Chapter 703: Daoization and Divine Right

These few strands of pure gold divine marrow, with a quality like flowing gold, were dazzling and contained profound mystery, seemingly circulating with the laws of the Great Dao.

According to Huang Shan Jun, pure gold divine marrow was a level higher than light gold divine marrow.

Truly a good thing!

Mo Hua's face was smiling and squinting, then without hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed, sucking all the light gold divine marrow, and a small amount of pure gold divine marrow, into his mouth.

This divine marrow had been purified of "poison" by the tribulation thunder; all the wills within were erased, completely clean.

Mo Hua "ate" very comfortably.

The divine marrow had just entered his mouth when it turned into threads of gold, like bloodlines, seeping thread by thread, wisp by wisp, into Mo Hua's divine sense incarnation.

A stock of ancient and profound law aura covered Mo Hua's entire body.

Mo Hua's divine sense body gradually fused with the gold-colored divine marrow.

His divine sense incarnation gradually became transparent, and on its skin, and inside its "flesh", light gold patterns appeared.

And his eye pupils also revealed a more intense gold light.

In an instant, Mo Hua's eyes became indifferent.

His handsome and cute face became majestic.

A momentum different from ordinary people, surpassing all living beings in heaven and earth, high above, spread out from his divine sense.

Divinity began to swallow humanity.

Mo Hua's facial expressions became fewer and fewer, and the emotions in his memories also became fainter and fainter.

"Not good..."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

He quickly made an effort to recall the divine dao insights he had initially comprehended from enlightenment.

No need to view a god as a "god"...

Humanity is dao, and divinity is also dao.

Cultivators cultivate immortality, seeking the Great Dao.

Whether people or gods, even all things, spirits, and laws in heaven and earth, are themselves part of the "Great Dao" and bear the laws of the Great Dao.

Since that is the case, there is no need to fear "divinity", and no need to hold "divinity" in high regard.

Uphold humanity, temper divinity.

God and human are one, harmonizing with the Great Dao, integrating into the dao heart.

This is the path one must walk!

This is to cultivate the supreme divine sense and prove the Great Dao of heaven and earth!

Inside his sea of consciousness, a clear and ancient sound rang out, and the dao stele trembled and resonated.

Mo Hua was suddenly enlightened, his thoughts clear.

The indifferent and piercing gold light in his eye pupils also gradually converged, becoming gentle, with a compassion that overlooked ordinary people.

The Great Thousand Divine Dao, its edge contained within, was all deeply hidden at the bottom of his eyes.

The gold-colored divine marrow was also gradually divided, absorbed, and turned into tiny divinity "blood threads", circulating along an obscure trajectory, like mysterious heaven array patterns, inside Mo Hua's divine sense body, weaving, and finally thoroughly fusing.

Divine marrow and divine sense as one.

Divinity and humanity unite.

Vaguely, Mo Hua felt that his understanding of the "dao" had deepened by another point, and his dao heart had also "transformed" a little bit.

And at the same time, inside Mo Hua's mind, a word appeared almost instinctively:

Divine sense daoization...

"Divine sense... daoization?!"

Mo Hua was slightly shocked in his heart, then frowned.

He could almost confirm that he had never heard anyone, any evil spirit, or even any god—mainly Huang Shan Jun—mention these four words before.

These four words seemed to be engraved inside the "divine marrow", appearing naturally in his mind along with his comprehension of the Great Dao...

"Divine sense daoization... what does it mean?"

Mo Hua couldn't think clearly.

Divine sense comprehends the Great Dao, becoming one with the Great Dao?

Judging by the name, it should be understood as such.

But is it really that simple?

The Great Dao is vast and boundless, how is it so easy to comprehend? And how exactly does one "become one" with the Great Dao?

Mo Hua's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. After pondering hard, he finally could only sigh helplessly.

He couldn't think clearly...

