hua started drawing, Master Luo and all the other Formation Masters withdrew.
As the Formation Pivot is the core and secret of the Formation Master, it naturally needs to be drawn in secret.
At the same time, Master Luo also knew that it might not necessarily be Mo Hua himself drawing the Formation Pivot; it could be his Gentleman who would begin the drawing, so he took all the Formation Masters out to prevent this matter from being exposed.
Master Luo was quite "considerate" in his considerations for Mo Hua.
But what he didn’t know was that the Formation Pivot of the Large Formation was indeed being drawn by Mo Hua himself.
The Formation Pivot is difficult to draw.
Even though Mo Hua had reached a thorough understanding, drawing the Formation Pivot was still challenging.
When drawing the Formation Patterns on the Array Plate forged with fine iron as the Formation media, the consumption of Divine Sense was even greater.
Due to insufficient Divine Sense, Mo Hua failed twice and had to use Spiritual Dissipation Liquid to erase the Formation Patterns and start over.
Also, because of the overly intricate Pattern lines, he made mistakes in two places and had to start again.
…
After failing five or six times, Mo Hua was not discouraged.
Thanks to the understanding he had just gained, the Pattern lines of the Formation Pivot were clearly presented in his mind.
He knew he could draw it out; he just needed to familiarize himself more and also needed some opportunities for trial and error.
Five days later, after Mo Hua had made countless attempts, he finally managed to draw out the Formation Pivot of the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation.
Threading his Divine Sense through the Formation Pivot, every Pattern line came forth distinct and clear, with the paths of varying Spiritual Powers also matching the records in the Large Formation Jade Slip.
Not feeling reassured, Mo Hua checked it over from beginning to end several times before finally letting out a soft sigh of relief.
He had succeeded!
Mo Hua gazed at the profound and complex Formation Pivot before him, a surge of joy welling up inside him.
The structure of the Formation Pivot was strict; the accumulated meticulous strokes formed sharp edges, creating a complex and arcane sense of beauty.
The only drawback was that this was the first time Mo Hua drew the Formation Pivot on the Array Plate, and his strokes were not yet proficient; there were too many attempts, making it look somewhat unsightly.
Although not visually pleasing, it was functional, and that’s what mattered!
Mo Hua felt that being pragmatic as a Cultivator was more important; practicality trumps everything.
Once the Formation Pivot was complete, Master Luo led the other Formation Masters back in, and upon seeing the scene before them, they were all deeply shaken.
So this was the Formation Pivot of the Large Formation...
The complex Pattern lines were daunting, clearly beyond their ability to learn...
After marveling for a while, Master Luo scrutinized the Formation Pivot for a long time.
On one hand, he was amazed that this highly skilled person’s mastery of formations was superb, actually managing to draw the Formation Pivot; on the other hand, he was puzzled by the seemingly inexperienced strokes of this "highly skilled person," reminiscent of a child’s scribbles, with so many reapplyings...
