Chapter 740: Conspiracy
Of course, all of this was still only conjecture for now.
Mo Hua understood that this was most likely an unconventional form of "sword control" tailored solely for himself—a shortcut, a way of cutting corners.
Actually learning it would still take a great deal of effort.
How should he forge the sword?
Did the inherent form of a spirit sword need to be altered? If so, how?
What were the principles behind orthodox sword control? How did it differ from his own? How powerful was it, and what were its strengths and weaknesses?
And then there was the matter of sword arrays.
The "sword arrays" within ordinary spirit swords existed to "enhance" Lingli transformations, making them sharp as swords and thereby amplifying a Sword Cultivator's sword qi.
If Mo Hua wanted to use one, he could only redesign the form of the sword array according to sword dao principles.
Because he was not a Sword Cultivator, his own sword qi was negligible. Even amplified, it would be useless.
So he had to abandon enhancement-type sword arrays and use Lingli transformations to turn the sword array into an explosive-type sword array.
The essence of the sword array remained the same, but its purpose differed.
The function of a traditional spirit sword's sword array was to "transform and amplify sword qi," while what he needed was to "transform and unleash sword qi."
Just thinking about the difficulties he would need to overcome made countless problems spring up.
Mo Hua could only take it one step at a time.
For now, he still had to resolve the matter of Duanjin Gate first.
Having mastered the complete Gold-Breaking Sword Array, Mo Hua began selecting mutually restraining Array Patterns based on the principles of the sword array, combining and testing them again
