It had a hint of the flavor of an Ultimate Formation.
But just a hint.
Mo Hua, who drew Ultimate Formations daily, was very sensitive to their essence.
This Disciple named Chu Xuan was drawing a Formation very close to an Ultimate Formation, but not exactly one.
However, it was still very impressive.
This was one of the most gifted First-grade Formation Masters Mo Hua had ever seen.
Such a Formation Master should be well encouraged, not too harshly criticized.
The young Mo Hua felt a sense of appreciation for talent and nodded slightly, beginning to draw his own Formation.
...
Atop the grand hall, the Chief Elder looked at Chu Xuan with some surprise.
"Is this... the Dry Wood Reviving Spring Formation?"
Sect Leader Chu nodded, "Indeed."
"The Dry Wood Reviving Spring Formation, is it not the hereditary ten-patterned Ultimate Formation of your Formation Mysterious Sect?" the Old Ancestor of Shen Family also frowned slightly.
Sect Leader Chu sighed, "The hereditary one is an Ultimate Formation, but this child Chu Xuan's drawing doesn't count as one."
He paused, then calmly explained:
"A ten-patterned Formation requires Foundation Establishment Divine Sense to learn."
Experience tales at
"But a Qi Refinement Disciple doesn't have Foundation Establishment Divine Sense and hence absolutely cannot learn it."
"Therefore, generation after generation of our Sect's Elders have been dedicatedly researching how to simplify this Ultimate Formation so that Qi Refinement Disciples can also learn it."
"After the painstaking efforts of four generations of Sect Leaders, my generation has finally seen some results."
Sect Leader Chu spoke modestly, but his face couldn't hide the pride, clearly very pleased with himself.
"Now, although this Formation's effectiveness has been reduced a bit, it is infinitely close to an Ultimate Formation."
"What's more important is that Qi Refinement Disciples can truly learn it."
"It's just that the Divine Sense required is extremely high, far surpassing the demands of the average ten-patterned Formation, and the difficulty is also exceedingly high..."
Sect Leader Chu stroked his beard in contemplation.
Though he spoke humbly, everyone could see he was boasting.
But there was nothing they could do about it, even though it was obvious.
The Old Ancestor of the Shen Family shook his head.
The Chief Elder was envious, jealous, and a little disheartened.
