Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2315 Chapter 1063: Mystery Valley (Part 3)

A chill crept into Mo Hua's heart.

"Could this be... Mr. Tu's doing?"

The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice ought to represent the forbidden inheritance of the Great Wilderness Witch.

Legacies of the Great Wilderness Formation are held by the witches.

As a witch from the Desolate Royal Family, this Mr. Tu surely possesses deep expertise in formations.

Perhaps the Great Wilderness Evil God prized this talent, selecting Mr. Tu as his most trusted servant?

Thus enabling Mr. Tu to seamlessly blend the Great Wilderness's Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice with reality's Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, implementing it to resurrect the Master of the Great Wilderness?

"Years of scheming, countless people entangled, immense toil..." Mo Hua inwardly sighed.

All of a sudden, his heart jolted, prompting the thought: "Might I employ this formation?"

Employing the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice was impossible for him, as it's an Evil Formation demanding numerous deaths, offering up vast amounts of flesh and divine souls.

Yet what if he avoided sacrificing "human lives"?

By applying the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice's core principle to offer other sacrifices, providing power to the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, and within that Mysterious Heaven Great Formation...

Seal the body as a god?

Mo Hua knitted his brows.

These four words abruptly surfaced in his Sea of Consciousness. But... does "seal the body as a god" even exist in the Cultivation World? And what follows such a sealing?

Mo Hua felt somewhat baffled.

Regrettably, Mr. Tu's Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation relies on Evil Power, preventing Mo Hua from testing it himself; else, he could supplant the Master of the Great Wilderness, turning into a savage "Evil God."

Or maybe not supplant the Master of the Great Wilderness entirely, but fuse inseparably with him.

Actions so rash ought not to be tried lightly.

Mo Hua pondered deeply.

Yet even without venturing to test it, the full intricate system crafted for the Evil God's revival demanded mastery.

One must scrutinize the laws governing the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation.

The Formation Pivot of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice required study as well.

Besides, as a Formation Master, Mo Hua found the temptation of this "Large Formation" irresistible.

"To know oneself and the enemy," to counter the Evil God, demanded comprehension of these elements.

Furthermore, this formation system could prove valuable down the line.

Mo Hua yearned to be a Formation Master grasping all between heaven and earth, following a single creed for formations:

"Every formation met must be mastered; it may go unused, but never unknown."

Mo Hua gave a nod, then poured all his focus into grasping the Formation Pivot of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice that Mr. Tu had bestowed upon him...

In the meantime, the grand formation continued operating, Righteous and Demonic clashed fiercely; chaos reigned, destiny hung in balance.

Outside the Qian Learning State Boundary.

A carriage rolled steadily along the Great Dao, drawing near from the distance.

Within the carriage sat six or seven individuals.

Heading them was a wan-faced elder clad in mystic robes, adept at divination, his hair entirely silver.

This was none other than Mystery Valley's Chief Elder, the Feather Transformation Realm's True Man Situ.

True Man Situ now sat with grave composure, eyes shut in repose.

The carriage's other occupants were Mystery Valley disciples: some youthful and vibrant-faced, others middle-aged, some bearing stern gazes, some sporting partially gray hair, most exuding serene poise with eyes aglow with

divine light.

Silence enveloped the carriage, filled with a subtle fragrance, no words exchanged.

Soon, soft murmurs pierced the heavy quiet within the carriage, from a somewhat youthful disciple:

"Won't there be issues with us heading to the Qian Learning State Boundary?"

A companion nearby hushed him: "Shh, don't interrupt the Chief Elder's

meditation."

The youth murmured back, "Oh."

A half-gray-haired cultivator opened his eyes and calmly assured: "With the Chief Elder present, no worries needed."

Only then did the youth relax slightly, though unease lingered in his face: "I heard... an Evil Path Great Formation exists there, plus many Heaven

Void Ancestors, yet they can't..."

"Specialties vary by skill; high cultivation alone doesn't resolve everything," an elder cultivator remarked.

"The Chief Elder will decide wisely, of course."

"Hmm." The youth nodded.

The strained air within the carriage relaxed slightly.

Yet, as the carriage pressed onward to the Qian Learning State Boundary, the crimson sky deepened, while dense Evil Qi shrouded the sun completely.

The earth stretched scarlet for miles, a barren wasteland, dotted with sporadic rotting

limbs strewn across the soil.

Upon beholding the scenery around them, the cultivators inside the carriage paled, aware that their fate hung in uncertainty, hearts pounding fiercely.

True Man Situ, who had remained with eyes shut and steady as a peak throughout the journey, now gradually parted his eyelids, gazed upon the ominous sky, and let out a quiet sigh.

The carriage kept advancing, venturing deeper into the blood-soaked terrain.

Before everyone's eyes, the grand and terrifying Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation loomed closer, its immense array still spreading outward, "engulfing" all within the Qian Learning State Boundary, tainting every trace of life in the nearby areas.

All faces bore heavy solemnity.

They had earlier deduced that the catastrophe in Qianxue was gravely dire; else, numerous Heaven Void Ancestors would not have united in a plea for Mystery Valley's Chief Elder to step in.

However, facing the crimson array directly now, they grasped that the crisis

exceeded their worst fears...

Nevertheless, Mystery Valley's members refused to withdraw.

As the carriage's wheels crushed a chunk of White Bone, passing over the

hidden blood river flowing through the earth's veins.

True Man Situ inside the carriage abruptly sensed a stab of dread.

It was as though he had plunged into midwinter's heart, an icy torrent rising

from deep within his chest.

"Stop the carriage," True Man Situ commanded.

The carriage halted, and True Man Situ scanned the group, then calmly directed, "Give all the Heavenly Treasure to me."

Though puzzled by his order, the others obeyed the Chief Elder without question, surrendering their jade boxes, compasses, Eight Diagrams Mirrors, and similar items to True Man Situ.

True Man Situ took each in turn, descended from the carriage by himself, then faced them again with grave emphasis, "Return to Mystery Valley immediately, do not hesitate, and never glance behind!"

"Chief Elder!" The group cried out in alarm.

True Man Situ shook his head, "No need to say more."

The young disciple of Mystery Valley hastily declared, "Chief Elder, I will go

with you."

A flicker of warmth showed in True Man Situ's elderly gaze, yet he softly replied, "Go back, the heavenly secret cannot be reversed."

Every face drained of color, eyes brimming with anguish.

Yet as Mystery Valley folk, trained in the Way of Cause and

Effect since youth, they comprehended True Man Situ's intent and the weight of his declaration.

Mystery Valley's members disembarked step by step from the carriage, dropped to their knees, and offered True Man Situ three profound bows.

Afterward, they remounted the carriage, hearts aching with reluctance, departing on the return path, abandoning the Qian Learning State Boundary. True Man Situ remained rooted, observing his Mystery Valley elite disciples fade into the horizon, breaking a dire karmic link, before exhaling a profound breath of relief.

Unencumbered now, True Man Situ pivoted, striding solo into the Qian Learning State Boundary, toward the scarlet formation eclipsing the

sky.

Within his profound gaze lingered a spark of reluctance, mingled with resigned inevitability:

"Old man's 'death calamity' has arrived..."
