The Quest for Immortality

”The refining of the formation eye of the Blood Sacrifice Formation, the flow of the formation pivot, and the construction of the formation must never be known to outsiders.”

”And the only one who knows the method to construct the Blood Sacrifice Formation is the one whom all heretical demons call ’Mr. Tu’.”

”This Mr. Tu, clearly I have locked onto him with the Heavenly Mechanism Lock, suppressing him with the power of the Seven Stars Formation, leaving him unable to create the Blood Sacrifice Formation.”

”But now... another person has emerged, assisting Mr. Tu in etching this ’rebellious’ Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.”

True Man Situ’s face was full of wrinkles, solemn, and his tone was extremely grave, ”The esoteric meaning of the Blood Sacrifice is not something everyone can learn.”

”Within, it mixes ancient formations, Great Wilderness witchcraft, blood sacrifice rituals, and taboos of the Divine Way... Those who can learn such esoteric meanings are, like Mr. Tu, with extraordinary divine sense, exceptionally gifted, with cunning intellect, a superior heretical demon ’evil embryo,’ who might easily become a Great Demon disrupting the Heavenly Dao.”

”This person is a significant ’hidden trouble.’

”What’s even stranger is...”

True Man Situ frowned, ”I once attempted to use the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation to connect with the power of the Mystic Sky stars, to annihilate this ’helper of tyranny’ directly from the heavens, but I couldn’t... lock onto his heavenly secret...”

”Either this person has great causality, or he possesses a supreme treasure that avoids causality and killing.”

”I come from afar, unaware of the recent situation at the Qianxue State Boundary, not expecting such a character near Mr. Tu...”

True Man Situ looked at a group of Heaven Void elders and asked:

”Do any of you know who this person is?”

The hall fell silent for a moment, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

Many of the Heaven Void ancestors had their suspicions.

But such matters were not convenient to speak of. Everyone just silently looked at Elder Master Xun on the side.

Elder Master Xun closed his eyes, pretending to be like a still water.

”Let’s talk about this later...” A Heaven Void personage, of profound virtue and fairy-like demeanor, from Mount of Tao, spoke:

”The urgent matter now is to find a way to contain the Blood Sacrifice Formation, to avoid a catastrophe in the Qianxue State Boundary.” .

He looked up at the blood-red sky, sighed, and said in a deep voice, ”We... underestimated these beasts.”

”The ambition of this Blood Sacrifice Formation is too grand...”

With these words, the expressions of the Lords present became slightly solemn.

When the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation was initiated, although they found it troublesome, they were not too anxious in their hearts.

After all, it’s just a quasi-Third Grade grand formation; to weaken the foundation of a Fifth grade Qianxue akin to a dream.

In fact, many Heaven Void elders, who have cultivated for many years, have already become cold-hearted, indifferent to the so-called ”blood sacrifice.”

A blood sacrifice, nothing more than more deaths.

Anyway, the ones dying are the unseen loose cultivators, low-grade cultivators around Qianxue.

As long as none of their family, sect disciples die.

It’s only to maintain Qianxue’s reputation, to answer to the Taoist Court, that they’re forced to exert great effort to deal with these heretical demons.

But as the situation progressed, as the Blood Sacrifice Formation spread, those who studied heavenly secrets and formations among them realized that this Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation is far from simple, and Mr. Tu’s ambition is much greater than they thought...

Not to mention, this involves the resurrection of the ”Evil God,” previously almost only existing in Taoist ancient texts.

Most of the Heaven Void elders were skeptical.

But as the Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, True Man Situ was filled with an unbearable fear.

True Man Situ took a deep breath, his heart slightly trembling, and said to everyone:

”The Evil God is the true fear within the causality of heavenly secrets...”

”Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice may not surely bring such fear to the world. But we must guard against it.”

”The Blood Sacrifice Formation must be contained or even destroyed at all costs.”

”We must never allow this Blood Sacrifice Formation to be fulfilled, creating even the slightest opportunity for the birth of an Evil God.”

