It’s as if...
From a familiar young man, he turned into an unknowable evil monster.
At the sa ti, a mysterious aura spread from Mo Hua.
Monts later, the strange atmosphere dissipated, and Mo Hua’s expression returned to normal. He pointed to a waterway in front of him and said, "Turn right at the middle, and you can find the owner of the broken sword..."
Xia Canonical Official’s expression slightly shook.
"So this is... finding the way?"
She looked puzzled, thought for a mont, and then her pupils shrank as she exclaid:
"Heavenly chanism Skill?!"
Gu Changhuai was also startled upon hearing this, and quickly looked at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua, however, asked in confusion, "What is the Heavenly chanism Skill?"
Xia Canonical Official looked into Mo Hua’s clear eyes, a little surprised, "You don’t know what the Heavenly chanism Skill is?"
Mo Hua nodded.
He actually knew a little bit.
But what he knew was sothing he had guessed and cobbled together, summarized purely from experience.
It’s a wild thod, not sothing elegant or respectable.
The true, systematic, academic Heavenly chanism Skill, he had no idea about.
So claiming not to know what the Heavenly chanism Skill is wasn’t a false statent.
Xia Canonical Official frowned, "Then what were you just using?"
Mo Hua blinked, "It’s sothing I learned back ho in Li State from an old Taoist who was passing by, wearing tattered clothes but kind-hearted and benevolent-faced."
"It’s a divination pathfinding thod that can use divine sense perception to ’divine’ the correct path, making it easier to find people or things lost in the mountains."
Mo Hua spoke with great seriousness.
Xia Canonical Official herself was also clueless about the Heavenly chanism Skill, having heard only a little about it, and after so thought, found Mo Hua’s words reasonable.
The so-called "divination pathfinding thod" should be so folk-level, lower-tier Heavenly chanism Technique circulated among lower-level cultivators.
Occasionally, it can perceive so minor causes and effects, but compared to true Heavenly chanism Skill, it’s like clouds and mud.
As for the old Taoist, shabby clothes, kind-hearted, benevolent face...
That also seed plausible.
There are indeed many experts or quirky alchemists in the cultivation world who like traveling.
It’s normal for them to master so strange spell points.
Xia Canonical Official secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought, how could soone at the re Foundation Establishnt Realm learn the Heavenly chanism Skill...
But Xia Canonical Official still cautioned Mo Hua:
"This kind of spell point, don’t use it recklessly in front of others in the future, nor divine carelessly..."
"Why?" Mo Hua asked.
Xia Canonical Official said solemnly:
"Even though it’s just a simple minor causal spell point, the word ’cause and effect’ is involved, which can overly deplete divine thought, and it’s easy to cause fluctuations in one’s own fortune. The most severe is that if you ’divine’ the cause and effect of so powerful cultivators, you might provoke experts and suffer causal backlash, and you are only at Foundation Establishnt..."
Xia Canonical Official looked at Mo Hua with concern, "...This severe causal backlash is sothing you, a child, cannot withstand."
There is actually causal backlash...
Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart, nodded solemnly.
He then thought about how, along the way, he seed to have calculated a lot of causes and effects, yet he hadn’t seed to provoke any "experts" or suffer any causal backlash.
He didn’t know whether he was lucky, or if his master had secretly arranged so ans of protection.
In any case, he decided to be more cautious in the future.
However, for now, the matter of the Water Yama should be fine, at least regarding causes and effects, there shouldn’t be too many concerns.
After that, the three drove the boat, quietly moving forward along the waterway divined by Mo Hua.
The further they went, the more complex the river beca, making it harder to discern direction.
This area was downstream, with silt accumulation, and occasionally there were shoals overgrown with waist-high weeds.
So, as the small boat moved forward, it often had to stop.
Mo Hua would take out the broken sword and divine again, then re-determine the direction.
Xia Canonical Official silently watched Mo Hua, feeling more and more puzzled as she did.
All heavenly chanism causality and even divine thought skills consu divine sense, especially those involving the heavenly chanism path and causal calculations, which consu even more divine sense.
But this young boy, after so many divinations along the way, still hadn’t exhausted his divine sense.
Just how deep was his divine sense?
Xia Canonical Official was a little shocked.
Of course, no matter how strong Mo Hua’s divine sense was, it couldn’t be used indefinitely.
Moreover, such calculations involve two types of heavenly chanism algorithms, which are quite difficult.
After a few more calculations, Mo Hua’s divine sense was almost depleted.
But in front of them were still clumps of water plants, and the surroundings were dim and obscure, with no sign of people or any other clues.
Mo Hua then patiently sat down for ditation, to recover his divine sense.
About an hour later, Mo Hua opened his eyes, with his divine sense mostly restored.
But he didn’t dare to calculate anymore.
Heavenly secret tricky calculations amplify heavenly secret calculations, which damage the Sea of Consciousness.
He had already calculated too many tis, and his Sea of Consciousness felt faintly painful.
Divine sense can be restored through ditation, but damage to the Sea of Consciousness cannot.
Furthermore, waterways are different from land routes, especially in such complex water zones, where pathfinding through heavenly secret calculations is much more challenging.
Mo Hua sighed.
This Water Yama really knows how to find a place to hide.
Gu Changhuai saw Mo Hua’s face slightly pale and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Mo Hua nodded, "It’s okay, it’s just..."
He looked at the water plants, mud flats, and shallows before him, the mixed and varied waterways, and said helplessly:
"It seems it won’t work today..."
Xia Canonical Official looked up at the sky and said:
"It’s getting late, and if these water bandits are active at night, we’ll easily be discovered if we delay until evening."
"Moreover, at night it’s pitch black, the river is dangerous, and water demons appear, which might be risky..."
There was nothing for the two Golden Cores to fear.
The danger was for Mo Hua.
After all, Mo Hua was only at the Foundation Building Middle Stage, with weak Blood Qi, and facing dangers at night, he might not survive.
Gu Changhuai then said, "Let’s head back first, and return tomorrow."
Mo Hua nodded.
But he felt sowhat reluctant in his heart.
Having co this far, they now had to turn back.
Although they could return tomorrow, so things are better done sooner rather than later, who knows what might change after a day.
As Mo Hua was pondering this, Gu Changhuai had already turned the boat around, and the small boat drifted leisurely back the way they ca.
After a mont of sailing, Mo Hua suddenly froze, as if sensing sothing unusual, and quickly closed his eyes, extending his divine sense to its fullest to perceive everything around.
Soon, a faint, intermittent sound reached his ears.
"Benefactor..."
Mo Hua paused, and following the sound, he looked down.
He then discovered along the edge of the boat, a small silver fish, frantically wagging its tail, chasing after his small boat.
"...Little Silver Fish?"
