The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2314: Mystery Valley (part 2)

"Riddles exist merely for mental amusement. Yet the Mystery Formation serves a far more vital purpose..."

Mr. Tu's eyes grew grave as he spoke, "The Mystery Formation enables Formation Masters to distinguish between the real and the illusory."

Mo Hua's eyes slightly constricted, "Distinguish... the real from the false?"

Mr. Tu affirmed with a nod, "The Mystery Formation's 'cover' represents the 'false,' while its 'answer' embodies the 'true.' Piercing through the surface reveals the Formation's true core."

"The 'cover' stands as 'virtual,' the 'answer' as 'real.' Within the interplay of virtual and real dwell the deep Dao Laws of shifting between them..."

Penetrating illusion to find truth, converting virtual into real.

Mo Hua's face shifted in shock, struck by abrupt insight, as though he faintly seized a "tail" of deeper Dao Laws swirling in his Sea of Consciousness, catching a glimpse of the resplendent deity's Great Dao...

Yet pursuing the source and delving further, true grasp and insight eluded him still.

Mo Hua realized his meager Realm caused this.

Lacking sufficient Realm and cultivation base, numerous Great Dao realizations remained unrealized, unrefined, unable to be commanded with Dao's might.

Mo Hua could merely seal this realization away in his heart for now, akin to sowing a seed within his thoughts.

Later on, through encounters tied to it, he might confirm and fathom it bit by bit.

After pondering briefly, Mo Hua questioned Mr. Tu:

"Precisely, what marks the 'true' versus the 'false'? The 'real' against the 'virtual'? How does one tell truth from lie? And shift from virtual to real?"

Mr. Tu gazed intently at Mo Hua, shaking his head, "These queries come too soon for you; your present Realm cannot grasp such matters."

He gestured toward Mo Hua's sketched Formation Patterns, "I shared this because the key Formation Patterns from the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice you study form a 'Mystery Formation' entwined with truth, falsity, reality, and virtuality..."

"The patterns visible to you are just the outer 'cover'; the authentic 'answer' hides deity Laws, veiled by virtual and real, beyond your sight."

"Your task is solely to master these 'covers'; through them, the answer's Laws embed themselves, granting access to portions of the 'deity's' might."

"Wield this power freely, but refrain from probing deeper."

"Shun beholding the deity, avoid venturing into... deities' domain, lest you breach the forbidden and invite calamity."

Mr. Tu fixed his stern, heavy gaze on Mo Hua's eyes.

Mo Hua paled faintly, nodding in agreement:

"I get it."

From then on, Mo Hua held back questions, adhering strictly to Mr. Tu's guidance by studying only the 'cover's' Formation Patterns, aware of their form without questioning their reason.

Mo Hua picked it up swiftly as well.

Initially awkward perhaps, he soon flawlessly copied nearly all Mystery Formation Patterns, albeit missing true vitality.

Mr. Tu felt inner astonishment, though Mo Hua's Formation genius made it foreseeable.

Following the foundational Formation Patterns arrived the Mystery Formation's Pivots.

Mr. Tu shared freely, imparting the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation's layout, even core Second Grade Formation Pivots, in exhaustive detail to Mo Hua.

Such Formation Pivots get inscribed using human blood upon human flesh.

Mr. Tu passed the skin map of Formation Pivots to Mo Hua, stating plainly, "Examine it diligently on your own, and consult me with any doubts."

With those words, Mr. Tu departed.

Inside the blood-flesh enclosure, Mo Hua alone lingered.

Suppressing unease, he unrolled the human skin, scrutinizing its Formation Pivots, and promptly furrowed his brow.

"This feels off..."

These Formation Pivots deviated from expectations, vastly unlike the "Mysterious Heaven Great Formation" structure in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Why is that?"

Mo Hua creased his forehead, fixing on the skin map, mentally contrasting it against his inner Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, reflecting long until clarity dawned.

The Mysterious Heaven Great Formation forms the heart, the crux, the soul of the full Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation—a "Great Dao model" capturing laws of true and false, virtual and real.

This "Great Dao model," though brimming with mighty laws, fails to "stand alone" within its Formation framework.

Within Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness, the "Mysterious Heaven Great Formation" takes shape from his own Dao foundation. It relies on his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense as the "source," empowered by the enigmatic secrets of Heaven Yan Jue.

However, manifesting this Mysterious Heaven Great Formation into the physical world demands solving the challenge of establishing a "Formation eye" to "power" the Large Formation.

This represents the foundational logic of all Formations.

Every Formation—whether a Single Formation, Compound Formation, or vast Large Formations—requires a "Formation eye" at its center.

Only with energy from Spiritual Power, Telekinesis, or even Evil Power can the Formation activate and function.

Mr. Tu’s approach relies on the "Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice."

It unleashes widespread slaughter, drenching the earth veins in blood.

Human flesh and bones become the conduit, distilling agony, heart-rending sorrow, terror, and despair from the human Divine Soul into Telekinesis. These emotions fuse and transform into Evil Power, fueling the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation to spawn the Evil God.

The "Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice" supplies the form, the method, the foundation—a tool for forging Evil Power, energizing the Large Formation, and upholding its complete operation via the power circulation schematics of the Formation Pivot system.

The "Mysterious Heaven Great Formation" serves as the core and the law, drawing in Evil Power from the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice. Through transformative laws, it reverses reality itself, acting as the "cradle" for the Evil God’s birth.

These two inseparable components make the entire Large Formation utterly indispensable.
