Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2095 Chapter 994: Sword Aimed at the Four Clans (Part 3)

This kid Mo Hua is simply sketching out a grand vision for his fellow sect members...

The Taixu Sect Master shook his head.

Yet, as he gazed at the woodland and those youthful, eager expressions, the Taixu Sect Master's heart stirred with emotion.

No matter what happens at this Sword Discussion Conference.

All these disciples could turn into the foundational seeds for Taixu Gate.

Someday ahead, dispersed throughout the Nine States, they would expand into a thriving grove.

He glanced toward Mo Hua.

Mo Hua positioned himself beneath the massive tree.

His slim silhouette was partially hidden by the overhanging boughs and foliage, yet his presence subtly intertwined with the grand old tree rising behind him.

In a fleeting trance, Mo Hua resembled that colossal tree reaching for the skies, enveloping the entire woods and providing shelter across all of Taixu Mountain.

"Tree..."

The Taixu Sect Master's eyes narrowed sharply.

Memories flooded back of that night when darkness glowed like midday, the Divine Tree standing tall like countless blooming trees that concealed Taixu's landscapes, replaying vividly in his thoughts.

Shock seized the Taixu Sect Master's heart as he stared at Mo Hua in utter disbelief.

After observing for some moments, he massaged his brow and whispered:

"Lately, I've been overthinking everything, constantly drifting into wild fantasies, what's going on with me..."

Mo Hua had only lingered under the large tree briefly, so how could it connect to the Divine Tree spectacle from that fateful night...

The Taixu Sect Master shook his head.

Amid the woods, Mo Hua surveyed the enthusiastic gathering, nodded in approval, and at last announced:

"I've set up the strategies, just do as I instruct."

"In the Qian Learning State Boundary, countless Heavenly Pride Disciples abound, so it's not about shining exceptionally, gaining sudden renown, charging ahead, or securing triumph."

"Our goal is to give it our all. Winning even a single bout counts as success."

"As long as you claim one victory, no matter how minor, it builds the foundation for Taixu Gate's greater success."

"The more victories we rack up, the closer Taixu Gate gets to joining the Four Great Sects."

"This matters for you and for the Sect alike!"

"Starting now, we gear up, and in three months, we head to the Mount of Tao, striving for a spot among the Four Great Sects!"

Once Mo Hua wrapped up his words, the assembly erupted in excitement.

The Taixu Gate juniors, their gazes blazing with passion and battle fervor, roared: "Understood, Junior Brother!"

Hundreds of voices rang out with unbridled energy, hearts pounding, resounding through the trees.

The watching elders, their faces frozen in astonishment, could hardly believe it.

Mo Hua's influence over the disciples, combined with this kind of motivational force, made these Taixu Gate elders feel somewhat outmatched.

The Taixu Sect Master's feelings surged as he observed Mo Hua, his gaze filled with deep reflection.

...

Following that, Mo Hua dove into intensive preparations.

Fine speeches are easy for anyone, but execution is the real challenge.

The first matter was assembling the teams.

The Sword Discussion Conference uses a five-person format, without any reserves. If a team falls short or loses a member, it becomes a four-against-five matchup.

This serves as a harsh reminder to the disciples.

The cutthroat world of Tao Cultivation holds no true "fairness," and no one pauses for you to get set.

Failing to field a full team means defeat in the Sword Discussion is well-earned.

With five-on-five battles, pairing teammates becomes crucial.

In past team formations, aside from elite disciples, most followed a "voluntary and self-formed" approach.

Those at similar Cultivation levels with close bonds grouped together.

This setup had its advantages and drawbacks.

The upside was stronger synergy, but the downside lay in mismatched Cultivation paths, limiting overall battle prowess.

Mo Hua went ahead and reshuffled the team assignments for the majority of disciples.

He considered their power levels, along with bonds among them.

Above all, he aimed for pairings that complemented each other, yielding surprising results in fights, enhanced by fitting Formations and Spiritual Artifacts, creating power beyond mere addition...

