Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2328 Chapter 1067: Ambition (Part 3)

"The crafting of the Blood Sacrifice Formation's eye, the alignment of its pivot, and its very construction must remain absolutely secret from all outsiders."

"And the sole individual privy to the method of its creation is he whom all heretical demons revere as 'Mr. Tu'."

"This Mr. Tu, I had meticulously tracked with the Heavenly Mechanism Lock, and suppressed with the might of the Seven Stars Formation, ensuring he could not forge the Blood Sacrifice Formation."

"Yet now... a new figure has appeared, aiding Mr. Tu in inscribing this "rebellious" Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation."

True Man Situ's visage was etched with deep lines, his expression solemn, and his tone carried immense gravity. "The profound secrets of the Blood Sacrifice are not knowledge readily acquired by just anyone."

"Within its depths lie ancient formations, the sorcery of the Great Wilderness, rites of blood sacrifice, and the very taboos of the Divine Way... Those capable of grasping such esoteric knowledge are, much like Mr. Tu, endowed with extraordinary divine sense, exceptional talent, and a cunning intellect. They are, in essence, superior heretical demons – 'evil embryos' poised to become Great Demons that could shatter the Heavenly Dao."

"This newfound individual represents a significant 'hidden danger'."

"What is even more perplexing is..."

True Man Situ's brow furrowed. "I once attempted to harness the power of the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, to draw upon the celestial energy of the Mystic Sky stars, and obliterate this 'accomplice to tyranny' directly from the heavens. However, I was unsuccessful... his heavenly secret remained elusive..."

"Either this person is bound by immense causality, or they possess a supreme treasure capable of evading causality and all killing intent."

"I have journeyed from afar, and am thus unaware of the recent developments within the Qianxue State Boundary. I never anticipated such a figure emerging in close proximity to Mr. Tu..."

True Man Situ turned his gaze to the assembled elders of Heaven Void, inquiring:

"Does any among you know the identity of this individual?"

A moment of profound silence descended upon the hall, so deep one could almost hear a pin drop.

Many of the Heaven Void ancestors harbored their own suspicions.

But such delicate matters were not easily spoken of.

Everyone's gaze silently shifted towards Elder Master Xun, who sat nearby.

Elder Master Xun, eyes closed, maintained an appearance of serene stillness.

"We shall address this matter later..." A distinguished figure from the Mount of Tao, a personage of Heaven Void renowned for his profound virtue and ethereal bearing, interjected:

"Our immediate priority must be to devise a method to contain the Blood Sacrifice Formation, thereby averting a catastrophe within the Qianxue State Boundary."

He glanced upwards at the blood-hued sky, emitting a sigh, and declared with a deep voice, "We... underestimated these fiends."

"The ambition underpinning this Blood Sacrifice Formation is far too grand..."

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of all the Lords present grew perceptibly more serious.

When the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation was first activated, while they acknowledged its troublesome nature, they did not feel undue alarm.

After all, it was merely a quasi-Third Grade grand formation; the notion of it weakening the foundations of a Fifth-grade Qianxue seemed as distant as a dream.

Indeed, many veteran Heaven Void elders, having dedicated themselves to cultivation for countless years, had developed a certain detachment, becoming largely indifferent to the concept of a "blood sacrifice."

A blood sacrifice, in their eyes, simply equated to more deaths.

Ultimately, the ones destined to perish were the unseen loose cultivators and the low-grade cultivators dwelling in the vicinity of Qianxue.

As long as none of their own kin or sect disciples met their end, their primary concern was merely to uphold Qianxue's reputation and placate the Taoist Court, compelling them to exert significant effort against these heretical demons.

However, as the situation evolved and the Blood Sacrifice Formation's influence expanded, those among them who specialized in heavenly secrets and formations began to realize that this Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation was far more intricate than initially presumed, and Mr. Tu's ambitions far surpassed their prior estimations...

Furthermore, the matter now involved the potential resurrection of the "Evil God," a being previously relegated to the realm of ancient Taoist texts.

The majority of the Heaven Void elders remained skeptical.

Yet, True Man Situ, the Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, was gripped by an unshakeable dread.

Taking a deep, steadying breath, his heart thrumming with apprehension, True Man Situ addressed the assembly:

"The Evil God represents the true terror lurking within the intricate web of heavenly causality..."

"While the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice may not definitively herald such a fear upon the world, we must nevertheless remain vigilant against it."

"The Blood Sacrifice Formation must be contained, or even eradicated, at all costs."

"We cannot permit this Blood Sacrifice Formation to reach its culmination, thereby granting even the slightest possibility for the emergence of an Evil God."

"I will devise a method to employ the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, through the Blood Sacrifice Formation, to pinpoint Mr. Tu's location. The moment his divine sense inadvertently reveals itself, exposing his whereabouts, the Seven Stars shall descend like judgment and annihilate him. Even if he manages to survive this onslaught, he would undoubtedly be severely wounded." "However, the profound intricacies of the Seven Stars Formation are beyond the scope of my solitary power to fully grasp. I implore all of you to lend your esteemed assistance to this old man."

