Asking about longevity

“Why can't I see it...?”

“Is there some trickery of other evil gods hidden within this? Does that Mr. Tu have even deeper schemes?”

Mo Hua pondered for a long time.

But the clues were too few, and he still had no idea for the time being.

The resurrection of the evil god and Mr. Tu's grand plan had been going on for who knows how many years.

Without actual cause and effect, he couldn't possibly find any clues by just sitting in the room and thinking blindly.

However, there was another question that made Mo Hua quite curious.

Mo Hua propped his chin, frowned, and muttered in his heart:

“If this Duanmu Qing really went to Rouge Barge...”

“Then what would she do on the Rouge Barge?”

“Play?”

“Play what?”

Currently, the Rouge Barge seemed to be a high-end pleasure venue.

It used beauty as a medium, nobility as an attraction, and power as a hierarchy to lure geniuses, collude with each other, and form cliques.

To put it simply, those geniuses went to the Rouge Barge to play with women.

Then what about Duanmu Qing?

She was already a woman, so it was impossible for her to “play” with women, right...?

Then she would... play with men?

Open her own “harem,” raise pretty boys, raise gigolos, and indulge in extravagant pleasures?

“Tsk tsk~”

Mo Hua shook his head, feeling emotional in his heart.

Knowing a person's face but not their heart...

On the surface, she was such a cold and aloof fairy, but behind the scenes, she played so wildly...

The people in this world are truly more corrupt and depraved behind the scenes the more glamorous they appear on the surface.

However, this was just his wild guess.

He couldn't really be sure whether this was the case or not.

There was no way, this circle was too chaotic, and they played too wildly.

Pure as he was, he really couldn't imagine what these aristocratic children of noble families would play in the secret rooms of the Rouge Barge...

It was too late to want to know now.

“When I blew up the Rouge Barge, did I also blow up the pretty boys raised by Duanmu Qing?”

“Could it be because of this that she wanted to kill me?”

“That's not right...”

“At first, she didn't want to kill me either. It was because I said her 'Dao heart was dirty' that she lost her composure...”

“But why was she so concerned about this sentence?”

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn't understand.

Duanmu Qing, this woman, looked extremely beautiful, but she was also very fierce, and mysterious, with a bit of neuroticism, making her unpredictable.

“I'll pay attention later...”

“Duanmu Qing... and the other three Qianxue geniuses, and...”

“Mr. Tu...”

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes deep, with a spark of light like a flame.

After that, he abandoned distracting thoughts, calmed down, and continued to bury himself in the study of formations.

Things were intricate and complicated, and needed to be unraveled layer by layer.

Learning formations required perseverance, and could not be abandoned.

Many situations were unclear now, and learning more formations would give him more to rely on...

Mo Hua focused his attention and began to study formations.

Currently, his study of formations still followed the previous plan.

One was to restore the Four Symbols Dragon Diagram.

Through the Four Symbols demon patterns, obtained from the adventure in Ten Thousand Demon Valley, he would piece together the formation patterns, trace the demon patterns to their source, and thereby restore a complete “dragon pattern.”

This kind of tracing to the source was very difficult and time-consuming, and could not be achieved overnight.

However, it was greatly beneficial to deepening the understanding and practice of the Four Symbols formation.

If he could really rely on his own ability to restore a “dragon.”

Then, in a sense, he would also possess an achievement far surpassing ordinary formation masters, worthy of being called a Four Symbols Formation Grandmaster.

Therefore, in Mo Hua's eyes, this kind of restoration itself was both a kind of learning and a kind of understanding and improvement of formations.

In addition to this, there was the Reverse Spirit Formation.

Mo Hua had already learned the basics of the Reverse Spirit Formation.

He had also begun to comprehend the principles of the Reverse Spirit Formation.

Therefore, Mo Hua did not face many real “major thresholds” in learning and mastering the Second Grade Reverse Spirit Formation.

But small thresholds continued to appear.

There was no way, this was, after all, a Second Grade Supreme Formation, not so easy to learn.

It required persistent practice and gradual comprehension.

