The Quest for Immortality

Blood river flows, atop the giant isolated cliff.

Mo Hua, relying on his own strength, uses Divine Thought to control Spiritual Ink, like a ”tentacle monster,” drawing formations at an incredible speed according to Mr. Tu’s ”intentions.”

One after another, formations are imprinted on the foundation of the cliff.

The cornerstone of the Blood Sacrifice Array is being pieced together bit by bit and gradually perfected.

Because of Mo Hua, this ruthless ”formation machine,” the construction within the Large Formation is accelerated.

Mr. Tu can finally free up manpower, drawing more Evil Formation Masters from inside, sending them to the edge of the Large Formation, the ”front line” of the Righteous and Demon Paths conflict, to expand the scope of the Blood Sacrifice Array and to broaden the terrain of the Evil God.

Meanwhile, having learned from past lessons, this time Mr. Tu has dispatched more guarding Demon Cultivators alongside the Evil Formation Masters, more than twice as many as before.

The power of Qianxue is great, the Taoist Court is strong.

These guarding Demon Cultivators may not truly withstand the assassination and siege by the Golden Core Realm hawk dogs of the Taoist Court.

But they can delay the offensive, buy time for the Evil Formation Masters to complete their formation ”tasks,” and that is enough.

Once the task is completed, even if all these Evil Formation Masters are killed by Gu Changhuai, it does not matter.

Offering their life, even unto scattering their liver and brains, is their glory; they ought to feel honored.

Within the Blood Sacrifice Array, Mo Hua incessantly draws formations.

The Blood Sacrifice Array continually operates and improves.

And at the edge of the Large Formation, cultivators from the Righteous and Demon Paths center around the ”Evil Formation Masters,” initiating round after round of attack and slaughter...

Everything unfolds as Mr. Tu expected, and the situation begins to change.

The progress of the Blood Sacrifice Array, originally stalled due to the suppression from various forces of Qianxue, is now overcoming obstacles once again under the actions of Mo Hua, moving slowly yet smoothly forward...

...

To the right side of the Blood Sacrifice Array foundation, inside a secret chamber.

Mr. Tu and Shangguan Wang are staring at Mo Hua in the near distance, who is incredibly resourceful but diligently drawing formations.

”Mr. Tu,” Shangguan Wang frowned, ”Are you really at ease letting this boy draw these formations?”

Mr. Tu said indifferently, ”This matter, only he can do it...”

In the entire Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array, those with profound Righteous Dao formation mastery are few and far between.

And the speed of drawing formations, someone faster than Mo Hua is non-existent.

Mr. Tu could do it too, but that is due to relying on Divine Sense of Feather Transformation Realm and expertise of a Fourth-grade Formation Master, painting low-grade formations from a higher perspective.

There is no comparison with Mo Hua, who can use Divine Sense to control ink at Foundation Establishment Realm and draw Second Grade High-Level Formation as a little monster.

Moreover, the Divine Lord is soon to resurrect, he has more important matters to attend to, and it is impossible to trivialize such talent and personally engage in drawing these basic formations.

Shangguan Wang feels jealousy and hatred, faintly sensing a threat, his gaze turns cold:

”This boy will not be loyal to the Divine Lord.”

Mr. Tu glanced at Shangguan Wang, asked with a faint smile: ”Elder Wang, are you truly loyal to the Divine Lord?”

Shangguan Wang’s face turns unsightly.

Mr. Tu said calmly, ”The Divine Lord is strict yet forgiving. As long as you act loyally towards the Divine Lord, some minor thoughts and selfish desires, the Divine Lord will not blame.”

This speaks of Mo Hua and hints at Shangguan Wang.

Shangguan Wang’s eyes narrowed, sneering: ”I just fear Mr. Tu will be harmed by this malicious boy.”

He is inciting discord, which Mr. Tu undoubtedly understands, only his expression remains indifferent, saying nothing.

Shangguan Wang gave Mr. Tu a deep glance, then said solemnly:

”Those not of our Dao, their hearts must differ.”

”This boy, after all, is a disciple of Taixu Gate. Mr. Tu, are you really unafraid he might turn against us, ruining our great plan?”

Mr. Tu looked at Shangguan Wang indifferently, inwardly aware of why Shangguan Wang lost to Shang Che in the Shangguan Family Master position struggle.

His vision falls too short, lacking the magnanimity to accommodate others.

To accomplish great things, one must have the capacity to accommodate others, even if the person is a life-and-death enemy.

Only by accommodating others can one better utilize them.

However, Shangguan Wang still has places of utility, so Mr. Tu must tolerate his narrow-mindedness.

Some things must be clearly explained.

”Elder Wang,” Mr. Tu said sternly, ”Cultivators assess actions, not intentions. Others won’t know what you think inside, nor will they care how you think, they will only see what you do.”

”Court Official punishes crimes based on ’actions’ not ’thoughts.’”

”What one does is more important than how one thinks.”

”And now...” Mr. Tu pointed outside, ”What is Mo Hua doing?”

Shangguan Wang frowned.

Mr. Tu grinned, a sinister smile, ”He is drawing... the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation!”

”Even though what he’s drawing is the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, a Righteous Dao formation, these formations are encompassed within the Blood Sacrifice Array, thus what he draws is undoubtedly the Evil Path Great Formation!”

”Taixu Gate prodigy, Qianxue Array Dao Leader, painting the Blood Sacrifice Array for us. Regardless of what he draws or his willingness, he violates Taixu Gate’s rules, breaches the state boundary’s laws, defies the Taoist Court’s statutes, committing a crime beyond redemption...”

”Not to mention, when the Blood Sacrifice Array is built and fully operational, where blood becomes rivers, flesh constructs cities, the devastation of demons upon all living beings, countless will perish.”

”The roots of the deceased cultivators and creatures will bear his cause, the blood on his hands will be indelible for life.”
