Chapter 1081 -674: Enlightenment of Dao

Lord Yellow Mountain faintly sensed that within this little kid Mo Hua, there were traces of “Great Dao” clarity, and at moments, he seemed not like a person but a minor deity born from the Dao itself.

But in the blink of an eye, this impression changed.

Mo Hua had just finished eating a lamb leg, his hand greasy, and he wiped it on his clothes.

He seemed just like a regular, carefree little cultivator.

Half of him was the divinity of the Dao above, and the other half was the humanity of the Dao below, interwoven.

Lord Yellow Mountain’s expression became absent-minded.

However, Mo Hua was unaware of what Lord Yellow Mountain was thinking.

As he wiped his hands, he pondered the knowledge about deities Lord Yellow Mountain had shared, feeling greatly enlightened, which broadened his horizons in Tao Cultivation.

But such knowledge was deep and complex.

Many details were somewhat vague.

Mo Hua listened somewhat hurriedly and still had some trouble “digesting” it.

He silently noted the essential knowledge, pondered for a while, and then asked some scattered questions.

Lord Yellow Mountain seemed somewhat distracted but answered each one.

Like that, until the sky gradually darkened, spilling twilight all over, Mo Hua got ready to part ways.

Before leaving, Mo Hua handed over some fruits, Spiritual Meat, and beverages to Lord Yellow Mountain, saying thoughtfully:

”The mountains are desolate and uninhabited, keep these offerings to eat slowly, I’ll come visit you whenever I’m free

Lord Yellow Mountain’s expression turned complex.

Mo Hua wiped his hands on his clothing again, packed the gnawed-clean bones back into his Storage Bag, then stood up, leapt down from the offering table, and started to walk out, but was stopped by Lord Yellow Mountain.

”Young friend

Lord Yellow Mountain spoke in a gentle tone.

Mo Hua turned his head, looking puzzled at him.

Lord Yellow Mountain was enshrouded in white mist, smoke curling up, residing within the mud statue of the Mountain God, his face somewhat blurred.

”The Qianxue State Boundary is no place to stay long.”

”When you’re in the Sect, leave after reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, even if it delays some years; don’t exceed ten years

”Within ten years… it should still be timely

Lord Yellow Mountain’s voice grew lower and lower, barely audible.

Mo Hua frowned, wanting to ask why, but seeing Lord Yellow Mountain’s distant gaze and fluctuating expression, he chose not to ask and simply nodded,

”Thank you, Lord Mountain, I’ll remember this!”

Lord Yellow Mountain slightly relaxed and made a bowing gesture,

”I won’t see you off then, young friend, take care on your way.”

Mo Hua stood at the broken temple gate, returned the bow, then finally turned and left.

Lord Yellow Mountain sat within the mud statue, his gaze serene, watching the tiny figure of Mo Hua disappear into the distance, as if seeing off an “old friend.”

Old friend?

Lord Yellow Mountain felt bewildered.

How many years had it been since he had felt this way?

Time flies, circumstances change, life and death evolve, the Divine Way is in decline, where would he have any “old friends”?

The Heavenly secrets change, just surviving would be good enough…

Lord Yellow Mountain looked up at the sky again, his narrow eyes growing more solemn.

”This sky… is getting darker

”What a pity, human eyes in their mortal flesh cannot see it

”My Kushan small temple, with broken walls and ruins, I wonder if it can still shelter from the wind and rain

In the deep mountain temple, a deep sigh echoed.

…

Mo Hua left Kushan and took a detour to Qingzhou City to the Gu Family, consulted Aunt Wan about some Formation media processing matters, greeted Uncle Gu, and incidentally probed about the progress of the merit points from Fire Buddha, and after freeloading a meal, he then returned to the Sect.

Back at the Sect, Mo Hua lay on the desk, took out paper and pens, and began organizing the knowledge about the Path of Deities he had learned from Lord Yellow Mountain.

Formation is a force, Spell is a force, Divine Sense is a force.

Tao Cultivation knowledge, is likewise a force.

Extensive knowledge can exploit cognitive gaps, “killing” others.

Paucity of knowledge leads to cognitive barriers, potentially resulting in being “killed” oneself.

Therefore, newly learned Tao Cultivation knowledge must be firmly remembered, carefully pondered, and well summarized to transform and merge into one’s own cultivation cognition.

The matters related to deities are vast and intricate.

Mo Hua began arranging his thoughts on paper, gradually enhancing his own cultivation cognition.

First of all, the matter of the existence of Divine Thought.

From talking to the non-human Mountain God, his “good friendLord Yellow Mountain, Mo Hua could infer…

”Divine Thought” is a broad term.

All intangible consciousness existing in the world can be termed as “Divine Thought.”

Human’s Divine Sense, demon’s demonic thoughts, deity’s will, ghosts’ ghostly thoughts, and other evil spirits’ evil thoughts are all essentially Divine Thoughts.

In Mo Hua’s current cultivation cognition, “spirit” and “substance” are unified.

A spirit cannot exist without substance.

Even naturally born deities, adhering to Dao Laws, possessing powerful and pure Divine Thought Power, also require a “Divine Statue” or other parasitic entities.

If the substance hosting an Evil God is destroyed, it needs to find another body to inhabit.

Mo Hua pondered…

Like that black-clothed leader, who he had blasted with the Mini Meteorite Skill, perishing flesh and blood.

The Evil God’s Eye on his forehead then started detaching from the host, drilling toward his own forehead.

Even an Evil God is so, not to mention other orthodox deities.

Spirit and substance are one, co-existing and co-evolving.

By this inference, once a deity’s Lifebound Divine Statue is destroyed, the serious result is God Destruction and Dao obliteration, the Dao completely destroyed, and the milder consequence is the origin getting damaged, Vital Energy heavily injured.
