Chapter 330: Farewell Feelings

Mo Hua calmed his emotions and carefully thought for a bit.

The Great Dao Extinction Solution likely didn't count as the full solution yet, at best it was a prototype of the Great Dao Extinction Solution.

After all, he was still only at the Qi Refining stage, could only draw Grade One arrays, and could only derive and unleash the power of a Grade One Qi Refining level Extinction Solution.

However, this was enough.

Mo Hua was already very satisfied with this power.

A black bear and a wild boar at the peak of the late Stage One, destroyed and dissolved by the array, dying instantly, this already surpassed the destructive power of an ordinary Qi Refining realm.

"Since it's like this, then could the array's destruction and dissolution really injure a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Mo Hua couldn't help but think.

Who should he find to test it on?

Looking at this power, even an early Foundation Establishment cultivator might perish if they tried...

Then he could only find some bad Foundation Establishment cultivators to test it on.

Mo Hua stroked his chin and pondered:

"Or, just sacrifice the third boss?"

Anyway, he was likely going to be beheaded by the Dao Court, so using him to test the array before he died could be considered utilizing waste.

It was just that the Dao Court might not agree.

Beheading was a punishment based on Dao Law. Using him to test the array, even if it was private punishment, should not follow the rules.

Mo Hua felt a little regret in his heart.

It would have been better if he had learned this earlier.

This way, when attacking the Black Mountain Stronghold, he could have found a way to secretly use it and test the power of the array's destruction and dissolution on a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now, the only remaining Foundation Establishment at Black Mountain Stronghold was the Qian Family Old Ancestor.

But the Qian Family Old Ancestor was at the middle Foundation Establishment stage, and he was old and cunning.

Mo Hua wasn't very confident whether the array's destruction and dissolution could kill him. Even if it could, he might not be able to scheme against him.

He didn't want to end up failing to steal the chicken and losing the rice instead, and fall into the hands of the Qian Family Old Ancestor.

Mo Hua released his divine sense, confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and that the black bear and wild boar were indeed dead, then he ran forward to look at the detailed situation.

One small half of the black bear and wild boar's bodies were completely intact, not even a hair was injured.

The other half of their bodies had directly disappeared, turning into black fine powder. This fine powder was pitch black and odorless, without any blood or spiritual power aura, like the silent remains of a body that had died and its Dao had vanished, nothing left but useless death.

This was the array master's understanding of arrays, and the use of Heaven Dao's power.

"Array masters are truly terrifying..."

Mo Hua muttered, then nodded again:

"Good thing I am an array master!"

Mo Hua felt a little fortunate in his heart.

After that, among the black fine powder, he found a small blade of grass.

This small blade of grass was specially left by Mo Hua, and it was also the "birth gate" he left.

Mister Zhuang told him that the Great Dao's life and death cycle, life extinction transformation, meant that where there is extinction, there is naturally life.

The array's destruction and dissolution power could extinguish and dissolve all things, but within the extinction and dissolution, there also existed a sliver of life force. This sliver of life force was the "birth gate" left by the derivation of divine sense.

Mo Hua wanted to test the power of the array's destruction and dissolution, and also wanted to test leaving a birth gate containing life force.

And the position of this birth gate, Mo Hua left it on this small blade of grass.

In the slight mountain wind, this weak small blade of grass swayed with the wind. Even when surrounded by the terrifying extinction and dissolution power of the array's destruction and dissolution, it was still safe and sound.

This proved that Mo Hua's calculations were not wrong.

He had not only derived the power of the array's destruction and dissolution, but also derived the birth gate of the array's destruction and dissolution.

Mo Hua couldn't help but become happy.

As long as he practiced and derived more in the future, tested the destruction and dissolution more, and deduced the birth gate more, his array level would increase day by day.

Sooner or later, his array level would be so profound that other array masters would look at him with fear.

Mo Hua was happy for a while, then began to clean up the traces.

The traces of the array's destruction and dissolution had to be wiped away. The black bear and wild boar had to be skinned and boned and taken to be sold for spirit stones. Although their fur was damaged and their blood energy was more than half gone, they wouldn't sell for much spirit stones, but mosquito legs are still meat, so it shouldn't be wasted.

After cleaning up, Mo Hua summarized the usage of the array's destruction and dissolution and felt regret again.

Although the array's destruction and dissolution was powerful, it wasn't particularly easy to use.

Destruction and dissolution required prior derivation, and derivation consumed a large amount of divine sense and took a lot of time.

Without sufficient preparation, it was impossible to use the array's destruction and dissolution on an enemy.

