Chapter 1002: All Eyes On

“Taixu Gate, unexpectedly first?”“They have many people, they took the advantage.”“After all, three sects merged, the number of people increased, using this ‘human wave tactic,’ it's normal to win more in the Yellow Character Bureau…”Someone coldly laughed, “Just having many people, what use? You need to win for it to count. Without this set of 'Dao Soldier Formation,' which maximizes the combat power of the ordinary disciples, having more people is useless.”“If you send ordinary disciples up and they can’t win, that’s just giving points to others.”“The more people, the more points sent.”“And those formations and spirit tools, at first glance, are specially customized. Non-standard spirit tools require designing array diagrams, improving refining tool diagrams, and also need professional refining tool experts to cooperate in production…”“If it were just one or two pieces, it would be fine, but Taixu Gate has so many disciples participating in the Sword Discussion, and each one has a set, mostly different from each other. Taixu Gate really spent a lot of money this time…”“What do we do now? The Four Great Sects' intention was for us to 'snipe' Taixu Gate, but now in this situation, we are the ones being 'sniped' by Taixu Gate…”“The Four Great Sects' intention, just listen to it. Do you really want to be the Four Great Sects' dogs?”“The situation is stronger than us, isn't there no other way?”“No need to worry, the Sword Discussion has just begun, this is the Yellow Character Bureau, it's still early, Taixu Gate cannot possibly always win until the end…”“If it's really urgent, the Four Great Sects are more anxious than us. If Taixu Gate truly takes first place, they'll be squeezing their positions.”“That's true…”The elders of the Eight Great Gates, Twelve Streams, and even the Qianxue Hundred Gates were discussing the Taixu Gate's first place in the Sword Discussion everywhere.And in the Four Great Sects, the disciples felt they had lost face.But the high-level elders, instead, were much calmer.Qian Dao Sect's great hall.The elders from the Four Sects responsible for the Sword Discussion simply gathered below, chatting about the Taixu Gate matter.“Who made this set of formations for Taixu Gate?”“Ancestor Xun?”“He is an ancestor, with numerous daily affairs, no time to focus on these.”“Then it must be Taixu Gate's elder. I remember… the elder of Taixu Gate named 'Xun Zixian,' his thoughts are not ordinary, he has deeply inherited the true transmission of Ancestor Xun, and his array law attainment is very remarkable…”The crowd neither affirmed nor denied.After a moment, Elder Shen of Qian Dao Sect frowned and slowly said:“Could it be… that disciple?”The hall was silent for a moment.That disciple, they all didn't want to mention him too much.A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, forcefully overpowering the Four Great Sects, seizing the Array Dao Chief position, all in front of these elders.This was undoubtedly a 'humiliation' to the Four Great Sects.To the Four Great Sects, this was like an ugly scar.But now the situation was special, and they had to reopen this scar again.Elder Longding Sect pondered for a moment, shook his head, "Not likely…"Anyone with outstanding divine sense, with a heart and mind close to a demon, must have a proud temperament, different from ordinary people in cognition, and their actions are not tolerated in the common world…Such a person cannot possibly flatter their fellow sect members and spend so much effort for them.The scene of the Array Discussion Assembly that day was still deeply engraved in his mind.Mo Hua, with weak blood energy and low spiritual power, sat in the corner of the vast Dao field, his whole body emitting an extremely strong aura, like a solitary 'monster,' making all the heavenly talented array masters in the field unable to breathe.What is this kind of monster aiming for by doing this kind of thankless task?The elders of the Four Sects all nodded.Although they disliked Mo Hua, in their hearts they also acknowledged Mo Hua's 'strength.'Such a top-talented array master, what he pursues must be the great Dao of array law, must override everyone, step by step upwards, not be dragged down by the people below.True strong ones are all lonely and selfish.Elder Wanxiao Sect pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "It seems this array 'monster' also participated in this Sword