Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2003  Chapter 964: Evil Tidings

The power of the Dragon Vein was displayed, and the Azure Dragon aura meandered through the great hall.

And the source of the Azure Dragon aura lay within the dragon coffin.

The crowd followed the clear light and saw within the dragon coffin lay the Fourth Prince, who had been dead for unknown years, peacefully and tranquilly holding a segment of green bone in his hand at some unknown time.

This green bone was half an arm long, with a jade green color, crystalline and translucent, with strange ends. The bones seemed to be created by the heavens and earth, resembling a young dragon.

”Dragon Vein!!”

Elder Bear Pi felt his whole bodyʼs blood qi boiling, his heart was extremely excited, and his eyes immediately flushed red, rushing towards the dragon coffin, trying to snatch the Dragon Vein inside.

Shen Tuao was infused with the Azure Dragon aura, his body suffused with clear light, as if he had undergone Marrow Cleansing, his once-diminished aura gradually strengthening again, and this time the dragonʼs power was even more majestic and solemn.

Seeing Elder Bear Pi coveting the Dragon Vein, Shen Tuaoʼs face showed anger, and he punched out.

A dragon shadow in azure color roared with a gallop, rushing straight towards Elder Bear Pi.

Elder Bear Piʼs left hand transformed into a python, clashing with the Azure Dragon, but in an instant, his demonic power was suppressed by the Azure Dragon aura. His arm was bloodied and blurred, blasted several feet away.

Young Master Xuanʼs greed suddenly surged, and seeing this, he immediately said:

”Shen Shouxing, seize the Dragon Vein for me, and Iʼll return your son to you!”

Shen Shouxing was slightly angry, his gaze icy cold.

He disliked this Young Master Xuan commanding him, but his foolish son had become a bargaining chip, his life or death in someone elseʼs hands, and he had no choice.

Only, he also had some doubts in his heart.

This item... is it truly the Dragon Vein of the Great Wilderness? Why would such a defying artifact be hidden in this tomb at Solitary Mountain City?

Elder Shen, he never mentioned it...

Shen Shouxingʼs gaze darkened, and then he drew out the White Jade Sword, activating his Golden Core Peak, as if crystallized spiritual power, integrating human and sword, charged towards Shen Tuao.

Xun Ziyou also never would have thought that during this expedition to the tomb at Solitary Mountain City, he could witness with his own eyes the Dragon Vein of the Great Wilderness royal family.

Although he didnʼt know if this Dragon Vein was genuine or not, he couldnʼt let it fall into the hands of demon cultivators.

Moreover, Shen Tuao was currently absorbing the power of the Dragon Vein.

If left unchecked, and letting him resonate fully with the Dragon Vein, even if everyone joined forces, they might not be able to subdue him.

Xun Ziyou also activated the Tai Xu Sword Skill, transforming into streams of Sword Qi, attacking Shen Tuao.

As for Master Gu and Fan Jin, they initially intended to rescue Mo Hua, but unexpectedly found themselves entangled in such an unbelievable major causality, shocked as they were, they found it somewhat inconceivable.

The brilliant, extremely noble Dragon Vein, if they said they didnʼt desire it, it would naturally be improbable.

But fortunately, in front of greed, both maintained rationality, knowing this wasnʼt something they could touch.

This deadly machination wasnʼt something they could partake in either.

Thus the two of them only guarded from the perimeter, occasionally assisting, striking once and retreating, not daring to delve deeper into this late Golden Core stage battle.

In contrast, the two focused more on Mo Hua.

Even if they obtained the Dragon Vein, they perhaps wouldnʼt be able to enjoy it.

But the safety of Young Master Mo was truly relevant to their future blessings.

Fan Jin and his companion were worried, constantly watching Young Master Xuan, thinking that if thereʼs an opportunity, they would snatch Mo Hua away.

Mo Hua remained expressionless on the surface but secretly paid attention to the situation.

With the appearance of the Dragon Vein, things grew increasingly complex.

And the battle gradually intensified.

Shen Tuao relied on the power of the Azure Dragon, fighting against three, dealing with the fierce melee of Elder Bear Piʼs monstrous power, countering Shen Shouxing and Elder Xunʼs swordsmanship, and enduring Young Master Xuanʼs insidious blood poison and occasional mind-influencing Planting Devil in Taoist Heart...

Mo Hua watched these Golden Core battles.

At first, he was still distracted by other thoughts, but as he watched, his expression grew more focused.

This was an excellent opportunity to observe battles.

The fighting between cultivators had much to consider.

Cultivation, Taoist Skill, and physical techniques, those apparent strengths, were certainly important.

But the experience in fighting was also extremely precious.

Without the tempering of real combat, even if one had cultivation, it was all theoretic, not truly powerful.

And the cultivators present were from Great Families, Great Sect Elders, powerful monster cultivators, and even royals from the Great Wilderness.

In their life-and-death struggle, killing moves emerged frequently, with their circulating Taoist Skills, offensive and defensive transitions, there were plenty of references and lessons.

Real combat is the best teacher.

This Golden Core-level battle, Mo Hua couldnʼt yet participate, but he could first learn.

In the future, after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, to integrate all of this into his own skills, gradually becoming a truly formidable Golden Core great cultivator adept in fighting and slaughter.

Mo Huaʼs eyes gradually grew profound, as his gaze circulated, the top-level battle of the Golden Core was meticulously remembered, engraved in his mind.

Suddenly noticing something, Mo Hua furrowed his brows.

Others might not understand, but as a Formation Master, Mo Hua sensed a subtle change happening in the Four Symbols Dragon Pattern on Shen Tuao.

Previously through Calculation, he had restored part of it—it was the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation of the first eighteen Formation Patterns.

In comparison, this perception became more distinct.

The Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation on Shen Tuao indeed was changing, being ”corrected” by the Dragon Vein aura, transforming from an Evil Dragon into a real Azure Dragon.

And by continuing to explore through Calculation, Mo Hua could sense that this change in the Dragon Pattern involved a significant ”evolution” of the Four Symbols Monster Pattern.
