Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2329 Chapter 1068: The Earth Veins' Lament
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
But… is this method truly achievable?
Mo Hua knitted his brows, mentally charting the ensuing "consequence" derived from the established "cause"...
Once the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation is fully activated, all adjacent second and third-grade state boundaries will be linked, constructing a formidable barrier of flesh and blood, utterly encircling the fifth-grade Qianxue State Boundary.
This constitutes a gruesome and impenetrable "lockdown."
The Blood Sacrifice Array is inherently malevolent.
And within its confines, a multitude of Demon Path sects' Demon Heads are congregating. Furthermore, various Walking Corpses, Iron Corpses, Copper Corpses, Blood Slaves, Sword Slaves, and Lust Slaves, meticulously cultivated by the Demon Path, surge like an overwhelming tide.
Further still, within the very veins of blood sustaining this scheme lies an unending legion of demonic monsters.
Augmented by the grand formation's might, this represents an exceptionally potent Demon Path force.
The cultivators positioned outside will find it exceedingly difficult to breach the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation and infiltrate the Qianxue State Boundary.
Conversely, cultivators within the Qianxue State Boundary will be equally incapable of escaping.
Any cultivator below the Golden Core stage, upon entering the Blood Sacrifice Formation and being enveloped by Demon Heads, Demon Cultivators, a variety of Demon Path thralls, and the monstrous demonic armies, will face certain demise.
A significant restriction imposed by the Heavenly Dao exists within second and third-grade state boundaries.
Even those who have achieved Feather Transformation, should they be unable to fully unleash their cultivation and thus unable to fly, could still meet their end if surrounded by the relentless onslaught of demon monsters.
Cultivators at the Heaven Void stage possess immense power; they might even comprehend Laws and potentially shatter the encirclement.
However, this hinges on the critical condition that the Great Wilderness Evil God remains dormant.
Should the Great Wilderness Evil God awaken, and its corrupting influence spread, this Blood Sacrifice Array would transform into an absolutely "forbidden" territory.
Even cultivators at the Heaven Void level might hesitate to traverse such a perilous Blood Sacrifice Array.
To be tainted, parasitized, or reduced to a mere puppet or plaything of the Evil God would yield consequences truly beyond comprehension.
The Heaven Void realm is hobbled by the Evil God's power.
The Feather Transformation stage risks annihilation with even the slightest misstep.
For those below Golden Core, any hope of survival is utterly extinguished.
The vast expanse of the Qianxue State Boundary will devolve into stagnant water, destined for gradual absorption by the forces of the Evil God.
And the ramifications extend even further…
Mo Hua's pupils contracted sharply.
The Qianxue Sword Discussion Conference stands as a momentous occasion throughout the Nine States.
At this very juncture, a vast assembly of cultivators from diverse regions of the Nine States Cultivation World has congregated within the Qianxue State Boundary.
Their numbers far exceed previous gatherings, comprising the elite cultivators from various state boundaries.
If the Qianxue State Boundary were to fall, these individuals would either be coerced into becoming Demon Cultivators, minions of the Evil God, Walking Corpses, or Blood Slaves.
Alternatively, they would face immediate demise, their very essence—blood, skin, and flesh—reduced to raw materials for the Demon Path's Artifact Refining and Formation inscription.
The potency of the Demon Path would consequently experience an explosive surge.
Furthermore, Mo Hua had not overlooked the presence of an entire Spirit Mountain, belonging to the Mount Qianlong spiritual mine, situated in close proximity to the fifth-grade Qianxue State Boundary.
This constitutes a substantial fifth-grade Spirit Mountain, responsible for yielding immense quantities of Spirit Stones, thereby supporting the cultivation endeavors and operational requirements of numerous sects within Qianxue.
Upon Qianxue's subjugation, this Mount Qianlong spiritual mine would inevitably fall under the Evil God's dominion.
Spirit Stones represent the most crucial resource for Tao cultivation.
The accomplishment of significant feats necessitates an ocean of Spirit Stones.
Not to mention, from the perspective of large formation sustenance alone.
Should the Mount Qianlong spiritual mine become corrupted, these countless Spirit Stones would transmute into an unending supply of Evil Power, ceaselessly feeding the formation core of the Blood Sacrifice.
Consequently, the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation would receive an inexhaustible infusion of power, enabling its indefinite operation.
With a confluence of Spirit Stones, resources, personnel, and territory.
The Evil God's awakening, the proliferation of blood sacrifices, and the perpetual functioning of the formation.
The entirety of the fifth-grade Qianxue State Boundary would be transformed into a self-sustaining, deeply entrenched, and exceedingly formidable Demon Path "stronghold," virtually impervious to eradication.
Subsequently, leveraging the Qianxue State Boundary as a base, a relentless expansion outward would commence, disseminating the Evil God's influence through progressive contamination and encroachment, potentially leading to the gradual downfall of the entire Qian State, step by agonizing step…
The more Mo Hua contemplated these implications, the more palpable his dread became.
This Mr. Tu, who had meticulously plotted for a millennium, his scheme was truly terrifying in its scope. His arrangements for the formation were undeniably magnificent to an unparalleled degree, even if the execution path was fraught with variables and considerable challenges.
According to his carefully laid plans, a Quasi-Third Grade Blood Sacrifice Array could indeed refine a Fifth-grade Qianxue State Boundary, transforming the entire prosperous land into an Asura Purgatory. This would erect an Evil God Dojo, unleashing catastrophe upon all living beings and resulting in countless casualties...
"Can the ancestors of the Qianxue State Boundary foresee this?"
Mo Hua knitted his brows in contemplation, attempting to view the situation from the perspective of the "ancestors" within various aristocratic families and Sects. He suspected they likely could not.
The matter was shrouded in mystery, its subtle intricacies making it difficult even for Heaven Void to fully perceive, at least not until it was upon them.
Furthermore, Qianxue had experienced an extended period of peace.
The Demon Path had remained dormant for far too long.
The Evil God had long been relegated to collective amnesia.
With the Qianxue State Boundary flourishing, filled with joyous celebrations and opulent feasts, the thoughts of its aristocratic families and Sects were preoccupied with the Sword Discussion Conference, the pursuit of fame and profit, and the ceashtaking of worldly interests. In such a climate, they were bound to compete, their focus on immediate gains blinding them to the more perilous underlying causality.
This perfectly embodied the adage:
"Its rise is intense, and its demise sudden.
Prosperity dismantles in moments, life and death descend in an instant."
As Mo Hua pondered this, he followed Mr. Tu's "instructions," continuing to carve the Formation Pivot of the Blood Sacrifice Array using the Great Wilderness Bone Carving Skill. Despite his deep contemplation, no clear path forward emerged.
After drawing formations for a while, his Divine Sense depleted, Mo Hua lay down upon a massive skeleton to rest and reflect. The current predicament was more dire than he had initially anticipated. It wasn't just the present "cause" that was alarming, but the even more terrifying subsequent "effect."
He harbored no desire to witness the Qianxue State Boundary engulfed in disaster.
As a disciple of Taixu Gate within the Qianxue State Boundary, he had cultivated in this land for nine years.
He knew many people here, and he had received considerable kindness and support from them.
