Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2192 Chapter 1025: All Blown Up (Part 2)

Even after the Sword Discussion wrapped up, the ripples from these happenings show no signs of stopping.

Inside the Mount of Tao.

The esteemed and relaxed Elders were hastily assembled.

Now, it's up to them to convene.

"The siege on the city ended with the city lost, the battlefield devastated, and reconstruction required..."

"That young one named Mo Hua appears so refined and obedient, yet his knack for stirring chaos is undeniably massive..."

"Most folks breach the city by merely repairing a gate. But he storms in and sends the whole thing sky-high."

"A reborn little harbinger of doom."

"I've overseen countless Sword Discussions, but never encountered anyone capable of unleashing this much mayhem..."

An Elder creased his brow in confusion, "I'm really not grasping how he managed to demolish the entire city using only three High-Rank Formations?"

"What sort of formation principle was at play here?"

"Did they inspect the location?"

"They did inspect it, but to no avail—the whole area vanished, everything obliterated, no remnants, zero hints."

"While sketching the Formation, that cunning youngster hid it under a cloth, so nobody saw his work."

"During the Formation's activation, a glimpse was visible, though incomplete and hazy."

"It resembled certain impressive yet not excessively wild Nineteen Patterns High-Rank Formations."

"Once the Formation detonated, visibility went to zero." All the Elders grew quiet.

An Elder skilled in formations from the Mount of Tao pondered aloud, "It appears... this youngster planned to employ the Killing Formation to shatter the gate, yet he unwittingly set off an imbalance in the city's high-rank formation structure, sparking a massive chain reaction explosion..."

An Elder grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Does that imply it's actually an issue stemming from our own Mount of Tao?"

"That our Formation lacked sufficient stability, hence the blast?"

"The youngster just committed an accidental error, rendering him blameless?"

"For the moment, that's the sole rationale..."

"No," an Elder's expression soured, "Setting that aside, shouldn't he bear some accountability?"

"He merely deployed formations during the siege—what blame could attach to him?" "You..."

The earlier Elder seethed with fury, unable to continue.

"Could it be possible..." An Elder knit his brows deeply, musing before speaking gradually, "that the youngster orchestrated it on purpose?"

"The blast location, the Five Elements' cycles of generation and overcoming, the Formation's framework, fluctuations in Spiritual Power... all were precisely figured out by him. His goal was to demolish the city wall and eliminate the Qian Taoist Sect disciples... considering he's the Qianxue Array Dao Leader, after all." Such a claim seemed rather far-fetched.

All the Elders creased their foreheads intensely, debating among themselves:

"However, under those conditions... the necessary Divine Sense Calculation prowess would be immense...

"Beyond that, an exceptionally advanced calculation technique would be essential..." "Grasp of formation principles... not merely superficial Formation designs, but a profound insight into core formation principles, must be extraordinarily deep."

"Such proficiency can't be gained in a short time."

"It's highly unlikely..."

"This surpasses the typical scope of formation knowledge for sect disciples. It even exceeds the capabilities of a Foundation Building Cultivator. Even as the Formation Leader, no such overblown acclaim is warranted..."

"True enough, this youngster is remarkably talented, but reaching that level feels improbable..."

"We're probably reading too much into it, fabricating extra intrigue around this kid..."

All the Elders concurred with nods, agreeing that it wasn't a deliberate scheme.

plot.

Another voice inquired, "So, what's our next move?"

An Elder responded, "The city stands in ruins, Taixu Gate emerged victorious, per the rules—what more is there to do?"

"I'm not referring to this particular siege battle, but those yet to come."

"Those in the future?"

"This instance was a fluke, but suppose another siege hits Taixu Gate and Mo Hua deploys the Killing Formation anew, obliterating the city yet again?"

All the Elders sensed a cold dread gripping them.

"Is it truly that dire? One mishap is possible, but twice?"

"A mishap carries uncertainty, but that doesn't rule it out."

"Suppose this kid genuinely holds unparalleled fortune?"

"Or, stretching the absurd even further, what if he actually harnesses exact Divine Sense computations for targeted explosions? That would signify...

"Every time he charges the city, he triggers a blast."

"As a Sword Discussion participant, he's dead set on victory by any method, that's certain."

that.

"We surely can't keep erecting cities just for his amusement in detonating them?"

Contemplating this, every Elder's mind throbbed with pain.

"So, what options remain?"

"If all else fails, reinforce the city walls with Third Grade formations; thus, regardless of his prowess, he'll only breach the gate without razing the wall."

no matter if he has three heads and six arms, he can only break the gate and

not destroy the wall.

"Third Grade formations... that violates the established protocols."

"Moreover, expenses would skyrocket several-fold, all subtracted from our funds..."

An Elder remarked, "Then what's the alternative? Facing such a troublemaker, we must resign ourselves... unless you'd prefer the upcoming Sword Discussion to witness yet another city explosion?"

city blown up?

All the Mount of Tao Elders found themselves at a loss for words.

Even as their faces revealed traces of bitterness.

An Elder sighed involuntarily, "Why must Taixu Gate spawn a Mo Hua like this, such a source of endless concern..."

Mo

Hua, truly worrisome...

Nevertheless, amid the bitterness, the regulations stood firm.

The Mount of Tao swiftly disseminated updated Sword Discussion rules to every sect:

From now on, during Sword Discussion city siege contests, every city wall shall employ Third Grade formations.

Moreover, they will be firmly secured to avert additional harm to the walls.

Ordinarily, Sword Discussion Conference directives remain unchanged, particularly those tied to the core Sword Discussion framework.

Yet, adjusting Sword Discussion setups based on immediate and regional conditions poses little problem.

Therefore, this became the inaugural instance in Sword Discussion Conference history where a single disciple's deeds prompted an official amendment to portions of the guidelines.
