“You aren’t drawing?” Mister Tu’s gaze was cold and gloomy.

Mo Hua resolutely said, “I’m not drawing.”

“Why?”

Mo Hua righteously said, “I am a disciple of the first of the eight major upright gates, Tai Xu Gate. I am the leader of the Qian Xue array path, an upright cultivator. How can I possibly be in league with you and draw this kind of wicked and strange great array?”

Mister Tu then said, “Rest assured, you won’t be drawing an evil array.”

Mo Hua scoffed, “A blood sacrifice great array, isn’t that an evil array?”

“You don’t need to worry about this. Anyway, the array I want you to draw doesn’t involve human bones, human skin, human blood, human ink… nor does it contain evil path array patterns. It’s a proper five elements and eight trigrams array… what do you think?” Mister Tu asked patiently.

Mo Hua thought for a bit, then still shook his head, “I said, I am an upright cultivator, I cannot be in league with you and help you draw an array.”

Mister Tu saw Mo Hua’s stubborn face, his gaze slightly narrowed. He paced back and forth behind the prison door twice, then asked Mo Hua in a deep tone:

“Have you learned great arrays before?”

“I…” Mo Hua paused, then coldly snorted, “Naturally I have learned.”

Mister Tu’s gaze was icy cold, containing a heart-piercing sharp edge. He naturally saw through Mo Hua’s “hesitation” and coldly laughed, “Have you truly learned?”

Mo Hua couldn’t speak.

Mister Tu’s voice again held temptation as he asked, “Do you want to learn?”

Mo Hua tightly pursed his lips, his expression wavering.

Mister Tu said in a low voice, “This is the first opportunity in your life to personally participate in the construction of a great array. This opportunity is hard to come by in a thousand years, something you might encounter but not seek. Even if you stay at Tai Xu Gate and learn arrays your whole life, you may not have this opportunity again.”

Great array projects are vast, involving a large amount of manpower and resources.

Unless a world-shattering change occurs to resist a powerful enemy, or a new sect or family rises to establish a mountain gate and build a sect-protecting great array.

Otherwise, there would be no great array projects.

Although Qian Xue State is a fifth-grade major state, powerful and wealthy, it has been peaceful for a long time. The hierarchy of families and sects is solidified, and for several thousand years, there hasn’t been a single great array project started.

Even if there were a force that wanted to build a great array, with so many families, sects, and array master schools in Qian Xue State, and with such deep distinctions between them, it’s unlikely they would invite a disciple of Tai Xu Gate like Mo Hua to participate.

Mo Hua naturally understood these situations clearly in his heart, and his face showed an obvious expression of conflict.

This conflict was seen by Mister Tu.

Mister Tu didn’t force Mo Hua, but sighed slightly, his hoarse voice carrying some regret:

“I thought you had good talent and wanted to give you this opportunity to help you advance, but since you don’t know how to cherish it, then forget it…”

After speaking, Mister Tu turned around and left.

Seeing Mister Tu about to leave, Mo Hua was clearly a bit anxious and hurriedly said, “Tu… Mister…”

Mister Tu turned his head, his gaze indifferent, looking at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua gritted his teeth and asked, “The Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Great Array… is it an evil path great array, right…”

Mister Tu said, “Since you are an array path leader and have extraordinary talent, you should understand that good and evil are just the appearance of arrays; the inherent array principles are the same.”

“An upright path array, learned by someone with a non-upright heart technique, can become an evil array.”

“But if an array master with a firm Dao heart and a body full of upright thoughts looks at an evil array, they can also comprehend the essence of the array.”

“Truly talented, clever, and world-comprehending people, in their eyes, good is good, and evil is evil. Both good and evil are just one side of the Dao, and neither good nor evil can influence their Dao heart.”

Mister Tu’s words were half-true and half-false, subtly flattering Mo Hua and making him feel that he was the kind of talented, clever, and Dao-heart-firm person that Mister Tu spoke of, someone who could see through the appearance of the world and whose original heart wouldn’t change regardless of good or evil.

Mo Hua’s face then showed self-satisfaction, as if he also felt he was this kind of talented person Mister Tu spoke of.

“Good, I will draw the great array for you!” Mo Hua said.

Mister Tu nodded slightly.

In this world, the more genius someone is, the more easily they become self-important.

The more genius someone is, the more easily they are tempted.

What’s more, this is a great array. As long as an array master has a pursuit in arrays, none can resist the temptation of a great array.

So-called genius array masters are even more unlikely to resist.

“Follow me,” Mister Tu said faintly.

The prison opened, and Mo Hua followed behind Mister Tu again, walking out of the Great Wild Prison. Along the complex and gloomy tunnel, they went towards the underground on the other side of the Evil God Temple, continuing to walk to the deepest part, arriving in front of an extremely grand foundation.

