Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2110 Chapter 999: First Round 2

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument is the name of this Heavenly Secret Treasure.

It serves as the "legacy" left behind by the ancestor of Mount of Tao.

Normally, this "Heaven Instrument" remains sealed, and it demands that representatives from the Four Sects and Eight Gates Twelve Streams assemble, each clutching their sect's Jade Token, before it can be opened.

After being unlocked, the names along with the teams of disciples from different sects

who are joining the Sword Discussion get inscribed on bamboo slips and inserted

into the Heaven Instrument.

Then, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument activates on its own,

setting up the order of matches for the Sword Discussion Conference based on the traditional sword discussion guidelines.

Such an approach blocks any attempts at manipulation and guarantees true fairness and impartiality.

Additionally, it blocks out all forms of meddling, modifications, and predictions drawn from Heavenly Mechanism Causality calculations.

Guided by unbreakable laws, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument features a compass path that shifts and spins without end, complex and enigmatic.

It embodies a deep beauty rooted in the "Law of Causality."

Mo Hua's spirits lifted instantly, drawing his gaze inescapably toward the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

Regrettably, his grasp of Heavenly Secret remained too shallow, leaving him unable to make out a single detail.

Naturally, the treasures of Mount of Tao's ancestor wouldn't easily reveal their secrets to him.

After an hour passed, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument came to a halt.

The simulation had finished running.

With that, the initial phase of the Sword Discussion—designated as "Yellow" within the "Heavenly Secret Earthly profound Yellow"—stood finalized.

Elders of every sect copied down the match schedules onto Jade Slips before descending from the stage.

The morning sword ceremony and the drawing rite drew to a close.

The official Sword Discussion was set to start that afternoon.

In the upcoming four-hour break, Mount of Tao's elders would organize the match orders and arenas for the Sword Discussion, following the simulated draw list from the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

Elder Xun Zixian descended as well, heading back to the Taixu Gate disciples and announcing to the group:

"The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument has finished simulating the list."

"I've sent the list to your Taixu Tokens; check it on your own and confirm the match order is accurate."

Xun Zixian hesitated a moment before adding:

"A few hours from now, the official Sword Discussion starts. Give it everything you've got—win or lose, it's all for Taixu Gate. Bring honor to the sect...

As a Formation Master, Elder Xun Zixian stayed precise and composed, rarely indulging in emotional words.

For him to speak so much encouragement was truly notable.

The disciples felt a touch of inspiration.

Still, feelings aside, their spirits remained a bit subdued.

Xun Zixian let out a quiet sigh, his eyes shifting to Mo Hua.

A single glance conveyed Elder Zixian's meaning; Mo Hua caught on right away, gave a quick nod, and moved ahead to speak to the disciples:

"For the Sword Discussion ahead, don't complicate things. Just head up and battle. A win is a massive triumph, and a loss means nothing!"

The disciples froze for a second, then their gazes ignited with battle fervor.

Junior Brother had spelled out the strategy plain and simple—they just needed to step into the ring and clash; no other worries required.

Even if they doubted their own abilities, surely they trusted Junior Brother?

Securing even one victory would count as a stunning success, while defeat carried no disgrace.

"Yes! Junior Brother!"

The disciples responded together, their shouts ringing out strong as their enthusiasm surged skyward.

Mo Hua nodded, pleased with the result.

Xun Zixian gazed at Mo Hua, a bit taken aback, then grinned and shook his head lightly.

Afterward, a four-hour window opened for getting ready.

Disciples chose to cultivate in meditation, study the schedule, or strategize together, taking breaks when weary and swallowing a Fasting Pill if hunger struck.

As the Sword Discussion loomed near, gourmet meals held no appeal for them.

With some free moments, Mo Hua settled close by, chewing on dried meat while scanning the Sword Discussion schedule produced by the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

Upon closer inspection, he spotted certain problems.

The schedule didn't achieve complete "fairness."

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument avoided being entirely "random"; instead, it relied on

causality modeling to pick out the genuine "strong fighters."

It further aimed to guide these powerhouses toward the Sword Discussion's conclusion.

As a result, it steered clear of forcing prodigies from the Four Great Sects and Eight Great Gates into fierce clashes right in the "Yellow" opening round.

During the Yellow phase, participants from the Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, and Twelve Streams largely met opponents from the Qian Learning Hundred

Gates.

Chances of top "seed-level" talents clashing were exceedingly slim,

And should such talents meet, it changed little.

The "Yellow" round allowed plenty of leeway; dropping a couple of bouts wouldn't block progress.

Therefore, Taixu Gate faced no overwhelming odds.

Yet for typical disciples of the Qian Learning Hundred Gates, pushing forward proved

extremely tough.

This setup created its own kind of imbalance.

That said, looking at it another way, choosing the mightiest cultivators and steering away from groups that progressed by chance or sheer fortune represented a different sort

of equity grounded in "strength."

"But employing Heavenly Secret Calculation to gauge power and manipulate odds...the ancestor of Mount of Tao truly had a brilliant mind...

Mo Hua whispered to himself in his thoughts.

Mo Hua reviewed his own match order and saw it placed quite far back, with his debut bout not until two days hence. Maybe the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument foresaw his causal links, recognizing him as a "hidden master," and wisely pushed his slot to a later time...

Mo Hua pondered silently, giving a nod of approval.

Masters tend to enter the scene at the finale.

It fit perfectly.

Besides, his rivals consisted mainly of disciples from the Qian Learning Hundred

Gates, appearing to offer scant danger.

This eased all pressure.

"Spectating today, battling the day after tomorrow..."

Mo Hua pulled out every bit of jerky he had packed and devoured it all.

Once he finished eating heartily, he settled into meditation for recovery, eager to observe his Junior Brothers' displays.
