Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2220 Chapter 1033: Asura (Part 2)

This hideous face interrupted Mo Huaʼs concentrated thoughts.

Mo Hua frowned. ”Did something happen?”

Yet he couldnʼt figure out what could possibly happen...

His understanding of cause and effect was far from advanced enough to reach the realm of strategic contests above Heaven Void.

What he possessed was just a keen intuition of causality.

And a faint resonance with the Evil Embryo, sharing the same origin.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head. ”Forget it, itʼs none of my business. I just need to focus on the sword contest...”

So many things happened at the Qian Learning State Boundary, itʼs impossible for a mere Foundation Building Cultivator to worry about everything.

If the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up.

He wasnʼt the tallest among them.

In fact, among all these people, he was probably the shortest.

Mo Hua calmed his mind and continued to consider the arrangements for the Heaven level sword contest.

Although from the current perspective, the chances of winning were very low, he still had to prepare thoroughly to seize that sliver of opportunity.

After all, his masterʼs life and death were right before him.

Yet Mo Hua couldnʼt fully concentrate.

It seemed as if there was a sensation in the unseen.

That hideous and evil grin would occasionally surface in Mo Huaʼs mind, interrupting his thoughts.

It seemed as if it had achieved something, quite smugly.

Mo Hua was a bit annoyed. ”Laughing again?”

Mo Hua muttered coldly, ”Laugh again, and Iʼll take you in...”

Whether Mo Huaʼs ”threat” worked, and the Evil Embryo sensed danger,

Or it was simply time for it to retreat again,

That ugly face no longer dared to laugh in front of Mo Hua.

Mo Hua nodded and continued undistractedly to study the matters of the sword contest... ...

Night passed and the sun rose, the morning glow was bright and beautiful. On the surface, everything was calm and tranquil.

In the Mount of Tao.

The representative elders of the Four Sects and Eight Gates were gathered before the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, reviewing the list deduced by the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

This list was for the final Earth level sword contest.

For some sects, like the Taixu Gate.

The overall situation of the Earth level sword contest was already determined, the outcome of this final match was insignificant, so they didnʼt pay much attention.

Some sects, however, were more anxious.

Their battles were very tense, with rankings closely contested, a single victory or defeat would decide the sectʼs progress or retreat.

The elders of these sects couldnʼt help but be uneasy.

But such sects were few, most elders held a kind of inexplicable ”relief.”

After the final match, the Earth level contest would be over.

Itʼs like the last exam in a sect assessment; once itʼs over, theyʼll be on vacation, that strange feeling of relaxation.

Although there was still the Heaven level contest afterwards.

There would be a period of rest in between.

Moreover, for most sects, the Heaven level contest was an absolute ”elite level,” something they couldnʼt participate in.

In fact, many sects didnʼt even have a team qualified for the Heaven level contest.

Once the Earth level contest was over, it was effectively the end for them in this sword discussion.

The stage of the Heaven level contest was for those truly outstanding sects and the truly exceptional elite among them.

Nothing much to do with them.

Thus, in a certain sense, this was indeed the last sword discussion.

The outcome, good or bad, aside, once itʼs over, the ”vacation” starts.

No more worries about victories or defeats, no more racking brains to compete with other sects.

In this mindset, where extending or shortening the neck made little difference, the representative elders of each sect opened the list deduced by the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

Suddenly, everyoneʼs expressions changed.

A chill surged through their hearts.

The bright sunlight overhead became sinister and cold.

Even the elders of the Mount of Tao, showed apprehension and disbelief in their eyes.

In the venue, in the hands of every sect and elder, in every list of sword discussions, the deduced sword contest system for all disciples included the same three characters:

Shura Battle! ”Impossible!” ”How could it be a Shura Battle?!”

In the conference hall of the Mount of Tao.

The elders of Mount of Tao and the representative elders of the Four Sects and

Eight Gates were all agitated and discussing: ”Hasnʼt this ancient and barbaric sword contest system been abolished long ago? How could it have been deduced by the Dao Discussion Heaven

Instrument?” ”Did someone tamper with the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument?” ”Who has such great ability?” ”The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument was supposedly the heavenly treasure left by the ancestor of the Mount of Tao, those who could distort its causality and reverse its deduction are few and far between in the entire cultivation world.” ”These great beings, so terrifying in their origins, why would they bother exerting such effort on this?” ”Furthermore, what would they gain?” ”By changing the sword contest system to ʼShura Battle, what is the intention?

Deliberately causing trouble?” ”Bored and seeking amusement?” ”Thatʼs impossible...”

Amidst the continuous disputes, an elder spoke: ”The incident has already occurred, the reasons can be investigated later. The current problem is what to do with the forthcoming sword contest?” ”Should we follow the results deduced by the Dao Discussion Heaven

Instrument?” ”If we follow it, then we must adhere to the ancient system and hold the ʼShura

Battle! ”This would surely stir great controversy. ”If we donʼt follow, then how should we proceed?” ”Discard the deduction results of the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument and create our own list? Or try to let the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument deduce again?”

Upon these words, the room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone frowned in contemplation.

After a moment, someone resolutely said: ”The Shura Battle cannot be continued; itʼs an outdated ancient system that was abolished back then because it was too barbaric, too utilitarian, too heavy on slaughter. Itʼs a blatant ʼsurvival of the fittest, contrary to the essence of Righteous Cultivators united in mind and effort to eliminate demons and uphold the righteous dao.”