Moreover, the current array's destruction and dissolution was still only like a ground fire array, used as a trap.

This also required advance arrangement, and it couldn't be detected.

When used to deal with demon beasts, the destructive force was too great. After destruction and dissolution, half of the demon beast's body turned into black ash, and the remaining part wouldn't sell for a good price.

It was basically a losing business.

When used to deal with cultivators, the other party couldn't be too smart, or too guarded against him. It was best if they also didn't know he was an array master, so that he could surprise them.

Otherwise, the other party might not fall into the trap.

Also, after the array's destruction and dissolution, the range of the birth gate was also quite small, probably only one or two feet of space, not enough for a person to live in.

This current birth gate was still useless to him.

Mo Hua sighed.

Thinking about it this way, the usage conditions for the array's destruction and dissolution were really harsh.

The derivation was complex, the preparation time was long, the birth gate was narrow, and the opponent was best a fool. Even if they weren't a fool, they couldn't be too smart.

Indeed, the more powerful a force, the more restrictions it has.

Mo Hua sighed.

However, even if there were more restrictions, having a powerful force was always better than having none.

One shouldn't be too greedy.

Mo Hua nodded, packed everything, and prepared to leave. As he turned around, he looked at that small blade of grass again.

The surrounding soil, stones, grass, and wood were all destroyed and dissolved by the array, leaving a desolate area.

Only this small blade of grass, weak but tough, swayed in the wind, seeming to contain endless life force.

Mo Hua looked lost in thought, and suddenly enlightenment was born in his heart.

Mister Zhuang was right. All things in this heaven and earth, all principles of the Heaven Dao, indeed have life followed by death, and death also has life.

After a while, Mo Hua would go to Mister Zhuang every day to ask questions.

Sometimes, he indeed had doubts about arrays and needed Mister Zhuang's guidance;

Sometimes, his mother made good food, and he would bring it to give Mister Zhuang a taste;

When he was truly idle and had nothing to do, he would also go to Mister Zhuang to chat, chatting about the customs of Tong Immortal City, and asking about the customs and anecdotes of the various cultivation states.

Then, when he had free time, he would also play chess with Kui Lao.

They played Five Elements Chess, which didn't require much brain power and was simply beneficial for intelligence, and the two of them played very happily.

Mo Hua cherished this period of time very much.

Because he knew that perhaps in half a year, perhaps in a month, Mister Zhuang would have to leave.

The cultivation world was vast and boundless, and cultivation time was long.

Once he left, the Dao path was long, and perhaps they would never meet again.

Every time he thought of this, Mo Hua's expression would become desolate.

Mister Zhuang would gently touch his head, "Cultivate well, there will always be a day when we meet again in the future."

Mo Hua nodded seriously.

Meeting is fate, gathering is fate, and separation is also a kind of fate.

After meeting comes separation, and after separation, one can gather again.

The blunt Bai Zisheng also felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. He asked Mo Hua: "Mister Zhuang is leaving?"

"Mm." Mo Hua didn't hide it from him.

Bai Zisheng's expression became complex, while Bai Zixi's looked as usual, but her gaze also dimmed a little.

"Mister leaves words, you also have to leave?"

Mo Hua asked.

Bai Zisheng seemed arrogant, but he had a chivalrous heart and was good to him. Bai Zixi helped him with many things and told him a lot of cultivation knowledge and experiences.

Even though everyone was only a registered disciple, they were still considered half from the same sect. Mo Hua still cherished this friendship very much.

Bai Zisheng's expression dropped, "Probably..."

They visited Mister Zhuang hoping that Mister Zhuang would take them as direct disciples. As long as Mister Zhuang left, no matter what, they would all have to leave.

Even if they wanted to stay here, Aunt Xue wouldn't agree.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing for a while.

Mo Hua then took out the wine, meat, and pastries made by his mother and said: "Cultivation is long, if there is fate, we will always meet again."

"Mm."

Bai Zisheng nodded, but his expression was still listless. The beef he ate in his mouth also had no taste.

Bai Zixi didn't say anything, just tasted a few bites of pastries and also felt that they weren't as sweet.

Because they often visited Mister Zhuang, Mo Hua and the Bai family siblings also stayed together for a longer time.

Aunt Xue didn't arrange so many homework assignments, so Bai Zisheng had nothing to do but spar with Mo Hua in Dao law.

Bai Zisheng was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, with deep cultivation and exquisite martial arts. Previously, when sparring with Mo Hua, he would suppress his cultivation and purely compare body techniques or Dao law.

