Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2213 Chapter 1031: Shock (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
What technique are you employing to control the sword?
What principles of sword dao are you adhering to?
In what manner does the spiritual power flow?
How is the sword qi channeled?
Why does the sword manage to detonate?
All were utterly baffled.
Throughout their lives, none had witnessed such a bizarre approach to sword control.
Why?
How could Mo Hua, evidently lacking any knowledge of swordsmanship, manipulate a flying sword to swiftly overcome the sword-controlling prodigy from Daluo Sect?
From where originate his accomplishments in sword dao?
Was it mere chance and lucky speculation?
Or does this Mo Hua possess an extraordinary genius in sword dao, surpassing even the talents of Daluo Sect?
Has he grasped a mysterious, earth-shattering sword art?
Amid this astonishment and overwhelming feelings, many Daoist Law Elders carefully examined and scrutinized the scene of Mo Hua wielding the sword, ensuring no minor aspect escaped their notice.
Ultimately, they grasped the truth and vented their fury:
"That's no sword control at all!"
"It isn't sword control in the slightest!"
"This doesn't qualify as swordsmanship!"
"When cultivators command swords, they merge their essence with the blade, synchronizing their intentions to treat it as a natural part of themselves, thereby unleashing the full might of sword control."
"Sword control represents an elevated form of swordsmanship, demanding insight into sword dao, refinement of sword qi, harmony between person and blade, fusion of spirit and will..."
"Mo Hua lacks every bit of sword dao essence."
"No surprise there—he's no sword cultivator. He's simply employing 'divine sense manipulation' on the sword."
"You see it as sword control, but he's just swinging the sword around like a mere 'stick'."
The group felt genuine rage boiling within.
"What nonsense..."
"A disgrace to sword dao, a crime that can't be pardoned!"
"We nearly fell for this kid's ruse once more. I believed he was a genuine sword dao genius capable of mastering sword control on the spot..."
"It was only another ploy after all..."
"These cunning schemes are everywhere."
"Did he come up with this on his own?"
"What else? No legitimate sword cultivator would destroy their spirit sword in such a manner."
"A genuine 'deviant'."
Yet, a few held contrasting views:
"Truth be told, this isn't straightforward. It nearly mimics a potent sword-controlling technique."
One Sword Dao Elder scoffed, "It only seems that way on the surface. The fundamentals are quite 'crude', form without substance, nowhere near the depths of true sword control."
"But the 'orthodox' sword-controlling prodigy from Daluo Sect fell to his one
sword strike."
The Sword Dao Elder fell silent, "That's due to... Ye Zhiyuan being merely at Foundation Establishment. Upon reaching Golden Core, things would differ..."
Another chimed in: "Yes, during Foundation Establishment, sword control's might isn't fully shown. But at Golden Core, the authentic power of proper sword control emerges."
"When true sword control unleashes its force, Mo Hua's 'unorthodox' version stands no chance."
"Precisely.
"So, we've pieced it together..."
A senior elder concluded:
"Mo Hua's sword control is fake; he knows neither swordsmanship nor real sword control. At its core, he's using his superior divine sense for 'divine
sense manipulation'."
"Roughly so..."
"I remain unclear on the source of his sword control's strength. He lacks swordsmanship, sword techniques, sword qi, sword intent, and his spirit sword is of inferior make..."
"The spirit sword detonates."
"Can a mere blast cause such devastation?"
"It's beyond that..."
An elder from a sword-cultivating noble clan, versed in sword arrays,
explained:
"Mo Hua inscribed a sword array inside the sword."
"This array incorporates a personalized formation that generates sword qi straight from spirit stones."
"And there's additional depth..."
"Mo Hua's spirit sword is specially crafted."
"These swords use low-grade materials, making them brittle and prone to bursting. When sword qi overloads them, the flying fragments from the blade itself deliver significant harm!"
"Pairing a self-destructing sword array with a fracturing spirit sword forms the real strength of this 'sword control'."
The elders were stunned by this revelation.
"In the end, this remains a Formation Master's tactic, not the way of a sword cultivator?"
"It's sword-like in appearance, but fundamentally rooted in formations."
"The sword serves merely as a carrier for a 'self-destructive' sword array designed for
'self-explosion'."
This idea struck as odd but effective.
Some traditional elders, deeply devoted to swords as if they were their very souls, denounced Mo Hua for ruining his spirit sword, viewing it as squandering and profaning sword dao.
Nevertheless, the majority of elders harbored inner astonishment.
In the domain of formations, Mo Hua indeed shows a 'brilliant ingenuity' that transcends the norm, as though bestowed by heavenly forces.
The moniker of Qianxue Array Dao Leader fits him perfectly... Certain elders quietly began to appreciate such prodigious skill.
Naturally, regardless of their regrets over nurturing talent, they had to proceed with necessary actions.
One elder sighed in resignation:
"Investigate and devise a countermeasure..."
These phrases had echoed endlessly in recent days, leaving them desensitized...
Within the grand hall, the sect's elders toiled over Mo Hua's 'sword control', forsaking sleep around the clock.
At the same time, the Tumo Order buzzed with equal 'activity'.
"What exactly is this Taixu Gate?"
"Precisely." "They've merely overtaken Daluo Sect to claim leadership among the
Eight Great Gates."
"Mo Hua, nothing but a glory-hunter, can't even handle a sword properly, yet dares to debate sword arts?"
"Mo Hua truly can't wield a sword, but he can 'manipulate' it, and with a single
strike, he slew... who was that again?"
"That guy from Daluo Sect?"
"I believe his family name was Ye? Ye Zhiyuan..."
