Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2094 Chapter 994: Sword Pointed at the Four Sects (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
"However..." one disciple murmured, "the sword contest isn't quite the same as hunting monsters, is it..."
Monster Beasts boast immense toughness and power, yet their behaviors stay predictable and unchanging.
Cultivators stand apart, displaying adaptability and unpredictability, along with sharper, more devious intellects.
Battling beasts differs vastly from confronting humans, as the tactics needed for these fights diverge completely.
Mo Hua replied with assurance: "Have no fears, I've planned every detail. In the moment, obey my directions, merge the formation, arm yourselves with arrays, adjust via Spiritual Artifacts, and fortify your approaches."
"View yourselves simply as Taoist Soldiers, shake off any dread, remain sharp and attentive, and stick to commands. Triumph would be wonderful, but defeat won't hurt. Remember, it's just a sword contest—no fatalities here."
Once Mo Hua finished his advice, a gleam sparked in the eyes of everyone without their control.
Observing this fresh resolve, Mo Hua continued, his words laced with fervor:
"Disciples from sects in the Qianxue State Boundary receive only a single shot at joining the sword contest over their entire lives. I refuse to think you'd actually surrender this shot."
"If you refuse to let it slip, then charge in and seize it."
"The Qianxue State Boundary hosts numerous renowned sects, brimming with geniuses and endless powerhouses."
"Yet regardless of their superior gifts, progress in Cultivation, or might, these geniuses remain ordinary people, no loftier than any of you."
"Beneath the Heavenly Dao, every creature amounts to mere straw dogs."
"As fellow straw dogs, what makes one superior to another?"
"Along the vast path of the Great Dao, a cultivator's journey brims with endless trials and struggles."
"Never abandon that drive to press on, or the bravery to wield your sword against the mighty."
"Besides, in this sword contest, defeat costs little, while victory yields massive rewards!"
"Even against the elites from the Four Great Sects, push forward relentlessly to claim a piece of their power!"
These declarations struck deep and true.
A wave of fervor swept through the disciples.
Ambition kindled in some hearts, bringing a flush to their gazes.
Mo Hua paused until their excitement eased slightly, then declared gravely: "And the key matter..."
He scanned their faces, then uttered slowly:
"During this sword contest, we'll surely encounter 'surrounding' tactics from the Four Great Sects and rival groups, making the path ahead grueling, but... remember... this event determines shifts in sect standings!"
"Essentially, the sword contest shapes the hierarchy of sects!"
"Should we actually outshine the Four Great Sects, Taixu Gate would rise to join their ranks!"
Mo Hua glanced about, emphasizing his point:
"Picture this... We arrived as members of the Eight Great Gates. Yet by the end, we emerge as elite talents of the Four Great Sects in the Qianxue State Boundary!"
The disciples froze in shock.
Disciples of the Qianxue Four Great Sects!!
This idea had never crossed their minds before.
It wasn't for lack of imagination, but sheer reluctance to dream so boldly.
How could one breach the barriers of the Four Great Sects so simply?
Such luck doesn't fall from the sky.
Yet Mo Hua's declaration ignited the buried 'aspirations' in their souls, sprouting wildly like weeds under a warm spring gust.
Mo Hua's voice sharpened: "Frankly speaking, given our talents, we hardly deserve entry into the Four Great Sects..."
"Unable to join the Four Great Sects directly..."
Mo Hua's delivery grew firm and unwavering, his eyes gleaming like distant stars, "we strive fiercely to elevate our own sect into the Four Great Sects!"
This proclamation rang like a tolling bell at dawn and dusk, shaking their cores profoundly.
The Taixu Gate disciples nearby sensed a pressure building in their hearts, followed by an unquenchable battle zeal exploding like wildfire from within.
Through our own labors, elevate the sect to the Four Great Sects!
Not just the disciples—even certain Taixu Sect Elders listening secretly from a distance stood dumbfounded.
Their pulses raced wildly.
Mo Hua's message applied equally to them.
In plain terms, they lacked the worth to step into the Four Great Sects as well.
Some faced barriers from kin ties, origins, lagging Cultivation, or sheer inadequacy, blocking the gates of the Four Great Sects.
Others remained Taixu Gate Elders across generations due to family oaths to the sect.
No matter their Cultivation heights, a trace of pride forbade abandoning lineage for the Four Great Sects.
The honor of "Four Great Sects Elder" would elude them forever.
But Mo Hua spoke truth.
If Taixu Gate ascended to the Four Great Sects...
These elders, once of the Eight Great Gates, could elevate instantly, becoming guardians of the Four Great Sects!
What fortune—this surpassed any divine intervention!
The Taixu Gate elders exchanged glances, faces etched with incredulity.
Even farther off, within the pavilion.
The Taixu Sect Master pondered deeply for an instant.
He too had been listening in secret.
After all, Mo Hua's abrupt assembly of numerous disciples stirred unease among the elders, and as Sect Leader, he monitored closely to prevent mishaps.
In this way, every word from Mo Hua reached his ears.
The Taixu Sect Master lingered in a daze, then sighed inwardly:
This youth Mo Hua possesses remarkable oratory, his words flowering like pure lotuses, stirring even me—a Sect Leader at the Feather Transformation Realm.
Indeed, should Taixu Gate truly claim a spot among the Four Great Sects.
I, the Taixu Sect Master, would ascend to lead one of the Four Great Sects.
A sudden, unforeseen rise to glory.
Naturally, he recognized Mo Hua's speech as inspiring rhetoric, with actual achievement far from simple.
If vying for the Four Great Sects positions proved so straightforward, would they hold such prestige?
