Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1581: Chapter 834: Sword Fiend (Part 3)

Soul-Shocking Sword cultivates Sword Intent, using the sword for Soul Emergence; Blood Prison Pupil nurtures Evil Qi, using the eyes for Soul Emergence.

Firstly, I am not a Sword Cultivator, the method of “using the sword for Soul Emergence” can be directly ignored.

That leaves only, cultivating Sword Intent, nurturing Evil Qi, and… using the eyes for Soul Emergence.

In this way, has it become fusing Sword Intent and Evil Qi, borrowing both eyes for Soul Emergence?

If the Sword Intent isn’t strong enough, then use Evil Qi to make up for it…

At the same time, use the dignified Tai Xu Sword Intent to neutralize the sinister Evil Qi in the Taoist Prison?

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat, and his gaze grew brighter.

“It seems… I could give it a try?”

Mo Hua suddenly sat up and took out the Water Prison Forbidden Box again.

With a thought in mind, what follows is how to specifically execute it.

How to fuse the Sword Intent of the Soul-Shocking Sword with the Evil of the Water Prison Sect’s Penalty Prison?

Mo Hua pondered for a long time, and couldn’t help but scratch his head.

One inherits a Sword technique, the other a Forbidden Diagram.

The two don’t overlap at all, how can they be merged together?

“Indeed, some things are easy to conceive but difficult to execute…”

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

He recalled once more the process of Senior Xuan’s cultivation of the “Soul-Shocking Sword” from the Cause and Effect Image, then stared wide-eyed at the Water Prison Forbidden Box.

Sword, prison, instruments of punishment, criminals…

By a whim, Mo Hua’s heart suddenly skipped.

The Sword is a tool for wounding.

Wounding or killing people would produce Evil.

The Penalty Prison is for punishing criminals.

Isn’t using the Sword instead of instruments of punishment to punish criminals also a way of nurturing Evil?

Moreover, it’s nurturing both Sword Intent and Evil Qi together!

In this way, without altering the original structure of the Water Prison Forbidden Map, the Soul-Shocking Sword Skill can be seamlessly integrated into the Blood Prison Pupil Skill.

Using the Sword as punishment, Sword Fiend in unity!

Mo Hua was excited.

He immediately began meditating, according to his own conception, to start fusing the technique points.

The method of cultivation is the same as before, visualizing the Heart Image of the Prison, inscribing it into the Divine Soul, thus nurturing the Power of Killing of the Divine Soul.

But unlike before, when visualizing the Water Prison Forbidden Map, Mo Hua “deceived himself” with some tricks.

Relying on his proficiency in the Divine Thought, he “altered” his own perception, replacing all the instruments of punishment in the Heart Image of the Prison with the Soul-Shocking Sword.

Thus the Penalty Prison Map became the Sword Penalty Map.

All the criminals were punished under the sharpness of the Soul-Shocking Sword, trembling and wailing.

This little trick of the Divine Way was something Mo Hua explored on his own, akin to “Planting Devil in Taoist Heart”, more like planting a sort of “suggestion” to his own Taoist Heart.

Once the Sword Penalty Map formed, the entire Taoist Prison shed its sinister aura, becoming extremely sharp and imposing, like a Divine Thought “Sword Prison” full of Sword Qi.

This Sword Prison, fusing Sword Intent and Evil Qi, was inscribed into Mo Hua’s Divine Soul.

A majestic, fierce Sword Fiend bloomed from Mo Hua’s eyes, radiating sharpness, the Sword Dao imposing, the Evil Qi ominous, as if to sweep away all sins in the world, causing evil and malicious beings to tremble in fear.

In an instant, Mo Hua seemed like a ruler of the Nine Nether, the might of the Sword Fiend making it hard for anyone to meet his gaze.

This was the true Soul-Shocking Sword!

And it was different from what all the former seniors of the Taixu Gate cultivated, capable of being displayed through the eyes, with the Soul-Shocking Sword containing Evil Qi!

A moment later, all the sharpness withdrew.

Mo Hua’s eyes returned to clarity.

He looked around, showing a look of regret.

“It’s a pity, Shui Yama isn’t here, otherwise I might have been able to have a staring contest with him, to see whose eyes are stronger…”

But without a single enemy around, Mo Hua felt inexplicably lonely.

“Not even a bad guy to show me his eyes…”

But at least I’ve learned it!

“Soul-Shocking Sword!”

Mo Hua let out a silly grin, then suppressed his inner excitement, and sank his Divine Sense into the Sea of Consciousness, to continue practicing Formation.

Not to delight in things, nor to grieve at oneself.

At any time, maintaining a calm mind, diligently studying Formation, without slacking off.

Mo Hua closed his eyes and calmly started sketching Formations on the Taoist Stele in the Sea of Consciousness…

…

And before this.

At the moment when Mo Hua took out the Broken Sword, a trace of Cause and Effect aura had already spread out.

In the back mountain Sword Tomb, an old man with a full head of white hair and a long beard suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils trembling.

“Xuan Er…”

“How can there be Xuan Er’s aura within the Taixu Gate?”

He released his Divine Sense, his powerful Divine Thought spreading in an extremely subtle manner, sweeping across the entire Taixu Mountain Range, seeking the source of this aura.

But he was not what he used to be, his Divine Sense severely damaged. Suddenly using it caused needle-like pain.

Though his Divine Sense spread out, he searched very slowly.

Meanwhile, the aura of “Xuan Er” grew stronger.

It seemed someone was touching Xuan Er’s Cause and Effect, inferring something.

“Who…”

The old man’s heart tightened, continuing to trace with his Divine Sense, but just when he was about to sense the source of the aura, everything disappeared again.

Completely vanished.

As if someone deliberately hid it.

And hid it in a place neither within the state boundary nor within Cause and Effect.

The old man wore an angry expression, then gradually calmed down.

Inside, he took note once again.

Suddenly, a stabbing pain in his Divine Sense increased, and he heard a demonic hum beside his ear.

The old man’s gaze sharpened, immediately withdrawing his Divine Sense, gathering all his aura, holding his breath and concentrating, controlling himself and guarding his heart.

After a long time, the demonic hum subsided, and his Divine Sense no longer chaotic.

Only then did the old man slowly open his eyes, but his expression was weary, as if he had aged a little more.

He was all alone, looking around, gazing at the countless rusted Broken Swords in the Sword Tomb, and the withered bones buried within.

These swords once shone brightly.

These people, once were his junior brothers, senior brothers, and even mentors.

And Xuan Er was the last Sword Dao successor upon whom he pinned his deepest hopes amidst reluctance and despair.

But he was wrong.

He shouldn’t have passed it down…

The junior brothers, senior brothers, and mentors, their Broken Swords, their dead corpses can at least be buried in this Sword Tomb to keep him company in his old age.

But Xuan Er, his remains are gone, even his sword is nowhere to be found…

The old man’s silhouette unconsciously hunched, bringing a sense of desolation.

A bitter voice echoed lowly in the Sword Tomb:

“Is it truly… to be severed…”