”I will find a way to use the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, through the Blood Sacrifice Formation, to lock onto that Mr. Tu. As long as his divine sense leaks out, exposing his trace, the rays of the Seven Stars shall descend and obliterate him. Even if he survives, he would be heavily wounded.”

”However, the mysteries of the Seven Stars Formation cannot be mastered by my strength alone. I ask all of you to lend this old man a hand.”

All the Heaven Void ancestors nodded in agreement:

”Naturally.”

Within the crowd, Elder Master Xun opened his eyes, also looking at the blood-red formation on the horizon, frowning.

Of course, he was concerned about the matter of the Evil God.

The imminent catastrophe in the Qianxue State Boundary, the future of the Taixu Gate, worried him.

But what he worried about even more was that child, Mo Hua.

Not just worry, even a little afraid.

”This child mingles among demons and monsters; now... what has he become? What exactly is he doing?”

Elder Master Xun frowned deeply.

...

Deep within the Blood and Flesh Maze of the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Mo Hua was still the same Mo Hua, still ”working” for Mr. Tu.

Previously, his ”work” was to draw basic formations, which was considered ”errands.”

But now he was different; he was drawing the core formation pivot of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation for Mr. Tu, using the Great Wilderness Bone Carving Skill.

He could now ”take over” part of Mr. Tu’s work to a certain extent.

If he continued to muddle through like this, it wouldn’t be long before he could replace him, be ”Mr. Tu” himself, to resurrect the Great Wilderness Evil God.

Of course, the premise is that he must keep up with the realm.

No matter how turbulent, how bloody the external situation is, Mo Hua’s eyes were only on the formations.

He was still diligently drawing the Blood Sacrifice Formation for Mr. Tu.

And the position he was in now was atop the formation eye, at the center of the pivot.

The entire Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation lay beneath his feet.

His field of vision was incredibly broad, almost overseeing the entire layout of the formation.

What Mr. Tu hoped he would learn, Mo Hua learned it all.

What Mr. Tu didn’t want Mo Hua to learn, Mo Hua didn’t miss a thing; he learned it all.

As a ”worker,” naturally, one must have a ”learning in secret” mentality.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to progress, impossible to turn the tables and become the master.

Even Mr. Tu himself didn’t know what Mo Hua secretly learned.

As Mo Hua became more involved, drew more, saw more, comprehended more, the entire rhythm of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice became more apparent in his mind.

Previously at Yanluo Mountain, unable to comprehend because he only saw a part, now everything was suddenly clear.

On the ancient beast’s massive bones, as Mo Hua painted, he suddenly froze, his pupils contracting sharply, then took a deep breath.

He understood.

Understood what Mr. Tu was ultimately trying to do.

Why he dared to initiate the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation under the eyes of so many Heaven Void elders, major families, sects, and the Fifth grade Taoist Court gathered at the Qianxue State Boundary...

Mo Hua, frowning in thought, reconstructed the complete formation pivot of the Blood Sacrifice Formation in his mind.

Using these pivots as nodes, corresponding with various state boundaries in the Qianxue region in the real world.

”Luan Mountain City, Mistwater City, along the Mistwater River, Bishan City, north of Solitary Mountain City, south of Qingzhou City at Yishan City...”

”All these Second and Third Grade cities have altars. These altars are individual nodes, linked by the veins of blood underground, forming a surround that completely seals within the Fifth grade Qianxue State Boundary.”

”A quasi-Third Grade grand array can’t threaten a Fifth grade state boundary.”

”Then construct a Blood Sacrifice Formation using the ’parallel’ pivots of Second and Third Grade state boundaries. Then, with the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao Laws, the threat of the Evil God’s power, completely seal off the Fifth grade state boundary, slowly polluting it, slowly eroding it...”

”Ultimately, completely devour the Fifth grade state boundary!”

To conquer the high tier with a lower tier, to kill the high realm with a lower realm.

Mo Hua’s heart trembled.

This macrocosmic formation conceptualization, which he had never seen or thought of before, was now deeply etched into his Sea of Consciousness.
