Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2320: Chapter 1065: Pixiu_2

He hadn’t had the chance to try before.

Now that Mr. Tu wasn’t around, he could finally cut loose and try to break the ”Seal.”

Time ticked by bit by bit.

Mo Hua was very patient.

No one knew how long had passed. With a creaking sound, the Divine Lock Formation dissolved, and the sacred artifact’s Seal was finally pried open by Mo Hua.

Mo Hua’s expression lit up with joy.

He had done it!

If he could ”replicate” the key and unlock it from the inside, it meant that the Great Wilderness sacred artifact would no longer pose a threat to him.

His Divine Thought could also bypass Mr. Tu’s ”Seal” and be used freely.

The many plans he had conceived and refined before could finally begin to be put into action.

With a smile at the corner of his lips, Mo Hua took a step forward, crossed over the Divine Lock Formation, and broke through the Great Wilderness sacred artifact’s Seal.

But right after, Mo Hua’s expression froze, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

”Something’s wrong...”

He had clearly broken through the Seal, yet he still didn’t feel that sense of ”freedom.” In fact, right in front of him there was still a long Divine Lock passageway stretching out, with no end in sight.

Mo Hua frowned.

”What’s going on?”

”Didn’t I already break this Great Wilderness sacred artifact? Why can’t I get out?”

”Is there another layer of Seal inside this sacred artifact?”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then followed the Divine Lock passageway and continued forward.

The further he walked, the greater the pressure became. Even the flesh and bones of his Divine Consciousness body felt faintly suppressed.

Mo Hua’s expression grew solemn. He used Divine Marrow to shield his body, blocked the pressure, and forced himself to keep moving forward.

All around him were ”walls” built from extremely exquisite Divine Lock Formation Patterns, like a Divine Way ”Great Wall” stretching far into the distance.

No one knew how long he walked before the Divine Lock Formation vanished and the space ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a grand and solemn Divine Temple.

This Divine Temple was like a floodgate on the Divine Way Great Wall, suppressing the pass that controlled exit and entry, with the imposing aura of ”one hall guarding the pass, ten thousand evils kept at bay.”

Just looking at it made Mo Hua feel a faint sense of awe.

After hesitating again and again, he still slowly stepped forward and entered the Divine Temple.

The instant his foot crossed the threshold, a fierce wind rushed at him, divine light stabbed at his eyes, and endless majesty descended upon him.

Mo Hua looked up and saw a huge golden lantern hanging in the distant heights.

He blinked, and noticed that the lantern flickered a few times as well. Deep inside, golden jade light shone, as if it were ”blinking” too.

Mo Hua immediately understood—this wasn’t a lantern, it was a giant ”eye.”

Just then, a howling sound rang out. A huge golden head turned around, two lantern-sized eyes overlooking him from on high, glaring down at the tiny Mo Hua.

Man and beast stared at each other, big eyes to small eyes.

Before Mo Hua could react, the giant head split open a bloody maw and, faster than lightning, with a single ”ahh” chomp, swallowed Mo Hua in one bite.

It chewed a few times, discovered it couldn’t bite him apart and that he was even a bit ”hard on the teeth,” and couldn’t be bothered to chew anymore. It simply gulped him down in one swallow and called it done.

After swallowing, the ”giant head” snapped its mouth shut, then narrowed its eyes and sprawled back down on the floor.

The Divine Temple instantly fell quiet again.

But before this ”giant head” could enjoy the peace for long, it felt something foreign in its throat, crawling little by little up its neck. Very soon it crawled into its mouth and began tugging on its tongue and prying at its teeth.

The ”giant head” felt uncomfortable and clamped its jaws tightly shut.

But the little thing in its mouth grew even more unruly, and even brought along fire and ice, golden light slashes, all kinds of burning and stabbing pain—utterly unbearable.

Very soon, the pain spread to the roots of its teeth.

It was missing a tooth, and that little thing had just squeezed into the gap and was hacking at its gums like a sword.

Toothache can be enough to kill someone.

In the end, the ”giant head” couldn’t hold back. It bared its fangs, wrinkled its face, and let out a huge sneeze, spitting out the thing it had just swallowed.

The force of that sneeze was tremendous. Mo Hua bounced across the floor like a little rubber ball several times before finally coming to a stop.

Fortunately, his Divine Thought ”flesh body” was incomparably tough—he couldn’t be chewed apart and couldn’t be smashed to pieces either.

Otherwise, he would either have been crushed between that giant head’s teeth or shattered into bits by that one spit.

Mo Hua stood up, fully roused his Divine Marrow, his whole body shining with golden light, and then finally took a good look at the ”giant head” before him.

It was a golden-jade-colored Divine Beast.

It had two dragon horns on its head, eyes like golden bells, and a body like a fierce lion. Its fur was jade-white, shot through with golden Patterns. Each of its four feet had three toes, covered in golden scales, each toe ending in a golden claw.

Its aura was both ferocious and divinely solemn.

In an instant, Mo Hua realized its name:

Pixiu.

A Divine Beast used for sealing gods and repelling evil in the Great Wilderness sacred artifact.

According to Mr. Tu, this Great Wilderness sacred artifact used one of the Divine Beast Pixiu’s teeth as the medium, and was refined by the Great Wilderness Clan’s forebear experts, supplemented with Divine Formations and Great Wilderness Secret Techniques.

But what Mo Hua hadn’t expected was that this sacred artifact actually hid a living Divine Beast ”Pixiu” inside.

”No, that’s not right... not a living one...”

This should be...the Divine Soul of a Pixiu Divine Beast.

Mo Hua’s gaze narrowed slightly.

No wonder this White Bone circlet could be called a ”Great Wilderness sacred artifact” and could counter the Evil God...

Sealed inside it was a complete, ancient, and powerful Divine Beast soul.

Never mind in the Great Wilderness— even in the Central Dao Court, this would probably be considered an inestimably rare Divine Dao Treasure.

And Mr. Tu had actually used something like this just to ”Seal” him?

Was there something wrong with his head?

”Or...could it be that Mr. Tu himself didn’t know about this ’Pixiu’ Divine Soul...”

Mo Hua frowned.

But calling it a ”complete” Divine Beast soul wasn’t quite right either. This Pixiu seemed to be missing a tooth.