Sufficient effort had to be paid before it could be achieved naturally.

Mo Hua looked forward to it in his heart.

Once he completely mastered the Reverse Spirit Formation, he would truly master the power of the Second Grade “Supreme Formation.”

He would be able to use his own Reverse Spirit Formation as “fire” and other people's formations as a “medium” to set off bigger “fireworks.”

Of course, these fireworks might not really be set off.

But the ability to set off these fireworks must be there.

Mo Hua nodded, then suppressed distracting thoughts, calmed down, and began to study formations with concentration.

The Four Symbols Dragon Formation and the Reverse Spirit Formation were the two types of formations that Mo Hua was currently fully focused on conquering.

And both of these formations belonged to the category of Supreme Formations.

They were hard to learn and difficult to practice.

The whole process was long, obscure, and tedious.

Accompanied by the recurring depletion and recovery of divine sense, racking his brains, constantly failing, suffering setbacks, and gaining enlightenment...

But Mo Hua enjoyed it.

There was no shortcut to formations, this was the path a formation master had to take.

Moreover, it was the main road to a higher realm of formations.

Precisely because it was extremely difficult, it was extremely precious...

... ...

After the next day, the Sword Debate continued.

Mo Hua temporarily kept Duanmu Qing's matter in mind. He was still continuing to learn the two Supreme Formations.

But the situation of the Sword Debate became more and more tense.

Especially after losing to Duanmu Qing of the Myriad Cloud Sect in the last Sword Debate, the original “fragile” advantage of the Supreme Mystery Sect instantly disappeared.

The margin for error was further reduced.

The Great Luo Sect was catching up, pressing closer step by step.

Seeing that with only a few more wins, the ranking of the Supreme Mystery Sect would fall again, dropping from the top of the Eight Great Sects.

The Supreme Mystery Sect was naturally unwilling.

Not only Mo Hua, but the other teams of Supreme Mystery Sect disciples were also fighting hard, almost exhausting themselves in every match, which was very tragic.

During this period, the Tai'a Five Brothers, Yang Qianjun, and other teams also desperately won a few games.

These few victories were hard-won. But compared with the overall situation, they seemed a little like a drop in the bucket.

The overall gap between the Supreme Mystery Sect and the Great Luo Sect had not widened.

In this way, Mo Hua could not afford to lose even more.

After that, the Dao Debate Heavenly Instrument continued to deduce the list.

Mo Hua competed in two more Earth-level Sword Debates, one against the top disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, and one against a second-rate, lower-tier team from the Qian Dao Sect.

Although these two teams were not top-notch, they were definitely not weak, and could not be taken lightly.

Mo Hua's tactical thinking was still based on “formations,” supplemented by Linghuxiao and the others, to carry out killings.

He knew too many formations.

Within the Second Grade, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, all were included.

Killing formations, defensive formations, trapping formations, all were proficient.

Before the battle, he would cover it with a small blanket, and no one knew what formations he would secretly draw.

Any formation was possible.

Combined with the terrain and the competition system, adapting to local conditions and adapting to the times, there were thousands of changes, making it difficult to defend against.

And Linghuxiao and the others had made considerable progress in strength and mentality after experiencing so many Sword Debates.

Coupled with Mo Hua's formation assistance.

The Supreme Mystery Sect's team had indeed reached the level of a half-step “top” strong team.

Therefore, although the two Sword Debates with the Lingxiao Sect and the Qian Dao Sect had experienced some twists and turns, they were all won.

But although the Sword Debate was won, Mo Hua had a bad feeling.

Through these two Sword Debates, he vaguely felt that his conventional formation routines seemed to have been figured out...

Although he had been restrained enough in the previous Sword Debates, and had not abused formations.

Most formations were used on the edge of the knife.

When drawing formations, he also covered them with a small blanket.

But these seemed to be useless.

Mo Hua could vaguely feel that when other teams responded to his formations, their every move formed a kind of specification similar to “rules.”

Others might not be aware of this specification, but it could not be hidden from Mo Hua, who was meticulous and had a keen divine sense.