Discussion?"Yes, with Linghu Xiao from the Chongxu Mountain lineage and Ouyang Xuan from the Tai'a Mountain lineage in a group.Elder Longding Sect frowned, "What is Taixu Gate's intention? Letting him, an array master, participate in the Sword Discussion?"The Sword Discussion Assembly is divided into five major categories: sword, array, talisman, pill, and artifact.He is an array master, if not competing in array law, what is he competing in sword?The strangest thing is that he is still with the 'only remaining' two heavenly talents of Taixu Gate.Isn't this a burden?Does Taixu Gate not want to win?Or could it be that this person called 'Mo Hua' is not only an array law monster, but actually a sword Dao genius who has not yet emerged and can shock heaven and weep ghosts?Elder Heaven Sword Sect coldly laughed.The crowd was equally puzzled.After a moment, Elder Heaven Sword Sect shook his head and sighed:This should be the arrangement of Taixu Gate's Ancestor Xun. This Ancestor Xun… his schemes are immeasurably deep, hard to fathom.Regarding the matter of Ancestor Dongxu, the crowd of elders also fell into deep thought, but did not dare to say more, to avoid truly being rude to the senior and committing a taboo.No matter which sect's ancestor, as long as they have entered the Dongxu realm, they are extraordinary characters and cannot be easily slighted.Elder Wanxiao Sect said: "Quietly observe the changes, no matter what schemes Taixu Gate has, they will be revealed during the Sword Discussion."The next day, it will be this monster's turn to act.As long as he acts, he cannot hide; whether he is a dragon or a worm will be revealed.Then Taixu Gate's first place in this Sword Discussion…There's nothing to say about this. The number of lower-level disciples is a bit larger and stronger, which cannot change the overall situation.Some twists and turns are also good; if it's like in the past, without any waves, it's bound to be boring.Others looking at us might think we're undergoing 'sect reform' and 'self-innovation,' only performing for ourselves…Right, it's good to have some changes.In the Yellow Character preliminary contest, they can still go with the flow, but in the later stages, their true form will be revealed.The Sword Discussion is a long and fierce battle; in the later stages, one bureau is worth a hundred. If they use up all their strength at the beginning, how will they contend in the later stages?The so-called Sword Discussion doesn't compete at the lower level, but the true 'top disciples'…The Four Great Sects temporarily reached a conclusion.Taixu Gate's first place in the Sword Discussion is just a 'short-lived flower.'This point, not only the Four Great Sects, but also the other Eight Great Gates, and even the Qianxue Hundred Gates and various families, and even Taixu Gate itself, all knew it in their hearts.Mo Hua also knew it clearly in his heart.But no matter what, this is a good start.Taixu Gate's heavenly talent foundation originally couldn't compare with the Four Great Sects.If they start smoothly, they can still compete later.If they don't start smoothly, they won't even have a fight later.Moreover, since they had a good start, they should try to expand their advantage so that even if the situation is unfavorable later, they can still 'hold on' a bit longer.Mo Hua just encouraged the younger junior brothers and said:Our advantage is very big now; since that's the case, we must seize the opportunity and try to win more to expand our advantage. This way, even if we are at a disadvantage later, we can stabilize the situation.“Yes, Little Senior Brother!”The crowd of disciples said in unison.Mo Hua then began to coordinate the later stages of the Sword Discussion step by step according to the plan.Victory is not achieved in one move, but accumulated little by little.Seize the present; winning one bureau is one bureau.What happens later is hard to say, but every point won now must be firmly grasped.Night slowly descended, covering the mountains and gates.Taixu Gate was still brightly lit, and the disciples were all busy.In the preaching room, Sword Discussion disciples gathered in groups of five, researching tomorrow's matches, considering tactics, positioning, discussing what spirit tools and formations to equip, thinking about what sudden situations they might encounter and how to solve them…After that, they compiled all of this into a process according to the