Blood flowed like a river underground, splashing out blood flowers.

Yin qi permeated to the bone, and blood qi rushed to the nose.

Three massive cliffs stood erect, leaning against each other.

Above the cliffs, dense floating ladders hung. Above the floating ladders, one by one, evil array masters in blood robes held bone pens, dipped in blood ink, and drew evil arrays.

This was a scene of the construction of an extremely grand evil path great array.

Compared to the scene when Mo Hua originally participated in the main construction of the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Array, this was even more vast.

Mister Tu brought Mo Hua in front of one of the cliffs.

This cliff was different from the other two. The edges were being used to draw evil arrays, but the middle was empty.

The white bones used as array mediums were removed and replaced with normal jade stone array mediums.

The blood ink was also replaced with normal Five Elements spirit ink.

As the former main array master of a first-grade great array, Mo Hua only needed to glance once to understand the situation before his eyes.

Mister Tu’s blood sacrifice great array was not advancing smoothly.

Perhaps due to the plan of Old Ancestor Dong Xu, the suppression by various forces in Qian Xue, the encirclement by the Dao Ting Si, and the insufficient manpower of evil array masters… and other reasons, the progress of the blood sacrifice great array was severely hindered.

To such an extent, Mister Tu had to think of another way, change his approach.

Mister Tu’s idea was to further downgrade the great array’s combined patterns and use a combination of good and evil.

With insufficient manpower, they could only further downgrade and simplify the patterns, using second-grade arrays to fill the structure of a quasi-third-grade great array.

Similarly, by now, the “materials” for the blood sacrifice great array were definitely also insufficient.

The Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Great Array required a large amount of slaughter.

Only by creating a large amount of slaughter could they have a large amount of human skin, human bones, human flesh, human blood… to be used as array medium materials for evil arrays.

But now the minions of the Evil God were suppressed by the forces of Qian Xue on all sides and could no longer slaughter cultivators on a large scale.

This also meant they fundamentally had no way to obtain more “resources” for evil arrays.

A clever woman cannot cook without rice.

In the situation of scarce evil path resources, Mister Tu had no choice but to use upright path arrays as temporary transitions to act as the “bridge” for the array hub’s operation.

Downgrading and combining patterns make the structure unstable. Combining good and evil also leads to conflict between spirit force and evil force.

But at least like this, they could ensure the initial “completion” of the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Great Array.

First complete it, then consider perfecting it, then consider perfecting it.

If it’s not completed, everything is empty talk.

Mister Tu indeed lived long and had very rich experience as an old array master. His ideas were extremely practical and correct.

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

If it were him, he estimated he could only reach this level.

Of course, on the surface, he still had a blank expression and asked Mister Tu some “idiot” questions:

“Isn’t this a third-grade great array? Is it useful for me to draw a second-grade array?”

“Can upright path arrays and evil path arrays be compatible? What if they’re not compatible?”

“With such a large foundation, why are there only so few array masters drawing arrays? Where are the other array masters? Were they killed?”

Some of these questions involved basic great array principles. It was normal for Mo Hua not to understand, and Mister Tu answered them one by one.

Among them, there were also some “digging” words, which Mister Tu just pretended not to hear.

After finishing, Mister Tu handed a jade slip to Mo Hua.

Inside the jade slip was the most basic structure of this blood sacrifice great array. A large part of the evil arrays had been erased by Mister Tu and replaced with Five Elements Eight Trigrams type arrays. These arrays were specifically left for Mo Hua to draw.

“Draw these arrays on the cliff in front of you. This is your task,” Mister Tu instructed.

Mo Hua glanced at it, and his face instantly showed dissatisfaction. He asked Mister Tu:

“Didn’t you say you would let me participate in the construction of the great array? Drawing these basic arrays, isn’t this just asking me to ‘do odd jobs’?”

I am the upright leader of the Qian Xue array path, doing odd jobs for you?

Mo Hua’s face was unhappy.

Mister Tu said, “Without accumulating steps, there is no reaching a thousand li; without accumulating small streams, there is no forming rivers. A great array is built from these basic arrays. Learning great arrays also requires starting from the most basic places. You cannot aim too high and lose the foundation.”

Mo Hua reluctantly nodded, feeling there was some truth to it.

But just as he was about to move his hand, he seemed to think of something again and cautiously said:

“That’s not right. If I draw these arrays, wouldn’t that be associating with evil demons? If the sect elders and old mister knew, I would definitely be expelled from the sect and would not be able to be a disciple of Tai Xu Gate in the future…”

Mister Tu said, “You are drawing upright path arrays, not evil arrays. How could you be expelled from the sect?”

Mo Hua insisted, “But you are a demon cultivator, and I am drawing arrays for you. Isn’t this helping the tyrant?”

Mister Tu slowly corrected, “You are not ‘for’ us drawing arrays, but are being coerced by us to protect your life, and have to draw some arrays.”

“You are being ‘coerced’. This is not your fault.”

Mister Tu emphasized this point.

Mo Hua was startled, “Really?”

Mister Tu nodded, “Really.”

Mo Hua then relaxed, but just as he was about to start, he felt it was still not right. He looked at Mister Tu suspiciously:

“After I finish drawing the arrays, you won’t abandon me when I’ve served my purpose and take my life, right?”

Mister Tu was annoyed in his heart and secretly scolded this little rascal for being so cautious.

But things had come to this point, and he could only continue to persuade him with good words:

“Rest assured, your identity is special, and you are of great use to the God Master. I will not kill you. If you can draw the arrays well, it will be a great merit. The God Master will remember your merit and will not treat you badly…”

Like this, Mister Tu said good things and bad things, coaxing Mo Hua to be willing to draw arrays for him.

Mo Hua finally began to move his pen, but after only drawing two strokes, Mo Hua stopped again and shook his head, “Still not right.”

This time, Mister Tu finally couldn’t hold back and said with anger, “What is it now?”

Mo Hua pointed to the white bone hoop above, with a bit of grievance and helplessness, “My divine sense is sealed by you, I can’t draw arrays…”

Mister Tu paused, then remembered that this child’s Sea of Consciousness was sealed by the Great Wild holy object.

With his Sea of Consciousness sealed, he couldn’t communicate with gods, and his divine sense was also limited, so naturally he couldn’t draw arrays.

But… untie his seal…

Mister Tu felt uneasy in his heart.

But after hesitating for a moment, he eventually considered the overall situation, prioritizing the great array. He extended a pale finger and pointed at Mo Hua’s forehead. A blood thread seeped into the white bone tooth symbol, untying Mo Hua’s seal.

In that instant, his mind cleared. The divine light in Mo Hua’s clear eyes flashed, then gradually converged again, returning to nothingness.

Mister Tu’s heart pounded slightly, but when he looked carefully, he didn’t detect anything unusual about Mo Hua, so he said:

“Can you do it now?”

Mo Hua nodded, “No problem.”

“Draw the arrays then.”

“Okay.”

Mo Hua picked up his pen, dipped it in spirit ink, and contrasting it with the array diagram jade slip Mister Tu gave him, he began to draw arrays on the cliff in a systematic manner.

With his array attainments, he could comprehend the basic arrays used for constructing these great arrays with just a glance. There was fundamentally no need for Mister Tu to say anything more.

Mister Tu was not surprised either. This was the strength Mo Hua should have as an array path leader.

Mo Hua drew the arrays very quickly as well.

All the array diagrams were perfectly familiar to him. His pen lifted like flowing clouds, moved like flowing water, and the array patterns under his pen were not only accurate but also carried a natural aura of pure azure divinity.

But Mister Tu still frowned.

He knew that Mo Hua could actually be faster.

This child was still hiding his clumsiness and not giving his full effort. It was obvious that he was deliberately delaying and didn’t truly want to draw the arrays for himself…

Mister Tu’s gaze slightly narrowed, but he didn’t say anything.

Like this, Mo Hua drew arrays for more than half a day, until evening. When his divine sense was truly tired, Mister Tu let Mo Hua go back to rest.

He still locked Mo Hua in the Great Wild Prison and newly sealed Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness with the white bone holy object, to prevent Mo Hua from thinking of anything on his own and stirring up trouble by borrowing the power of gods.

Mo Hua still maintained a dutiful appearance.

He rested for a night in the Great Wild Prison. The next day, he was again brought by Mister Tu to the blood sacrifice foundation to draw basic arrays for the great array.

Mo Hua still used his pen and ink to draw the arrays in a systematic manner. His speed was the same as the previous day.

After drawing for a day, his Sea of Consciousness was again sealed, and he was locked in the large prison.

On the third day, he continued to draw like this.

But Mister Tu couldn’t stand it anymore.

Although Mo Hua drew quickly and drew quite a few arrays, compared to the grand structure of the great array, it was still like a drop in the bucket. This was far from reaching his “expectation” of Mo Hua.

Mister Tu’s expression was icy cold as he asked Mo Hua, “Your speed in drawing arrays isn’t just this, is it?”

Mo Hua had a serious face, “I always draw arrays like this, always at this speed. I’m already doing my best…”

This skill of talking nonsense made Mister Tu’s eyelid twitch.

“No need to deceive me,” Mister Tu said with a cold laugh, “That day at the discussion sword assembly, I was also present and personally saw you draw arrays.”

Mo Hua saw his “lie” exposed, his face turned pale, and he simply pursed his lips and didn’t speak.

Mister Tu’s gaze slightly narrowed. He thought that this child indeed had many careful thoughts and a thick skin. Trying to trick this child into drawing arrays might truly not be easy.

When dealing with this kind of genius, rather than threatening, it is better to lure with profit…

Mister Tu thought for a moment and said, “If you finish drawing all the arrays on this cliff face, I promise you, I will personally teach you how to draw the core array hub of the blood sacrifice great array.”

“Core array hub?!”

Mo Hua was startled, then his eyes lit up. He asked, “You will truly teach me?”

Mister Tu nodded, “I will absolutely not break my promise. As long as you finish drawing the arrays on this wall, I will teach you.”

Mo Hua gritted his teeth, struggling internally, but his desire for great arrays seemed to outweigh reason. He nodded and said:

“Good, it’s a deal!”

Mister Tu nodded, his gaze cold, feeling pleased in his heart.

Under Mister Tu’s layer of “temptation,” Mo Hua finally took the bait.

And with the “core array hub” as the bait, Mo Hua no longer held back and began to seriously put in his full effort.

He threw away the pen in his hand, placed all the spirit ink on the ground, then sat cross-legged. His expression was solemn, and his entire aura instantly deepened.

A vast and thick divine sense rippled out from around Mo Hua’s body.

The spirit ink in the bottles trembled and boiled, pulled by Mo Hua’s divine sense. It fused with Mo Hua’s powerful divine sense, then like silk threads, one by one, they rose into the air, flying and dancing.

Mo Hua’s gaze showed a sharp edge, and he pointed forward.

The chaotic fine threads of spirit ink, receiving Mo Hua’s command, as if they had a life of their own, instantly flew and rolled forward like spirit snakes. They wound through the air and, with even swifter speed and a god-like structure, orderly formed an array on the stone wall.

Mo Hua’s divine sense poured out like a river.

But his speed in drawing arrays was ten times faster.

Mister Tu just watched from the side.

He wasn’t seeing this scene for the first time. Before, he had seen a shadow of Fang Tian’s painting. Although he was somewhat shocked to see a shadow painting, he ultimately didn’t see it too clearly.

But now, seeing it on site, the impact on his heart and the shock he felt were truly hard to describe.

In this world, are there actually people who draw arrays in this way?

Mister Tu’s pupils trembled slightly.

He, too, who was about to ascend, could control ink with his divine sense, but he absolutely couldn’t do it like Mo Hua, controlling it precisely, reaching the finest detail, changing in myriad ways, flowing like clouds and water without any obstruction.

What’s more, Mo Hua was drawing a second-grade high-level array at the same level.

This was even more inconceivable.

Arrays of the same realm were originally difficult to learn and difficult to draw. Normal array masters used array pens and held them firmly, drawing with great effort. Not to mention not using a pen and directly controlling ink with divine sense to form an array.

Drawing on the ground to form an array is even harder to say.

This required a special opportunity and comprehension of the essence of earth dao.

Comprehension is metaphysics.

If you can comprehend, then you can understand. If you can’t comprehend, no matter how you learn, how you practice, how you cultivate, you still won’t understand.

Even if this Mo Hua received divine favor and borrowed the great power of a god to have such absurd array attainments, even without this “god,” his own array talent and comprehension were also extremely shocking.

Such a monster, if he could be brought under command, corrected from good to evil, step onto the evil array master path, and again receive the “blessing” of the Great Wild Master, just how strong could his arrays be? It was simply unimaginable…

Mister Tu’s gaze trembled.

Mo Hua was still concentrated, like a “monster,” manipulating the spirit ink like “tentacles,” drawing arrays with all his might.

Having a goal gave him motivation, and Mo Hua drew even faster.

When he was tired from drawing, he would just rest and recover his divine sense, then continue drawing.

He kept drawing like this until evening.

Inside the great array, the blood qi was gloomy, making it hard to distinguish day and night, but as cultivators, they could still feel the existence of the sun and moon.

In the evening, Mo Hua was supposed to go back to prison.

But Mo Hua was a bit reluctant to go back. He asked Mister Tu, “Or, I’ll just stay here and continue drawing arrays?”

Mister Tu’s eyebrow twitched slightly, “You… don’t need to rest?”

Mo Hua nodded, “I want to work hard and finish drawing the arrays earlier.”

Since Mo Hua said so, Mister Tu couldn’t refuse.

So Mo Hua stayed and continued day and night, throwing himself into the “construction” of the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Great Array…

Mister Tu looked at Mo Hua with a deep gaze. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

Strong talent, high comprehension, divine favor, persistence in arrays, and can be so diligent, not giving up day and night, drawing arrays day and night.

He had much higher talent than others, and he put in more effort than others.

No wonder his array level could be so high.

Truly, he is an “array path monster” that cannot be reasoned with…