"My cultivation experience is still shallow, and my knowledge of the divine dao is not proficient enough. Thinking hard behind closed doors and drilling into the horn's tip is also not advisable. I should still find time later to honestly seek advice from others..."

Mo Hua nodded slightly, then temporarily put the four words "divine sense daoization" at the bottom of his heart.

He vaguely felt that these four words, obtained from the "divine marrow" and related to "god" and "dao", were absolutely not ordinary.

After Mo Hua sized up his sea of consciousness again, he found that everything had returned to calm.

Hei Shui He Shen died.

The evil god's will was erased.

The divine marrow was also eaten by himself.

The only thing lacking beauty is that he only ate divine marrow, and had no divine sense to eat.

This Hei Shui He Shen seemed to have thoroughly become an evil god incarnation. Except for the divine marrow, his own evil thoughts had fused with the Great Desolate Evil God's will and were erased together by the tribulation thunder.

And the divine marrow was upgraded, improving the quality of his divine sense.

Only "eating" divine marrow can only elevate his god rank, not the realm of his divine sense itself.

Although in fact it also elevated a little bit, it was very tiny, almost negligible.

After erasing the Hei Shui He Shen, Mo Hua ate quite a lot of divine marrow, even including several strands of pure gold divine marrow of higher rank. His divine sense quality became deeper, the gold color inside his divine sense became thicker, and his divine sense power became stronger.

But without evil spirits to eat, the grade of his divine sense cannot be elevated.

He is still one step away from the seventeen-pattern Foundation Establishment late stage divine sense realm.

It was this one step that made Mo Hua very uncomfortable.

"Is there anything else I can 'eat'?"

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then looked around himself in his sea of consciousness, searching, but found nothing.

Hei Shui He Shen, also an incarnation of the Great Desolate Evil God, died very thoroughly, leaving not a single bit of residue.

"Others'..."

Mo Hua recalled everything before and after entering the fishing village in his mind again, wanting to see if there were any "slip through the net" evil spirits that could make up the gap for him to advance to the seventeen-pattern divine sense.

But, it seemed there were none either.

The He Shen dream realm had collapsed; whatever was inside had not remained.

Outside the fishing village, the demon monsters were flesh, not evil spirits.

Blood leeches?

Those blood leeches also counted as a type of evil spirit.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then shook his head.

It was a bit too disgusting; he didn't particularly want to eat them.

Moreover, although those blood leeches were evil and strange and filthy, the quantity of evil thoughts was not much. Even if he ate them, it would probably only fill the gaps in his teeth.

What's more, they were floating in reality.

Mo Hua didn't have any means to greatly kill divine sense in reality.

His divine sense turned into a sword, just for entry. It was only incomparably sharp and decisive within the divine sense construct dream realm and his own sea of consciousness.

It couldn't be used in reality.

Unlike that senior sword cultivator, who cultivated sword essence into qi, refined qi into intent, combining the sword weapon, sword qi, and sword intent...

Attaching sword intent to the sword, combining virtual and real, could also be used in reality.

Nothing to eat...

Mo Hua sighed.

Hungry for a while, full for one meal. After eating one meal, hungry for a while.

Now he had eaten one meal and was full, but in the next while, there was nothing to eat.

He didn't know when he would be able to eat next time.

"Divine sense proving dao is indeed not easy."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

But a person cannot be greedy. He had eaten both evil spirits and divine marrow...

No one else had such a family background to provide for him, letting him "eat" his fill every day, never being hungry at every meal.

Even if it were an evil god, it would probably be a bit strained.

Mo Hua nodded and exited his sea of consciousness.

Inside the He Shen temple of the fishing village, the meditating Mo Hua slowly opened his eyes, then saw Gu An grasping a black cloth, Gu Quan grasping a stick, and the other people surrounding him, staring like tigers.

Gu An glanced at Mo Hua's eyes, saw that Mo Hua's gaze was clear, and slightly relaxed, but still didn't dare relax too much, then asked:

"Little Young Master..."

