Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2200 Chapter 1028: Tumo Treasure Book

"Why can't I see through it..."

"Could there be some concealed trail from other Evil Gods here? Might that Mr. Tu fellow harbor even greater schemes?"

Mo Hua contemplated deeply for quite a while.

Yet the hints were far too scarce; at this point, he remained utterly clueless.

The Evil God's revival, Mr. Tu's vast ambition—it had likely spanned countless years.

Absent any concrete links, mere idle speculation from within his quarters wouldn't uncover real leads anyway.

Still, another matter piqued Mo Hua's curiosity intensely.

Mo Hua rested his chin on his hand, creased his forehead, and murmured to himself:

"Assuming that Duanmu Qing truly visited the Rouge Boat..."

"Then what exactly would she be doing on the Rouge Boat?"

"Indulging?"

"Indulging in what?"

From what he gathered now, the Rouge Boat served as an elite den of romance.

It dangled beauty as temptation, nobility as enticement, and authority as a stepping stone to draw in prodigies, build factions, and forge partnerships.

Simply put, those prodigies headed to the Rouge Boat to frolic with women.

But what about Duanmu Qing?

As a woman herself, it seemed improbable she'd head there to "indulge" with women... So did she... indulge with men?

Establish her personal "rear palace," harbor concubines, pamper handsome youths, drown in lavish debauchery?

"Tsk tsk-"

Mo Hua shook his head, overcome with感慨.

One should never judge solely by appearances...

A figure who projected an icy fairy-like demeanor outwardly, yet reveled in such wanton excess privately...

This realm truly held that the more radiant someone appeared, the darker their hidden vices might lurk beneath.

Nevertheless, this remained mere conjecture on his part.

He found it hard to confirm the truth of it.

There was little recourse; the social scene proved utterly tumultuous, with indulgences far too wild.

An innocent soul like himself simply couldn't envision the antics these noble heirs pursued in the Rouge Boat's hidden alcoves...

He yearned to discover now, but alas, it was already too late.

For he had already demolished the Rouge Boat.

As this dawned on him, Mo Hua abruptly trembled, suddenly recognizing an issue:

"In exploding the Rouge Boat, did I also destroy Duanmu Qing's handsome youths?"

"Would she seek my life over that?"

"Though, that doesn't quite add up...

"Initially, she showed no intent to slay me; it was only after I mentioned her "Taoist Heart had cracked" that she flew into a rage..."

"But why would that particular remark unsettle her so profoundly?"

Mo Hua wrinkled his brow extensively yet failed to grasp it.

This Duanmu Qing struck him as stunningly alluring, yet fiercely perilous, enigmatic, and somewhat unstable, rendering her profoundly inscrutable.

"I must exercise greater caution moving forward..."

"Duanmu Qing... along with the other three Qianxue prodigies, and..."

"Mr. Tu..."

Mo Hua nodded resolutely, his eyes profound, flickering with a keen glint.

Thereafter, he brushed off stray thoughts, composed his spirit, and delved once more into array studies.

The tangled affairs demanded gradual disentanglement.

Mastering arrays called for steadfast dedication, much like water eroding rock, and could not be forsaken.

With so many unknowns lingering, deeper array knowledge offered vital breathing room...

Mo Hua focused intently and resumed his array research.

His current array pursuits adhered to the earlier outline.

To begin with, deducing the Four Symbols Dragon Pattern.

Acquired amid perils in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he had assembled the shattered Four Symbols Monster Pattern fragments, revived the monster pattern origins, and thus rebuilt an intact "Dragon Pattern."

This reconstruction posed immense difficulty and demanded vast time, far from a quick feat.

Yet it profoundly enriched his grasp and application of the Four Symbols Formation.

Should he succeed in restoring a "Dragon" through his own prowess,

Then in some regard, he would attain proficiency surpassing typical Formation

Masters, sufficient to earn the title of Grandmaster in the Four Symbols Formation.

Hence, to Mo Hua, this deduction served as both learning and a profound insight plus elevation in arrays.

Besides, the Reversed Spirit Formation awaited.

Mo Hua had mastered the fundamentals of the Reversed Spirit Formation ages ago.

He had also initiated comprehending the Reversed Spirit

Formation's core principles long before.

Thus, the major "hurdle" in acquiring and dominating the Second-grade Reversed Spirit Formation barely troubled him.

However, minor obstacles arose relentlessly.

Inevitably, since this constituted a Second-grade Ultimate Array, hardly a simple study.

It necessitated unwavering practice and assiduous insight.

Only through ample dedication would mastery dawn naturally.

Mo Hua anticipated it eagerly.

Upon completely conquering the Reversed Spirit Formation, he would wield the might

of a Second-grade "Ultimate Array" authentically.

Empowered to deploy his Reversed Spirit Formation as the "spark," leveraging others' arrays as the "fuel," to ignite grander "displays."

Granted, those displays might not always erupt.

But the capacity to trigger such spectacles had to be there.

Mo Hua nodded affirmatively, then quelled wandering notions, steadied his focus, and immersed himself wholly in array research.

At present, he assaulted these two array varieties head-on: the Four Symbols

Dragon Formation and the Reversed Spirit Formation.

Both fell within the Ultimate Arrays domain.

Absorbing them drained energy, and drilling them proved grueling.

The whole endeavor stretched lengthy, arcane, and monotonous.

Shadowed by the perpetual rhythm of Divine Sense depletion and renewal, amid

relentless toil, repeated defeats, confronting obstacles, and intense reflection...

Yet Mo Hua embraced it with resolve.

Arrays offered no quick paths; this was the inevitable journey for all Formation Masters.

Furthermore, it led toward loftier array realms.

Exactly due to its formidable trials, it held incomparable value...

The following day, the sword discourse persisted.

Mo Hua provisionally shelved Duanmu Qing's enigma in his thoughts. He pressed on with studying the duo of Ultimate Arrays.

However, the sword discourse atmosphere intensified markedly. In particular, after mounting the sword discourse platform and falling to Duanmu Qing

from Wanxiao Sect, Taixu Gate's once "tenuous" narrow lead evaporated

immediately.

Room for errors shrank even further.

Daluo Sect surged back aggressively, closing in relentlessly.
