Chapter 1064: Mystery Heaven

On the border of Qian Xue Prefecture, at Lun Dao Mountain, within the Guan Jian Tower.

A multitude of aristocratic family and sect elders were still gathered in the grand hall. From this highest point of Lun Dao Mountain, the Guan Jian Tower, they surveyed the situation, oversaw the overall state of affairs, and continuously issued orders to command the various forces in Qian Xue to suppress the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array.

But now, the situation had changed once again.

The Blood Sacrifice Great Array, which had been suppressed by various forces and contained by the Dao Court Department, the spread of which had been restrained, suddenly rekindled its flow of light. Carrying blood-red light and malevolent energy, it continued to spread towards the periphery of Qian Xue.

Many elders slightly furrowed their brows.

"The evil array masters are mostly dead or injured. This Blood Sacrifice Great Array was originally outwardly strong but inwardly weak. Why has it revived from the ashes?"

"Is someone secretly helping these evil demons again?"

"Who?"

Elder Xun pondered slightly, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.

He then hid his hand in his sleeve, formed a hand seal, calculating cause and effect. His face was like an ancient well without ripples, but his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"It shouldn't be... Did Mo Hua, that child, lend a hand?"

Elder Xun's eyelid twitched slightly.

If this were truly the case, then the matter was extremely serious.

No matter the reason or motive, helping demonic cultivators and constructing the Blood Sacrifice Great Array were unforgivable heinous crimes.

He, as an elder, absolutely could not protect him either.

This child!

Elder Xun's face grew solemn, and his heart was also suspended.

Most of the Cave Void elders present would not be able to deduce this matter. They wouldn't guess it in a while.

But there were also some Cave Void elders who had a slight understanding of the heavenly mechanism method, or who, although they didn't understand the heavenly mechanism technique, were meticulous in their thinking and detected something amiss.

Although they showed no change in expression or spoke a word, they all cast obscure glances towards Elder Xun, with a hint of gloating hidden in their eyes.

Mo Hua, this child, was too prosperous.

Not only was his talent in array formations monstrous, but he also mastered a technique dao that was almost similar to the terrifying forbidden technique of Tai Xu Divine Thought Transformation Sword True Decrees. If he were allowed to develop like this, they truly didn't know what kind of monster he would cultivate into in the future.

But they were Cave Void elders, with high virtue and prestige. On the surface, at least, they had to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Dao Court. It was impossible for them to truly act as they pleased, and even more impossible for them to tear face and make a move against a Foundation Building realm junior.

Furthermore, not long ago, Mo Hua had saved their respective sect families' direct descendants and heavenly pride from the Blood Sacrifice Great Array. This, more or less, was also considered a significant "favor."

If favor turned into enmity at this time and this cause and effect were ruined, the consequences would be difficult to predict.

And looking at the current situation, it seemed that they didn't need to worry.

A righteous path disciple of astonishing talent falling into a demonic den and associating with evil demons would, without question, be subject to all kinds of temptations: cultivation, fame, power, women, and so on, present everywhere.

As long as one was a normal "person," they wouldn't be able to hold on.

Even if they did hold on, it was hard to guarantee they wouldn't make mistakes.

Now it seemed, what Mo Hua had done was more "excessive" than they had thought. He actually dared to help these evil demons draw the evil dao great array.

Truly ignorant and fearless, bold as brass.

But this matter, a crowd of Cave Void elders, was actually happy to see it happen.

If Mo Hua became a demonic cultivator, they could rightfully, in the name of exterminating demons and guarding the dao, order Mo Hua's death.

Righteous and demonic did not stand together; no one would have anything to say.

Even if Mo Hua kept his conscience and was unwilling to associate with demonic cultivators, his "crimes" were right in front of them – a whole sky-covering Blood Sacrifice Great Array. There was no way to quibble. He would ultimately find it hard to escape death.

At the very least, his cultivation would be abolished and he would be expelled from the sect.

