Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2107 - 998: Sect Taoist Soldiers (3)

Young Master Mo had actually succeeded in inviting the Sect Leader...

A wave of respect and appreciation swept through Master Gu for Mo Hua, leading him to personally guide Mo Hua and his group to the borders of Solitary Mountain City.

Once back at the sect, the Taixu Sect Master mulled over Mo Hua's suggestion.

The notion from Mo Hua was clearly excellent.

Yet the expenses tied to it were truly steep...

After some thought, inspiration struck him, prompting him to seek out the sect leaders from Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu, where the trio conversed at length.

Following their talk, the Taixu Sect Master called for Mo Hua:

"I discussed it with the sect leaders from Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu..."

Mo Hua's gaze sparkled as he caught on right away, "So the Three Mountains are pooling their resources for it?"

The Taixu Sect Master hesitated briefly.

This kid was sharp indeed; Mo Hua had pieced it all together from those mere hints.

"Yes, though it's not quite that straightforward," the Taixu Sect Master explained. "They insist on witnessing the outcomes before committing."

With such a massive amount of Spirit Stones at stake, caution ruled, and folks typically preferred to judge for themselves.

Mo Hua got it and nodded, replying: "I understand, Sect Leader. No need to fret."

Thus, the following day, Mo Hua set up a practice session.

During this drill, a thick throng of disciples wore fresh Taoist Robes and protective gear, gripping matching Spiritual Artifacts, performing maneuvers with precise, synchronized steps.

They already looked like genuine Taoist Soldiers.

The disciples, once a bit loose in their ways, now grouped into five-person units, piercing the woods like keen "spears," moving forward and back fluidly while striking with ferocity.

Besides that, certain specialized squads stood out.

For example, five robust body cultivators in heavy armor, hefting shields, resembled five unyielding iron peaks, their presence alone daunting.

Five disciples slipped into wind-attuned Taoist Robes, laced with step wind shoes, darting nimbly across the fields.

Likewise, five sword cultivators in slim armor, each brandishing a massive sword, slashed at anything in their path.

These Spiritual Artifacts and formations could swap seamlessly.

The armors varied from Gold Armor to Water Armor, Fire Armor...

The paired Spiritual Artifacts ranged from Gold Sword and Wood Sword to Water Sword, Fire Sword, and more.

The sect leaders of Taixu, Taia, and Chongxu watched from the viewing stand, quietly taking in the display without a word for quite some time.

The Taixu Sect Master understood the setup intimately.

Still, watching his own Taixu sect disciples equip armor, handle Spiritual Artifacts, link up in formations, and maneuver in unison left him inwardly stunned.

The Taia and Chongxu sect leaders kept composed exteriors, yet turmoil brewed within their hearts.

As leaders themselves, they grasped the immense challenge of pulling off such an arrangement.

Leaving aside the formation expertise, the artifact forging skills, and the production outlays.

To bind these haughty disciples together, turning five into a single force that heeds orders—this demanded real effort.

This setup nearly mirrored "Sect Taoist Soldiers"...

Even if these sect Taoist Soldiers were only in their early stages.

And the true power of Taoist Soldiers lay in collective might overwhelming the foe.

In the demonstration, these disciples—average in talent and skill among the sect—unleashed a wholly transformed battle prowess through their synergy.

That was the scariest part.

It meant the sect's disciple strength had shifted fundamentally from the roots upward.

For top-tier fighters, it might not rival the Four Great Sects.

But the foundational power proved rock-solid.

All three leaders sensed a subtle but fierce glimmer of possibility, an idea they couldn't shake:

Could this Sword Discussion Conference truly turn into something extraordinary?

Soon after, the Taia Sect Leader declared:

"Taia Mountain will cover the costs for these items."

"Mount Chongxu will contribute too."

The Taixu Sect Master nodded, pleased.

...On the flip side, Mo Hua also nodded with contentment.

His master had warned that a standout tree in the woods invites the storm's fury.

To thrive unseen calls for "blending into the woods."

If the woods lack the thickness to conceal, then he'd cultivate a sprawling woodland of his own.

Mo Hua looked down at the ranks of shining Golden Armor, the clash of spears and swords, as Taixu sect disciples showed off their might, his eyes alight with excitement.

...The Spirit Stones were secured, and the Spiritual Artifacts along with formation tools stood prepared.

Mo Hua had inscribed some of the advanced Formation Patterns onto the Spiritual Artifacts.

The remaining work got handled by senior brothers from the Inner Gate, plus the instructors and elders.

In a flurry of activity, preparations wrapped up smoothly.

Come tomorrow, the Sword Discussion Conference would at last begin.

Back at the Disciple’s Residence.

Mo Hua went over every detail from beginning to end, spotting no glaring flaws, which finally let him relax.

Tomorrow marked the Sword Discussion.

Taixu Gate would square off against the Four Sects and Eight Gates, Twelve Streams, and even the Qian Learning Hundred Gates in an official clash.

He could end up joining in.

A flicker of nerves hit Mo Hua, but upon reflection, he saw no cause for worry—it was merely combat, nothing more.

Winning would thrill, losing... well, no lives hung in the balance.

Mo Hua steadied his nerves and resumed his formation practice.

This formed his daily routine.

Regardless of circumstances, nothing could derail his growth in formation skills.

Whenever a moment freed up, be it for sketching just one formation or pattern, he'd seize it, delving deeply into the study of formations.

Formations offered no quick paths.

Advancement in formations stemmed from steady, unwavering repetition.

And now, with his Divine Thought Core Formation, Mo Hua tackled formations beyond the ordinary.

Be it the Thunder Magnetic Absolute Formation, the Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, or rebuilding the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Diagram using twenty-one patterns—any one would stun the masses.
