Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2152 Chapter 1002: The Visitor (Part 3)

After a while, suddenly it could be reflected again.

The five from Sever Gold Sect were completely puzzled.

The Elders of Daoist Law outside the scene frowned one after another.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a problem with the Spiritual Mirror, or is there a problem with Mo Hua's Concealment Technique?"

This question baffled them greatly.

Even after Sever Gold Sect's defeat, the elders were still at a loss, unable to sleep.

Late at night.

Sect grand hall.

A group of Daoist Law Elders gathered in the hall, staying up late to scrutinize Mo Hua's shadow images, frame by frame, inch by inch until finally someone understood.

A thin, sharp-eyed Daoist Law Elder slapped the table, suddenly realizing, "Damn it..."

He blurted out his profanity and only then realized he had misspoken.

The elders did not mind because they also felt like swearing.

"Speak quickly!"

The Daoist Law Elder gritted his teeth and explained:

"This brat learned two types of Concealment Techniques! One is low-level, the other high-level."

"He used both low-level and high-level concealment together..."

"So when using the Shadow-breaking Spirit Mirror to reflect, it appeared and disappeared intermittently..."

An uproar filled the room.

"It's actually this simple... I'm really..."

"Impressed by this brat."

"What kind of brain does this little rascal have?"

"How can he come up with every ridiculous idea..."

"This is not called a ridiculous idea, but Taoist Skills are countless, without distinction of superiority or inferiority, and the key to mastery lies in one's mind..."

"It's definitely a ridiculous idea..."

Having seen through Mo Hua's little trick, it became easy to handle.

They began examining Mo Hua's actions frame by frame, picture by picture, to judge what kind of concealment he was using at that moment.

But unfortunately, they had only played one round; there weren't enough "samples."

These Daoist Law Elders were still unable to make a proper judgment.

"Wait until Lingxiao Sect finishes, then let's observe again..."

"That's the only option."

In the next round, Mo Hua's team faced the disciples of Lingxiao Sect.

Lingxiao Sect is one of the Eight Great Gates, its disciples specialize in spells, supposedly sharing the same origin with Wanxiao Sect, one of the Four Great Sects, only later they separated due to disagreements.

Lingxiao Sect's tactics were simple and brutal.

All five of them launched a large-scale "spell bombardment" against Mo Hua.

Gold light, fire stone, hailstones, and water arrows covered the sky.

Mo Hua had no space to hide and had to use Concealment Techniques to evade.

The battle with Lingxiao Sect lasted quite a while, and Mo Hua's Concealment Techniques were almost fully exposed.

After the Sword Discussion ended, Mo Hua's every move was placed in the shadow images for study by the Elders of Daoist Law from various sects.

After a careful examination and comparison, several sharp-eyed, experienced Elders of Daoist Law finally sighed and declared:

"It's been revealed; it's a Five Elements Concealing Skill."

"Five Elements, huh..."

"Blending into the Five Elements, hiding in heaven and earth... hence he deliberately chose the small forest for hiding, making use of the wood, earth, and water types of Five Elements Qi within the forest, facilitating the use of concealment."

"Exactly... I had suspected it was a Five Elements Concealing Skill before." "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"There was no evidence before, so I couldn't make an unfounded judgment. Now with evidence, I'm able to assert...

"But... there are many types of Five Elements Concealing Skills, which one is

this brat using?"

The group of Daoist Law Elders each had their opinions, with all sorts of guesses, but there was someone who truly saw it:

"Based on my observation, it seems like... the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill

from the Five Hidden Sect."

"Isn't the Five Hidden Sect gone?"

"The inheritance should have been lost; probably this brat was lucky enough to

get his hands on it..."

"Whatever the case, understanding the principle is enough."

"Let's prepare some Five Elements type of Revealing Spiritual Artifacts, in the next Sword Discussion, we will make this brat's true form appear!"

"Good!"

The elders agreed unanimously.

Someone then asked, "Who are they going to compete with in their next Sword

Discussion?"

"Carefree Sect... there's a disciple from the Feng family"

The crowd cheered, exclaiming: "A disciple from the Feng family of Xun State, excellent! Now Mo Hua will have nowhere to escape, once the concealment is broken, he won't have any way out, left with no options."

"Mo Hua should indeed face his demise."

