Chapter 980 -645: Discerning the Spirit Drawing Formation

Hanging Sky Cliff, lone peaks amidst the clouds.

Above the sea of clouds, there was an invisible stone bridge.

Three tall and one short Cultivators, their figures concealed, were walking step by step on the bridge, as if treading through the air, walking on the edge of the heavens with a boundless abyss beneath their feet.

The group couldn’t help but feel awe.

Mo Hua was relatively calm, as this was not his first time walking this bridge.

Though the cliff was higher, the road longer, and the destination more perilous than before, he was accompanied by three “bodyguards.”

One of them was Golden Core Realm Uncle Gu.

It was actually relatively safe.

The stone bridge was empty; there were no other figures.

The group walked forward, step by step.

Mo Hua released his Divine Sense, observing and sensing the surroundings all the way, occasionally warning aloud:

Here lies a Small Yuan Magnetic Formation, there an Earth Explosion Formation, there an Early Warning Formation, there a Gale Formation…

Sin Cultivators had indeed set up many Formations on the stone bridge.

These Formations, either as warnings or traps, were very covertly arranged.

However, naturally, they couldn’t escape Mo Hua’s Divine Sense.

Every Formation along the way was deciphered by Mo Hua.

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua, who walked through myriad Formations untouched and composed, and felt relieved.

It was good that they had brought this child along…

Otherwise, walking on this treacherously Formation-filled stone bridge would have been like treading on thin ice, and reaching the other shore might not have been certain.

Mo Hua led the way, and the three men, including Gu Changhuai, followed him obediently.

Halfway across, the sky above the stone bridge suddenly darkened.

Mo Hua stopped on the bridge.

Behind them was the path through the clouds, clear and sunny.

In front of them, an evil aura pervaded, the lone peak like a demon’s cave, gloomy and oppressive.

The group exchanged glances with determined eyes and continued forward.

Amidst the gloomy evil aura, it was uncertain how long they had walked when they finally saw the cliff.

After the time it would take to drink a cup of tea, the figures concealed themselves and, without alerting any spirits, stepped onto the stone stairs of the cliff opposite and reached the opposite shore.

Before them was a solitary peak surrounded by emptiness, the clouds twining around it.

Like a lonely island in the sea of clouds, it was uninhabited.

At the very center of the lone peak was a large, narrow cave entrance.

The cave was closed, resembling the tightly shut eyes of a demonic beast.

The surrounding rocks were fierce-looking, with protruding stones interlocking like the lashes of a demonic beast, covering the bright red blood in its eyes.

Mo Hua’s gaze slightly sharpened. “Evil Formation

The Formation Master under Fire Buddha was a Second Grade High-Rank Evil Formation Master…

Gu Changhuai looked indifferent, but Gu An and Gu Quan were a bit nervous.

”Little master, can this door be opened?”

It was unclear whether it was Gu An or Gu Quan who asked.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then shook his head:

”This is an Evil Formation, and the Formation is closed, making it impossible to see through the internal Patterns, compounded with it being a Second Grade High-Rank Evil Formation, it can’t be deciphered

”At least I can’t decipher it for the time being

”If it can’t be deciphered, then we can only break through the Formation with brute force

”But such action would create a large commotion, surely alerting Fire Buddha and his people

…

Gu An and Gu Quan frowned deeply.

Gu Changhuai’s handsome eyes silently observed Mo Hua.

Mo Hua understood.

It was Uncle Gu asking him what to do about these Formations.

But he was always somewhat proud, and for a while, he couldn’t bring himself to ask, especially in front of Gu An and Gu Quan.

He was a Supervisor and also a son of the Gu Family; he had his pride to maintain.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and without waiting for Gu Changhuai to ask, he said:

”The Demon’s Cave, though it sounds eerie and terrible, is essentially a type of Tao Cultivation building, and would use architectural Formations

”Therefore, inside this lone peak, there must also be various Formations constructed.”

”I need to first look at the structure of the entire lone peak from the outside, then make an educated guess about the internal Formations, and consider how to enter

”Good,” Gu Changhuai nodded.

So, Mo Hua, with hands clasped behind his back and head raised, inspected the lone peak as if he was “surveying” it, while sensing the Formations within.

Gu Changhuai and the other two men followed silently behind, vigilant and watching their surroundings, like three potential “followers.”

After walking around the peak, Mo Hua found a quiet place, took a stone as a table, spread out Formation Paper, and began to initially reconstruct the outer Formation structure of the Demon’s Cave.

He recalled the Spirit Traces of the Formations he had sensed from the rocky surface, and drew the Formation Patterns on the paper.

He occasionally lifted his head, capturing the entire peak in his gaze, correcting the connections of the Formations…

Moments later, an outline of the outer Formations of the Demon’s Cave, constructed from Patterns, gradually emerged on the paper…

Gu Changhuai’s pupils constricted, looking at Mo Hua, he murmured:

”Distinguishing Spirit Drawing Formation

”Distinguishing Spirit Drawing Formation?” Mo Hua was a bit taken aback and asked Gu Changhuai, “What is Distinguishing Spirit Drawing Formation?”

Gu Changhuai paused, “It’s what you are doing

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, then understood.

Identifying external Formation Divine Forces and reconstructing internal Formation structures were called “Distinguishing Spirit Drawing Formation.”

He had always thought this was just basic Formation Calculation; he hadn’t expected it to have so many fancy terms…

Mo Hua exclaimed: “Uncle Gu, you know so much

Gu Changhuai:

If it weren’t for Mo Hua’s earnest and clear gaze, he would have almost suspected that Mo Hua was “sarcasm

After more than half an hour, Mo Hua initially reconstructed the outer Formation Diagram of the “Demon’s Cave.”

On the paper was a Demon’s Cave.

But this “Demon’s Cave” seemed to be “x-rayed” by Divine Sense, without the appearance of rocks and vegetation, revealing the internal “skeleton” of various Patterns and Formation Pivots.
