Chapter 509: Escape

Thirteen mark peak divine sense!Sufficient to crush most Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators.At the divine sense level, he can be evenly matched with the top cultivators among those at the Foundation Establishment early stage cultivation level.Compared to before, Mò Huā’s divine sense is more profound, and his control over his divine sense is also more sensitive.Mò Huā’s eyes are deep. He releases his divine sense, and the virtual white divine sense vision constantly extends...The perception range is broader, and he perceives more things.Every piece of wood, every stone, every flower, every blade of grass, living cultivators, dead walking corpses, iron corpses – through their external forms, he can glimpse their essence.The trajectories of the inherent spiritual energy, corpse energy, and various natural energies of all things in heaven and earth are also a bit clearer.What the naked eye sees is the surface appearance.Within the divine sense vision, one can only see the inherent breath and essence of all things.Every bit stronger the divine sense is, the more profound the essence seen becomes...Besides, Mò Huā’s understanding of the **Líng Shū Zhèn** (Spirit Hub Array) is also more thorough.In his sea of consciousness, borrowing the zombie divine sense of the Zhāng family clan, Mò Huā practiced the **Líng Shū Zhèn** hundreds and thousands of times on the Dao Stele...The originally complex array patterns are already familiar to his heart.With closed eyes, all he sees is the appearance of the **Líng Shū Zhèn**.Controlling the **Líng Shū Zhèn**, differentiating spiritual power, forming spiritual threads, and controlling mediums are more at ease.Furthermore, other means have naturally also progressed.All of Mò Huā’s skills, whether array or spell, are closely related to divine sense.Now that his divine sense has been enhanced, his array skills naturally advance further.Various spells, whether **Guò Shuǐ Bù** (Passing Water Step), **Huǒ Qiú Shù** (Fireball Technique), **Shuǐ Láo Shù** (Water Prison Technique), or **Yǐn Nì Shù** (Concealment Technique), their effects will all be a notch better.Only, he is trapped in a coffin and temporarily cannot go out, so he has no opportunity to try.Mò Huā is extremely happy, and involuntarily narrows his eyes and laughs.Laughing and laughing, Mò Huā can no longer laugh.He discovered a very embarrassing matter.His divine sense is now very strong, extremely strong, comparable to the peak of the Foundation Establishment early stage.But his physical body is still very weak, and his cultivation has not increased.Refining Qi eighth layer, weak physical body.He cannot get out of this small coffin...This small coffin is neither stone nor iron, its material is tough, and someone from outside has sealed it dead with coffin nails, so he cannot get out...Using spells to forcibly break it will injure himself.Mò Huā sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.This problem needs attention.Although his innate body is weak and cannot refine his body, he must still find ways to supplement some body refining methods...However, this problem has to wait until later to consider.The current urgent matter is to first think of ways to get out.Mò Huā again releases his divine sense, observing the movements outside, suddenly feeling somewhat strange.Within the corpse mine, it seems to be under martial law, and somewhat chaotic.And the distant dense, numerous, messy, and disordered breaths are mixed together, entangled with each other, conflicting, and dim.It’s as if quite a few cultivators are in a melee..."What exactly happened outside?"Mò Huā is doubtful.Someone attacked inside the corpse mine.Who could it be?In **Nán Yuè Chéng** (South Yue City), there should be no forces capable of contending with so many iron corpses and walking corpses within the corpse mine...Mò Huā frowned slightly.As a melee erupts, the stone hall becomes even more dangerous.He needs to think of ways to get out early...And **Lù Chéngyún** has not come over yet. He doesn’t know if he is delayed by the war and temporarily hasn't thought of him.In case he has free time, thinks of himself, and comes to check, that would not be good.Hiding in the coffin, although it might be possible to deceive him, given **Lù Chéngyún**’s cautious nature, the probability is not high, so it is better not to take this risk.Mò Huā then begins to ponder how to get out.But he thought for a long time, and there was no good method.The little zombie is in the **Wàn Shī Zhèn** (Ten Thousand Corpses Array), too far away. He cannot control it to come and help him open the coffin.He also didn't leave the little tiger outside.Mò Huā sighed again.His preparations in advance are still not sufficient, and somewhat not thorough.It seems he can only wait patiently and see if there is an opportunity.So for several days, Mò Huā often releases his divine