Mo Hua smiled and said: "It's nothing."

The crowd then put down their hearts, and Gu Quan also put down the stick.

"Let's go back," Mo Hua said in a relaxed mood.

This trip basically ended perfectly.

Yu Dahe's two children were rescued.

Jia Long was caught.

The other black-clothed people, except those who died, were also all caught.

The He Shen temple's dream realm was destroyed, and the fishing cultivators who were controlled by the evil god and offered faith were mostly saved.

The He Shen was cut off by himself.

Hei Shui He Shen was also tricked to death by himself.

Considered a perfect achievement.

This trip's harvest was also very big.

Basic divine dao array patterns, entry-level divine sense turned into a sword, and the karma clue of the Tai Xu Divine Sense Turned Sword True Formula hidden on that senior sword cultivator's magic treasure broken sword...

Besides, he ate a large amount of divine marrow and a large amount of evil thoughts.

His "god rank" further changed quality.

Although his divine sense still hadn't reached the seventeen patterns, which was a bit of a pity, a person should know when to be content and not be too greedy.

Overall, if not ten points, then nine points satisfied.

The crowd then listened to Mo Hua's instruction and got up to leave the He Shen temple.

Mo Hua was in a joyful mood, and his footsteps were also quite light.

Just as he walked out of the He Shen temple, Mo Hua's heart involuntarily startled, feeling a slight instability.

He always felt that he seemed to have missed something...

Vaguely, Mo Hua had a premonition.

It seemed that if he just walked away like this, it would be equivalent to "buying the box and returning the pearl", missing something very precious...

Very precious... what thing?

Mo Hua furrowed his brow and involuntarily stopped.

Gu An and the others saw this and all stopped, asking in a low voice: "Little Young Master, is something not right?"

Mo Hua shook his head, turned his head to look at the He Shen hall, his eyes revealing thought.

"Not right..."

A "god" is based on an "object".

Divine sense cannot exist apart from reality.

Everything within the evil god's nightmare was also like this.

In reality, fishing cultivators offered faith to the He Shen; in the nightmare, the villagers only knelt and worshipped in the square.

In reality, there were flesh demon monsters raised in the dao field; in the nightmare, there were only demon evil spirits in the back hall.

In reality, there was a He Shen temple; in the nightmare, there was only the He Shen's great hall...

And in the nightmare, there was an "altar"...

Didn't that mean that in reality, there should have originally been a real altar corresponding to the dream realm?

But now, he hadn't discovered the altar in reality.

This was simply very unreasonable.

"Where did the altar in reality go?"

"Or is it that the evil god specially hid it?"

Mo Hua felt this was very possible.

He looked at the He Shen temple, recalled the entire process within the nightmare in his mind again, and then realized a problem.

The pattern was not right.

He was an array master and had built arrays for quite a few cultivation buildings. He was somewhat sensitive to building patterns.

The He Shen great hall in the dream and the He Shen hall in reality had different patterns.

The He Shen great hall in the dream was more spacious in pattern.

The He Shen hall in reality, at first glance, didn't feel like anything was wrong, but now that he had exited the dream and looked at it again, he clearly felt that the pattern was a bit narrower and shorter, just like...

It had been separated in the middle?

Mo Hua's heart was slightly shocked. He went back inside the He Shen temple, released his divine sense, and sized up everything for a while, finally discovering a clue.

Divine dao array!

Inside the He Shen temple, there was a very obscure aura of a divine dao array.

Mo Hua stuck to the wall, followed the aura, gradually distinguished it, and traced its source little by little, finally discovering a wall behind the He Shen statue.

The divine dao array was obscurely engraved inside the wall, covering the aura behind the wall.

Mo Hua's eyes brightened, and he turned his head to say: "Brother Xiao An, Brother Xiao Quan, help me break through this wall!"

Gu An and Gu Quan were stunned for a moment, but they didn't refuse.

