Chapter 557: Understood

Latest website: www.mhtxs.ccIn the demon hall, ten thousand demons were silent.Mò Huà was shocked.This was his "Martial Uncle"...So powerful...He actually really slaughtered all the demon cultivators in the hall!He sealed the demon hall with a strange Dao sealing heaven array, planted demons in Dao hearts to slaughter Golden Core cultivators, then manipulated the Golden Core cultivators to besiege the Integration Stage cultivators, forcing them to die under heavenly tribulation!This series of changes, with wave after wave, was too much to take in.It left a deep impression on Mò Huà."This is 'Strange' Daoist...""Meticulous and strange, not a single wasted word; trap when necessary, kill when necessary!""All heavens are Dao.""Even heavenly tribulation is a killing weapon!"All this broadened Mò Huà's horizons and benefited him greatly.For the first time, he knew that things could be done like this, and people could be killed like this...And what surprised him even more was the strange Dao sealing heaven array.This array was completely different from any array he had learned before.It didn't belong to the Five Elements array system, nor was it in the Two Instruments, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, or other array systems.Some basic array elements, such as array mediums, array patterns, array pivots, and array eyes, were also very obscure and difficult to understand.What was the array medium? Was it the demon hall itself?But it seemed to be more than just that...Besides, Mò Huà could see the array patterns, but he couldn't understand them.These array patterns were constantly being born and transformed, constantly deriving, and the array principles contained within were extremely complex.There wasn't even an array pivot, and Mò Huà couldn't see through the array eye either.Mò Huà had previously calculated that this strange Dao sealing heaven array was based on a special "derived calculation" method of arrays.But now that he thought about it again, it seemed somewhat wrong.Derived calculation is about understanding, analyzing, comprehending, and penetrating array laws.However, this current array seemed more like it relied on "derived calculation" to be built...This derived calculation seemed to be helping the array patterns divide and evolve, self-derive, endlessly, which was extremely special and somewhat strange.Mò Huà frowned.The derived calculation method taught by his master was called divine sense derived calculation.But this was the most basic.Through Mò Huà's observation, he discovered that this derived calculation method, when learned in depth, could, like his master, derive heavenly secrets and deduce cause and effect.So, calling this derived calculation "heavenly secrets derived calculation" would be more appropriate.It was just that his current level was limited, so he couldn't derive heavenly secrets.Furthermore, by coincidence, Mò Huà also learned another type of divine sense algorithm.It was the derived calculation method for summarizing array patterns in the Five Elements Sect.Mò Huà didn't know the name of the Five Elements Sect's derived calculation method, but if he were to name it himself, "Return Source" algorithm would be more appropriate.It summarized array patterns and unified rules and sources.It was a type of divine sense algorithm for summarizing source patterns.Then, what should his Martial Uncle's "derived calculation" be called?What was different about this derived calculation? What was its essence? What was its principle?Mò Huà raised his small head, his eyes bright, staring at the strange Dao sealing heaven array above, lost in thought.All the changes in the array patterns were being derived one by one in Mò Huà's sea of consciousness.The array patterns were being broken by the demon cultivators, but they repaired themselves;The array patterns were being erased by the tribulation thunder, but they derived themselves again;The strange Dao sealing heaven array, with its single path and single pattern, was like the blooming of Yama flowers, one after another, gloomy and magnificent, strange and profound...He didn't know how long he had been looking, when Mò Huà suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pupils reflecting the myriad changes of the array patterns, and his heart was suddenly enlightened."I understand!""It's planting demons in Dao hearts!"This strange Dao sealing heaven array and planting demons in Dao hearts were the same.Planting demons in Dao hearts involves planting demon seeds, and the demon thoughts will self-spread and parasitize.The strange Dao sealing heaven involves setting up array patterns, and the array patterns will also be born and multiply.The so-called strange Dao sealing heaven array, in essence, was a large-scale, array-style "planting demons in Dao hearts."In the array pivot of the array, demon seeds were planted, and with the demon seeds, array patterns were derived, thus making the entire array's strange patterns mutually born, circulating endlessly, and difficult to break."In the array, planting demons in Dao hearts..."Mò Huà thought for a moment, then frowned again."Still not right..."The scenes in the demon hall just now replayed in Mò Huà's mind again and