Chapter 625: Leek

Elder Xun, who had been completely oblivious, didn't realize what he had done right in front of Mo Hua.

And after finishing the permission modification, a trace of inexplicable trembling arose in his heart.

But this trembling was very subtle, fleeting in an instant.

Elder Xun was stunned for a moment, feeling very puzzled in his heart:

"I didn't do anything, so why do I suddenly feel a bit uneasy..."

Modifying a permission for a child like Mo Hua doesn't count as violating the sect rules or ancestral teachings, right?

Moreover, some of the sect rules and ancestral teachings were set by me...

"Could it be, for other reasons?"

When Elder Xun thought about it again, everything vanished without a trace, as if the past events had already passed.

The things that were stolen and learned were also already learned.

Because the outcome had already been formed.

Elder Xun frowned, pondered for a moment, confirmed repeatedly in his heart, and silently let out a breath.

This should... have no relation to the Tai Xu Sect...

Then I won't worry about it!

"Matters of other sects, I, an old man, can't manage..."

Elder Xun felt at ease and no longer paid attention.

He turned his head to return the Tai Xu Ling to Mo Hua but was suddenly startled.

Mo Hua's fair and tender little face was full of surprise, his eyes, like stars in the sky, flashing one after another.

Elder Xun was a bit taken aback.

What did this child think of again?

But I didn't teach him anything?

Just modifying a permission, what could he learn?

Elder Xun wrinkled his brows tightly, feeling very perplexed.

"Keep the Tai Xu Ling well..."

Elder Xun instructed.

Mo Hua came back to his senses, quickly nodded and said: "Mm mm." Then he took the Tai Xu Ling, a smiling face putting it away.

"What exactly is this child so excited about?"

Elder Xun kept muttering in his heart.

The Tai Xu Ling had also been modified, and things that shouldn't have been learned were also learned. Mo Hua bid farewell and wanted to leave.

"Right..." Elder Xun suddenly thought of something else and asked: "Your merit points seem to have accumulated quite a lot?"

Just when he was modifying Mo Hua's Tai Xu Ling, he unintentionally looked and discovered that there were actually more than a hundred merit points inside.

Entry-level merit tasks usually only give a few points.

More than a hundred merit points require accumulating for a long time.

He wondered how many formations he had drawn, how many times he had swept the steps, how many times he had looked at the mountain gate...

Mo Hua couldn't help but nod and say: "Yes, I accumulated them very hard!"

These days, the evil cultivators he captured or killed at the Dao Court Office could already form a line.

On the Yellow Springs Road, they could also line up a small team.

Therefore, he earned a full thousand-plus merit points!

He bought six second-grade sixteen-pattern formations and still didn't spend it all!

Mo Hua had a face full of impressive appearance.

Elder Xun nodded slightly and praised:

"Not bad, keep up the effort!"

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Elder, you can rest assured!"

Mo Hua bid farewell to Elder Xun and, after returning to the disciples' residence, impatiently began to ponder the matter of "tampering"... no, it was "modifying" permissions.

Modifying permissions!

This is the true application of secondary lightning patterns.

Before, Mo Hua deduced and recorded secondary lightning patterns, and although he had accumulated quite a few, he was inevitably somewhat confused, not knowing the principle and fundamental use of secondary lightning patterns.

But now, the kind-hearted Elder Xun had pointed out the direction for him.

In his mind, he reproduced the process of Elder Xun modifying the Tai Xu Ling over and over again, and he summarized the key points within it:

First, one must master secondary lightning patterns.

Simply accumulating a "secondary lightning pattern library" is not enough; one also needs to deeply understand and truly master the usage of secondary lightning patterns.

His previous usage was just blindly guessing and selecting secondary lightning patterns to unseal and decrypt.

This was like accumulating a pile of "keys" and then trying to open others' locks by luck.

Although this "luck" was based on solid formation attainments and extremely complex, strange deduction fusion, and the divine sense usage of heavenly mechanism dual calculations.

But it was still crude after all.

The technical content of formations was a bit low.

However, now, Elder Xun demonstrated a completely new method.

That is, controlling secondary lightning patterns to reversely influence indeterminate magnetic patterns, modify fixed magnetic patterns, thereby restructuring the underlying formation, and tampering with core permissions.

It's like turning keys into "molten metal" and freely modifying the formation, which is the "door lock."

This behavior is not like "unlocking" but like "changing the lock."

Change others' locks according to one's own will into the shape one wants.

After "unlocking," the underlying patterns remain unchanged; entering is still others' "home."