form set by Mo Hua and thoroughly memorized it.Do not fight unprepared battles.Since they want to fight, they must make full preparations.This is what Little Senior Brother told them.They engraved it in their hearts and began to implement it through the Sword Discussion.Elder Yi, who teaches Dao Law at Taixu Gate, and some other inner gate elders who are proficient in Dao Law and Sword Law and are good at killing, also stayed in the preaching room to give disciples some opinions and improve their Sword Discussion tactics.In the array law room, Zheng Fang also followed the array law list given by Mo Hua, leading the disciples from the three mountains of Taixu, Tai'a, and Chongxu, whose array law strength was not bad, to draw array laws for the array mediums.These array laws are for use in tomorrow's Sword Discussion.The array laws formed in the Sword Discussion are limited to the second grade mid-level, so disciples with good array law backgrounds and talents within Taixu Gate can also draw them.They are array masters, not good at killing, and generally do not participate in the Sword Discussion.Normally, they should be preparing for the 'Array Discussion Assembly' after the Sword Discussion at this time.But now, Mo Hua has given them an opportunity to 'learn and use.'They can both draw array laws for their fellow disciples in the 'Sword Discussion' and also prepare for their own 'Array Discussion.'It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.And in the refining tools room, Ouyang Mu led a crowd of disciples with ambitions to become refining tool masters to repair the war-damaged spirit tools during the Sword Discussion, improve armor, recast spirit swords, and so on…They are also learning and using.At the same time, they are also learning through 'use,' improving their refining tool skills through practice, improvement, and maintenance of spirit tools.Taixu Mountain was brilliantly lit.Almost all the disciples gathered together, contributing their share to the Sword Discussion Assembly.At the same time, they were also laying a good foundation for the subsequent Array Discussion and Refining Tools Assembly.Gathering the strength of the entire sect to discuss the Dao, the sect as one, united from top to bottom.This kind of cohesion not only made the elders delighted and the sect master gratified, but even some ancestors in the back mountain were somewhat moved.The return of the three mountains' lineages, the disciples united as one; this is a scene they may never have thought they would see again in their lifetime…This may make these ancestors more excited and emotional than the brief 'Sword Discussion First Place.'Just like this, Taixu Mountain was brightly lit and busy until late at night.The disciples rested briefly.The next day, it was again time for the Sword Discussion Assembly.The situation was still very good.Because of the full preparation, Taixu Gate's victories were still increasing field by field, and the advantage was gradually expanding.After the end of the second day's Sword Discussion, Taixu Gate still firmly occupied the first place.Even Taixu Sect Master couldn't help but think: if the Sword Discussion Assembly was always at the 'Yellow' character level, it would be good, because then Taixu Gate could always win…Of course, this thought could only be thought.Soon, on the third day, things were a little different.The drawing order of 'Lun Dao Tian Yi' is 'from weak to strong.'Therefore, by the third day of the Sword Discussion, the heavenly talents of many sects also began to show their faces one by one.Mo Hua was no exception.He also wants to officially compete.Before the match, Wenren Wan brought Yu'er and specifically came to Taixu Gate to bring Mo Hua some 'great tonic' spirit meals.When the disciples of the Qianxue families participate in the Sword Discussion Assembly, their fathers and mothers, grandparents, and even elders of the same clan and lineage will all observe the ceremony and witness their performance in the grand event of the Sword Discussion.Mo Hua is different; he is a person.His fathers and mothers are far away in Li State, and there are no family elders to take care of him.Therefore, when he goes to participate in the Sword Discussion Assembly, he is truly a 'solitary person.'Although he is now the Little Senior Brother of Taixu Gate and the Array Dao Chief of Qianxue, and has quite high prestige in Taixu Gate, Wenren Wan still