Yan Zhu and the Black Vulture Elder are disturbed by Mo Hua's rapid increase in divine sense, which far surpasses normal cultivation. Mo Hua, aware of the lingering ambitions of tribal leaders, realizes he needs a more permanent method to unify the tribes under his divine authority. He retrieves a bone fragment containing the "Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Formation," a powerful and complex ultimate formation. With his divine sense now at the required level, Mo Hua begins to study the formation, realizing its true power and the potential risks of incorporating it as his life formation.

Only this feeling, a moment later, disappeared again.

Because Mo Hua has committed too many "crimes," he has already become somewhat numb.

This "sense of crime" no longer stirs him.

Moreover, in order to achieve Core Formation, in order to learn this Ultimate Formation, he has put in too much time and effort, overcoming too many difficulties and setbacks—it’s impossible for him to just give up lightly because he feels it’s a bit dangerous.

After all, it’s just a Formation.

Mo Hua is a Formation Master, dedicated to seeking the Great Dao of formations; as long as it’s a "Formation," there’s nothing to fear.

Instead, the more challenging the Formation, the more it piques his curiosity.

The more dangerous the Formation, the more it excites him.

Because the more challenging and dangerous, precisely shows that within this Formation, lies Dao Laws that are difficult for ordinary people to fathom, and it holds unimaginably powerful uses.

Mo Hua no longer thinks further, and begins to concentrate, delving into this seemingly "alive" Twelve Scripture Taotie Spirit Corpse Formation.

This is the most difficult Formation Mo Hua has studied so far.

And with this research, time passes quickly.

Mo Hua immerses himself in it, completely unaware, until he realizes three days have passed.

During these three days, Mo Hua works tirelessly day and night, repeatedly pondering, and has gained a preliminary understanding of the Taotie Spirit Corpse Formation.

From the outside, this Spirit Corpse Formation appears extremely savage, the formation pattern is very difficult, exuding an ancient and sinister aura.

Yet when Mo Hua actually starts learning it, it’s not as difficult as he initially anticipated.

One reason is that his Taoist Divine Sense has reached twenty-four patterns, which is already very strong.

Whether from the perspective of realm, "substance," or "quantity," it is already quite profound.

Another most crucial reason is that he has previously done a lot of corresponding Taotie Law research and comprehension.

As he had discovered before, the so-called "Taotie" Law is not a singular law but a complete "Law Chain."

Different laws are interconnected, distinct from one another, ultimately merging into one, forming the body of Taotie.

It also provides logical support from the "Dao" level for the Taotie, this Law Beast’s survival, hunting, eating, digestion, assimilation... and a series of behaviors.

The Taotie, this Fierce Beast, is both abstract and concrete.

This issue is quite profound and complex, involving comprehension of the laws.

Generally, cultivators find it hard to understand.

For those who don’t understand, Mo Hua also finds it difficult to explain further.

And precisely because of this, a series of Great Wilderness Ultimate Formations derived from the "Taotie" Law are also interconnected.

Learning some prerequisite Ultimate Formations makes learning the Taotie Spirit Corpse Formation much more efficient.

However, if lacking the prerequisite formations, lacking the foundation and understanding of related laws, looking at it only from an isolated "Single Formation" perspective.

Then this twenty-four pattern Twelve Scripture Taotie Spirit Corpse Formation truly seems like an unseen, unknown, unfathomable, unfathomable, impossible to comprehend, impossible to control "Taotie Fierce Beast," completely beyond the cognition of ordinary Formation Masters, even wanting to learn but having no idea where to start.

Local cuisine must be tasted locally.

Local formations must also be studied locally.

Thinking of this, Mo Hua feels a bit fortunate in his heart.

Fortunately, he came to the Great Wilderness, otherwise, he would really not know where to start learning.

And the purpose of this Formation is roughly the same as Mo Hua previously predicted.

This is a "Spirit Corpse" formation, as the name suggests, it constructs a set of "Spiritual Power skeleton" through the formation.

And this formation can store a certain amount of Spiritual Power through the Formation Patterns, sealed within the skeleton.

Equivalent to an "external Spiritual Power container" placed on bones.

In this way, you can use the formation to solve the increasingly severe problem of Spiritual Power depletion for this "Spiritual Cultivator," due to poor Spiritual Root and cultivation technique not being proficient in Spiritual Power.

From the current view, the purpose of this Ultimate Formation is just like this...

As for whether there are any other functions, Mo Hua currently isn’t clear either.

He needs to truly learn this Spirit Corpse Formation, and engrave it into his own bones, then run it practically to know.

But even if it only has the "Spiritual Power storage" function, this Lifebound Formation is exceedingly precious to Mo Hua.

After all, besides the identities of Witch Priest and Formation Master, Mo Hua is also a Spiritual Cultivator who relies on "spells."

To a Spiritual Cultivator, Spiritual Power is "life."

Weak Spiritual Power is the most fatal problem.

And in the entire Tao Cultivation World, even in Qianxue, a Fifth Grade state boundary, a Magical Treasure capable of storing Spiritual Power outside of the Qi Sea is an excellent thing.

Such Magical Treasures need cultivators to nurture from a young age, not only are rare inheritances but also extremely expensive to produce.

Being of loose cultivator background and having missed the best nurturing period, Mo Hua basically isn’t qualified to use it.

Therefore, if he can use the Taotie Spirit Formation as his own Magical Treasure to solve the problem of insufficient Spiritual Power, he would be very content even if that’s the only benefit.

More importantly, as long as one builds their own Magical Treasure, even a prototype, they can be considered to have reached Foundation Establishment Peak and can formally attempt Core Formation...

"Lifebound Formation... Core Formation..."

Mo Hua took a breath, began to focus, pouring all his Heart Spirit into researching the Twelve Scripture Taotie Spirit Corpse Formation.

Because of his profound understanding of Taotie Law, and accumulated extensive experience, the entire process was surprisingly smooth.

Just half a month later, Mo Hua felt he had a bit of insight.

He can even already start to draw the Formation Patterns of the Taotie Spirit Formation.

The speed of this process surprised Mo Hua somewhat.

But whether this Spirit Corpse Formation can be applied practically, or if there are other issues, Mo Hua still isn’t completely confident.

Therefore, he needs to find a "material" to test it first.

He has already prepared this "material" in advance.

...

In the Witch Priest Hall, in a dark room at the lowest level, lies a massive, sinister coffin.

Inside this coffin, rests the corpse of a Barbarian Tribes strongman as big as a hill:
