Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2067 Chapter 985: God-slaying Soul Projection (2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Even though the might might weaken somewhat, only the power one can totally command is their authentic capability.
Employing the refined Divine Thought into sword, should it manage to escape the sheath, merely half its strength proves more than sufficient.
Discard the Taishang Emotion Cutting, halve the Tai Xu Sword Intent, cut the integrated Dao in half too, which in turn lightens the burden, speeds up the attacks, and boosts the effectiveness in battle.
Of all the mystical arts, nothing surpasses sheer speed.
Grandpa Gui shared this wisdom with me ages ago.
It's preferable to outpace by a sliver than to overpower by a mile.
The challenge of forming the Godslaying Sword appears resolved now.
The following concern lies in how to unleash it.
For unleashing, the eyes have to act as the channel, shattering the divide between the Sea of Consciousness and the physical realm, allowing the Divine Thought into sword to burst forth completely.
In a way, this matter holds even greater importance.
Should the divine thought transfer get obstructed at a vital instant, the line between real and unreal remains intact, preventing the Sword of Divine Thought from emerging, then everything is lost.
Imagine two cultivators locked in intense sword combat.
If the foe's blade is already at your throat, while your own stays trapped in its scabbard, you're bound to perish in vain.
Mo Hua's face turned solemn.
He absolutely refuses to meet such a pointless end.
"I have to discover a method that guarantees the Divine Thought into sword draws fully every single time..."
Yet, mastering the spell's release point exceeds what Mo Hua can grasp at his current level.
Having strayed far beyond the standard curriculum, with no examples to emulate, he must probe step by step, refining it according to his personal circumstances.
Mo Hua mused briefly, drawing on lessons from Patriarch Dugu in days gone by.
Per the Taixu Gate's purest Divine Thought into sword True Jue, a "sword" serves as the essential conduit for launching it.
Mo Hua isn't a traditional Sword Cultivator, so he lacks such a blade.
Thus, his only option is to employ his eyes as that conduit.
However, channeling through the eyes turns the Divine Thought into sword into a far more intricate and deep release point.
Given Mo Hua's present cultivation base and Sword Dao skill, stable control remains out of reach.
Unsteadiness often results in collapse, and a single collapse means catastrophe.
"I require an extra conduit to secure reliability..."
But what to incorporate?
He owns no personal Magical Treasure, not even the beginnings of one.
Beyond the eyes, his body provides no other fitting channel...
With brows knit tight, Mo Hua wracked his mind extensively, until at last, drawing from his deep expertise in formations, he gleaned ideas from the First Grade's twenty-three pattern Five Elements Source Formation Law.
Spiritual Power!
At its heart, the Five Elements Source Formation harnesses divine thought, via array alterations, to magnify the Five Elements' force, thus empowering Five Elements Taoist Skills.
This shows that Spiritual Power and Telekinesis, though appearing as separate Cultivation forces, stem from a common root.
Spiritual Power can blend seamlessly with divine thought.
To a degree, Spiritual Power can function as a carrier for "divine thought."
This integration is intricate and undoubtedly ties into specific Dao Laws, or else the Five Elements Source Formation couldn't stand as the Five Elements Sect's supreme guardian array.
Mo Hua seeks no elaborate alterations, though.
He simply aims to use his Spiritual Power to steer his Divine Sense.
Since both Spiritual Power and Divine Sense belong to him innately, they align naturally, enabling smooth activation without clashing.
"Spiritual Power steering Divine Sense..."
Mo Hua reflected momentarily, then jolted, recalling his cultivation method—Heaven Yan Jue.
In cultivating Heaven Yan Jue, upon realm advancement, Spiritual Power withdraws to the Heavenly Gate, enters the Sea of Consciousness, interfaces with Divine Sense, and erects a Spirit Screen of Mystery Formation to form the breakthrough barrier.
Could this suggest...
The Heaven Yan Jue's mechanism entails a harmony between Spiritual Power and Telekinesis... or perhaps some merging?
Mo Hua's features shifted subtly, struck with awe.
This delves into merging a cultivator's core energies.
The timeless technique from his master truly harbors profound secrets.
Regrettably, his cultivation remains too basic, letting him sense only the surface, unable to pierce Heaven Yan Jue's profound core.
"I'll keep advancing steadily in practice, and as my cultivation rises and insight grows, the enigmas of this ancient technique will slowly reveal themselves..."
Mo Hua pushed aside his questions about Heaven Yan Jue for now, pressing on with his focused study of releasing the Divine Thought into sword.
After some deliberation, he'd already sorted most of the puzzles, devising an approach from his accumulated knowledge and trials.
All that's left is to test it in action.
Mo Hua steadied his spirit, clearing away stray thoughts, as his eyes grew piercing, his form akin to a sheathed treasure sword brimming with latent lethality.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua lifted his hands upward.
The sword arrays for Gold Cutting, Mountain Opening, Gui Water, and Li Fire surged unyieldingly between his palms.
A thread of Tai Xu Sword Intent wove in as well.
As it drew on just a portion of the Sword Dao, this Godslaying Sword took shape swiftly.
Once formed, the Godslaying Sword's intent blazed aggressively, ready to lash out.
Mo Hua's gaze intensified, becoming keen and intense.
He pressed two fingers to his forehead.
A strand of Spiritual Power linked to the Sea of Consciousness, slowly "directing" the telekinetic energy inside.
Mo Hua felt the divide between real and illusory with clarity.
With eyes as the exit and Spiritual Power as the director, Mo Hua's Sword of Divine Thought started piercing the barrier separating reality from illusion.
Mo Hua observed this entire process.
Carefully tracing the movements and shifts between Spiritual Power and Telekinesis.
He also kept mapping the route, aim, and destination for launching his Godslaying Sword, grasping the interplay of virtual and real in Sword Dao.
