Chapter 875: Water Shadow

“Senluo Shuijian……”

These few characters, drenched in blood, wildly terrifying, filled with a stock of madness, looking at them is inexplicably somewhat shocking.

Mo Hua's gaze slightly sinks.

He had guessed correctly before.

The Shuijian Forbidden Box, since it contains the character "forbidden," besides being the sect master's "forbidden object," actually truly hides a forbidden technique.

And this forbidden technique is not complete, it seems only halfway developed.

The problem is……

Mo Hua frowns.

Who exactly is researching this forbidden technique?

The successive sect masters of the Shuijian Sect, or…… the old ancestor of the Shuijian Sect?

What is the research direction?

What kind of forbidden technique does the Shuijian Sect exactly want to develop?

Mo Hua's divine sense sinks into the jade slip, roughly flipping through the forbidden technique development manuscript, picking out what he can understand. His eyes gradually widen, and the more he looks, the more his heart is shocked.

The content of the jade slip is profound, and he can only see the general idea.

This seems to be……

It is an attempt to research a forbidden technique combining the Shuijian Sect's superior control Dao law, "Shuijian Technique," and the secret "Qihun Xuepu Technique."

It deconstructs the pupil technique structure and the form of the Shuijian technique, connects divine soul and mental techniques with spiritual power techniques, thereby fusing them into a very unconventional "forbidden Dao law."

This is the underlying principle of this forbidden technique named "Senluo Shuijian."

“Shuijian Sect truly has great boldness……”

Mo Hua is shocked in his heart, then silently ponders.

The Blood Pupil Technique is very strong, and the Shuijian Technique is also very strong, but these two each have drawbacks.

The Pupil Technique needs to be unexpected and cannot be guarded against.

The situation when Xiao Zhenhai and "Shui Yanluo" used the pupil technique was precisely so.

The first time they used the pupil technique, the opponent was caught off guard and could achieve great merit.

Each subsequent use had a certain discount in effect.

If used too much, even fools would know to guard against your pupil technique, making it very easy to "cast pearls before swine" and render this killing move useless.

Furthermore, against ordinary people, it's still okay, but true strong enemies are all clever and cunning.

If you use this pupil technique once and it doesn't kill them.

It won't be so easy to trick people again afterwards, at least it will be greatly restricted.

Similarly, the "Shuijian Technique" is very strong, but no matter how strong, it is also a superior Dao law, and it also has the drawbacks of a superior Dao law.

Slow casting speed, long accumulation time.

Although the Shuijian Technique is not a traditional attacking superior Dao law, its qi accumulation time is slightly shorter.

But this bit of time, compared to the casting time of general techniques, still seems too long, enough for others to target.

Xiao Zhenhai was precisely like this.

The first time he used the Shuijian Technique, it was unexpected, and Uncle Gu and Xia Dian Si were caught off guard and both fell for it.

But the second time he used it again, it wasn't so easy.

Even if he specifically used his golden body, he was still jointly broken by Uncle Gu and Xia Dian Si, who were already on guard.

His Shuijian Technique was also interrupted and he suffered serious backlash.

Therefore, although the power of these two techniques is strong, they both have restrictions.

But if the "Pupil Technique" and the "Shuijian Technique" can be fused into one, that would be a bit…… terrifying.

With the pupil technique as the starting point, it's fast to activate, has a large range, ignores the golden body, can not only affect the divine soul but also strongly control people's physical bodies.

When casting this technique, others wouldn't even dare to look at you.

Because once they take a look, they can't escape anymore.

Not only that, this is a double control of both divine thought and physical body.

Any cultivator, once hit by "Senluo Shuijian," will undoubtedly become a "pig" waiting to be slaughtered, with their life and death not in their own hands.

Mo Hua slightly inhales a cool breath.

Moreover, he vaguely feels that the power of this "Senluo Shuijian" is likely not only so……

In the forbidden technique development manuscript, those profound, obscure technique structures that he still cannot understand seem to hide some unknown laws.

So much so, Mo Hua has a guess:

Could it be precisely because the Shuijian Sect a thousand years ago developed this forbidden technique that they were exterminated by the Dao Court?

Mo Hua's heart gives birth to chill.

This is somewhat terrifying.

“Should not be to that extent, right……”

He thinks for a bit again, but such ancient events from a thousand years ago are too distant, and he doesn't know much. Even if he has a guess, it's not good to verify it.

He doesn't even dare to calculate a bit.

If it's true, the karma of this, sufficient to exterminate a twelve-stream sect, is too great for him to bear.

Then…… can I learn it?

Mo Hua's heart moves, and he carefully flips through this forbidden technique manuscript again, but finds that he can understand a bit of the content involving pupil technique and Shuijian Technique.

