Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2202 Chapter 1028: Tumo Treasure Book (3)

Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Taixu Gate's disciples, including Mo Hua's team, fought fiercely to hold their ranking among the Eight Great Gates, with Mo Hua securing victories in two Earth Rank sword discussions against Lingxiao Sect and Qian Taoist Sect through adaptive formations. Despite these wins, Mo Hua sensed his formation tactics were being anticipated, suspecting involvement from formation elders crafting countermeasures. Two days later, Song Jian delivered the 'Rules for Mo Hua' jade slip to him, a guideline circulated among rival sects detailing insidious tactics, spells, movements, formations, and mind strategies to counter his approaches.

"Guard against every one of his plots..." Hold on.

Mo Hua felt deeply displeased.

Biases in the minds of people truly resemble towering peaks.

It's truly absurd that a person as honest as myself gets labeled as "cunning"...

Thankfully, the "Schemes Section" contains only brief content, indicating it's merely a fringe view, a prejudice unworthy of attention.

Mo Hua proceeded to scan the rest.

The "Magic Techniques Section" proved quite thorough, cataloging all the basic Five Elements spells Mo Hua had employed during the Sword Discussion Conference up to now.

It even included certain rare and specialized incantations that Mo Hua had used offhandedly once and then overlooked, all recorded in this "guidebook."

Each incantation came with notes on how to defend against it.

As these were lesser spells, they required little emphasis; most received just a single line of description.

The truly notable ones were the Fireball Technique and the Water Prison Technique.

In particular, the Fireball Technique stood out.

The passages brimmed with alerts: "Watch for the Fireball Technique!", "Stay alert to the Fireball Technique's decisive strike!", "Prefer death over disgrace, keep that in mind!"

After the Water Prison Technique came a rundown of its warnings and the runes, spiritual artifacts, and spell weaknesses that could overcome it.

Along with remarks such as, "The Water Prison Technique is revolting" "Endure ten Earth Prison Techniques rather than a single Water Prison Technique."

Though it remains unknown who authored these phrases.

Mo Hua could faintly detect the "grinding of teeth" in resentment and agony woven through the text.

Next came the Concealment Techniques, detailed with numerous advisories.

Encompassing the source of his Concealment Technique, varieties of hiding, ways to pierce the hide, pursuit tactics, and optimal moments to deploy spiritual artifacts...

In the meantime, one entry observed:

"Stay cautious of Mo Hua employing obvious concealment to trick you, or you'll end up as a 'complete idiot,' take note."

Mo Hua felt baffled.

Complete idiot? Which person?

Following the "Magic Techniques Section" appeared the "Movement Techniques Section."

This portion seemed far more "expert."

An individual had analyzed and deconstructed Mo Hua's movement skills, every step, and inscribed them into the jade slip.

Dissecting them step by step.

It even highlighted certain weaknesses in the movement skills.

These probably came from reviewing shadow recordings, carefully studied and illustrated.

Each motion and gesture in the skills received such intense examination, as though even the skin pores had been inspected.

Their vision must have strained to the brink.

Mo Hua let out a sigh, yet remained unalarmed.

For movement techniques represent a core strength.

Should his patterns become known and his vulnerabilities exposed, if their movements lack speed, lack finesse, lack refinement, they still couldn't seize him.

Furthermore, the robust base of Mo Hua's Water Passing Step stems from precise and detailed divine sense mastery.

Simply decoding some "steps" holds little significance.

Therefore, this "Movement Techniques Section," despite its apparent depth, amounts to mere "theoretical chatter," nothing to dread.

Yet the most voluminous "Formation Techniques Section" poses a real challenge.

Mo Hua skimmed a couple of lines and immediately knitted his brows.

As expected, this targeted his array usages, drawing from real sword exchanges to mimic fights and craft opposing plans. Until now, his deployment of advanced formations in combat had stayed restricted.

Certain approaches he had concealed.

In theory, there ought not to be abundant data for reference.

However, this is the Qian Learning State Boundary, brimming with sects, not just talented youths but also countless elders boasting vast cultivation wisdom.

Within them, surely many formation-savvy elders exist.

Mo Hua's array applications provide scant material.

Thus, these elders drew upon their expertise and insights to model and infer.

Outlining contest guidelines, specifying landscapes, selecting rivals, then leveraging their profound array knowledge and second-grade formation principles, along with Mo Hua's array patterns, they "recreated" the sword discussion battle scenes.

This recreation encompasses countless variations.

To begin with, Mo Hua possesses knowledge of too many formation varieties.

Additionally, varying rules, varying environments, varying foes, will spawn diverse combat progressions, with formations applied in manifold ways. During a particular sword discussion, which formation Mo Hua might deploy, its placement, and the telltale indicators.

Ways to remain vigilant, to sense, to probe arrays, to exploit... and more.

The details inside are overwhelmingly intricate.

Moreover, the Sword Discussion Conference proceeds at a frantic pace.

Hence, such broad modeling and inference cannot be achieved by a handful of array elders within limited time.

It must involve a sizable team of elders, laboring around the clock, draining vast amounts of divine sense, investing immense toil, cataloging diverse combat scenarios, and devising responses to distill all key points into:

The "Guidelines for Mo Hua Formation Techniques Section."

Mo Hua felt genuine admiration.

These array elders truly possess great prowess.

Simultaneously, he found himself at a loss for words.

These array elders truly seem idle...

As formation elders from diverse sects in the Qian Learning State Boundary, is it truly needed to focus so intensely on a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself?

Isn't their divine sense valuable?

Even should divine sense prove abundant, they ought to mind their hair...

Divine sense recovers after exhaustion.

But lost hair might never regrow.

The body, flesh, and bones are gifts from one's parents, aligned with the Heavenly Dao.

For cultivators too, hair doesn't sprout on demand; else, baldness would vanish from the world...

Mo Hua ached inwardly and couldn't suppress a sigh.

The observing fellow disciples, beholding this crammed, lucid guidebook brimming with untold labor, also experienced profound astonishment deep within.
