Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1407: Chapter 778 Formation Stone Palace

Mo Hua initially thought that the Demon Refining Diagram should be like the previous Contemplation Map he had seen, just a picture. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a magnificent mural.

From afar, the blood mist obscured it, making the vision somewhat hazy.

But faintly discernible, the mural depicted a mountain range, and countless ferocious demonic creatures.

”I must get a closer look...”

Mo Hua silently thought to himself.

He turned his head and looked at the White Bone Broken Sword in his hand, and asked softly, ”Sword Bone, how do we get there.”

The ”Sword Demon” named Sword Bone, with a hint of fear in its voice, seemed to be quite apprehensive of this ”Demon Refining Diagram,” but still replied truthfully:

”Around the perimeter of the Demon Refining Diagram, there are monster cultivators guarding it. Sneak past them, go around the back, and there is a stone bridge. After crossing the bridge, there is a thorny stone forest, then go through...”

It described with great detail.

Mo Hua memorized everything one by one and followed suit.

At the same time, he made a plan in his mind; if this ”cheap bones” was not honest, he would dismantle the Sword Bone and swallow it whole, to have a taste.

After all, it was a treacherous villain before its death.

Fortunately, the Sword Bone was very honest.

The path it pointed out was correct.

Despite some detours, Mo Hua still managed to reach the front of the Demon Refining Diagram smoothly.

The smoothness of it was a bit surprising to Mo Hua.

He frowned and asked: ”The defense around the Demon Refining Diagram is so lax, and I got here so easily?”

Sword Bone silently thought: ”That’s because I was leading you...”

And to be honest, it’s not easy at all.

To truly infiltrate, one must not only have a clear understanding of the nearby terrain but also have mastered the Concealment Technique to a transcendent extent, and fully understand the habits of the monster cultivators. One must also have good movement technique and be bold, yet cautious.

”This little ancestor, so proficient in sneaking and climbing, must have done quite a few stealing and shady activities in ordinary days...”

Sword Bone silently criticized in its heart.

Of course, on the surface, it could only flatter shamelessly:

”That is because you, young master, have mastered your movement technique, with excellent concealment skills, advancing and retreating with ease, being bold yet cautious... so it naturally wasn’t difficult.”

”Hmm.” Mo Hua nodded.

The Sword Bone, it sure knows how to talk well.

”Furthermore...” Sword Bone continued, ”This Demon Refining Diagram is a place where monster cultivators are punished, countless of them have perished here, suffering the agony of being devoured by Ten Thousand Demons, so once they get close, they’ll instinctively feel fear, often hearing the murmurs and roars of demonic creatures.”

”Therefore, even the monster cultivator guards dare only to stay on the perimeter and do not dare to approach the Demon Refining Diagram truly.”

”I see...” Mo Hua nodded slightly.

”The murmurs of demon monsters...”

He leaned closer to the Demon Refining Diagram, listened for a moment, and asked in confusion: ”The murmurs of demon monsters, why can’t I hear them?”

Sword Bone was startled, it dared to sense for a moment, and suddenly froze.

No...

When it used to sneak closer, it was distinctly audible.

The sorrowful howls of ten thousand demons, ferocious and horrifying, made one’s Divine Soul tremble.

Why is it gone?

It glanced at Mo Hua again secretly, and thought: ”It can’t be that these demon wraiths are so afraid of this little ancestor that they dare not make a sound.”

That should be impossible, right...

Even exaggeration has its limits.

Sword Bone smiled inwardly and shook its head.

”Perhaps the time is not right, the demons are dormant.”

”Oh.” Mo Hua stared at the Demon Refining Diagram again and then asked: ”By the way, where are the Formation Patterns?”

”Formation Patterns?” Sword Bone was taken aback.

”The Formation Pattern you spent two hundred years learning,” Mo Hua said, ”didn’t you say you learned it from the Demon Refining Diagram?”

Sword Bone paused, sensed the Demon Refining Diagram, and slowly frowned, ”It seems to be sealed...”

”Sealed?” Mo Hua was slightly startled.

”Yes...” Sword Bone said, ”Two hundred years ago, the Demon Refining Diagram seemed incomplete. Some Formation Patterns were exposed, but now...”

Sword Bone looked at the Demon Refining Diagram again, and its tone slightly tensed: ”This diagram seems to be completely finished, all the Formation Patterns are sealed.”

Mo Hua’s expression showed some displeasure.

If I don’t come, you’re incomplete.

When I come, you’re finished.

Are you purposely making it impossible for me to learn?

”Can this diagram be blown up?” Mo Hua asked.

Sword Bone was frightened and trembled, quickly saying: ”My little ancestor, please don’t mess with it!”

”If it blows up, it will be a huge disaster!”

No one knows what terrible things might happen if the Demon Refining Diagram is blown up.

Moreover, once it blows up, it will certainly attract the attention of monster cultivators. If the whole valley goes on alert, even with exquisite concealment and careful actions, it would still be a perilous situation.

”I was just saying it in passing.” Mo Hua said.

This Sword Bone is really getting old, out of touch, not even a joke can be told.

”Then can this Demon Refining Diagram be entered?” Mo Hua asked again.

He didn’t have any other thoughts, just wanted to go in and count how many demonic monsters were inside.

”Enter?”

Sword Bone was a bit confused, not knowing what exactly Mo Hua wanted to do.

Could there be any good places inside the Demon Refining Diagram?

Others dare not even approach, yet he wants to go in?

His heart is really bold.

What does he want to do? Go in to suffer the agony of ”Ten Thousand Demons’ Devouring Body,” to have his soul shattered with no chance of reincarnation?

Or does he really think he’s invincible after gaining a Sword Demon, disregarding the countless demonic monsters in the Demon Refining Diagram?

Sword Bone sneered in its heart.

Just as it was about to persuade Mo Hua, it suddenly halted, a demonic thought from the depth of its heart surged forward unbidden.

”This little anc...ugh, this little brat!”

”This little brat being so clueless about the vastness of the heavens and earth might not be a bad thing either.”

”As long as I find a way to send him into the Demon Refining Diagram, whether his Divine Thought dies inside or gets trapped, I can find a way to escape, perhaps even ’occupy the magpie’s nest,’ obtaining a fresh young host body, it’s not impossible...”