But not much, only a bit.

Besides that, those profound, complex, twisted, and obscure technique structures are fundamentally not in the category of Dao law at the second-grade Foundation Building realm.

Mo Hua is helpless.

“Cannot understand……”

He tries to understand several times again, but if he can't understand something, he just can't understand it.

Mo Hua can only give up.

Moreover, this is a forbidden technique, and it's an unfinished forbidden technique, and it's a very profound and complex forbidden technique at that.

It must not be learned easily.

Falling Fire Technique is an exception.

Mo Hua first comprehended a certain "spiritual power underlying law," then relied on the advantage of his divine sense, applied the technique structure of "Falling Fire Technique" to this layer of spiritual power law, and improved it into the second-grade fire system forbidden technique:

"Small Meteorite Technique."

But forbidden techniques cannot be compared with each other.

He absolutely will not think that what he figured out can compare with the forbidden technique researched by the sect master, or even the old ancestor, of the Shuijian Sect, this twelve-stream sect.

When learning the Small Meteorite Technique, he had a mishap and even made himself seriously injured.

If he cultivates this "Senluo Shuijian" forbidden technique, which is much more profound and complex and still unfinished, even a little mishap, he truly doesn't know how he would die.

Mo Hua's heart has lingering fear and he shakes his head.

“Let’s put it away first……”

Even if this forbidden technique manuscript is not learned, it can also be used for research and reference.

And the meaning of research and reference is very great.

On the surface, this is just an incomplete forbidden technique.

But in Mo Hua's eyes, it contains the most top-level research and insights of the Shuijian Sect's high-level on spiritual power composition, technique principles, and technique structure.

This forbidden technique development manuscript is indeed exceptionally precious.

And this thing must not be known to anyone……

After all, it is very likely to contain the great karma of "Shuijian Sect's extermination."

Without thinking, Mo Hua puts this jade slip into his storage ring.

The incomplete forbidden technique "Senluo Shuijian" cannot be learned, so Mo Hua looks towards the other several inheritances.

The cultivation method of "Shuijian Zhenjue" also cannot be learned.

Because it is exclusive to the sect master, it is too expensive.

This "poor family's child" cannot afford to learn it.

The superior control technique "Shuijian Technique" also cannot be learned.

Mo Hua slightly assesses that he can learn it, but learning it is also useless.

His spiritual power foundation cannot support the consumption of this "superior Dao law."

Even if he barely uses it once, his spiritual power will probably almost bottom out.

This is still because control-type superior Dao laws consume less spiritual power than killing-type Dao laws.

He doesn't need to look at other killing-type superior Dao laws at all.

And spend a lot of effort to learn a control-type technique.

When casting it, it consumes almost all of his spiritual power. After using it up, his spiritual power is empty, and his body techniques and stealth techniques may not be usable.

No matter how he thinks about it, it's too stupid……

Mo Hua also puts away "Shuijian Technique" and "Shuijian Zhenjue."

These two things either cannot be learned or are useless to learn—at least temporarily useless.

The only one remaining is "Shuishui Huanshen."

Mo Hua's eyes brighten.

This is a water system body technique. He can learn it, and it fits well with his entire body's Dao law system.

He has already learned Passing Water Step, a water system body technique.

But Shuishui Huanshen does not conflict with Passing Water Step, and to a certain extent, the two can complement each other.

Passing Water Step is strong in evasion and maneuvering in frontal confrontation.

While Shuishui Huanshen focuses on confusing enemies, it can borrow water shadows to draw out flaws and be used to create killing opportunities.

He has coveted this body technique for a long time.

He paid attention to it when he saw Shui Yanluo use Water Shadow Step.

Now that he has obtained "Shuishui Huanshen," which is even better than Water Shadow Step, there is naturally no reason not to learn it.

Mo Hua's eyes emit light.

After that, in addition to learning arrays and swordsmanship, Mo Hua also finds time to start learning this highest body technique inheritance of the Shuijian Sect—Shuishui Huanshen.

Because he has the foundation of Passing Water Step, this Water Shadow body technique is not difficult to get started with.

But Mo Hua actually uses it up, and the effect is still a bit poor.

In order to test this just learned Shuishui Huanshen, he specially found Si Tu Jian and simply sparred a bit in the Dao law room.

As a result, he was beaten without any power to fight back.

Either he couldn't divide the water shadow and took the beating in vain;

Or he divided too slowly and couldn't evade in time;

Or after dividing, he couldn't find his own position and stumbled into Si Tu's embrace……

In short, there are many problems.

Moreover, he envisioned being able to flexibly switch between Shuishui Huanshen and Passing Water Step, fusing and penetrating them.

