Chapter 978: Auspicious Omen

"What are you all saying? Why can't I understand it very well..." Old Mister Xun said with a straight face, lying.

Old Ancestor Ouyang frowned, "With such a big commotion, don't tell me you didn't see it."

"I was in closed cultivation, I could see it all clearly. A towering big tree rose from the ground, golden light paved the entire mountain range, shining the black sky like daylight..."

"Moreover, what was on that tree? Were they array patterns? One branch, one array method, one flower, array patterns?"

"Truly unbelievable..."

"I've lived so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing."

Old Ancestor Ouyang pondered and said, "Which fellow daoist is breaking through? This produced a heaven and earth phenomenon? Is it the astonishing talent's feathering, or breaking the void's cavernous realm?"

"Not quite like it..." Old Ancestor Linghu of the Chongxu Sect thought for a moment, shook his head, "Cultivator breakthrough, heaven and earth phenomenon is constituted by spiritual power, or blood energy, it will not be divine sense."

"This is true, never seen anyone whose phenomenon is constituted by divine sense..."

"But no matter what," Old Ancestor Linghu said with a serious expression, "To be able to derive such a grand, such a brilliant, such a profound, like the heaven and earth golden lotus blooming, Jianmu myriad laws flourishing general phenomenon, this person is absolutely not ordinary, definitely is a 'high person', perhaps, still possible is a predecessor, moreover, is one who specializes in the divine sense way, not taking the ordinary path predecessor..."

"Makes sense."

The other two old ancestors all nodded.

Old Mister Xun's expression was complex, somewhat not knowing how to speak properly.

In case this phenomenon really was made by Mo Hua.

He couldn't possibly tell these three cavernous realm old ancestors that the 'predecessor' in their mouths is still just a foundation building small disciple...

These three old fellows would dig a hole to drill into...

Old Mister Xun lightly coughed, and slowly said, "Not so exaggerated, just some slight anomaly, no need to make a fuss."

Old Ancestor Linghu's eyebrows moved, "Old Brother Xun says so, does he know the origin of this phenomenon?"

Old Ancestor Ouyang and Old Ancestor Murong also all looked over.

Old Mister Xun was calm in his heart, he knew these few people were setting a trap for him, trying to get information out of him, and immediately thickened his face, shaking his head and sighing:

"I don't know, I'm old, my old eyes are dim, the golden light flashed, by the time I looked over, only an afterimage was left, I didn't see anything clearly."

Several old ancestors naturally didn't believe him.

Old Ancestor Ouyang said, "You care more about the lineage of Taixu mountain than anyone else, as soon as there's a breeze, the first to know is you, you say you don't know, who can believe?"

"Correct, you also cultivated heavenly mechanism technique, we don't know it's understandable, you say you don't know, it's somewhat self-deceiving."

"No matter what, today you have to give an explanation..."

Old Ancestor Murong was still okay, not saying much.

But the old ancestors of the Taia and Chongxu veins pursued the matter more tightly.

Midnight golden light, divine tree towering, array dao flowing, this kind of heaven and earth phenomenon, just occurred above Taixu mountain.

This kind of strange matter truly made the old ancestors of the Taia and Chongxu veins feel somewhat uneasy in their hearts.

They knew without thinking that Old Ancestor Xun certainly knew something, he was just unwilling to tell them, that's all.

Old Ancestor Ouyang then said, "How about this, Brother Xun, since you are proficient in heavenly mechanism method, then calculate a bit about the cause and effect within, so we can also be at ease."

Seeing that Old Mister Xun still wanted to evade, Old Ancestor Chongxu then said in a deep voice:

"Old Brother Xun, now that our three veins have merged, we ought to advance and retreat together. If you hide and tuck some matters and don't tell us, it will inevitably chill our hearts and damage the friendship of the three veins..."

"No matter what, you have to give an explanation today..."

These words were more formal, and used the friendship of the three veins merging as a reason, making it fundamentally difficult to refuse.

Old Ancestor Murong was also waiting for his reply.

Questioned by the three cavernous realms, the pressure multiplied.

Old Mister Xun sighed slightly.

Cleaning up the mess for this child, Mo Hua, is really getting more and more difficult.

If he weren't the old ancestor of the Taixu gate, perhaps he wouldn't be able to cope.

Not to mention, Mo Hua is just foundation building.

One day if he reaches golden core, or even feathering, how great his ability will be, and how big a mess he will make, Old Mister Xun doesn't even dare to think.

