Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1080: Chapter 673: Divine Tao Array_4 Chapter 1080: Chapter 673: Divine Tao Array_4 “After the Human Race grew strong, the ones who killed the most were humans themselves.”

“This kind of Formation that restrains deities, how can it possibly be more important than a ‘man-killing’ Formation?”

Mo Hua was stunned, showing a thoughtful expression.

“And moreover…”

Lord Yellow Mountain slightly raised his long eyebrows, his eyes revealing a trace of pride:

“Since it’s a ‘Divine Way’ Formation, capable of unleashing the ultimate Divine Thought Power, how could an ordinary Cultivator just learn, understand, or transmit it as they wish?”

“Deities of Heaven and Earth, with overwhelming majestic power, how could they be easily restrained?”

“If someone with weak Divine Thoughts recklessly tries to violate the taboo and desecrate deities, they will surely end up with no place for their corpse!”

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and then looked at Lord Yellow Mountain with puzzlement.

Lord Yellow Mountain, unsettled by Mo Hua’s innocent gaze, immediately softened his “proud” expression and spoke gently and humbly:

“Of course, this is all what I’ve heard. I, a mere Downcast Mountain God, don’t know much…”

Mo Hua looked at Lord Yellow Mountain with a deep gaze.

Lord Yellow Mountain smiled outwardly, but inside, he was extremely nervous.

Fortunately, Mo Hua did not delve deeper, but instead asked another question:

“The ‘Divine Way’ Formation can restrain deities, but what about ‘Divine Thought into Sword’? Does it also involve a Formation?”

Lord Yellow Mountain sighed in relief and explained:

“That’s another matter.”

“Another matter?”

“Yes,” Lord Yellow Mountain nodded, “Not all Cultivators in this world know Formations.”

“Those who can’t learn Formations and need to kill Evil Gods or other powerful Evil Spirits have to ‘find another way.ʼ”

“‘Divine Thought into Sword’ is exactly that.”

“Without knowledge of Formations, and with insufficient Divine Sense, one substitutes swords for Formations, integrating Sword Qi into Divine Thoughts, transforming it into Sword Intent, creating powerful Divine Thought Slaughter Power.”

Lord Yellow Mountain lamented, “Humans may be weak, but indeed have extraordinary intellect.”

“So,” Mo Hua asked again, “what’s the difference between ‘Divine Thought into Sword’ and ‘Divine Way’ Formation?”

Lord Yellow Mountain thought for a moment and nodded:

“‘Divine Way’ Formation is primarily about suppression and restraint, which can be considered a kind of ‘Sealing.ʼ”

“‘Divine Thought into Sword,’ on the other hand, is purely about slaughter.”

Mo Hua asked curiously: “So, does that mean ‘Divine Way’ Formation isn’t as powerful as ‘Divine Thought into Sword’?”

Lord Yellow Mountain said somewhat helplessly:

“How can these be compared? Those who know Formations would definitely prioritize learning ‘Divine Way’ Formation, while those who know Swordsmanship but not Formations would learn ‘Divine Thought into Sword.ʼ”

“The two are utterly different, one is ‘Sealing,’ the other is ‘Killing’…”

“Human’s Divine Sense is inherently weaker and cannot be compared with a deity’s Divine Thoughts.”

“To truly kill an Evil God, a human’s Divine Sense Realm must be much higher than that of the deity. Moreover, it’s likely to be a pyrrhic victory, where even if one succeeds, it comes with great loss.”

“If they fail, it results in God Destruction and Path Obliteration.”

“‘Divine Thought into Sword’ itself is hard to learn, and confronting Evil Gods directly leads to many deaths.”

“‘Divine Way’ Formation is different; although it might not kill an Evil God or some powerful Evil Spirits, by using the Formation to meticulously trap and successfully suppress the Evil Beings, it maintains peace to some extent and allows for ‘overcoming the strong with the weak.ʼ”

Mo Hua suddenly realized and then asked: “Can deities use Formations?”

This question had been on his mind for a long time.

Back then in the Sea of Consciousness, he fought with that golden eyeball.

Initially, the eyeball couldn’t tell whether he was a human or a deity.

Later, when he used a Formation, the eyeball immediately determined that he wasn’t a “deity.”

Mo Hua guessed that perhaps the deities of this world couldn’t use Formations?

Lord Yellow Mountain indeed said: “Deities can’t use Formations.”

“Why?” Mo Hua was very curious.

Lord Yellow Mountain replied: “Deities are naturally endowed, born with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, inherently containing some special Dao origins.”

“And Formations, too, are manifestations of Dao Laws.”

“A Formation encompassing myriad Daos, if its Laws match the deity’s innate, then the deity inherently knows them without needing to learn or use Formations.”

“If the origins differ, the Formation repels the deity’s own Dao, making it impossible for the deity to learn or use them.”

“A deity’s strength lies in the ‘purity’ of its Dao.”

“The more powerful a deity, the deeper its inherent Dao origin. But at the same time, it repels other Laws more strongly and cannot comprehend other Daos.”

“Human beings are different; their Innate Great Dao is weak, so they can continually learn, comprehend Formations, and manipulate the Dao Laws in nature by using Formations.”

Mo Hua suddenly understood.

In simple terms, deities inherently know, so they don’t need to learn.

Cultivators are inherently lacking, so they must comprehend Formations.

In other words…

Deities are naturally advantaged, inherently embracing part of the Dao’s origin, so they can’t learn other Laws.

Cultivators start with nothing, not favored by the Dao, yet they can control myriad Formations and comprehend the heavens’ Dao through learning.

This is like…

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightening:

“Having it is beneficial, not having it is functional?”

Lord Yellow Mountain’s pupils sharply contracted, struggling to speak, and after a long time, it murmured back:

“That’s the principle…”

Yet, in its gaze towards Mo Hua, there was a hint of covert incredulity.