sense to perceive the movements outside and seek an opportunity to escape.And the melee outside the stone hall is still continuing, and there is always no opportunity...Until three days later, Mò Huā suddenly perceived two familiar breaths obscurely wandering around.They seem to be hiding their bodies, avoiding others in the melee, quietly searching for something in the stone hall...Mò Huā’s eyes light up.It’s little senior brother and little senior sister!Are they looking for him?Mò Huā extremely releases his divine sense, perceiving these two figures. At the same time, he vaguely hears them speaking in low voices:"...searched for so many days... no sign of a person...""Where do you say... little junior brother is?"The voice is intermittent, accompanied by Bái Zǐshēng’s sigh."Let's search again..."This voice is clear, cold, and pleasant – it is little senior sister’s.Bái Zǐshēng is dejected, "Zǐ Xī, junior brother, won't he have had some accident..."Bái Zǐ Xī is silent.Mò Huā’s heart feels slightly warm.It seems that during these days shut in the coffin, little senior brother and little senior sister were worried about him and always looking for him.Mò Huā releases his divine sense, openly spying on the two people.Bái Zǐshēng and the other person somewhat detect it, and their hearts are both alert.Been discovered?Subsequently, the two people are again happy.This breath is little junior brother!Bái Zǐshēng’s face just shows joy, then suddenly frowns and says:"Not right, junior brother’s divine sense is not that profound...""The breath seems correct.""Also, this breath, it shouldn't be fake...""Is it him? Has he 'eaten' something again...""No way, where can he 'eat' everyday? Is he really not afraid of 'eating' his little head bad?""...His little head was already bad bad...""Let's go see...""Mm."Mò Huā’s divine sense continues.Bái Zǐshēng and the other person also perceive Mò Huā’s divine sense. Wearing concealment cloaks and hiding their bodies, they find a secret room in the chaotic stone hall.The secret room is narrow but exquisite. Above it is a strange altar.On the altar, white bones are offered, white candles are burning, corpse oil is flowing, and a gloomy candlelight shines.Below the altar is a white coffin.Mò Huā’s divine sense is transmitted from the coffin.Bái Zǐshēng sees the white coffin, his expression startled, then he looks pained and says sadly:"Little junior brother, he’s dead!"Bái Zǐ Xī gives him a white look, "Where does a dead person get divine sense?"Bái Zǐshēng is stunned, his pained expression disappears. He involuntarily scratches his head and says embarrassedly:"Oh, that's right..."Bái Zǐ Xī’s voice is clear and crisp, "Open the coffin."Bái Zǐshēng nods, examines the coffin for a moment, understands the structure, then uses strong force to pull out the coffin nails at the four corners, then twists and breaks the inlay mouth of the coffin lid, and slowly lifts open the coffin lid.Within the coffin, there indeed lies a familiar figure.It is precisely their junior brother, Mò Huā!Mò Huā’s face is somewhat pale, his gaze is deeper, and vaguely contains light, both familiar and somewhat strange.Bái Zǐshēng first shows joy, then his expression becomes stern:"How do you prove you are my junior brother?"Mò Huā gives him a white look, "Idiot!"Bái Zǐshēng breathes a sigh of relief and puts down his heart.This demeanor, and this familiar tone, are indeed his little junior brother...Bái Zǐ Xī says lightly: "Nothing ba..."Her expression is calm, yet her gaze is like the autumn sun shining on a stream, warm and bright.Mò Huā is slightly distracted, then smiles brightly and says:"No problem."Bái Zǐ Xī blinks and nods.Bái Zǐshēng then asks curiously: "How did you get shut in here?""Lù Chéngyún wanted to kill the donkey after it was done grinding and pit me to death," Mò Huā says.Bái Zǐshēng is greatly angered, "How unreasonable, bullying my junior brother is bullying me, wanting to kill my junior brother is wanting to kill me!"He pats his chest and says to Mò Huā:"Rest assured, I will kill him for you!""He is Foundation Establishment...""Kill Foundation Establishment too!""Alright ba..."Mò Huā doesn't know if he's bragging, but he is still quite grateful in his heart."However, how did he kill the donkey after it was done grinding?" Bái Zǐshēng asks curiously again."He just took me as a sacrifice and used my divine sense to feed that visualization map," Mò Huā briefly explains."What about that map?""Been 'eaten' by me...""How did you 'eat' again..."Bái Zǐshēng is somewhat speechless, then mutters: "Exactly who is the map's sacrifice, or is the map your sacrifice...""So, your divine sense has become strong again?" Bái Zǐshēng says."Mm," Mò Huā nods, saying modestly:"A little bit strong, thirteen mark..."Even Bái Zǐ Xī is startled upon hearing this.Bái Zǐshēng opens his mouth wider and says helplessly:"If this continues, you will really