feels distressed for Mo Hua.In her heart, Mo Hua is still just a child after all.Now, for such an important matter as the Sword Discussion, there are no relatives by his side.Wenren Wan handed a flag-shaped jade pendant to Mo Hua, implying 'open the flag and achieve victory,' then said with a gentle expression:Tomorrow, I will bring Yu'er to watch your Sword Discussion.She was a little looking forward to Mo Hua's first performance in the Sword Discussion.Yu'er also had an excited look: "Brother Mo, jiayou!"Mo Hua's expression was a bit subtle; he really wanted to say that she didn't need to have such high expectations for him.But looking at Aunt Wan and Yu'er's earnest gaze, he couldn't say it out and just smiled and said:Thank you, Aunt Wan, I will do my best.Wenren Wan nodded with a smile and said again: "Changhuai will also go to watch."Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Isn't the Dao Court Department busy?"The Sword Discussion Assembly is an important matter, gathering cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces, the scene is too large. The first priority of the Dao Court Department is to maintain the stability of Lun Dao Mountain and ensure that no major events happen during the Sword Discussion Assembly…This is official business, so Changhuai will also go.Wenren Wan explained.Oh… Mo Hua nodded.Wenren Wan said some more words of encouragement and blessing and told Mo Hua not to be nervous, then left.Mo Hua didn't feel there was anything to be nervous about.He still cultivated as usual, read books, and practiced array law in his sea of consciousness until midnight.He got up the next day, facing the sunrise, full of energy.After a simple tidying up, Mo Hua set off with his fellow sect disciples to Lun Dao Mountain to participate in his first Sword Discussion match.On the way, Linghu Xiao was aloof and indifferent, Ouyang Xuan's face was gloomy.Situ Jian was as calm as ever, Cheng Mo was full of excitement and anticipation.The five people arrived at Lun Dao Mountain together.After that, it was the routine process of participating in the Sword Discussion.They entered the preparation room, selected spirit tools, elixirs, talismans, and array laws, and then the elders of Lun Dao Mountain distributed the 'Lun Dao Jade.'This 'Lun Dao Jade,' integrated with the Five Grade Lun Dao Mountain Great Array, is the 'trigger' for urging the void force.To the disciples, it is both a 'protective talisman' and a 'life talisman.'If the jade exists, the person exists; if the jade breaks, the person is defeated.Before distributing the Lun Dao Jade, the elders need to assess the disciples' physical bodies and blood energy to set the 'endurance injury amount' of the Lun Dao Jade.Everyone else was fine, but when it came to Mo Hua, the crowd of elders was a bit troubled."I've been an elder for so many years and presided over so many Sword Discussion Assemblies, but I've never seen a disciple like this…""Truly… unbelievable.""How can his blood energy be so weak?""Really eye-opening…"Mo Hua's face was dark.Several elders didn't notice his mood and kept chattering:"With such aptitude, Taixu Gate can still accept him into the sect, truly… not taking the usual path…""How exactly is he going to fight in the Sword Discussion, I can't imagine…""That is, his body is delicate, his skin is as thin as paper, if he gets chopped by a sword, it's estimated that the person will just be gone…""As for the Lun Dao Jade, it will shatter with a touch.""How can he still participate in the Sword Discussion?"A group of elders frowned, worried about Mo Hua.An elder really couldn't bear to watch and kindly said: "How about we add a little 'blood volume' to his Lun Dao Jade?""Add it…""This… doesn't conform to the rules?""That is, even if you add this much, it's still a drop in the bucket; this child will still shatter with a touch…""Add a little bit, he's so weak, I really can't bear to watch…"Mo Hua: "…"After a discussion, the 'Lun Dao Jade' Mo Hua received was finally given a little 'blood volume' boost.Because it was witnessed by a crowd of elders, it wasn't considered cheating.Mo Hua's mood was complex.This group of elders, although they said bad things about him for half a day, were truly strangely kind at heart…Of course, although they said they strengthened it a bit, it wasn't strengthened much, and his Lun Dao Jade was still very weak.Other people's Lun Dao Jade was glossy and