Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2119 Chapter 1002: Sword Discussion of the Profound Group

The early morning light bathed Mount of Tao.

A vast assembly of disciples from all sects converged, resembling a boundless sea of figures.

Elders of the Four Sects and Eight Gates presented the Sect's Command Tokens, and with the Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects overseeing, they cast bamboo slips into the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument. Following a cycle of seclusion and calculation of the celestial mysteries, the sword discussion roster for the Xuan Character Bureau was settled.

Elders from various sects duplicated the roster, then withdrew, guiding their disciples to return to the sect.

In the Yellow Character Bureau, serving as the initial contest, numerous disciples joined, the timetable was packed, and the duration was tight, so lot-drawing occurred in the morning, while fights commenced in the afternoon.

Upon entering the Xuan Character Bureau, post the initial screening, merely one-tenth of the sword discussion squads persisted, and the participant count dwindled sharply, allowing the schedule some flexibility.

The day marked the lot-drawing, with the formal sword discussion set for tomorrow.

Furthermore, the Xuan Character sword discussion format would shift, foes would grow tougher, and combat dynamics would turn more intricate, as the disciples' challenges in the Sword Discussion Conference began to heat up in earnest.

As such, prior to every battle round, intervals were allocated for participants to deliberate tactics and devise plans.

Inside Taixu Gate, amidst the Great Dao Fields.

The Xuan Character Bureau roster had arrived.

Mo Hua gripped the Taixu Token, scrutinizing the roster with focus, his eyes reflecting profound contemplation.

The Taixu Gate squads progressing to the Xuan Character Bureau numbered around fifty teams, featuring an elimination ratio of eighty to ninety percent.

This indicated that about eighty to ninety percent of the disciples had wrapped up their path in the Sword Discussion Conference; they were limited to the Yellow Character Bureau, engaging in roughly ten matches, concluding their only opportunity for sword discussion in this life. Such an elimination percentage was notably milder than in other sects. Moreover, given the substantial disciple base at Taixu Gate today, the sect claimed a strong edge in the opening stages, clinching the top spot in sword discussion.

Mo Hua cast a look at the nearby disciples.

The ousted ones harbored reluctance and sorrow yet avoided despair.

They poured their utmost into the effort, playing a key role in boosting Taixu Gate's sword discussion standings.

Taixu Gate's present lead in sword discussion had been built gradually through their endeavors.

The outcomes of future sword discussion phases stayed unpredictable at this point.

Yet the existing success stemmed not from the dominant might of a "Heavenly Pride," but from the hard-fought efforts of these many, modestly capable regular disciples, clashing with swords and sabers.

Mo Hua abruptly halted, lost in reflection.

"In this realm, being and nothingness interlink, hard and simple interchange, power and frailty relate..."

"Where strength exists, weakness follows; where weakness lies, strength emerges..."

"With Heavenly Pride disciples present, 'ordinary' disciples exist too, appearing unremarkable beside 'Heavenly Pride.'"

"Heavenly Pride possess might, while ordinary disciples lack it..."

"Heavenly Pride number few, ordinary disciples abound."

"Should... utmost cohesion be realized, tapping fully into the force of ordinary disciples, everyday cultivators, even most low-level ones across the cultivation world—doesn't this allow 'gathering the feeble to overcome the mighty,' transforming frailty into triumph against power?"

"Amassing sufficient cultivators, the might turns overwhelming, capable of reshaping the heavens and earth for real..."

Mo Hua's stare grew intent.

A flash of insight about being and nothingness coexisting, power and frailty inverting, Eryi's shifts in mutual generation and restraint ignited within his mind.

The idea of 'building frailty to topple might' resembled a 'spark of flame,' hidden deep in his core, akin to a subtle glow illuminating a dim, hidden trail.

Over the Taoist Field, Elder Xun Zixian had planned to speak, but spotting Mo Hua in this 'daze,' he naturally withheld his words, wary of interrupting.

After an indefinite span, Mo Hua lifted his head, his gaze deep, eyes shining, like a wavering lantern flame in darkness, faintly striking.

Xun Zixian observed and felt startled.

"This kid... what insight has struck him now?"

With exceptional Divine Sense, remarkable aptitude, sharp awareness, acute perception, and deeper observation, comprehension, and pondering, epiphanies on worldly phenomena or Great Dao truths come more readily.

He had seen Mo Hua enter such 'epiphany' trances several times before.

Truth be told, Xun Zixian felt profound jealousy inside.

This instance, though, Xun Zixian sensed a distinct vibe.

As though Mo Hua's realization this round touched on something extraordinary. The subtle 'firelight' in his gaze hinted at a touch of... 'audacity'? Xun Zixian shook his head, seeing Mo Hua recover, then steadied himself, cleared his throat, and delved into the sword discussion topic:

"The prior Yellow Character Bureau sword discussion was merely the opener, featuring a straightforward free-for-all pattern!"

"The Xuan Character Bureau varies greatly."

"In the Xuan Character Bureau, diverse sword discussion modes blend together, randomized and computed by the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument."

"Every round differs."

"The precise mode stays hidden until six hours prior to the sword discussion..."

A disciple asked puzzled, "Elder, why not settle the mode sooner?"

Other disciples agreed, "Yes, that would let us ready ourselves better ahead."

Xun Zixian countered, "As you venture through the cultivation world later, if foes aim to slay you, do they warn you first for preparation?" "Or, commanding Taoist soldiers in combat and facing a surprise attack, would you demand a pause to plot your duel strategy?"

The disciples fell quiet.

Xun Zixian went on, "From the sword discussion's origins, the mode was unveiled at the final moment to hone disciples' flexibility."

"Be it offense, defense, slaying, fleeing, beheading, or enduring..."

they demand rapid choices from you.

"Given your status as disciples, with scant exposure to dire, life-or-death clashes..."
