Mo Hua then realized that his vision had been too narrow...
The inheritance of the Five Elements Sect far exceeded his expectations!
But the confusion in his heart only grew:
What was the difference between the Five Elements Formation Flow and the Immortal Sky Formation Flow?
If the Immortal Sky Formation Flow governed all the formations under the heavens and aligned with the Dao of Formation, did it include the Five Elements Formation Flow?
Did the Five Elements Formation Flow contain some Formation principles that the Immortal Sky Formation Flow had never touched upon?
Or were they completely different inheritances?
Mo Hua was somewhat puzzled.
Besides that, there was an even more important question:
The Five Elements Sect built a Shrine, established a Taoist Field, calculated Formations, simplified complexity, and united the multitude into one, in an attempt to deduce the deepest and most abstruse Formation Flow within the inheritance of formations.
Had they, in the end, calculated it?
If they had, where was this Five Elements Formation Flow?
Or rather, what exactly was the Five Elements Formation Flow, and in what form did it exist?

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.
It was then that he realized he truly had no idea what a Formation Flow actually was.
He had never studied the Immortal Sky Formation Flow, not even seen it, only grasping a vague concept, understanding only half of it.
Mo Hua furrowed his brow, contemplating with doubt in his heart:
"What exactly is the so-called 'Formation Flow' as an inheritance?"
"Is it a Cultivation Technique? A Taoist Skill? A formation arrangement? A string of thoughts? An insight? A Divine Thought?"
"Or is it like the Five Elements Spirit Formation, a display of some Formation principle?"
Mo Hua searched the Taoist Field once again with great detail but still found nothing—the only anomaly, the Formation Patterns in the central Taoist Field.
He hadn't noticed them before, but now that he had learned the Five Elements Calculation Method and applied it to deduce, he discovered many of the Patterns in the center of the field were actually incomplete.
It was as if they had premises but no conclusions.
There were Calculations but no Formation Flow.
Mo Hua sighed with a hint of regret.
It seemed that they hadn't figured it out...
But after thinking it over, this seemed normal.
If the Five Elements Sect truly had calculated the Five Elements Formation Flow and used it as their inheritance, they would have greatly flourished in the way of Formations, ascending to the ranks of a top Formation Sect, and their descendants wouldn't have fallen into decline like this.
It appeared that a Formation Flow was exceedingly difficult to calculate.
Probably, the Five Elements Sect had wanted to accomplish everything in one stroke, expending massive human and material resources, as well as the mental power of Formation Masters, only to fail in the end, unable to calculate the Formation Flow, leading the Sect to waste its time, deplete its foundation, and suffer greatly, gradually leading to its decline...
They gambled on their fortune but lost...
Such a pity...
Mo Hua felt a touch of regret.
He genuinely wanted to experience for himself what the true Five Elements Formation Flow was like.
But on second thought, being able to learn the Five Elements Sect's Calculation Method was already quite an accomplishment.
One must not be too greedy.
Moreover, having learned this Calculation, did it mean...
When his Divine Sense was strong enough and his study of Formations was deep enough in the future, he could try to calculate the Formation Flow himself?
To deduce my own Formation Flow?
A spark of excitement leaped in Mo Hua's heart, his eyes shone brightly, filled with anticipation.
Mo Hua gazed at the Taoist Field once more.
This Taoist Field, which recorded the method of Formation Flow deduction, was the true Heritage Taoist Field of the Five Elements Sect.
But this was as far as he could learn.
After all, the Shrine belonged to the Five Elements Sect, not to him; he could not continue studying there indefinitely.
He needed to find a way to leave.
Mo Hua circled around once more and found that the key to leaving was still the meditation mat.
When he came in, Mo Hua had noticed that there were Formation Patterns on the meditation mat within the Heritage Taoist Field, but these Patterns were Variant Formation Patterns.
At first, he didn't understand them.
Now that he had understood the unique Calculation Method of the Five Elements Sect, he got it.
