Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2135 Chapter 1007: Support

"If things keep going this way, our ranking will sink even lower. We have to come up with a plan..."

Mo Hua thought for a bit before pulling up the roster for the Sword Discussion Conference. He noticed that over the upcoming dozens of sword discussion rounds, the toughest rival for Taixu Gate in the Xuan Character Bureau turned out to be...

the Sever Gold Sect.

The Gui Water Sect and the Sever Gold Sect both rank among the freshly emerged Eight Great Gates.

Thus, they serve as the "goalkeepers" for the Eight Great Gates. It's common for them to run into the Xuan Character Bureau often. Moving forward, every Taixu Gate disciple would face the Sever Gold Sect in at least one-third of all those Xuan Character sword discussions.

Contemplation flickered in Mo Hua's eyes.

The Sever Gold Sect was truly an longstanding foe...

Back when they first stepped into the Demon Hunting Mountain, Mo Hua and his junior brothers had their initial run-in with the Sever Gold Sect's disciples.

Over that time, they'd traded plenty of clashes.

The tangled resentments were far too intricate to sum up quickly.

A slight spark lit up in Mo Hua's eyes.

But dealing with the Sever Gold Sect made things far simpler.

His earlier devised "Gold-Cutting Armor" could see use once more. And that wasn't all.

Mo Hua now held two key inheritances from the Sever Gold Sect.

The Sever Gold Sword Control Jue and the Gold-Cutting Sword Formation—both had their "Sword Dao Laws" pulled out and woven into his Divine Thought's sword form.

Though in actual combat, his Sever Gold Sword Qi barely registered,

inside the domain of Divine Thought, his grasp of the Sever Gold Sword Laws ran extraordinarily deep.

To put it another way, the Sever Gold Sect's core legacy—at least everything up to Foundation Establishment—lay fully within Mo Hua's control.

Leveraging these inheritances to refine the "Gold-Cutting Armor" and forge a "Sever Gold Sword" would boost his odds against Sever Gold Sect disciples by no less than twenty percent.

With their core legacy clutched by him, a Formation Master, the Sever Gold Sect had little hope of prevailing.

"No wonder folks say that when a sect's legacy leaks out, it sparks endless woes..."

Mo Hua gave a nod of agreement.

At this point, he had become the Sever Gold Sect's ultimate "counter."

Next, Mo Hua set to refining the "Sever Gold Sword" and creating the "Breaking Gold Sword," tailored squarely against the Sever Gold Sect.

Yet after scheming briefly, Mo Hua found his mind drifting to one individual.

He scanned the Sword Discussion list repeatedly and at last spotted a

name—

Song Jian.

Ever since the chaos in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the Sever Gold Sect had plunged into disarray, marked by shifts in power, the Jin family's collapse, the Song family's ascent, and a slew of follow-up troubles. Mo Hua had been swamped and lost touch with Song Jian.

But now, with the Sword Discussion Conference pitting them against the Sever Gold Sect once more...

Mo Hua mulled it over and dispatched a message to Song Jian.

The pair shared a custom Letter Token.

Mo Hua had snagged it via Gu Changhuai's connections from the Taoist Court's stores.

Once he had it, Mo Hua, not fully satisfied, tweaked the Magnetic Patterns on his own to ensure safe exchanges.

Between Xuan Character sword discussions, disciples typically got a full day to recuperate and gear up for the fights.

Mo Hua just so happened to have that day open.

The following day, Mo Hua headed to the Refining Demon Mountain, to a quiet

patch of woods.

This spot was their set rendezvous.

Mo Hua perched in a tree, growing restless as he waited ages until Song Jian showed up tardily, slipped into the woods, and glanced about like some sneak.

Mo Hua let out a whistle.

Song Jian glanced upward, spotted Mo Hua, and exhaled in relief,

then deployed his movement skill to bound up to a tree

branch in moments, settling across from Mo Hua.

"What do you need from me?"

Song Jian inquired.

Years later, Song Jian stood taller, his features more gaunt, yet his skin tone had improved.

Having weathered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons ordeal, he'd grasped the perils of the world and the depths of human nature, lending his bearing a steadier air.

Still, facing Mo Hua stirred some discomfort in him.

After all, Mo Hua's feats in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons had etched themselves indelibly in his memory, unforgettable even now.

"You joining the sword discussion soon?" Mo Hua cut right to it without beating around the bush.

"Yeah..." Song Jian gave a faint nod.

"I'll lend you a hand with something," Mo Hua stated. "Got any rivals or foes in your sect? Point them out, and I'll help you 'hold them down'

a little."

"You'll help me?" Song Jian blinked in surprise.

"What else?" Mo Hua replied as though it were obvious.

Song Jian creased his brow. "Is there... some angle here?"

In any scheme, he stood no chance outwitting Mo Hua.

So it was wiser to lay it out straight and get the facts.

Mo Hua affirmed with a nod. "Just a minor favor... Give me the full rundown on your opponents—their cultivation methods, standout sword techniques, quirks in their style, hidden aces they might play..."

Song Jian had never witnessed such outright cheek, with Mo Hua flat-out urging him to "sell out" his own sect so directly.

"That doesn't feel quite proper..." Song Jian hedged politely.

"What's improper about it?" Mo Hua countered. "The Sword Discussion Conference

goes beyond just the onstage duels—offstage intel work matters too."

"Scouting info counts as battle prep."

"Surely your Sever Gold Sect's been digging for dirt on Taixu

Gate disciples as well?"

Song Jian dipped his head without a word.

He couldn't deny the plain fact.

Ahead of sword discussions, mutual scouting was standard,

and the Sever Gold Sect's tactics might even outdo Mo Hua's in slyness.

"Precisely," Mo Hua pressed on. "Truth is, I've already got counters ready for your Sever

Gold Sect—this intel would just polish things up..."

That rang true enough.

With the Sever Gold Sect's prime sword formation fallen to Mo Hua,

this formation prodigy, it spelled major misfortune already.

He sought this intel merely to lock in total victory.

Securing it would be a bonus, but lacking it wouldn't derail much.

It'd simply make the wins a tad tougher, nothing more.

Song Jian had taken too many hits from Mo Hua, recognized his prowess, and harbored no doubts about what he could pull off.
