The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2311: Mystery Heaven (2)

Moreover, devoting additional effort to carefully master one or two Tao Cultivation techniques from the Dan Formation Talisman holds even greater value.

Excelling through specialization.

For most, the profound and arcane Tao Cultivation knowledge offers only a surface-level grasp, far from true mastery. .

This rings especially true for achievements and incantations in Divine Thought.

Divine Thought, formless and ethereal, capricious and shifting, spans a vast array of facets—from heavenly secrets and causality to blessings, calamity evasion, fortune seeking, misfortune dodging, divination, exorcism, demon slaying, divine reverence, and far more—profoundly mysterious, expansive like the starry expanse.

Acquiring such a legacy demands immense difficulty, lifelong devotion starting young, total immersion in study; even after mastery, acclaim remains elusive, often scorned by the uninitiated as charlatan’s delusions meant to bewilder the masses.

In the modern Cultivation World, Tao Cultivation misses genuine heart cultivation; focus lies solely on Spiritual Roots, physique and sinews, clan lineage, prestige and influence, alongside other superficial pursuits.

Consequently, the Divine Way fades away, with much of the Divine Thought-related knowledge and incantations teetering on extinction,

Even now, few powers retain the full legacy.

Elder Situ of Mystery Valley, though merely at Feather Transformation cultivation base, has amassed profound Tao insights into heavenly secret and causality Divine Thought through a lifetime of diligent practice, earning widespread respect from Great Families and Sects on his journeys—even honored as a distinguished guest by certain Heaven Void Ancestors.

At present, deep inside the Large Formation, causality shudders violently, spawning colossal Evil Thoughts; only the veteran Mystery Valley Chief Elder, Elder Situ, possesses the expertise to address this crisis.

At the very least, he can pierce the foul mists, expose the underlying truth, and devise countermeasures.

Of course, within the Qian Learning State Boundary, certain Heaven Void Ancestors have practiced the heavenly secret causality arts.

However, mastery of heavenly secret causality enables seeking fortune and evading harm, but not necessarily demon slaying or spirit exorcism.

Within Divine Thought, one involves "calculation," the other "killing."

These domains differ profoundly.

Indeed, the Divine Sense used to kill humans varies from that against ghosts, demons, and spirits—each type distinct.

Divine Thought proves highly intricate and fraught with latent risks.

Hence, these Heaven Void Ancestors move with utmost caution, unwilling to rush in blindly.

That said, they aren’t idle; they simply require an "expert" to offer direction and evade forbidden pitfalls.

After a moment, a Heaven Void Ancestor with sharp, slender features suddenly remembered and inquired, "By the way, where’s the Xiao family Ancestral? Why isn’t he here?"

Right now, cultivators versed in heavenly secret causality from every faction have assembled at the Sword Observation Tower, awaiting Elder Situ—yet the Xiao family Ancestral remains absent.

The Xiao family Ancestral also practices heavenly secret methods.

Extra hands to assist are always welcome.

"The Xiao family Ancestral seems still in seclusion; his cultivation appears to have run into troubles," shared an Ancestor in the loop.

"Issues with cultivation..."

The sharp-faced Ancestor’s brows furrowed ever so slightly.

Not far off, Elder Master Xun’s pupils shrank faintly, sensing something awry...

...

Within the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

In the heart of the flesh-blood city.

Mr. Tu kept guiding Mo Hua deeper into the city, arriving before a majestic yet foreboding hall forged from White Bone.

Mr. Tu prostrated himself.

Mo Hua reflected briefly, thinking it best to "follow suit" by kneeling like Mr. Tu to display his "devotion" to the Great Wilderness Master.

Regrettably, his frame was too rigid; even straining, he couldn’t kneel, so he let it slide.

Thus, Mr. Tu knelt while Mo Hua stood firm.

What’s more, Mr. Tu, a figure destined for greatness, overlooked Mo Hua’s breach of these small etiquettes without a second thought.

Mr. Tu knelt piously on the ground; moments later, as though granted some favor, he rose and shoved open the White Bone hall door.

A resounding thud echoed.

The grinding of White Bone produced an unnerving rasp, mingled with shrill wails—either anguished laments or terrified shrieks piercing the ears.

The White Bone door gradually swung open.

The scene beyond unveiled itself to Mo Hua’s gaze.

A labyrinth of blood and flesh sprawled before him, radiating ancient magnificence and intricate depth, yet infested with malevolent Formation Patterns.

This was an ancient Formation.

Mr. Tu’s face grew increasingly fervent, his eyes brimming with desire, thrill, expectation, awe, and a swirl of other feelings.

"This is the core of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, the flesh transformation into divinity Formation!"

Mo Hua’s face stiffened as he took in the sight before him, his eyes slowly widening in utter disbelief.

The source of his shock wasn’t the maze woven from blood and flesh.

Nor were the arcane secrets hidden within this Formation.

Rather, it was the central array of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation right in front of him... one he recognized, had studied deeply, and knew intimately.

It was... the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation!

Beneath the layer of flesh, the rebirth nucleus for the Desolate Heaven Evil God in the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation proved to be... the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation!

Moreover, the very bottleneck blocking his Heaven Yan Jue was also the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation!

Mo Hua drew in a deep, ragged breath.

Disbelief crashed through Mo Hua’s mind like a tidal wave, his pupils quivering intensely while his face contorted in overwhelming astonishment.

Heaven Yan Jue, Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, Evil God rebirth...

These threads intertwined, plunging Mo Hua’s thoughts into sudden disarray and igniting a faint dread in his depths.

Mo Hua willed himself to steady his nerves.

Everything arrayed before him followed a clear chain of cause.

Furthermore, delving back to the roots, every piece traced back clearly.

From the very beginning, the carvings on the Bronze maze inside the Bi Mountain Demon Cavern had been segments of the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation’s Patterns.