This matter didn't even require these Cave Void elders to personally make a move. They only needed to borrow momentum, let the Dao Court Department make a move to "exterminate demons," or coerce Tai Xu Gate to "clean up the portal" themselves.

Like this, Mo Hua, this hidden danger, would be resolved.

And their hands would still be clean.

Gradually, more and more Cave Void elders understood this principle clearly.

Naturally, there were also more and more gazes, adding insult to injury, looking towards Elder Xun of Tai Xu Gate.

Of course, some people also had complex gazes.

A genius is born, a genius is captured, a genius enters demon, a genius falls...

Tai Xu Gate, in such a short period, had experienced so many ups and downs and twists, which made people sigh.

Elder Xun's face also naturally became more and more solemn.

These various thoughts all lingered in the hearts of the crowd of elders.

Of course, no matter what happened to Mo Hua, they couldn't ignore the Blood Sacrifice Great Array.

"Send more manpower to kill the array masters in the great array."

"The periphery of the evil dao great array, and the cultivators along the line, all withdraw and gather towards the Qian Xue Prefecture boundary. We cannot let the demonic cultivators kill people again, so as not to nourish the great array's evil energy."

"Seal the passes of the great array. If evil demons emerge, then strike head-on..."

"Build another array along the way to restrain the trend of the great array..."

Of course, although these measures had some effect, they were all "treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

Although the evil dao great array was troublesome, the most troubling thing was possibly the terrifying existence being nurtured within the great array.

All the Cave Void cultivators present, more or less, had a premonition of this point.

"The girl from the Wenren family, send people to protect her, and..." A Cave Void elder with a clear and thin face and immortal-like aura spoke, "Have you sent people to Xuan Ji Valley to invite Elder True Person Situ?"

Another Cave Void nodded, "Invited."

"When will he arrive?"

"Just in the next few days."

The clear-faced elder nodded slightly.

They were Cave Void, with high realms and strong cultivation, but this didn't mean they could master every hundred industries in the cultivation world.

Cultivation refinement alone required them to invest the majority of their time and energy.

The mundane affairs of sects and families were also very demanding.

Besides, being able to spend more effort and research carefully into one or two cultivation skills in alchemy, array formations, talismans, and artifacts was even more precious.

Each had its specialty.

They only had a slight understanding of most side branches and obscure cultivation knowledge, and fundamentally couldn't master them.

Especially the attainments and methods of divine thought.

The way of divine thought was formless and without substance, illusory and unfathomable, constantly changing, encompassing various categories such as heavenly mechanism, cause and effect, praying for blessings, warding off disasters, seeking good fortune, avoiding calamity, divination, exorcising evil, slaying evil, revering gods... and so on, profound and obscure, as vast as the stars.

Such inheritances were originally extremely difficult to learn, requiring painstaking dedication from a young age, even after learning, it was difficult to gain fame, and often criticized by outsiders, smeared with absurd words about gods and ghosts and techniques that confused the mind.

And in the current cultivation world, cultivating dao but not cultivating the heart, in people's eyes, they only valued spiritual roots, physique, family heritage, fame, power, influence, and many other external things.

Therefore, the divine way was increasingly declining, and many pieces of knowledge and methods related to divine thought were already on the verge of being lost.

Up to now, there were naturally few forces that had complete inheritances.

Among them, one was Xuan Ji Valley.

Elder True Person Situ of Xuan Ji Valley, even if he was only at the Featherization cultivation, because of his lifelong bitter cultivation, his dao conduct in heavenly mechanism and cause and effect divine thought was very deep. When traveling outside, he received quite a lot of courtesy from various aristocratic families and sects, and was even treated as an honored guest by some Cave Void elders.

In the depths of the current great array, the cause and effect were trembling, and massive evil thoughts were breeding. Only Elder Situ of Xuan Ji Valley, who had rich experience, could break the situation.

