The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2324: Seven Stars Formations (part 2)

The Evil God's reincarnation hinges on selecting the 'chosen one.'

An individual such as Yu Er, originating from an esteemed family, possessing the Karma Dragon bloodline and exceptional Spiritual Roots, stands as a prime candidate for a 'Divine Fetus.'

What Evil God would be so foolish as to select someone like myself, devoid of any bloodline, with inferior Spiritual Roots, a fragile physique, and hailing from the humble background of a Loose Cultivator, for their rebirth?

My family's poverty in my youth was such that even brigands ignored us, let alone an Evil God.

If an Evil God truly chose me, they would endure a lifetime of hardship from infancy, a prospect that is genuinely not worthwhile.

Upon this realization, Mo Hua found a measure of peace.

He then focused his attention, continuing to acquaint himself with the surroundings and delve into the intricacies of the Formation within the Blood and Flesh Maze.

The deeper his study, the more he perceived.

Yet, he hesitated to study for extended periods or probe too deeply.

Mr. Tu could return at any moment, and if he discovered my ability to break the Seal and move freely, he would undoubtedly become highly suspicious and potentially enraged enough to end my life instantly.

Therefore, prudence dictated that I exercise caution and cease while still ahead.

Consequently, Mo Hua explored for a time, taking note of numerous details and queries regarding Formations, before returning to the Blood and Flesh prison. He obediently donned the White Bone head ring, his gaze fixed upon the Formation Pivot left by Mr. Tu, feigning study while contemplating profound questions inwardly.

After a short interval, a chilling presence permeated the air.

Mo Hua immediately straightened his posture.

He recognized that Mr. Tu had returned.

Indeed, within moments, Mr. Tu materialized outside the entrance.

Mr. Tu had been delayed by unforeseen circumstances, and upon his arrival, his first action was to 'inspect the premises,' checking on Mo Hua's status.

Observing that all remained as it should be, with Mo Hua affixed with the White Bone Holy Object and diligently studying the Formation he had established, Mr. Tu finally felt reassured.

He even entertained the thought that perhaps his caution had been excessive.

After all, it was a formidable Holy Object from the Great Wilderness, intended to subdue a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator; surely it was more than capable of keeping him contained.

Upon seeing Mr. Tu, and fearing any potential overthinking on his part, Mo Hua quickly inquired with a semblance of concern:

"Mr. Tu, you appear to be in a hurry. Did something occur?"

Mr. Tu paused momentarily, his pupils constricting. "Something did occur."

"What happened?" Mo Hua asked softly.

Mr. Tu's brow furrowed. "The Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation..."

Mo Hua feigned shock. "What?"

Mr. Tu also faltered, then his brow tightened once more, a sense of bewilderment seizing him.

Why did he feel compelled to answer the boy's question? Why mention this Formation to him?

Shaking his head, Mr. Tu dismissed the thought. "Nothing."

Noticing Mo Hua's intense curiosity, akin to a cat sensing fish, an urge to inquire further evident in his expression, Mr. Tu shifted the focus back onto him:

"How has your study of the Formation progressed?"

Mo Hua's curiosity was indeed diverted.

When Mr. Tu posed a question, Mo Hua normally needed to deliberate carefully before answering, lest he reveal something inadvertently that could undermine his future schemes.

Initially, Mo Hua intended to claim, "This Formation Pivot is far too complex, I haven't grasped it yet," but mid-utterance, a different thought intervened, and he altered his response:

"It's passable; I've grasped a small portion."

Mr. Tu's eyes narrowed.

Without employing human skin, bone, and blood to empower his Divine Sense, enhance his Formation mastery, and bypass inherent limitations, he could still comprehend this profoundly arcane Blood Sacrifice Formation Pivot...

How, precisely, had he achieved this understanding?

Mr. Tu knitted his brows.

In the past, he himself could not grasp the core principles of this Blood Sacrifice Formation relying solely on his own capabilities. Thus, he fell prey to the Evil God's 'temptation,' making a critical error that led to his present predicament. This fueled a deep-seated resentment towards Mo Hua's innate 'insight.'

Feelings of envy resurfaced with vigor.

Mr. Tu exerted considerable effort to suppress the buried jealousy.

The Divine Lord's reincarnation was a matter of utmost importance, and he could not allow petty emotions to derail the grand strategy devised for the Divine Lord.

Furthermore, he genuinely had limited time to invest in Mo Hua.

"Continue your studies."

With those parting words, Mr. Tu departed.

Mo Hua then complied, diligently resuming his study of the Blood Sacrifice Formation Pivot.

In the ensuing days, Mr. Tu continued to make periodic checks on Mo Hua, ensuring no disturbances arose.

However, the frequency of these inspections gradually diminished.

Mo Hua's opportunities for 'unsupervised activity' correspondingly increased.

Save for the labyrinth's innermost depths, which Mo Hua had not, and dared not, explore, he had traversed nearly all adjacent sectors, and the structure of the Formation Pivot had been meticulously investigated.While others might find the intricate mazes, the writhing masses of blood and flesh, and the uniform bone walls to be a gruesome and disorienting spectacle, Mo Hua perceived them as distinctly familiar, as if he were looking upon his very own 'home.' With a mere glance, he could ascertain the origin of each fleshly fragment and its position within the Maze by examining its unique aura and the embedded Formation Patterns. The surface revealed the core of the Formation, while the positional layouts were identified through the study of these patterns. This insight, knowing what remains hidden from others, is the true power of a Formation Master. Furthermore, Mo Hua deduced that Mr. Tu's reduced appearances and evident distress signaled that he must be grappling with some significant challenges. "Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation..." Mo Hua whispered to himself. This particular Formation was a name he had heard Mr. Tu mention. It appeared that this Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation had been placing immense pressure on Mr. Tu lately, causing him to appear solemn and preoccupied. "Seven Stars..." Mo Hua mused, his brow furrowed as he began to recall the Formation principles imparted by Elder Master Xun during his studies at Taixu Gate: "The Seven Star Formation represents a significant classification of formations, meticulously designed according to the constellations of the Big Dipper—Tian Shu, Tianxuan, Phecda, Tianquan, Yuhen, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang—to consolidate celestial star configurations and thereby establish the Formation."
