Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2401 Chapter 1092: Barbaric Wilderness Ancient Array

"Ancient Wilderness Text... how is it learned?"

Where could I possibly learn it?

Who would even guide me?

Mo Hua's brow furrowed as he pondered for a long time, yet no answer came to mind.

Perhaps Mr. Tu would know.

If Mr. Tu were still alive, and I were still under his tutelage within the Blood Sacrifice Array, perhaps during a more amicable period in our relationship, I might have been able to subtly inquire about the Ancient Wilderness Text.

However, the unfortunate reality is that Mr. Tu is no longer alive.

That avenue of possibility has been entirely extinguished.

Once more, Mo Hua pressed the Bone Scroll against his forehead, attempting to decipher its contents, but remained utterly perplexed.

A 'text' is an inherently abstract concept; if one lacks the foundational knowledge, it remains an impenetrable mystery.

Without a systematic inheritance to study, it is impossible to grasp the mindset of the ancient tribal people of the Great Wilderness when they crafted and inscribed such writings.

Furthermore, the Bone Scroll contained only cryptic ancient script, devoid of any Formation Diagrams or discernible patterns.

The whereabouts of the fabled Ancient Wilderness Formation Map remain unknown.

In this state of uncertainty, Mo Hua hesitated to act rashly, fearing that his Divine Thought might be too potent or his actions too clumsy, potentially damaging the delicate Bone Scroll.

The situation had reached an impasse.

"Perhaps I should consult Elder Master Xun?"

Mo Hua mused inwardly.

However, in the subsequent days, Elder Master Xun appeared deeply engrossed in some significant matters and was not seen.

Mo Hua, confined and unable to leave, could do little but clutch the Bone Scroll and stare vacantly.

Approximately five days later, Elder Master Xun finally visited Mo Hua. He examined Mo Hua's injuries, noted the considerable improvement in his complexion, the clarity in his eyes, and the stability of his Life Chart, nodding with mild approval.

Yet, Elder Master Xun's brow remained furrowed, his expression suggesting weariness.

Observing this, a thought sparked in Mo Hua's mind, prompting him to inquire, "Master, are you occupied with matters concerning the Blood Sacrifice Array?"

Elder Master Xun paused momentarily, not initially inclined to elaborate. However, considering Mo Hua's youth and his significant involvement in numerous critical affairs, particularly his close connection to the recent events, he decided some disclosures would be harmless.

Elder Master Xun nodded, emitting a soft sigh. "The Blood Sacrifice Array presented a grave calamity. Though the immediate peril has been averted, the losses incurred are immense, and the subsequent tasks are manifold..."

"The fallen cultivators require proper burial, and their bodies must be cremated to prevent the spread of plagues or the emergence of Corpse Transformations."

"The Taoist Court officials, members of the aristocracy, and disciples from various Sects who perished in the conflict also need to be appeased and honored."

"Furthermore, the lands contaminated by Evil Qi and Blood Qi must undergo purification."

"Mountains that have collapsed, been grotesquely deformed, or entirely annihilated require reconstruction."

"City structures and defensive pools damaged by the formations necessitate repair, and countless homeless Loose Cultivators are in need of resettlement..."

Acts of killing and destruction, while brutal, can sometimes be executed with relative ease.

However, the arduous task of rebuilding after devastation, providing shelter for the displaced, and ensuring the continuation of survival for all is a seemingly 'mundane' undertaking that proves far more intricate and challenging.

Moreover, such endeavors invariably demand a substantial expenditure of Spirit Stones.

Noticing Mo Hua's pensive expression, Elder Master Xun offered words of comfort, "You need not concern yourself with these burdens. The contributions you have already made are sufficient; your virtue is immense..."

Of course, his capacity for killing was also profoundly deep, Elder Master Xun silently acknowledged.

Elder Master Xun then continued to impart his advice to Mo Hua:

"Simply remember this: do not reveal what you have done, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."

"But will I not then be suspected?" Mo Hua inquired.

Elder Master Xun replied, "In this world, numerous powerful and enigmatic masters operate from the shadows. As long as you do not draw undue attention, the blame for peculiar occurrences will inevitably fall upon others."

It is possible that this cataclysm of the Blood Sacrifice in the Wild Heavens was subtly orchestrated by other, unseen powerful entities.

However, everyone involved was merely a pawn within the unfolding events, unable to perceive the full picture.

Elder Master Xun harbored a premonition regarding this matter.

Even Mo Hua felt a vague sense of it as well.

"Hmm," Mo Hua nodded, then a sudden thought prompted him, "Ah, speaking of which, Elder Master Xun, how did the Sword Discussion Conference conclude?"

"Did our Taixu Gate emerge victorious?"

Elder Master Xun was about to respond when his gaze shifted towards Mo Hua. He posed a question instead, "Regarding this matter... based on your original deductions, how did you foresee it unfolding?"

Mo Hua appeared taken aback. "You wish for me to recount it?"

Elder Master Xun nodded. "You speak first."

Meeting Elder Master Xun's placid gaze, Mo Hua answered, "At that juncture, when I unleashed my sword strike, several probable outcomes were generally expected."

"The first possibility was that it would directly annihilate Shen Linsu and their Divine Thoughts, thereby taking their lives."

"However, this situation is improbable, for they are protected by an Eternal Life Rune."

"Therefore, this blade likely only managed to shatter their Eternal Life Rune."

"Following the shattering of the Eternal Life Rune, several possibilities remain:"

"Firstly, the Sea of Consciousness belonging to Shen Linsu and the others could be obliterated, plunging them into a coma until the conclusion of the sword discussion tournament."

"Another outcome is the unveiling of their 'true form'..."

Mo Hua paused briefly, then stated deliberately:

"These exceptional individuals like Shen Linsu have engaged in clandestine, unspoken agreements. They have... succumbed to the allure of the Rouge Boat, their Seas of Consciousness tainted with the Malevolent Thoughts of an Evil God, which were only sealed within their Seas of Consciousness through advanced techniques."

"Even if this sword fails to destroy them, merely breaching their Seas of Consciousness would cause these wicked karmas to spill forth. Should they be discovered by other Feathered Immortals or Heaven Void Ancestors, they would inevitably face condemnation and be barred from continuing the sword discussion."

"In the direst of circumstances, even if it does not spell their ruin and cannot expose their Malevolent Thoughts, it would at the very least shatter their unique Eternal Life Rune, inflicting substantial harm upon them."

"Once the four prodigies from the Four Great Sects sustain significant injury, the subsequent heavenly sword discussion will entirely depend on my strategy, with victory and defeat ultimately being dictated by my Taixu Gate."
