492 Chapter 478: Daoist Name_1
```
In the midst of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sacrificial Altar, blood patterns covered the ground, thousands of coffins were aligned, the candlelight was dim, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.
There was not a single person.
Except for Mo Hua.
After Mo Hua had the small zombie close the gate, the mural behind him twisted and sealed off the way they had come from.
Mo Hua nodded.
This Spiritual Pivot Formation, truly worthy of being an Ultimate Formation, was much more practical than he had initially thought.
He then began to scrutinize the altar.
During the day, with Lu Chengyun and Zhang Quan around, Mo Hua hadn't felt anything peculiar.
But now, at night, on his own, he felt the altar, despite its glittering gold, was much more sinister and odd, not to mention the coffins and zombies within them.
Mo Hua couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.
He calmed his mind and started to do things one by one as he'd planned.
First, he studied the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses.
Although Mo Hua had designed the Formation eye, it only connected with the Formation Pivot to facilitate the flow of Spiritual Power.
He was not clear about the complete picture of the whole Formation.
The Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses was the culmination of many years of Lu Chengyun's efforts.
He hadn't had the opportunity to look closely during the day to avoid offending Lu Chengyun's taboos.
Moreover, according to Mo Hua's understanding of Formation principles, this Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses was likely not just a Compound Formation, but an Evil Path Great Formation!
Mo Hua executed the Water Passing Step, gathering Spiritual Power under his feet, and walked along the walls to the ceiling, dangling his head down to get a better look.
From his elevated position, he could see the entire Formation at a glance.
Taking the Formation eye as the heart vein, the Formation Pivot as the skeleton, and the Formation Patterns as the flesh.
Everything was in correspondence, the beginning and the end interconnected.
Indeed, it was a complete, large-scale Formation.
Mo Hua memorized the overall layout of the Formation in his mind, then walked down to start examining the Formation Patterns in detail.
The surface of these Formation Patterns appeared to be Evil Patterns.
But at their core, they were still an application of Formation principles of the Five Elements such as earth and water.
Earth Series Formations integrated with the flesh of corpses;
Water Series Formations mixed with blood and water.
Further, by incorporating venomous juices of plants into the construction of Wood Series Formations, they harmonize flesh and blood to create the Patterns of the Evil Formation.
Human flesh and blood naturally resonate with Spiritual Power.
Therefore, Evil Formations often use human blood as ink and human flesh as a medium to enhance the effect of the Formation, as well as to lower the difficulty of the Formation.
While this lowers the threshold, the included understanding of the Dao Laws is much shallower.
Mo Hua shook his head.
Such shortcuts, forsaking the fundamental for the trivial, would not lead to mastery of the Dao of Formation.
Nevertheless, to know his enemy as well as himself, Mo Hua still reviewed and sorted through the Formation Patterns, from start to finish.
After sorting them out, combining them with the Formation Pivot, and the Formation eye he had constructed, he made some Calculations to clear the logic of the operation of Spiritual Power and Evil Power within the Formation.
A complete Formation Diagram of Ten Thousand Corpses now emerged in Mo Hua's Sea of Consciousness.
Mo Hua transferred the Formation Diagram from his Sea of Consciousness onto paper and then looked down at it intently, falling silent in thought.
A moment later, he sighed,
"It truly is the embryonic form of a Large Formation..."
And it was not that simplistic kind of Large Formation just cobbled together for numbers.
It was a kind of Evil Path Great Formation that had been perfected over several generations, with complete Formation Patterns, a concise Formation Pivot, a robust power from the Formation eye, and an obvious mark of inheritance.
"Evil Path Great Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses..."
Mo Hua frowned.
"Where on earth did Lu Chengyun get this Formation Diagram from?"
"Could it be that the Lu Family, or within this Corpse Mine, there are Demon Cultivators who are well-versed in Demon Path Formations, with genuine Demon Sect heritage?"
But in his time at the Corpse Mine, he had become quite familiar with the place.
He had never seen such Cultivators, nor had he detected any trace of them.
"Could it be a chance encounter with some Demon Path rogue, who then gave it to Lu Chengyun?"