become a little monster..."Refining Qi eighth layer, Foundation Establishment thirteen mark divine sense...Even in the records of the Bái family's past ancestors, he has not seen such records.Bái Zǐ Xī’s eyes flash slightly, and she admonishes: "Don't say it out..."Bái Zǐshēng also reacts and nods:"Right, you absolutely don't say it out, otherwise there will be plenty of people who want to split open your head to see what's inside... Human hearts are very malicious."Mò Huā is shocked and repeatedly nods, "Mm mm!"Bái Zǐshēng still wants to say something, but Bái Zi Xi then says: "Let's leave here first."Within the corpse mine is not a place to stay long.She and her elder brother came here just to find Mò Huā. Since they found Mò Huā, they naturally want to leave as soon as possible."Good!"Within the corpse mine, cultivators and zombies are in a melee.Swords and knives are flying, spells are dense, and corpse poison is everywhere... Even Foundation Establishment cultivators are fighting with iron corpses.If affected, it is still very dangerous.The three people then conceal themselves together and leave the secret room.Before leaving, Mò Huā thought for a bit and set up an Earth Fire Array around the secret room to destroy the secret room, the entire altar, and the coffin, all blown to pieces.Although he is not dead, he still needs to destroy the corpse and wipe the traces.Or rather, precisely because he is not dead, to prevent contingencies, he needs to "destroy the corpse and wipe the traces".At the same time, that blank visualization map is also taken away by Mò Huā.The Zhāng family ancestors within the visualization map have all been "eaten" clean by Mò Huā.Now this map is blank.But Mò Huā feels this map is extremely strange, as it can actually accommodate the evil thoughts and manifest corpse bodies of the Zhāng family clan members of past generations after death, parasitizing in the map.This is obviously not something ordinary Dao objects can do.Mò Huā then collects that blank visualization map.Later, he will research it himself or go ask his teacher.The Dao Court side is still attacking the stone hall. Dao soldiers lead the charge, and other cultivators provide cover.The corpse soldiers have methods of restraint, reducing their threat.Lù Chéngyún then uses the **Wàn Shī Zhèn** to raise corpses and refine corpses, constantly supplementing corpse sources and wearing down the Dao soldiers.Both sides are somewhat in a stalemate. Within the stone hall, the battle situation is chaotic.Foundation Establishment cultivators, Refining Qi Dao soldiers, iron corpses, walking corpses, fighting together...This situation is not something that Mò Huā, two other Refining Qi cultivators can solve for the time being.The current urgent matter is naturally to escape from the corpse mine first, and then plan for the long term.The three people conceal themselves, detour from the edge of the battlefield, and retreat towards the outside of the corpse mine.Although they are very careful, the corpse mine is too chaotic, there are many cultivators, and even more zombies. If they are not careful, they are still exposed and discovered by corpse cultivators.Several corpse cultivators, controlling an iron corpse and dozens of walking corpses, surround them and attack.Bái Zǐshēng guards the rear, waving his long spear, blocking the zombies.Mò Huā and Bái Zi Xi restrain with spells and sword qi respectively. The three people do not linger in battle, fighting while retreating.Later, other cultivators also respond, and they fight in melee for an hour, then escape from the corpse mine and retreat to a stationed mountain cave outside.Within the mountain cave, Yáng Jiā Shān (Yang Family Mountain), Young Master Yún, an emaciated old man, a middle-aged cultivator, and other cultivators are all inside, discussing the matter of exterminating the corpse mine.On the way here, Mò Huā also asked clearly.He knew that it was the Dao Court’s order to suppress the corpse mine and exterminate the corpse king, which is why so many cultivators were gathered.So he is not surprised to see so many people.A Dao soldier brings Mò Huā and the other two before Yáng Jīshān.Yáng Jīshān sees Mò Huā, knows Mò Huā’s identity, and is obviously very surprised.He heard Bái Zǐshēng say that he is his "little junior brother", inquired about the news of the corpse mine, and passed it out.Since he is a little junior brother, he is naturally not old.But he never thought that he would be so young.Mò Huā’s face is fair and tender, still with a few points of childishness.He looks not much older than the enlightenment disciples who have just entered school in his family.Can such a child be used by Lù Chéngyún? Can he be shut into the corpse mine by him?Can he still seize the opportunity to inquire out intelligence and send out intelligence from the heavily guarded corpse mine?How is it done?Yáng Jīshān’s brows wrinkle