The Quest for Immortality

Back at the Disciple’s Residence, Mo Hua was still contemplating the matter of using the Sword Array as a medium to fuse Formation and Swordsmanship.

The Laws of fusion between Formation and Sword, he had already begun to grasp.

At this moment, he needed to strike while the iron was hot, and gather various types of Sword Arrays. Through understanding these arrays, he could transform more types of Sword Qi to deepen his understanding of Sword Dao, enhancing the techniques and power of his Divine Thought into Sword.

”More Sword Arrays...”

Mo Hua thought for a while, took out the White Bone Broken Sword from the Storage Ring, tapped it on the table and awakened the Sword Bone within it.

”Sword Bone, which Sword Arrays do you know? Tell me everything!”

The Sword Bone’s previous identity was the Evil Sword Master within Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, having forged countless Evil Swords in his lifetime. Naturally, he had gathered quite a few Sword Formation Diagrams.

Mo Hua remembered he had once used a Sword Array to tempt Little Wood.

”This...” The Sword Bone hesitated.

It didn’t want to agree so quickly; otherwise, it would have no Face. At least it wanted to wait a bit, hesitate for a moment, in order to maintain some control...

Mo Hua saw its hesitation and instantly his face darkened:

”If you don’t tell me, I’ll feed you to the dogs!”

The Sword Bone shivered and quickly replied:

”I have! I have! I have Sword Arrays!”

It silently scolded itself:

”Truly a Sword Bone!”

These days, this little ancestor hadn’t paid attention to it, hadn’t exerted pressure upon it. After a period of peace, it had healed its scars and forgotten the pain, almost forgetting what a tough character this little ancestor was.

Indeed, born from adversity, dying from comfort.

This principle holds for Evil Spirits just the same.

The Sword Bone eagerly said, ”Please wait, let me recall, I will tell you very soon.”

Mo Hua coldly said, ”Thirty minutes.”

The Sword Bone nodded repeatedly, ”Yes, yes, thirty minutes is enough.”

Subsequently, the Sword Bone dared not slack off, and immediately recalled what he had learned all his life, and sent several of the most proficient Sword Formation Diagrams, accurately to Mo Hua’s mind in the form of Evil Thoughts.

Mo Hua then transcribed these diagrams one by one.

These diagrams were all considered ”wool,” that he had saved according to the plan.

Because he hadn’t used them before, he hadn’t thought of them at the time. Now that the time was right, he went to gather them.

The Sword Bone transmitted them, Mo Hua noted them down.

After a while, Mo Hua stopped writing, and several Sword Formation Diagrams with sharp Sword Patterns and imposing Sword Qi were laid out before him.

The Sword Formation Diagrams consisted of three.

The first one was Taia Sect’s Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation.

Although named ”Mountain Opening,” it is not of the same origin as Eight Trigrams Gen Formation, it is actually a Five Elements Earth Element Sword Array.

The Earth is thick and carries things with virtue, endlessly regenerating.

This Sword Array emphasizes the continuity of Sword Qi, being heavy and peaceful, neither fast nor slow, skilled at facing the enemy head-on and exhausting in circular combat.

With this Sword Array, forging Spirit Swords is suitable for the close combat of Sword Cultivators, for close-quarter slaughter.

This counts as one of the orthodox Sword Array heritages of Taia Sect.

Sword Bone once was a disciple of Taia Sect, this Sword Array was also transmitted to him personally by the Elder of the tribe during his cultivation in the Sect.

And Sword Arrays are Sect secrets.

The Elder personally transmitting him the Sword Array must have had high hopes for him.

However, fate played a trick; Sword Bone mistakenly entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and became an Evil Sword Master, helping the tyrant, and now is no longer human, reduced to merely a Sword Demon.

The second one was the Gui Water Sword Formation.

Gui Water Sect colluded secretly with Evil Cultivators, likely this Sword Array was leaked by a cultivator from Gui Water Sect to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and then ended up in the hands of the only Evil Sword Master in the valley.

Gui Water Sword Formation is one of the core Sword Arrays of Gui Water Sect, obscure, somewhat sinister, but its power is quite extraordinary.

In Dragon King Temple, when Xiao Zhenhai wielded the Gui Water Sword, it was quite formidable, leaving a deep impression on Mo Hua.

And Gui Water Sect is part of Twelve Streams. Although it committed various unseemly deeds, it is despised by people, but its heritage does have the foundation from Water Prison Sect within it, clearly not ordinary.

This Gui Water Sword Formation, if measured by its intricacy, indeed is a bit inferior to Taia Sect’s Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation.

But truthfully, it is also considered a top-notch Sword Array.

In Qian Learning State Boundary itself, the Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, as well as Twelve Streams, all count as ”elite” schools. The things that can be passed down, none of them are bad.

This Sword Array, if dropped into Tongxian City, which is full of loose cultivators in a second-grade Small Immortal City, if exposed, it would covet everyone’s desire, immediately causing a storm of bloodshed.

After all, the Fifth Grade Qian Learning State Boundary full of noble families, and second-grade Small Immortal City mixed with loose cultivators, in terms of the foundation of heritage, they cannot be compared at all.

If not for having a master to guide him and coincidentally joining Taixu Gate.

Then even something like the Gui Water Sword Formation would be beyond his reach.

Mo Hua felt a bit emotional, then meticulously kept the Gui Water Sword Formation.

The last one was an unknown Li Fire Sword Formation.

Even worse than Gui Water Array, but still barely usable.

According to Sword Bone, this was during his time in Valley of Ten Thousand Demons when a Monster cultivator unknowingly provoked him, and he killed that Monster cultivator, and from his Storage Bag, retrieved this Li Fire Sword Formation.

It appeared to be from the heritage of a small family outside Qianxue State Boundary.

Sword Arrays themselves are rare, and this Li Fire Sword Formation, with decent quality, was saved by Sword Bone.

”Altogether three, Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation, Gui Water Sword Formation, Li Fire Sword Formation...”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then asked the Sword Bone: ”Just this little?”

”Just this little...” Sword Bone’s scalp tingled, complaining, ”My little ancestor, do you realize how rare these Sword Arrays are? I spent hundreds of years in Valley of Ten Thousand Demons casting swords, without knowing day and night, and accumulated only these three pieces of the family’s wealth...”
