Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2305 - 1060: Monster (2)

With not enough hands available, they must reduce the array's grade and simplify its pattern, employing a Second-grade Array to complete the framework of the Quasi-Third Grade Grand Array.

Likewise, at this stage, the "resources" required for the Blood Sacrifice Array have undoubtedly dwindled.

The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation demands enormous slaughter.

Only through such vast killing can they gather vast quantities of human skin, bones, flesh, and blood... serving as the Formation materials for this wicked array.

Yet now, the Evil God's claws are held back by Qianxue's united forces, preventing further massacres of Cultivators.

This leaves them utterly unable to obtain more "resources" for the Evil Formation.

Even the cleverest woman can't cook a meal without rice.

Faced with this shortage of Evil Path resources, Mr. Tu resorts to Righteous Dao array methods as a temporary "bridge" to keep the Formation Pivot functioning.

Reducing the grade and mixing patterns leads to shaky structures. Merging righteous and evil powers, along with Spiritual Power and Evil Power, will cause fierce clashes.

Still, this at least allows the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation to be "finished" ahead of schedule.

Finish it first, then refine it, then perfect it later.

Without completion, all else is mere fantasy.

Mr. Tu proves himself a seasoned, vastly learned old Formation Master with solid, pragmatic judgment.

Mo Hua gave a slight nod.

Were it him in this spot, he'd likely conclude the same.

Outwardly, though, he kept up his puzzled act, posing some "stupid" questions to Mr. Tu:

"Isn't this supposed to be a Third Grade Grand Array? What's the point of me drawing a Second-grade Array?"

"Can Righteous Dao formations mix with Evil Path ones? What happens if they don't mesh?"

"On such a massive base, why just these few Formation Masters drawing? Where are the rest? Did they get killed off?"

These queries weave in some core grand array concepts, which it's normal for Mo Hua to miss, so Mr. Tu explained them patiently one after another.

They also slip in a few "gut-punching" remarks, which Mr. Tu simply ignored.

Once done, Mr. Tu passed a Jade Slip to Mo Hua.

This Jade Slip held the main foundational layout of the Blood Sacrifice Array, but Mr. Tu had wiped out much of the Evil Formation parts, swapping them with Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formations—precisely for Mo Hua to draw.

"Draw these formations on the cliff right in front of you; that's your job," Mr. Tu directed.

Mo Hua took a quick look, his expression turning sour at once, and he questioned Mr. Tu:

"Didn't you say I'd help build the grand array? Drawing these simple ones—isn't that just sticking me with 'menial labor'?"

I, the great Qianxue Array Dao Leader, reduced to your grunt work?

Mo Hua voiced his discontent.

Mr. Tu replied: "No small steps, no journey of a thousand miles; no tiny streams, no mighty river. The grand array builds from these basic formations. To master grand arrays, start at the fundamentals—don't bite off more than you can chew and neglect the roots."

Mo Hua nodded grudgingly, admitting it sounded reasonable.

But right as he prepared to dive in, something struck him, and he said warily:

"Hold on, drawing these would make me side with evil demons. If the Sect Elders or those upright folks learn of it, I'll get kicked out of the Sect for sure, and no chance to join Taixu Gate as a disciple..."

Mr. Tu countered: "You're not drawing an Evil Formation—it's Righteous Dao stuff. How could that get you expelled?"

Mo Hua pressed: "But you're Demon Cultivators. Me drawing for you—doesn't that make me aiding the wicked?"

Mr. Tu clarified slowly: "You're not 'helping' us draw; you're being forced. To stay alive, you have no option but to draw a few formations."

"You're under coercion—it's not your fault."

Mr. Tu stressed once more.

Mo Hua blinked in surprise, "Really?"

Mr. Tu nodded firmly, "Really."

Mo Hua finally eased his concerns, but just as he geared up to start, doubt crept back, and he eyed Mr. Tu suspiciously:

"After I finish the drawings, won't you just betray me and end my life?"

Mr. Tu seethed inwardly, damning this brat's endless paranoia.

Yet for now, he could only coax gently:

"Don't worry—your background is unique, invaluable to the Divine Lord. I won't harm you. Do a good job on these formations, and it'll count as major service; the Divine Lord will note your contributions and reward you properly..."

Only after Mr. Tu's persuasion did Mo Hua finally agree to draw formations for him.

Mo Hua at last started his task, but after merely two brush strokes, he halted once more, shaking his head.

"Still not right."

Mr. Tu had reached his limit by then, snapping in anger, "What is it now?"

Mo Hua indicated the white bone hoop atop his head, appearing somewhat wronged and helpless, "Your seal on my Divine Sense prevents me from painting formations..."

Mr. Tu went rigid, suddenly recalling that this youth's Sea of Consciousness had been sealed by a Great Wilderness sacred treasure.

With a sealed Sea of Consciousness, communication with deities was impossible, Divine Sense restricted, making it naturally impossible to paint formations.

But... to release the seal...

A wave of unease stirred in Mr. Tu's heart.

However, after a moment's hesitation, he chose the greater good, placing the grand array first; he reached out with his ashen finger, pressed Mo Hua's forehead, and a thread of blood essence flowed into the White Bone Tooth Talisman, freeing Mo Hua from the seal.

At that moment, clarity surged through his mind—a brilliant spark ignited in Mo Hua's lucid eyes before slowly dimming, reverting to emptiness.

Mr. Tu experienced a faint pang in his heart, yet after careful inspection revealed no oddities in Mo Hua, he questioned:

"Is it okay now?"

Mo Hua nodded, "No problem."

"Start painting formations."

"Alright."

Mo Hua took up the brush, soaked it in Spiritual Ink, consulted the Formation Diagram Jade Slip from Mr. Tu, and steadily commenced painting formations onto the cliff.

Thanks to his array mastery, he instantly grasped these grand array's base formations with one look, needing no extra words from Mr. Tu.
