Chapter 397: Inheritance

Sun Yi's heart filled with dread.

This young cultivator was a first-grade array master, someone their Sun family could not afford to offend.

Sun Ze, however, turned his gaze and said, "But, Father, we have already offended him..."

Sun Yi was startled.

Sun Ze continued, "Even if we let him go, he will still hold a grudge against us..."

Sun Yi's heart gradually grew cold again.

Right.

Their Sun family had already committed an offense against this young array master.

Things had reached this point; wishing for peace was probably impossible...

But did they truly want to make a move and finish the job completely?

Sun Yi didn't dare to completely commit again. After all, he didn't come from humble origins and lacked the ruthlessness and cold-heartedness required.

Mo Hua saw through the Sun family head's internal struggle. His heart moved slightly, and then he released his divine sense, probing him a little.

This time, the probing was open and aboveboard, without any concealment.

Sun Yi was still in a dilemma when he suddenly perceived something. His heart was shocked, and then he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

This divine sense?!

He abruptly looked towards Mo Hua, his voice trembling as he said, "It's... it's you..."

Mo Hua didn't answer, only looked at him silently.

Sun Yi's heart felt icy cold.

It was over.

They had encountered a young prodigy.

He initially thought that the Foundation Building stage divine sense actually came from this young array master in front of him?

Qi Refining realm, Foundation Building divine sense...

Their Sun family had not only offended a first-grade array master but also an array master with an extremely strong divine sense, who would reach who knows what grade in the future...

Sun Yi's face turned ashen, and he stammered, "I... my Sun family..."

Mo Hua said calmly, "I can overlook it."

Sun Yi suddenly trembled. "Is... is this true?"

"I won't deceive you."

Sun Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Good!"

The path of the heavens was constant.

Those who transcended the ordinary path of cultivation were either from extraordinary backgrounds, possessed exceptional talent, or had hearts and methods completely different from ordinary people.

Such cultivators could only be respected and kept at a distance.

Otherwise, the Sun family was truly afraid they would face great misfortune.

It was fortunate that this young mister said he didn't mind.

Whether he truly didn't mind or not, the Sun family had to seize this opportunity, send this god away, and prevent things from developing to an irreparable stage.

Furthermore, Sun Yi also remembered an even more terrifying matter.

Qi Refining seventh layer, Foundation Building divine sense, first-grade array master...

Such a character was still just a little junior brother.

He still had a senior sister, a senior brother, and a master who didn't show their abilities, as well as a coachman whose background was unclear, like a wooden figure.

What kind of identities, what kind of cultivators were they, and how large were their backgrounds?

Sun Yi's scalp tingled just thinking about it. He didn't even dare to think further.

Sun Yi immediately instructed loudly, "Make way!"

Sun Ze understood the situation and whispered, "Father, are you planning to pretend to let them go, and then take advantage when they're careless..."

Sun Ze made a throat-slitting gesture.

Sun Yi immediately grabbed Sun Ze's neck, preventing him from speaking. At this moment, he truly wished he could strangle this son to death.

Although Sun Ze spoke in a low voice, Mo Hua still heard him. He gave Sun Ze a meaningful look.

Sun Yi quickly apologized, "This young one is ignorant, speaks without thinking, and is not capable of taking on great responsibility. Please, young mister, be magnanimous."

Ignorant, speaks without thinking, not capable of taking on great responsibility...

This meant that Sun Ze had no future as the next head of the Sun family.

Mo Hua nodded.

Sun Yi let out a sigh of relief, then bowed low and said respectfully, "Respectfully seeing off the young mister. May the young mister have a smooth journey!"

The other Sun family cultivators looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened in the blink of an eye. But they followed their head's lead and all bowed their bodies, saying, "Respectfully seeing off the young mister!"

The Sun family cultivators made way and bowed.

The surrounding spirit farmers were also somewhat confused, but seeing the Sun family being so respectful to Mo Hua, they all felt relieved.

Ding Da Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Young mister, have a smooth journey!"

Mo Hua waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, take care!"

"Young mister, take care!"

"Have a smooth journey!"

"May good people be rewarded!"

