Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2226 Chapter 1035: Ominous Sign (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
He possessed no control over additional affairs.
However, regarding the Sword Discussion Conference, Mo Hua's commands held absolute authority, as he radiated the presence of the 'Junior Sect Leader' from the Three Mountains.
Every elder lent their support.
The disciples placed full faith in their junior brother.
Mo Hua's planning for the Shura Battle remained unfinished, yet the core concept had taken shape.
Furthermore, certain preparations from the Tian character Sword Discussion were reusable directly.
Mo Hua launched into rigorous preparations.
Forging unique armor, Taoist robes, and spiritual artifacts.
Collecting formations from the Three Mountains to address gaps in his formation expertise.
In particular, certain uncommon and esoteric formations offering unique abilities required addition.
The heritage of the Three Mountains was pooled, granting access to vital legacies for the sword discussion disciples to boost their fighting strength.
Dispensing select scarce resources for Tao cultivation.
Collaborating with Linghu Xiao to delve into the elite sword art of Mount Chongxu—the Chongxu Sword True Technique.
Analyzing the attribute shifts in this sword technique, drawing from the Sword Qi fundamentals, examining the Water-Moon variant attributes, and comparing them to the Five Elements principles, while tackling the issue of Sword Qi enhancement...
Such tasks did not fall entirely on Mo Hua alone.
The whole of Taixu Gate moved forward in an organized fashion.
The immense Tao cultivation resources and legacies housed in the Three Mountains Taoist Repository were fully leveraged by Mo Hua via causal
computations and careful strategy.
...
Right now, Taixu Gate was not the only one involved.
All sects joining the Sword Discussion prepared thoroughly for the impending Shura Battle.
Numerous sects devised strategies aimed at Taixu Gate.
Some sought vengeance, others aimed to remove threats, a few desired to seize territory from Taixu Gate, and others merely stirred trouble amid the chaos...
Moreover, the majority of Heavenly Pride Disciples honed their edges toward Mo Hua.
Their bond with Mo Hua was straightforward and unadulterated, rooted in pure 'enmity'.
Regardless of circumstances, Mo Hua had to perish!
A charged and deadly vibe spread across the Qianxue State Boundary.
Time slipped by gradually...
Without notice, seven days passed swiftly.
The climactic clash of the Di character Sword Discussion, the Shura Battle, at last commenced...
This clash held immense importance.
It marked the Di character confrontation.
Victory would allow progression; a complete loss would end hopes for the Tian character Sword Discussion.
Taixu Gate.
Prior to the conflict, the Three Mountains Sect Leader personally farewelled the sword discussion disciples.
The Taixu Sect Master offered words such as 'do not fear defeat, give it your all' and 'win or lose, you remain our sect's glory' to motivate the
disciples.
Then, the group departed for the sword discussion.
Yet just before leaving, the Taia Sect Leader quietly inquired of Mo Hua when unobserved:
'Can we retain the top spot among the Eight Great Gates?'
Mo Hua appeared rather fatigued.
Over these days, he performed endless calculations, his divine sense often approaching depletion before he restored it via meditation, cycling repeatedly.
Although Mo Hua's divine sense was robust, he suffered minor divine thought depletion, leaving his complexion slightly ashen.
Nevertheless, his eyes stayed sharp and vivid.
From the psychological pressure and profound reflection, he projected a sense of composure
and reliability.
'I'll do my utmost...'
Mo Hua replied to the Taia Sect Leader with a subtle smile.
The Taia Sect Leader let out a gentle breath of ease.
Evidently, Mo Hua was merely at Foundation Establishment and a mere disciple, yet he
possessed an oddly comforting presence.
His statements, along with that subtle smile, oddly provided reassurance.
'Excellent.'
The Taia Sect Leader gave a nod.
This was his sole expectation.
To exert full effort in securing the leading rank of the Eight Great Gates...
Amid such stormy conditions, preserving that status would equate to offering incense fervently and gaining forebears' favor... The moment arrived, and Taixu Gate's disciples set forth toward the Mount
of Tao.
Simultaneously, across the Qianxue State Boundary, every sect and their sword discussion disciples headed to the Taoist Field.
Sect disciples clad in vibrant Taoist robes formed a
brilliant and varied stream of colors, proceeding in disciplined splendor, all directing toward the Qianxue State Boundary's heart, the venerable Mount of Tao.
Mount of Tao brimmed with crowds like peaks and oceans.
The full Qianxue State Boundary saw a grand migration.
This represented the grandest, most crowded Sword Discussion ever.
Upon the Sword Observation Tower.
Esteemed visitors ascended the tower, hierarchies distinctly marked.
Nobles of the Emperor, noble houses from Taoist State, court dignitaries,
elite figures assembled.
Lofty structures rose, subtle Qi drifted, unknown potent experts
observed the fray.
Central to the upper floor stood a majestic hall.
Elevated spires, celestial design, opulent and timeless.
Now, echoes of void-tearing resounded rhythmically in the hall.
Aged silhouettes stepped from the emptiness, taking seats successively.
Should an informed viewer spot these elders, shock and alarm would ensue, as they were all Heaven Void Ancestors.
Such ancestral viewers were exceedingly uncommon.
In prior years, not even the Tian character Sword Battle finals always drew Heaven Void Ancestors to the Sword Observation Tower in person.
This marked the initial occasion for such a multitude of Heaven Void Ancestors to convene in the Sword Observation Tower.
From the Four Great Sects: Shen Family Old Ancestor of Qian Taoist Sect, Xiaoo Family Elder of Heavenly Sword Sect, Ao Family Elder of Longding Sect, Duanmu Elder of Wanxiao Sect.
From the Eight Great Gates: Elder Master Xun of Taixu Gate, Elder Ouyang of Taia Mountain, Linghu Ancestor of Mount Chongxu, plus Sever Gold Sect, Gui Water Sect, Lingxiao Sect, Vajra Sect, Purple Mist Sect... and numerous other
sect elders. Lower down, representatives from Twelve Streams sect elders.
