The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2282: Great Wilderness Order (2)
Previously on The Quest for Immortality...
Inside the Evil Path Great Formation, typical Original Magnet waves are definitely blocked off.
Mr. Tu, having devised this enormous scheme, must have schemed with utmost precision. He couldn’t possibly commit such an elementary blunder, leaving them an escape route.
However, this Original Magnet method is something they simply cannot do without.
For a conspiracy of such magnitude, coordinating the Evil Path Great Formation’s functions is absolutely essential.
Lacking any form of ’communication’, even joint operations would prove impossible.
Mo Hua eyed the Evil Formation Master’s corpse, then the loot taken from it, before declaring:
"Pry open the teeth of all Evil Formation Masters, inspect every one for a hidden Token."
"Also, search these Storage Bags once more and collect every Token for me."
The others puzzled over Mo Hua’s aim but obeyed anyway, forcing jaws apart, scouring Storage Bags, until soon seven or eight Tokens lay in Mo Hua’s grasp.
Most of these Tokens consisted of White Bone, eerie and blood-soaked, all regarded as ’slipped fish’.Given the Evil Formation Masters’ sly tactics, with over eighty corpses and pressing time, even sharp Mo Hua likely didn’t scour them completely.
Mo Hua sifted through the Tokens individually, casting aside the majority, keeping just a single one.
This Token wasn’t White Bone but crafted from jade, bearing two archaic, clumsy characters:
Great Wilderness.
"Great Wilderness Order?"
Mo Hua felt astonishment, then examined it closely, discovering it was in fact a ’Sect Token’.
"Great Wilderness... Sect?"
The name rang a faint bell for Mo Hua, though he set it aside for now.
Besides, merely from ’Great Wilderness’, he couldn’t verify it belonged to Great Wilderness Sect outright.
It might well come from a sect faction allied with the Great Wilderness Master.
"As a Sect Token, it must link to a sect’s power, carry its heritage, and enable internal sect communication."
"Coming from an Evil Formation Master, its Original Magnet signals are allowed past the Evil Path Great Formation."
Mo Hua’s gaze lit up as he delved into the ’Great Wilderness Order’.
The Great Wilderness Order featured encryption and seals, barring outsiders from access.
Yet such safeguards posed no challenge to Mo Hua, a Thunder Magnetic Formation Master.
With deep knowledge of Thunder Magnetism Formations, he excelled at breaking codes.
He kept essential tools in his Storage Ring for sudden necessities.
Mo Hua pulled out various Secondary Thunder Pattern Jade Slips, Array Plates tied to ’Thunder Magnetism’, set them down, and deftly launched into intricate pattern-breaking and hidden code-cracking.
These were deep, esoteric formation arts.
The watching disciples observed blankly, comprehending zilch, their thoughts growing ever more dazed.
Whatever formation Mo Hua inscribed, they felt no shock or envy anymore.
Humans compare to humans, not to ’monsters’.
No sense pitting different kinds against each other.
Through meticulous, methodical steps, Mo Hua at last shattered the seals, unlocked the secrets, and accessed the Great Wilderness Order’s core.
Within lay sect cultivation arts and Dao skills, shaded black-grey as if intentionally ’sealed’, veiling their essence.
Curiosity stirred in Mo Hua, but he knew time was critical—no moment to crack seals and plunder heritage.
Mo Hua turned his focus to the Great Wilderness Order’s ’communication’ magnetic arrays.
This Great Wilderness Order held plenty of magnetic channels and thick clusters of Secondary Thunder Pattern marks, showing many ’fellow disciples’ connected, with its former owner often messaging them.
The Great Wilderness Order’s owner had been an Evil Formation Master serving Mr. Tu.
Thus, many ’Great Wilderness’ comrades served under Mr. Tu.
This meant Mo Hua could send signals outward via the Great Wilderness Order.
Mo Hua grew delighted, then paused abruptly:
"Transmit a message outside, but... to who?"
"Anyone receiving Great Wilderness Order signals would be Mr. Tu’s lackeys; asking them for rescue?"
Wouldn’t that just doom himself?
Mo Hua rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Though confined in the Blood Sacrifice Array, blind to outside events, he could deduce broadly:
"Mr. Tu seized hundreds of prodigies from Qian Learning State Boundary, trapping them in the Evil Path Great Formation—sects, clans, even the Court Tribunal must respond..."
"They’d strive to shatter the formation, save their prodigies, or at least slay some Evil God followers to sap the formation’s strength."
"In battles, some of Mr. Tu’s underlings would surely die or get captured by the Court Tribunal."
"So, could similar Evil Cultivator ’Tokens’ have ended up with the Qianxue Court Tribunal?"
"If I send ’help’ magnetic signals to those Tokens, the Court Tribunal might catch them, allowing inside-out coordination to free Qianxue prodigies..."
Yet this approach brought a fresh issue:
Mo Hua had no way to tell which Tokens were held by the Court Tribunal and which stayed with Mr. Tu’s forces.