But after changing the lock, the underlying patterns change, and the permissions are altered.

For this "home" constituted by Yuan magnetic formations, whose it is, is hard to say.

Who can enter and who cannot is all decided by oneself...

And the core of all this is the weak, obscure, but more essential connection between magnetic patterns – the secondary lightning flow, which is "secondary lightning patterns."

Second are the forms of magnetic patterns.

Using secondary lightning patterns to modify magnetic patterns requires learning various Yuan magnetic formations and mastering the fitting ways of multiple fixed magnetic patterns and indeterminate magnetic patterns.

So that in the future, when using secondary lightning patterns to modify Yuan magnetic formations, one knows how to modify, what form to modify into, what effects...

Third is the Yuan magnetic array hub.

But the problem of the Yuan magnetic array hub is still unclear to Mo Hua at present.

The Yuan magnetic formations he has learned still do not involve array hubs, and he is also not very clear how to apply them.

But according to the few words of guidance from Elder Xun before, Mo Hua speculated that in all large Yuan magnetic formations, each Yuan magnetic terminal is controlled layer by layer by the changes in the array hub.

The core of permissions also relies on the array hub.

The unsealing and decrypting of heritage jade slips are single Yuan magnetic formations, not involving array hub control.

But transmission orders and Tai Xu Ling, such more complex formations, are different.

However, these formations are matters of seventeen patterns and above.

Mo Hua can only wait until later when his divine sense is strong enough, learn related formations, and then slowly comprehend...

Mo Hua summarized and categorized a bit in his heart.

From secondary lightning patterns to double fixed-rule magnetic patterns, and then to the lightning-magnetic level array hub.

This is Elder Xun's "well-intentioned" personal demonstration for him, starting with secondary lightning patterns, with clear levels, rigorous structure, and step-by-step, the comprehension and application process of lightning magnetic formations.

Mo Hua silently thanked Elder Xun a bit, and then made a plan for his own learning of Yuan magnetic formations:

The next things to do are to learn more Yuan magnetic formations, accumulate more secondary lightning patterns, and then initially try to use secondary lightning patterns to tamper with magnetic patterns.

Wait until his divine sense is stronger, then learn higher-level, seventeen-pattern and above Yuan magnetic formations.

Then learn Yuan magnetic complex formations that include array hub structures.

Until magnetic patterns are familiar, the array hub is clear in mind, and the usage of secondary lightning patterns is as one wishes...

Finally, step by step, he will comprehend and control the true lightning-magnetic great formation applied in the sect's merit system!

Become the "shadow" that steals secrets and the "master" that dominates lightning and magnetic in Yuan magnetic secret patterns and secondary lightning flow.

Once he can crack the great formation, his own "authority" will reign supreme over all great formations' array hub levels.

All the secrets of the sects within the Qian Xue State boundary will be in his grasp.

Mo Hua beautifully envisioned this in his heart.

But now he can only think about it first.

He has just established his foundation, and just learned the sixteen-pattern beacon Yuan magnetic formation; he is still very far from this goal...

Meals need to be eaten one bite at a time, and formations need to be learned one by one.

Divine sense enhancement is even more not achieved in one go.

Mo Hua calmed his heart and, as always, researched formations, deducing and recording "secondary lightning patterns."

But with a framework in mind, learning again was not as ignorant as before, and his feeling towards secondary lightning patterns was also deeper.

One after another secondary lightning patterns also seemed to come alive, having a subtle connection with Mo Hua...

Mo Hua seemed to be able to feel the obscure great Dao laws among these complex secondary lightning patterns and the accompanying weak magnetic flows.

They seemed to be slowly merging with his own divine sense...

Profound and mysterious.

But due to the strength of his divine sense, this process was still relatively slow.

Mo Hua deeply felt that his own divine sense was still not strong enough...

Many things he wanted to learn, he fundamentally couldn't learn yet.

Sixteen-pattern divine sense.

Although compared to cultivators of the same batch and the same realm, his divine sense was already far ahead.

But truly involving profound divine sense deduction and high-end formation comprehension, sixteen-pattern divine sense, even if qualitatively changed, still seemed stretched.

His current divine sense is still not enough to support him in researching more profound formation knowledge.

But the growth of divine sense, like trickling streams converging into rivers, bit by bit, cannot be rushed.

Mo Hua sighed.

Without "extra meals," he can only patiently and silently learn formations and slowly temper his divine sense...

Probably half a month later, in the evening, at midnight.

