He felt icy cold all over.
Mr. Tu imdiately shook his head saying, "Impossible, that man’s Dao, no matter how terrifying or deceitful, his influence could never extend this far..."
"Especially under the Divine Lord’s watchful eyes."
"Impossible..."
Mr. Tu murmured.
In the depths of mystery, with causality swirling about, Mr. Tu cast aside this suspicion, letting it slip from his mind.
Only, he never realized whether he forgot it willingly or was forced to forget...
...
At the boundary of Qianxue State, various undercurrents surged.
Mo Hua’s days, on the contrary, beca peaceful.
He lit calming incense daily, contemplating the "Tai Xu Diagram" given by Elder Master Xun — Mo Hua didn’t know what the diagram was called, he simply used his specialty and gave it an arbitrary na.
Contemplating Tai Xu Diagram, refining the Taoist Heart.
Besides that, attending classes, cultivating, learning formation techniques, continued as usual.
After several days, the remnants of so chaotic and corrupt desires from the sea of consciousness, were purified almost completely.
Mo Hua spent so ti reinforcing his sea of consciousness.
In such a way, his realm of divine sense thoroughly stabilized.
Nineteen Patterns!
Mo Hua felt delighted in his heart.
A Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator’s divine sense, generally speaking, this was the strongest level achievable.
His senior brothers, even those a level above him, didn’t possess divine sense as strong as his.
Even so inner sect disciples at the Foundation Establishnt Peak, if they didn’t study formations or walk the path of divine sense, wouldn’t have divine sense surpassing his own.
Mo Hua was very pleased.
Moreover, although his cultivation level had not increased, thanks to breaking through two divine sense realms, his divine thought grew significantly stronger, and most of his Tao cultivation thods, including formations, spells, and even rudintary "Divine Thought Sword Transformation", showed obvious improvent.
Only...
Thinking about Divine Thought Sword Transformation, Mo Hua frowned slightly.
His Divine Thought Sword Transformation was "crippled".
It could only be used within the divine thought world, including contemplation maps, illusionary realms, dreamlands or nightmares.
It couldn’t be used in reality.
But the orthodox "Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue" should not be like this...
Mo Hua recalled the sword cultivator elder from the small fishing village.
That elder’s Divine Thought Sword Transformation could be used in the real world.
Using sword technique as support, through externalizing divine thought, condensing into sword intent, rging with sword qi, it could slash through blood and flesh demons, even ghostly specters.
But his own could not.
Mo Hua had tried many tis; no matter how he attempted, it didn’t work.
Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators indeed could externalize divine thought.
But this externalization could only be used passively for sensing, not actively for slaughter.
At most, it served for active "object manipulation".
However, the manipulation itself is not based on divine thought slaughter, but relies on the object controlled by divine thought, like spirit swords or other spiritual artifacts, to perform offense and defense.
Mo Hua sighed.
"How exactly can I learn the true ’Divine Thought Sword Control’?"
"Is it because my divine sense isn’t strong enough?"
Mo Hua paused, suddenly rembering, a long ti ago, Lord Yellow Mountain indeed ntioned the divine sense requirent for Divine Thought Sword Control:
"At least Golden Core, above twenty patterns..."
"Furthermore, even Golden Core might not achieve it..."
"After all, Divine Thought Sword Transformation is sword qi transforming into sword intent, sword intent representing sword qi, not rely using ’divine thought’ to represent sword qi..."
Mo Hua scratched his head.
Twenty patterns, Golden Core divine sense, who knows when that day will co.
Those who have proven the Dao with divine sense know, that one pattern divine sense from a breakthrough in a great realm requires an extrely terrifying amount of divine sense.
From nine patterns to ten patterns divine sense, he had tempered for quite a while.
From nineteen patterns to twenty patterns, not to ntion, the gap is as vast as a sea.
Mo Hua pondered again:
"My divine sense is unique, perhaps I don’t need exactly twenty patterns, maybe once nineteen patterns grow a bit stronger, I can try again?"
Yet this provoked another question.
How to break through beyond nineteen patterns?
The fact that he attained nineteen patterns might largely be due to his good luck.
Mr. Tu, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, unbeknownst how long he reared a large wave of demon wraiths, was ultimately to Mo Hua’s benefit, as he devoured them in one swift breath.
Refining so many evil spirits, only then he fed the Heavenly Dao Seal, allowing his divine sense to break through eighteen patterns, then together breaking through to nineteen patterns.
But there is only one Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Even if Mr. Tu’s divine skills were extensive, it would be impossible within the Qianxue State Boundary, to cultivate a second "land of demon wraiths".
If so, he could only leave the state boundary.
Yet he still was under house arrest...
Mo Hua was stirred, "Perhaps, when I have the chance, I should ask Elder Master Xun, if he can lift my house arrest?"
"But what excuse should I give?"
Mo Hua was sowhat perplexed.
As he hesitated, unsure of what "legitimate reason" to use to persuade Elder Master Xun, Elder Master Xun unexpectedly sought him out first.
"This is Formation Diagram with eighteen patterns."
Elder Master Xun handed over a thick stack of formation diagrams incorporating so Five Elents and Eight Trigrams formations to Mo Hua, and reminded:
"Though your divine sense is nineteen patterns now, formations should be learned step by step, start with eighteen patterns, master them steadily, then learn nineteen patterns, do not aim too high and far."
"Yes, Elder Master." Mo Hua respectfully replied.
Elder Master Xun glanced at Mo Hua and suddenly asked, "Can your divine sense... beco stronger?"
Mo Hua was stunned.
Nineteen patterns, still not strong enough?
"Are you saying... twenty patterns?" Mo Hua asked softly.
Elder Master Xun replied irately:
"How can it be twenty patterns? Even if your opportunity is good and talent extraordinary, Foundation Establishnt Realm won’t reach twenty patterns!"
There is a vast gulf between possessing Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage divine sense and holding Golden Core Realm divine sense.
The gap between Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core is significant.
Both in cultivation and divine sense.
"Oh, oh." Mo Hua nodded.
Elder Master Xun, observing Mo Hua, showed a hint of discreet desire in his eyes, "Just stronger than now will be enough."
Stronger, to ensure greater security.
The sect’s future is at stake, the more secure the better.
"Stronger?" Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, and he nodded, "I can do that!"
Mo Hua then deliberately appeared troubled, whispered, "But within Qianxue State Boundary, it’s unlikely, I need to go out, find so opportunities, undergo so ’tempering’..."
He didn’t specify what this "opportunity" was, nor what this "tempering" entailed.
Elder Master Xun didn’t ask; he rely gave Mo Hua a look filled with intriguing aning, nodded, said:
"Very well, I won’t restrain you; after the new year, you may roam freely."
He wanted to see, once left to his devices, to what extent Mo Hua could "temper" his divine sense...