The other spirit farmers also bid farewell, offering sincere blessings.

Just like this, Mo Hua, amidst the respectful send-off from the Sun family cultivators and the farewells of the spirit farmers, left Qian Jia Town and embarked on the road to the distant place.

It couldn't be considered a "shock," nor was there danger.

But with the matter settled, Mo Hua also let out a sigh of relief.

Sun Yi was somewhat foolish in array formations, but he was still considered sensible in handling matters. It was good that he was able to leave smoothly without using his hands, and the spirit farmers suffered no casualties.

The Thick Earth Array had already been drawn by Mo Hua. As long as the land was nourished by the Thick Earth Array, making the soil fertile, Qian Jia Town would no longer have to suffer from famine in the future.

As for future matters, they would have to rely on themselves.

Whether they could protect the spirit fields, whether they could protect the array, whether they could confront the Sun family, whether they could ensure that their descendants would all have enough to eat...

Mo Hua simply couldn't manage these things. He was just a passing young array master and could only help to this extent.

Bai Zi Sheng still felt a little regretful. "Didn't fight... I still wanted to fight a Foundation Building cultivator." He had been standing behind Mo Hua the whole time, just waiting for the Sun family to make a move so he could step forward, kill in all directions, and show off his senior brother demeanor in front of his little junior brother. It was a pity that the Sun family didn't give him this opportunity.

Bai Zi Xi didn't say anything. But Mo Hua also saw that she seemed to have taken out a golden sword and was standing silently behind him.

Mo Hua's heart warmed, and he silently remembered his little senior brother and little senior sister's good intentions. He would make some good food for them to eat when he had time.

The spirit farmers of Dong Shan Village had sent quite a few ingredients. Although not precious, they were all local specialties and perhaps couldn't be bought elsewhere.

Mo Hua turned his head and looked back at Qian Jia Town, suddenly feeling some emotion: "The Sun family's old ancestor was such a powerful person, it's a pity that his descendants didn't inherit either his array methods or his conduct."

Mister Zhuang, who had been closing his eyes and cultivating his spirit, slowly opened his eyes and sighed slightly, "The blessings of ancestors decline after three generations and are cut off after five generations."

Mo Hua asked doubtfully, "Master, must it be three generations?"

"It's just a general term, but mostly, it declines generation by generation."

Bai Zi Sheng quietly muttered, "Our Bai family has passed through many generations..."

The Bai family had passed through many generations, and it was still very prosperous now. It hadn't declined after three generations or been cut off after five generations. But he felt that his words contradicted his master, so he didn't dare to say them loudly.

Mister Zhuang chuckled gently, "The Bai family has passed through many generations without being cut off because your Bai family's first and second generation ancestors may not be dead yet..."

Bai Zi Xi was shocked when she heard this. Mo Hua and Bai Zi Sheng both opened their mouths wide. If the first and second generations weren't dead, how many years had they lived?

Bai Zi Sheng said incredulously, "The tomb has already been built, the person has already been buried, the memorial tablet has been set up, and incense has been offered. It's impossible that they're not dead..."

Mister Zhuang teased, "What, do you really want your Bai family's ancestors to be dead?"

Bai Zi Sheng immediately covered his mouth. This matter couldn't be spoken about carelessly. Saying other things casually was fine, but criticizing ancestors was a guaranteed way to get beaten and locked up.

But he was still very curious in his heart and secretly asked, "They really won't be dead, right..."

Mister Zhuang smiled profoundly and mysteriously, but did not answer.

Bai Zi Sheng's heart was filled with doubts.

Bai Zi Xi thought for a moment and also asked Mister Zhuang, "Master, some small families have passed through more than ten generations, not considered prosperous, but also not declined. Why is this?" Small families were unlike the Bai family; their ancestors had low cultivation and short lifespans. After more than ten generations, their ancestors must have all passed away, but they could still live peacefully and steadily, so they shouldn't be considered "three generations decline, five generations cut."

Mister Zhuang sighed, "Whether it declines after three generations or is cut off after five generations, the key is not how many generations have passed, but in the ancestors' teachings and family style..."

