Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2761: Chapter 107: The Heart of Taotie

Mo Hua was shaken by this enormous system of laws, unable to find peace for a long time.

The Taotie Law is the prerequisite for Dragon Transformation.

First comes Taotie devouring the monsters, then comes the myriad monsters transforming into dragons.

First comes Taotie devouring myriad monster patterns, then comes the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Map...

But why?

Mo Hua frowned, still feeling there were too many laws and patterns here that puzzled him.

Taotie... devouring formations?

Is this really possible?

Taotie is a fierce beast, how could it devour formations?

”Is it because... Taotie is a Law Beast that can devour all things under heaven and earth, naturally it can also devour ’laws’. And the manifestation of laws is formations, so devouring formations is essentially devouring laws?”

”Or perhaps, Taotie is not simply ’devouring’ laws.”

”It’s just following its instinct to devour flesh. But all things under heaven and earth, including all kinds of human spirits, are born with the will of heaven and earth, inherently carrying a certain amount of laws. After being devoured by Taotie, the flesh is refined, and the laws naturally get ’digested’, which means devouring laws?”

But regardless of the internal principle, at least devouring laws and devouring formations, these things can be largely explained in Mo Hua’s understanding.

Devour formations, digest them, then produce ”residual patterns”...

So how should these ”residual patterns” be understood?

It’s impossible that... they are Taotie’s ”excrement”, right?

Mo Hua showed disdain, but after thinking for a bit, felt it was wrong.

For divine beasts or heaven and earth fierce beasts, does ”excrement” really exist?

If Taotie devours formation patterns containing laws, even if what it excretes is truly ”excrement”, it is the ”excrement” of the Dao and laws.

This is far more precious than most treasures and gems in this world.

The only question is, why are these ”residual patterns” excreted by Taotie?

Because these residual patterns are ”remnants” of laws, ”defective products”.

Or just because they are repelled at the level of the Dao, resulting in them being ejected from Taotie’s body?

Perhaps even completely the opposite, they are completely ”assimilated” after digestion by Taotie, hence cannot be absorbed by Taotie anymore, so they are excreted?

Or perhaps, this ”excretion” of laws is entirely random? Purely by chance?

All these possibilities have a certain level of plausibility.

Mo Hua could not determine which possibility is correct.

After all, he is human, not Taotie, has never ”devoured” laws, nor ”excreted” laws, hasn’t even witnessed Taotie devouring laws.

Without firsthand observation or experience, it’s naturally impossible to understand.

Mo Hua temporarily set aside this part and continued thinking further.

Taotie devours laws, eats formations, digests them, then excretes ”residual patterns”...

These ”residual patterns” adhere to white bones or ancient remains, gathered by Barbaric Cultivators from ancient times, then reassembled and fused into certain seemingly ”abnormal” but very powerful Four Symbols Beast Pattern formations.

And these formations are the holy pattern inheritance system of barbaric ancestors?

The Bone Heavy Armor from Shugubu is like this too?

Mr. Tu’s attempt at myriad monsters transforming to the dragon also follows this kind of law inheritance?

Broadly speaking, is this the law of Dragon Transformation of the Great Wilderness?

The Ancient Formation Masters of the Great Wilderness actually used these ”residual patterns” to piece together a ”dragon”?

Mo Hua was secretly shocked, but there was still a point he couldn’t understand.

Why must they be devoured by Taotie, decomposed into ”residual patterns”, before they can be assembled into a dragon, and various other countless and strange Great Wilderness totem beast patterns?

Can it work without being devoured by Taotie?

Mo Hua thought for a moment, feeling it probably can’t work.

Myriad monsters, beasts, and things are born from heaven and earth, yet possess individuality, being fundamentally different.

Different species cannot interbreed.

Thus, the Dao and laws between different species are naturally also different.

So are all kinds of monsters and beasts.

If they haven’t been devoured by Taotie once, their flesh and laws, and the ”formation patterns” formed by laws, are likely unable to coexist and merge into one.

”But after Taotie devours them once, why can they then be fused?”

Mo Hua had another doubt arise within.

He calmed his mind, relying on his own knowledge and understanding of laws, continued to deduce, and then speculated:

Various monster beasts, creatures, formation patterns, and celestial laws etc., after being indiscriminately devoured by Taotie, undergo a cycle in Taotie’s belly, then get digested and decomposed.

This actually is also a process of ”assimilation”.

After being devoured and digested by Taotie, the residual ”monster patterns” naturally carry a kind of Taotie nature, possessing a certain ”unification”.

With this unification, the monster patterns formed by different beast laws have the possibility of merging into one.

In other words, there is a possibility for ”Dragon Transformation”.

Thinking back, Mo Hua couldn’t help but realize why his previous attempts at myriad monsters transforming into a dragon never succeeded, perhaps the key lies in this.

He lacked a ”prerequisite law”.

Without Taotie’s devouring and digestion, bestowing different monster patterns with unification in the laws.

Therefore, these opposing monster patterns could not merge into one, becoming the real ”dragon pattern”.

Taotie eats monsters, digests them, decomposes, assimilates, leaves residues, then can transform from fragmented to whole, from monster to dragon.

Mo Hua’s heart was filled with an indescribable tremor.

Shaken by the laws of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, its internally complex and grand yet integrated formation principles, his emotions surged, unable to regain calm for a long time.