"Alright, then I will calculate."

Old Mister Xun could only compromise.

He re-arranged his compass, listed the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the five elements and eight trigrams, then pinched hand seals, and with a certain qi mechanism guide, let the compass self-match, with the flow of cause and effect.

Old Mister Xun wrinkled his brow, his face serious, looking as if he were truly "deducing", but in his heart he was thinking, what excuse is good.

If it were truly a pure phenomenon, it would still be okay.

But the fear was not of ten thousand, but of one, if this phenomenon was truly the core phenomenon of Mo Hua's divine sense form, then if others investigated, it would involve Mo Hua's body.

Breaking through the foundation building heavenly dao limit, the matter of divine sense form core, once exposed, would trap Mo Hua in great danger.

He is just foundation building, with no power to protect himself.

"Got to find a reason..."

Old Mister Xun fiddled with the heavenly mechanism compass, his thoughts also turning, suddenly his mind moved, his palm trembled, and the heavenly mechanism compass stopped.

Old Mister Xun seemed thoughtful, as if he had calculated something...

"How?" Old Ancestor Ouyang's expression involuntarily became somewhat tense.

Old Mister Xun said, half doubtful, half relieved, "According to the heavenly mechanism cause and effect shown, this phenomenon is an 'auspicious omen' of my Taixu gate..."

"Auspicious omen?"

The three old ancestors were all stunned.

Old Mister Xun solemnly nodded, affirming, "It is a sign of my Taixu gate's 'auspicious omen'."

"What kind of auspicious omen?"

"Golden light filling the sky, divine tree blooming, is that not an auspicious omen?"

"This... In the sect records, is there a precedent? And on whom, what thing, what matter, does this auspicious omen exactly fall?"

"Hard to say, the heavenly mechanism is grand, it won't be calculated out in a while, but it is definitely an auspicious omen." Old Mister Xun affirmed in one breath.

"You said that, isn't it the same as not saying anything?" Old Ancestor Linghu said.

Old Mister Xun sighed, "Heavenly mechanism is just like this, elusive, ambiguous, you need to comprehend it yourself. If you comprehend it, you'll understand, if you don't, saying more won't help."

"You this..."

Old Ancestor Taia didn't know what to say.

Old Mister Xun's words seemed true but not, seemed to have said something but not.

He seemed not to have said anything, but what he said, again had that semblance of reason.

Because the heavenly mechanism cause and effect is indeed this kind of profound, mysterious, hard to grasp thing, being able to calculate an "auspicious omen" is already not bad.

"But without reason, where would an auspicious omen come from?"

"Not without reason..." Old Mister Xun's gaze condensed.

Old Ancestor Ouyang was startled, "How do you say that?"

Old Mister Xun said in a deep voice, "All this, all has cause and effect, in the dark, there is a cause and effect, pushing our three sects to merge, letting our sect, which has been separated for a thousand years, re-merge together, returning to one vein."

"This is absolutely not a coincidence."

"And now, our three sects have returned to one vein, on Taixu mountain, a phenomenon then appears, black night like daylight, golden tree myriad paths open, doesn't this just prove that our three sects merging choice is correct?"

"One day, perhaps we can truly revitalize the glory of the ancient sect of that year, uphold the will of the Qian dao, and become the Qian Xue state boundary's first big sect!"

Old Mister Xun's tone was generous, "painting a pie" for them.

Old Ancestor Ouyang and the other two were indeed shaken for a moment.

"Then is this really... My Taixu gate, the auspicious omen of the revival of one gate and three veins?"

Old Mister Xun nodded, "Exactly."

Old Ancestor Ouyang was silent.

Old Mister Xun had spoken to this extent, he also couldn't question him too much.

Mainly, that dazzling golden light, flowing law phenomenon, saying it's an auspicious omen is indeed not excessive.

Old Mister Xun's expression was somewhat pale, as if the deduction just now had consumed a lot of divine sense, now somewhat unable to support his divine thought, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Old age, poor spirit, deducting for a while, just a bit unbearable..."

The crowd then knew that Old Mister Xun was issuing a "see off guests order".

They also couldn't be so insensible as to dig to the root of the matter again.

Because Old Mister Xun was indeed very old, and deducing heavenly mechanism was indeed very consuming of divine thought.

"Old Brother Xun, you've worked hard..."

"We won't disturb you, take more care."