"If the ancestors had a broad and selfless mind, built merit and industry, and their descendants strictly guarded the ancestors' teachings and family style, they would naturally endure for a long time."

"Three generations and five generations are actually all like the first generation."

"If the descendants do not remember the ancestors' teachings, and the family style declines, only knowing how to rely on the ancestors' remaining shade, acting tyrannically, and seeking pleasure, then after three generations, the blessings will gradually decline, and after five generations, the blessings will be cut off."

"For example, this Sun family, their old ancestor had blessings for Qian Jia Town."

"But these descendants of his rely on these blessings to act tyrannically."

"On the surface, the Sun family is still prosperous and luxurious, but if they do not repent, the decline and fall of the family is just a matter of time."

Mister Zhuang seemed to think of something and said with some emotion, "For a family, thin family property, and lack of cultivators are not necessarily signs of falling into decline..."

"The decline of family style is the true beginning of decline."

Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi heard these words and became solemn, nodding involuntarily. They were from prominent families and had seen more large and small families, with a more profound understanding.

Mo Hua, being of scattered cultivation origin, didn't understand perfectly, but also nodded along.

The carriage leisurely moved forward, gradually driving away from Qian Jia Town. Mo Hua turned his head again to look at the spirit fields.

The spirit fields were rich and full of vitality. The Thick Earth Array was quietly operating, gently nourishing this piece of land.

He just didn't know how long this array could operate in the future, and how long the spirit fields could remain fertile.

Bai Zi Xi followed Mo Hua's gaze, also slightly frowning. "The Sun family still won't let go easily."

Such fertile spirit fields were like a piece of fat meat next to a wolf's mouth. Even if the Sun family's conscience was discovered, it wouldn't last long. Eventually, they would be unable to resist their greed. The Sun family might fear him as a first-grade array master, but they wouldn't fear these ordinary spirit farmers. At that time, this array might still fall into the Sun family's hands.

Mo Hua, however, looked at his little senior sister and laughed, "Don't worry."

Bai Zi Xi was somewhat doubtful.

Mo Hua laughed again and didn't speak.

At this time, in Dong Shan Village, Ding Da Chuan found the elder and explained the entire process of the matter.

The elder felt relieved and sighed, "It's good that they were able to leave safely. We really have to thank this young mister."

Ding Da Chuan also nodded. After he turned around, he suddenly noticed Ding Miao Er drawing something on the ground. He was involuntarily startled and asked, "Miao Er, what are you drawing?"

"Array method!" Miao Er said in a childish voice.

Ding Da Chuan was shocked. "Where did you get the array method?"

Miao Er took out a book from a place close to her body. "This was given to me by Brother, who told me to follow along and draw, and then teach others after I drew it well."

The elder's heart trembled. "Which brother?"

Miao Er pointed to the spirit fields, indicating the brother who drew the array in the spirit fields.

"Can... can you let me see it?" The elder's voice trembled slightly.

Miao Er thought for a moment and nodded. Brother said it could be shown to their own people, and the elder was not an outsider.

The elder trembled as he took the array book. The array book was compiled in a popular and easy-to-understand way. Although he didn't understand array methods, he could understand the general idea. This was an earth system array book, which recorded various earth system array methods used in spirit fields. These array methods ranged from shallow to deep. From simple array patterns that didn't require too much divine sense, to the six-pattern Nurture Soil Array, and finally the first-grade eleven-pattern Thick Earth Absolute Array, all were recorded with detailed notes. What realm could learn what array method, step by step, gradually becoming profound. From enlightenment to mastery.

This was a complete array method inheritance book, and it was related to spirit farmers. With this array book, in the future, even without relying on the Sun family, these spirit farmers could draw array methods for themselves.

The elder suddenly understood Mo Hua's sentence: people can only rely on themselves. For a time, the elder's heart surged, and his turbid eyes filled with tears. He was extremely shocked and grateful in his heart. Although his movements were inconvenient, he still maintained a solemn expression and bowed remotely towards the distant mountain.

Clouds and mist lingered in the distant mountains. Mo Hua's carriage gradually drove away, disappearing into the overlapping peaks.

Thank you to book friends Huo Di Yan and Jian Hun platform for their rewards.
