Immortality Through Array Formations-Chapter 2256 - 1044: Forbidden Sword Skill (3)

"Regarding this matter, the Taixu Gate must provide an explanation..."

Elder Master Xun was silent for a moment, then sighed and said with helplessness:

"This matter... is a secret of our Taixu Gate, and was not to be revealed to outsiders. But now that you’ve asked, I won’t hide it anymore."

Elder Master Xun said sternly, "Although our Taixu Gate forbade the use of the Divine Thought into sword True Jue, we also did not want to completely lose the Taoist inheritance of the Sword Dao. Therefore, the Sect’s top echelon has been researching a more harmonious and impartial sword intent method over the years."

"What Mo Hua learned is this newly created sword intent method, known as: Taixu Shocking God Sword Intent Manual."

"This is an orthodox sword intent method, not a forbidden technique, nor is it the forbidden Divine Thought into sword technique that harms one’s soul and self-inflicts damage to the Divine Soul..."

Elder Master Xun slowly explained.

A group of Heaven Void Ancestors immediately drew in a sharp breath, shocked in their hearts, thinking that even as an ancestor of the Sect, how could you shamelessly lie and babble in front of so many people?

Can the name and origin of this sword technique be made up on the spot?

Do you really think you can just make up something and it would count?

Are you fooling ghosts?

Elder Master Xun, seeing the disbelief in the crowd, leisurely pulled out a Jade Slip:

"This sword technique, including its name, core essentials, parts of the cultivation lineage, method of condensing sword intent, and movements to display sword intent... I have recorded them in this Jade Slip and submitted it to the Qianxue Court Tribunal long ago..."

"On the side of the Mount of Tao, the Taixu Gate also filed a report before the Sword Discussion Conference."

"These are sufficient to prove that the method Mo Hua used in the sword discussion was not the forbidden Divine Thought into sword True Jue, but merely our Taixu Gate’s newly created sword intent method, the Taixu Shocking God Sword Intent Manual..."

...

With these words spoken, all the Heaven Void Ancestors present felt a chill in their hearts, silently thinking that this was not good.

This newly created method was one no one cared about, let alone could catch the eyes of these ancestors.

Especially considering that the Taixu Gate was not previously known for excelling in sword techniques.

No one would stare at such a thing every day.

But who could have thought Taixu Gate would make a "real article" under these "formalities."

Legitimacy in name leads to legitimacy in speech.

The crowd felt a chill in their hearts.

Could it be that Ancestor Xun had anticipated all of this early on, so he left this move and had already made his plans?

Is Mo Hua, the Formation Leader of Taixu Gate, his pawn as well?

Is this all part of Elder Master Xun’s meticulously laid plan?

A group of ancestors frowned, looking at Elder Master Xun, only to feel that this seemingly unremarkable elder who silently expended all efforts for the Taixu Gate turned out to be so deep and unfathomable that they couldn’t help but feel deep apprehension...

For a while, no one said anything more.

Elder Master Xun sighed slightly, feeling bitter in his heart.

Only he himself knew that this "unfathomable" ancestor was merely responsible for cleaning up Mo Hua’s mess.

Whatever Mo Hua wanted to do, he couldn’t guess, let alone control.

Before the Sword Discussion Conference, he never would have thought Mo Hua could suddenly create such a "surprise," nearly causing his own heart and lungs to stop.

If it weren’t for Elder Master Xun’s cautious nature, emphasizing detail, and habit of planning ahead, he really couldn’t have borne the burden of this big cauldron coming down.

But regardless, at least for now, the situation has been muddled through.

The ramifications of this matter are indeed significant, and the sects and aristocratic families will definitely not let it rest easily afterward, but that is a problem for later.

For the time being, the immediate strategy is to move forward step by step, and as a Heaven Void Ancestor, he can only cover for Mo Hua to this extent for now.

Moving forward, as long as Mo Hua can be safely brought back to Taixu Mountain, put in the Back Hill Forbidden Area, activate the Formation, and then close the mountain gate to isolate everything, keeping this child safe is the primary concern, everything else is no big problem.