"Making us elders stay up late every day, if he doesn't fall soon, how will we

maintain our dignity?"

"The Feng family... good, this brat deserves a downfall."

"Let him be aware of the perilous nature of this Sword Discussion..."

The elders set their strategy with great satisfaction.

At this time, it was late night.

In Qianxue State Boundary, at the Feng family's cavern residence.

An Elder of the Feng family with a slender and clear appearance was standing outside, braving the chilly night breeze, seemingly waiting for someone.

An hour later, the sound of hoofbeats came from afar.

The Feng family Elder's expression lifted as he focused his gaze, seeing a carriage slowly approaching in the dim night.

The carriage was understated and luxurious, with a hint of travel fatigue, seemingly arriving from far away for the meeting.

A flag shimmered in the night flickering with light, hanging with a Kan Hexagram on it, with a "Zhang" character written.

On seeing this, the Feng family Elder immediately moved forward, greeting with

a smile. The carriage smoothly slowed to a stop, the curtain lifted, and several cultivators with impressive cultivation disembarked one after another. The leader was youthful-faced and white-haired, with distinguished bearing.

The Feng family Elder promptly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Chief

Elder, long time no see."

The cultivator addressed as "Chief Elder" also smiled and said, "Brother Feng, we've been Taoist friends for many years, no need to stand on ceremony." The Feng family Elder shook his head, "It's nothing, friendship is friendship, but etiquette is etiquette."

He glanced at the Chief Elder, then behind him at the several young talents, quickly extending an invitation:

"It's late, everyone is travel-weary, please enter my humble abode for a rest."

The Chief Elder clasped his hands, "Then, sorry for the trouble..."

"It's no trouble at all, Brother Zhang's arrival brings great honor, please."

"Please."

After exchanging pleasantries, they stored away the carriage and entered the Feng family's cavern residence.

The Feng family was an aristocratic family in Xun State. From the outside, the

cavern residence seemed unremarkable, but inside it was a different world, with elegant pavilions and lush flora, having a unique charm of Taoist

cultivation.

The Chief Elder of the Zhang family and the Elder of the Feng family walked

and leisurely chatted.

"Things have been unstable in Kan State recently..."

"The journey also took some time... that's why I arrived late."

"According to the dates, the Sword Discussion should have already begun."

"It has indeed started."

"Such a pity..."

"It's fine, it's only the Xuan Character Bureau now, the real show is yet to

come...

The group entered the main hall and took seats in order, then a servant boy

came to serve tea.

The Chief Elder of the Zhang family drank some tea, nodded slowly, and then

asked Elder Feng:

"Kan State has been turbulent, so many affairs tied me up. I realize it's been almost three hundred years since I last came to Qianxue State Boundary to witness the Sword Discussion Conference. I wonder what talents have emerged in this year's Qianxue Taoist discussions?"

Elder Feng cupped his hands with a proud tone and said:

"The land of Qianxue, rich in Taoist knowledge, gathers talents from across the

Nine States, draws the best in the world, countless prodigies."

"If we're talking about the most outstanding, naturally it's still the Four Great

Sects."

"In this year's Sword Discussion Conference, Shen Linsu from Qian Taoist Sect,

Xiao Wuchen from Heavenly Sword Sect, Ao Zhan from Longding Sect, and Duanmu Qing from Wanxiao Sect are all top-notch exceptional beings, sweeping across the competition undefeated until now..."

"Below the Four Sects, there are also excellent talents among the Eight Great Gates, Linghu Xiao, Shi Tiangang, Qin Cangliu, all quite remarkable... Elder Feng listed them one by one, then after pondering for a moment, he

added:

"However... there's one more person, who truly should be considered a unique genius, but it's just... talented but lacking virtue, poorly regarded."

Chief Elder Zhang seemed surprised, "Who?"

Elder Feng said in a solemn tone:

"This individual, at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, possesses the

Peak of Nineteen-Pattern Divine Sense, surpassing the Four Great Sects to claim the Formation Leader title. Though his cultivation talent is average, his mastery of Five Elements Spell is unparalleled, and his Concealment

Techniques are undetectable..." "Such a genius exists?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Chief Elder Zhang was also moved and asked, "What's his name?"

"Mo Hua!"

Among the Zhang family members, a cultivator in blue immediately spat out a

mouthful of tea.
