Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2742: Chapter 100: A Pair of Eyes_3

The complete, fierce beast form of Taotie, the Power of Laws is still too strong.

With Mo Hua’s current level, it still cannot be comprehended.

Seeing more isn’t necessarily a good thing.

What he can do is from a single "Formation" perspective, gradually progress from the shallow to the deep, from few to many, dissect the Laws piece by piece from shallow Formation Patterns to deep Formation principles, grasp the Laws, and finally integrate them, mastering the power of Taotie.

This is something that cannot be rushed.

Once hastily advanced, he might be counterattacked by the Laws, leading to eternal destruction.

However, Mo Hua’s idea is great; reality is full of obstacles.

At this stage, just relying on Taotie Patterns in the Formation, he doesn’t comprehend much more.

Taotie Pattern is the pattern of Taotie Law, the carrier of Dao, the embodiment of the Law.

From "Great Dao" to "Law", then to "Formation Pattern", this is a top-down derivation from essence to the end.

But reversing the process to deduce is very difficult.

Especially, Mo Hua’s Realm is not high, and he hasn’t deeply comprehended what "Taotie Law" specifically means, even if he exhausts his Divine Sense and uses Heavenly secret Calculation, he cannot deduce deeper things.

After all, this is not a common Formation.

It’s not even an ordinary Ultimate Formation.

This is the Great Wilderness, symbolizing the catastrophic Taotie Absolute Array.

"Then I can only change direction again..."

Mo Hua pondered for a long time and thought of another matter:

Famine Disaster.

According to the phenomena when Taotie was born, filled with monstrous resentment, it can be roughly inferred that Taotie was born in Famine Disaster.

Or more accurately, Taotie was born in an ancient time, who knows how many years ago, during a great famine disaster of massive scale, extremely disastrous consequences, nearly causing the extinction of the Great Wilderness.

Mo Hua confirmed this from Elder Dan Zhu, Chi Feng, and some tribal Elders like Zamu.

Not only major tribes like Danque Tribe, but even smaller tribes like Wutu, Wusha, and Black Horn have legends of that ancient great famine disaster.

This famine disaster was so severe that it had a special name:

"The Great Famine."

Even the name "Great Wilderness" probably came from the colossal disaster caused by that ancient "Great Famine."

Famine turned into a disaster, causing extinction, hence this land is called "Great Wilderness."

Of course, this is legend.

Legends have the flaw of being hard to distinguish between true and false, and they are often vague.

The timing is also hard to pinpoint.

Moreover, this legend contains another issue that baffles Mo Hua:

If the ancient era’s "Great Famine" gave birth to the unparalleled fierce beast—Taotie,

Then what about the subsequent famine disasters?

Following the legendary "Great Famine," famine disasters still frequently occurred in the history of the Great Wilderness.

Such records are often found in the ancient texts of various tribes of the Great Wilderness.

Are these later famine disasters caused by Taotie?

Is it famine disasters that spawned Taotie?

Or did Taotie cause the famine disasters?

This seems like a chicken or egg situation, Mo Hua cannot clarify.

Or perhaps...

Are famine disasters and Taotie coexisting phenomena?

If said this way, wouldn’t the famine disasters currently spreading in the Great Wilderness be caused by..."Taotie"?

Upon this thought, Mo Hua’s heart trembles:

So, the red-yellow aura of extreme hunger, making people desperate enough to resort to cannibalism, that he previously encountered, is essentially...

Taotie’s Power?!

The Power of Laws he had been searching for may have already... appeared in front of him and surrounds him?

Is it Taotie’s Power relentlessly chasing after him?

Mo Hua deeply sighed.

Indeed, the myriad phenomena of the world, intricate and varied, all contain different "Dao."

What people lack is only a pair of eyes that can discover the "Great Dao" and "Law."

.....

Afterwards, Mo Hua did not hesitate, he arranged the affairs of the Wutu Tribe, exchanged a few words with Dan Zhu, and then set off to the place outside the Wusha Mountain Realm where the famine disaster is spreading.

Previously, he had to avoid the famine disaster.

Now, he instead has to chase after the famine disaster—if "famine disaster" truly means "Taotie’s Power."

Five days later, Mo Hua arrived at a secluded Kushan Mountain west of the Wusha Mountain Realm, north of the Red Wood Mountain Realm.

The vegetation in the mountain withered, and the aura of famine disaster burgeoned.

This is the "frontline" where the famine disaster is spreading.

To closely observe and study the famine disaster, Mo Hua decided to temporarily reside in this Kushan Mountain.

Bachuan and five Danque Barbarian Soldiers set up a camp for Mo Hua and guarded him.

Mo Hua initially intended to come alone, as he was used to acting by himself and disliked being burdened.

But he couldn’t resist Dan Zhu’s worries, fearing that he might encounter danger, so she sent Elder Bachuan from the Golden Core Realm with five Danque Barbarian Soldiers to take care of him.

After all, Mo Hua is Shaman Lord, noble in status, cannot afford any mishaps.

And Mo Hua does indeed need someone to handle chores and do some trivial tasks for him, as well as dealing with dangers.

After all, his hands are precious now, not to be tainted with human life.

So Mo Hua agreed.

The original choice for guard was "Ba Shan."

But Ba Shan is a big guy, talks quite a bit, a bit noisy, so Mo Hua let the more steady Bachuan be the guard.

Bachuan is quieter, not very talkative; he basically silently does whatever Mo Hua instructs him to do, and other than that, he generally doesn’t ask much.

Mo Hua is quite satisfied.

In the days that followed, Mo Hua stationed himself on the frontlines of the famine disaster, personally observing, analyzing, and studying the aura of "famine disaster," searching for the reasons for its formation and spreading characteristics.

After researching for a while, Mo Hua can basically be certain that the so-called "famine disaster aura" truly is some kind of "Taotie’s Power."

But he cannot really determine where this "Taotie’s Power" comes from.

It’s not possible for a "living" Taotie to be roaming the land of the Great Wilderness, spreading disasters everywhere, right...

Mo Hua feels this is unlikely.

A "living" Taotie would be too terrifying; Mo Hua nearly lost his sanity just by briefly glimpsing the "true form of Taotie" while studying Formation Patterns and contemplating Laws.

If Taotie truly appeared in the world, the disaster could never be of the current scale.

The Great Wilderness might be entirely lost in an instant.

The genuine Taotie is tantamount to more horrific "Taoist Demon."

"But if it’s not Taotie walking in the Great Wilderness causing disaster, then what is exactly going on with this famine disaster?"

Mo Hua looked at the aura of famine disaster constantly emerging and spreading before him, pondered for a long time, then suddenly his heart skipped:

"Could it be...it’s also a Formation?!"

"Is someone using a Formation to induce Taotie’s Power and spread famine disaster across the Great Wilderness?!"
