Yan Zhu and Qing Zhu, both Shamans of the Royal Court, discuss their shared fate and the need to resolve the Wujiu Tribe's calamity. Meanwhile, Mo Hua dedicates months to revolutionizing tribal warfare by integrating formations into every aspect of combat, from siege equipment to armor. While the other chiefs remain largely unaware of the depth of his experiments, Mo Hua begins collecting the most guarded formation patterns from various tribes' Barbarian Armor as the war intensifies.

But they actually still don’t know, how terrifying the formation mastery of the young man before them truly is.

The formations they delivered to Mo Hua are like fish presented to a cat.

The carefully prepared "seal" is no thicker than a sheet of paper in front of Mo Hua.

As for swearing an oath, Mo Hua indeed swore one.

He swore to the "Divine Lord" that if he were to steal these secrets, the "Divine Lord" would surely punish him severely.

The Divine Lord is Mo Hua himself.

The Divine Lord punishing Mo Hua means he is punishing himself.

And Mo Hua truly did punish himself — by eating an extra bowl of rice.

Just like that, various tribes almost presented the core barbarian armor formations of their tribes straight to Mo Hua.

And that’s not all.

Each tribe also has a collection of "ancestral barbarian armor" passed down from ancient times.

These ancestral barbarian armors are incredibly precious and are usually not used, but now facing the formidable Wujiu Tribe, these ancestral barbarian armors had to be deployed.

But as soon as they are deployed, these ancestral barbarian armors inevitably get damaged or even destroyed.

As a result, a batch of damaged or destroyed ancestral battle armors of the barbarian tribes ends up in Mo Hua’s hands.

Mo Hua then "fills his own pockets," using the Taotie Devouring Law he had researched to "deconstruct," and then uses the Four Symbols Dragon Transformation Law to "reconstruct."

Thus, through deconstruction and reconstruction.

Mo Hua essentially "stole" the formation inheritance of the ancestral battle armors from Vermilion Bird Mountain and all the tribes.

And because these formations involve the "Dragon Transformation" law, without exception, they are twenty-pattern, if not twenty-one-pattern Four Symbols Array formations.

Mo Hua almost effortlessly collected a batch of "Ultimate Formations."

And the Four Symbols Array within these ancestral barbarian armors is the secret of the ancestral barbarian tribes, something even their Great Chiefs and Chief Elders might not know themselves.

Mo Hua felt a bit of emotion in his heart.

It’s no wonder that some skilled Formation Masters have always been heavily "guarded."

Because if you mix with him, unknowingly, all of your wealth might be taken by him, while you’re still in the dark.

Now, the formation wealth of these major tribes has all been "stolen" by Mo Hua.

This battle, they are fighting in front, while Mo Hua is silently making a fortune behind the scenes.

By mastering the construction of war formations, Mo Hua has all but mastered the formation inheritance related to barbarian armor from Vermilion Bird Mountain and the various Third Grade tribes.

Key is, not a single person knows.

Besides the barbarian armor formations, Mo Hua had the opportunity to deeply research another formation:

Wood Revitalization Formation.

War inevitably involves massive casualties.

And casualties require ways to heal.

Mo Hua, under the guise of the "Divine Lord," gathered formation materials from various tribes, and constructed dense Wood Revitalization Formations in a large valley.

Afterwards, many injured barbarian soldiers were sent to the valley for treatment through the Wood Revitalization Formation.

Their blood qi was nurtured.

The constantly diminishing vitality was curbed.

The constantly spreading death qi was also dissipated.

Thousands of wounded gathered together, treated by the formation, their vitality replenished after it diminishes.

As death qi spread, it was continuously suppressed by the formation.

Their lives circulated between life and death, gradually reaching a delicate balance.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these individuals are just patients, just in the process of healing.

But in Mo Hua’s eyes, these people are the "simulators" of the law between life and death.

Whenever he had free time, Mo Hua would stand atop the mountain, continuously observing the circulation of vitality and death qi within each body, comprehending the various changes in laws, and deepening his understanding of the Wood Revitalization Formation...

So that in the future, he could apply it to himself during his Core Formation...
