Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2907: Chapter 161: Divine Slave

Before his death, Sishen was the strongest general of Shugubu, killed by the betrayal of his subordinates, by the Evil God, by famine, becoming a victim of the Great Wilderness’s misfortune.

Even in death, his physical body remained powerful, still possessing an awe-inspiring majesty.

Likewise, he also became a corpse puppet controlled by Mo Hua using the Small Ling Shu Absolute Formation.

However, the Small Ling Shu Absolute Formation was too low in grade, with too weak a control, making it impossible for Sishen, as the ”Undying General,” to unleash his destructive power.

And Sishen’s body, without the corruption of the Evil God, without the craving for flesh, and thus without ”energy supply,” could only be a mere showpiece.

Therefore, after deep consideration, Mo Hua decided to first engrave the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation on Sishen’s body.

He wanted the dead Sishen to become the most loyal ”slave” of the Divine Lord, to become the undying war general of the Great Wilderness, establishing immortal merits with a body of death.

At the same time, Sishen would also be the best ”material” for him to practice the Bone Carved Spirit Corpse Formation.

To carve a fierce beast’s ultimate formation on the bones of a ”living person,” especially on one’s own bones, is exceedingly dangerous. Without the opportunity to practice and a lack of sufficient experience, even Mo Hua dared not act recklessly.

Yet using other ”living people” to practice, in case it results in death—and it very likely would—Mo Hua couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Thus, Mo Hua could only start practicing on ”the dead.”

The dead, in this case, was Sishen.

However, practicing using General Sishen as a test subject was extremely challenging.

Sishen, even in death, as a Late Golden Core Stage Barbarian Cultivator, had flesh and bones of Third-Grade High-Rank strength.

In life, Sishen’s power was strong, and his body’s strength far surpassed that of average Barbarian Cultivators.

The Small Spirit Core Formation was decent, as it only simply controlled movements without any high-intensity fighting.

Therefore, when the formation was painted on the surface of the flesh, the degree of integration wasn’t crucial, nor did it have much impact. Furthermore, Mo Hua was quite careless in handling many details.

But the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Extremist Formation was different.

This ultimate formation had to deeply integrate with Sishen’s corpse to the greatest extent.

Since this Spiritual Corpse Formation was intended to be used as his own Magical Treasure.

In the future, when engraved on his own bones, it must perfectly integrate with his meridians and skeletal structure to achieve Life and Spirit Cultivation, becoming an aid to his Golden Core.

Otherwise, it would surely cause significant problems and damage his foundation.

Therefore, when experimenting using Sishen’s skeletal remains, there could be no sloppiness at all.

If issues arose during the experiment on the deceased Sishen, then applying the Spiritual Corpse Formation to himself would present even more severe problems...

But this was an unavoidable hurdle that had to be faced, basically inevitable...

Moreover, Mo Hua was not without some expectations.

After a moment of silence, Mo Hua reviewed all of his previous formation plans in his mind before he began to take action.

He first took out a large pile of Spiritual Objects used for Tao Cultivation, including various gold powder, copper jade, Spirit Wood Root, Blood Transformation Stone... and so on.

These materials had been prepared in advance while he was at Taixu Gate.

Some were exchanged with merit points from the Sect, while others were specially sought for him through backdoor channels by Elder Master Xun and the Taixu Sect Master.

Concerning Mo Hua’s Core Formation, Elder Master Xun and the Sect Leader were more concerned than anyone else.

Yet Mo Hua, taking an unusual path in cultivation, left them unsure of what strange Pill he was forming, preventing them from intervening too much.

All they could do was prepare all potential Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Mo Hua might need in advance. So that Mo Hua would not waste time running around searching for materials.

Therefore, although Mo Hua’s Core Formation took a long time, the Spiritual Objects needed for it were already prepared early on at Taixu Gate by Elder Master Xun.

Given that this was to determine Mo Hua’s future, Elder Master Xun had done both causal calculations and forecasted with experience, adhering to the mindset of better to have more than not enough, preparing thoroughly and abundantly.

Mo Hua was very appreciative of Elder Master Xun’s kindness, as well as the care from the Sect.

Thus, although currently situated in the Barbaric Wilderness with differing customs and heritage, the Spiritual Objects needed for Mo Hua’s Core Formation were nevertheless available.

Even the materials used for initial practice were quite abundant.

Of course, the truly precious ”Wood White Essence” and ”Golden Jade Marrow,” used for forging Wooden White Gold Jade Bone, one cannot bear to use as practice materials.

The ones he used for practice were all lesser, secondary ”substitutes.”

Anyway, using them on the dead Sishen didn’t require much deliberation.

Sishen’s corpse was once more dissected open.

Mo Hua began, according to the Bai Family’s ”Wood White Gold Jade” spell point, trying to first mold a layer of ”Golden Jade” bone substance onto Sishen’s skeleton.

As it was his first time practicing, the molding was somewhat rough, and many areas weren’t evenly molded, but generally, there were no issues.

After molding a layer of ”Golden Jade” bone, Mo Hua then used a ”Bone Engraving” knife to carve the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation Patterns onto the Golden Jade coating.

The Small Spirit Core Formation, Mo Hua painted on.

But the Taotie Spirit Formation couldn’t be painted; it had to be ”engraved” to ensure the formation patterns were more stable.

Sishen’s bones were those of a Golden Core Realm Barbaric Cultivator, and Mo Hua couldn’t carve into them, but by covering them with a layer of Golden Jade Bone, carving onto this coating was feasible.

If the carving was done on a living person, at this point, it would involve substantial blood Qi loss.

To solve this problem, Mo Hua planned to add another engraving of the Wood Revitalization Formation’s array.

However, it wasn’t necessary now.

Since Sishen was already deceased, the corpse being cold eliminated concerns about blood Qi loss, rendering the Wood Revitalization Formation unnecessary.