But now Mo Hua's divine sense was at Foundation Establishment, and with divine sense as the foundation, his Passing Water Step, Hidden Technique, and Fireball Technique were even more powerful. He could already spar with Bai Zisheng head-on without needing him to hold back anymore.

The two of them sparred mutually, coming and going, fighting back and forth.

When they were tired of playing, they would lie under the large locust tree to rest.

Mo Hua lay on the soft grass, sweating profusely, gasping for breath in large gulps.

His Dao law, relying on powerful divine sense, actually surpassed Bai Zisheng by a notch.

But the disadvantage was that his flesh and spirit root were too poor.

Often, after several rounds of entanglement, either his spiritual power was insufficient, or his hands and feet lacked strength, and he would be seized by Bai Zisheng's flaw and controlled up close.

Bai Zisheng also lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

He still thought that he could easily win against Mo Hua if he went all out.

It turned out it wasn't as simple as he thought.

Mo Hua's Passing Water Step was slippery, and he couldn't find a flaw at all; the power of the Fireball Technique was also very great, and he struck quickly and accurately, fundamentally not to be underestimated.

Moreover, Mo Hua still had his Hidden Technique not used. If he used a hidden attack, it would be even harder to deal with.

Bai Zisheng could only use the "shameless tactic," waiting for Mo Hua's spiritual power to be used up, waiting for his physical strength to not be able to support him, then he could find a sliver of an opportunity and subdue Mo Hua up close.

Although he could win, he indeed didn't win honorably.

It seemed like he also had to work harder and couldn't be surpassed by Mo Hua, otherwise he would never be his big brother in this life!

Bai Zisheng ignited his fighting spirit.

The two of them lay under the tree to rest, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, their thoughts empty.

Mo Hua suddenly thought of the matter of the丹炉 (Dan furnace) again.

In the past few days, the Dao Court and the Dao Soldier Department had thoroughly searched Black Mountain Stronghold, but any 丹炉 (Dan furnace) that was different in standard or unknown in function was destroyed.

Rather than killing wrong, they would not let go, and cut off the possibility of the Qian Family Old Ancestor refining evil丹 (Dan) from the root.

Zhang Lan also said to Mo Hua:

"On the surface, all suspicious丹炉 (Dan furnaces) have been destroyed. Even if the Qian Family Old Ancestor wants to refine, there is no丹炉 (Dan furnace) that can refine. "

"Moreover, the Transfer Life Transform Origin Dan needs to be nurtured for a hundred years and takes too long to refine. There can be no mistakes. Even a magic path sect that specializes in refining magic丹 (Dan) may not necessarily be able to refine it, let alone the Qian Family Old Ancestor. Perhaps we are just worrying without foundation, and it's not certain."

Mo Hua felt that Zhang Lan's words made sense and felt a lot more relieved.

However, there was still a vague doubt in his heart.

He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten.

It was like the big fog on Black Mountain, which could be seen but not touched, yet it indeed existed.

Mo Hua was lost in thought when he suddenly discovered that Bai Zixi was silently looking at him.

Mo Hua turned his head to look, and a pair of eyes as clear as water looked at him, and a pair of double-pupiled eyes that cut through water also looked back.

Both of them were slightly startled.

Snow-white locust flowers fell and danced between the two of them.

Time also seemed to solidify.

The two of them looked at each other, and after an unknown amount of time, they both silently shifted their gaze away.

For some reason, Mo Hua suddenly felt lost again in his heart. Memories kept surging, and Bai Zixi's words, that crisp and melodious voice, also emerged in his mind, sentence by sentence.

There were times she pointed out his arrays, times she told him secret techniques, and times she praised his mother's delicious pastries...

Thoughts floated and sank, and suddenly a sentence, suddenly emerged in Mo Hua's mind:

"Evil arrays and magic arrays generally use flesh and blood as the array medium, draw array patterns with evil thoughts, and reverse the Great Dao as the array hub..."

Roughly using flesh and blood as the array medium...

Using "flesh and blood" as the array medium...

Mo Hua was startled and suddenly stood up.

He knew why he always felt something was wrong.

He had indeed forgotten one thing.

He forgot... the fat and big pig in the blood-colored丹房 (Dan room)!

Evil arrays use flesh and blood as the array medium...

That pig with blood marks all over its body was the array medium of the evil array.

The blood marks on its body were not blood marks, but the array patterns of the evil array.

The evil array was engraved on the丹炉 (Dan furnace).

This meant that that pig was the true丹炉 (Dan furnace)!

Inside it, it was refining the... Transfer Life Transform Origin Dan that could help the Qian Family Old Ancestor break through his cultivation!
