Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2202 - 1028: Tumo Treasure Book (3)

"Guard against every one of his plots..." Hold on a second.

Mo Hua felt quite dissatisfied.

Biases in folks' minds are truly like towering peaks.

It's just too much that a straightforward person like me gets labeled as "cunning"...

Luckily, the "Schemes Section" doesn't contain a lot of writing, indicating it's only a fringe view, a prejudice that's not worth much heed.

Mo Hua pressed on with his reading.

The "Magic Techniques Section" proved to be quite thorough, cataloging all the basic Five Elements spells Mo Hua had employed during the Sword Discussion Conference up to now.

It even included some rare and specialized incantations that Mo Hua had thrown out offhandedly and then forgotten, all captured in this "guidebook."

Each incantation came with notes on how to defend against it.

As these were minor spells, they received little emphasis; most got summed up in a single line.

The real standouts were the Fireball Technique and the Water Prison Technique.

In particular, the Fireball Technique stood out.

The descriptions brimmed with alerts: "Watch out for the Fireball Technique!", "Stay alert to the Fireball Technique’s killer strike!", "Prefer death over disgrace, keep that in mind!"

After the Water Prison Technique came a rundown of its risks, along with runes, spiritual artifacts, and spell weaknesses that could break it.

Plus remarks such as, "The Water Prison Technique is revolting," "Endure ten Earth Prison Skills rather than a single Water Prison Technique."

Though it's unknown who penned these lines.

Mo Hua could faintly detect the "grinding of teeth" in fury and agony seeping through the words.

Next, the Concealment Techniques got listed too, packed with numerous warnings.

Covering the roots of his Concealment Technique, varieties of hiding methods, ways to shatter the hide, pursuit tactics, and optimal moments for deploying spiritual artifacts...

Meanwhile, one entry stated:

"Stay vigilant against Mo Hua's obvious hiding tricks meant to mislead, or you'll end up as a 'total idiot,' don't forget."

Mo Hua felt baffled.

Total idiot? Which one?

Once the "Magic Techniques Section" wrapped up, the "Movement Techniques Section" followed.

This part came across as far more "expert."

An individual had picked apart and analyzed Mo Hua’s movement skills, each step, and etched them into the jade slip.

Dissecting them step by step.

It even pointed out certain weaknesses in the movement skills.

These probably came from reviewing shadow recordings, carefully studied and mapped out.

Every gesture and shift in the skills got examined in such detail, as though even the skin's tiniest details had been inspected.

Their vision must have strained to the limit.

Mo Hua let out a breath, without too much worry.

Since movement techniques represent a core strength.

Even if opponents learn his patterns and spot his vulnerabilities, unless their own movements match in speed, finesse, and quality, they won't lay a hand on him.

Plus, the solid base of Mo Hua’s Water Passing Step stems from precise and robust divine sense command.

Simply cracking a few "steps" won't make a real difference.

So, this "Movement Techniques Section," while appearing in-depth, amounts to just "theoretical chatter," nothing to dread.

Yet the "Formation Techniques Section" packed with the most material poses a real challenge.

Mo Hua skimmed a couple of lines and his brow furrowed right away.

Just as he figured, this targeted his array setups directly, using real sword bouts to mimic fights and craft defense plans.

So far, his deployment of advanced arrays in fights had been scarce.

Certain tactics he had kept under wraps.

By rights, there wouldn't be ample data to draw from.

The problem lies in this being the Qian Learning State Boundary, brimming with sects, not just talented youths but also countless elders boasting deep Dao cultivation wisdom.

Surely, plenty of array-savvy elders dwell among them.

Mo Hua's array usage provides scant fodder.

Thus, these elders drew on their expertise and past encounters to model and infer.

Outlining contest guidelines, specifying landscapes, pairing foes, then leaning on their vast array knowledge, the basics of second-grade arrays, and Mo Hua’s array tendencies, they "recreated" the sword discussion fight scenes.

This recreation explores a ton of scenarios.

For starters, Mo Hua masters an enormous array of formation types.

Also, varying rules, landscapes, and rivals spark diverse fight progressions, with arrays applied in multiple ways.

In any given sword discussion, which array Mo Hua might deploy, its placement spots, and the telltale markers to spot.

Ways to remain cautious, to sense, to probe arrays, to strike at them... and so on.

The details inside are way too intricate.

And the Sword Discussion Conference moves at a frantic pace.

Hence, pulling off such broad modeling and reasoning can't be done by a handful of array elders in little time.

It has to be a whole team of elders, laboring around the clock, burning through heaps of divine sense, investing tons of work, charting out countless fight cases, and devising counters to boil it all down to:

The "Guidelines for Handling Mo Hua’s Formation Techniques Section."

Mo Hua felt genuine admiration.

These array elders are seriously impressive.

At the same time, he found it ridiculous.

These array elders from the Qian Learning State Boundary's sects are seriously idle...

As esteemed array elders across various sects in the Qian Learning State Boundary, do they really need to zero in on a mere Foundation Establishment disciple like myself?

Isn't their divine sense valuable?

Even if divine sense isn't that valuable, they ought to watch their hair...

Divine sense recovers after exhaustion.

But lost hair might not return.

The body, flesh, and bones come from one's parents, aligning with the Heavenly Dao.

Even as cultivators, hair doesn't sprout on demand; if it did, bald cultivators wouldn't exist...

Mo Hua felt a pang of sympathy and couldn't stop sighing.

The fellow disciples, seeing this crammed, lucid guidebook brimming with untold labor, were struck deeply in their cores too.
