Mo Hua examines a detailed jade slip manual compiled by his opponents, outlining countermeasures against his schemes, magic techniques like the Fireball and Water Prison, concealment methods, and movement arts. The most extensive section dissects his formation techniques through simulated combat scenarios deduced by numerous elders from various sects. Impressed by their thoroughness yet exasperated by the excessive effort targeting a mere Foundation Establishment disciple, Mo Hua sighs at the lengths to which his rivals have gone.

Cheng Mo burst out, "Junior Brother, you've got real influence."

"Throughout all the sword discussion gatherings, I've never come across 'rules' made just to go after one specific disciple."

The crowd all agreed with nods, "Junior Brother, you're really the 'Sword Discussion Champion'."

"First time ever in history..."

"And likely no successor in the future..."

Mo Hua's expression grew grim.

A man dreads renown as much as a pig dreads putting on weight.

Fame brings peril, much like a plump pig awaits the butcher's knife.

This isn't something positive.

Mo Hua felt somewhat skeptical, "Has nobody faced targeting like this in the past?"

"From what I know," Hao Xuan shook his head, "nobody..."

Mo Hua was baffled, "So why are they coming after me so fiercely?" "Likely since you're pretty aggravating..."

The Taixu Gate junior brothers kept their thoughts to themselves in silence.

As for Junior Brother Mo Hua, ignoring his other abilities, he's undoubtedly expert at provoking ire.

Even when stacked against his formation expertise, it holds its own.

If it was deliberate, that might be understandable.

But the issue lies in how he often provokes without meaning to.

Accidental provocation is the worst kind.

Particularly when he appears so guileless and harmless in the process, it drives folks even crazier.

This played out clearly in the recent sword discussion gathering.

Naturally, they wouldn't voice it aloud.

In the end, among the Taixu Gate, the Junior Brother remains admirable and endearing.

"Perhaps it's due to how, Junior Brother, you're unlike typical prodigies..." "How so?"

"Typical prodigies excel in cultivation, a prowess in rigid abilities."

"Yet Junior Brother, your prowess lies in Taoist arts and formations, a talent for strategy."

"Rigid abilities resist targeting; might is might, frailty is frailty, yet strategies can be thwarted through countless methods...

A few disciples guessed, "It might stem from the ladies..."

"Junior Brother, you slighted Lu Zhenlong, which in turn slighted numerous of her suitors..."

For ordinary folks, a slight is merely a slight, but involving women—particularly stunning ones—changes everything.

Cheng Mo hurriedly chimed in, "Plus Duanmu Qing..."

In the sword discussion event, Duanmu Qing hounded Junior Brother without mercy, adopting a 'relentless pursuit to the end' approach.

One person lamented, "Pursued with grudge by two beauties from the Qianxue Assembly at once, Junior Brother, you're practically doomed to 'romantic entanglements...

Mo Hua's face darkened further.

Once the meal concluded, Mo Hua headed back to the Disciples' Quarters.

He needed to concentrate on sketching formations and plotting ways to handle the upcoming sword discussion.

Thanks to these "Rules for Mo Hua", every one of his techniques—particularly his standard formation maneuvers—had been deeply analyzed, rendering the following sword discussion likely far more challenging.

Still, inwardly, he remained perplexed.

The formation portion of these "Rules" ought to originate from elders across different sects.

It demanded experienced Formation Masters to model and infer various formation clashes.

But the remaining sections?

Who crafted those?

Mo Hua furrowed his brow.

At the same time, in the Tumo Order, a shadowy silhouette, hazy as ink from a magnet, dispatched a note in striking ink strokes:

"The assorted tactics against Mo Hua are now gathered into the 'Rules'."

"Every individual possesses their own copy of these 'Rules':"

"Future sword discussions shall keep enhancing and refining it."

"Our task: Mo Hua must perish!"

"Our aim: Eliminate Mo Hua!"

A crowd echoed after, intoning "Mo Hua must die!"

And these "Rules for Mo Hua" kept spreading and evolving within the

Demon Slaying Alliance...

Over the ensuing centuries, drawing from this sword discussion event's "Rules" as a foundation, a progressively polished Tao Cultivation Manual arose, bearing yet another famous title:

"Tumo Treasure Book."
