Chapter 1828: Chapter 908: Mutual Fishing

Disciple’s Residence, 1 p.m.

Deep night.

Mo Hua meditated on the bed, his Divine Sense delving into the Sea of Consciousness, summoning the Taoist Stele, using the Robbery Thunder on the stele to obliterate the will of the Evil God within the Divine Remains, refining a precious Divine Marrow like flowing gold.

None of the Divine Marrow was left as Mo Hua completely absorbed it all.

The Divine Marrow deepened Mo Hua’s Divine Sense Sublimation.

His Divine Sense further condensed, yet the “Divinity” within the Divine Marrow also consumed the “humanity” within his Taoist Heart.

Mo Hua held steadfast to his original intentions, while absorbing Divinity, preserved humanity, and melded the Divinity with humanity to soften the drawbacks of devouring the “Divine Marrow”.

This was an “insight” he previously realized, concerning the Divine Way and the Human Dao.

Now, he wondered if it was the transmission from “Patriarch Dugu”, practicing Supreme Emotion Cutting, severing emotions without losing sentiment, cutting the ego while preserving the true self, severing desires without extinguishing humanity, instead deepening his understanding of the Divine-Human Dao.

Perhaps due to practicing “Emotion Cutting”, a new Law was introduced into his Divine Thought, and Mo Hua’s absorption of Divine Marrow improved, as the repulsion of Divinity against humanity diminished.

After entirely absorbing the Divine Marrow, the gold on Mo Hua’s Divine Thought became purer.

The wounds on his Divine Sense healed significantly.

The fusion of Tai Xu Sword Intent and Divine Soul deepened.

His Divine Sense Sublimation advanced further.

The bottleneck in his Sea of Consciousness, caused by the spiritual power mutating due to the practice of Heaven Yan Jue, intertwined with the golden Divine Thought to form a Mystery Formation, showed signs of loosening.

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction.

Divine Marrow is indeed good stuff; as long as he consumes more, all current bottlenecks and obstacles can be solved effortlessly.

The recent hunt for Elder He also proved his plan feasible.

Even though his cultivation was insufficient for him to venture out, he could use the Thunder Magnetism Formation to eavesdrop on intelligence, strategize layouts, and then use the hands of the Taoist Court to hunt down the Golden Core Realm Demon Heads, acquiring the necessary Divine Marrow for himself.

It’s akin to “playing chess”.

He is the “chess player,” and others are the “pieces.”

He strategizes, and the Taoist Court “works.”

Though calling them “pieces” might be excessive.

His relationship with Uncle Gu and the others, in essence, remains mutually beneficial.

In this chess game, he gains Divine Marrow while Uncle Gu and the others obtain merits.

Besides, the Demon Cultivators also got a chance to “turn over a new leaf,” and the Evil God’s remains got “purified,” so, in summary, everyone has a bright future ahead, one can say it’s a win-win for all.

A “win-win” chess game naturally calls for more play.

Mo Hua then continued to monitor the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation of the Demon Sect.

With the death of He Lao Qi, it should theoretically cause some commotion within the Demon Sect.

As anticipated by Mo Hua, in the days following He Lao Qi’s death, the Yuan Magnetic fluctuations were unusually frequent within the Demon Sect, low-level disciples were restless, and discussions were abundant:

…

“Elder He is actually dead!”

“…killed by the Taoist Court!”

“How could this be?”

“Elder He’s cultivation wasn’t weak, not to mention his ‘Crane’ moniker, his body adorned with Monster Patterns, also in crane shape, light as a crane, moving like flying, ordinary Golden Core Cultivators would find it difficult to catch him, let alone kill him…”

“It is said that someone leaked information, revealing Elder He’s whereabouts and the flaws in his cultivation technique.”

“His abilities targeted so perfectly, naturally led only to ‘death’.”

“Indeed… once exposed, with the power and methods of the Taoist Court, it’s certainly a death with no survival…”

“Those Taoist Court dogs, floating through life daily, but once serious, they are quite troublesome.”

“It is said that the person in charge is that cold-faced Supervisor Gu Changhuai.”

“That Gu, truly deserves death, sooner or later, to be ground into powder!”

“Grinding into powder won’t do, live-skinned and devoured alive is better!”

…

Mo Hua shook his head.

As a Taoist Court Supervisor, naturally remembered with hatred, it truly puts Uncle Gu in a difficult position.

And truthfully, Uncle Gu is inadvertently taking the blame on his behalf.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but sigh, then continued watching to see if his actions utilizing the Sect Token’s Yuan Magnetic Order would spark any suspicion.

…

“But come to think of it, Elder He’s death can’t be blamed on others…”

“A blade looms over affairs of lust.”

“Even a rabbit does not eat the grass near its burrow, yet as an Elder, he took pleasure in the wives of others and only assaulted the partners of disciples…”

“Though I am also a Demon Cultivator, already shameless and have done many evil deeds, it still feels somewhat shameless…”

“Indeed…”

“Blinded by lust, he deserves death.”

“Cautious words, this is an Elder, daring to show disrespect…”

“But he’s already dead.”

“A dead Elder is still an Elder.”

“It’s fine to chat idly in the Demon Sect Token, no one sees it unless you report to the Elder…”

“We both have leverage against each other through years of acquaintance, so I wouldn’t expose your secret over a trifling matter…”

“Then what to fear?”

…

Seeing this, Mo Hua was somewhat surprised.

Do these Demon Cultivators not know that their conversations could be “monitored”?

Is it because they don’t understand the Yuan Magnetic Formation and are unaware of the intricacies within?

Or has the Demon Sect never mentioned it to them?

Or perhaps the Demon Sect itself lacks the means to monitor Yuan Magnetic information?

Mo Hua stroked his chin.

“I must find a way to figure this out…”

According to Elder Zheng, if within the Demon Sect, there are only “application-level” Yuan Magnetic Formation Masters without more advanced Thunder Magnetic Array Masters, he can operate without restraint and pursue his endeavors boldly.
