Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2127 Chapter 1004: Qin Cangliu (Part 2)

The Fang Tian painting shadow serves only as a form of "projection" for the scene. Regardless of its clarity, some level of distortion is always present.

Viewers beyond the arena maintain a complete view of events.

Through the warped lens of the painting shadow, observers witness Mo Hua unleashing the

Fireball Technique, yet relying solely on eyesight makes it hard to grasp the true essence of this fireball.

They merely sense faintly that this Fireball Technique carries an unusual quality.

Still, the majority of cultivators refuse to regard it with importance.

In particular, those who had already shown bias toward Mo Hua and nursed ill intentions were quick to express scorn:

"What's remarkable about the Fireball Technique? Behaving like nobody else can pull it off..."

"It's nothing more than a basic Fireball Technique; no matter how you embellish it, so what? Doesn't it remain just a Fireball Technique?"

"In my view, those fools from the Spirit Talisman Sect are nothing but posers—getting trapped by this Fireball Technique is downright ridiculous..." "Isn't it simply hurling a Fireball Technique? I could manage that myself..."

Amid the gathering, Gu Changhuai brushes off such comments with contempt.

He focuses intently on the Fang Tian painting shadow, pondering Mo Hua's prior display of the Fireball Technique...

And recalling the initial incident in the thatched hut beyond Qingzhou City, where over a dozen human traffickers met their end via the Fireball Technique before being incinerated to ash to "eliminate traces," he couldn't suppress a twitch in his brow and let out a resigned sigh:

"This youngster really knows how to keep things under wraps..."

The sword exchange against the Spirit Talisman Sect has now wrapped up.

Talk surrounding Mo Hua has for the moment subsided.

No one could claim Mo Hua lacks any value.

He possesses utility, though limited in scope.

Its extent likely equates to the value of several Fireball Techniques.

The general view of Mo Hua evolved from seeing him as a total waste and burden as the Crown Prince of Taixu Gate to...

"A Formation Master skilled in the Fireball Technique."

Beyond Mount of Tao.

Mo Hua and Linghu Xiao, having straightened their attire and set off back to the Sect, encountered a group from the Spirit Talisman Sect once more after merely a short distance.

Leading the pack remained Wu Ming.

Resentment filled his face, blending fury, as his spirit armor shimmered with red light, standing out like a "crestfallen rooster."

Wu Ming fixed his gaze sharply on the group, zeroing in on Mo Hua in particular.

His earlier grudge targeted Linghu Xiao.

But now, after getting "smacked" by the Fireball Technique and facing mockery, that grudge had fully transferred.

"Mo Hua..." he grumbled the name, feeling humiliated and grinding his teeth slightly:

"Without you ambushing me with the Fireball Technique, I wouldn't have lost."

"Without your interference, Linghu Xiao would have fallen to me already...

"I'll keep you in mind—just you wait..."

Having vented those bitter threats, he stormed off.

Mo Hua creased his brow in confusion, glanced toward Linghu Xiao, and asked with curiosity:

"Though I did blast his face with the Fireball Technique, your sword skills were what truly bested him in the end. You claimed victory over him—why direct his resentment at me?"

Linghu Xiao struggled to respond and stayed quiet.

"Likely... he'd rather perish to a mighty sword than suffer shame from a Fireball Technique?" Situ Jian proposed.

In prodigy sword discussions, falling to the Chongxu Sword—the authentic Sword Art of a Sword Dao prodigy—carries a tragic yet noble air of honorable defeat.

Yet losing to a Fireball Technique during a prodigy sword clash... Thinking it over brings only a "feeling of ridiculousness."

"That can't be..." Mo Hua furrowed his brows, "Countless Taoist Skills boast strengths and weaknesses alike; their true use depends on intent."

"That's the principle, yet a Fireball Technique remains merely a Fireball Technique..." Situ Jian murmured.

Mo Hua shook his head with gravity, "You mustn't dismiss the Fireball Technique

as some trivial spell... I'll demonstrate to everyone that the Fireball Technique holds real power

as a spell!"

Mo Hua appeared resolute, intent on upholding the honor of the "Fireball

Technique."

After all, it was the initial offensive spell personally passed down by Old Kui to him—the

Fireball Technique.

He refused to let anyone belittle the Fireball Technique!

"Head back to the Sect and gear up for the plan in the upcoming sword discussion!"

Mo Hua commanded, departing with a stern look.

Situ Jian observed Mo Hua's retreating figure and let out a quiet sigh.

A nagging foreboding lingered in his mind.

This Wu Ming represented only the initial "foe" choked "to death" by his Junior

Brother.

Merely the start; Junior Brother hadn't even pushed to his limits.

The real stifling tactics lay ahead.

Continuing down this path, by the sword discussion's close, countless additional "enemies" might pile up...

Back at Taixu Gate, Mo Hua took some time to recover before diving into schemes for the following sword discussion.

His forthcoming rival in the enigmatic matchup hails from the Eight Great

Gates.

Yet this Sect's title proves rather unexpected...

Gui Water Sect.

Mo Hua displayed thoughtfulness.

Gui Water Sect, once part of the Twelve Sects and evolved from the old Water

Prison Sect, stood at the center of the Rouge Boat scandal—breaching Taoist Law and Qianxue doctrines, covertly dabbling in illicit trades, steeped in moral decay, and ultimately purged by the Taoist Court.

These days, Gui Water Sect's leadership down to its rank-and-file disciples has seen a "total overhaul."

Post-overhaul, the lifeblood coursing through Gui Water Sect belongs to "Court Officials," tying straight to the core "Taoist Court."

The prior Taoist Conference marked the debut of such Sect restructuring.

Tai'a Sect and Rushing Void Sect dropped in standings, forced to consolidate with Taixu

Gate, thereby opening two slots in the Eight Great Gates.

One slot went to "Gui Water Sect" from the Twelve Streams.

The remaining slot also fell to a familiar face.

Sever Gold Sect...

Formerly among the Twelve Sects, centered on the Sever Gold Sword Control Jue

as its foundational legacy, its followers had clashed with Mo Hua time and again—even post the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons event, Sever Gold Sect's internal shifts brought a fresh purge. Ties between Mo Hua and Sever Gold Sect delve profoundly.
