Chapter 1224: Chapter 720: Array Instrunt System
Mo Hua’s “suggestions” were being sought by more and more fellow sect mbers.
The number of customized spiritual tools they refined grew steadily.
And the collection of Refinent Array Maps designed by him accumulated over ti.
After giving it so thought, Mo Hua simply decided to compile these Formation Diagrams, gradually forming a system for customized spiritual tools.
This system for spiritual tools was quite comprehensive.
Included were functions for scouting, surveillance, and early warnings to gain an advantage over the enemy;
Included were Array Plates designed for trapping enemies, such as Quicksand, Earth Prison, Golden Lock, Wood Binding, etc.;
Included were Armor designed for defenses against Body Cultivation Strength, like sword slashes, spear stabs, and fist strikes;
Also included were Taoist Robes with Magic Defense against fire, water, wood, poison, etc…
The only thing lacking was the variety of offensive spiritual tools.
Because the sons of noble families often used hereditary spiritual tools passed down within their families for attack.
The power of customized weapons made by Mo Hua certainly couldn’t compare with these inherited spiritual artifacts.
The spiritual tools he customized were mostly for specific functions.
Such as Armor-breaking blades, designed to breach the enemy’s heavy armor.
Or the Fire Sword, Water Sword, Golden Sword, and others, used to provide disciples lacking in certain Spiritual Root attributes with the ans of attribute attacks.
But the sons of noble families still adhere to the concept of “one strength breaks All Techniques.”
With Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, profound foundations, practicing Superior Cultivation Techniques and Daoist Skills, relying on sheer strength, they suppress their enemies with power.
They don’t focus too much on finesse like attributes and their counters.
So they don’t use these kinds of offensive spiritual tools much, and Mo Hua didn’t design many either.
However, despite this, the entire set of customized spiritual tools was beginning to take shape.
The system of formations and spiritual tools had already established a basic frawork and prototype.
Combining early warning, trapping enemies, assault, and protection into one.
Just keep improving the Grade of spiritual tools and formations continuously, iterating, complenting, and perfecting the system to let it shine.
But after much deliberation, Mo Hua realized the system seed to lack one thing:
Spiritual Power enhancent.
In other words…
“Five Elents Source Formation!”
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, and then he frowned slightly.
The Five Elents Source Formation was the Sect Protecting Ultimate Formation of the ancient Five Elents Sect, capable of strengthening the Five Elents and amplifying Spiritual Power.
This was indeed a very powerful formation, but since Mo Hua ca to the Qianxue State Boundary, it was rarely used in practice.
One reason was because it wasn’t necessary.
At first, he was just following his Senior Brothers and Sisters around.
They had profound Cultivation and were strong.
Enemies they could overco did not require the enhancent of the Five Elents Source Formation.
There was only one occasion, during the capture of the Bald Eagle, when Senior Sister Murong, under the enhancent of the Five Elents Gold Source Formation, used a Superior Daoist Magic spell condensed with five-colored radiance to obliterate the Bald Eagle.
But that was the only ti.
As for the enemies they couldn’t defeat, it’s best not to engage with them at all.
The wise do not stand under a crumbling wall. Unless absolutely necessary, there is no need to risk a life-and-death struggle with a powerful adversary.
Using the Five Elents Source Formation to enhance Spiritual Power and determine victory or death is a matter where life and death hinges on a thread; a slight carelessness, and one would be the one to die.
So, it’s best not to engage if you can avoid it.
Another reason is the exacting requirents of the Five Elents Source Formation.
Cultivators must stand within the formation to receive its strengthening effects, and once outside the formation, the enhancent of Spiritual Power is lost.
This is equivalent to being a sitting duck.
Especially for Spiritual Cultivators who rely on high offense, low defense, and live off their spells, they dread close combat with Body Cultivators most in life-and-death battles.
Though their spell power is increased by the Five Elents Source Formation, their movents are even more restricted, effectively becoming a stationary “glass cannon.”
It’s a double-edged sword with significant advantages and disadvantages.
Too arcane for use, and the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.
For Body Cultivators, the Five Elents Source Formation seems sowhat redundant as well.
The Five Elents Source Formation strengthens the Five Elents and amplifies Spiritual Power.
Body Cultivators rely on their rich Blood Qi and imnse strength for lee combat, but they also possess Spiritual Root attributes, and Blood Qi also cos from Spiritual Power transford through ridians.
So, even though Body Cultivators are not adept at spells, they too can benefit from the amplification of the Five Elents Source Formation.
However, due to the transformation from Spiritual Power to Blood Qi, Body Cultivators’ enhancent from the Five Elents is nowhere as effective as the direct use of spells by Spiritual Cultivators.
The biggest issue for Body Cultivators is also the restriction of movent.
lee combat requires flexibility in advancing and retreating, with even greater reliance on movent techniques.
In real battle, with rapid exchanges and strikes, it’s even less likely to remain within the range of the Five Elents Source Formation, as this would be self-limiting.
Otherwise, you’re not only a target but also a fool.
So the Five Elents Source Formation, while looking very strong, is in fact very restrictive in use, hindered by various factors.
Unless…
Mo Hua pondered for a mont.
Engraving the Five Elents Source Formation onto Armor, Taoist Robes, and such spiritual tools.
Wearing them all the ti makes movent convenient, without any restrictions.
This is the best solution.
It’s just that previously there were no conditions, Mo Hua couldn’t find anyone to refine such special Armor or Taoist Robes.
Busy with Cultivation, learning formations, and undertaking rewards tasks, he didn’t have the ti to consider this.
But now…
Mo Hua mulled it over carefully.
He was “confined” to the Sect, and it happened that he was studying the developnt of customized spiritual tools; Plus, there was Third Grade Artifact Refiner Master Gu helping.
The timing, setting, and people were all in his favor.
It was the perfect opportunity to study the practical application of the Five Elents Source Formation.
If researched successfully, this once revered and now nearly extinct Sect Protecting Ultimate Formation of the ancient Five Elents Sect could “return to the rivers and lakes.”
And this Ultimate Formation could perfectly make up for the final piece in the system of formations and spiritual tools that he had constructed:
Spiritual Power enhancent!
Mo Hua’s eyes sparkled as his thoughts beca clearer.
The integration of Tao Cultivation industry.
Combining Artifact Refining with formations to be ultimately applied to Cultivators.
