Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2278: Chapter 1052: Demon Valley

Inside the Formation Core Hall.

The bodies of the slain Evil Formation Masters were piled into a river of corpses, and the spoils of war gathered were similarly stacked into a small mountain.

Mo Hua arranged for a few people to guard around the hall, then pointed his finger, Spiritual Ink winding into formations spread around the hall, cleansing the Blood Qi and isolating the Evil Qi, before he found a comfortable place to sit cross-legged, calmly inspecting the spoils of war before him.

His Divine Sense was strong and keen, penetrating deeply, and he sifted through the spoils rapidly.

Moreover, Mo Hua was quite experienced in this aspect.

The items on the Evil Formation Masters, whether useful or useless, whether carrying Evil Qi or defilement, which could be kept, and which needed to be destroyed...

He could tell at a glance.

Thus, the sect disciples watched as Mo Hua’s two fair palms moved swiftly like a groundhog, so quick they created afterimages.

Before long, the pile of spoils had been completely inventoried by Mo Hua without missing a single piece.

The Righteous Dao and Evil Path, usable and unusable items, were all systematically sorted out by Mo Hua.

The sect’s elite were somewhat stunned.

The technique was too fast!

Too skillful!

Does Mo Hua kill and rob, inspecting spoils every day? Otherwise, how could he be so proficient?

Besides, these are items from the Evil Path...

A large pile of items from the Evil Path, while they were at a loss, he classified them in a few breaths?

Everyone here are sect disciples, all educated in Qianxue’s nine-year cultivation program. Why are you so familiar with Evil Demons?

Your background seems a bit questionable, right?

If Mo Hua hadn’t just led them in wiping out eighty Evil Formation Masters, this group of elites might even suspect that Mo Hua was actually a descendant of some ”Demon Path Giant,” sent as an undercover ”Demon Gate elite” in a Great Sect of Qianxue...

Everyone was filled with disbelief.

And after Mo Hua efficiently inventoried the spoils, he pointed at a pile of storage bags and instructed:

”These items are Evil Artifacts, unusable...”

”These Spirit Stones are contaminated with Blood Qi.”

”These Pills are also made from human flesh; do not touch them.”

”Also these Cultivation Techniques, scriptures, and Evil Techniques, don’t even look at them, as you’ll easily be corrupted; throw them all into the blood river for destruction...”

Then Mo Hua pointed at another pile of storage bags, ”The Spirit Stones in here are usable, and the Pills are decent, commonly used ones. I’ve identified them with my Divine Sense; they don’t carry Evil Qi...”

”You can distribute these among yourselves, consume them, and refine Spiritual Power to recover. We don’t know what Evil Demons might show up next, so it’s essential to prepare well...”

”And these...”

Mo Hua’s instructions were clear and precise, appearing very ”professional”.

The other sect disciples, hesitating slightly, then followed Mo Hua’s instructions.

Gradually, this became a habit.

Some destroyed Evil Objects, some consumed Spirit Stones and Pills, refining Spiritual Power, everyone busily and orderly.

Only then did Mo Hua have a moment to turn his gaze to another pile of spoils.

Amongst them were dense and complex Formation Diagrams, scriptures, Formation media, and Bone Scrolls...

These were firsthand formation materials of the Evil Path Great Formation.

These were what Mo Hua most wanted.

Since being trapped in the Evil Path Great Formation, Mo Hua’s first thought wasn’t to escape, but to find a way to learn and comprehend the Large Formation.

This is a Large Formation, the lifelong pursuit of a Formation Master.

Even though it’s an Evil Path Great Formation, it’s still a Large Formation.

A Large Formation is extremely difficult to build, requiring massive manpower, Spiritual Power, and resources.

Therefore, large formations existing in the Cultivation World are already few and far between.

A fully activated large formation is even rarer and hard to come by.

Moreover, for a large formation to be fully activated and coincidentally allow oneself to ”experience it firsthand,” to learn from it, is even more demanding.

Even the grade of this formation can’t be too high.

The formation at the Mount of Tao was fully activated in front of Mo Hua once, but that was a fifth-grade formation, the realm too high, far exceeding Mo Hua’s current formation understanding, like the creation of Heaven and Earth perfectly integrated; he couldn’t discern the formation principle, naturally learning nothing from it.

Meanwhile, the Evil Path Great Formation before him, through ”pattern compatibility,” was between second grade and third grade.

Even because it was temporarily activated, under hasty circumstances, some formations weren’t completely constructed, some structure analyses weren’t fully ”closed,” the cycle of formation eyes, and the circulation of Evil Power hadn’t formed a closed loop.

This was nearly perfect, as an instance material for learning about the construction of ”Large Formations” above second grade.

For Mo Hua, this was a rare opportunity.

Mo Hua invigorated his spirit and began quickly examining the massive quantity of ”formation patterns” scavenged from the Evil Formation Masters.

The specific formations don’t need to be learned, as they are all Evil Formations, learning them would ”pollute” Mo Hua’s mental formation library.

But the structure and core of the large formation must be studied.

Ignoring the specific, apparent Evil Path formations, from the outside in, to understand the essence of the large formation, to perceive the power operation within its core, to reconstruct the macro pivot of the large formation.

This pertains to a Formation Master’s perspective.

Likewise, it pertains to a lead formation master’s experience in constructing large formations.

That is the most sophisticated formation knowledge.

Thus Mo Hua, one side examining, one side calculating, simultaneously took out paper and brush, casually sketching the core structure of the large formation.

Nearby, many sect disciples, amidst meditative Spiritual Power recovery, couldn’t help but sneak glances at Mo Hua, curious about what Mo Hua was drawing.

But after just one glance, their scalps tingled.
