Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2334 - 1069: Enlightenment (3)

Mr. Tu was merely a ‘servant’ of the Great Wilderness Evil God.

Yet he himself had been transformed into a ‘demigod’ by the Heaven Yan Jue.

Mr. Tu might grasp the concept, but certainly not with the depth that he did.

‘But how is the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation actually employed?’

Mo Hua furrowed his brow, contemplating for a moment as a passage from Mr. Tu’s earlier words suddenly surfaced in his mind:

‘The Mystery Formation is utilized by Formation Masters to discern between what is real and what is illusory…’

‘The riddle posed by the Mystery Formation is ‘false’, while the solution lies in ‘true’. Only by seeing past the facade can one perceive the Formation’s core essence.’

‘The riddle is ‘illusory’, the solution is ‘real’, and within the gap between illusion and reality reside the profound Dao Laws that permit the transformation of illusion into reality and vice versa…’

The duality of truth and falsehood within the Mystery Formation!

Mo Hua’s expression shifted dramatically, as if a great revelation had dawned upon him, and he suddenly understood everything.

He finally grasped the method to deceive Mr. Tu!

And it was a method Mr. Tu himself had taught him!

But then…

What would come after successfully deceiving Mr. Tu?

Mo Hua’s brow furrowed once more.

Could the second-grade Reversed Spirit Formation Pattern truly trigger the detonation of the quasi-third grade Blood Sacrifice Array?

If it were merely a second-grade Large Formation, Mo Hua would have harbored some degree of confidence.

However, the current Large Formation was quasi-third grade, rendering his past experiences with ‘formation detonation’ an unreliable guide.

A second-grade Reversed Spirit Formation possessed the capability to counter only a second-grade Formation.

One could hardly expect a second-grade Reversed Spirit Formation to dismantle the Formation Pivot of a third-grade formation, thereby unleashing a potent reverse flow of spiritual power that would obliterate everything within the Large Formation.

Within the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation existed several second-grade Formation Pivots bearing ‘complementary patterns’, many of which had been meticulously drawn by Mo Hua himself.

Yet, whether the power derived from countering a second-grade Formation Pivot could sufficiently destabilize a third-grade Formation Pivot, leading to the collapse or a massive explosion of the Large Formation, remained an open question.

Such an undertaking was impossible to test or verify beforehand.

There would only be a single opportunity; failure meant no further chances from Mr. Tu.

‘What am I to do…’

Mo Hua lay still for a considerable time, lost in thought. He then shifted onto his stomach, his gaze fixed upon the colossal Formation eye and the earth veins submerged within it.

Blood continued to flow.

The earth veins still emitted mournful cries.

A sense of reluctance welled within Mo Hua’s heart, but as he observed the scene, his mind was suddenly captivated, drawn in by the profound Daoist meaning, and his thoughts began to surge.

‘Earth veins…’

‘The position of Earth, bearing all with its immense virtue, encompasses everything…’

‘Life and death, spiritual power and malevolent power… interweaving and dissolving within the earth veins…’

‘Righteousness and malevolence are, in essence, the same…’

Mo Hua felt a tremor deep within his being, and a profound, inexplicable insight, intricately woven yet distinctly separate, began to unfurl within him.

An ancient, fundamental law started to erode a part of Mo Hua’s established understanding.

The Great Dao manifests distinctly, yet harmonizes with all creations.

Amidst a torrent of thoughts, he suddenly recalled the words of Elder Zheng: ‘Righteousness and malevolence are fundamentally one; the so-called demon is not born of a womb, nor hatched from an egg, but rather transformed…’

Righteousness and malevolence as a unified whole, existing in opposition yet merging, transforming into one another.

Mo Hua’s eyes, sharp and clear, distinguished between black and white.

Elder Zheng had spoken of humanity, but also of principles, of the Dao, and since it pertained to the Dao, it was also a form of law governing the operations of formations between heaven and earth.

A dawning comprehension gradually took shape within Mo Hua’s heart.

He had conceived an initial approach.

Although the ultimate outcome was uncertain, it was an avenue worth exploring.

After all, he possessed no superior alternative.

Nevertheless, putting this concept into practice presented significant challenges.

It necessitated a much deeper comprehension of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, requiring its complete deconstruction and a more profound analysis.

Following that, he would need to expend considerable mental energy and immense divine sense for intricate calculations. Only through this rigorous process could he ascertain the true spiritual power trajectory he desired. By this trajectory, he could then instigate a shift in spiritual power, moving from imbalance to equilibrium, and finally to catastrophic destruction via ‘reversal’…

Mo Hua gave a slight nod, then directed his gaze towards the depths of the earth. The blood-colored earth veins, corrupted by the Malevolent Formation, seemed to weep, and he softly murmured:

‘All bloodshed must eventually cease; all malevolence shall also be purged…’

‘Rest assured, I shall help cleanse you…’

From the core of the earth veins, the crimson hue surged, and a faint tremble of vitality could be perceived. It was as if the very essence of the earth was acknowledging Mo Hua’s words…

...

Subsequently, Mo Hua began to feign lethargy.

When meticulously painting formations each day, Mo Hua would intentionally drag his feet, applying only a few brushstrokes before feigning exhaustion of his divine sense and taking a rest. During these breaks, he would secretly ponder the profound Dao of the earth.

