Chapter 892 The Magic Way

The nature of the Demon Sect is completely different.

Since Mo Hua entered the Qianxuezhou realm, he often followed the Dao Tingsi to collect bounties. Now he can distinguish these evil demons more clearly than before.

Sinful cultivators refer to cultivators who have violated the Dao Law.

These cultivators may be righteous cultivators and practice righteous skills, but because of selfishness or impulse, they have committed crimes such as murder, theft, robbery, defilement, and sexual intercourse, and thus were wanted by the Dao Tingsi.

Sinful cultivators wander in the gray area, and most of them cannot be distinguished from good and evil from their skills.

Even some sinful cultivators who have killed people and committed crimes can still live a dignified life in front of others as long as they find a way to cover up their crimes and give themselves a high-sounding identity.

The premise is that his crimes are not discovered by others.

And the Dao Tingsi cannot track them down.

The nature of evil cultivators is even worse, and they can be distinguished from their skills and Dao laws.

Evil cultivators refer to cultivators who have gone astray or become possessed by evil spirits during their cultivation and have learned certain magic techniques and spells.

Evil cultivators turn from good to evil and mostly act alone.

Occasionally, there are groups of them, but they are also independent and just get together temporarily. Their own techniques and Taoist systems are different.

Demon cultivators are different.

They gather together with a clear purpose and a unified leader, and commit evil deeds in an organized and planned manner.

The inheritance of these demon cultivators is also systematic. They practice the same kind of magic techniques, raise the same evil weapons, and use the same Taoist methods.

The magic inheritance system is the most obvious difference between demon cultivators and evil cultivators.

Mo Hua didn't take this too seriously at first, but later, after more contact, he felt that the magic techniques were a bit strange.

He consulted Gu Changhuai and some Dao Tingsi executives who were on the front line to arrest demon cultivators, and then he understood the insidious and terrifying aspects of the magic inheritance system...

Whether it is good or evil, cultivation requires "resources".

The resources for the cultivation of the righteous cultivators are spirit stones.

The resources for the cultivation of the demon cultivators are people.

Or, "people" are the "spiritual stones" of the demon cultivators.

The righteous cultivators, relying on their own efforts, extract spirit stones and refine spiritual energy. Although it is slow, they steadily cultivate step by step towards the great way.

This process is the righteous way, but it is boring, hard, and too slow.

So the demon cultivators took another path, to kill, to rob, to deprive others of the blood and spiritual power that they have cultivated with great effort.

This kind of cultivation is faster and more murderous.

But when cultivating demons in this way, there will be a bottleneck after a certain level.

That is, relying on one's own strength to kill, rob, and deprive is still too slow.

Therefore, some powerful demons will develop "downlines".

These demons pass their own skills to several disciples, and let these disciples go out to kill, rob, and absorb blood and spiritual power for him.

Part of the absorbed blood and spiritual power will be digested by these disciples themselves, but most of it will be "offered" to the demon.

Because the magic skills of the demon disciples are passed on by the demon, the progress and retreat of their cultivation, the strength of their Taoism, and even their own life and death are all controlled by the demon.

They have to submit.

And if these demon disciples who are controlled by the demon want to become stronger, they must be independent and develop "downlines".

They have to recruit disciples, pass on skills, and then absorb spiritual power and blood from their disciples, and gradually become stronger.

The disciples of the disciples pass it down...

In this way, layer by layer, the wider the magic skills are spread, the more disciples the demon sect has, the greater the power, and the more "blood" and "spiritual power" of the righteous cultivators they absorb.

In this way, the more offerings the initial demon ancestor receives, the stronger his cultivation will naturally be.

This is the "teaching" system of the demon sect.

There will be some exceptions to this system, but it will not change in general.

Exploitation and oppression, blood sucking and soul sucking, and offering to the upper level.

The end point of evil cultivation is the demon cultivator who teaches skills.

The end point of demon cultivator is the demon sect that preaches the way.

And the end point of the demon sect is the "Great Demon Palace" led by the Demon Lord, who is above hundreds of millions of people, raises countless "blood slaves" and "spiritual slaves", eats people to the bone marrow, and monopolizes everything...

This is the secret that Mo Hua found out after combining the sect's classics and asking around.

Of course, now that the Dao Court is unified, it promotes the righteous law, kills demon cultivators, and burns all demonic skills and classics.

The "Great Demon Palace" has been lost in the long history of the cultivation world, and few people mention it anymore.

But as long as there is greed, anger, and ignorance in human nature, there will be demons.