Old Ancestor Ouyang and the other two said some polite words, then tore open a void crack again, and left one after another.

Old Ancestor Murong walked last, he looked at Old Mister Xun, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Senior brother, are you really okay?"

Old Mister Xun's gaze was cautious, he nodded slightly, "Rest assured."

"Good."

Old Ancestor Murong nodded, and then also left using the void escape method.

The void crack dissipated, and the residence suddenly became quiet.

Old Mister Xun also relaxed and after a moment of silence, couldn't help but murmur in his heart:

"Foundation building realm, divine sense form core, and that I don't know if it's this child causing the heaven and earth divine thought phenomenon..."

Old Mister Xun shook his head.

"I originally thought that boy surnamed Zhuang was already a heaven-defying freak, but I didn't think that this disciple he took, looking not to show off or reveal his strength, but unconsciously, has actually become so 'frightening'..."

"His lineage indeed only produces 'monsters'..."

"Moreover, according to seniority order, Mo Hua this child is still at the very bottom, the last 'monster'..."

Taia gate.

After Old Ancestor Ouyang and Old Ancestor Linghu left, they gathered again.

"Auspicious omen... This thing, did he really calculate it?"

"Why do I feel like he's talking nonsense?"

"Don't know, heavenly mechanism cause and effect, we haven't learned it, it's still whatever he says it is."

"Then what do we do?"

Old Ancestor Linghu of the Chongxu gate sighed slightly, "Just like this."

Old Ancestor Ouyang frowned, "Not pursuing?"

Old Ancestor Linghu shook his head, "Taia casts spirit swords, Chongxu derives sword qi, Taixu transforms sword intent, since ancient times, auspicious and inauspicious in heavenly mechanism, all by the Taixu vein to early warning, spy and cut off."

"You and I two veins are not proficient in the divine sense way."

"He says this is an auspicious omen, then it is."

"Anyway, the three sects merge, one prospers, all prosper, one loses, all lose, if there is benefit, we don't suffer loss, if there is harm, they also can't escape."

Old Ancestor Ouyang thought for a moment, and pondered, "Only can do this..."

The two old ancestors both fell silent, each with their own thoughts, after thinking for a while, Old Ancestor Ouyang couldn't help but say with a grave expression:

"Not to hide it from Brother Linghu, recently, I have always felt somewhat uneasy in my heart, always feeling that not long after... something earth-shaking will happen."

"The current situation is originally just undercurrents surging, if another big matter occurs, it will necessarily stir up a storm, at that time, whether the sect can protect itself, perhaps that is the problem..."

Old Ancestor Linghu's brows were also tightly furrowed.

Cultivating to their realm, they would occasionally have omens of "knowing the heaven's fate".

He also often had similar premonitions.

So seeing a phenomenon suddenly appear at the edge of the sky, a strong unease would arise in his heart.

But what exactly this phenomenon meant was indeed puzzling, they couldn't comprehend it, and Old Mister Xun was also hiding it.

Old Ancestor Linghu thought for a moment, and said helplessly, "Let's take it one step at a time... Hope this phenomenon is really an auspicious omen..."

Old Ancestor Ouyang nodded, and also sighed, "Hope so."

The two old ancestors thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what "auspicious omen" could be within the Taixu gate...

Disciple residence.

Mo Hua sat on the bed, propping his chin, still pondering some matters:

He stealthily ate divine marrow, his divine sense formed core without any sound or echo, according to reason, these are all very "low-key" matters.

"How did Old Mister Xun see the clue?"

"Also, why did he ask me if there was a phenomenon?"

"My divine sense formed core, produced a phenomenon?"

Mo Hua thought about it, and then shook his head, "What phenomenon could I have?"

Moreover, if there truly was a phenomenon, wouldn't there be a little bit of movement?

Mo Hua turned his head and looked out the window towards the entire Taixu mountain.

The mountain court was quiet, the mountain forest deep, occasionally a breeze blew over, the night was peaceful and serene.

The disciple residence was also very quiet.

Including Yu'er, all the disciples were either sleeping, holding candles and reading, or wandering in dreams, nothing unusual.

Mo Hua shook his head.

"Old Mister Xun is a cavernous realm old ancestor, his divine sense is immeasurably deep, it should not be strange that he could know my divine sense formed core..."

Mo Hua no longer bothered with this matter, but collected his thoughts and began to consider the arrangements after his divine sense reaches twenty patterns.