At least, he could peek through the evil fog, see through the truth, and find a resolution method.

Of course, in Qian Xue Prefecture, there were also some Cave Void elders who cultivated heavenly mechanism and cause and effect methods.

But cultivating heavenly mechanism and cause and effect, or being able to seek good fortune and avoid calamity, didn't mean one could necessarily slay evil and exorcise.

In the way of divine thought, one was "calculating," and the other was "killing."

The difference between these two was as vast as heaven and earth.

Even the divine consciousness for killing had different categories such as killing ghosts, killing evil, and killing troubles.

The way of divine thought was extremely troublesome and full of hidden dangers.

So these Cave Void elders were cautious and dared not act lightly.

Of course, this didn't mean they did nothing. They only needed a "professional" person to give pointers and ideas, so as not to violate taboos.

After a while, the clear-faced Cave Void elder suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, where is the Xiao family elder? Why haven't I seen him?"

At this time, all the Cave Void cultivators who cultivated heavenly mechanism and cause and effect had already gathered in this Guan Jian Tower, waiting for Elder True Person Situ, but only the Xiao family elder was missing.

The Xiao family elder also cultivated heavenly mechanism techniques.

The more people there were, the greater the strength. It was always good to have one more person helping.

"The Xiao family elder seems to still be in closed-door cultivation. His cultivation seems to have encountered a bit of a problem," said an elder who knew the inside story.

"Cultivation encountered a problem..."

The clear-faced elder slightly frowned.

Not far away, Elder Xun's pupils also slightly constricted, feeling something was amiss...

Inside the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array.

Within the city of flesh and blood.

Mister Tu was still leading Mo Hua towards the inside of the city. They walked all the way to the center, in front of a grand and gloomy great hall piled up with white bones.

Mister Tu knelt down, bending his body.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and felt that according to reason, he should also "pretend" and kneel down like Mister Tu to show his "piety" towards the Great Desolate Lord.

But unfortunately, his bones were a bit stiff. Even if he forced himself, he couldn't kneel down, so he simply gave up.

Thus, Mister Tu was kneeling while Mo Hua was standing.

And Mister Tu was indeed someone who did great things. He didn't mind Mo Hua's minor rituals and didn't find it strange.

Mister Tu knelt piously on the ground. After a moment, he seemed to have received some permission. Only then did he get up and reach out to push open the gate of the white bones hall.

A muffled sound rang out.

The sound of bones rubbing against each other was somewhat eerie, mixed with ear-piercing sounds that were either sharp, wailing, sad, or fearful.

The white bones gate slowly opened.

Everything behind the gate was presented before Mo Hua.

What came into view was a labyrinth of flesh and blood. Within the labyrinth, it was filled with grand and ancient, profound and complex, but also evil array patterns.

This was an ancient array formation.

Mister Tu's expression began to become fanatical, and his gaze was also filled with longing, excitement, anticipation, awe, and other complex emotions.

"This is the core of the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array. It is the array formation for the transformation of flesh and blood into a god!"

Mo Hua's expression was startled. When he saw everything in front of him clearly, his eyes gradually widened, and his gaze revealed a look of unbelievable shock.

He was not shocked by the labyrinth of flesh and blood.

Nor by the profound wonder of this array formation.

But he was shocked that he actually knew, and had also learned, and was even very familiar with, the core array formation of the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array...

This was... Mi Tian Great Array!

Stripped of its flesh and blood exterior, the central core of the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array, which the Great Desolate Evil God used to revive, was unexpectedly... the Mi Tian Great Array!

And the bottleneck of his Tian Yan Jue was also the Mi Tian Great Array!

Mo Hua sucked in a breath of cold air.

A wave of unbelievable emotions impacted Mo Hua's heart, causing his pupils to shake violently, and his face showed an uncontrollable look of shock.

Tian Yan Jue, Mi Tian Great Array, Evil God revival...