The idea is very beautiful, but in actual application, the difficulties are great.

Mo Hua is slightly disappointed for a while, then doesn't put it in his heart.

Kui Lao taught him from a young age: Any Dao law emphasizes heat and application.

The more profound one masters it, and the more exquisite one applies it, the more powerful the Dao law will be.

It is not that a cultivator can casually pick a high-grade Dao law, casually practice a bit, and suddenly become powerful.

If that were the case, that Dao law must be a demonic art, and sooner or later, it will suffer backlash.

Any Dao law, to be practiced to a certain heat, requires cultivators to accumulate and research day after day.

His Passing Water Step is like this.

This body technique was obtained from Zhang Lan. During his time in Tong Xian City, Mo Hua started learning it very early, from the Qi Refining stage.

After that, he constantly pondered, constantly summarized, and constantly applied it in actual combat. With the growth of his divine sense and the subtlety of his spiritual power control, he gradually achieved today's attainment.

While Shuishui Huanshen is of decent grade, and its status in the Shuijian Sect's inheritance is very high.

But Mo Hua has only just learned it, his proficiency is too low, and he has spent too little heart and blood on this body technique.

Therefore, the current effect of Shuishui Huanshen is far worse than Passing Water Step. To achieve small success and truly apply it in actual combat and use it like a fish in water, he still needs to spend a lot of heart and blood and temper it slowly.

This is not the effort of one day and one night.

Mo Hua is clear in his heart, so his mentality is also peaceful.

Moreover, for now, Passing Water Step is already sufficient.

Shuishui Huanshen is just adding flowers to brocade, it's not urgent right now.

He has enough time to temper it slowly.

And once in the future, he can also practice Shuishui Huanshen to profoundness, practice it to be like an arm and a finger, to pure blue fire. That, combined with the extremely flexible Passing Water Step, his body technique will usher in a terrifying transformation.

Cannot see clearly, cannot touch.

Cannot catch, cannot kill.

And within the illusion body, killing intent is hidden. Once others are confused by the illusion body, they might not even know how they died.

A trace of sharpness flashes in Mo Hua's eyes.

Another month passed thereafter.

Mo Hua is still wholeheartedly, diligently cultivating.

Cultivating the Dao is like water dripping through stone. In seemingly boring daily life, it accumulates and precipitates little by little.

As time passes, Mo Hua's array and body technique are all steadily, steadily improving.

Swordsmanship, though not hot or cold, is also slowly progressing.

At the same time, the upper level of Tai Xu Sect is vaguely shrouded in an impending storm atmosphere.

Even occasionally, elders from Tai A Sect and Chong Xu Sect still frequently move within Tai Xu Sect, not knowing what matters they are discussing.

Mo Hua secretly asks Old Mister Xun what exactly happened.

Old Mister Xun only shakes his head: "You don't need to worry about these matters at all, just peacefully learn arrays."

Mo Hua wants to speak but stops, finally not saying it out, only saying: "Yes……"

But in his heart, he is still somewhat unable to let go.

He is a disciple of Tai Xu Sect, although insignificant, but at this juncture, he also wants to help a bit.

Seeing the situation, Old Mister Xun ponders for a moment, then his tone is serious: "If you can learn the array well, learn it to the extreme, then you have helped my Tai Xu Sect the biggest favor."

This sentence is heavy, and Old Mister Xun says it incomparably seriously.

Mo Hua is startled, then understands in his heart, and nods seriously: "Old mister, rest assured, I will certainly learn it well."

Old Mister Xun looks deeply at Mo Hua for a moment, and nods with satisfaction.

Thereafter, Mo Hua remembers Old Mister Xun's instruction, and pays no attention to other matters, peacefully learning arrays.

He originally thought that he would just cultivate steadily like this, but still some accidents occurred……

This day, Mo Hua practiced sword, read some sword Dao and heart Dao, and then read an array book for a while. It was almost midnight, so he went to bed early and sank his divine sense into his sea of consciousness.

In the sea of consciousness, Mo Hua sits in meditation, meditating for a while.

But after a moment, the originally quiet sea of consciousness suddenly erupts with a strange laughter.

It is Mo Hua himself laughing.

His face is completely black, becoming very evil.

Mo Hua reaches out and covers his own face.

The laughter stops.

Mo Hua's face recovers as before, and at the same time, he also frowns.

“Are you very happy?”

Mo Hua speaks and asks.

All around is dead silent. After a while, Mo Hua's face begins to distort again, turning into an evil infant's face. Its voice is sharp, and it laughs, "Hehe":

“I didn’t expect you to be such a perfect divine embryo, more ‘perfect’ than I thought.”

