Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1403: Chapter 776 Old Servant_3

Now that things had come to this, the old monster cultivator had nothing to hide, ”It’s like this, I... I had initially prepared for two outcomes.”

”In the best scenario, naturally, form the core, using... that Ouyang boy’s flesh as a medium, to cast a life-bound evil sword, I would then seize another opportunity to form a Golden Core, without having to abandon this mortal body.”

”If this plan failed... I had inquired within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons about some methods to transform the Divine Sense into an Evil Spirit, using this technique, after a gruesome death, when the corpse vanished, the remaining Divine Thought could then enter the Sword Bone, becoming a Sword Demon, residing within the sword.”

Mo Hua’s gaze was sharp, ”I’m afraid that’s not all there is to it...”

The old monster cultivator, resigned, could only speak with difficulty,

”Yes... I originally also intended to use the fresh blood of that Ouyang boy to cast this sword, merging blood and sword. In this way, this Sword Bone would be nurtured into his life-bound evil sword, I would be the Sword Demon within the sword, and he would become my ’Sword Slave’, following my commands...”

Mo Hua nodded, feeling a bit emotional inside.

This old thing really had a deep scheme.

Mo Hua estimated the time, thinking for a moment, then said to the old monster cultivator,

”I won’t kill you for now, you let me out, guide me out of this Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, if I find out you dare deceive me...”

Mo Hua clenched a small fist, smiling coldly, ”Even if you are an Evil Spirit, I will make it so you can’t live, and you can’t die!”

The old monster cultivator said in fear,

”I dare not, I dare not! I will comply with the little ancestor’s orders in all things!”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Let me out.”

”Okay, okay!” The old monster cultivator, as if receiving a great pardon, immediately constrained all demonic thoughts, transforming into a white bone longsword, communicating,

”Touch the White Bone Sword body, and you can leave this Blood Pool.”

Mo Hua frowned, pondered for a moment, and roughly understood a bit.

This sword-casting Blood Pool was an illusionary realm within the sword.

The entrance and exit were the old monster cultivator himself transformed into the White Bone Evil Sword.

Once inside this Blood Pool, to get out, one must either kill this old monster cultivator or let him reveal his true form to open the door, there was no other way out.

Mo Hua glanced around, then thought to himself,

”Perhaps... dismantling the Divine Formation Patterns around, making this Blood Pool illusionary realm unable to seal Divine Thought, allowing it to collapse on its own, would also permit exit.”

However, since the old monster cultivator was so sensible, it was unnecessary to make things difficult for him.

Mo Hua’s fingertip touched the White Bone Evil Sword.

In an instant, the scenery changed, and upon opening his eyes again, he saw Ouyang Mu kneeling in front of him, his eyes red and full of worry.

Seeing Mo Hua open his eyes, Ouyang Mu was stunned, then rejoiced immensely.

”Brother Mo, are you alright?”

The old monster cultivator was dead, the blood mist dispersed, and Mo Hua fell unconscious to the ground, life and death unknown.

Ouyang Mu was unaware of the situation, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Mo Hua awaken at this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Hua nodded, ”It’s alright.”

”What exactly happened, is that old... old wretch completely dead now?” Ouyang Mu still harbored some worry.

”Sort of.” Mo Hua said.

This matter was somewhat complicated and troublesome to explain, so Mo Hua didn’t tell Ouyang Mu.

Moreover, now was not the time to discuss this.

The old monster cultivator had sealed the main door, perhaps it could be covered up for a moment, but over time, it would surely be discovered.

Measures must be taken to cover up.

Others, especially Jin Gui, must not be allowed to know what happened here, otherwise, they would certainly become suspicious.

Saving Little Wood and the others would be all the more difficult.

Mo Hua looked around and frowned.

The Golden Lock Formation, Earth Fire Formation, Di Sha Formation, and Sword Control...

There were too many traces, impossible to erase in the short term.

These means of the cultivators differed from those of the monster cultivators, it could be discerned at a glance.

”Since that’s the case, I can only blow it all up...”

In the Chamber of Evil Instruments, there was greenish bone fire, a turbid Blood Pool, and all sorts of foul-smelling flesh, once exploded, and mixed together.

Evil Qi and Blood Qi would naturally pollute the Spiritual Power traces.

Even if traces of formations and sword control remained, they would be taken as remnants of evil formations and evil swords.

Having thought it through, Mo Hua glanced at Ouyang Mu, ”Little Wood, you’ll have to endure some hardship.”

Ouyang Mu was startled, not quite comprehending, but nevertheless nodded resolutely, ”Brother, you just give the order.”

Mo Hua then said, ”Later, I will blast this house apart to cover the evidence.”

”I’ll select a place for you, you stay inside, when the formations blow up, and rock walls collapse, it might bury you underneath.”

”When those monster cultivators dig you out, pretend to be unconscious.”

”If they ask you what happened, just say that the old monster suddenly went mad, lost his mind, like he had a Deviation, killed the guarding and watching monster cultivators, then closed the door, claiming to perish together with the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons...”

”You ran far away, so you survived.”

”As for the rest, you know nothing.”

Ouyang Mu repeated Mo Hua’s words in his mind, silently memorized them, and then nodded.

Then Mo Hua began to prepare to blow up the house.

The house itself had formations, he only needed to make some tweaks on the original formation framework.

Once all was planned, Mo Hua chose a corner for Ouyang Mu to crouch, covering his head.

It was a place that would be untouched by the damage from the formation.

Even if some falling rocks descended, they wouldn’t harm him.

Then Mo Hua picked up the old monster cultivator’s life-bound Bone Sword.

The old monster cultivator turned into the White Bone Sword Demon resided within this Bone Sword.

Mo Hua stored this Bone Sword in his Storage Bag.

He was counting on this Bone Sword to guide him, after all.

Once everything was ready, Mo Hua stealthily left the Chamber of Evil Instruments, then outside, used Divine Sense to activate the formations within the house.

Instantly, fire and blood light rose in all directions.

The Chamber of Evil Instruments collapsed with a roar, debris flying, causing surrounding monster cultivators to be alarmed.

Before long, Jin Gui, the steward, rushed over.

His face looked worse than pig liver, immediately ordering numerous monster cultivators to unearth the collapsed ruins.

Mo Hua watched from afar.

When Little Wood was dug out and seemed unharmed, Mo Hua quietly left.

Little Wood had great use.

These monster cultivators wouldn’t make things difficult for him for the time being.

And finding out what really happened in the Chamber of Evil Instruments would occupy them substantially.

After leaving, Mo Hua returned to the Formation Pivot Secret Chamber.

He thought about it, then took apart the White Bone Longsword as well.

This sword was too long, carrying it around was inconvenient, so he used his best Artifact Refining skills to dismantle the sword body.

The sword blade was also mostly melted with formations, leaving only a hilt with a small piece of the broken sword.

The old monster cultivator’s evil thoughts now resided within the broken sword.

And it was near the hilt engraved with Divine Formation Patterns.

So even with the sword body broken, the impact wasn’t significant.

Mo Hua grasped the broken bone sword, nodding.

It was much more convenient to carry now.

Next, he had to have this old monster cultivator guide him, to find the route out of the labyrinthine Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

And to locate the final Heavenly Chasm within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons—

The Demon Refining Diagram.

Mo Hua’s eyes shone brightly in the dark night.

He was determined to try, to see if this ”Heavenly Chasm” could indeed obstruct him.

And to see for himself if this Demon Refining Diagram truly housed many Demon Wraiths...