All these linked together, making Mo Hua's thoughts chaotic for a time, and even faintly feeling some fear at the bottom of his heart.

Mo Hua forced himself to calm down.

Everything in front of him now had cause and effect.

Moreover, this matter, tracing back to the source, also had traces to follow.

From the beginning, the array patterns engraved on the bronze labyrinth inside Bi Mountain Demon Cave were a part of the Mi Tian Great Array.

Inside the Dragon King Temple in Yan Shui River, it was a white bones labyrinth.

In the middle of the white bones labyrinth, although there were evil arrays, they had not yet formed, obviously also intending to build the Mi Tian Array formation, but it had not yet been built.

And now, the flesh and blood labyrinth used for the Evil God's birth, the core of the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array, was naturally also a formed "Mi Tian Great Array."

The Mi Tian Great Array was related to the "metamorphosis" of divine thought.

The Evil God needed to borrow the Mi Tian Great Array to revive!

Then this Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array was essentially... an evil dao variant array of the Mi Tian Great Array.

"I should have thought of it earlier..."

Mo Hua's heart was shocked, and his pupils lost their spirit.

And his appearance of "shocked and lost spirit" in Mister Tu's eyes also satisfied Mister Tu.

Only a genius could recognize the extraordinariness of this ancient array formation, the blood flesh transform god's labyrinth.

Only a true genius could be attracted by the grandeur and profound wonder, yet also dangerous and cruel, array formation great dao, and be shocked at heart.

Ordinary mortals could not see the true meaning of this blood sacrifice array formation.

Only Mister Tu, as a servant of the Evil God, did not realize at all what Mo Hua was exactly "shocked" about.

After a long time, Mo Hua finally suppressed the thousands of emotions in his heart, and his face calmed down a bit.

Mister Tu nodded slightly and asked Mo Hua:

"How is this array formation?"

Mo Hua slightly opened his mouth and said with some loss of voice:

"Too... profound, too difficult... I... have never seen such a powerful array formation..."

Mister Tu nodded and looked directly into Mo Hua's eyes, "Do you... want to learn it?"

Mo Hua's gaze trembled, "You... are truly willing to teach me?"

Mister Tu said, "Although I am an evil demon, I keep my word. Since I promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word."

Mo Hua's face struggled.

"But do you have any scruples?" Mister Tu asked.

Mo Hua hesitated and said, "This is the center of the Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array. It uses blood as ink, flesh as a medium. It is a blood flesh great array. If I learn it, won't I... truly become an evil array master?"

Mister Tu's expression was disappointed, "Didn't I tell you, and you've forgotten? Sticking to righteous and evil views, being blinded by appearances, how can you peek through the great dao of array formations? Is your perspective only this small?"

Mo Hua showed shame, his heart struggling repeatedly, but he still hesitated and was undecided.

Mister Tu sighed and said, "Alright, let's take it step by step."

He didn't force Mo Hua and said in a relaxed tone:

"You have an obsession with righteous and evil. Then I won't force you. I will teach you the original version of the ancient array patterns, without staining evil force, without borrowing human skin and flesh."

Mo Hua's expression was shocked, and he said with sincere gratitude, "Many thanks, Mister Tu."

"No need to thank me, but I have something to say first," Mister Tu looked at Mo Hua, his gaze deep, "The original version of the ancient array patterns is awkward and obscure. If you don't borrow external force, you won't understand it, let alone learn it or draw it."

"Like this, even if I teach you, but you can't learn it or draw it, it's equally meaningless. You'd best have an idea in your heart."

Mo Hua nodded and said seriously, "I understand. If I can't learn it, it's because I am incompetent. No matter what, I will remember your favor, Mister."

Mister Tu "ummed" a bit, led Mo Hua to a corner of the blood flesh labyrinth, and handed him an ancient remnant scroll. On the scroll were several strange array formations.

"Comprehend array formations from simple to complex. You first learn from the most basic..." Mister Tu said.