And this kind of “rules” thing could not possibly be made by these disciples.

Because their formation attainments were far from reaching this level.

Mo Hua pondered for a long time, and vaguely guessed in his heart that this was likely a “certain” formation elder...

Or, was it a “group” of formation elders...

Gathering together, dividing labor and cooperating, combining the Sword Debate terrain and competition system, and deducing his formation routines and schools.

This kind of deduction was similar to a real combat simulation.

Using divine sense simulation, deducing what terrain, what competition system, and what opponents he would use in the Sword Debate...

Mo Hua took a slight breath of cold air.

“It's not so bad, right...”

“I'm just a small Sword Debate disciple, is it necessary to target me with such fanfare?”

But his experience and intuition should not be wrong again.

There must be “rules” in the behavior of the Sword Debate opponents.

As for where this “rules” came from, who set it, what shape it was, and what content was in it...

Mo Hua couldn't guess for a while, and it wasn't easy to guess.

But soon, he didn't have to guess.

Two days later, someone personally handed this “rules” to him.

In the dining hall, Mo Hua looked at a jade slip made of white jade in his hand, and fell into deep contemplation.

The name of the jade slip was:

《Rules for Mo Hua》.

Full name: 《Rules of Conduct that Must Be Adopted in the Sword Debate Conference in Response to the Various Insidious Methods of Mo Hua.》

This code was given to him by Song Jian.

According to Song Jian, “All sects that are hostile to the Supreme Mystery Sect, or have been defeated by you in the Sword Debate Conference, have this code.”

“Ordinary disciples don't have it.”

“But among the Four Great Sects and the Eight Great Sects, almost every talented disciple who can participate in the Sword Debate Conference and advance to the Earth rank now has one.”

Because of Mo Hua's relationship, the Broken Gold Sect had a deep feud with the Supreme Mystery Sect and belonged to the “hostile” sect.

In this Sword Debate Conference, also because of Mo Hua's relationship, the Broken Gold Sect lost many games to the Supreme Mystery Sect and was defeated very badly.

Also because of Mo Hua's “black box operation,” Song Jian was now a “top” genius of the Broken Gold Sect.

Therefore, this 《Rules for Mo Hua》 was sent to Song Jian.

Finally, it was forwarded to Mo Hua himself.

The cycle of cause and effect was very ingenious.

Of course, Mo Hua's mood was also very subtle when he looked at this “code for himself.”

In the dining hall, not only Mo Hua was watching.

Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Hao Xuan and a group of junior brothers were also gathering their heads and looking at the 《Rules for Mo Hua》 in Mo Hua's hand.

Even Linghu Xiao, who happened to be at Taixu Mountain for a free meal, couldn't help but steal glances.

The core purpose of "The Mo Hua Handbook" is to target Mo Hua.

Its contents are divided into many sections, including "Technique Section", "Movement Technique Section", "Formation Section", and a page of "Intrigue Section".

The Intrigue Section has the fewest words, mainly consisting of some anonymous sect disciples recounting their experiences of being "tricked" as a warning.

Including: "Don't talk to Mo Hua before the battle;"

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"Don't listen to Mo Hua's slanders;"

"Mo Hua is extremely insidious. All his words are for the purpose of achieving his tactical goals, and there is not a single word of truth in them;"

"Beware of all his conspiracies and tricks..." and so on.

Mo Hua was very unhappy.

Prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a mountain.

How could such a sincere person like himself be called "insidious"? This is simply outrageous...

Fortunately, the "Intrigue Section" does not have many words, indicating that this is only the opinion of a few people, a prejudice, and not to be taken seriously.

Mo Hua continued to read on.

The "Technique Section" is very detailed, listing all the low-level Five Elements techniques that Mo Hua has used in the Sword Debate Tournament so far.

Even some extremely remote and unpopular small techniques, which Mo Hua only casually used once and had forgotten himself, were recorded in this "Handbook".

Each technique is also annotated with countermeasures.

Because they are small techniques, there is no need to pay too much attention to them, so most of them are just a sentence.