Mo Hua lay on the table, having finished today's homework, learned several Bagua formations, and was just preparing to enter the sea of consciousness to simulate Yuan magnetic formations and deduce secondary lightning patterns, when suddenly his expression froze.

He perceived some abnormalities next door.

It was a kind of obscure, cold, and evil feeling.

As if demonic causality was secretly growing, ferocious evil spirits were drooling, hanging upside down from the roof...

Mo Hua's eyes lit up.

Leeks!

They've grown!

He immediately got up and just went out the door when he bumped into Wen Ren Wei.

Wen Ren Wei was tall and big, standing at his door, with a grave expression and some hesitation, seeming to be wondering whether to disturb Mo Hua.

Seeing Mo Hua come out, he was somewhat surprised, then cupped his hands and said:

"Young Master Xiao Mo, Young Master Yu seems to be having nightmares again..."

Mo Hua nodded and emphasized again:

"I am not from a noble family, no need to call me young master."

Wen Ren Wei nodded and said: "Yes."

But his face was full of solemnity, obviously an appearance of 'I agree, but etiquette here will not change'.

Mo Hua was helpless and could only first go to see Yu Er.

Yu Er's room was arranged comfortably and warmly, with a screen in the middle, outside of which lived Wen Ren Wei.

Yu Er lived inside, his bed was clean and soft, with a fluffy blanket, surrounded by mountain and river screens, and a calming incense burner was burning.

The surrounding scenery, to the naked eye, was elegant and quiet.

But Yu Er on the bed was frowning, his small hands and feet flailing randomly, as if in fear.

Wen Ren Wei showed worry, only vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but fundamentally didn't know what had happened.

Mo Hua looked up, his pupils instantly deepened, and then he saw in the void, causal patterns being born, sticky black water seeping from the roof, and one by one demonic arms and claws, like "leeks," "growing" out of the void gaps...

Mo Hua couldn't help but lick his lips, then said to Wen Ren Wei:

"Uncle Wei, rest outside for a while, I'll watch here."

Wen Ren Wei was slightly stunned, worried:

"Young Master Xiao Mo, this..."

"No problem."

Mo Hua smiled, then picked up the cushion and sat beside Yu Er, blocking between Yu Er and the demons, a face of relaxed and composed, even a bit...

Expectant?

Like at a banquet, waiting for "serving dishes"...

Wen Ren Wei frowned, hesitated for a moment, cupped his hands and said:

"Then, I will trouble Young Master Xiao Mo."

Afterwards, Wen Ren Wei came outside, his gaze steady, vigilant all around, and at the same time, he divided a thread of divine sense to pay attention to Mo Hua.

In his heart, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Young Master Yu's matter is very strange; he had only heard of it but had never actually seen it.

And today he saw with his own eyes, Young Master Yu having nightmares, as if entangled by demons.

But he looked around and scanned with his divine sense, still detecting nothing.

As if causal spirals and matters of the two realms, virtual and real.

With his cultivation realm, he actually couldn't see any clues either...

But he knew that this young master surnamed Mo, indeed, "saw" something just now.

Exactly what kind of things, so strange and evil...

He, a late Golden Core peak cultivator, couldn't see it, while a young cultivator in the Foundation Building period could see it...

Wen Ren Wei's gaze was grave, puzzled in his heart.

Just at this time, the atmosphere indoors suddenly changed.

Wen Ren Wei vaguely felt as if some things were very angry, their malice overflowing, stirring up waves of evil wind.

Then a daze.

That young master surnamed Mo's face turned white, his expression gloomy, and he slowly closed his eyes.

As if, he was using his body as a shield for Young Master Yu, blocking some "malicious qi."

Wen Ren Wei trembled in his heart, looking at Mo Hua's eyes with added respect.

Such a young child actually has such a "self-sacrificing" chivalrous heart; truly rare...

And in the sea of consciousness, Mo Hua opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was still as always.

Black water pervading, deformed demons, ugly grim laughs, absurd and evil, like purgatory.

Demons and ghosts, seeing Mo Hua's divine sense incarnation so "young," so "pure," all showed greedy expressions.

In their eyes, Mo Hua was just an "appetizer."

But soon, Mo Hua made them understand.

Exactly who is the "appetizer."

Mo Hua smiled coldly, drawing with his fingers, like a merciless judge, wielding an iron pen, then judging these demons and ghosts to life and death.

A grand formation manifested.

On the ground, bright red formation patterns intertwined chaotically, and lava flowed.

The rocks around turned into cages.

The formation turned into raging flames, trapping, burning, and refining this group of demons and ghosts alive.

Then Mo Hua opened his small mouth and swallowed them whole.

After swallowing, Mo Hua smacked his lips, still not satisfied, and then searched around for a long time, with a disappointed expression.

He saw the black water spreading and the demonic qi thick, thinking that inside, sheep horn followers or some other horn's followers might still be hiding.

He could have golden divine sense "marrow" to drink.

What a pity, none.

Only low-level demons to fill his stomach and satisfy his hunger.

"Don't know when the sheep horn followers will come..."

Mo Hua shook his head, exited the sea of consciousness, opened his eyes, and the gloom on his face was swept clean, the paleness retreated, becoming rosy.

And that pair of eyes were even more spirited, full of divine sense.

Wen Ren Wei, who had always been paying attention to him, was startled, slightly horrified.

"Exactly... what happened?"

He had always paid attention to Mo Hua. In his eyes, this Young Master Xiao Mo's face was originally pale, and between his brows, Yin qi suffused, but not long after, it all dissipated like snow melting in hot soup.

Wen Ren Wei was somewhat lost in thought.

Could it be... this young master is truly a body that ten thousand evils don't invade, with great fortune?

As Miss said, he is Young Master Yu's fortunate person?

Mo Hua looked at Yu Er, saw that he was no longer in fear, sleeping sweetly, then tucked in the corner of his blanket for him, got up and left, walked to Wen Ren Wei and said:

"Uncle Wei, it should be nothing now, I'll go back first."

In Wen Ren Wei's gaze, it was hard to hide his surprise; he solemnly cupped his hands and said:

"Young Master Xiao Mo, thank you."

Wait until Mo Hua left, Wen Ren Wei suddenly called him back, and after a moment of silence, said:

"Young Master Xiao Mo, if you have any instructions, just command."

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised but also didn't refuse Wen Ren Wei's good intention, smilingly saying:

"Thank you, Uncle Wei."

After returning to his room, Mo Hua continued to meditate.

Because he had eaten too much, he needed to "digest."

So he meditated and guarded his heart, expelling evil thoughts, and those wisps of the demons' divine sense were then absorbed and thoroughly refined by him bit by bit.

Mo Hua's divine sense also had an obvious enhancement.

Probably equivalent to one month of formation tempering...

Although still far from seventeen patterns, this "unexpected joy" of obtained divine sense was also quite substantial...

"If I had 'food' every day, it would be great..."

Mo Hua couldn't help but think.

Immediately he shook his head, feeling a bit greedy.

It's good to occasionally have one meal; how can he eat every day?

Demons and ghosts are not really "leeks."

Even if they were "leeks," it's impossible to grow a batch every day, growing so fast.

Mo Hua continued to meditate, quietly cultivate, concentrate and ponder, but as he thought, the scene when the demons appeared floated in his mind again.

Void patterns, causal chains, sticky black water...

Mo Hua frowned and muttered: "I also don't know who commanded these demons, and how they were sent to Yu Er's side through causal chains..."

Mo Hua thought for a bit, and suddenly his eyes brightened slightly.

Suppose he knew the method to control demons, then is it possible to think of a way...

To remotely control them and make them send more?

"Even if I don't let these demons go find Yu Er again."

"Yu Er is a child, frightened every day, can't sleep, quite pitiful."

"Just let them come find me..."

"I don't need to sleep; I can always accompany them to play..."

Mo Hua's abacus in his heart clicked loudly.

He silently noted this matter down, thinking that later, when he had time, he must figure out the causal methods within and then think of a way to change the "address."

Demons and ghosts are very dangerous; he can't always let the neighbors receive them on his behalf.

Deliver them directly to the door, in one step, put them in his own home, that's more convenient...

Mo Hua nodded, feeling his demand was very reasonable.

And moments before, at the Tai Xu Sect's back mountain forbidden area.

In the solemn sword tombs all over the mountain.

An elder with an emaciated body and a long beard hanging down opened his eyes.

Like the judgment of primal chaos, Tai Xu flowed, and a trace of extremely sharp sword light bloomed in the elder's eyes, containing supreme momentum.

"From what place do these demons and evils dare to appear in Tai Xu?"

He pinched his fingers, then wanted to trace the heavenly mechanism, follow the effect to push the cause, and cut down the evil with his sword.

But as soon as he deduced, he frowned.

"Gone..."

"Disappeared..."

"Was it 'eaten' by what thing...?"

The elder was somewhat astonished.

"When did my Tai Xu Sect raise a 'divine beast' that eats evil spirits?"