First, naturally, is to keep it secret, not letting anyone know about his divine sense forming core.

This is what Old Mister Xun specially exhorted.

Mo Hua also realized that he is now a "rare species", if discovered, he is very likely to be captured, then sliced, and used for cultivation research on "how to break through the realm limit of foundation building cultivators, and have divine sense first form core".

This cultivation topic, whether others are interested or not, is hard to say, but at least Mo Hua himself is very interested.

Next, is to learn the absolute arrays above twenty patterns.

He has long wanted to learn these absolute arrays, and now he can finally do so as he wishes, and properly research them.

And after that, his array skill will also advance further, breaking through the second grade extreme, and exploring the absolute array domain beyond the grade norm.

And absolute arrays temper divine sense more strongly than general arrays.

Therefore, after learning absolute arrays, his divine sense should still be able to become stronger step by step.

Third, is divine sense way research.

Mo Hua feels that his divine sense existence is now somewhat too complex, divine sense proving dao, divine position, divine rank, divine sense dao transformation, divine marrow, qualitative change, etc...

The structure of a cultivator's divine sense is actually very simple.

The framework of a deity's divine sense, although profound, is also very clear.

But Mo Hua now, is both a person and walks the deity way, equivalent to two frameworks mixed together, so it is very chaotic.

Many deity concepts, and divine sense knowledge, need to be reorganized.

How his divine sense will develop in the future also needs to be replanned.

There are still many things to do, but before this, he needs to first clean up the matter of Gushan city a bit...

Mo Hua considered these matters one by one, and then rarely had a good sleep.

The next day, Mo Hua was just like usual, attending class and cultivating with a group of fellow disciples.

Although Old Mister Xun didn't let him reveal the details, but thinking that his divine sense is now already twenty patterns, at the golden core realm, Mo Hua's smile was simply hard to hide, and when he walked, his waist was also straighter.

"Little senior brother, you look... a bit different..." At lunch time, Cheng Mo looked at Mo Hua and said in a low voice.

"Am I?" Mo Hua blinked.

Cheng Mo nodded, unable to explain for a while.

He just felt that Mo Hua seemed more "profound", more "reserved" than before, and no matter what he did, he didn't emit any aura.

He was a bit like that kind of elder or instructor who walks without making a sound, and suddenly appears in front of you when you are distracted during cultivation.

In short, he was just more difficult to see through...

Mo Hua said, "That's how it is when your divine sense is strong."

Cheng Mo nodded, and exclaimed, "Little senior brother, your divine sense is nineteen patterns now, right?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Almost."

Just one pattern stronger than nineteen patterns.

Cheng Mo was somewhat envious, "Don't know when I can have divine sense as strong as yours, little senior brother."

Situ Jian then said, "Dream about it, you have everything in your dream."

The disciples nearby couldn't help but snicker.

Cheng Mo was slightly angry, "Situ, you're tearing down my stage again!"

Situ Jian took a sip of tea, and said indifferently, "Tearing down your stage? Where is your stage?"

"Alright, later during sword discussion, you and I will spar and see who's better!"

"Didn't you just lose to me yesterday?"

"That was because I was careless for a moment and was tricked by you!"

"Just learn when you win, just practice when you lose, don't make excuses."

"Situ, learn something good from little senior brother, learning arrays is also fine, please, don't learn little senior brother's glib tongue..."

"I just learned..."

A group of people also laughed and argued noisily, the atmosphere was cheerful and lively for a time.

Mo Hua narrowed his eyes and smiled, smiling, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart again.

His divine sense had now formed a core.

And it had been eight years since he started cultivating in Qian Xue, only one more year remained.

A year later, he and these little junior brothers might also have to go their separate ways.

Everyone is from various places in the nine provinces, studying together in Qian state, once separated, they will be like scattered stars, separated by boundless distance, and when they meet again, they don't know what year or month it will be.

Not to mention, whether they will still have the opportunity to gather together like this, arguing and chatting happily with a group of fellow brothers.

Sometimes, the more ordinary and inadvertent the friendship, the more precious it is.

Once it has passed, if you want to chase it back, perhaps you can't get it back.

Mo Hua sighed slightly and took a sip of tea.

The tea was thick and sweet, but with a hint of bitterness...

Thanks to Jiu and Mi and Lu and Dian and Tian for rewarding the alliance master

The alliance master will have an extra update, but I need to rest for a while before adding it.
