Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2807: Chapter 122: Bone Engraving Spirit Pivot (Part 2)

There is no extra pain on the body.

But inner suppression and panic follow like a shadow...

Jin Wutu’s eyes widened, anxious and uneasy.

...

After Mo Hua left, he carefully considered for a full two hours before arriving at the innermost tent of the military camp.

Inside the tent, there was a huge coffin.

Sishen’s corpse was sealed inside the coffin.

Even though he had made up his mind, when the moment arrived, Mo Hua still hesitated.

Standing in front of Sishen’s coffin, Mo Hua remained silent for a long time, conflicted inside, before finally letting out a deep sigh and his gaze firmed up.

In the martial world, sometimes actions are beyond control.

In the face of a great disaster, some principles have to be flexible.

Mo Hua summoned Chi Feng and instructed:

”Sishen’s corpse has some anomalies. I want to purify it with the power of the Divine Lord. Pass down the order to seal the surrounding area; no one is allowed to disturb or even approach.”

Chi Feng’s expression was somewhat solemn, nodding: ”Yes, Mr. Witch.”

After sealing the area, Mo Hua had Chi Feng open Sishen’s coffin, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

”Cut open Sishen’s flesh to expose the meridians and bones...”

Chi Feng’s face changed, ”Mr. Witch, this...”

Mo Hua shook his head, calmly saying, ”Just follow the instructions, everything is under the will of the Divine Lord.”

Chi Feng frowned, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to trust Mo Hua.

He no longer hesitated, drew out his personal bone blade, and followed Mo Hua’s instructions to begin cutting into Sishen’s corpse.

Sishen was at the late Golden Core Stage, and even after death, the corpse was stiff, making the flesh extremely resilient.

But he was dead after all, and without Divine Sense to control the body, although it was as rigid as iron, Chi Feng, who was at the Golden Core Middle Stage, was still able to break it down, though it required effort and multiple dissections.

Mo Hua had earlier drawn a few lines on Sishen’s limb bones, marking several points.

Chi Feng followed Mo Hua’s strokes and cut at the nodes, dissecting along the ink lines.

As if cutting iron with a dull blade, it took more than two hours to finally dissect Sishen’s body, revealing the inside of the grim white bones.

Mo Hua nodded, ”Alright, you can go now.”

Chi Feng took a deep look at Mo Hua, nodded, ”Yes.”

After Chi Feng left, Mo Hua looked at the dissected Sishen revealing the white bones and sighed lightly again.

He then didn’t hesitate anymore, took out a bone blade, dipped it in Spiritual Ink, and began drawing formation patterns on General Sishen’s bones according to his plan.

The technique of drawing formation patterns was derived from Mr. Tu’s bone engraving method.

The formation he drew was the small Spirit Core Formation he had used before for corpse control.

The method of bone engraving must be studied, practiced, and mastered, with no room for error.

This is one of the necessary skills for his Core Formation.

One day in the future, he plans to use the bone engraving method to engrave the Twenty-four Patterns of the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Extremist Formation onto his own bones.

Engraving formation patterns on one’s bones is extremely hazardous; not even a slight mistake can occur.

It must be practiced to perfection without the slightest error.

He has never had a good opportunity to ”practice.”

Previously, he had Chi Feng break Iron Skill Bone’s bones, and actually tried drawing once on Iron Skill Bone’s bones.

After just one stroke, Iron Skill Bone, at the Golden Core Realm, immediately fainted from the pain, with a great deal of vitality loss during this period.

Really using Iron Skill Bone as ”material,” his life would not withstand the consumption, and he himself wouldn’t have many opportunities to ”practice.”

The pain was unbearable, vitality loss was inevitable, thus living beings cannot be used for practice.

If living beings can’t be used, only ”dead ones” can be utilized.

The dead don’t feel pain, and since they are already dead, there’s no concern of vitality loss.

The deceased Sishen is currently the best ”material.”

Moreover, Sishen’s corpse also has to be dealt with.

General Sishen, at the late Golden Core Stage, was extremely powerful during life, and his corpse after death is as terrifying as an Evil Ghost, making it an extremely formidable ”vegetarian corpse.”

Lugu is unwilling to have his brother’s corpse undergo ”cremation.”

Thus, Sishen’s corpse has become a significant hidden danger.

Once, someday, Sishen is refined or controlled by others, it will certainly lead to disaster, with endless consequences.

To prevent such a ”disaster” from happening, to avoid Sishen’s corpse being controlled by others in the future, Mo Hua had to find a way to control Sishen beforehand.

Just like what he had done in South Yue City before.

The dangerous factors need to be in our own hands.