again.Strange Daoist fully exerted the power of planting demons in Dao hearts, polluting all the Golden Core demon cultivators, making them insane, and thus completely dominating them...This entire process included...Dividing the demon seed...Parasitizing the Dao heart...And... demon seeds deriving, polluting, and dominating...Mò Huà was startled and suddenly realized.He had said it in reverse!It wasn't planting demons in Dao hearts within the strange Dao sealing heaven array.But the method used in planting demons in Dao hearts was the divine sense derived calculation at the core of the "strange Dao sealing heaven array"!The two shared the same origin, both based on this special, strange divine sense derived calculation.Both were a kind of peak art of using divine thoughts, refined to the extreme!Mò Huà also thought of the Holy Son who saw Strange Daoist exert the power of planting demons in Dao hearts, and had a look of disbelief on his face.Strange Daoist's planting demons in Dao hearts was fundamentally not the planting demons in Dao hearts he recognized!This method of planting demons in Dao hearts was completely different from general methods of planting demons.Because this method of planting demons in Dao hearts of his Martial Uncle relied on that strange, special divine sense algorithm.Conversely, his Martial Uncle's "planting demons in Dao hearts"...Contained the supreme divine thought derived calculation method!The more Mò Huà thought about it, the more shocked he became.The more he thought about it, the clearer it became.His gaze also became brighter and brighter, like the stars in the sky, shining brightly and dazzlingly.Mò Huà was still raising his head, staring at the strange Dao sealing heaven array above, but as he watched, he felt something was wrong. Next to him, without knowing when, an extra breath had appeared.Mò Huà lowered his head and discovered that his Martial Uncle was standing beside him.He was raising his head, staring at the array, and his Martial Uncle was also silently staring at him.At this time, Strange Daoist had already parasitized in Xuán Sǎnrén's body through planting demons in Dao hearts.His hair was like a crane's, his face like a child's, his eyebrows were handsome, and his expression was cold.Mò Huà's little action of "stealing learning" was discovered and he was being stared at by his Martial Uncle, feeling a bit guilty, so he obediently smiled:"Martial Uncle, you've become handsome!"Strange Daoist stretched out his slender fingers, flicked lightly, and pointed at Mò Huà's forehead.Mò Huà then fainted softly and lay on the ground.His small face was fair, his eyelashes were black, and his breathing was fine and even.Strange Daoist looked at Mò Huà, his gaze changing several times, his heart unsettled.Junior Brother... what exactly did he teach this little thing?How exactly did he teach such a... unfathomable disciple?Strange Daoist thought of Mò Huà's gaze earlier.Clear, transparent, bright, and faintly revealing a trace of enlightenment to the great Dao...What exactly did this little thing see from the strange Dao sealing heaven array...?And what did he understand?Could it be...Strange Daoist frowned, his gaze indifferent, pondered for a moment, and slowly shook his head.Impossible.He had seen before that although this little thing's array level was okay, he hadn't learned the Immortal Heaven Array Flow.The Immortal Heaven Array Flow was the most orthodox inheritance of this sect.Junior Brother not passing it to him meant that he was not the most orthodox core disciple.And since he hadn't learned the Immortal Heaven Array Flow, without the foundation of array source flow, it was naturally impossible for him to learn heavenly secrets derived calculation, let alone learn everything from one.Without derived calculation, what could he see and understand?Strange Daoist's gaze shifted slightly.However, no matter what this little thing saw or understood.He couldn't let him look again.Who knows what this strange little thing could see...Strange Daoist's gaze condensed, he stretched out his hand, picked up Mò Huà, and slowly walked out of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.After walking out of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, Strange Daoist waved his hand.The strange Dao sealing heaven array reversed, the array patterns changed strangely, swallowing the entire demon hall, together with the demon cultivators buried in the hall, gradually obliterating them...Then Strange Daoist did not look back once, but stepped towards Li Mountain City, towards the Five Elements protective mountain array, and also towards the Junior Brother who had been estranged for hundreds of years within the great array..."The enmity of hundreds of years, it's time to settle it..."Outside Mount Da Li.A white-robed Golden Core late-stage cultivator, together with more than a dozen Golden Core stage deputy directors and directors, were currently escorting Bái Zǐ Shèng and Bái Zǐ Xī to the nearby Qing Mountain City.The white-robed cultivator was the director of Li Mountain City.He was also the highest ranking and most powerful director in the entire Da Li Mountain state boundary.Upon entering Qing Mountain City, Aunt Xuě then saluted