Mo Hua asked, "Is it truly so rare?"
"Naturally," Sword Bone remarked wistfully, "The inheritance of the Sword Dao lies in three aspects: swordsmanship, Sword Qi cultivation, and spirit sword forging."
"Sword Qi and swordsmanship need to be complemented by a spirit sword to achieve maximum power. Without becoming a sword cultivator, one does not yearn for a fine sword."
"Sword forging is also linked with a vast Tao cultivation industry, and at times, the method of forging swords can be even more important than the inheritance of Sword Qi and swordsmanship."
"And the core secret of sword forging is the sword array within the sword weapon. How could it be easily leaked?"
"If the sword array falls into outsiders’ hands, extreme sects would issue a pursuit order."
Sword Bone spoke with a heavy tone.
Mo Hua was secretly taken aback in his heart.
He had underestimated the complexities involved with the "sword array."
"Since the sword array is so important, the origins of the sword arrays on myself..."
Mo Hua pondered for a moment...
The Gold-Cutting Sword Formation was something he had secretly learned.
But in the matter involving the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Sever Gold Sect "ceded territory and paid compensation," opening a small portion of the Gold-Cutting Sword Formation’s heritage to Taixu Gate.
This way, the Gold-Cutting Sword Formation he possessed now had a "legitimate path," unafraid of being discovered by others.
And the few formations obtained from Sword Bone...
The Taia Mountain Opening Sword Formation, this one belongs to Tai’a Sect.
Now Tai’a Sect has merged into Taixu Gate, so what belongs to Tai’a Sect also belongs to Taixu Gate.
Being all one family, he thinks there’s no harm in studying it.
Even if discovered, at most he would need to pay some merit points, which should resolve the issue.
According to the Sect Leader, he has already reached the limit of merit points for Foundation Establishment disciples, making it more than enough to buy this sword formation.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.
With his status as "Array Leader," he likely wouldn’t even have to spend those merit points.
The Gui Water Sword Formation... is also no big deal.
After the Rouge Boat incident, Gui Water Sect underwent a regime change. The sect’s system, as well as its elders and disciples, were thoroughly overhauled by the Central Dao Court.
At this moment, they are too preoccupied to concern themselves with him.
If push comes to shove, he can have Uncle Gu from Taoist Court vouch for him.
Because according to Wang Chen, the overhaul of Gui Water Sect was orchestrated with the help of Uncle Gu and Xia Canonical Official.
Uncle Gu still holds some sway in Gui Water Sect.
The final formation is the Li Fire Sword Formation.
This one matters even less. This sword formation might not even be a heritage within the Qian Learning State Boundary, so learning it should be of no consequence...
Mo Hua sorted through the cause and effect of these sword formations from start to finish, and only then felt at ease.
There’s no other way; matters of heritage can be both trivial and significant.
If no one cares, you can learn as you please, but if someone chooses to pursue it and make things difficult, it could be a massive burden.
It’s best to be cautious. Fınd the newest release on novèlfire.net
Mo Hua nodded in agreement, shedding his worries, and planned to continue his studies.
But a moment later, he suddenly recalled something and asked Sword Bone:
"You were once a disciple of Tai’a Sect, weren’t you?"
Mo Hua continued, "Is there any unfulfilled wish you have with Tai’a Sect? Now that the Three Sects are unified, with Tai’a Sect and Taixu Gate merged together, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I might be able to help you fulfill them."
In that instant, Sword Bone felt a bit moved.
This little ancestor actually has some humanity...
But it remained silent for a moment, looking at its body forged entirely from white bones, with its dark, hollow eyes revealing a complex expression.
"There’s no need for that. As the person I once was, I am already dead."
"Let the dead rest peacefully in death; it’s for the best..."
Mo Hua did not insist, saying, "Alright!"
He was merely being polite.
He was so busy, where would he find the time to resolve any cause and effect or grudges for this Sword Bone?
Subsequently, he needed to focus wholeheartedly on cultivating Sword of Divine Thought, wasting not a moment.
Mo Hua resealed Sword Bone, tossed it into his storage bag, and then began to study the three sword formations gathered from Sword Bone.
The sword formations were all second-grade.
Mo Hua was now at the peak of nineteen patterns with his divine sense, possessing profound mastery of second-grade arrays, so learning these sword formations wasn’t too difficult.
After spending two days comprehending, and practicing on the Taoist Stele hundreds of times, he basically mastered it.
After mastering the sword formations, he could further reconstruct the Sword of Divine Thought based on the sword arrays.
In his Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and internally viewed his divine soul. A strange calculation shadow appeared on his body, and using the vast computational power of his divine sense, he captured the opportunity for the fusion of formations and Sword Dao, beginning to evolve the Sword of Divine Thought using the sword formations he just learned.
After an indeterminate period, Mo Hua opened his eyes and extended his palm.
Strands of dark earthen patterns spread out, intertwining and solidifying into a heavy, endlessly continuous Sword of Divine Thought.
This was the Taia Mountain Opening Sword.
Mo Hua flipped his hand, making the Mountain Opening Sword of the earth series disappear.
A hidden yet sharp Sword Qi emerged, comprised of formation patterns, transforming into a water-blue longsword.
Then the Gui Water Sword vanished; Mo Hua made a grasping motion, igniting fierce flames in his palm. These flames solidified into explosive patterns, ultimately manifesting into a raging Li Fire Sword.
With a swing of the sword, a bright red flame trail was drawn.
Within moments, Mo Hua had manifested swords of divine thought of the earth, water, and fire series.
Within each sword, a sword array was constructed, containing powerful divine thought power, and adhering to different laws, it wielded divergent killing power of the Dao.
With the Sword of Divine Thought in hand, Mo Hua’s gaze was enlightened and radiant.
Each sword formation could manifest a sword.
Others’ Sword of Divine Thought could only transform into one sword.
But his Sword of Divine Thought could change in myriad ways.