"Yes."

Mo Hua nodded, took the remnant scroll, and stared at it. He discovered that these several array formations, in terms of brushwork and array style, were indeed as if from the same source as the Mi Tian Great Array he encountered when breaking through the Tian Yan Jue. His heart was slightly relieved.

But on his face, he showed a pensive expression, as if the current array formation was something he had never seen before, and was extremely profound.

Mister Tu looked at Mo Hua and said in a serious tone:

"You can comprehend these array formations yourself, but you cannot take them away. You can only learn them in this blood flesh labyrinth..."

"If you learn, I will teach you the next steps. How much you can learn all depends on your own fortune."

Mo Hua's expression was nervous, as if he was afraid he wouldn't learn and would miss this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. He immediately said solemnly, "I will certainly do my best."

Mister Tu nodded with gratification, and then admonished with a solemn face:

"This blood flesh labyrinth is a forbidden ground of the divine lord, extremely dangerous. I will shut you in here. Remember not to run around or be curious, otherwise if you provoke the divine lord's wrath, I won't be able to save you either."

Mo Hua nodded, "I remember."

Mister Tu's pale palm gently brushed, and the surrounding array patterns emitted light. The flesh and blood wriggled and closed up, surrounding Mo Hua on all sides, forming a small "blood flesh prison" to trap him in it.

After doing all this, Mister Tu left. It seemed he still had other matters to attend to.

Mo Hua then honestly sat inside the blood flesh prison, pondering the remnant scroll Mister Tu had given him, and comprehending the array formations on the remnant scroll.

After looking for a while, he took out paper and pen, spread them on the ground, and tried to draw.

He drew the first time, wrong.

Mo Hua frowned tightly and began to draw the second time, then the third time...

But the more he drew, the more wrong he became. Mo Hua felt even more that he couldn't grasp the knack, and his brows furrowed tighter.

But he still tediously drew, time after time...

Until the Yin cold feeling in his divine thought intuition dissipated, and Mister Tu's divine thought completely left, only then did Mo Hua slowly let out a breath.

But he was not careless. He pretended again and drew six or seven times, each time drawing incorrectly. After confirming that there were no anomalies around and no evil or strange divine thought watching him, he put down his pen and ink and was completely relieved.

The Mi Tian Great Array was engraved in his sea of consciousness. Looking at it a few times was enough. Where did he need to practice so many times...

Although the Mi Tian Great Array in his sea of consciousness, which he had integrated when breaking through to Foundation Building, was of the first grade.

What Mister Tu gave him was of the second grade.

But being of the same root and origin, learning it would be a lot easier.

Mo Hua looked around again. His eyes were filled with disgusting flesh and blood, and shocking blood-colored array patterns.

"Huang Tian Blood Sacrifice Great Array, Mi Tian Great Array, blood flesh labyrinth..."

There were still many deeper secrets inside here that Mo Hua couldn't figure out.

Especially those related to the Tian Yan Jue gongfa that Master had given him, and the origin of the Mi Tian Great Array related to the Evil God...

But time was pressing now, and there was no time to ponder these.

Mo Hua looked at the bloody and ferocious blood flesh labyrinth around him.

Based on his many years of experience in Qian Xue Prefecture, his repeated dealings with the Evil God, and his accumulated rich experience, Mo Hua was almost more "professional" than anyone else when it came to the Evil God.

He could almost instantly know that within this blood flesh labyrinth, there must be an altar hidden. Near the altar, there must be a god statue standing, and on the altar, there must be a sacrifice.

This sacrifice was Yu'er.

And that god statue was highly likely to be the sheep-horn white bones Evil God statue that Second Elder had mentioned, enshrined by Mister Tu.

That is to say, the person he wanted to save and the things he wanted were not far away.

Mo Hua showed a thoughtful expression, his pupils were deep, and a sharp golden light flowed within.