and thanked:"Many thanks to the superior official director along the way, otherwise, with demon cultivators rampant, the journey would necessarily be difficult.""Where, where..."The white-robed cultivator, surnamed Superior Official, had an amiable face and also cupped his hands: "It's better that Young Master Bai and Young Lady Bai are safe..."Director Superior Official breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.Good...It was good that these two little ancestors were alright.Although their life-protecting talismans were shattered, they themselves had no major problems, and the demon cultivators along the way who didn't know their place were all sent away by him.Now that he had escorted them all the way to Qing Mountain City, and with Bai family cultivators coming to respond, there should be no worries."The Bai family ah..."Director Superior Official's heart sank slightly, "It turned out to be... the children of the Bai family..."The Bai family was a colossus in the cultivation world.Although the Superior Official family was not of low status, they still couldn't compare with the Bai family after all.Director Superior Official was somewhat worried."I hope the Bai family won't vent their anger on me..."After all, those were two life-protecting talismans!Only old ancestors of the family who had little lifespan remaining, no hope of cultivating the Dao further, and would never advance again, would consume their life cultivation to refine this kind of talisman.There were only a few old ancestors of the family who could plant this kind of talisman themselves.And even fewer family disciples who were qualified to be planted with this kind of talisman.Once a life-protecting talisman was shattered, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to find another old ancestor to replant it...And if it wasn't planted, this kind of heaven's favorite, once they stepped into the cultivation world, would inevitably be in danger everywhere.The future troubles would be big...Director Superior Official frowned, pondered for a long time, then realized that he was not qualified to worry about this idle matter...He shook his head and arranged for the Bai family siblings and Aunt Xuě to stay at the largest inn in Qing Mountain City.Only after the Bai family arrived and took these two little ancestors away safely would he be relieved.As for himself... he had no merit, but he had worked hard.Even if he couldn't claim merit, it would be good if he wasn't blamed...Although the matter was originally sudden, he thought the Bai family wouldn't be unreasonable and blame him too much.Several people stayed in the inn for several days, then the Bai family arrived.A white-clothed masked female cultivator, bringing a group of Bai family cultivators, walked into the inn.Her figure seemed real and illusory, seemed solid and virtual.The people around clearly saw them, but it also seemed as if they hadn't seen anything...Director Superior Official was originally still wondering who the Bai family would send, when he suddenly looked up and saw the female cultivator's figure. His heart was shocked, and he immediately lowered his head and respectfully said:"This subordinate Superior Official Zūn, holding the position of director of Li Mountain City, pays respects to True Person!"This female's face was masked, so he couldn't see her features, but her temperament was icy and noble, with an outstanding elegant posture.More importantly, her aura was ethereal and distant, and deep and unfathomable.Integration Stage!This female was an Integration Stage True Person!Director Superior Official lowered his head even further, afraid of causing even a hint of offense and provoking this True Person's displeasure.The female nodded slightly, her voice clear and pleasant, but with majesty:"Director Superior Official, you have worked hard."Director Superior Official breathed a complete sigh of relief.Aunt Xuě on the side bowed and saluted: "Madam."Bái Zǐ Shèng and Bái Zǐ Xī also showed attachment and shouted together: "Mother..."This female was indeed Bái Zǐ Shèng and Bái Zǐ Xī's mother.She was also an Integration Stage True Person of the Bai family — Bái Qīng Chéng.These two shouts of "Mother" caused a tremor in Bái Qīng Chéng's heart, but she still restrained her emotions and nodded slightly.Director Superior Official was also shocked.These two children actually had an Integration Stage mother.No wonder they could be planted with life-protecting talismans..."Young Master and Young Lady are safe, this subordinate is relieved, then I won't disturb you."Director Superior Official said sensibly.Bái Qīng Chéng nodded slightly.Director Superior Official then withdrew.In the room, only Bái Qīng Chéng, Bái Zǐ Shèng, Bái Zǐ Xī, and Aunt Xuě remained.Bái Qīng Chéng waved her plain hand and removed her veil, revealing a breathtaking beauty.Similar to Bái Zǐ Xī, she had skin like ice and bones like jade, her appearance was flawless, and both had heart-stirring beauty, but compared to Bái Zǐ Xī, she lacked some youthful innocence and was solely beautiful, possessing more maturity, arrogance, and the majesty of the Integration Stage.Aunt Xuě showed a look of shame, "Madam, I was incompetent, the life-protecting talisman..."Bái