It is difficult to eradicate demon cultivators.

The way of preaching in the demon sect naturally survived.

Moreover, compared with the gray sinners, the lone evil cultivators, and the mixed ordinary demon cultivators.

A demon sect with a certain scale, the same inheritance, a tight structure, and like a plague, can spread through "teaching the art" -

Even if it is a small demon sect, it has stronger organization, greater destructive power, and higher danger...

"The one that has recently emerged in Qianxuezhou is a demon sect that practices blood magic."

"The demon cultivators in the demon sect will suck the flesh and blood of the cultivators. At present, they have committed three major crimes: destroying a second-grade small family, a small village outside the fairy city, and nearly a thousand cultivators in a cultivator gathering..."

Gu Changhuai looked solemn.

Mo Hua also frowned.

"Not only that," Gu Changhuai said, "these demon sects are still developing 'downlines', spreading their magic skills, and further expanding their power. The difficulty of the Daoting Division in handling them is also increasing..."

"Is the leader a great demon cultivator in the Jindan period?" Mo Hua asked.

"Yes," Gu Changhuai nodded, looking stern, "and there is more than one, there are probably more than a dozen Jindan elders in the demon sect..."

More than a dozen Jindan...

Mo Hua took a breath of cold air.

In the vicinity of Qianxuezhou, more than a dozen Jindan demon cultivators are really amazing.

Among the many forces of cultivation, Dongxu is guarding one side, and is an ancestor-level figure. He will not take action easily and basically does not move around.

The top figures walking outside are the ones who have passed away.

When the demon and righteous cultivators besieged the master in Lishan City in Dalishanzhou, the highest level of cultivation sent out was Yuhua.

At that time, he was still young, his cultivation was low, his vision was shallow, and his feelings were not deep.

Now that I think about it, so many Yuhua Realm Real People are basically the "top" combat forces that can be mobilized by ordinary big forces.

Mo Hua even guessed that the mysterious "Mr. Tu" who was hiding behind the scenes among the followers of the Great Wilderness Evil God should only be Yuhua.

Mo Hua has encountered quite a few Yuhua Realm Real People. It may seem nothing, but he is only building his foundation now.

If he really wants to cultivate on his own, it will be a long way to go.

Below Yuhua is Jindan.

Even in some big families, Jindan is the backbone of the family.

Not to mention, in these second- and third-grade small fairy cities around Qianxuezhou.

In these places, the Fire Buddha and Water Yama at the peak of foundation building can still run rampant.

These Jindan Realm demons with the inheritance of the Demon Sect, organized and planned, are undoubtedly a huge "disaster".

Mo Hua sighed.

But this is a Jindan game, and he, who is at the foundation building stage, can do nothing about it.

If he really dares to enter the game, he will be beaten to death in minutes.

He has fought for so long against a Fire Buddha at the peak of the foundation building stage, not to mention these ten or so Jindan cultivators from the Demon Sect.

"Will the Daoting Division send more people?" Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai said: "I can't tell you the details, but the Daoting Division has already begun to transfer Jindan-level officials from nearby states to help. After all, the emergence of the Demon Sect is a big deal wherever it is placed, let alone in the Qianxue state where there are many sects..."

Mo Hua nodded, and then looked at Gu Changhuai worriedly.

"Uncle Gu, you should be careful too."

The matter of the Demon Sect is not a joke.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing." Gu Changhuai said.

Although he said so, his expression was very solemn, and it was obvious that this matter was not easy.

Mo Hua sighed slightly in his heart.

Uncle Gu is like this. He is a bit arrogant in his bones. He will bear the suffering by himself and will not speak to others if he can.

"Okay, just be careful anyway." Mo Hua said.

The blood-sucking demon sect, more than ten golden elixirs, he really can't help much.

Gu Changhuai nodded, "Don't worry."

...

After the New Year's Banquet, the head of the Gu family personally sent a carriage to send Mo Hua back to Taixu Gate.

After a few days, the New Year's Festival ended.

The new year began.

This is Mo Hua's seventh year in Taixu Gate.

From this year on, it is the school year of the late foundation building.

Only Mo Hua is still in the middle stage of foundation building.

He also officially became the first and so far the only disciple of Taixu Gate who directly entered the late foundation building semester with the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building.

Mo Hua seemed a little "out of place" because of this.

What's more out of place is that a group of disciples in the late stage of foundation building still have to call him "little senior brother", which makes him feel very pressured.

His junior brother not only failed to set an example, but also fell behind and became the last one.

