The Quest for Immortality

The primary task is to form a core.

To form a core, first, one must cultivate their power to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, letting spiritual power become like mercury, refined to the extreme, reaching the cusp of crystallization and transformation.

Second, it is necessary to nurture the embryonic form of one’s own Magical Treasure to a state of harmony and resonance, so that during core formation, secret techniques can be used to fuse the treasure embryo with the cultivator’s essence, fully refining it into a more powerful Golden Core Realm Magical Treasure.

However, Mo Hua’s own Magical Treasure differs from others.

He carefully considered that to forge his Magical Treasure, he first needs to refine his Divine Sense to the second grade twenty-four patterns realm.

With the second grade twenty-four patterns Divine Sense, he can comprehend the Ancient Wild Extinct Formation, the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation.

Once he masters the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation, he can inscribe this Ultimate Formation into his body.

Once inscribed into the body, life and formation become one, allowing him to refine it into a Lifebound Formation during the core formation process.

Enhancing Divine Sense, comprehending formations, inscribing formations, refining formations...

Mo Hua frowned.

None of these four steps can be skipped, and each one is not simple.

First is the issue of Divine Sense.

Refining Divine Sense to twenty-four patterns in the Foundation Establishment Realm is nothing short of a tall tale for most cultivators; it’s simply impossible.

But the path I walk is one of Divine Sense Proving the Dao. Divine Thought is the foundation of the Great Dao.

Even if I don’t study the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation, I must continually refine and continuously strengthen my Divine Sense before forming the core, striving to push it to the near-limit. .

Only this way, during the formation of the Golden Core, can the Divine Sense further surge, achieving a stronger qualitative change.

Therefore, the second grade twenty-four patterns Divine Sense is already a prerequisite for core formation.

What is truly tricky are the subsequent steps of comprehending, inscribing, and refining the formation.

The Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Formation is not only an Ancient Formation but also part of the Barbaric Wilderness array system, being an Ultimate Formation of Fierce Beasts.

Comprehending it is bound to be extremely challenging, involving many unknown areas of formations.

Whether it can be learned and how long it will take to learn are both hard to say.

This is the difficulty of ”comprehending the formation.”

Even upon comprehension, how to ”inscribe the formation” also harbors challenges.

After inscribing, how to smoothly ”refine the formation,” making the formation and the body one, the diagram and the bone compatible, merging the two into a Lifebound Formation to successfully form the core...

Just thinking about these problems can give one a headache.

Mo Hua frowned, inwardly complaining:

”Why is it that my cultivation involves such peculiar, rare, and obscure things...”

”Isn’t there any heritage where I can cultivate smoothly, step by step, just by ’copying the homework’ so that I can have peace of mind?”

Mo Hua sighed deeply.

His cultivation path is full of variables, mostly relying on crossing rivers by feeling the stones, moving forward step by step.

Moreover, while cultivating, if he’s not careful, he might veer off course.

He’s not even clear where he veered off to...

”Forget it, cultivation is inherently not smooth sailing. If one wants to carve out a new path and achieve a Taoist Foundation that is extraordinary, one inevitably must ponder exhaustively and spend extraordinary mental energy. If one aspires to achieve the Great Dao, it is indeed impossible without exhausting effort...”

Mo Hua quietly comforted himself, then considered another matter.

Aside from core formation, another important matter is ”Evil Transformation.”

Core formation is for becoming stronger.

Evil Transformation is to ”prevent disasters.”

Since leaving the Qian Learning State Boundary, without the fortune blessing of Qian Path virtues, Mo Hua felt his Life Chart becoming increasingly unbalanced, with rising resentment in his heart.

Even if he exhausts all means to suppress the murder lust in his heart, the evil qi in his Life Chart still stirs restlessly.

In such a situation, refraining from murder is fine, but once acted upon, it is bound to disrupt the causal balance, provoking a backlash of evil qi.

If no methods are devised to resolve this evil qi, over time, one’s temperament will inevitably be eroded.

Even in extreme circumstances, encountering unexpected or major changes, intense stimuli may lead to the evil qi reversing, and the rage surging, inevitably leading to further killings, completely descending into a murder-driven Demon Head.

This is an significant hidden danger.

Mo Hua cannot turn a blind eye to it.

The problem is that in his time at the Qian Learning State Boundary, the excessive slaughter he inadvertently incited while breaking the Blood Sacrifice Array generated a massive sea-like, unfathomable evil qi resulting from the backlash of cause and effect.

Such a vast amount of evil qi is something he alone cannot bear.

To completely resolve it is extremely difficult.

Regarding specific methods of ”Evil Transformation...”

Mo Hua’s eyes slightly narrowed.

The Pupil Skill of the Water Prison Sect seems to be able to use ”righteous evilness” to enhance its power, but this ”nurture evilness” technique seems different from regular ”Evil Transformation.”

Besides this...

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, abruptly startled as he thought of a certain thing.

He searched through his Storage Ring for quite a while, finally finding a Tao Cultivation Canon that he almost forgot about.

Inscribed upon it were several words:

”True Manual of Demonic Path Cultivation.”

This was something Mo Hua confiscated from the Great Demon, Fire Buddha, in the Qianxue region, a demonic secret manual from long ago.

It was an extremely superior heritage of the Demon Evil Sect.

Fire Buddha followed this spell point, wantonly slaughtering the innocent, cultivating and nurturing evil to amplify the power of the Meteor Fire Skill using the evil qi within his eyes.

Mo Hua acquired this ”True Manual of Transformation,” long ago, but it was a demonic inheritance, which he always kept deep in a chest without taking it out. Yet ironically, it now turns out to be somewhat useful.

However... ultimately, this is a demonic method for evil transformation, so it cannot really be learned verbatim.

Should it be mislearned, leading to the mind going astray, it would be turned into a farce instead.