Qīng Chéng shook her head, "This is not your fault..."Twenty Golden Core demon cultivators.A demon path Holy Son.And... Strange Daoist's scheme...In this kind of situation, no one could protect those two life-protecting talismans.Bái Qīng Chéng looked at her children again, her icy gaze revealing a slight warmth as she asked: "Are you alright?""Um."Bái Zǐ Shèng and the other nodded, but were also somewhat restrained.Bái Zǐ Shèng hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth: "Mother..."Bái Qīng Chéng's expression was calm, "What is it?"Bái Zǐ Shèng hesitated a bit, he was always a little afraid of this cold mother and didn't know how to speak...Bái Zǐ Xī, however, said: "Mother, please save Mò Huà."Bái Qīng Chéng's eyebrows furrowed, "Mò Huà?"Aunt Xuě then said: "He is... the small disciple accepted by Mister Zhuāng, and also Young Master and Young Lady's Junior Brother..."A trace of astonishment flashed across Bái Qīng Chéng's beautiful face.Small disciple?Did my Senior Brother actually accept a disciple?Impossible...How could he possibly accept a disciple again?Bái Qīng Chéng's gaze turned slightly cold and she looked at Aunt Xuě.Aunt Xuě's heart was shocked and she immediately lowered her head: "Mister Zhuāng did not let me tell you..."Bái Qīng Chéng was momentarily stunned, then her expression eased slightly.Her Senior Brother was most taboo about others probing him.Whether he accepted a disciple or not, he naturally didn't want her to know...Bái Qīng Chéng's mood was somewhat complex, and after a moment she asked: "How is he?"Bái Zǐ Xī said: "He was... taken by Strange Daoist..."Bái Zǐ Shèng also nodded beside her: "He was captured because of me and Zǐ Xī, originally he wanted to capture the two of us..."After finishing, Bái Zǐ Shèng lowered his head somewhat guiltily.It seemed he blamed himself for not being able to protect his Junior Brother well.Bái Qīng Chéng's expression remained unchanged, but her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.Strange Daoist!So that's how it was...She was still wondering, with Strange Daoist, and also her "Senior Brother's" ability, if Zǐ Shèng and Zǐ Xī shattered their life-protecting talismans, they would inevitably fall into his hands.She had been worried about this before.But she never thought that Senior Brother would actually let Zǐ Shèng and Zǐ Xī go...Bái Qīng Chéng had pondered about it a hundred times before without finding a solution, only now did she know that Senior Brother had found a "substitute."That was the small disciple named "Mò Huà" whom Senior Brother Zhuāng had accepted...But, why?Was this small disciple actually so important?Did Strange Daoist actually let Zǐ Shèng and Zǐ Xī go because of this?Senior Brother Zhuāng's actions were deeply calculated and far-sighted, leaving nothing out.Perhaps in this small disciple's body, something unspeakable and secret was hidden?Bái Qīng Chéng's gaze condensed slightly."Mother..." Bái Zǐ Xī said lightly.Bái Qīng Chéng came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Bái Zǐ Xī, touched her eyes, and suddenly her heart trembled, her thoughts fluctuating, complex and hard to describe.But her expression remained cold, she just faintly nodded, "I know."Bái Zǐ Shèng still wanted to say more, but was quietly pulled by Aunt Xuě.She knew that was enough said, and with Madam's character, saying more might be counterproductive.Bái Zǐ Shèng and Bái Zǐ Xī looked at Bái Qīng Chéng, then swallowed their words.Afterward, Aunt Xuě narrated the entire journey in detail to Bái Qīng Chéng.Bái Qīng Chéng listened, nodded, her voice pleasant but somewhat cold:"Rest here tonight, and follow me tomorrow..."Her words were light, but obviously not allowing refusal.Bái Zǐ Shèng and Bái Zǐ Xī withdrew somewhat dejectedly.By evening, the moonlight was cold and beautiful.Bái Qīng Chéng sat in the room, with a heavenly secrets compass placed in front of her. Above the compass, cause and effect were entangled, and heavenly secrets floated and sank.Bái Qīng Chéng frowned, and after a long time, sighed."Heavenly secrets derived calculation... I still can't compare to Senior Brother..."She couldn't figure out these heavenly secrets no matter how she calculated.What exactly would Senior Brother's fate be...Bái Qīng Chéng shook her head, and suddenly the two words "Mò Huà" floated into her heart again.She thought again about the plea of her two children, Zǐ Shèng and Zǐ Xī, to her during the daytime, her thoughts complex.Zǐ Shèng's character was somewhat rough and impulsive, but also very proud.Among the many talented disciples in the clan, he always looked down on others and rarely showed such care for others.As for Zǐ Xī...She called her "Mother" and asked her to save her Junior Brother, and that expression reappeared in her mind.Those eyes, always clear and cold, distant, even pure and elegant like a snow lotus, actually faintly revealed a trace of... plea?As her mother, how could she not understand the feelings brewing in those eyes?But... how was that possible?She had always understood her daughter's character...And precisely because of this, she felt shocked in her heart."Mò Huà..."Bái Qīng Chéng's gaze condensed slightly, silently remembering this name.(End of this chapter)
