Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2110 Chapter 999: First Round 2

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument is this Heavenly Secret Treasure's name.

It serves as the "legacy" left behind by the ancestor of Mount of Tao.

Normally, this "Heaven Instrument" remains sealed, and it demands the assembly of sects from the Four Sects and Eight Gates Twelve Streams, where each must present their sect's Jade Token to activate it.

After activation, the names along with the teams of disciples from different sects

who join the Sword Discussion get inscribed on bamboo sticks before being inserted

into the Heaven Instrument.

Then, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument activates on its own,

organizing the sequence of matches for the Sword Discussion Conference based on the traditional sword discussion guidelines.

Such an approach blocks any attempts at manipulation and guarantees true fairness and impartiality.

Additionally, it shields against any external meddling, modifications, or predictions drawn from Heavenly Mechanism Causality forecasts.

As it functions under strict laws, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument features a compass path that shifts and turns without pause, displaying complex and enigmatic patterns.

Within it lies a deep beauty tied to the "Law of Causality."

Mo Hua felt his spirit surge with excitement, unable to tear his gaze away from the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

Regrettably, his proficiency in Heavenly Secret remained too basic, leaving him unable to make out any details.

Naturally, an item from the ancestor of Mount of Tao wouldn't allow him to uncover any real secrets so easily.

After an hour passed, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument came to a halt.

The simulation had finished.

Thus, the initial phase of the Sword Discussion, labeled as "Yellow" in the "Heavenly Secret Earthly Profound Yellow," stood confirmed.

Elders of each sect jotted down the match schedules onto Jade Slips and then withdrew from the stage.

The morning ritual for the swords and the drawing ceremony wrapped up.

The actual Sword Discussion was set to start that afternoon.

In the four-hour break that followed, the elders from Mount of Tao would organize the match orders and arenas for the Sword Discussion using the results from the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument's simulation.

Elder Xun Zixian also descended, rejoining the Taixu Gate disciples, and shared with them:

"The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument has finished simulating the list."

"I've sent the list to the Taixu Token; check it on your own and verify the match order is accurate."

Xun Zixian paused briefly before adding:

"In just a few hours, the real Sword Discussion will kick off. Give it your all, win or lose, it's all for Taixu Gate. Make the sect proud..."

Elder Xun Zixian, being a Formation Master, stayed precise and composed, rarely indulging in emotional words.

For him to express this much was truly noteworthy.

The disciples felt a touch of inspiration.

Still, while feelings stirred, their spirits hung a bit low.

Xun Zixian let out a quiet sigh, his eyes shifting toward Mo Hua.

With a single glance, Mo Hua grasped Elder Zixian's meaning, nodded right away, and moved forward to speak to the disciples:

"For the Sword Discussion ahead, don't overcomplicate things. Just head up and fight. A win is a massive triumph, a loss means nothing!"

The disciples froze for a second, then their gazes ignited with battle fervor.

Junior Brother had spelled out the strategy plain and simple—they just needed to step up and battle; no other worries required.

If they doubted their own abilities, couldn't they at least trust Junior Brother?

Securing even one victory counted as an amazing feat, and defeat brought no disgrace.

"Yes! Junior Brother!"

The disciples responded together, their shouts ringing out strong as their enthusiasm soared.

Mo Hua nodded, pleased with the result.

Xun Zixian watched Mo Hua, a bit stunned, then chuckled and shook his head.

Afterward, a four-hour window opened for getting ready.

Disciples either cultivated in meditation, scanned the list, or talked over plans, taking breaks to recover and swallowing a Fasting Pill if hunger struck.

As the Sword Discussion loomed near, fancy meals held no appeal.

With some free moments, Mo Hua settled close by, chewing on dried meat while going over the Sword Discussion schedule from the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument's simulation.

Upon review, he spotted certain problems.

The schedule didn't achieve complete "fairness."

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument avoided pure "randomness"; instead, it relied

on causality projections to pick out the genuine "top contenders."

It also aimed to guide these elite fighters toward reaching the Sword Discussion's conclusion.

As a result, it steered clear of forcing the Four Great Sects and Eight Great Gates' geniuses into fierce clashes during the "Yellow" opening round.

During the Yellow phase, participants from the Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, and Twelve Streams largely encountered foes from Qian Learning Hundred

Gates.

The chances of "seed-level" talents clashing stayed extremely low,

And even if such talents met, it changed little.

The "Yellow" round allowed plenty of leeway, so dropping one or two bouts wouldn't block progress.

Therefore, Taixu Gate faced no overwhelming odds.

But for typical disciples from Qian Learning Hundred Gates, pushing forward proved

tough.

This setup created a kind of imbalance.

Yet, seen another way, by choosing the mightiest cultivators and preventing teams from slipping through on mere chance or "fluke progress," it enforced a different

kind of equity rooted in "real power."

"Still, employing Heavenly Secret Calculations to gauge power and manipulate odds...the ancestor of Mount of Tao truly had a brilliant mind..."

Mo Hua whispered to himself inside.

Mo Hua reviewed his own match lineup and saw it placed quite far back, with his debut bout not until the day after next. Maybe the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument foresaw his fate, recognizing him as a "hidden expert," and wisely pushed his slot later...

Mo Hua pondered silently, giving a nod of approval.

Experts always save their grand entrance for the finale.

It fit perfectly.

Plus, his rivals consisted mainly of disciples from Qian Learning Hundred

Gates, appearing to offer scant danger.

This eased any pressure he felt.

"Observe today, battle the day after tomorrow..."

Mo Hua pulled out every piece of jerky he'd packed and devoured it all.

Once stuffed, he sat in meditation to recharge, ready to witness his Junior Brothers' displays.
