Immortality Through Array Formations

Elder Yi was somewhat surprised, "Is there something you need?"

"Um," Mo Hua nodded, speaking softly, "Elder, may I go to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Dao Room to practice spells?"

"Foundation Establishment Late Stage?"

Elder Yi shuddered and looked at Mo Hua with a wary face, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing much..." Mo Hua chuckled, "I just feel that the Dao Room for those in the later stages of Foundation Establishment is... safer."

The Dao Rooms for disciples at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment were also very safe.

What was not safe was you...

Elder Yi thought silently to himself.

"Don't cause any trouble with dangerous things, especially during the New Year..." Elder Yi murmured softly.

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, it's very safe!" Mo Hua assured him.

"Go on, go on," Elder Yi waved his hand.

"Thank you, Elder Yi!" Mo Hua smiled.

Following the direction Elder Yi had given, Mo Hua entered a Dao Room that was unfamiliar to him.

The spell-casting dummies inside were more special, made of rarer materials, and more defensively sturdy, featuring an even greater array of spell defensive formations.

Similarly, all four walls of the room had been reinforced with Second Grade high-rank formations.

After entering the Dao Room, Elder Yi watched it intently without taking his eyes off it.

He was afraid that with a moment of inattention, there would be a "boom," and both Mo Hua and the spell-casting dummy would "suffer mutual destruction."

If the dummy was destroyed, that was inconsequential.

But if Mo Hua were injured, he wouldn't be able to "rest peacefully" this year, or probably the next as well.

Fortunately, after a long while, there was no abnormality in the Dao Room.

It seemed Mo Hua was practicing spells normally.

Only then did Elder Yi let go of his anxieties, wondering if he had been worrying over nothing?

Even as a cultivator in the initial stages of Foundation Establishment, causing a spell pattern to collapse inadvertently and blowing up a Dao Room at that stage was outlandish enough.

But it would still be far-fetched to blow up a Dao Room meant for the later stages of Foundation Establishment...

Feeling reassured, Elder Yi leaned back in his chair again, leisurely sipping tea, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Inside the Dao Room.

Indeed, Mo Hua did not attempt anything "dangerous."

Otherwise, a moment of carelessness could harm himself and make Elder Yi's New Year miserable, and Mo Hua was very considerate of Elder Yi's difficulties.

Mo Hua simply followed the "Forbidden Technique" structure he had already modified many times and stabilized, and began to rub together fireballs.

He cast two skills at once, fusing homogenous fireballs.

With his Divine Sense forcefully compressing them, he caused the fireballs to collide and squeeze at high speeds, inducing a Skill Pattern collapse, and the internal Spiritual Power Fusion formed a new "little fireball" containing powerful spiritual energy.

On the fireball, the Fire Spiritual Power flowed and entwined like magma, the highly condensed fiery force displaying an even pale purple hue.

This fireball was less powerful than the uncontrolled Fireball Forbidden Skill Mo Hua initially cast.

It was also slightly less powerful than the fireball he used to blast through the chest of the Fire Buddha.

But at the same time, the danger level of the spell had been minimized.

The spell itself was more controllable as well.

And the speed of casting had also increased.

From Mo Hua's past combat experience, only fully controllable spells could be applied more steadily and delicately in actual combat.

Uncontrollable spells would be like a double-edged sword.

When killing the enemy, they could also end up killing oneself.

Hence, in order to be cautious, he deliberately reduced the power of his spells and minimized the consumption of spiritual energy.

What he gained was more precise, quick, and composed spell control.

Mo Hua calculated in his mind.

First and foremost, stability and safety!

Afterwards, once he was skilled enough in using this Forbidden Technique, he would try to gradually lift the restrictions step by step.

Through even deeper spell pattern collapses, he would introduce Spiritual Power Fusion.

Bringing out the maximum potential of this Forbidden Technique...

However, before all that, there was a problem:

He needed to give this Fireball Forbidden Technique a new name.

"Meteor Fire Skill" was definitely unusable.

That was the Fire Buddha's Forbidden Technique; mentioning it would make astute observers suspicious.

"Fireball Technique" was also out of the question...

Too commonplace.

"And 'Forbidden Fireball' was even worse..."

It was like wearing the word "Forbidden" on your forehead, as if afraid others wouldn't realize it...

Looking at the small fireball in his hand, resembling condensed lava, Mo Hua frowned and pondered for a long time until his eyes suddenly brightened.

Since the fireball was a fusion, containing meteor fire,

Then he would name this Forbidden Technique:

Mini Meteorite Skill!

Mo Hua nodded, with his eyes shining brightly.

...

The year passed by quickly.

A month blinked away.

Taixu Gate began its new term.

The disciples who had enjoyed the New Year's holidays all returned to the Sect with sour faces, listlessly and reluctantly.

The once quiet Taixu Gate became bustling again.

This was Mo Hua's second year of studying at Taixu Gate.

After a year of cultivation, most disciples had started to adapt to life in the Sect.

They were about to start formally integrating with the Sect's system...

A few days after the start of the term, with the permission of the Taixu Sect Master, all the new disciples who had entered this year were officially granted access to the "Merit Points" feature of the Taixu Token.

They were also to begin taking on tasks.