into a "river" character.Other cultivators, seeing Mò Huā, also have complex expressions and don't know what to say.Within the mountain cave, it is somewhat quiet for a while...Mò Huā, however, looks at Yáng Jīshān, looking left and right, somewhat familiar, and involuntarily asks:"Commander, do you recognize an uncle named Yáng Jìyǒng?"Yáng Jīshān is stunned, "You know my fifth brother?"Mò Huā nods, "We have a little friendship. Uncle Yáng also told me to visit the Yáng family when I have free time..."Yáng Jīshān frowns, mutters "Mò Huā" twice, suddenly realizes, his eyes light up, and says:"Mò Huā! I just felt that this name was very familiar. At the beginning of the year, my fifth brother mentioned to me that he met a very talented little array master..."Very talented...Yáng Jīshān thinks for a bit again.At that time, his fifth brother didn't seem to say much.At that time, he had a serious face, as if it were true, saying that he met a little array master with "terrifying talent"...When asked how terrifying, he also didn't say, only saying that he wanted to keep it a secret.Yáng Jīshān didn't take it to heart either.Yáng Jìyǒng and he are half a catty and eight taels in arrays, what can he distinguish good or bad? So at that time, he just casually listened to Yáng Jìyǒng’s words and didn't pay attention.When he arrived at **Nán Yuè Chéng**, he heard Mò Huā’s name and felt somewhat familiar.Now that he hears Mò Huā mention Yáng Jìyǒng, he remembers.Yáng Jīshān’s attitude immediately becomes mild.He cannot tell whether array talent is good or bad, but he remembers his fifth brother also said that he met this little array master and wanted to thank him, wanted to entertain him well, and it would be best if he could pull him to the Yáng family.His fifth brother, although somewhat smelly-tempered and somewhat proud, has a generous character and is loyal. There are not many people whom he can truly look up to.This little cultivator can be recommended by his fifth brother. Putting other things aside, at least his character is absolutely not bad.Moreover, he is young and an array master.Even if his talent is not "terrifying", it is also quite good.He also risked danger alone, inquired out the intelligence of the corpse mine, which is even more helpful.Yáng Jīshān immediately says cordially:"Let little brother suffer fright. I'll have people prepare some wine and water, and spiritual meat. Eat and drink your fill and rest well."Mò Huā smiles and says: "Thank you, Commander!"Yáng Jīshān waves his hand, "No need to be so polite. You are familiar with my fifth brother, just call me uncle."Mò Huā follows the flow and calls out clearly:"Uncle Yáng!"Yáng Jīshān smiles and nods.Everyone is somewhat dazed.How did they climb relations in just a few sentences...He came in as "Commander Yáng", and in less than a cup of tea time, he became "Uncle Yáng"...The originally square-faced and serious-looking Yáng Jīshān now has a face like he is bathing in a spring breeze.It looks so discordant, so discordant.What kind of person is this little cultivator exactly?The crowd whispers.Yáng Jīshān then says to Mò Huā: "You follow your senior brother and senior sister and go down to rest first. We still have matters to discuss here..."Mò Huā nods and says: "Okay, then I won't disturb Uncle Yáng."Yáng Jīshān nods slightly.Mò Huā performs a salute, then takes his leave.Yáng Jīshān looks kindly at Mò Huā leaving, then turns his head, his expression solemn, and says to the crowd:"Let's continue..."A Dao soldier who is a vice commander continues his previous words, saying:"...The zombies are increasing, and we are short of manpower. This wanes and that waxes... We cannot withstand the consumption. We need to think of ways to crack the **Wàn Shī Zhèn**...""**Wàn Shī Zhèn**?"Mò Huā, who has just walked to the door, pricks up his ears and hears these three words, involuntarily startled.That vice commander has already lowered his voice, but the helpless thirteen mark peak divine sense of Mò Huā is too strong. His voice is not loud, but Mò Huā still hears it.Mò Huā hesitates for a moment, then turns his head and asks:"Uncle Yáng, are you all discussing the matter of the **Wàn Shī Zhèn**?"Yáng Jīshān’s expression is startled, and he involuntarily asks:"Little brother, you know '**Wàn Shī Zhèn**'?"Mò Huā nods.Yáng Jīshān is stunned, then he thinks that the intelligence was sent out by Mò Huā, so it is not strange that he knows the **Wàn Shī Zhèn**."Then, this **Wàn Shī Zhèn**... Are you familiar with it?"Yáng Jīshān’s eyes light up slightly, holding a slim chance of hope, and asks somewhat expectantly.Mò Huā hesitates somewhat, and says slowly:"Still considered... familiar ba."How can he say it...He can't exactly say that the central array eye of this **Wàn Shī Zhèn** was drawn by him...Thanks to Time Thief, flinng, ChanSO, One Leaf Boat On Rabbit for the rewards.(End of this chapter)
