Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2340: Chapter 1071: Divine Thought Cultivator (Part 3)

At the same time, he was more afraid of something going wrong in this process, which would render all previous efforts futile.

This way, not only would the evil god not be killed, but the child wouldn’t be saved, and the hardship the Wenren family’s girl endured would be for naught.

True Man Situ frowned, filled with worry.

Fortunately, after an unknown amount of time, a brilliant golden light dazzled from the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction Talisman. A divine thought bridge was finally completed, and a blood strand thicker than water extended into the depths of the golden bridge, leading to some unknown dreamland.

Meanwhile, within the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, the instrument body of the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction began to emit light, rotating softly, bolstered by the mysterious power of some divine beast, continuously consolidating and maintaining the stability of the ’Dream Attraction Bridge.’

It’s done!

True Man Situ’s spirits were lifted immediately. With a twist of his fingers, he sent a stream of divine thought into the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction, then, using the power of this treasure, he nurtured Wenren Wan’s sea of consciousness and fed a pill that eased pain and nourished her spirit into her mouth.

Wenren Wan’s suffering faded, and she slowly closed her eyes, drifting off into slumber.

It seemed as if she had entered dreamland, searching for her only child within.

"Alright..."

True Man Situ let out a sigh of relief, then turned around to look at the line of thirteen cultivators behind him, each with different attires and expressions, but all with sharp eyes and formidable auras:

"We can enter the dream as well."

Including True Man Situ, there were fourteen people, the chosen ones for this mission to "slay" the evil god.

The Great Dream Heavenly Attraction could only "guide" a limited number of people.

The "consciousness bridges" of Wenren Wan also had limited capacity.

Therefore, fourteen people was the upper limit for this "god-slaying" mission.

These candidates were, naturally, carefully selected.

Among these fourteen people, ten had reached Feather Transformation, and four were Hollow Void, all of whom had a considerable study of the way of divine thought.

Among the ten Feather Transformation cultivators, there were sect cultivators, wandering Taoists, monks, a female true person in white, an old woman, three brothers, and a big man with runes painted on his body...

Some of these cultivators were guest elders from major sects at the Qianxue State boundary, who had devoted themselves to studying the divine way.

Some were outsiders who came to observe, with hidden family knowledge of the divine way.

And some were wandering scattered cultivators, roaming as Taoists across state boundaries. In their youth, they had extraordinary encounters and, under the blessing of luck, comprehended some divine skills, and since then, roamed the world, slaying evils and spirits, accumulating karmic merit.

As for the four Hollow Void.

One was a patriarch of the Daluo Sect.

His temper might be poor, and he wasn’t on good terms with the Taixu Gate, but he had always loathed evil. Moreover, he couldn’t forget the Taixu Gate’s Divine Thought Sword Transformation, so he had also pondered some spell points in the Divine Thought Sword Dao himself.

Whether it’s effective or not, he’s not sure, but at least it can be used.

Another one was the patriarch of Little Spirit Sect among the Qian Learning Hundred Gates.

He roughly understood some skills of divine thought confrontation and, knowing his life was nearing its end, hoped to secure a future for his sect.

If the plan failed and he died, there was nothing more to say.

But if it succeeded and the Qianxue State boundary was preserved, then regardless of life and death, he would have contributed.

Little Spirit Sect was promised a place among the upper echelons of the Qian Learning Hundred Gates, with a significantly increased spirit stone share.

This was the last thing he could do for the sect.

The other two, one was the patriarch of the Twelve Streams.

The other was a Hollow Void from a medium sect in Kun State.

The remaining Hollow Void Ancestors of the Qianxue State boundary, though more powerful, weren’t suited for such risks.

Some of them might have cultivated the Heavenly Mechanism Causality method, but they only knew "deduction," not how to repel or kill evil spirits using divine thought.

Each field has its specialization.

Especially since this time, their opponent was the "Evil God."

Sending Hollow Void who don’t understand the divine way to confront the Evil God would be even more frightening.

It would be uncertain whether they would end up as foes or allies.

