Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2226 Chapter 1035: Ominous Sign (Part 2)

He possessed no power regarding other issues.

Yet when it came to the Sword Discussion Conference, Mo Hua's commands held absolute sway, and he already carried the presence of the 'Junior Sect Leader' from the Three Mountains.

All the elders lent their full support.

The disciples, too, placed their faith in this young junior brother of theirs.

Mo Hua's strategies for the Shura Battle remained unfinished, though the core concept had already crystallized.

Furthermore, certain setups he arranged for the Tian character Sword Discussion could be repurposed straight away.

Mo Hua launched into rigorous preparations.

Forging unique armor, Daoist robes, and spirit artifacts.

Collecting formations from the Three Mountains to bolster his weaknesses in array techniques.

In particular, certain uncommon and esoteric formations boasting unique effects required bolstering as well.

The shared legacy of the Three Mountains unlocked vital inheritances for the sword discussion participants, boosting their fighting capabilities.

Dispensing select scarce materials for Dao cultivation.

Alongside Linghu Xiao, delving into the elite sword art of Mount Chongxu—the Chongxu Sword True Technique.

Analyzing the property shifts in this sword method, drawing from Sword Qi fundamentals, examining the mutable traits of Water-Moon alongside parallels and contrasts to the Five Elements doctrine, tackling the issue of Sword Qi enhancement...

These tasks didn't fall solely on Mo Hua's shoulders.

The whole of Taixu Gate mobilized gradually and methodically.

And the immense Dao cultivation assets and inheritances housed in the Three Mountains Taoist Repository were leveraged by Mo Hua via causal computations and careful scheming to their maximum potential.

...

Right now, Taixu Gate wasn't the only one in motion.

Every faction joining the Sword Discussion, gearing up for the imminent Shura Battle, engaged in thorough groundwork.

Numerous sects devised schemes aimed squarely at Taixu Gate.

Some sought vengeance, others aimed to neutralize threats, a few desired to claim territory from Taixu Gate, and many more just stirred the pot amid the chaos...

Meanwhile, the bulk of the Heavenly Pride Disciples honed their edges toward Mo Hua.

Their bond with Mo Hua boiled down to something straightforward and unadulterated: pure 'enmity'.

Regardless, Mo Hua had to perish!

The whole Qianxue State Boundary brimmed with a heavy, bloodthirsty tension.

Time slipped by gradually...

Before they knew it, seven days had vanished.

The climactic clash of the Di character Sword Discussion, the Shura Battle, at last commenced...

This clash carried immense weight.

It marked the Di character confrontation.

Victory would propel them onward; a decisive loss meant bidding farewell to the Tian character Sword Discussion.

Taixu Gate.

Prior to the fray, the Three Mountains Sect Leader himself escorted the sword discussion disciples on their way.

The Taixu Sect Master offered words of encouragement like 'don't fear defeat, give it your all' and 'win or lose, you're our sect's glory' to rally the disciples.

Following that, the group departed for the sword discussion venue.

However, just before leaving, the Taia Sect Leader pulled Mo Hua aside quietly, away from prying eyes, to whisper:

'Can we hold onto the top spot among the Eight Great Gates?'

Mo Hua appeared a bit fatigued.

Over these days, he had been immersed in nonstop computations, his divine sense often pushing to the brink of depletion before he restored it via meditation, cycling through this process repeatedly.

Though Mo Hua's divine sense proved robust, the toll left him with some mental weariness, his complexion slightly ashen.

Nevertheless, his eyes stayed sharp and luminous.

From the cognitive burden and profound focus, he radiated a sense of composure and reliability.

'I'll give it my all...'

Mo Hua replied to the Taia Sect Leader with a subtle smile.

The Taia Sect Leader let out a quiet breath of ease.

Evidently, Mo Hua was merely at Foundation Establishment and just a disciple, yet he somehow projected a calming assurance.

His assurance, coupled with that subtle smile, oddly brought solace.

'Good.'

The Taia Sect Leader gave a nod.

That was his sole expectation.

To strive fully and secure the leading rank among the Eight Great Gates...

Amid such stormy tides, simply retaining that standing would feel like immense fortune and the ancestors' favor... With time expired, Taixu Gate's disciples set forth toward the Mount of Dao.

And at that juncture, across the Qianxue State Boundary, every sect and their sword discussion disciples headed to the Taoist Field.

Participants from diverse sects clad in vibrant Daoist robes formed a striking, varied stream of colors, moving in disciplined splendor, all funneling into the heart of the Qianxue State Boundary—the venerable Mount of Dao.

Mount of Dao teemed with crowds like endless peaks and oceans.

The full expanse of the Qianxue State Boundary saw a grand migration.

This stood as the most crowded, most magnificent Sword Discussion ever.

Atop the Sword Observation Tower.

Esteemed visitors ascended the tower, hierarchies sharply outlined.

Imperial nobles, Daoist State noble houses, court heavyweights, and elite figures assembled.

Soaring structures rose, faint Qi drifted, revealing who might be the concealed experts observing the contest.

And at the core of the upper tier sat a majestic chamber.

Towers soared, divine craftsmanship shone, opulent and timeless.

At this instant, ripples of void-tearing echoes filled the chamber.

Venerable silhouettes materialized from the emptiness, claiming seats successively.

Should any informed spectator glimpse these elders, shock and trepidation would surely grip them, as these were all Heaven Void Ancestors.

These represented ancestral observers, exceedingly uncommon.

In past years, even for the Tian character Sword Battle's finale, Heaven Void Ancestors seldom graced the Sword Observation Tower in person.

This marked the inaugural occasion for such a throng of Heaven Void Ancestors to convene in the Sword Observation Tower.

From the Four Great Sects: the Old Ancestor of Shen Family from Qian Taoist Sect, Xiaoo Family Elder of Heavenly Sword Sect, Ao Family Elder of Longding Sect, Duanmu Elder of Wanxiao Sect.

From the Eight Great Gates: Elder Master Xun of Taixu Gate, Elder Ouyang of Taia Mountain, Linghu Ancestor of Mount Chongxu, plus representatives from Sever Gold Sect, Gui Water Sect, Lingxiao Sect, Vajra Sect, Purple Mist Sect... and numerous additional sect elders. And further down, portions of the Twelve Streams sect elders.