The two of them joined forces, spent about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and with the strength of Foundation Establishment late stage, they hard-chiseled through the wall.

The wall itself was not reinforced with arrays and was only sealed with a divine dao array to cover the divine sense aura.

So it was only hidden, but not sturdy.

After the wall was chiseled through, a stock of intense, evil and strange aura rushed out.

It was the evil god's aura!

And within this stock of aura, there was also a kind of profound, complex, and difficult to describe ancient flavor.

As if it were the ancient laws of a god.

Mo Hua involuntarily thought of the inexplicable longing that surged in his heart when he first stepped into the fishing village and saw the soil dyed blood-red.

His little heart thumped.

A hole was broken in the wall, and it was gloomy inside.

Mo Hua released his divine sense outside the wall, peeked inside, and discovered that there was no other aura, and no evil spirits. Then he said to the crowd:

"I'll go in and take a look, you wait here."

Gu Quan said uneasily: "Little Young Master, it's gloomy inside, there might be danger. We'll go with you."

The others also nodded in agreement.

Although they didn't know what was behind the hole, the deep aura revealed inside also involuntarily made their hearts tremble with fear.

Inside here, it seemed not like a place for "people" to stay.

Mo Hua said solemnly: "There is an array arranged inside, it is very dangerous, so I can go in, you cannot."

Gu An and Gu Quan were startled, then involuntarily both nodded, feeling very reasonable.

If the array was dangerous, then it was indeed not good for them to go in. Rashly going in might even make things worse...

As for array matters, they could only leave it to Little Mo Young Master.

Mo Hua saw that they understood, then instructed:

"You stand guard, I'll go in and take a look."

"Good." Gu An and the others nodded and said: "Young Master, be careful."

So Mo Hua then walked through the hole into the secret passage hidden behind the He Shen statue.

The secret passage was dark but not long, only a few dozen steps. Mo Hua then walked to the end.

At the end, there was dim candlelight, passing through gloomy green, mixed with nightmare-like blood fog, giving it an ancient and terrifying feeling.

But vaguely, it was a bit familiar.

Mo Hua walked to the end, looked up, and indeed saw an altar.

The furnishings of the altar were almost the same as in the nightmare.

In the center was a He Shen statue cast from gold stone, with a human body and a fish head, and two sheep horns grafted on top of its head, making it evil and strange.

Below the He Shen statue was an offering table.

On the offering table were fish and fresh offerings, but they seemed to be mixed with human bones and flesh.

In the middle of the offering table was a glazed fish tank.

But the offerings had already rotted, and the fish tank only contained dead water.

He didn't know if it was because the nightmare had shattered, the evil god had been killed, or because the offerings had no master. The entire altar was a scene of decay and dead silence.

Mo Hua walked around the altar twice, didn't discover anything good, pondered slightly, then reached out to push the He Shen statue.

The He Shen statue was cast from gold stone and placed on the altar. It wasn't big, but it was a bit heavy, and Mo Hua pushed it with some effort.

But he was after all already Foundation Establishment.

In the boundary of the fifth-grade Qian Xue State, surrounded by Foundation Establishment prodigies and even genius body cultivators, his physical body was naturally considered weak.

But compared to ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, even Qi Refining body cultivators, Mo Hua's physical body was barely passable, not entirely "hands without the power to bind a chicken".

He could still push the statue.

Of course, a general Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't go and compare their physical body with a Qi Refining cultivator... except for Mo Hua.

Mo Hua exerted the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to push down the He Shen statue, then followed its natural trajectory and sat down himself.

The moment he sat on the altar, a path of ancient divine essence grandly descended.

It was the same as when he was in the Bi Mountain demon cave before.

Suddenly, it seemed as if demon monsters bowed their heads, all spirits worshipped, and endless divine dao profundities gathered at the center of the altar, "offering" Mo Hua's respected position.

