Mo Hua lavishes praise on the Taia Sect's Sword Array, convincing the Sect Leader to share its secrets despite his reservations about its applicability to sword control techniques. Eager to secure victory at the upcoming Sword Discussion Conference and forge a bond with the young genius, the Sect Leader agrees, entrusting the array to Mo Hua, who promises to master it swiftly. Meanwhile, in the Tumo Order, the arrogant Ye Zhiyuan boasts under the alias 'A Sword's Distance' that he will slay Mo Hua tomorrow to claim the title of Alliance Hierarch.

Taixu Gate.

Upon returning to the Disciple's Residence, Mo Hua was surprised to find an elder from Taia Mountain arriving in person, offering a Formation Diagram as a generous present.

'Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation Map.'

Mo Hua felt immense joy, astonished at the Taia Sect Leader's decisiveness in bestowing such a valuable treasure and even ensuring its personal delivery.

Mo Hua received it with utmost respect and expressed his heartfelt gratitude:

'Thank you, Elder! And thanks to the Sect Leader!'

The Taia Elder offered a warm smile and a nod, shared some brief exchanges, and then departed.

Once the elder had gone, Mo Hua secured the door, lit incense, cleansed his hands, and eagerly unrolled the Taia Sword Formation Map.

Revealed before him, the Sword Array displayed ancient Sword Patterns that radiated a powerful and grand Heavy Sword aura.

Mo Hua examined every detail of the Sword Patterns with his gaze, filling him with great satisfaction.

A second-grade Nineteen Patterns Sword Array.

Besides the Ultimate Formation, this stood as nearly the pinnacle among all second-grade Sword Arrays.

The Taia Sect Leader's generosity exceeded Mo Hua's expectations.

In truth, Mo Hua had already obtained the Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation sometime earlier.

He had 'extorted' it from Sword Bone.

Sword Bone had once been a Taia Sect disciple, but he wandered deep into Refining Demon Mountain, where monster cultivators seized him and dragged him to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, compelling him to serve as an Evil Sword Master, forging Evil Swords for the monsters daily.

His legacy encompassed portions of the Taia Sect's Sword-Casting Master Skill, which included the Taia Sect's Sword Formation.

Mo Hua had mastered the Mountain Opening Sword Formation.

Keeping this secret was impossible.

His request for the Taia Mountain's Sword Formation from the Taia Sect Leader was meant to establish a 'legitimate' route.

The Sword Arrays that Mo Hua knew were not suitable for open display.

This was particularly true for the Taia Mountain's Sword Formation.

The sect's rules on inheritance were exceedingly rigid.

Failing to disclose it in advance would lead to severe repercussions if discovered.

After all, acquiring knowledge without approval amounted to stealing inheritance.

Even with the Three Sects Unification in place, such actions remained shameful.

Reflecting on this, even without voicing it, the Taia Sect Leader would harbor resentment and hold it against Mo Hua.

Therefore, seizing the chance during the Sword Discussion to 'borrow' the Taia Sword Formation from the Taia Sect Leader made sense.

This provided a proper justification.

Consequently, when he later showcased the Taia Sword Formation to exhibit his prowess, the Taia Sect Leader would not reproach him; instead, he might praise him proudly for his swift learning.

Navigating human interactions demands finesse.

Often, individuals prioritize preserving face in their conduct.

Moreover, the Sword Formation presented by the Taia Sect Leader surpassed in quality the one Mo Hua had gained from Sword Bone.

Not only did it feature a flawless structure and accurate Formation Patterns, but

abundant Sword Qi circulated vividly among the Patterns.

The Formation Patterns numbered four more in total.

This addition proved a pleasant shock.

Such a Sword Formation could now be wielded publicly before all onlookers.

Its greatest worth lay in the fact that his Godslaying Sword had already merged the Five Elements Sword Formation.

By acquiring this superior Taia Sword Formation, the might of his Godslaying Sword would rise even higher.

The advantages multiplied in this manner.

Mo Hua then devoted some time to studying this more traditional and refined Taia

Sword Formation.

He benefited greatly from the Sword Array fundamentals provided by Sword Bone.

During the process of embedding the Taia Sword Formation into the Godslaying Sword, Mo Hua gained profound insight into the associated Sword Dao Laws.

As a result, his comprehension came swiftly.

Within merely four hours, he achieved a solid mastery.

He then rehearsed it over a dozen times on the Taoist Stele, gaining assurance before withdrawing from his Sea of Consciousness. From his Storage Bag, he chose a meticulously 'source-opening' Spirit Sword and carefully etched the second-grade Nineteen Patterns Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation upon

it.

Upon finishing the inscription, he sealed the sword's body.

In this way, a 'Mountain Opening Sword' was forged.

Gazing upon the Mountain Opening Sword, Mo Hua pondered inwardly:

'The Daluo Sect's Flying Sword genius, rivaling Xiaoxiao as the two Sword Dao prodigies of the Eight Great Gates...'

'How is that possible?'

'This Ye Zhiyuan, with his level and perspective, how could he possibly match

Xiaoxiao?'

Tomorrow, I'll humble him with one swift sword strike.

The foremost Sword Dao prodigy among the Eight Great Gates belongs solely to my Junior

Brother Xiaoxiao.

On the following day, during the Sword Discussion Conference.

Beyond Mount of Tao, the spectator area brimmed with

crowds in every direction.

The focus on this Sword Discussion reached unparalleled heights since the

ground-level events commenced.

This stemmed not just from the exasperating Mo Hua.

But also from the duo of Sword Dao prodigies representing the Eight Great Gates.

Showcasing Daluo's Flying Sword and Chongxu Sword True Art, two elite

swordsmanship methods.

Along with the fierce struggle for supremacy among the Eight Great Gates.

This promised an intense, blood-soaked, and protracted clash, with disciples from

both factions battling relentlessly until the end.

No one could afford to overlook such an electrifying Sword Discussion spectacle.

All spectators buzzed with excitement and anticipation.

Within the throng, a cultivator of fair complexion exuding a scholarly vibe engaged in lively discourse, drawing effortlessly from tales of diverse sects,

immersed in the lively exchange.

Veteran Sword Discussion visitors recognized this figure as:

Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng was deeply absorbed in his spirited talk when he felt a pull on his sleeve. Glancing over, he spotted a youthful teen with a delicate, pale face, and sighed inwardly with mild regret.

The Little Scholar motioned for him to glance aside.

Bai Xiaosheng, though hesitant, clasped his hands toward the group and stated:

'Pardon me briefly; I'll return shortly.'

Following the Little Scholar to the side, he inquired, 'Why have you come?'

The Little Scholar replied crisply: 'Sir, if you don't ascend soon, the elders will grow irritated.'

'I'm staying put.' Bai Xiaosheng scoffed, 'What's appealing up there? From higher vantage, the world appears as mere insects; faces blur into indistinct shapes. Where's the enjoyment? I'm not ascending, not at all...'
