Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2107 - 998: Sect Taoist Soldiers (3)

Even the Sect Leader was successfully invited by Young Master Mo...

A rush of respect and thanks flooded Master Gu for Mo Hua, as he personally led Mo Hua and his friends to the borders of Solitary Mountain City.

Once back at the sect, the Taixu Sect Master mulled over Mo Hua's suggestion.

Mo Hua's concept was without a doubt excellent.

Yet the expenses required were truly steep...

In a flash of insight moments later, he gathered the sect leaders from Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu, where the trio talked things over briefly.

Following their talk, the Taixu Sect Master called for Mo Hua:

"I've consulted with the sect leaders from Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu..."

Mo Hua's gaze sparkled with realization, grasping it right away, "So the Three Mountains are pooling resources together?"

The Taixu Sect Master hesitated briefly.

This kid was exceptionally sharp; from merely a handful of phrases, Mo Hua had pieced it all together.

"That's correct, though it's more complicated than that," the Taixu Sect Master explained. "They insist on witnessing the outcomes beforehand."

Given the vast number of Spirit Stones at stake, caution gripped everyone, with most preferring to judge based on direct evidence.

Mo Hua got the point and gave a nod, replying: "I understand, Sect Leader. Rest assured."

Thus, come the following day, Mo Hua set up a quick training session.

During this drill, a thick throng of disciples slipped into fresh Taoist Robes and protective gear, gripping matching Spiritual Artifacts, carrying out maneuvers in precise, synchronized motions.

They had begun to mirror genuine Taoist Soldiers.

These once-relaxed disciples now grouped into five-person units, piercing the woods like keen "spears," shifting forward and back smoothly while striking with ferocity.

Besides that, certain specialized squads stood out.

For example, a quintet of robust body cultivators, armored up and shield-bearing, stood like five unyielding iron peaks, exuding an overwhelming presence on sight.

Another group of five disciples wore wind-attuned Taoist Robes and donned swift step shoes, darting rapidly across the meadows.

Likewise, five sword cultivators in lightweight armor brandished massive Giant Swords, slashing at any target in view.

Such Spiritual Artifacts and array setups could be swapped freely.

The protective gear ranged from Gold Armor to Water Armor, Fire Armor, and beyond...

Paired with them were Spiritual Artifacts like Gold Sword, Wood Sword, Water Sword, Fire Sword, among others.

The leaders of the Taixu, Taia, and Chongxu sects perched on the viewing stand, watching these displays in quiet, remaining wordless for quite some time.

The Taixu Sect Master was already aware of the details.

Still, watching his Taixu sect's disciples equip armor, handle Spiritual Artifacts, align in formations, and maneuver cohesively left him in awe despite himself.

Taia and Chongxu's sect leaders maintained outward composure, yet inner shock stirred within them.

As experienced leaders, they recognized the immense challenge in coordinating something like this.

Let alone the expertise in formations, the finesse of artifact forging, and the hefty production expenses.

Binding these arrogant disciples into seamless five-man wholes, fully responsive to orders—this demanded tremendous effort.

It bordered on creating "Sect Taoist Soldiers"...

Even if these sect Taoist Soldiers were only in their early stages.

And the core strength of Taoist Soldiers lay in collective might overwhelming foes.

In the demonstration, the featured disciples ranked average in talent and skill among the sect, but their teamwork elevated their fighting prowess dramatically.

That aspect proved the most alarming.

It indicated a profound "shift" in the overall prowess of the sect's disciples, starting from the roots.

When it came to elite combat levels, they might not rival the Four Great Sects.

However, the foundational power proved extraordinarily robust.

A subtle but fierce glimmer of optimism ignited in all three sect leaders, compelling one shared notion they couldn't shake:

Might this Sword Discussion Conference truly promise remarkable success?

Not long after, the Taia Sect Leader declared:

"Taia Mountain will cover the costs for these items."

"Mount Chongxu will contribute too."

The Taixu Sect Master nodded, pleased with the outcome.

...

Meanwhile, Mo Hua also nodded with contentment.

His master had warned that a standout tree in the woods invites the storm's fury.

To thrive unseen demands "blending into the woods."

Should the woods lack sufficient cover, he would forge an expansive woodland of his own.

Mo Hua looked down at the scene, where lines of Golden Armor shone brilliantly, spears and blades rang out, and Taixu sect disciples showcased majestic might, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

...

With the Spirit Stones secured and the Spiritual Artifacts plus formation tools prepared, all was set.

Mo Hua himself inscribed some of the advanced Formation Patterns onto the Spiritual Artifacts.

The remaining work got help from Inner Gate senior brothers and sisters, plus guidance from teachers and elders.

In the haste, preparations came together smoothly.

The Sword Discussion Conference would kick off at last the next day.

Back at the Disciple’s Residence.

Mo Hua went over every detail from beginning to end, ensuring no big mistakes, and at last relaxed.

The Sword Discussion awaited tomorrow.

Taixu Gate stood ready to clash formally against the Four Sects and Eight Gates, Twelve Streams, and even the Qian Learning Hundred Gates.

He could end up joining in.

A bit of unease tugged at Mo Hua, yet upon reflection, he found little cause for worry—it was merely a bout, nothing more.

Winning would thrill, losing... well, no lives hung in the balance.

Mo Hua settled his nerves and resumed his formation practice.

This formed his daily routine.

Regardless of circumstances, his advancement in formation arts remained unstoppable.

Any spare moment, be it just sketching one array or pattern, he seized it to delve deeply into formations with focus.

Formations offered no quick paths.

Gains in formations stemmed from steady, unwavering repetition.

These days, Mo Hua, bearing the Divine Thought Core Formation, tackled formations far beyond the ordinary.

Whether the Thunder Magnetic Absolute Formation, the Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, or rebuilding the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Diagram using twenty-one patterns—each would stun onlookers beyond belief.
