"Where is the inheritance of the Five Elements Spirit Formation?"
The Little Five Elements Ghost sneered, "Arrogant! Do you think I would be afraid of you?"
With a flick of Mo Hua's fingertip, a bright red fireball whooshed out.
The Little Five Elements Ghost tried to dodge, but found itself firmly locked in by the Junior Formation Master's Divine Sense, and unless he could run faster than the Fireball Technique, there was no escaping it.
It was hit by the Fireball Technique again.
The Divine Sense Manifestation fireball exploded on its body, the flames scorching its flesh. Though the fire was a manifestation of Divine Thought and void of substance, the searing pain felt vivid and real.
Time was of the essence, so Mo Hua showed no mercy.
One Fireball Technique after another, bombarding the Little Five Elements Ghost without giving it a chance to fight back.
It wanted to rush toward Mo Hua, but that meant facing a barrage of fireballs.
On the rare occasions it broke free from the suppression of the fireballs, it would be bound by the Water Prison Technique.
If it didn't close in on Mo Hua, it could only be worn down by Mo Hua's long-range fireball attacks.
And the problem was that this Fireball Technique was wickedly effective – fast, accurate, and with formidable power.
After about a dozen exchanges, the Little Five Elements Ghost felt utterly disheartened.
It realized that it was no match at all.
It was just a little ghost.
While the one it faced was a "monster."
Everyone has their limits, and ghosts were no exception.
Only the wise can recognize the situation and act accordingly, and that includes becoming a "sage among ghosts."
Thus, the Little Five Elements Ghost, formerly masquerading as the Tao Teaching Elder, fell to its knees with a plop and called out:
"Young friend, spare my life!"
Seeing that its voice was loud and clear, signaling it still had plenty of energy, Mo Hua didn't stop the assault, thinking to further deplete its strength.
The Little Five Elements Ghost became anxious and hastily elevated Mo Hua in status:
"Young man, young master, little ancestor!"
"No more beating, please spare my life!"
When Mo Hua heard "little ancestor" come out of its mouth, he grudgingly ceased the attack and then repeated:
"Where is the inheritance of the Five Elements Spirit Formation?"
The Little Five Elements Ghost hesitated unwillingly to speak.
Mo Hua didn't indulge it and sent another fireball hurtling over.
Only then did the Little Five Elements Ghost get honest, looking uneasily at Mo Hua's expression and said:
"I...I really don't know..."
Mo Hua showed displeasure, a trace of cold light flickering in his eyes.
The Little Five Elements Ghost hastily said:
"Little ancestor, truly! I don't know!"
"You've been in this Taoist Field for so long, masquerading as the 'Tao Teaching Elder,' and you don't know anything?"
Mo Hua clearly didn't believe it.
The Little Five Elements Ghost said, "I was just an ordinary ghost, living inside a broken painting, drifting all over the place. Later, I was captured by the old Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, who suppressed my malicious spirit and threw me into this shrine to impersonate the 'Tao Teaching Elder' and deceive cultivators who wanted to learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation..."
"Although I've stayed in this Taoist Field for a long time, I know very little about formations."
"As for the Five Elements Spirit Formation, such a profound Ultimate Formation, I am completely ignorant."
"Little ancestor, you must believe me!"

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.
This Little Five Elements Ghost spoke flippantly about being a common ghost residing in a broken painting, drifting around...
The truth was certainly not that simple.
Mo Hua still remembered the first Contemplation Map he saw with the Little Green-faced Ghost in it.
That ghost's lingering memories included transforming from a person to a ghost, then going around misleading cultivators and devouring their Divine Sense.
This Little Five Elements Ghost was probably not much different.
It definitely hadn't been short on bad deeds!
But the immediate priority was the Five Elements Spirit Formation. Other matters could be settled later.
Mo Hua's expression grew serious.
