The sword discussion between the Taixu Gate and the Vajra Sect has ended.
Every move, every technique, and every detail of Mo Hua's steps during this sword discussion were imprinted using the "Ink Image" and transmitted to all sects, reaching the hands of the Elder of Daoist Law in charge of the sword discussion.
Throughout the Qian Learning State Boundary, from the Four Great Sects to the Eight Great Gates and Twelve Sects, many elders were observing the Ink Image of Mo Hua, analyzing his every move.
So sect elders even held joint etings to discuss this matter.
In a grand hall, the Ink Image was suspended high.
On the Ink Image, Mo Hua's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently. The elders from various sects exchanged opinions inside the hall:
"I see..."
"I was saying, how could a Spiritual Cultivator like him survive without so life-saving techniques? With that kid's cunning nature, he must have so trump card... turns out it's the Concealnt Technique."
"His movent technique is nothing remarkable, but this Concealnt Technique is indeed exceptionally exquisite, showing that he's put in a lot of hard work."
"No one had gathered this information before?"
"Taixu Gate treats him as a 'Little Ancestor, and their intelligence is tightly guarded."
"It seems the Taoist Court had a hand in sealing all of Mo Hua's records."
"People have ntioned before that he knows the Concealnt Technique, but it was offhand and not taken seriously."
"The most crucial point is, no one expected his Concealnt Technique to be so powerful."
"Why?"
"Because... his Divine Sense is strong?"
"Yes, the core of the Concealnt Technique does not lie in the technique itself, but in the Divine Sense."
"Don't forget, when Mo Hua was at the middle phase of Foundation Building, he already had nineteen patterns of Divine Sense..."
"Peak of Nineteen Patterns," soone added, "Nineteen patterns and the peak of nineteen patterns are not the sa concept."
A Body Cultivation Elder, not understanding the intricacies of Divine Sense, remarked, "Isn't it still nineteen patterns... what's the difference?"
"This..."
A well-versed elder explained:
"The gap here is significant..."
"Divine Sense differs from Spiritual Power, elusive and formless, with a completely different quantification system for Tao Cultivation."
"From Foundation Establishnt Late Stage to Foundation Establishnt Peak, it's still Foundation Establishnt, and the gap doesn't exceed a minor realm."
"But the gap between nineteen patterns to twenty patterns of Divine Sense spans a chasm."
"This chasm is the Peak of Nineteen Patterns."
"The disparity at the peak of nineteen patterns of Divine Sense from end to end truly varies imnsely, not less than the gap from ten patterns to nineteen patterns."
"This chasm is a limitation of the Heavenly Dao but also a gift."
"With this vast chasm in place, Foundation Building Cultivators cannot surpass the 'Heavenly Chasm' of the peak of nineteen patterns and presumptuously aspire to reach the realm of the twenty-pattern Golden Core Divine Thought. This is the limitation of the Heavenly Dao."
"However, once a Foundation Building Cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core, their Divine Thought will naturally step into the twenty patterns."
"The Divine Sense at the peak of nineteen patterns is graciously gifted by the Heavenly Dao; it's like once you break through to the Golden Core, your Divine Sense doubles, thus it is also a gift from the Heavenly Dao...
So elders understood this pedantic lecture on Tao cultivation, but others were a bit confused.
Soone asked, "So what is Mo Hua's Divine Sense level now? Which step is he at the peak of nineteen patterns?"
The elderly elder shook his head, "Who can accurately see such things? The peak of nineteen patterns itself is the 'Chasm Area' of the Heavenly Dao with no
precise standards."
"Moreover, it's rare for cultivators to reach the peak of nineteen patterns; there's a lack of reference cases to establish a benchmark"
"But no matter how you look at it, although Mo Hua's Divine Sense is still at the peak of nineteen patterns, it is undoubtedly stronger than before."
"As for how much stronger... it's hard to say."
The elder, resembling a scholar, shook his head.
Everyone frowned, their expressions sowhat solemn.
Soone else asked, "Could his Divine Sense be at twenty patterns now?"
The atmosphere around imdiately quieted down.
The elders felt a tightening in their chests.
The elder resembling a scholar frowned, sowhat displeased:
"Did you not understand a word of what I just said?"
"What do 'Heavenly Chasm, 'Chasm, and 'Heavenly Dao's limitation' an?"
"If he surpassed this Heavenly Chasm, crossed this chasm, and broke through this Heavenly Dao's limitation, wouldn't the world change drastically, and
anomalies appear in the skies?"
"How could that be possible?"
"Even as elders, think a bit before speaking...
The elder who spoke was left embarrassed after being reprimanded.
"Then if his Divine Sense is this strong, doesn't it an... no one can detect his Concealnt Technique? And wouldn't he be invincible in the sword
discussions?"
"Shi Tiangang practices Body Cultivation and lacks Divine Sense; that's why he couldn't recognize it."
"What does Body Cultivation have to do with it? If you put a Formation Master up there, would their Divine Sense be stronger?"
"Don't forget, in the previous Formation Competition, he was the leader. Across the entire Qian Learning State Boundary, among so many formation talents, none could surpass him, and that was three years ago..."
Everyone fell silent.
But soon, soone's eyes lit up, and they suggested:
"Then use spiritual tools?"
"The Divine Sense of a cultivator has strengths and weaknesses, where the
weaker can't discern the stronger clearly and can easily be toyed with. But spiritual tools are different, being lifeless objects, they are not as affected."
"That's indeed a thod."
"Not just spiritual tools, but also reveal dust."
"A cultivator's nature is not unique, but relies on external factors..."
"Thus... this might be a way...
After the elders' discussions, they roughly formulated a plan.
The next sword discussion is Taixu Gate against Longding Sect.
Longding Sect, one of the Four Great Sects, inherits the Dragon Cauldron Body Refining thod.
It is said that the ancestor who founded Longding Sect had great achievents
in assisting the dragon and had strong ties with the Taoist Court, thus being passed down the "Dragon Cauldron Technique," using the Blood of Karmic Dragon for Marrow Cleansing and with the Green Cauldron Appearance, refining the Dharma Body.