He didn't repeat a grade because of his relationship.

More importantly, all the disciples that Mo Hua knew, whether it was Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Hao Xuan, Yang Qianjun, Linghu Xiao, or Xiao Mutou, all successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building.

He was the only one in the middle stage of foundation building.

Mo Hua felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, his first priority from then on was to break through the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

After that, Mo Hua concentrated on practicing.

Finally, one morning a month later.

Mo Hua practiced as usual.

One by one, he refined the spiritual stones into pure spiritual energy, which traveled along the meridians, went through the great cycle, and converged in the sea of ​​qi, and precipitated into spiritual power in the form of mercury water.

Over and over again, Mo Hua practiced calmly, without rushing or being impatient.

And finally, the water dripped through the stone.

Mo Hua's Qi sea trembled, and his spiritual power boiled. The meridians and acupoints all over his body were a little hot.

This is a sign that his practice has encountered a bottleneck.

Mo Hua's spirit was lifted.

But the breakthrough of Tian Yan Jue is different from ordinary exercises.

After all, this is an ancient exercise, strange and remote, and it does not take the usual path.

After the spiritual power in his body boiled, it did not break through, but scattered some small gossamer, overflowing from the meridians, wandering along the tiny veins, and gradually converging to Mo Hua's Baihui acupoint.

When it reached the Tianmen acupoint, these spiritual power gossamer threads, like silk threads, formed a curtain, broke through the barriers of flesh and blood, and penetrated into the inner sea of ​​consciousness.

In the end, the spiritual power intertwined with the sea of ​​consciousness, and complex formations appeared, forming a series of obscure formations. They were continuously fused and weaved, just like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, and a dragon spider spinning silk, turning into a large mysterious formation like a spiritual curtain. .

Mo Hua had seen this scene since he was in the Qi Refining Realm, and he had seen it many times.

Looking back now, the whole process is similar.

But this time the bottleneck is a little different.

The formation pattern is more advanced, the mystery formation is more complex, and the volume is larger.

These are not the most important points. The most important thing is that the color of the mystery array is pure gold.

This is the color of the essence.

In other words, it is the color of "spiritual consciousness".

Mo Hua approached the mystery array, and compared the color of his spiritual incarnation with the color of the mystery array. He found that the "golden sparkle" on his body was far less pure than the gold of the mystery array.

This also means that the level of "Taoization" of one's own spiritual consciousness cannot meet the requirements of Tianyan Jue.

Mo Hua tried to communicate with the mind power of the mystery formation and use it to break the formation.

But floating in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the mysterious array formed by the interweaving of spiritual power and mental power, each stroke is like being injected with gold water, as heavy as a thousand pieces.

Mo Hua tried his best, but with his spiritual will, he couldn't mobilize it at all.

This also means that he is not even qualified to "break the mystery array".

Mo Hua took a breath of cold air.

Although he had already made some mental preparations, Tian Yanjue's "abnormality" still exceeded his expectations.

With your current state of spiritual consciousness, you are not qualified to practice?

Who was learning this ancient skill in ancient times?

Is it really reasonable to set such a high threshold?

It’s impossible to learn it from a mythical beast or a god, right?

Or is it that the ancient monks were all "abnormal" beings with powerful spiritual thoughts?

Mo Hua was speechless.

He sat down and looked at the golden mystery array in the sky. He suddenly felt helpless and couldn't help but sigh.

But difficulties are difficulties, and we have to find ways to overcome them. Sighing is of no use.

Moreover, after all, this is the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building and the last big hurdle before the golden elixir. Once passed, the next step is to form the elixir.

Form a pill!

Mo Hua was refreshed and began to calm down, thinking about how to break through the bottleneck.

From the current point of view, the bottleneck of Tianyan Jue has two requirements:

One is the degree of qualitative change of spiritual consciousness, which is what Huangshan Jun said, the state of "Taoization" of spiritual consciousness.

This state is expressed in the color of the essence.

The other one is a mysterious array of spiritual curtains that fills the sky made of spiritual power and divine thoughts.

But for today's ink paintings, the mystery array is actually easier to handle.

His attainments in the second-level formations, especially the second-level formations in the Five Elements and Bagua categories, have become so perfect that even Mr. Xun was very impressed.

Therefore, if he can solve the puzzle, it will only take a while at most.

The only problem is that the state of spiritual consciousness and Taoism, ink painting is still far behind.

If you want to improve the state of spiritual consciousness and enhance the degree of qualitative change of spiritual consciousness, you must swallow the "divine marrow".

