Additionally, there was a storage bag full of Formation Diagrams.
After returning to the Disciple’s Residence, Mo Hua began to inventory the gains from this trip.
First, this Thunder Magnetic Array Plate.
With jade as its base, bordered in red gold, and etched with silver patterns, it was covered with Magnetic Patterns and linked to various intricate structures, the kind of Formation media Mo Hua had never seen before, clearly very expensive.
Additionally, there were as many as four Thunder Magnetic Array Diagrams.
Including the "Thunder Magnetic Introduction Array Map," "Thunder Magnetic Introduction Map," "Thunder Magnetic Annotation Map," and "Thunder Magnetic Defense and Attack Initial Resolution Map."
However, many of these diagrams were incomplete, as if that black-robed Formation Master tried to destroy them before dying but didn’t finish the job.
Mo Hua turned to see that the Thunder Magnetic Array Plate also showed some deformities.
It seemed that the Formation Master wanted to destroy this Plate as well before dying but couldn’t bring himself to do it.
This Array Plate was truly the lifelong effort of the Thunder Magnetic Array Master. He couldn’t bear to destroy it even in death, ultimately leaving it to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua glanced again at the Array Plate, flipped through the Formation Diagrams, and then discovered a problem.
These Formation Diagrams were all Third Grade, unlearnable for him.
The Array Plate was also of Third Grade, equally unusable for him.
But the strange part was that the Thunder Magnetic Formation crafted with the Array Plate as media contained both Second and Third Grades together, somewhat incongruous.
Overall, it was Third Grade, but the Formation eye and Core Array Pivot were Second Grade.
Just like...
Formation "Frequency Reduction"?
Mo Hua was a bit perplexed, only able to speculate that a Formation Master at the Golden Core Realm found learning Third Grade Thunder Magnetic Arrays too challenging, thus downgrading the formation patterns, using a Second Grade Formation eye and Array Pivot to activate a Third Grade Formation.
"Is such a method possible?" Mo Hua frowned, "How can one balance the structure of Second and Third Grades, resolve Spiritual Power conflicts, harmonize Pattern contradictions, and organize the direction of the Array Pivot?"
Unable to understand, Mo Hua decided to find someone to consult when he had time.
In his own view, such "Frequency Reduction" in formations seemed rather "useless," yet he felt intuitively that this knowledge would surely prove immensely useful in the future.
Of course, for now, it’s still quite useless.
Below the Golden Core, he couldn’t depict Third Grade patterns, nor learn Third Grade formations.
Even reducing a Third Grade, mixed with a Second Grade Array Pivot, was still beyond him.
Therefore, although the gains this trip were immense, the Thunder Magnetic Array Plate and Diagrams, this entire legacy, were extremely rare, yet currently not very practical.
The only practical item was a Token.
The Token was not part of the Array Plate and Diagrams, and by rights, didn’t belong to the stolen "legacy" of the Taixu Gate; it ought to be submitted to the Taoist Court.
It was secretly slipped into the storage bag by Uncle Gu.
Gu Changhuai was very familiar with Mo Hua and knew he always liked collecting Tokens, also aware that he could "decipher" Letter Tokens to steal intelligence.
Thus at that time, Mo Hua had only stared at the Token for a moment, when Gu Changhuai understood instantly, discreetly hiding the Token in his sleeve, then slipping it into the storage bag along with the Formation Diagrams, handing it to Mo Hua.
"Uncle Gu is truly a Great Good Person!"
Mo Hua silently thought to himself.
Then he picked up the Token, examined it carefully, with his gaze growing increasingly bright.
This Token was stained with pitch-black blood, engraved with a ferocious demonic image, complex in patterns, similar to a previous Demon Sect Token but clearly of a higher level.
If Mo Hua guessed correctly, this Token should be a Demon Sect’s "Guest Elder Token," issued to "Guest Elders," possessing true "Elder" level authority of a Token!
"At last..."
Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Previously, he had killed several Demon Sect Elders, but none had dropped an Elder’s Token. Now, finally, he had managed to obtain one!