At most, just brazenly shirking responsibilities and passing the blame.

Bleeding a little, cutting a little flesh, compensating with some Spirit Stones, all these are inconsequential.

As long as Mo Hua is fine.

Elder Master Xun gradually let his heart settle, quietly staring at the shadow of the square sky, not blinking, planning to act immediately to break the void and send this child back to the Taixu Gate as soon as the Formation opens and Mo Hua emerges.

To avoid the scenario where some old, undead Heaven Void ancestors see Mo Hua, get jealous, and can’t suppress their urge to kill.

Not only Elder Master Xun, but many other Heaven Void Ancestors were also staring intently at the phantom shadow.

The previous Dharma Form battle erupted within the Asura Battlefield.

To prevent the Spirit Tide from leaking and injuring the innocent, the Large Formation of the Mount of Tao automatically sealed off a large section of Asura Grounds when extinguishing the five Heaven Void Dharma Phases.

It’s necessary to wait until the Heaven Void Dharma Phases completely dissipate, and the Spirit Tide entirely subsides, before the Formation can be unsealed, and only then to know the situation of Mo Hua and the others.

After a while, the golden light between heaven and earth completely faded, the Spirit Tide fully dissipated.

The remaining power of the Large Formation also dissipated.

Only then did everyone clearly see the spectacle within the Large Formation.

All mountains, streams, swamps, valleys... were leveled to flat, the entire area barren, only leaving behind residue like sand and soil, remnants after being devoured by the terrifying Spirit Tide, eradicating all form.

Besides this, there are a few silhouettes.

Mo Hua, with a pale complexion and calm expression.

Around him, are five people including Shen Linsu, whose breath is faint after being slashed with a sword, lying on the ground with their life or death unknown.

These five were, of course, not dead.

Although the Heaven Void Dharma Phases were annihilated, the power remaining from the Eternal Life Rune was still on their foreheads, protecting a sliver of their vitality.

This outcome was already anticipated by the group of Heaven Void Ancestors, but seeing it with their own eyes still made their hearts tremble.

One fighting against five.

Mo Hua truly, with one person and one sword, single-handedly, killed five, "killing" the five strongest Heavenly Pride Disciples at the Qian Learning State Boundary.

Even more, four of them were Foundation Establishment Peak bloodline prodigies.

This is almost an unprecedented feat in the Sword Discussion Conference.

It never happened before, and it’s unlikely to occur again in the future.

This child is truly a monster among monsters...

Many Heaven Void Ancestors secretly marveled in their hearts, and quite a few began suppressing an uncontrollable urge to eliminate.

Elder Master Xun’s gaze was cold, remaining on high alert, lest indeed any ancestor would make a move, detrimental to Mo Hua.

All of Elder Master Xun’s attention was originally placed on Mo Hua, yet suddenly he was startled, frowning.

Not just Elder Master Xun, many of the present Heaven Void also noticed something unusual.

The anomaly was not on Mo Hua, but on Shen Linsu and the four others.

In the Asura Grounds, the five, including Shen Linsu, were lying on the ground, without any blood color on their faces, long-life runes glowing with golden light on their foreheads.

But this golden light gradually changed color.

A strand of purple-black, mixed with a hint of blood-red, filthy, defiled, like "pus" of flesh and blood constantly seeping out.

It was as if Mo Hua had split open their Seas of Consciousness, and this "pus" then flowed out.

This Divine Thought "pus," though vile and filthy, was of extremely high Divine Thought Rank in its existence.

Among those present, only the Heaven Void Ancestors could truly see these base, pure and decadent defiled Divine Thoughts.

They watched this purple-black "pus" spread out on the ground, blooming into poppy flowers fertilized by evil thoughts.

At this moment, all the Heaven Void Ancestors’ faces changed dramatically.

A few of the Sword Dao Ancestors were especially stern, revealing a frightening sharpness in their eyes.

...

Meanwhile, among the viewing stands.

Atop the high platform of the Qian Taoist Sect, a gentle and refined middle-aged elder immediately twisted his face, cursing gloomily:

"Damn brat, ruined my grand plan!"