bright.Mo Hua's Lun Dao Jade only had a faint trace of blue light.With just one glance, the difference was clear.Mo Hua didn't care either. After that, he stuck the Lun Dao Jade on his forehead, and it immediately trembled slightly, with void force protecting his body.Mo Hua's delicate and sensitive divine sense could feel the array law power flowing in the void, seemingly real and seemingly illusory, vague yet profound and infinite.This is… Five Grade Void Force…Mo Hua was shocked in his heart.It's a pity his realm was too far off.Otherwise, in this situation, he could use heavenly mechanisms to deduce and reverse engineer some array patterns of this void great array.Mo Hua regretted endlessly in his heart.After that, he patiently waited with Linghu Xiao and the others, waiting for the time to arrive to go on stage for the Sword Discussion.And at this time, outside the field.Mo Hua didn't know that too many cultivators were waiting for him.A sea of people stretched as far as the eye could see, some clear and some dark, and countless pairs of eyes were all watching the Fang Tian Painting Shadow, waiting for Mo Hua to appear.Among these people, there were many relatives and friends.Such as Wenren Wan, Yu'er, Hua Qianqian of Baihua Valley, Murong Caiyun, Shangguan Xu, and other disciples who had graduated from Taixu Gate…And the high-level officials of many families and sects.Including the head of the Gu family and a crowd of elders, the elders of the Shangguan family and the Wenren family, who had interacted with Mo Hua, and also some high-level officials of families and sects whom Mo Hua had never met.In the dark corners, there were also pairs of ice-cold, gloomy eyes, wanting to spy on Mo Hua.And many cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces, including disciples of sects who had not seen Mo Hua before, were also waiting for Mo Hua to show his face.They had come to the Qianxue state boundary, and while traveling, sitting, and visiting Dao friends, they had more or less heard of Mo Hua's name.Therefore, many people wanted to see in person what this legendary 'Array Dao Chief' looked like.Of course, not everyone had heard of Mo Hua.In the outer field of Lun Dao Mountain, someone occasionally asked:“Who is Mo Hua?”At this time, someone knowledgeable would rattle off a long string of titles:“The array law monster of Taixu Gate, abnormal divine sense, with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, forcefully overpowered the array law heavenly talents of the Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, and Twelve Streams, his divine sense exceeded three ranks, he drew a nineteen-pattern peak array law, cleared the array discussion question bank, seized first place in the array discussion, became the Qianxue Array Dao Chief, a legendary array law monster, a monster among monsters who is almost impossible to exist…”This string of titles was really too long and too exaggerated, so many outer cultivators frowned upon hearing it.Their first reaction was:"Are you people in the Qianxue state boundary all bragging like this now?""Can't you be a bit more realistic?""Let's all be a bit more honest.""Perhaps we cultivators from outside don't have 'experience,' but we really don't lack 'common sense'…"Some people were half-believing and half-doubting, and curiously asked:"What exactly does this Array Discussion Chief named 'Mo Hua' look like?"This saying was more abundant.I heard he's not tall and his temperament is extremely skewed.He's very gloomy, like a 'ghost.'If you can learn array law to this extent, you're either a madman or a 'pervert'…I inquired, and I heard he is a pervert…My cousin's cousin's uncle's third son's cousin is a disciple of Duangin Gate, and he said that Mo Hua of Taixu Gate is very despicable and shameless, his actions know no bounds, and his lower limit is extremely low. Once, a senior brother of Duangin Gate was stripped naked and hung on a tree, and turtles were drawn on his body…"Draw turtles?! So vicious…"Indeed, too vicious.And, I heard his private life is chaotic, and he has a relationship with the direct daughter of a Six Grade great family of the Dao Court…In the stands, a group of people swore, each holding their own opinion, discussing endlessly, for a time it was noisy.And just under such watchful eyes, the image above the Fang Tian Painting Shadow blurred, and then finally, Mo Hua's figure appeared.(End of this chapter)
