Chapter 338: Law

Mo Hua's heart was shocked, then he slowly furrowed his brow:

"If we follow this rule, does that not mean that within a realm, cultivators fundamentally cannot oppose a great demon?"

High-level cultivators cannot intervene, and low-level cultivators have no power to contend.

To deal with strong cultivators like the Qian family's old ancestor, they can still rely on many people, with cultivators uniting their hearts and forces to subdue him.

But facing a great demon like Feng Xi, many people are also useless. After consuming blood energy, it eats people and replenishes itself.

The more people there are, the stronger the great demon might become.

Zhang Lan let out a long sigh and said:

"'Within one realm, a great demon is invincible' is basically the consensus of the cultivation world. Otherwise, the Dao Court would not have proposed moving the city. This is truly a helpless measure."

"But great demons also always die, right?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan nodded, "That's natural. All things in the world have birth and death. No matter how strong a great demon is, it's just a demon, not immortal, so it will naturally die."

"Generally, how do great demons die?" Mo Hua asked again.

Zhang Lan thought for a bit and answered:

"Some eat up all the cultivators in a realm and then starve to death, some live for several thousand years and die of old age, some muddleheadedly break through realms and then get wiped out by the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and some are jointly suppressed and killed by families and sects..."

"Jointly suppressed and killed?" Mo Hua's expression changed.

"Don't think about that," Zhang Lan guessed Mo Hua's inner thoughts and dispelled them:

"The families and sects that can suppress and kill great demons have all been inherited for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, with deep foundations. Their sect disciples are strong in cultivation, and they have protective sect great arrays as a reliance. Only then can they suppress and kill a great demon... Even so, they will also suffer great vitality loss and pay an extremely painful price."

"If a great demon doesn't appear in their own sect or in their faction's territory, directly threatening the foundation of their Dao lineage, they have no choice. Otherwise, they wouldn't force themselves to go exterminate a great demon."

"Tongxian City, this place, fundamentally has no force with this kind of foundation."

"Moreover, this kind of matter is itself extremely difficult. Even in the classics of aristocratic families and sects, similar records are very few."

Mo Hua was somewhat disappointed.

Indeed, methods that can be thought of, others have already thought of. Methods that can be used, others have already used.

The Dao Court has developed for more than twenty thousand years, with numerous geniuses. Other cultivators are not fools either. It's impossible for you to think of something that others haven't.

But Mo Hua's doubts not only did not decrease, but instead increased.

"Then why are state realms graded? If there were no grades, wouldn't high-level cultivators be able to suppress and kill great demons?"

"What is this grading determined by?"

"Why is our place definitely a second-grade state realm?"

"Heavenly Dao rules wipe out, what specific Heavenly Dao, what rules, and how is it wiped out?"

Mo Hua was eloquent, asking a series of questions like a string of firecrackers.

Zhang Lan heard until his scalp was numb.

So, being too smart is not a good thing.

When people are smart, they have many questions. When they have many questions, they cause headaches.

Zhang Lan couldn't answer questions involving the Dao Court's overall planning, the division of the Nine Provinces, and the pattern of heaven and earth. He also couldn't casually say hearsay nonsense.

One reason is that it would mislead disciples and cause errors in Mo Hua's understanding of the cultivation path.

Another reason is that Mo Hua is no longer considered a novice in cultivation. Even in array methods, he knows more than him. If he speaks nonsense, it will be very easy for Mo Hua to find flaws.

To know what you know, and to know what you do not know, that is knowledge.

Losing a little face is just losing it.

Zhang Lan had to truthfully say: "I don't know these either..."

"Alright." Mo Hua was a little regretful.

Although Zhang Lan is from an aristocratic family, he is still in the Qi Refining stage, so it is reasonable that he doesn't know.

But Mo Hua was still somewhat unwilling: "Is there really no way about this great demon matter?"

Zhang Lan patted his shoulder: "In front of the Heavenly Dao, cultivators are actually very small. Cultivators seek the Dao their whole lives, but often the more they seek, the more they realize the profundity and unfathomability of the Dao, which is not something human power can see clearly. The anomalies and disasters of the Dao are also not something human power can contend with."

In other words, there's just no way.

Mo Hua said in a low voice: "Then we can only move the city?"

Zhang Lan sighed: "In a few more days, the Dao Court's departments will discuss it a bit more. If there's really no way, then we can only go to the barbarian wilderness in the south."

But in reality, there's nothing good to discuss. It's just that until the very end, everyone cannot make this decision.

After all, once the city moves, they will leave their hometown, wander as displaced people, and the future road is uncertain.

Mo Hua felt unwilling in his heart, and at the same time, he was also puzzled.

He wanted to make this matter clear.

The next day, he went to visit Mister Zhuang.

"Mister, why are there great demons, and why are state realms graded?"

Mister Zhuang silently looked at Mo Hua for a moment, "You want to know this?"

Mo Hua nodded.

Mister Zhuang was silent for a long time, then only said: "Within these great Dao causes and effects, I can tell you, but you must remember, do not tell others, otherwise you will invite disaster upon yourself."

