Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2213 Chapter 1031: Shock (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
What kind of sword-controlling technique is that?
What principles of sword dao is he adhering to?
How does the spiritual power flow through it?
How is the sword qi channeled?
Why does the sword burst like that?
All of them were utterly baffled.
Never in their lives had they witnessed such an bizarre method of sword control.
Why on earth?
How could Mo Hua, who obviously lacks any swordsmanship knowledge, manipulate a flying sword and swiftly vanquish the sword-controlling prodigy from Daluo Sect?
From where does his grasp of sword dao originate?
Is it merely sheer chance and lucky speculation?
Or could this Mo Hua actually be an extraordinary genius in sword dao, surpassing even the prodigies of Daluo Sect?
Has he secretly acquired a profound, earth-shattering sword art?
Filled with astonishment and complex feelings they couldn't express, many Daoist Law Elders carefully scrutinized and examined the scene of Mo Hua wielding the sword, determined not to overlook any tiny aspect.
Ultimately, they came to a realization and vented their frustration:
"Manipulating a wretched sword!"
"It's not sword control at all!"
"This isn't even proper swordsmanship!"
"When cultivators control swords, they merge their life with the sword, synchronizing their intentions to use it as a natural extension of their body and unleash the full might of sword control."
"Sword control represents an elevated form of swordsmanship, demanding insight into sword dao, refinement of sword qi, harmony between person and blade, and unity of spirit and will..."
"Mo Hua shows none of these traits of sword dao."
"No surprise, since he's no sword cultivator. He's simply employing 'divine sense manipulation' to handle the sword."
"You see it as sword control, but he's just treating the sword like a 'stick' to swing around."
Everyone felt genuinely enraged.
"What nonsense..."
"An outrage against sword dao, an offense that can't be pardoned!"
"We nearly fell for this kid's deception once more. I actually believed he was a genuine sword dao genius capable of mastering sword control on the spot..."
"In reality, it's just another ruse..."
"These cunning schemes are everywhere."
"Did he come up with this on his own?"
"What else? No legitimate sword cultivator would destroy their spirit sword in such a way."
"A real 'heretic'."
Yet, a few held contrasting views:
"To be fair, this isn't straightforward. It nearly mimics a truly formidable sword-controlling technique."
A Sword Dao Elder scoffed, "It only looks that way on the surface. The foundations are quite 'crude', form without substance, nowhere near the depth of true orthodox sword control."
"But the 'orthodox' sword-controlling genius from Daluo Sect fell to his one strike."
The Sword Dao Elder had no retort, "That's due to... Ye Zhiyuan being... merely at Foundation Establishment. Upon reaching Golden Core, things would change..."
Another voice agreed: "Yes, during Foundation Establishment, the prowess of sword control isn't fully shown. But at Golden Core, the authentic might of orthodox sword control will shine through."
"When orthodox sword control unleashes its full force, Mo Hua's 'heretical' version won't stand a chance."
"Exactly."
"So, that's our conclusion..."
An senior elder wrapped it up:
"Mo Hua's sword control is fake; he has no knowledge of swordsmanship or sword control. In truth, he leverages his superior divine sense to execute 'divine sense manipulation.'"
"Pretty much..."
"I still can't figure it out, where does the strength of his sword control derive from? He lacks swordsmanship, has no sword techniques, no sword qi, no sword intent, and his spirit sword is low-grade..."
"The spirit sword detonates."
"Can a mere explosion cause such devastation?"
"It's beyond that..."
An elder who was a sword cultivator from a noble clan and researched sword arrays remarked:
"Mo Hua inscribed a sword array inside the sword."
"This sword array features a specially altered formation that can generate sword qi straight from converting spirit stones."
"And there's even more to it..."
"Mo Hua's spirit sword is undoubtedly tailor-made."
"These kinds of spirit swords use inexpensive materials, making them brittle and prone to bursting. When overloaded with sword qi, the flying fragments from the sword blade deliver substantial destructive power!"
"A self-destructing sword array paired with a fracturing spirit sword is the real secret behind this 'sword control.'"
The elders were stunned to hear this explanation.
"So in the end, this remains a Formation Master's trick, not something a sword cultivator would do?"
"It's a sword only in appearance, but at its heart, it's all about formations."
"The sword serves as a container, holding a 'self-destructive' sword array designed purely for 'exploding.'"
This idea was strange but undeniably effective.
Some traditional elders, deeply devoted to swords and treating them like their own lives, condemned Mo Hua for blowing up his spirit sword, viewing it as a squandering and blasphemy against sword dao.
Nevertheless, the majority of elders remained inwardly amazed.
Mo Hua, within the domain of formations, indeed displays an 'exceptional ingenuity' that defies norms, as though blessed by heavenly forces.
The reputation of Qianxue Array Dao Leader is truly earned... A few elders quietly began to feel a desire to nurture such a talent.
Naturally, regardless of how they regret not being able to foster talent, they still have to address what must be addressed.
An elder let out a resigned sigh:
"Examine it carefully and devise a countermeasure..."
These very words had been uttered by them endlessly over the past days, to the extent that they felt desensitized...
Within the grand hall, the sect elders labored tirelessly on Mo Hua's 'sword control,' forgoing sleep both day and night.
At the same time, the Tumo Order was equally 'lively.'"
"What exactly is this Taixu Gate?"
"Precisely." "They've merely overtaken Daluo Sect to claim the top spot among the Eight Great Gates."
"Mo Hua, nothing but a fame-chaser, can't even handle a sword properly, yet dares to join in sword debates?"
"Mo Hua truly can't wield a sword, but he can 'manipulate' it, and with a single strike, he slew... who was that?"
"Who from Daluo Sect?"
"I believe his family name was Ye? Known as Ye Zhiyuan..."
