Chapter 2107: Chapter 998: Sect Taoist Soldiers (3) Young Master Mo managed to even invite the Sect Leader... Master Gu felt a surge of admiration and gratitude towards Mo Hua, personally escorting Mo Hua and his companions to the outskirts of Solitary Mountain City. After returning to the sect, Taixu Sect Master pondered Mo Hua’s proposal. Mo Hua’s idea was undeniably good. However, the costs involved were indeed high... After a moment, he had a sudden inspiration and found the sect leaders of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu, and the three discussed for a while. After their discussion, Taixu Sect Master summoned Mo Hua: "I spoke with the sect leaders of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu..." Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, immediately understanding, "Are the Three Mountains funding it together?" Taixu Sect Master paused. This child truly was clever; Mo Hua had guessed everything from just a few words. "Indeed, but it’s not that simple," Taixu Sect Master said. "They want to see the results first." With so many Spirit Stones involved, everyone was cautious, generally operating on a see-for-yourself basis. Mo Hua understood and nodded, saying: "I know, Sect Leader, don’t worry." So the next day, Mo Hua arranged for a temporary drill. In this exercise, a dense crowd of disciples donned brand-new Taoist Robes and armor, wielding identical Spiritual Artifacts, executing tactics with uniform and clean movements. They already resembled true Taoist Soldiers. The disciples, who were previously somewhat lax, now formed five-man teams, as sharp "spears" through the forest, advancing and retreating with ease, attacking fiercely. Additionally, there were some special teams. For instance, five burly body cultivators, clad in armor, carrying shields, looked like five iron mountains, imposing just at sight. Five disciples donned wind-based Taoist Robes, wearing step wind shoes, running swiftly through the grass. Also, five sword cultivators, in light armor, each wielding a Giant Sword, hacking at whoever appeared. These Spiritual Artifacts and formations were interchangeable. The armor included Gold Armor, Water Armor, Fire Armor... The accompanying Spiritual Artifacts comprised Gold Sword, Wood Sword, Water Sword, Fire Sword, etc. The sect leaders of Taixu, Taia, and Chongxu sat in the platform, silently observing these scenes, not speaking for a long while. The Taixu Sect Master knew well. But even as Taixu sect disciples donned armor, wielded Spiritual Artifacts, coordinated formations, advancing and retreating, he couldn’t help but be amazed. The sect leaders of Taia and Chongxu appeared calm but felt astonished inside. They knew, as sect leaders, how difficult it was to orchestrate such a setup. Not to mention the formation skills, artifact refining craftsmanship, and manufacturing costs. To truly unite these proud disciples, making them five as one, obeying commands—this was no easy task. This practically resembled "Sect Taoist Soldiers"... Though these sect Taoist Soldiers were just beginning. And what the Taoist Soldiers excelled at, was united strength overpowering the opponent. The disciples demonstrated in this drill, in terms of qualifications and abilities, were mid-tier within the sect, yet with such coordination, their combat power was entirely different. This was what was most terrifying. It signified that the sect disciples’ capabilities had undergone a "transformation" from the ground up. In terms of High-Rank combat ability, perhaps not comparable to the Four Great Sects. But the strength at the base level was immensely solid. All three sect leaders felt a faint yet intense spark of hope, unable to suppress a thought: Could this Sword Discussion Conference really hold great promise? Shortly afterward, Taia Sect Leader said: "I’ll fund these things from Taia Mountain." "Mount Chongxu will fund as well." Taixu Sect Master nodded in satisfaction. ... On the other side, Mo Hua nodded in satisfaction as well. His master had told him that a conspicuous tree in a forest would surely be broken by the wind. To flourish without drawing attention requires "hiding within the forest." If the forest isn’t dense enough to hide, then he would create a vast forest himself. Mo Hua gazed below, rows of Golden Armor gleamed, spears and swords clashed, Taixu sect disciples displaying grandeur, his eyes bright. ... The Spirit Stones were in place, the Spiritual Artifacts and formation media were ready as well. Mo Hua had drawn a portion of the High-Rank Formation Patterns on the Spiritual Artifacts. The rest were assisted by senior siblings from the Inner Gate, along with instructors and elders. In a rush, everything was well-prepared. Tomorrow, the Sword Discussion Conference would finally commence. At the Disciple’s Residence. Mo Hua reviewed all matters from start to finish, confirming there were no major oversights, finally easing his mind. Tomorrow, it was time for the Sword Discussion. Taixu Gate, facing the Four Sects and Eight Gates, Twelve Streams, and even Qian Learning Hundred Gates, was set for a formal confrontation. He might also take part. Mo Hua felt a slight twinge of nervousness, but after pondering, saw no reason to be anxious—it was just fighting, after all. A victory would be great, a loss...no one would die anyway. Mo Hua calmed himself and continued practicing formations. He did this every day. No matter what, nothing could hinder his progress in formation mastery. Whenever he had time, even if only to draw a single formation or pattern, he would utilize it, earnestly studying formations. There were no shortcuts in formations. Progress in formations came from constant and persistent practice. And now, Mo Hua with Divine Thought Core Formation, practiced not ordinary formations. The Thunder Magnetic Absolute Formation, Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation, and reconstructing the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Diagram with twenty-one patterns—any of these formations would leave others in disbelief.
