Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2316: Chapter 1064: Decapitation

In the center of the Blood Sacrifice Array, within the Blood and Flesh Maze.

Mo Hua was still examining the human skin Mr. Tu had given him, studying the imprint upon it, the Formation Pivot of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Mo Hua looked while gesturing with his hands, his brows furrowed tightly.

This time, he didn’t need to pretend he couldn’t learn it, because this Formation Pivot was indeed challenging for him to grasp.

The Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, Mo Hua was quite familiar with.

But the Formation Pivot before him wasn’t merely the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation. More accurately, it was "grafted" onto the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, with the Great Wilderness Lineage inheritance, used to accomplish the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice "ritual formation."

At the same time, it was also an "offering" Evil Formation.

Despite its basic principles being related to Divine Law, the means were cruel and bloody, not simply "pure" evil, but also beyond the scope of normal formations that Mo Hua studied.

Moreover, he had to guard against Mr. Tu.

Though now he and Mr. Tu, one teaching and one learning, got along relatively well.

Yet Mo Hua didn’t believe that Mr. Tu was truly benevolent, teaching him formations without reserve due to "being eager for talent."

One must have a defensive heart.

Thus, Mo Hua had to carefully discern the sinister and cruel parts within this Blood Sacrifice Formation Pivot, being extremely cautious, lest he fall victim to Mr. Tu’s machinations.

Meanwhile, he also had to meticulously study the framework of this Blood Sacrifice Array.

Even more, he had to extrapolate and think deeper about how the core of this Blood Sacrifice Array integrates and fits with the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation. How the internal array power operates, completes the cycle, and finally closes the loop.

Not only did he have to learn, but also to master and stand on Mr. Tu’s level, even above Mr. Tu, on the "deity’s" position, to comprehend the complete ritual of the Blood Sacrifice and deification, mastering the principles of fusion and unification between the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice and the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation.

This required a powerful Divine Sense, profound Array knowledge, and consumed vast amounts of mental energy.

There was much to think about and comprehend, learning naturally progressed slower.

Mr. Tu occasionally glanced at Mo Hua, seen Mo Hua focused on learning the Blood Sacrifice Formation Pivot, did not disturb him, only his gaze flickered as thoughts crossed his mind, then he quietly left.

And Mo Hua, immersed in the world of formations, did not pay attention to Mr. Tu for a while.

Thus, time passed.

Mo Hua pondered deeply, repeatedly learning, repeatedly drawing, yet failing again and again, until his Divine Sense was exhausted, then sitting in meditation, and continued practicing, continued researching...

Mo Hua dedicated immense effort.

However, this was after all a core of the Evil Path Great Formation, the structure too grand.

And Mo Hua’s "ambition" too great, the formation principles he aimed to comprehend too profound, hence in a short time, encountered countless failures...

Once again drawing yet failing repeatedly, his Divine Sense exhausted, Mo Hua halted temporarily, sighed.

It was at this moment, Mo Hua’s expression froze, turned around, found Mr. Tu standing beside him at some unknown time.

Mr. Tu glanced at the pile of wasted formation drafts Mo Hua had failed to draw, said nothing, but extended his long and pale hand, handed over several items:

Wax-yellow human skin.

Bright red human blood.

And a pen made from human bone.

Mo Hua’s expression changed upon seeing this.

Mr. Tu said: "I won’t force you, but if you cannot learn and your deep contemplation yields no insight, these items can save time and effort, aiding your understanding of the formation."

Seeing Mo Hua’s puzzled expression, Mr. Tu patiently explained:

"Humans, as the leader of all living beings, are born with a spiritual nature."

"Everything about the human body, whether skin, flesh, bone, blood, tendon, veins, organs... are valuable, can be used for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Rune making, all have wonderful uses."

"The same goes for Drawing Formation."

"Holding the Bone Pen, Divine Sense becomes more active; with Blood Ink, the mind feels harmonious; drawing on human skin, the strokes flow more smoothly... whether learning formations, understanding formations, drawing formations, all becomes twice as effective."

"Especially when your Divine Sense level, your formation attainment, reaches a bottleneck, using the Human Bone Pen, Human Blood Ink, Human Skin Paper to draw formations will temporarily break through this bottleneck, letting you appreciate the subtleties of the next realm."

"What was previously unattainable, will become easier to comprehend. What was previously puzzling, will suddenly become clear as day..."

Mr. Tu’s originally hoarse voice became smooth as mellow wine.

Mo Hua bit his lip tightly, showing a struggling expression.

Mr. Tu, seeing Mo Hua’s expression, said calmly:

"If I guessed right, your Divine Sense is just a sliver away from reaching Twenty Patterns..."

Mo Hua panicked, quickly shook his head denying:

"No, I’m still far behind."

Mr. Tu’s pupils narrowed slightly, guessed that a Taixu Gate elder must have specially instructed Mo Hua to keep his true Divine Sense Realm secret from outsiders.

However, he really is just a step away...

The gap between Nineteen Patterns and Twenty Patterns is a Heavenly Chasm.

No one knew this gap better than Mr. Tu.

And now, Mo Hua at Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, really is just a short distance away, his Divine Thought could Core Formation at Twenty Patterns.

Mr. Tu marveled and pondered.

"Just what kind of ’Divine Gift’ did the Fierce God of Taixu Gate bestow upon him, to let his Divine Sense grow to such an extent..."

Claiming he’s the deity’s natural child wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Mr. Tu felt an indescribable jealousy.

While he felt fortunate to be treated as a dog by the Divine Lord.

And this youth before him, actually treated as offspring by a deity, favored immensely?

Soon, Mr. Tu forcibly dissipated the grievance in his heart, turned with a faint smile on his lips, spoke to Mo Hua:
