Chapter 689: Divine Sense Transformation

Why would the Over River Dragon know the God Path array method?

Mo Hua's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Just now, he observed that when the Over River Dragon was drawing the array method, his pen strokes were unfamiliar, his divine sense was sluggish, and his wrist was very stiff. It didn't look like someone who often drew array methods.

He wasn't a true array master; his knowledge of the "seal" array method was likely something he had memorized by heart and then "copied" by drawing.

If that was the case, then this God Path array method must have been taught to him by someone else.

Who taught him?

Mo Hua’s divine consciousness quickly reviewed all the cultivators related to the Over River Dragon and the human traffickers one by one, and his gaze finally condensed slightly.

"... Mr. Tu?"

Human traffickers, sin cultivators, evil cultivators, demon cultivators...

Among all these cultivators, there was only one person who could possibly master such an ancient, nearly lost profound array method. However, that person was mysterious and unfathomable; Mo Hua had only heard of him and had never met him...

Mr. Tu.

"The God Path array method transmission... is in Mr. Tu's hands?"

Mo Hua was a little puzzled.

If his guess wasn't wrong, Mr. Tu was the mastermind behind the scenes, with a very high identity, possibly the "big lackey" of the Great Wilderness Evil God.

The God Path array method transmission, which exhausts the power of divine consciousness to restrain the divine, would it be hidden in the hands of the Evil God's lackey?

Mo Hua's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

This seemed a bit... illogical?

Or, is there some other reason behind this?

While Mo Hua was pondering, the water well on the other side also seemed to have undergone a causal change, its aura suddenly shifting, as if it had completely become another well.

Scarlet blood fog spread from the bottom of the well.

This well was no longer the water well of the small fishing village, but more like...

The entrance to some kind of forbidden place.

The Over River Dragon prostrated himself at the well mouth, bowing devoutly. After three kowtows, he picked up the dead fish and jumped directly into the well.

Mo Hua was shocked.

This Over River Dragon... actually jumped in directly...

Subsequently, he felt a bit strange again.

The Over River Dragon jumped into the well, but no sound of water was heard from inside. It was as if the well had become a dry well at this moment.

Mo Hua waited for a moment and saw that the Over River Dragon did not come out again, so he tiptoed quietly towards the edge of the well mouth and took a look.

The bottom of the well was completely covered by blood fog, like a blood-colored forbidden land.

It looked very dangerous.

Mo Hua looked at the surrounding array method again.

Only then did he discover that the white brick stones around the water well were actually not stones, but a type of bone-quality stone brick that had been ground flat.

This kind of bone brick was specifically used as a medium for evil arrays.

Only when stained with dust and piled among ordinary stones, under a casual glance, was it not easy to detect.

And on the bone bricks were the evil path array patterns that the Over River Dragon had just drawn.

Mo Hua examined these array patterns and was suddenly shocked. He discovered that these blood-colored array patterns were gradually fading away, and the traces of the array method were also slowly disappearing.

In an instant, Mo Hua understood.

This kind of blood ink would self-dissipate to leave no trace.

The Over River Dragon used blood ink to draw the array patterns, opened the "seal" of the water well, and then jumped into the well.

After the blood ink self-evaporated and the array patterns disappeared, the water well would be "sealed" again, and the blood fog entrance would close.

This way, no one would know exactly where he went.

And no one would know what secret was hidden inside this well.

"The methods are indeed meticulous..."

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, and then without delay, he immediately concentrated his spirit and recorded the blood-colored array patterns at the edge of the well.

After a while, the array patterns receded, and the blood fog surged back into the water well instead.

This well once again became an ordinary water well, with deep, pitch-black water inside.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that his divine consciousness was strong, his comprehension was high, his memory was good, and his array method attainments were deep.

If he were a bit worse, he wouldn't have been able to remember so many array patterns in just this short time...

Mo Hua took out paper and pen and used ordinary spirit ink to copy the array patterns that the Over River Dragon had drawn on the edge of the water well to "unseal" it.

These array patterns were very likely part of the legendary "God Path array method."

Mo Hua examined them for a long time, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

He didn't understand these array patterns very well.

They seemed to be missing some basic underlying structure, making it impossible to discern the meaning of the array patterns, the structure of the array hub, or the inherent flow of power.

This seemed to be a purely formalized array method, specifically prepared for "array blind" individuals.

There was no need to understand, just memorize it by rote.

This was a good thing for people who didn't understand array methods.

But for an array master like Mo Hua, who was proficient in array principles, it seemed a bit... difficult to understand.

Mo Hua could only "memorize" these array patterns first, and then when he had the opportunity to obtain a complete, systematized transmission of the God Path array method, he could conduct a more in-depth comprehension.

Of course, the premise was that his guess wasn't wrong.

The array patterns on this water well were really the "God Path array method"...

Mo Hua's gaze brightened again as he looked towards the water well.

The Evil God was indeed related to the water well.

His previous prediction wasn't wrong.

On the surface, this was one well, but it was actually two wells.

One was a water well in a small fishing village that connected to provide wish power, and the other was a dry well that connected to accept offerings from the Evil God.

This was also the first time Mo Hua had personally seen and come into contact with the Evil God's preaching.

Mo Hua couldn't help but take a deep breath.

His divine consciousness quality had changed, and he had also heard a lot of divine way knowledge from Yellow Mountain Lord. This was why he could catch the Evil God's flaw.

Otherwise, even if he were a Golden Core, if he rashly entered the small fishing village, he wouldn't be able to discover anything at all.

Even if his sea of consciousness were polluted by the Evil God, he would likely fall into evil obstacles, breed evil thoughts, and be confused without knowing the truth...

Mo Hua looked at the water well again.

Now, the entrance to the truth was right in front of him.

The problem now was whether or not to follow the Over River Dragon and enter the bottom of the well to see what was hidden inside.

In what form did the Evil God actually exist?

And before that, he had to learn how to open the "seal" at the well mouth first.

Mo Hua pondered for a long time and finally decided that whether or not to enter the well bottom now, he had to first try to learn how to break the seal of the water well.

This way, he could enter and retreat, and the initiative would be in his own hands.

Mo Hua recalled the process of the Over River Dragon drawing the array patterns in his mind again. After taking out his pen and ink, he began to move his pen and copy the evil patterns left by the Over River Dragon on the bone bricks around the water well.

Mo Hua drew very fast.

In a short while, the array patterns were drawn, but the water well remained motionless, without any reaction.

"As expected..."

Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

Using bone as the medium and blood as the ink, this was the method of evil arrays.

His attempt to replace "blood ink" with ordinary "spirit ink" would not activate the evil array...

But where could he get blood ink?

Blood ink required mixing with human blood.

It seemed not just simple mixing; it also had to be matched with some herbs explicitly prohibited by the Dao Court, and some cruel methods could be used to mix it...

Becoming an evil array master starts from mixing blood ink...

It could be said that as long as one started mixing blood ink, one foot had already stepped onto the road of an evil array master.

Mo Hua would simply not do such a stupid thing.

But without blood ink, how could he draw an evil array?

Evil array...

Mo Hua began to speculate step by step based on his extremely rich experience in first and second grade array methods...

The essence of a so-called evil array was that the array master used evil methods to draw an array method that he originally couldn't draw...

Or, to borrow evil methods to enhance the power of the array method.

The Over River Dragon was not an array master, and his divine consciousness was limited, so he would definitely not be able to draw the true God Path array method. Therefore, he could only borrow crooked ways to force its construction.

Then, the array patterns drawn by the Over River Dragon contained both a part of the "evil" way and a part of the "God" way.

Borrowing the "evil" way to approach the "God" way.

This was why the Over River Dragon could successfully draw these array methods.

As for himself now, he neither passed the "God way" nor borrowed the "evil way," so these array patterns he drew were useless.

What exactly did "God Path" array method mean?

Mo Hua racked his brain, but for a time he still couldn't figure it out.

"Then think in reverse..."

What was the God Path array method used for?

To restrain, or to seal the divine?

Since it was intended to restrain or seal the divine, then it must possess divine sense power that could match the divine?

After all, there was a difference between humans and gods.

Human divine consciousness and divine divine sense had a "quality" difference.

So, if that were the case...

Mo Hua's eyes widened, and he was suddenly shocked.

The so-called God Path array method was to transform human "divine consciousness" through the array method, into power that could compare with "divine" divine sense?

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

If that were the case...

He himself already possessed divine sense that was close to "divine"!

What else needed to be transformed?

Mo Hua's pupils brightened, and he continued to think...

Although his divine consciousness had changed in quality, when drawing array methods, he still followed his previous habit and called it divine consciousness...

So now, suppose he deliberately injected the "deified" divine consciousness into the array method, wouldn't this itself be equivalent to a kind of "God Path" array method?

Mo Hua suddenly became enlightened, and then without delay, he immediately tried it.

He closed his eyes to concentrate his spirit, and called upon all the pale gold, almost like blood threads, divine sense that had been produced in his sea of consciousness due to swallowing "divine marrow."

And then Mo Hua began to use ordinary spirit ink to draw the evil patterns left by the Over River Dragon around the water well.

The pale gold divine sense, with Mo Hua's pen and ink flow, penetrated into the array patterns.

The array patterns under Mo Hua's pen began to merge with a kind of pale gold light that ordinary people could not see, transcending the level of ordinary cultivators' divine consciousness, like "divine" divine sense.

Mo Hua drew very seriously and cautiously.

And this time after drawing, the array method indeed worked.

Mo Hua could faintly perceive that the array patterns he drew possessed a mysterious "God Path power," which resonated with the bone bricks, leading out some kind of evil power originating from the Evil God deep within the well bottom, and gradually releasing this power...

The water well trembled, its aura suddenly changed, and scarlet blood fog surged up from the bottom of the well again.

Mo Hua's expression was joyful.

Success!

The Evil God's old home's door was opened by him!

That is to say, the key to the Evil God's home's door was in his hands!

"Do I want to go in or not?"

Mo Hua stared at the blood fog at the bottom of the well, feeling that he still shouldn't take the risk, so he threw a small tiger down to take a look.

When the small tiger landed, there was no sound of water.

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

This only explained that this well was a dry well, and it was dry inside.

Mo Hua manipulated the small tiger with his divine consciousness and continued to explore forward. The path was smooth, and there were neither cultivators nor other buildings.

Mo Hua frowned.

"Could the bottom of this well be empty?"

After walking for a while longer, suddenly there was a "plop," and the small tiger seemed to have fallen into water.

And then, in just an instant, an extremely strong power attacked, and in Mo Hua's perception, this scouting small tiger was instantly crushed into powder.

Mo Hua was awe-inspired in his heart.

What exactly was this...

A cultivator? Or a demonic beast?

Was this the true "watchdog" in front of the Evil God's door?

Mo Hua had a headache.

Too dangerous...

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, feeling a bit helpless, and sighed in his heart: "Forget it, let's make a long-term plan..."

The "Evil God" who had truly become a force and was being preached everywhere was necessarily a "hard bone," and it wasn't something he could solve alone.

Mo Hua was still a little unwilling in his heart, but there was no other way, so he could only leave first.

Before leaving, he used dissipating spirit liquid to erase all the array patterns he had drawn at the edge of the well one by one.

As the array patterns were erased, the water well was restored to its original state.

Mo Hua looked around again, making sure he hadn't left any flaws, then turned and left.

But he didn't walk far, but found a hidden place nearby and continued to hide his body. He waited for a whole night until daybreak. After the Over River Dragon still didn't show up and fishermen had already come to the well to draw water, Mo Hua finally gave up helplessly.

He didn't have much time and couldn't ask for more leave, so he could only return to Tai Xu Gate first.

Gu Chang Huai helped Mo Hua ask for one day's leave, stating that he was still helping the Dao Court Si draw array methods.

After Mo Hua returned to the sect, Gu Chang Huai sent a message asking: "Where did you go?"

I went to catch the Evil God...

Mo Hua originally wanted to answer like that, but Uncle Gu believing it would be a ghost - unless he was also parasitized by the Evil God one day.

"I pursued the Over River Dragon and found clues about the human traffickers."

Mo Hua gave a reason that Uncle Gu could relatively easily accept.

Gu Chang Huai's spirit indeed lifted, and he asked:

"Where? In the small fishing village?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "They definitely have a base in the small fishing village, but I'm still looking for the entrance..."

Gu Chang Huai was silent for a moment, then said unconventionally: "You've worked hard..."

Without Mo Hua, who had keen divine consciousness, was proficient in hiding, and had a meticulous mind, it would be basically impossible for the Dao Court Si to watch the Over River Dragon without being noticed and follow the clues to find the human traffickers' den.

