Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1885: Chapter 926: God-cutting Soul Emergence

”The Godslaying Sword Emerges...”

Mo Hua paused for a moment, looked down at his own palm, and gently clenched it.

Thinking that within his hand, he might hold the power to slay Golden Cores during a breakthrough, a surge of emotion rose within Mo Hua, and his gaze grew increasingly bright.

As long as the Godslaying Sword can emerge, his ”Divine Sense Proving the Dao” will truly undergo a fundamental transformation.

Not only in the Divine Thought World, but also in reality, he could turn the virtual into reality and transform his strongest divine thought into the strongest killing move.

In reality, conduct divine thought slaughter.

”I need to give it a try...”

...

The next day, at Taixu Gate, north of the Disciple’s Residence.

On a quiet little hill.

The vegetation was lush, the mountain forest was majestic, shrouded in a faint mist, serene and peaceful.

Mo Hua sat on the grass, eyes closed, resting.

There was no one else around, only a big white dog lazily dozing under a large tree.

Sunlight filtered through the woods, painting the verdant mountain color, landing on Mo Hua.

The faint mist around also enveloped Mo Hua’s body.

Mo Hua cast aside distractions, cultivated his heart and nature, as motionless as a dead stone.

Not knowing how long had passed, he opened his eyes, where black, white, and gold hues flowed, and the aura around him changed accordingly.

Mo Hua brought his fingers together, pointed at his forehead, drawing out a trace of sword intent between his eyes, then with a sharp gaze, pointed forward with two fingers.

In the void, something seemed to break through, heading straight for the towering tree in front of him.

The mountain wind suddenly rose, the opposite tree, branches, and leaves rustled, seemingly trembling.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment...

Yet moments later, the mountain wind ceased.

Nothing happened.

There was no emergence of Divine Thought into a sword, no sword intent, and the tree remained completely unharmed.

Only Mo Hua maintained the ”sword” posture, standing firmly.

But... still, nothing happened.

The big white dog not far away yawned out of boredom, mouth wide open.

It had already seen enough.

Mo Hua could only lower his fingers, sigh resignedly.

From morning till now, he had tried at least seven or eight times, but it was all in vain. The Soul-Shocking Sword could emerge, but the more sophisticated Godslaying Sword, though it could manifest in the Sea of Consciousness, simply couldn’t emerge from it.

Unable to emerge, hence unable to slaughter.

The distant big white dog wagged its tail, licked its fur, and lay down again to nap.

Mo Hua also sat cross-legged, beginning to ponder meticulously.

”Where exactly is the problem? Is it the wrong method to emerge or my Divine Sense’s realm isn’t high enough?”

Mo Hua recalled that Elder Xun Zixian seemed to have mentioned the typical progression of a cultivator’s divine thought:

”Qi Refining Cultivators can sense external objects through Divine Sense external release;”

”Foundation Building Cultivators can manipulate objects with Divine Sense;”

”In the Golden Core Realm, object manipulation reaches mastery, and the power of manipulating artifacts and controlling swords further ascends.”

”Only upon reaching the Golden Core can one begin to delve into the spell points of Soul Emergence. It is not until Feather Transformation that one can truly master the art of soul emergence...”

Few cultivators delve deeply into the path of Divine Thought. Elder Xun Zixian didn’t follow this path either but being a Formation Master, he had researched it due to personal interest.

His words carried some weight.

”Only the Golden Core can begin delving...”

Mo Hua muttered.

”But that applies to typical cultivators, whereas during my use of the Soul-Shocking Sword, I was already undergoing soul emergence.”

”So... is there an issue with my Godslaying Sword’s emergence method?”

Mo Hua pondered carefully again.

The emergence of the Godslaying Sword was more complex than the Soul-Shocking Sword.

The cultivation of the Soul-Shocking Sword involved imprinting sword intent or Evil Qi Map in the Divine Soul, using the eyes as the medium for emergence, revealing the Divine Soul.

The Godslaying Sword was different, having a deeper and more challenging spell point.

One must first hold their breath, accumulate divine thought, condense the God Slaying Sword Style in the Sea of Consciousness, then swing this sword.

Only then could one use the eyes as a medium to transmit the sword outside.

First ”swing the sword,” then ”emerge.”

Seemingly just one more step, but exponentially more difficult.

The ideal situation is for the sword to follow the mind, the mind to follow the eyes; with one divine thought, the Godslaying Sword condenses, and with one opening of the eyes, the divine thought transforms into a sword and slashes out.

Fast initiation, swift action, and killing with ”gaze” is unforeseeable.

Truly ”I look at you, and you die.”

Yet he was still far from this realm, only able to progress slowly, step by step.

”Step by step...”

Mo Hua first closed his eyes, concentrating, isolating all external interference, and focusing all his attention in the Sea of Consciousness.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua’s divine thought manifestation opened its eyes and held its hands in a void grip above his head.

The thick and pure divine thought, like a golden river, converged between his hands, condensing into a dazzling giant divine thought sword.

A myriad of sword paths flourished.

Gold-breaking, Mountain Opening, Gui Water, Li Fire, all forming within the sword in the form of Sword Array.

The ancient Tai Xu Sword Intent appeared.

The Supreme Emotionless Path, ruthless and devoid of self, cutting through everything, was also integrated.

Mo Hua held the giant sword, its brilliance dazzling, resembling a human god and demon.

If it were to cut down on the evil spirits or divine remains within the divine thought, or even slay the evil embryo, one slash would suffice.

But for emergence, it wouldn’t work.

Mo Hua had tried many times before, but all failed. Just slashing down like this, the power remained confined within the Sea of Consciousness, unable to break through the boundary between reality and illusion, unable to emerge, materialize in the world.

”The method of emergence is incorrect...”

”No, or rather, the way I’m trying to slash out is incorrect...”

In the previous attempts, Mo Hua always focused on ”emerging,” striving to slash ”outwards,” yet within the divine sense, there’s no distinction between ”inside” and ”outside.”