The truly special ones are only the Fireball Technique and the Water Prison Technique.

Especially the Fireball Technique.

The entire page is filled with "Be careful of the Fireball Technique!", "Beware of the Fireball Technique's finishing move!", "Rather die than be humiliated, remember!"

The Water Prison Technique is also followed by a large list of points to note, as well as talismans, magical artifacts, and methods to counter the Water Prison Technique.

There are also arguments such as "The Water Prison Technique is disgusting" and "Rather be hit by ten Earth Prison Techniques than one Water Prison Technique".

Although it is not known who compiled these texts.

Mo Hua could vaguely feel the "gritted teeth" hatred and pain between the lines.

After that, there are also many precautions listed for the Stealth Technique.

Including the origin of his Stealth Technique, the type of stealth, how to break the stealth, how to track, when to use magical artifacts...

At the same time, someone also noted:

"Beware of Mo Hua using visible stealth to confuse the audience, otherwise you will be tricked and become a 'big fool', remember."

Mo Hua was confused.

Big fool? Who is it?

After the "Technique Section" is the "Movement Technique Section".

This is much more "professional".

Someone has taken Mo Hua's movement technique, broken it down move by move, and drawn it in the jade slip.

Dissecting each move one by one.

It also includes some flaws in the movement technique moves.

These are probably all dug out from the Motion Picture, drawn down one by one, and patiently figured out.

Every move between the movement techniques, even the pores, has been thoroughly studied.

It is estimated that their eyes are almost blind.

Mo Hua sighed, but he didn't worry too much.

Because movement technique is a kind of strength.

Even if they are familiar with his moves and know his flaws, if their movement technique is not as good as his, not as fast as his, not as exquisite as his, it is still impossible to catch him.

Moreover, the powerful foundation of Mo Hua's Fleeting Steps lies in the powerful and subtle divine sense control.

Only breaking some things on the "moves" is of little significance.

Therefore, this "Movement Technique Section", although seemingly detailed, is just "armchair strategy" and not to be feared.

But in the end, the "Formation Section", which has the most content, is troublesome.

Mo Hua frowned as soon as he glanced at the first two lines.

As he expected, this is indeed a response plan for his formations, combined with the actual combat of the Sword Debate.

So far, he has a limited number of battles using high-level formations.

He has also been hiding some methods.

Logically speaking, there is not much material available for reference.

But the problem is that this is Qianxue Prefecture, where sects are numerous, not only are there many geniuses, but also countless elders with rich cultivation experience.

Among them, there must be a large number of brilliant formation elders.

Mo Hua doesn't have much material for formation battles.

Then these elders will use their knowledge and experience to simulate and deduce.

Listing the competition system, defining the terrain, matching opponents, and then, based on their rich formation experience and the rules of second-grade formations, Mo Hua's habit of using formations, to "deduce" the situation of the Sword Debate's actual combat.

This kind of deduction is full of a lot of possibilities.

First of all, Mo Hua knows too many types of formations.

Secondly, different competition systems, different terrains, different opponents, the battle situation will develop differently, and the formations will also have different applications.

In a specific Sword Debate, when will Mo Hua use what formation, where will he deploy it, and what are the easily identifiable signs.

How should one be vigilant, how to detect, how to probe the formation, how to target it... and so on.

The situation here is too complicated.

And the Sword Debate Tournament is very tight on time.

Therefore, this massive simulation and deduction cannot be completed by a few formation elders in a short period of time.

It must be a large group of elders, working day and night, spending a lot of divine sense, pouring a lot of effort, listing various battle situations, formulating various countermeasures, and condensing all the essence, which is why there is this dense volume in front of them:

"The Mo Hua Handbook · Formation Section".

Mo Hua was really amazed.

These formation elders are really amazing.

At the same time, he was also very speechless.

These formation elders are really bored to death...

As formation elders of the major sects in Qianxue Prefecture, do they need to target him, a small Foundation Establishment disciple, so much?

Isn't their divine sense valuable?

Even if divine sense is not valuable, they should cherish their hair...