Simultaneously, within the vast expanse of his Sea of Consciousness, he was diligently unraveling the complex schematics of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice formation.

This particular challenge was, admittedly, somewhat beyond Mo Hua's current capabilities.

However, he refused to make excuses for himself.

Whatever he could logically deduce, he did; for that which eluded him, he employed a combination of clever estimations and intricate derivations to 'force' an understanding.

As his calculations progressed, tasks that once seemed overwhelmingly difficult for Mo Hua gradually became remarkably clearer.

He began to perceive that many obstacles were not nearly as formidable as he had initially believed.

A slow realization dawned upon Mo Hua.

He suddenly became aware that his current divine sense had expanded to encompass twenty patterns—a true mark of a Golden Core stage cultivator's divine sense.

Initially, his mindset lagged behind, still viewing himself as being in the 'Foundation Establishment' stage, and thus, his divine sense had not been utilized to its absolute maximum potential.

Now, however, using the grand formation itself as a whetstone for his skills, Mo Hua, by pouring all his effort into tricky calculations and derivations, had finally unleashed the full potential of his Golden Core realm divine sense.

Unbeknownst to him, his mastery over formations was steadily advancing, one level at a time.

Furthermore, his proficiency in tricky calculation and derivation had also seen significant improvement through this rigorous 'sharpening' process.

The intricate vein structure of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation began to be meticulously reconstructed within Mo Hua's Sea of Consciousness, piece by piece, and Mo Hua gradually began to grasp its entirety.

After countless days dedicated to study, contemplation, and research, the culmination of his efforts was at hand, with understanding flowing freely.

Mo Hua's comprehension of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation underwent a fundamental, qualitative transformation.

While he still lacked knowledge of the specific third-grade formations involved, the overarching purpose of these formations, their structural interconnections, the precise control of the Formation Pivot, and the seamless flow of Array Power were all becoming distinct under his enlightened divine insight.

A profound sensation washed over Mo Hua; he felt as if he had become the true 'master' of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, with absolute command over every element.

Though he struggled to articulate the exact nature of this advancement, Mo Hua sensed his formation skills had ascended once more.

He had reached the level of a 'chief Formation Master'.

He now possessed the foundational framework and the necessary attainment to be recognized as the 'chief Formation Master' for the Blood Sacrifice Array.

The only limitations preventing him from actually constructing the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation were his current cultivation realm and the morally questionable methods required.

However, once he had truly mastered the blueprint and the complete vein structure of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, the subsequent steps would become entirely manageable.

It would merely require diligent utilization of his divine sense, patient deduction, and meticulous planning.

With renewed focus, Mo Hua settled down, painstakingly refining the magnificent blueprint, a formation he had never attempted before.

During this period, Mr. Tu made infrequent visits to Mo Hua.

He was under a direct threat from True Man Situ and was actively being suppressed by the formidable Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, leaving him with little time to spare.

Nevertheless, even amidst his own struggles, he couldn't help but notice Mo Hua's apparent 'slacking'.

The pace of the grand formation's construction had demonstrably slowed once more.

Initially, Mr. Tu overlooked this, but as the brilliance of the Seven Stars intensified, making him feel as if thorns were pricking his back, and with his demonic forces surging uncontrollably, he could no longer tolerate Mo Hua's leisurely approach.

"Stop playing games and finish the formation as soon as possible," Mr. Tu commanded with a cold tone.

Sensing that his 'little tricks' had been discovered, Mo Hua felt a flicker of guilt and quickly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Tu..."

Following this exchange, he ceased his complacency and began dedicating his full effort to constructing the Blood Sacrifice Array, meticulously following his own deduced Formation Diagram.

This time, heeding Mr. Tu's words, he did not hold back and worked with unprecedented speed, painting with intense focus.

Without pause, he worked through the night, fully leveraging his twenty-pattern Golden Core divine thought, his painting speed escalating rapidly, leaving Mr. Tu with little opportunity to intervene.

By the time Mr. Tu truly registered the situation, the progress on the Blood Sacrifice Array was already advancing "by leaps and bounds".

This astonishing leap in progress momentarily bewildered Mr. Tu.

It was clear that Mo Hua was now following his 'instructions,' striving to complete the Blood Sacrifice Array with utmost haste.

Evidently, with the Blood Sacrifice Array's completion, the Divine Lord's revival would be imminent.

Undeniably, Mo Hua was performing a great service for him.

The pace of construction was surprisingly swift.

Mr. Tu felt he should be overjoyed by this turn of events, yet for reasons he couldn't quite fathom, he found himself unable to feel happiness. Instead, a peculiar sense of 'panic' began to stir within his heart.

He was utterly perplexed as to what this young rogue, Mo Hua, was truly plotting.

However, no matter how he tried to analyze the situation, events were being relentlessly 'pushed' forward by Mo Hua's actions.

In the blink of an eye, it was already too late to change course.

Twelve days later.The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, meticulously crafted and finalized by Mo Hua, the esteemed "Formation Leader" of Qianxue. A primordial pulse echoed throughout every inch of the Blood Sacrifice Array. The Sovereign of the Great Wilderness was on the precipice of awakening...
