Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1342: Chapter 757 Truth

The blood-colored creek flows gently, stretching into the distance with no end in sight.

Inside, it’s not clear whether it’s Monster Blood or Human Blood flowing.

The stones on the creek banks, soaked in blood for years, have become covered in a layer of dried blood paste, showing a bizarre black-red color.

There are also Monster Beasts’ bones around, with bite marks on them, as if chewed by someone or something unknown.

These bones, scattered on both sides, piled together, look like a White Bone riverbank.

Mo Hua and Xun Ziyou’s gazes were somewhat heavy.

Such a large number of Monster Bones indicates that a vast number of Monster Beasts died here.

Likewise, this also implies that the Monster Cultivators hidden here probably aren’t just a small number.

Immediately, a doubt arose in both of their hearts simultaneously:

Where did these Monster Cultivators come from?

Mo Hua glanced at Xun Ziyou, who had a furrowed brow, and asked in a low voice:

”Elder Xun, have you seen this White Bone place before?”

Xun Ziyou pondered for a moment, though unwilling to admit it, he had to sigh:

”I have been on duty here in the Refining Demon Mountain for twenty to thirty years, and I’ve never seen this sight of the blood creek and white bones before...”

”Nor have I seen the Monster Cultivators.” Xun Ziyou added.

Mo Hua contemplated for a moment, and then asked:

”Elder Xun, is it really impossible for outsiders to enter the Refining Demon Mountain?”

Xun Ziyou said gravely: ”The surroundings of the Refining Demon Mountain are sealed by Formation. Except for Sect Disciples and a few Elders on duty, no cultivator could possibly enter the Refining Demon Mountain...”

At this point, Xun Ziyou suddenly paused, understanding Mo Hua’s meaning, his gaze shook slightly:

”You mean... these Monster Cultivators are Sect Disciples?”

Mo Hua corrected him: ”’Were’ Sect Disciples.”

Xun Ziyou felt a chill in his heart, and then even colder on his back.

In this case, things could be far more severe than he thought.

Demon Monsters are despised by the Righteous Dao, not tolerated by Taoist Law, and banned by the Taoist Court.

If it’s really as Mo Hua said, the appearance of a large number of Monster Cultivators here signifies a massive descent into demonhood among the disciples.

This would be the biggest ”scandal” within the Qian Learning State Boundary to date.

The whole Qian Learning State Boundary would experience a huge shock.

”We must investigate thoroughly!”

Find out who had such audacity to lure, condone, and shelter so many disciples to become Demon Path cultivators!

Xun Ziyou’s gaze was cold.

He wanted to move closer to the White Bone riverbank for a look but was suddenly stopped by Mo Hua.

”We can’t leave this forest.” Mo Hua said.

Xun Ziyou paused.

Mo Hua pointed to the dense woods, ”There’s a Divine Tao Array in this forest blocking Divine Sense’s perception...”

”This is a double-edged sword, concealing the traces of Monster Cultivators while also, in turn, concealing our presence.”

”But it’s different ahead. At the blood creek and White Bone place, there’s not a single blade of grass, no forest coverage, nor any Divine Tao Array.”

”If we go over, it’s possible that we’ll be seen clearly.”

Xun Ziyou frowned, ”What about using a Concealment Spiritual Tool?”

Mo Hua asked, ”Elder Xun, do you have a Concealment Spiritual Tool?”

”Yes,” Xun Ziyou nodded, ”I don’t usually carry it, but recently I’ve been keeping it with me.”

Mostly to invisibly track you...

Xun Ziyou silently thought.

Mo Hua nodded slightly, thought for a moment, but then shook his head, ”It’s not just about concealment. There’s probably also Formation...”

”Formation?”

”Yes,” Mo Hua pointed at the White Bone place, ”beneath these bones, there’s still Formation buried. Though I don’t know what kind of Formation, it’s very bizarre, going recklessly could certainly be big trouble.”

”Concealment also likely won’t work...”

These are what he just discovered.

Monster Cultivators wouldn’t throw the remains of Monster Beasts here without reason.

If they did so, there must be a reason.

With a mere glance, Mo Hua knew that underneath the bones, the bloody and evil aura concealed the energy of the Formation.

This is an Evil Formation.

And seemingly not just any ordinary Evil Formation.

”Going over just like that, causing disturbances, would certainly be discovered. Golden Core Monster Cultivators are one thing, but if there are Feather Transformation Realm ones...”

”There are no Feather Transformation Realm ones.” Xun Ziyou said.

Mo Hua was surprised, ”Really none?”

”None,” Xun Ziyou affirmed, ”When the Refining Demon Mountain was first built, the senior who sealed the mountain with Formation also limited the cultivation level of Outer Mountain cultivators with Formation.”

”Nearby the Outer Mountain, the highest cultivation is Golden Core.”

Mo Hua’s pupils constricted slightly, ”Heavenly Dao Formation?!”

Xun Ziyou was surprised, ”What Heavenly Dao Formation?”

Mo Hua pointed upward, ”It’s the Robbery Thunder in the sky...”

Xun Ziyou realized, shook his head, ”There’s no Large Formation in the sky. You’re talking about the restrictions of Heavenly Dao Law.”

Mo Hua then recalled, his master had mentioned that Heavenly Dao Formation is just a legend, and most cultivators didn’t believe there was a large formation in the sky.

But Mo Hua knew the Heavenly Dao Formation existed.

Because he truly had seen it with his own eyes.

”Yes!” Mo Hua nodded, ”It’s the restrictions of Heavenly Dao Law.”

Xun Ziyou shook his head: ”That’s different. The Nine State divides levels; using Superior cultivation in a lower-grade state boundary will be obliterated by Heavenly Dao.”

”But this power of Heavenly Dao Law’s restrictions is fundamentally beyond what a cultivator can control.”

”The mountain-sealing formation here at the Refining Demon Mountain couldn’t possibly have such power.”

”This mountain-sealing formation is actually an expulsion formation. When a Feather Transformation Realm cultivator enters the Refining Demon Mountain, it first sends a warning.”

”If they don’t leave within thirty minutes.”

”The mountain-protecting formation of the Refining Demon Mountain will activate the Fifth-grade spatial formation within the Compound Formation, forcibly expelling the Feather Transformation Realm cultivator from the Refining Demon Mountain...”

”Why expel Feather Transformation?” Mo Hua asked, ”Is it fearing they might do something bad?”

”Exactly,” Xun Ziyou nodded, ”to watch over these disciples, Golden Core Elders are sufficient. If a Feather Transformation Realm Elder were allowed in and they suddenly went crazy and turned into a demon, they could wreak havoc in the Refining Demon Mountain.”