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Uncle Gu actually said "you've worked hard" to him.

Now he suspected a bit whether Uncle Gu was really parasitized by the Evil God...

However, being appreciated by Uncle Gu was also a good thing. It would be easier to entrust matters to the Dao Court Si later.

Mo Hua said: "During the next ten-day break, I will go find it again and see if I can pull out the Over River Dragon."

"Okay," Gu Chang Huai sent a message, "I'll send a few more people to watch the movements in the small fishing village..."

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.

The two finished chatting.

After that, Mo Hua attended classes normally, and all his spare time was used to ponder the matter of the "God Path" array method.

Array methods were vast and profound.

Having a transmission was naturally a good thing.

But if there was no transmission, one had to learn to find it oneself.

Borrowing understanding of array ways, array method experience, and array learning foundation, through clues, peeling back layers, constantly thinking, removing the false and retaining the true, to seek the unknown great way and master deeper level array methods...

This was also what Master had personally taught him during his cloud wandering days.

And the God Path array method was profound and mysterious, nearly lost.

Mo Hua had no transmission either, but through this trip to the small fishing village, the simple array patterns learned from the Over River Dragon's three scales and two claws, and his own on-site "learning and using," he opened the door of the Evil God's dry well...

Mo Hua had a clearer speculation:

The God Path array method was a kind of array method that "transformed" human divine consciousness to achieve some kind of "qualitative change," and borrowed this to restrain the divine.

Mo Hua was still not sure whether this kind of "qualitative change" achieved through the array method was the same as the qualitative change of his own divine consciousness now.

Because he still hadn't learned the true God Path array method.

But the God Path array method, since it could restrain the divine...

It meant that this kind of divine sense "transformed" by cultivators' divine consciousness, even if not as good as divine sense after true "qualitative change," might not necessarily be much inferior.

In a sense, this was a truly sufficient method to confront the divine.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

During ancient times, the ancient array masters who could comprehend heaven and earth, spy on the principles of divine consciousness, and establish the God Path array method were truly too terrifying...

They could even research out this kind of array method...

This was truly using the flesh body to comprehend the heavenly way and confront the divine.

Mo Hua felt respect in his heart.

But following this, he still had a doubt...

Common cultivators' divine consciousness, after being "transformed" through the God Path array method, became power sufficient to check and balance the divine divine sense...

Then, his own power, which had already undergone a qualitative change to some extent and was close to divine divine sense, after being "transformed" through the God Path array method, what would it become?

Could it seal an Evil God who was even more powerful than himself?

Or could it...

Mo Hua tried to think for a moment, and then was suddenly shocked, startled by his own idea.

Mo Hua shook his head repeatedly.

He couldn't aim too high...

This was all still just speculation, not necessarily true.

"First, find a way to get the true God Path array method and learn it, then consider other matters..."

"An array master must keep their feet on the ground and seek truth from facts!"

Mo Hua nodded.

Now the only clue was still the Over River Dragon.

As long as he caught the Over River Dragon, he might be able to get a complete God Path array diagram.

Mo Hua's eyes were bright and clear, with an expression of anticipation.

Just... how to get into that blood-foggy well bottom?

Thinking of this, Mo Hua was a bit worried again.

He wasn't particularly afraid of evil spirits, but he was a bit helpless when facing those demonic beasts or groups of demon cultivators lurking in the dark.

If he found a helper...

Uncle Gu was a Golden Core cultivator, but he didn't believe in the Evil God.

Moreover, even if he was a Golden Core, if he was possessed by the Evil God, he would likely be inauspicious.

That bloody well bottom seemed to be temporarily inaccessible...

Mo Hua sighed.

"Only think of another way..."

"Or, find time to ask Yellow Mountain Lord again?"

Mo Hua pondered in his heart.

After that day, Mo Hua cultivated on one hand, pondered array methods on the other, and considered the matter of the Evil God's well in the small fishing village.

Several days passed, and he suddenly received a message from Gu Chang Huai:

"Something happened in the small fishing village..."

Mo Hua was startled, "What happened?"

Gu Chang Huai: "Two children in the village were abducted by the Over River Dragon. We don't know where he took them."

Mo Hua's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he still confirmed:

"Whose children..."

Gu Chang Huai said: "I heard... it's the two grandsons of Old Yu Head..."