But this time, it was a little different.

This was an altar that had already been built and formally operated.

And Mo Hua was also not what he used to be.

His divine sense, after swallowing a large amount of divine marrow, had further changed in quality, taking a big step further towards the "god's rank".

The divine marrow inside Mo Hua began to circulate, his whole body emitted light gold light, his eye pupils also turned dark gold, and his gaze was majestic, deep and immeasurable.

As if a true "god" had descended to the world through the altar.

A "true" god descending to a true altar.

The altar welcomed its "master" and would naturally endow its true authority.

Mo Hua's divine sense trembled, then he felt endless Great Dao laws, in front of him, disorderly like rain, like meteors crossing.

Paths of light condensed and woven, changing non-stop, then gathered together, forming a stock of endless and vast light flow.

Like towering trees in general, rushing up to the sky, branching out and leafing, covering the entire heaven and earth.

Mo Hua sat steadily on the altar, his eyes clear, looking at these ultimately beautiful, yet ultimately terrifying laws flowing light, light and dark interwoven, gathered as one, forming a Great Dao torrent like a Tongtian Jianmu general, involuntarily lost in a daze.

On the altar, light flashed, seemingly positioning.

A moment later, heaven and earth were silent.

Mo Hua then discovered that he was located on a divine light tree.

This tree was constituted by flowing light, or rather, by a part of the Great Dao laws.

But this tree was not considered small, but it was far from the vast and boundless towering tree formed by the Great Dao torrent, covering heaven and earth.

This was a tree of Great Dao laws.

This tree symbolized a part of the laws, and also symbolized... a god's authority.

Mo Hua's mind moved slightly.

The altar had mistaken him for its "master", so it communicated the god's Great Dao, ceding the god's authority to him, and this symbolized the god's authority...

Divine right tree?!

Mo Hua's divine sense moved, and indeed he felt that he seemed to have fused with the divine right tree.

The divine right tree was already under his control.

Just...

"What is divine right?"

"A god's authority? Specifically what authority?"

"And, whose divine right tree is this?"

Hei Shui He Shen's?

Mo Hua thought about it, feeling that it shouldn't be. The altar appeared to offer the He Shen, but in reality, it should be offering the Great Desolate Evil God.

Then what he stole... was the Great Desolate Evil God's authority?

Mo Hua's heart jumped.

He sized up the divine right tree that was connected to his divine sense again, and discovered that on the divine right tree, the branches and leaves were lush, with many nodes.

But most of them, especially the top part, were covered in fog.

With his current ability—whether it was divine sense power or god rank—he could not push aside the fog and covet the top divine right.

That is to say, he only stole a part of the Great Desolate Evil God's authority?

He seemed to still not have the qualification to touch the true top divine right.

Mo Hua nodded slightly, then continued to research the divine right tree.

The divine right tree had deep roots, lush branches and leaves, and numerous nodes at the branch joints.

And each node seemed to correspond to a god hall, an altar, an evil god incarnation, and...

Numerous demon monsters and evil spirits...

Mo Hua's heart became more alarmed the more he looked.

This was the "authority" of a true god.

Raising minions, developing forces, and borrowing the god tree's authority to command thousands upon thousands of demon monsters and evil spirits.

But, Mo Hua still hadn't thought clearly...

How did the divine right tree command? And how did it operate?

What exactly was the Great Desolate Lord's divine power?

Commanding demon monsters, and how did the demon monsters attack?

Mo Hua furrowed his brow and pondered for a long time, his thoughts still somewhat messy.

Just at this moment, Mo Hua's gaze suddenly startled.

He discovered that in the middle of this divine right tree, there was a node that was abnormally bright.

This node seemed very important, very special, and there was no evil, filthy, or bloody qi inside. Instead, there was a stock of pure and dense child aura.

This stock of aura was very familiar.

Mo Hua's gaze slightly condensed, and he said in a low voice:

"Yu Er..."