Certain disciples grasped these concepts, yet couldn't implement them on their own.

Some clung too tightly to friendships, unwilling to part from close companions;

Others struggled with interpersonal relations, unable to recruit suitable partners;

Some even lacked clarity on their own strengths, unsure of ideal teammates.

Their Cultivation had always been solitary, without broad teamwork.

Thus, this kind of sect-wide team reorganization demanded external guidance they couldn't provide.

Even Taixu Gate's elders couldn't handle it properly.

As elders, a divide separated them from disciples, leaving gaps in genuine insight into most of them.

Without that insight, effective team pairings proved impossible.

Imposed matches often led to imbalances or disciple discontent.

Their time and focus were stretched thin, mostly directed at Heavenly Pride Disciples.

Therefore, this full-scale disciple reorganization and coordination fell solely to Mo Hua.

As the Junior Brother, he shared daily life and Cultivation with peers, knowing them intimately, and held both authority and immense respect.

Earlier, when disciples hunted monsters, they followed his devised tactics.

For completing bounties, numerous plans originated from him too.

All these prior efforts by Mo Hua gradually built the groundwork for Taixu Gate's Sword Discussion performance.

His team assignments for disciples also drew from practical combat experience, weighing various factors.

Primarily, a frontline defender was essential, wielding a shield as a Magic Treasure or practicing Earth Series Body Cultivation for resilience, drawing enemy attacks.

Next, one or two frontline attackers were needed. Sword Cultivators or Body Cultivators fit, offering balanced assault and protection, excelling in rushes and strikes.

Then, a Spiritual Cultivator or Sword Cultivator focused on Sword Qi was required, handling long-distance Taoist Skills for devastating blows.

Lastly, a support cultivator rounded it out.

This member should possess unique skills, like scouting, ambushes, or control spells, and so on.

That formed a solid team.

Versatile in attack and defense, advance or withdraw, ready for most scenarios.

Naturally, this applied to teams of capable average disciples.

For those unskilled in combat, with weak Cultivation, limited connections, or no standout talents, they could only mix in and hope for fortune.

Mo Hua also formed some unconventional teams.

Such as the "Fast Runner" squad.

Five experts in movement techniques; if outmatched, they flee, if even, they hold, and luck might snag a win.

Or the "Immovable" group.

All sturdy-skinned Body Cultivators without other skills, designed to outlast opponents through endurance.

Mo Hua further created "Chopper" teams.

The Tai'a, Chongxu, and Taixu Sects all emphasize Sword Cultivation.

Across the entire Qian Learning State Boundary, most disciples pursue Sword Cultivation too.

That's why the Qianxue Skill Competition bears the name "Sword Discussion" Conference.

However, this surplus of Sword Cultivators causes overlaps, making balanced teams tricky.

Many such Sword Cultivators resembled Cheng Mo in their "brashness."

Beyond Sword Cultivation, they lacked specialties, hard to slot in, reluctant to strategize, purely impulsive.

Tactics held little value for them.

Elaborate plans overwhelmed them in execution.

Mo Hua simply clustered them into "Chopper" teams and advised:

"In the Sword Discussion, keep it simple. Treat win or loss casually, spot an enemy and charge, whatever you hit is what counts..."

These words were blunt and direct, straightforward to follow, and ignited high spirits.

The band of impulsive Sword Cultivators cheered:

"Junior Brother is brilliant!"

He also assembled quirky teams banking on "unexpectedness," where one win equaled triumph.

Securing even a single match meant success.

With teams largely settled, Mo Hua tweaked them despite disciple preferences, verified no big problems, then launched official training.

Just then, the Taixu Sect Master arrived with a haughty youth and presented him to Mo Hua:

"Mo Hua, this is the one I told you about earlier, this session's Heavenly Pride Disciple from the Tai'a Mountain lineage, Ouyang Xuan."