As for the technique of ”corpse control”...

The orthodox corpse refinement of Yin Corpse Valley, Mo Hua certainly doesn’t know it. The only method he knows for controlling corpses is the Small Ling Shu Absolute Formation.

This is a First Grade Thirteen Patterns Ultimate Formation.

A First Grade Ultimate Formation can be regarded as a ”type of Second Grade” formation. Used on a Sibone at the Late Golden Core Stage, it is still too weak.

Possibly unable to control much at all, at most only controlling the Sibone’s corpse to perform some simple movements, unable to fight, unable to kill.

But for now, this is enough.

Mo Hua doesn’t have any better means, only this.

Shut inside, the dark and dim tent.

Mo Hua, alone, jumps into the Sibone’s coffin, and begins, on the Sibone’s giant corpse, using the bone carving method, to engrave the Small Ling Shu Absolute Formation.

Thus, practicing how to perform ”bone carving” onto a human body.

At the same time, prematurely planting the Small Ling Shu Formation, to prevent any future risk of corpse transformation.

Time ticks away bit by bit.

Matters outside are being handled by Dan Zhu and others.

Mo Hua focuses deeply on the Sibone’s skeletal remains, engraving the Small Ling Shu Formation.

To Mo Hua, the Small Ling Shu Formation isn’t difficult.

What is difficult is the bone carving.

Especially the formation bone carving on the Sibone’s corpse.

There are many details to pay attention to, many matters to consider.

Mo Hua calms his mind, solving problems one by one, progressively pushing forward the bone carving process.

As time passes, one Spiritual Pivot Formation Pattern after another is carved into the Sibone’s corpse by Mo Hua.

Mo Hua’s bone carving method—especially the method of carving formations within the bones of a ”human body”, continues to be polished and steadily matures...

...

Finally, after a full five days, Mo Hua roughly completes the bone carving of the Small Ling Shu Formation.

Within the Sibone, the Small Ling Shu Formation takes its initial shape.

Mo Hua doesn’t have time to create a more complete, more complex structure for the Small Ling Shu system.

Time is insufficient, functionality is sufficient.

Mo Hua takes out some Blood Qi Pills, crushes them, and sprinkles them onto the Sibone’s wounds.

The Sibone’s corpse, previously parasitized by the Evil God’s Thought Power, naturally had some ”flesh revival” abilities. Once the blood qi was absorbed, the flesh automatically began to heal, and the wounds started to close.

And the formation engraved on the Sibone’s bones by Mo Hua also becomes deeply embedded within the Sibone’s body as the wounds heal.

Afterward, Mo Hua stuffs a few Spirit Stones into the Sibone’s mouth.

The Spirit Stones are automatically crushed by the formations on the Sibone’s teeth, converting into pale blue spiritual energy that gets absorbed.

Mo Hua places his finger on the Sibone’s forehead, using his Divine Sense to communicate with the formation eye of the Small Ling Shu Formation within the Sibone, along with various formation pivots and nodes, thereby activating the formation.

A moment later, a faint blue light emanates from the Sibone’s body.

The Small Ling Shu Formation, carved by Mo Hua, starts to operate.

As the formation operates, the spiritual energy transforms into Spiritual Pivot Power, spreading throughout the Sibone’s corpse, gradually permeating all the dead veins and skeletal remains, and slowly seeping into the bones, merging into one.

Spiritual energy, Small Ling Shu Formation, bones, corpse body.

These layers gradually link up, establishing a certain connection through the formation, ultimately integrated by Mo Hua’s Divine Sense.

When the medium and formation, spiritual power and bones become connected, and Divine Thought flows without hindrance, an eerie blue light appears in Mo Hua’s eyes.

He softly mutters:

”Rise!”

With those words, the already deceased Sibone, resembling a small giant, starts to tremble gently.

First the fingers, then the arm, followed by various small bones, limb bones, spine bones, all start to show slight movements.

The formation activates, spiritual power controls the Sibone.

The blue light within the Sibone’s corpse brightens, and when it reaches its peak brightness, begins to retract, hidden within the bones underneath the flesh.

Ultimately, the blue light condenses to its fullest, merging with the corpse.

The massive ”Sibone” slowly stands up, resembling a ”Ghost God” standing amidst the darkness.

Mo Hua steps towards the Sibone, eyes glowing blue, gazing at the tall Sibone.

The Sibone, like a ”Ghost God”, slowly opens its eyes to look at Mo Hua.

Its eyes are pitch black and hollow, extremely terrifying.

Yet deep within the darkness, a gleam shines, closely resembling the blue spark similar to Mo Hua’s Spiritual Pivot Patterns in its eyes...
