Immortality Through Array Formations-Chapter 2255 - 1044: Forbidden Sword Skill (Part 2)
"Of course, executing him now might be a bit rash. In my opinion, it’s better to first cripple his cultivation, break his limbs, seal his Sea of Consciousness, and imprison him in the Taoist Prison..."
"The ranking he acquired through Forbidden Techniques in the Sword Discussion should also be annulled."
"Moreover, his title as the Formation Leader should also be revoked..."
"Only then can we set an example to others, clear out deviant thoughts, and correct the atmosphere of Qianxue."
A group of Heaven Void Ancestors listened, their eyes flickering.
Soon, an ancestor agreed, saying:
"Indeed, this precedent must not be set."
"If disciples practice Forbidden Techniques and participate in the Sword Discussion Conference without severe punishment, it will surely lead others to imitate, causing endless future troubles."
"Pursuing fame and fortune in the Sword Discussion, even at the risk of breaking taboos, is an act of improper Heart Skill and cannot be tolerated."
"Mo Hua, this child, must be severely punished."
"His Sword Discussion ranking must also be voided!"
"Cripple his cultivation, and he must never use Divine Thought into Sword again..."
...
The group of ancestors spoke calmly, but their words were extremely harsh, making Mo Hua sound as if he had committed the gravest sins.
Facing the crowd’s accusations, Elder Master Xun, who had remained silent, finally raised his eyes slowly and asked indifferently:
"Who told you that he practiced the Divine Thought into Sword True Jue?"
Everyone was stunned, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
The ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect sneered, "With so many ancestors watching, how could there be a mistake? With no sword in hand, yet using Divine Thought to injure, what swordsmanship could Mo Hua have used other than your Taixu Gate’s Divine Thought into Sword True Jue?"
"Our Taixu Gate’s Divine Thought into Sword True Jue..." Elder Master Xun glanced at him and asked: "Have you learned it?"
The ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect was taken aback.
Elder Master Xun asked everyone again, "Has any of you learned it?"
The group of Heaven Void Ancestors remained silent.
The Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue is the sect sword skill of Taixu Gate, how could they have learned it?
Moreover, although the sword technique is renowned for its power to awe the heavens and vanquish gods, using one’s own Divine Thought as a sword harms oneself extensively. Even if they had the sword manual in their hands, they might not dare to risk their lives to learn it.
Unless one really had a death wish.
Up to now, how many prodigies had Taixu Gate lost to this sword technique, and how many disciples had died due to exhaustion of Divine Thought?
These ancestors couldn’t possibly be unaware.
If the drawbacks weren’t too significant and the backlash not so ferocious, Taixu Gate would never have had to self-seal their sect sword skill.
Elder Master Xun, seeing no one speaking, nodded and said:
"There it is, one must not judge based on appearances and make false decisions. Especially with Taoist sword techniques, appearances may be similar, but the internal Taoist principles might differ vastly..."
"Without practical experience, do not speak thoughtlessly."
"None of you have learned the Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue, so how can you assert that what Mo Hua used was this Divine Thought Sword Technique?"
The group of ancestors looked uncomfortable.
One particularly arrogant one-eyed ancestor sneered:
"Old Xun, stop twisting words!"
"Right and wrong are clear to all. What else could this kid have learned but the Divine Thought Sword Technique? While it’s true we haven’t learned it, it’s not as if we haven’t seen it. I was even slashed by your Taixu Gate with this sword before..."
"Though I haven’t learned it, having been slashed by it, do you think I wouldn’t know if it’s Divine Thought into Sword?"
Elder Master Xun glanced at this one-eyed ancestor, his gaze slightly darkening, daring not to underestimate him.
After a moment of reflection, Elder Master Xun pondered and asked:
"Since you adamantly say that Mo Hua learned Divine Thought into Sword, let me ask you, from whom did he learn it?"
The one-eyed ancestor frowned.
Elder Master Xun continued:
"This sword technique has been completely sealed."
"Who in the entire Taixu Gate now could teach him?"
"Though I’m a Heaven Void, I don’t know this sword technique myself."
"The other ancestors also do not cultivate Divine Thought."
"Below Heaven Void, there is no related inheritance; even if they learned it, no one could cultivate it to any extent."
"The only one truly proficient in this sword art is one person, that is... my brother..." Elder Master Xun’s eyes turned solemn, "... Senior Brother Dugu."
The atmosphere suddenly froze, and all the ancestors couldn’t help but frown, a chill running through their hearts.
It seemed that they didn’t want, or even dared, to mention this person.
Elder Master Xun said: "The matters of my senior brother should be known to all present. You should also know what kind of person my senior brother was. With his solitary and arrogant nature, would he likely teach a Foundation Establishment disciple swordsmanship?"
"I wouldn’t, he wouldn’t teach, and no one else in Taixu Gate knows it either."
"Could Mo Hua have learned Divine Thought into Sword without a teacher?"
"Besides..."
Elder Master Xun, with a face full of confidence, sneered: "How could a Foundation Establishment disciple learn such an awe-inspiring sword technique as our Taixu Gate’s Divine Thought into Sword True Jue?"
"Are you disregarding the supreme Divine Thought Sword Technique of our Taixu Gate, disregarding our ancient Taoist inheritance?"
Elder Master Xun’s gaze was cold and sharp.
The group of Heaven Void Ancestors, momentarily at a loss for words, found themselves at a standstill. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Upon careful reflection, they realized this was indeed true.
The more powerful the sword technique, the more challenging the cultivation, requiring exceptional talent in Sword Dao, deep roots, and the dedicated guidance of previous masters.
No such things did Mo Hua possess.
Not to mention, he’s only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
A Foundation Establishment disciple couldn’t even cultivate Sword Intent, let alone the pinnacle Sword Intent Spell Point—the "Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue."
These were the facts, yet this group of ancestors obviously could not let it go easily.
A Heaven Void Ancestor pursued: "This matter requires an explanation."
"What sword technique Mo Hua used, we must find out its origin."
"Indeed."
