Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2327 Chapter 1067: Ambition (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
"Yes."
"Since you possess the ability to manifest formations directly onto the ground, you should grasp this concept with ease..." Mr. Tu began, speaking deliberately:
"Standard formation mediums are commonplace, making the inscription of formations upon them a straightforward task;"
"However, certain intricate formations necessitate specialized mediums. Attempting to etch formation patterns onto these unique materials proves considerably more challenging."
Mo Hua offered a slight nod upon hearing this explanation.
To manifest formations directly onto the ground, utilizing 'earth' as the medium, requires a profound connection with the Earth Dao Meaning, a skill not easily acquired. Mr. Tu then gazed at the colossal skeleton before them and continued:
"This Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation operates on the same principle. Without mastering the specific secret techniques of the Great Wilderness Witch, your formation patterns will fail to adhere to this ancient beast's skeleton."
"Within the Great Wilderness inheritance system, this ancient beast skeleton transcends mere 'formation medium'; it is intrinsically part of the formation itself, integrated seamlessly with the formation core, the crucial pivot points, and the entirety of the inscribed patterns."
"Should you mistakenly perceive it as a simple 'medium,' a 'lifeless object,' then the formations you inscribe will prove futile, incapable of unleashing the potent power of the Blood Sacrifice Formation."
Mo Hua knitted his brows, inquiring, "Then, how am I to proceed with the inscription?"
Mr. Tu paused in silence for a moment before articulating slowly, "This is precisely what I will impart to you next: the Great Wilderness Bone Carving Technique."
"Great Wilderness Bone Carving?" Mo Hua expressed his surprise.
"It is a specialized technique originating from the Great Wilderness Witch, designed to etch formations directly onto bone, thereby allowing the formations to achieve perfect unity with the skeletal structure."
Mr. Tu fixed his gaze upon Mo Hua, remarking coldly, "I will offer no superfluous explanations, nor is there a need for you to pose further inquiries. Simply commit the method to memory and inscribe the formation with diligence."
The prospect of acquiring new knowledge was indeed welcome, and Mo Hua refrained from asking additional questions, offering a simple nod of agreement.
Mr. Tu then advanced, traversing the bleached bone spine to ascend the immense skeleton of the ancient beast, articulating as he moved:
"This Great Wilderness Bone Carving Technique eschews the conventional formation pen in favor of a 'knife pen.' It leverages the inherent sharpness of the blade to carve formation patterns into the pristine bone, achieving a fusion of the formation patterns and the bone itself, an inseparable blend of inscription and medium, pattern and osseous structure."
"During the inscription process, you must utilize the ancient beast's own blood, engrave upon the ancient beast's bone, connect with the ancient beast's soul, and employ your own divine sense as the medium; only by harmoniously merging these three elements can a formation be successfully completed."
"Furthermore, numerous taboos must be observed..."
Mr. Tu continued his ascent and discourse, imparting the entirety of the "Great Wilderness Bone Carving Technique" to Mo Hua. Subsequently, he presented Mo Hua with an archaic knife pen and a vial of crimson blood ink, gesturing towards an unadorned section of the bone, and stated:
"Attempt it now."
Mo Hua comprehended Mr. Tu's objective. Following the instructions meticulously, he attuned himself to the beast's soul, guided the knife pen with his divine sense, mingled the beast's blood, and executed the initial stroke.
A formation pattern, rendered in scarlet, was etched onto the bone.
An eerie wind stirred, and the blood seamlessly permeated the bone, becoming one with it.
Mr. Tu turned his gaze towards Mo Hua, his expression grave, his pupils constricting like needles, betraying his utter astonishment.
Mo Hua looked up at Mr. Tu and queried, "Is this the correct execution?"
Mr. Tu slowly nodded, affirming, "Indeed."
Suppressing a cascade of emotions, he added, "Continue inscribing as I instructed; the greater your speed, the more favorable the outcome."
Mo Hua responded with a nod, "Understood."
He then commenced, from the designated area Mr. Tu had indicated, wielding the knife pen, applying the beast's blood, attuning to the beast's soul, and meticulously carving, stroke by stroke, the crucial pivot point of the blood sacrifice formation.
Initially, his movements were deliberate, the inscription steady, each stroke carefully considered, proceeding slowly yet with unwavering precision, committing no errors.
The second stroke maintained a measured pace, yet it was marginally quicker than the first.
The third stroke surpassed the second in speed.
Then followed the fourth stroke...
Each subsequent stroke accelerated, his proficiency visibly increasing.
Within the span of merely a few dozen strokes, he transitioned from a complete novice to a seasoned practitioner, his demeanor tranquil and assured, his movements fluid and effortless.
Mr. Tu drew a deep breath, a palpable tremor coursing through his being.
The Great Wilderness Bone Carving Technique was a discipline understood by very few.
The control of the blood sacrifice formation pivot was, traditionally, a singular undertaking entrusted solely to him.
Yet, here stood this young man, who had evidently just learned, just grasped, and just begun to inscribe,
demonstrating a visual mastery that evolved at an astonishing rate...
"Whatever he is shown, he can master."
"Whatever he learns, he can apply instantaneously..."
"Such extraordinary talent, what exactly is this... entity?"
Mr. Tu finally bestowed upon Mo Hua a prolonged and penetrating gaze, his eyes flickering with a mixture of intense jealousy and apprehension.
A fleeting moment before descending into tranquility.
Beneath this calm, a murderous intent lay hidden.
Mo Hua appeared oblivious, completely absorbed in employing the "Great Wilderness Bone Carving Technique." He meticulously inscribed the formation, his focus absolute, losing all awareness of his surroundings.
Mr. Tu's form dissolved into a crimson mist, gradually dissipating until he vanished entirely.
Squatting atop the ancient beast's skeleton, Mo Hua followed Mr. Tu's guidance, concentrating on etching the Blood Sacrifice Formation. His movements became swifter and more assured with each stroke...
With Mo Hua's support, Mr. Tu finally managed to free one hand to engage with the Taoist Court's Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation.
Simultaneously, thanks to Mo Hua's crucial assistance, the central progression of the Blood Sacrifice Array began to advance once more...
Qian Learning State Boundary.
Sword Observation Tower.
Situ True Man, utilizing the Beidou Seven Stars Formation to peer down from the heavens, detect the unfolding formations, and comprehend the intricate energy flows, stated with solemn gravity:
"Indeed, someone is aiding 'Mr. Tu' in drawing the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation."
Heaven Void Ancestor knitted his brows, questioning, "It's a vast formation; surely it's not drawn by a single individual. What is so peculiar about that?"
Situ True Man shook his head, a sigh escaping him: "It is... different.
"The Blood Sacrifice Array is a ritualistic formation, intertwined with the Divine Thought Path, distinguishing it from typical formations."
"The external, malevolent components of the formation might be inscribed by lesser formation masters to simply fill its volume."
"However, the core formation eye and the formation pivot can only be controlled by a single person." "Much like how a sacrificial ritual can only have one 'chief officiant!' This sort of Blood Sacrifice Array permits only one individual to hold its deepest secrets."
