Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 689: Chapter 556: Understood_1

In the Demon Palace, silence enveloped ten thousand demons.

Mo Hua was shocked to his core.

So this was his “Uncle”…

So powerful…

He had actually slaughtered all the demon cultivators in the palace to the last one!

Using Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation to seal the Demon Palace, and with Planting Devil in Taoist Heart to slaughter Golden Cores, then manipulating the Golden Cores to besiege the Feather Transformation, forcing it to die under the heavenly tribulation!

These changes were tumultuous and so rapid they were difficult to follow.

In Mo Hua’s heart, they left a profound impression.

“This is ‘Gui Tao’s people’…”

“Carefully calculated and unpredictable, not a single word wasted, trapping when it’s time to trap, killing when it’s time to kill!”

“All the heavens are the Tao.”

“The heavenly tribulation is also a murder weapon!”

All this greatly broadened Mo Hua’s horizons and was immensely beneficial to him.

It was the first time he realized that actions could be taken in such a way, that killing could be done… like this.

What surprised him even more was the Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation.

This formation was entirely different from any he had learned before.

It didn’t belong to the Five-element Formation System and wasn’t part of the Eryi, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Seven Stars, or Eight Trigrams formation systems either.

Even the basic elements of formations: formation media, Formation Patterns, Formation Pivot, and formation eye were very obscure and difficult to understand.

What was the formation media? Was it the Demon Palace itself?

But it seemed not to be just that…

Beyond that, Mo Hua could see the Formation Patterns but also couldn’t understand them.

These Patterns were constantly evolving, continuously deriving, and the formation principles contained within were extremely complex.

There seemed to be no Formation Pivot, and the formation eye, Mo Hua also couldn’t penetrate.

Mo Hua had previously calculated that Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation was based on a special “Calculation Method.”

But now, thinking about it, something seemed wrong.

Calculation was about understanding, dissecting, contemplating, and comprehending a formation.

But this formation seemed more like it was constructed relying on “Calculation”…

This Calculation seemed to help the Formation Patterns to differentiate themselves, to engage in autonomous derivation, constantly generating, which was extremely special and a bit eerie.

Mo Hua frowned.

His master taught him a Calculation Method called Divine Sense Calculation.

But that was the most basic one.

Through Mo Hua’s observation, he found that by mastering this Calculation Method to a deep extent, one could, like his master, calculate Heavenly secrets and infer causality.

Then this kind of Calculation would be more aptly called “Heavenly secret Calculation.”

It’s just that, currently, his own skills were limited, unable to calculate Heavenly secrets, that’s all.

Additionally, by a fortunate coincidence, Mo Hua had learned another kind of Divine Sense calculation method.

It was the Five Elements Sect’s method of summarizing Formation Patterns.

Mo Hua didn’t know what the Five Elements Sect’s Calculation Method was called, but if he were to name it himself, it should be called the “Source Calculation Method,” which seemed more appropriate.

It summarized Formation Patterns, regulating their original streams.

It was a kind of Divine Sense calculation method that summarized Source Patterns.

Then, what should his Uncle’s type of “Calculation” be called?

How was this Calculation different? What was its essence? What were its principles?

Mo Hua tilted his little head back, his eyes bright and sparkling, as he stared at the Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation overhead, completely lost in thought.

The transformations of all the Formation Patterns manifested one by one in Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness.

Formation Patterns were broken by demon cultivators, and yet they repaired themselves;

Formation Patterns were erased by the lightning of tribulation, and yet they derived again;

Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation, layer upon layer, Pattern upon Pattern, blossoming like flowers of the King of Hell, one after another, both ghostly and magnificent, eerie and profound…

Mo Hua didn’t know how long he had been watching when suddenly his eyes widened, the reflections of the myriad changes of the Formation Patterns shimmering within his pupils, as he came to a sudden realization in his heart.

“I understand now!”

“It’s Planting Devil in Taoist Heart!”

This Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation was the same as Planting Devil in Taoist Heart.

Planting Devil in Taoist Heart sows the Demon Seed, and the Demon Thought will spread and parasitize on its own.

Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing lays down Formation Patterns, and the Formation Patterns will also evolve and proliferate autonomously.

The so-called Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation, in essence, was a large-scale, formation-style “Planting Devil in Taoist Heart.”

Planting the Demon Seed within the Formation Pivot of the formation, the Demon Seed generates Formation Patterns, allowing the entire formation to grow complex Patterns interdependently, constantly in flow and difficult to break.

“Planting Devil in Taoist Heart within a formation…”

Mo Hua pondered this, then furrowed his brows again.

“That’s still not right…”

The scenes within the Demon Palace replayed over and over again in Mo Hua’s mind.

Gui Tao’s people exerted their full strength to employ Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, contaminating all the Golden Core Demon Cultivators, inducing madness, thus gaining complete control…

This entire process included…

Dividing the Demon Seed…

Parasitizing the Taoist Heart…

And… the derivation of the Demon Seed, contamination, domination…

Mo Hua’s heart raced with a sudden epiphany.

He had gotten it backward!

It wasn’t that in Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation Planting Devil in Taoist Heart was being used.

Instead, the technique employed by Planting Devil in Taoist Heart was the core Divine Sense Calculation of Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation!

Both stemmed from the same origin, both based on this special, eerie Divine Sense Calculation.

They were both applications of Divine Thought that were exquisitely sophisticated and had reached the pinnacle!

Mo Hua then remembered the Saint Heir, who upon seeing Gui Tao’s people employ Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, wore an expression of disbelief.

Gui Tao’s people’s Planting Devil in Taoist Heart was not what he recognized as Planting Devil in Taoist Heart!

This method of Planting Devil in Taoist Heart was completely different from ordinary methods of implanting Demon Seed.

Because his Uncle’s Planting Devil in Taoist Heart relied on that eerie, special Divine Sense calculation method.

To put it another way, his Uncle’s “Planting Devil in Taoist Heart”…

Contained the supreme method of Divine Thought Calculation!

Mo Hua thought, his shock deepening.

The more he reflected, the clearer it became.

His gaze grew increasingly bright, like the stars in the sky, shining splendidly and dazzlingly.

Mo Hua still looked up, staring at the Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation overhead, but as he watched, something felt amiss, as if a presence had appeared beside him without him knowing.

Mo Hua looked down, only to find his Uncle standing right beside him.
