Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2150 Chapter 1012: A Visitor

Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...

The Longding Sect's Peeping Mirror and Revealing Dust fail to expose Mo Hua, leaving their five disciples to clash fiercely with Linghu Xiao's group of four in the Sword Discussion arena. Mo Hua conceals himself in the woods, emerging to unleash harassing spells like fireballs and water prisons before vanishing again, tangling two enemies and disrupting the Longding formation while supporting his allies. Frustrated by his elusive tactics, the Longding disciples shift to target Linghu Xiao, but Mo Hua's relentless low-level Five Elements skills and the Taixu Gate team's sharpened prowess—honed from prior battles—gradually force Longding into retreat, as they realize the assassination match is rigged against them by Mo Hua's unbreakable invisibility.

Deep into the night.

Once again, the Daoist Law Elders from numerous sects convened.

The grand hall remained unchanged.

The Elders stayed the same.

Upon the shadow-capturing screen, Mo Hua appeared once more.

Yet this round's contest differed entirely.

The "targets" varied as well.

Displayed on the shadow-capturing screen was Mo Hua, hidden within a modest thicket, playfully taunting five Longding Sect disciples.

Each of the five Longding Sect members clutched a Peeping Mirror.

Yet the mirrors reflected utter emptiness.

The five exchanged baffled glances, resembling five utter "fools"...

"Shi Tiangang was falsely blamed; it's not that he's all muscle and no mind, failing to pierce the hiding; instead, this young Mo Hua's Concealment Technique is truly peculiar..."

"The Peeping Mirror's failure to uncover anything... suggests this concealment spell operates on principles unlike standard lineages."

"So, is it Light Invisibility, Spirit Concealment, Visual Concealment, Five-colored Concealment, Five Elements Concealment, or Eight Trigrams Concealment Technique?"

"This... from such a distance via the shadow-capturing screen, it's tough to tell..."

"One must be present on-site, feeling the aura or probing with Divine Sense, to separate reality from illusion..."

"Mount of Tao boasts a fifth-grade large formation that blocks all outside Spiritual Power intrusions and Divine Sense intrusions, rendering our remote analysis impossible..."

That fifth-grade large formation sealed off the exterior world completely.

Such isolation from the large formation safeguarded Sect Disciples, enabling them to deploy sect Cultivation Techniques, elite Daoist Magic, and certain obscure lineages in the sword discussion without malicious, adept cultivators swiping them via Divine Sense scans, Law Calculations, causal backtracking, or other sneaky tactics.

After all, the Qianxue Debate brimmed with exceptional prodigies. Their knowledge stemmed from premier Daoist Repositories.

Should anyone pilfer it via "sensing," "backtracking," or "calculation," it would spark endless chaos.

Thus, these Daoist Law Elders were momentarily stumped on the intricacies of Mo Hua's Concealment Technique.

"Does Taixu Gate possess some exclusive concealment lineage?"

"From what I know, they do not..."

"Then his Concealment Technique must stem from some origin, correct?"

"In the entire Qianxue State Boundary, exists a sect focused on concealment?"

"Some existed in the past, but most faded away; nowadays, no sect dedicates itself purely to such Concealment Techniques—it's far too niche..."

"So the current approach is testing various shadow-breaking spiritual artifacts?"

With advancements in Cultivation World techniques, artifact forging has branched into specialties.

Spiritual Artifacts come in diverse varieties.

Shadow-breaking Spiritual Artifacts split into numerous categories, tailored to varying concealment principles and approaches.

Some shatter Spirit Concealment, others disrupt Water Concealment, some pierce Color Concealment, and more break Light Concealment... and the like.

Rare, specialized, and obscure Concealment Techniques rarely pass down, prove difficult to master, and boast scant practitioners, often evading notice.

Hence, the Cultivation World favors "universal" shadow-breaking spiritual artifacts broadly.

For instance, the Peeping Mirror wielded by Longding Sect disciples falls into this universal category, and it's of superior grade no less.

Typically, even against uncommon Concealment Techniques, the Longding Sect disciples' Peeping Mirror should detect something; total blankness is unheard of.

But Mo Hua stands apart.

His Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill, refined over countless years and bolstered by vast hiding insights, had achieved seamlessness. Particularly now, with his Divine Thought advancing to Core Formation, the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill evolved dramatically, edging toward flawless mastery.

Thus, without a pinpoint, high-tier shadow-breaking spiritual artifact aimed at the Five Elements, his hiding remains impenetrable.

"But testing them sequentially..." an Elder scowled, "How much time would that consume?"

"Send a five-man team, each bearing a distinct shadow-breaking spiritual artifact type, let each illuminate him once— it won't require many cycles before the truth emerges...

"What if he skips the concealment?"

"This lad is sharp; if he detects trouble, he'll definitely 'hold back his abilities' and might avoid using his concealment further..."

"If he shows himself openly, what's the point of illuminating him?"

"Then devise strategies, launch a coordinated assault, compel him to hide, and subsequently employ spiritual artifacts to unravel his concealment..."

"Is all this trouble worthwhile, just to counter one disciple—no, merely a single spell from a disciple?"

"With such strategies and artifact choices, if they clash with his natural counters, victory slips away."

"I've stated already, it's not about claiming victory, but identifying the lineage of this boy's Concealment Technique."

"So you're suggesting... we strategically forfeit a few bouts in the Mystical Character Sword Discussion, handing points to Taixu Gate?"

"No other choice."

"But this is the Mystical Character Sword Discussion, with matches dwindling each round—squandering them like this?"

"No wolf without baiting the cub."

"The issue is, which cub to bait, which wolf to snag?"

"Who faces Taixu Gate in the upcoming sword discussion rounds?"

"Xuanqi Sect, Sever Gold Sect, and Lingxiao Sect..."

"Xuanqi Sect and Sever Gold Sect pose no great threat, but Lingxiao Sect—that's a tough nut...

"Nothing too tough; dangle extra incentives, though every sect will need to pay a price..."

The assembly of Elders fell quiet, clearly wavering.

"You lot may not grasp the gravity yet...

The leading Elder grew grave, "Underestimate this Concealment Technique at your peril; it could prove more vexing than imagined...

"This singular hiding method, combined with his exceptional Divine Sense and impeccable Five Elements Spell command, renders him 'invincible' in certain scenarios."

"Particularly in beheading duels, it's virtually unbeatable."

"Fail to breach his concealment, and defeat is certain."

"Without an early counter, should it reach the Earth Character Round or even the Heaven Character Round, catastrophe looms."

"Victories in the Earth Character and Heaven Character Rounds hold immense value."