And it seems that the essence of "mosquito legs" at 1:00 and 2:00 is not enough.

Eat a lot of marrow.

It’s the marrow again…

Mo Hua had a headache.

He thought about it for a while, and if he wanted to eat the divine marrow, the first method would be as always, starting with the Great Wild Evil God.

Find an altar, kill the divine corpse, refine the divine marrow, and then swallow it to transform your divine consciousness.

But now the situation is a bit bad.

Using his identity as an "evil fetus" and the authority of the altar of the Dragon King Temple, he erased the blood-sucking list and extinguished the souls of all the evil gods' minions on it.

Mr. Tu was so anxious that he jumped over the wall. Since all the second-grade minions were dead, he simply used the third-grade golden elixir.

Jin Dan's game is beyond his reach.

In addition, there is still the hidden danger of evil fetus in himself.

Of course, even if there is no evil fetus, it is not suitable to run around now.

Because he is now "number one in cadres and the leader of the formation", he can be considered a "celebrity".

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

He is extremely "strong" now and is being watched by many people overtly and covertly.

Mo Hua himself did not expect that one day his unknown disciple would be burdened by his fame and become tied up.

And because of this, he will have to stay in the Taixu Gate for the next period of time, and try not to go out as much as possible.

In this way, even if all the mechanisms are exhausted, there seems to be only one way out:

Kill the evil fetus.

By cutting off the evil fetus in his life soul and refining its marrow, he can further transform his spiritual consciousness, break the bottleneck of Tianyan Jue, and reach the later stage of foundation building.

However, Mo Hua has thought about the idea of ​​"killing the evil fetus" many times.

The question is not whether he wants to kill him or not, but that he has not yet succeeded in killing the god. With his method, he cannot kill the evil fetus at all.

He has been practicing the Taixu Divine Sword.

Every day he would take a blow to his own soul.

Every time the sword is struck, the evil fetus becomes weaker.

But he had been cutting it for so long, and the evil fetus seemed to be getting weaker day by day, but no matter how he cut it, it still stuck to it like a dog-skin plaster, and its vitality was extremely tenacious.

Mo Hua was not sure how many times he would have to kill the evil fetus.

He can also speed up his progress and make more sword cuts every day.

But in this way, the load on the soul will increase, and "spiritual essence" will be needed to repair it.

This leads to a dead end.

The divine marrow is needed to repair the divine sword and kill the evil fetus.

But only by killing the evil fetus can one obtain the divine marrow.

Without the divine marrow, the evil fetus cannot be killed, and if the evil fetus cannot be killed, the divine marrow cannot be obtained...

This is almost a dead end.

Mo Hua sighed. He spent the next few days thinking about this matter.

But this "dead knot" is not so easy to untie.

…

A few days later, it was another seven-day period.

Mo Hua drew the formations and reviewed his kendo lessons, then sat in the disciples' quarters, waiting for Patriarch Dugu to come and catch him.

After a moment, a crack in the void flashed.

Mo Hua's eyes were in a trance for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had reached the forbidden area of ​​​​the back mountain, and the mountain was full of dilapidated sword tombs.

Ancestor Dugu continued as always, teaching Mo Hua swordsmanship, and then taking Mo Hua's kendo lessons to the school, and finally letting him hold a bamboo sword to chop wood as hard as stone.

Ink painting followed suit as always.

When Mo Hua was chopping wood, Patriarch Dugu frowned slightly and kept looking at him.

After cutting for half an hour, Patriarch Dugu suddenly shook his head and said: "No..."

Mo Hua was startled, turned around and asked, "Ancestor, did I cut it wrong?"

"You did the right thing," said Patriarch Dugu, "but it was too slow. With your current progress, if you want to achieve success in swordsmanship, you will have the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse."

"And when you become successful in your swordsmanship and can learn how to transform your sword with spiritual thoughts, maybe by that time, I will have been beaten to death by you."

Ink painting: "..."

"Ancestor, you are Dongxu, you will definitely live for thousands of years." Mo Hua said.

Ancestor Dugu looked indifferent: "Don't say such nonsense, I can see my own life and death clearly."

"Then..." Mo Hua scratched his head, "I won't practice anymore?"

Ancestor Dugu shook his head, "I've thought about it, you need to practice in a different way."

"Another way?"

"Yes." Ancestor Dugu's eyes were sharp and he seemed to have seen through everything. "You are different from others. You have to take a different path, otherwise your pearls will be covered in dust and your talents will be buried."