Mo Hua's expression was stern, and he nodded.

Mister Zhuang sighed slightly and opened his mouth to say: "All things in the world originate from the Dao."

"The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Great demons are also born of the Dao, and grades are also things derived from the Dao."

"Violate the Heavenly Dao, give birth to disasters, then there are great demons;"

"Heavenly Dao restrains, Nine Provinces divide, then there are grades."

Mister Zhuang said concisely and comprehensively.

Mo Hua frowned, carefully pondering it.

Mister Zhuang then further explained to him: "So-called great demons are a type of Dao disaster. Cultivators go against heaven, contrary to Heavenly principles, and then disasters will be bred."

"Disasters that violate the Heavenly Dao are collectively called Dao calamities."

"And great demons are just one type of Dao calamity."

"'Dao calamities' is a term used internally by the Dao Court's Qintian Jian. It will not be mentioned externally. Because the Dao Court claims to follow heaven and bear the Dao, if heaven has Dao calamities, it proves that the Dao Court has sinned and has violated the Heavenly Dao."

Mister Zhuang's expression was serious, and he looked at Mo Hua and said: "So these words, from my mouth to your ear, cannot be known to outsiders. Especially the word 'Dao calamities'."

Mo Hua's expression was stern, and he solemnly nodded.

Then Mo Hua thought for a bit and slowly said: "So that pig became a great demon because the Qian family's old ancestor did and thought things that injured heaven and harmed reason, contrary to the Heavenly Dao. Only then were Dao calamities bred in the pig demon's body?"

After all, he killed two to three hundred years worth of people, refined two hundred years worth of human life pills, and raised one hundred years worth of Transfer Life Transform Essence pills. He committed who knows how many killing karmas.

Mister Zhuang slightly nodded, "Simply speaking, it is like this. But within this, there are actually others who have meddled. It is good that you do not know now."

"Is it a strange Daoist?"

Mister Zhuang was startled, his gaze gradually sharp, "Who did you hear that from?"

"The Qian family's old ancestor and a young alchemist from the alchemy hall. They both mentioned a Daoist."

Mo Hua truthfully said, "The evil arts and the pill formulas for Transfer Life Transform Essence were all given by a Daoist. But I don't know if the Daoist they mentioned is the same person."

Mister Zhuang pressed Mo Hua's shoulder, his expression severe, and said: "Do not mention it, and do not think about it more. Forget that Daoist."

Mo Hua wanted to ask why, but seeing Mister Zhuang's never-before-seen solemn expression, he nodded and promised: "Okay! Mister."

Mister Zhuang slightly relaxed his breath.

Mo Hua had never seen anyone who could make Mister Zhuang so fearful.

But since Mister Zhuang didn't let him mention it, he didn't think about it. He turned to ask other questions: "Mister, how is that state realm grading then?"

"What do you want to know?" Mister Zhuang looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua organized his thoughts a bit and continued: "Why does the Dao Court want to grade state realms?"

"If there were no grades, there would be no cultivation limit. The Dao Court could dispatch high-level cultivators to suppress and kill great demons, and it wouldn't lead to the suffering of living beings within the state realms."

"What is the basis for the Dao Court's grading?" Mister Zhuang counter-asked.

Mo Hua thought for a bit and said: "The Heavenly Dao laws' wiping out?"

Because if there were no forceful wiping out by the Heavenly Dao laws, then even if cultivators didn't act according to the state realm grades, there would be no impact.

So-called state realm grades would just be an empty shell.

"What are the Heavenly Dao laws, then?" Mister Zhuang asked.

Mo Hua was startled and muttered in a low voice: "How would I know this..."

Mister Zhuang slightly shook his head, "You know."

Mo Hua's expression was astonished, "I know?"

When did I know? Why don't I know myself...

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a while, suddenly his heart jumped, and he said in surprise: "Could it be... array methods?!"

Mister Zhuang nodded, "Correct."

"But... where are the array methods?"

Mo Hua guessed, but still didn't understand.

Mister Zhuang pointed to the sky. Mo Hua involuntarily looked up, only to see the vast, boundless sky, with surging clouds, profound and infinite.

"This sky is an array method!" Mister Zhuang said deeply.

Mo Hua's heart and spirit were both shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "This is... an array method?"

"Correct." Mister Zhuang nodded, his gaze profound, and said, "And not an ordinary array method. This is a great array, the most powerful great array known in this world!"

"Most powerful great array..." Mo Hua was lost in thought, murmuring, "Then that is not..."

Mister Zhuang nodded, "Innate great array, also known in legends as an immortal-grade array method!"

Mo Hua's heart was shocked beyond measure, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

Looking up three feet, there is a blue sky. Originally, this sky was the most powerful array method in the world.

Originally, the most powerful array method in this world was always suspended above the blue sky, covering every inch of land in the cultivation world, shielding every cultivator.

What kind of heaven-reaching craftsmanship is this exactly...

Mo Hua looked up at the sky, deeply feeling his own insignificance and the infinitude of the array Dao.