Moreover, these Hollow Void Ancestors of the Qianxue State boundary mostly held high positions, bearing the rise and fall of entire families or sects on their shoulders, so they couldn’t truly take such risks.

The ten Feather Transformation ones possessed notable divine sense and had cultivated one or two exquisite divine thought skills.

The four Hollow Void had a slightly weaker skill in divine thought, but their Hollow Void divine sense was strong enough.

Therefore, these fourteen people formed the strongest divine thought cultivator group that could be assembled in the Qianxue State boundary at the time.

In general terms, this divine way group was already incredibly strong, even considered "invincible."

But True Man Situ’s heart was still heavy.

After all, their opponent this time was not an ordinary evil spirit...

With all preparations in place, True Man Situ was ready to set off when he was suddenly stopped by Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun gazed at True Man Situ, contemplating for a moment, and slowly said, "Let me go instead."

He was a fifth-grade Formation Master, who had studied formations his entire life and spent his later years pouring his efforts into the Heavenly Mechanism Causality skill. In terms of combat, he might fall short, but with his Hollow Void divine sense foundation, he could definitely help if he went.

Moreover, he was not at ease leaving Mo Hua behind.

True Man Situ shook his head, "I need you to preside over the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, Elder Xun, and also..."

True Man Situ lowered his voice, "With Taixu Gate’s Three Mountains united, the family is vast and can’t manage without you..."

True Man Situ shared a rapport with Elder Master Xun.

They had once discussed the Heavenly Mechanism Causality and exchanged insights on Taoist cultivation.

They were both teacher and friend to each other, treating each other as equals in daily life, but there was a certain etiquette in how they addressed each other.

Elder Master Xun sighed softly and didn’t insist further.

True Man Situ hesitated for a moment, contemplating something, and eventually asked softly, "Elder Dugu, he..."

Elder Master Xun’s gaze grew desolate, and he shook his head.

True Man Situ felt regret deep in his heart.

After much deliberation, he thought that the only divine thought technique that truly held great assurance of successfully slaying the evil god was the Taixu Gate’s ancient, formidable, and ferocious Divine Thought Sword Technique—the Tai Xu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue.

Moreover, it must be cultivated to the extreme, with the entire sword intent condensed into one, that final Divine Thought Sword Move:

Godslaying Sword.

If wielded with a Hollow Void divine thought, no, even a Feather Transformation divine thought, the Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword Technique would indeed possess a significant chance of completely killing the newly born, yet to develop Evil God True Embryo within its embryo.

But sadly...

The only one capable of advancing the Divine Thought Sword Transformation to the "God-slaying" realm was Elder Dugu, trapped in the Sword Tomb, barely clinging on like a candle in the wind.

This Sword Technique had been sealed, never to see the light of day again.

And now, above Feather Transformation in Taixu Gate, there was no one who could perform the Divine Thought Sword Transformation anymore.

True Man Situ was filled with emotions, reflecting on the once-illustrious and peerless Dugu Patriarch of Taixu Gate’s current fate, feeling a sense of kinship with the misfortune of others, his heart filled with sorrow.

Those who embarked on the path of divine thought had entangled themselves in karmic knots they shouldn’t have, eventually finding it challenging to meet a good end, and even hoping for a peaceful conclusion seemed like a luxury.

True Man Situ sighed and said no more, but solemnly cupped his hands towards Elder Master Xun.

This parting might be one of life and death unknown.

If dead, then it was death. If alive, they might not truly be living.

Elder Master Xun also looked on with a somber gaze, giving a solemn bow in return.

The other numerous Hollow Void Ancestors rose as well, bowing towards True Man Situ and the remaining thirteen Feather Transformation and Hollow Void cultivators.

True Man Situ and the others returned the salute.

Afterwards, everything proceeded according to plan.

Thirteen divine thought cultivators, along with True Man Situ, stepped into the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation. With the aid of the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction, connected by the bond between mother and child, they formed a bridge with their divine senses, collectively projecting their primordial spirits out of the body, invading the nascent nightmare of the evil god, intending to nip this world-threatening embryo in the bud...
