Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2067 - 985: God-slaying Soul Projection (2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Even if the might weakens a bit, the power one can truly command remains the essence of one's abilities.
Employing the refined Divine Thought into sword technique, should it escape the confines of its sheath, merely fifty percent of its potency proves sufficient.
Eliminate the Taishang Emotion Cutting, cut the Tai Xu Sword Intent in half, reduce the fused Dao by the same measure, which lightens the burden accordingly, accelerates the attacks, and boosts the effectiveness in battle.
In every mystical art, nothing surpasses speed as the ultimate advantage.
Grandpa Gui imparted this lesson to me ages ago.
It's preferable to outpace by the slightest margin than to overpower by a greater degree.
The challenge of forming the Godslaying Sword appears resolved now.
The following concern lies in how to unleash it.
For unleashing, the eyes act as the conduit, shattering the divide between the Sea of Consciousness and the physical realm, allowing the Divine Thought into sword to emerge completely.
In one way, this matter holds even greater importance.
Should the divine thought's flow get obstructed at a vital instant, the line between real and illusory stays intact, preventing the Sword of Divine Thought from being launched, that would mean total defeat.
Imagine two cultivators clashing intensely with blades drawn.
When the foe's blade presses against your throat, yet your own remains trapped in its scabbard, death comes in utter foolishness.
Mo Hua's face grew solemn.
He absolutely refuses to perish in such a "foolish" manner.
"I have to discover a method guaranteeing the Divine Thought into sword exits its sheath without fail..."
Yet, mastering the release of the spell point lies beyond Mo Hua's current level.
Having strayed far "beyond the curriculum," without any prior examples, he must probe step by step, refining it to fit his personal circumstances.
Mo Hua reflected briefly, drawing on lessons from Patriarch Dugu long ago.
Per the Taixu Gate's purest Divine Thought into sword True Jue, a physical "sword" serves as the necessary channel for deployment.
Mo Hua isn't a traditional Sword Cultivator, lacking such a blade.
Thus, his only option is to employ his eyes in that role.
However, channeling through the eyes turns the Divine Thought into sword into a far more intricate and deep spell point.
Given Mo Hua's present cultivation base and Sword Dao skill, stable mastery remains out of reach.
Unsteadiness often results in collapse; a single collapse brings catastrophe.
"I require an additional channel to guarantee steadiness..."
But what addition would work?
He owns no personal Magical Treasure, not even the beginnings of one being nurtured.
Beyond the eyes, his body provides no fitting alternative...
With brows furrowed, Mo Hua strained his mind extensively, until at last, drawing from his deep expertise in arrays, he gleaned insight from the First Grade's twenty-three-pattern Five Elements Source Formation Law.
Spiritual Power!
At the heart of the Five Elements Source Formation lies the use of divine thought, transformed via the array to magnify Five Elements might, thus strengthening Five Elements Taoist Skills.
This shows that Spiritual Power and Telekinesis, though appearing as separate forces in Tao Cultivation, stem from the same root.
Spiritual Power merges seamlessly with divine thought.
In a way, Spiritual Power can function as a conduit for "divine thought."
Such integration demands intricacy and likely specific Dao Laws, or else the Five Elements Source Formation couldn't stand as the Five Elements Sect's supreme guardian array.
Mo Hua seeks no elaborate shifts, though.
He simply aims to use his Spiritual Power to steer his Divine Sense.
As his own innate energies, Spiritual Power and Divine Sense share natural harmony, enabling smooth activation free of conflict.
"Spiritual Power steers Divine Sense..."
Mo Hua mused briefly, then jolted in realization, recalling his cultivation method—Heaven Yan Jue.
In cultivating Heaven Yan Jue, breakthroughs in realms see Spiritual Power withdraw to the Heavenly Gate, pour into the Sea of Consciousness, link with Divine Sense, and erect a Spirit Screen of Mystery Formations as the breakthrough's barrier.
Could this suggest...
Heaven Yan Jue's workings entail a harmony between Spiritual Power and Telekinesis... or even their partial blending?
Mo Hua's features shifted subtly, struck with profound impact.
This delves into merging a cultivator's core powers.
The timeless technique from his master truly harbors vast enigmas.
Regrettably, his cultivation stays too low, grasping only faint outlines, far from grasping Heaven Yan Jue's profound core.
"Keep refining it gradually; maybe with rising cultivation and sharper insight, I'll slowly unveil this ancient method's hidden truths..."
Mo Hua pushed aside the puzzles of Heaven Yan Jue for now, pressing on with focused study of releasing the Divine Thought into sword.
After some reflection, he'd already resolved the bulk of the puzzles, devising an approach from his accumulated wisdom and trials.
All that's left is to test it in practice.
Mo Hua steadied his spirit, clearing away stray thoughts, as his eyes grew keen and piercing, his form resembling a sheathed divine blade brimming with lethal potential.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua lifted his hands skyward.
The arrays for Gold Cutting, Mountain Opening, Gui Water, and Li Fire converged fiercely between his palms.
A strand of Tai Xu Sword Intent joined the mix as well.
Since it drew on only a portion of Sword Dao, the Godslaying Sword took shape swiftly.
Once the Godslaying Sword solidified, its sword intent blazed with ferocity, ready to lash out.
Mo Hua's gaze intensified, beaming with brilliance and edge.
His two fingers pressed to his forehead.
A thread of Spiritual Power linked to the Sea of Consciousness, slowly "directing" the telekinetic energy inside.
Mo Hua clearly perceived the divide between the tangible and the ethereal.
With eyes as the exit and Spiritual Power as the director, Mo Hua's Sword of Divine Thought started piercing the veil separating reality from illusion.
Mo Hua immersed himself in the process.
Carefully observing the interplay and shifts of Spiritual Power and Telekinesis throughout.
While steadily charting the route, aim, and focus for unleashing his Godslaying Sword, grasping the interplay of virtual and real in Sword Dao.