If divine sense is damaged, it can be recovered.

But if hair falls out, it may not grow back...

Flesh, bones, body, and hair are received from parents and conform to the way of heaven.

Even for cultivators, hair cannot grow back just by saying it will, otherwise there would be no bald people in this world...

Mo Hua had a headache and couldn't help but sigh.

The fellow disciples next to him, who were looking at this dense, clearly organized "Handbook" that had poured in so much effort, were also shocked.

Cheng Mo exclaimed: "Junior Brother, you really have a lot of face."

"In so many sessions of the Sword Debate Tournament, I have never heard of anyone creating a 'Handbook' to target a disciple."

Others nodded in agreement: "Junior Brother, you can truly be called the 'Number One Person in the Sword Debate'."

"Unprecedented..."

"It is estimated that there will be no one like you in the future..."

Mo Hua's face darkened.

People fear fame like pigs fear fat.

When people become famous, they will cause trouble, and when pigs become fat, they will be slaughtered.

This is not a good thing.

Mo Hua was a little unconvinced, "Has no one been targeted like this before?"

"As far as I know," Hao Xuan shook his head, "no..."

Mo Hua didn't understand, "Then why are they targeting me so much?"

"Maybe because you are too annoying..."

A group of Taixu Sect junior brothers said silently in their hearts.

This junior brother Mo Hua, regardless of other strengths, his ability to "annoy people" is definitely top-notch.

Even more so than his formation strength.

If he deliberately annoys people, that's fine.

The key is that sometimes, he can annoy people unintentionally.

Unintentionally annoying people is the most annoying.

Especially when he annoys people, he still has a pure and innocent face, which is even more infuriating.

This point is vividly reflected in this Sword Debate Tournament.

Of course, they couldn't say this.

After all, in the Taixu Sect, junior brother is still respectable and lovable.

"It is estimated that it is because junior brother is different from other geniuses..."

"What do you mean?"

"Other geniuses are strong in cultivation, which is strong in hard power."

"But junior brother, you are strong in Dao techniques and formations, which is strong in methods."

"Hard power is not easy to target, strong is strong, weak is weak, but methods can be restrained by various methods..."

Some disciples also speculated: "It is estimated that it is because of women..."

"Junior brother, you offended Lu Zhenlong, indirectly offending many of her admirers..."

Ordinary people, if they offend, they offend, but women are not okay, especially beautiful women.

Cheng Mo quickly added: "And Duanmu Qing..."

During the Sword Debate Tournament, Duanmu Qing chased and killed junior brother, with a "never-ending" posture.

Someone sighed: "Being hated and chased by the two fairies of the Qianxue Tournament at the same time, junior brother can be considered 'destined for love'..."

Mo Hua's face darkened even more.

...

After dinner, Mo Hua returned to his disciple residence.

He was busy drawing formations and thinking of ways to deal with the next Sword Debate.

With this "Mo Hua Handbook", his skills, especially the conventional formation routines, have been thoroughly studied, and the next Sword Debate will probably not be so easy to fight.

But in his heart, there was still some doubt.

In this "Handbook", the formation part should be from the hands of the formation elders of each sect.

Because experienced formation masters are needed to do the simulation and deduction of formation combat.

Then what about the other parts?

Who made them?

Mo Hua frowned.

At the same time, in the Demon Slaughtering Order, the mysterious person who was blurred into magnetic ink sent a message in bold ink:

"Many methods targeting Mo Hua have been summarized and recorded in the 'Handbook'."

"Everyone has a copy of this 'Handbook'."

"The subsequent Sword Debates will continue to be supplemented and continuously improved."

"Our purpose: Mo Hua must die!"

"Our goal: Kill Mo Hua!"

A bunch of people below also brushed "Mo Hua must die!"

And this "Mo Hua Handbook" is also constantly circulating and improving in the hands of the Demon Slaughtering Alliance...

In the next few hundred years, the cultivation classics gradually perfected from this "Handbook" born in the Sword Debate Tournament also had another famous name:

"The Demon Slaughtering Bible".
