Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2150 Chapter 1012: A Visitor
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
In the dead of night.
Daoist Law Elders from numerous sects convened anew.
The grand hall remained unchanged.
The Elders stayed the same.
Upon the shadow-capturing screen, Mo Hua appeared once more.
Yet this round's contest differed entirely.
The "targets" varied as well.
The screen displayed Mo Hua, hidden within a modest thicket, playfully taunting five Longding Sect disciples.
Each of those five from the Longding Sect clutched a Peeping Mirror.
Yet the mirrors revealed absolutely nothing.
The five exchanged baffled glances, resembling five "complete idiots"...
"Shi Tiangang got falsely blamed; it's not that he's all muscle and no mind, failing to pierce the hiding; instead, this Mo Hua kid's Concealment Technique is truly odd..."
"The Peeping Mirror showing zilch... suggests this hiding spell's foundation strays from standard legacies."
"So, what kind is it? Light Invisibility, Spirit Concealment, Visual Concealment, Five-colored Concealment, Five Elements Concealment, or Eight Trigrams Concealment Technique?"
"This... from afar via the shadow-capturing screen, it's tough to tell..."
"Only by standing right there, feeling the aura, or probing with Divine Sense, could one separate real from fake..."
"Mount of Tao boasts a fifth-grade large formation that blocks all outside Spiritual Power meddling and Divine Sense snooping, rendering our remote checks impossible..."
The fifth-grade large formation sealed off the exterior completely.
Such isolation from the large formation shielded Sect Disciples, letting them deploy sect Cultivation Techniques, elite Daoist Magic, and certain obscure legacies in the sword discussion without crafty, high-level cultivators swiping them via Divine Sense scans, Law Calculation, causal reverse tracing, or other sneaky tricks.
After all, the Qianxue Debate brimmed with top talents. Their knowledge drew from premium Daoist Repositories.
Should anyone pilfer it via "sensing," "reverse tracing," or "calculation," it would spark nonstop chaos.
Thus, these Daoist Law Elders couldn't yet unravel the secrets of Mo Hua's Concealment Technique.
"Does Taixu Gate possess some special hiding legacy?"
"From what I know, they shouldn't..."
"Then his Concealment Technique must stem from some origin, no?"
"Across the Qianxue State Boundary, any sect focused on hiding arts?"
"Some existed once, but most faded away; nowadays, no sect dedicates itself purely to such Concealment Techniques—it's far too niche..." "So the current approach is testing various shadow-breaking spiritual artifacts?" As Cultivation World arts advanced, artifact forging split into finer categories.
Spiritual Artifacts came in diverse forms.
Shadow-breaking Spiritual Artifacts branched into multiples, tailored to varying hiding principles and approaches.
Some shattered Spirit Concealment, others Water Concealment, Color Concealment, Light Concealment... and more.
Rare, specialized, and uncommon Concealment Techniques rarely passed down, proved tough to master, with scarce users, seldom bumping into them.
Hence, the Cultivation World favored "broad" shadow-breaking spiritual artifacts.
For instance, the Peeping Mirror wielded by Longding Sect disciples fell into this broad category, boasting a superior grade to boot.
Typically, even rare Concealment Techniques would yield to the Longding Sect disciples' Peeping Mirror; total blankness was unheard of.
But Mo Hua stood apart.
His Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill, refined over countless years and bolstered by vast hiding know-how, had turned impeccable. Particularly now, with his Divine Thought hitting Core Formation, the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill transformed deeply, edging toward flawless mastery.
Thus, without a pinpoint, elite shadow-breaking spiritual artifact aimed at the Five Elements, his hiding proved unbreakable.
"But testing them one after another..." an Elder scowled, "How much time would that eat up?"
"A five-man squad, each bearing a distinct shadow-breaking spiritual artifact type, each scans him once—it won't drag on; we'll pinpoint it quick...
"What if he skips the hiding?"
"This kid's sharp; if he smells trouble, he'll definitely 'play it safe' and might ditch his concealment...
"No hiding, then what's the point of scanning him?"
"Then craft strategies, launch a surround, compel him to hide, and seize the chance to deploy artifacts against his concealment..."
"Is all this hassle worth it, just to zero in on one disciple—no, on a lone spell of his?"
"With such strategies, such artifact picks, if they clash badly from the start,
victory's off the table."
"I said it already: it's not for winning, but nailing down this kid's Concealment Technique lineage."
"So you're saying... strategically forfeit a few bouts in the Mystical Character
Sword Discussion, handing points to Taixu Gate?"
"No choice."
"But this is Mystical Character Sword Discussion—fewer bouts each go,
just squandering them like this?"
"No risk, no gain."
"The issue's, whose risk to take, whose gain to chase?"
"Who faces Taixu Gate in the upcoming sword discussion rounds?"
"Xuanqi Sect, Sever Gold Sect, and Lingxiao Sect..."
"Xuanqi Sect and Sever Gold Sect are manageable, but Lingxiao Sect—that's a tough nut...
"Nothing's too tough; sweeten the pot more, though each sect pays a price...
The Elders fell quiet, clearly wavering.
"You lot may not grasp how grave this is yet...
The lead Elder grew grave, "Don't dismiss this Concealment Technique lightly; it could prove thornier than imagined...
"This rare hiding, combined with his exceptional Divine Sense and impeccable Five Elements Spell command, in certain ways, truly achieves 'invincibility.'"
"Especially in beheading bouts, it's practically unbeatable."
"Fail to pierce his hiding, and victory's impossible."
"If we don't scheme early, should it reach the Earth Character Round, or
worse the Heaven Character Round, it'll spell disaster." "Wins in the Earth Character and Heaven Character Rounds carry
immense weight."
