A powerful "death omen" chills the experts as Mr. Tu inspects the Blood Sacrifice Array, sensing something is wrong. He suspects Mo Hua, the only variable in the plan, but finds no flaws in the formation Mo Hua drew. Despite his doubts, Mr. Tu realizes the formation is a deception, recalling his own words about discerning reality from illusion.

"The puzzle formation's riddle is 'false', the answer is 'true'. Only by seeing through appearances can one grasp the essence of the Formation."

In that moment, it was as if a sudden thunderclap erupted by his ear, Mr. Tu's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart chilled.

"This brat... used the Formation I taught him to deceive me?!"

No... not just that...

Mr. Tu frowned again, examined Mo Hua's Formation carefully, and only then did he suddenly realize that what Mo Hua did was far more complex than he had imagined.

What is called a Mystery Formation, the riddle is false, the answer is true.

Yet between truth and falsehood, reality is hard to discern.

What Mo Hua did was to preserve the riddle's facade as 'false', but according to his own idea, altered the 'true' answer, thus painting other Formations on the surface while the puzzle formation's Pattern remained unchanged.

He altered the puzzle, the riddle remains the same, but the answer is vastly different.

Mr. Tu's cheeks twitched, finding it hard to believe.

Mo Hua being able to do this means his proficiency in these ancient "Mystery Formations" far surpasses his own as a Fourth-grade Formation Master.

Not only can he see through reality and falsehood, but he can also alter reality and define falsehood independently.

This brat... he's playing the pig to eat the tiger!

Right from the start, he was deceiving me!

Mr. Tu was so angry his eyes turned red, his heart ached.

But it's still not over...

At this point, all he knows is the means Mo Hua used to lay out the "Mystery Formation" and where Mo Hua hid the exam questions.

The next question is, what exactly are the exam questions he hid?

Mr. Tu dipped his finger in blood, drew a blood Pattern, isolating one of Mo Hua's Mystery Formations, and then with Evil Power, urged the Formations' Patterns.

An obscure light began to shine.

The Mystery Formation Patterns underwent a mysterious change, like a blooming epiphyllum, the riddle was revealed, exposing a Pattern hidden by Mo Hua.

The Pattern was obscure and ancient, with a hint of destructive charm.

Mr. Tu glanced at it and felt his heart still.

Reversed Spirit!

Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation!

At that instant, he felt the urge to shred Mo Hua, the "Instructor" of this exam question, into a thousand pieces.

Who in their right mind, which Formation Master, would lay out such an absurd thing as a Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation?

And place it at the core of a Large Formation on top of that?!

Mr. Tu's hand was trembling.

Meanwhile, he instantly understood a shocking truth:

Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, Second Grade Twenty Patterns!

Mo Hua, this brat, being able to lay a Reversed Spirit Formation indicates his Divine Sense has already reached Twenty Patterns.

Foundation Building Cultivation, Divine Thought Twenty Patterns Core Formation, breaking through the taboos of the Great Dao, crossing an entire Realm.

Mo Hua's mind, the person himself, is truly an extraordinary phenomenon!

But Mr. Tu already had no time to be shocked.

Time was slipping away, Mo Hua, this extraordinary "Instructor", had given him an extraordinary exam question and imprinted this exam question onto the core of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

If he doesn't solve this problem, all his efforts up to now will count for nothing.

A thousand years of painstaking effort, gone in a day.

Mr. Tu suppressed the killing intent in his heart, began to think about how to solve the problem Mo Hua left him.

First, the Reversed Spirit Formation was intact, meaning it hadn't been triggered.

Surely, Mo Hua also didn't want himself to be blown to pieces, so all the Reversed Spirit Formations were used by him as "answers", hidden under the "riddle".

As long as the Reversed Spirit Formation wasn't triggered, no collapse would occur.

But Mr. Tu knew, Mo Hua drawing these Reversed Spirit Formations, was definitely not for fun.

He must have left some method to "ignite", using the Reversed Spirit Formation to dismantle the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

For a Second Grade Reversed Spirit Formation, logically, it shouldn't dismantle a Quasi-Third Grade Blood Sacrifice Formation.

But dismantling the core of the Blood Sacrifice Formation was more than enough.

And once the core was destroyed, the Formation eye's energy supply would be cut off, the entire Blood Sacrifice Formation would temporarily be rendered useless.

At which point the forces of Qianxue rush in, with the Blood Sacrifice Formation's cover gone, all Demon Cultivators would find it hard to evade death.

That was probably Mo Hua's cunning scheme.

He wants to "destroy the formation and silence the witnesses."

The pressing inquiry remained: what specific technique had Mo Hua devised to activate the Reversed Spirit Formation?

Mr. Tu considered a direct assault on the Reversed Spirit Formation Pattern, yet he recoiled, paralyzed by apprehension.

Such an action would be comparable to "destroying a test paper before answering."

If these Reversed Spirit Formations were designed with a "destructive" trigger, their immediate, explosive reversal upon damage would seal any possibility of undoing the mistake.

So, the alternative was to simply abandon the situation and depart?

With the Blood Sacrifice Formation functioning flawlessly, would inaction prevent the Reversed Spirit Formation from activating?

Mr. Tu's brow furrowed; this notion struck him as absurdly optimistic.

This was no ordinary formation; it was a Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, intricately carved into the very core of the grand formation. How could he possibly afford to overlook it?

Furthermore, Mo Hua's cunning was undoubtedly more profound than a simple trap.

This "examination question" must surely possess additional, hidden stipulations...

A sudden recollection of an intuitive "tick-tock" sound prompted Mr. Tu to unleash his Divine Sense. He strained to decipher the enigma Mo Hua had laid forth and, amidst the Mystery Formation node, finally detected a puzzle Pattern distinctly divergent from all others.

Mr. Tu meticulously severed this peculiar puzzle Pattern, effectively unraveling the riddle. What materialized before him was, astonishingly, a Formation shaped like a "Sundial," inscribed with the twelve heavenly stem hours.

Mr. Tu was taken aback.

"A Sundial Formation!"

This particular type of timing formation was exceedingly rare.

Typically, Formation Masters seldom dedicated themselves to studying such esoteric arts.

However, Mo Hua was an anomaly; he held the esteemed position of Qianxue Array Dao Leader and was a recognized genius within Taixu Gate's foundational formation studies.

Consequently, Mr. Tu found himself unsurprised by Mo Hua's proficiency in any formation he chose to learn.

If he could master a Second Grade Twenty Patterns Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, it was hardly astonishing that he would also be adept at the less common, time-sensitive Sundial Formation.