The assembled ancestors of the Heaven Void Sect offered their unanimous assent:

"Of course, we shall."

From within the multitude, Elder Master Xun cautiously opened his eyes. His gaze drifted towards the ominous blood-red formation stretching across the horizon, a deep frown creasing his brow.

His primary concern, naturally, was the matter of the Evil God.

The impending doom that threatened the Qianxue State Boundary, and indeed, the future destiny of the

Taixu Gate, weighed heavily on his mind.

Yet, what occupied his thoughts even more persistently was that particular child, Mo Hua.

His apprehension extended beyond mere concern; it verged on a palpable fear.

"This child fraternizes with the wicked and the monstrous; now... to what has he transformed?

What precisely is he engaged in?"

Elder Master Xun's frown deepened with each passing moment.

In the desolate depths of the Blood and Flesh Maze, within the confines of the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Mo Hua remained unchanged, still diligently “employed†by Mr. Tu. Previously, his “duties†involved sketching rudimentary formations, tasks considered mere “chores.â€

But his role had evolved significantly; he was now meticulously inscribing the central formation pivot of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation for Mr. Tu, utilizing the arcane Great Wilderness Bone Carving Skill.

To a certain degree, he had effectively “taken over†a portion of Mr. Tu’s responsibilities.

If he continued on this trajectory, it would not be long before he could ostensibly step into Mr. Tu’s shoes, becoming “Mr. Tu†himself, orchestrating the resurrection of the Great Wilderness Evil God.

Naturally, this ambitious endeavor hinged upon his ability to maintain his cultivation realm.

Regardless of the external chaos or the bloody turmoil unfolding, Mo Hua’s focus remained steadfastly fixed upon the intricate details of the formations.

He continued his assiduous work, drawing the Blood Sacrifice Formation for Mr. Tu. The precise location he occupied was at the apex of the formation eye, the very heart of the pivot.

The entirety of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation lay spread out beneath his feet.

His vantage point granted him an exceptionally expansive view, allowing him to survey virtually the entire elaborate design of the formation.

Everything Mr. Tu had intended for him to learn, Mo Hua absorbed it all.

Conversely, any knowledge Mr. Tu desperately wished to keep hidden from Mo Hua, he acquired every last bit; nothing escaped his notice.

As a diligent “employee,†it was naturally imperative to cultivate a mindset of “secretly acquiring knowledge.â€

Without this clandestine learning, progress would be impossible, rendering any hope of reversing his situation and seizing ultimate control a futile dream.

Even Mr. Tu himself remained oblivious to the hidden knowledge Mo Hua was accumulating.

As Mo Hua delved deeper, drew more extensively, and observed with greater clarity, the complete operational rhythm of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation gradually unfolded in his mind.

What had once been incomprehensible at Yanluo Mountain, due to his limited perspective, was now suddenly illuminated in its entirety.

As Mo Hua etched his designs onto the colossal bones of the ancient beast, he abruptly halted, his pupils constricting violently. He then drew a sharp, deep breath.

Understanding dawned upon him.

He finally grasped Mr. Tu’s ultimate objective.

He understood why Mr. Tu dared to initiate the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation right under the noses of so many Heaven Void elders, influential families, formidable sects, and the esteemed Fifth Grade Taoist Court, all gathered within the Qianxue State Boundary...

Mo Hua, his brow furrowed in contemplation, meticulously reassembled the entire formation pivot of the Blood Sacrifice Formation in his mental landscape.

Employing these pivots as interconnected nodes, he visualized their correspondence with the various geographical state boundaries within the Qianxue region in the physical world.

"Luan Mountain City, Mistwater City, stretching along the Mistwater River, Bishan City, situated north of Solitary Mountain City, and to the south of Qingzhou City lies Yishan City..."

"All these Second and Third Grade cities are equipped with altars. These altars function as individual focal points, intricately linked by subterranean conduits of blood, thereby establishing a containment field that completely encloses the Fifth Grade Qianxue State Boundary."

"A grand formation of quasi-Third Grade caliber would be insufficient to pose a threat to a Fifth Grade state boundary on its own."

"Therefore, by constructing a Blood Sacrifice Formation utilizing the “parallel†pivots present in Second and Third Grade state boundaries, and leveraging the inherent restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Dao Laws, compounded by the daunting power of the Evil God, the Fifth Grade state boundary would be utterly sealed off, subjected to a gradual process of corruption and insidious erosion..." "Ultimately, resulting in its complete and utter devouring!"

The concept of subduing a higher tier with a lower one, of vanquishing a superior realm with inferior means, sent a jolt through Mo Hua.

This unprecedented conceptualization of a macroscopic formation, an idea he had never before encountered or even conceived, was now indelibly imprinted upon his Sea of Consciousness.