“Your sea of consciousness is the best incubator; your divine sense is top-grade nourishment; and your divine soul already shows signs of birthing divine marrow……”

“The most wonderful thing is the fusion of divinity and humanity!”

“This kind of divine soul, I have never seen. Once I convert you, this Honored One will directly descend, equivalent to having a body that is half-god and half-human.”

“This is a true flesh and blood god!”

“Because there is flesh and blood, evil desires naturally exist.”

“And because it is an evil god, evil thoughts are indestructible.”

“In the divine authority position of the Great Wilderness, among the three thousand god skeletons, over a hundred incarnations, and various god embryos, you will be the most special existence!”

“And you…… that is me!”

The evil infant is very excited.

Mo Hua frowns, "You talk too much, are all evil gods chatterboxes?"

The evil infant's face instantly becomes ugly, but soon it smiles sinisterly again:

“Common mortals, even if their cultivation is high, I disdain them. But you are not ordinary, you have the qualifications, you are worth me saying so many words to you.”

Mo Hua says: "Then why don't you come out and we'll chat?"

The evil infant sneers, not answering.

Mo Hua is a little disdainful, "Coward."

The evil infant's face is ferocious, but it suddenly calms down again, revealing some madness:

“I tolerate your rudeness, because you are me sooner or later, and I am you, so I tolerate you, that is tolerating myself.”

Mo Hua's gaze is somewhat dangerous, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

The evil infant borrows Mo Hua's face and emits a sinister smile:

“You cannot kill me, evil thoughts are indestructible. Not to mention you are only half-step Daoization, half a god. Even if you are a true god, you cannot do anything to me……”

“Soon, you will be mine……”

“I look forward to that day……”

The evil infant smiles sinisterly for the last time, then thoroughly merges into Mo Hua's life soul, no longer revealing a trace of breath.

And midnight has already arrived.

The Dao stele appears.

The fresh red tribulation lightning on the Dao stele still emits a dangerous aura, sufficient to erase all breath.

But the evil infant has disappeared.

Or rather, it has fused with Mo Hua into one, not revealing a trace.

Just like a snake lurking in the shadows, it may spring out at any time and bite others.

Mo Hua's heart is disturbed and restless.

This little beast actually dares to jump on his face!

Still mocking me?

What does that mean?

Mo Hua forces himself to calm down and silently ponders:

“This little bastard…… wants to mess up my Dao heart?”

“Or, it wants to influence my state of mind, make my heart restless, or make my heart afraid, so it can take advantage and usurp the nest?”

After all, evil gods are best at playing with people's hearts.

And all the weaknesses of people's hearts, greed, unease, fear, panic, and other emotions, will invisibly become the evil god's breakthrough.

Mo Hua's brows are tightly knit.

This evil embryo is a big hidden danger.

No matter what, he cannot continue to let it go.

He has never had an evil spirit dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

Even if this evil spirit is an evil god's god embryo, he cannot tolerate it.

He needs to think of a way……

Mo Hua's gaze is slightly cold.

After that, he is also not in the mood to draw arrays, and he ponders this matter all night.

The next day, he calms his mentality, continues to sink his heart, cultivate and learn arrays, not letting the matter of the evil embryo affect him.

Three days later, it is another seven-day period.

In the disciple residence, the void shatters and cracks open, and a withered big hand stretches over.

Mo Hua is grabbed to the back mountain forbidden ground again.

Old Ancestor Dugu is still sitting withered in the sword tomb.

This time, he still lectures on swords for Mo Hua as usual, and conveniently inspects Mo Hua's progress in learning swords.

Mo Hua's swordsmanship is still the same, not hot or cold.

Old Ancestor Dugu is as usual, neither surprised nor joyful.

After finishing the lecture on the understanding of sword Dao and checking Mo Hua's progress in practicing swords, Old Ancestor Dugu raises his hand, preparing to send Mo Hua back to the disciple residence.

At this time, Mo Hua suddenly says: "Old ancestor, I have some doubts and want to ask for advice."

Old Ancestor Dugu is startled, then slowly puts down his raised hand, and nods: "Ask away."

Mo Hua deliberates: "Old ancestor, you told me before that the Tai Xu Divine Sense Turn Sword True Art has a total of four existing sword moves……"

“Turn Sword Style is the foundation, it can turn divine sense into sword intent……”

“Shock God Style is an advanced sword move, it can manifest sword intent and shock enemies……”

“What about the other two moves? What sword Dao principles and divine sense changes do they contain? How exactly to cultivate out Break God Style, and that last move……”

Mo Hua's gaze condenses, vaguely revealing sharpness:

“……Chop God Style!”
