Don’t forget, what exactly was Wan Yao Gu built for…

So many cultivators were taken for experiments, various demon patterns were fused into their bodies, making them fall into demon cultivation. The purpose is to keep trying and failing, keep iterating, constantly fusing, and ultimately cultivate this “dragon.”

What does “dragon” mean?

The Si Xiang Dragon Pattern, a divine beast pattern that only the true Great Wilderness imperial family is qualified to refine. Once refined, the body carries the power of the Azure Dragon, the skin is like dragon scales, firm and unbreakable, the roar is like a dragon’s roar, majestic to the extreme, all ten thousand demons submit and dare not disobey…

What you cultivate is the Bear Demon path, although very strong, but you haven’t really eaten “bear heart and leopard gall,” and you’re delusionally thinking about hitting on Brother. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died…

But, I see Brother he…

Shut up, don’t mention this matter again!

Mo Hua held the guest elder token, looking at the text deciphered from the magnetic pattern, his expression was startled, but a storm surged in his heart.

Dragon Pattern!

Divine Beast Pattern!

Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array Pattern?!

The biggest purpose of Wan Yao Gu cultivating so many demon cultivators is to utilize the huge number of demon patterns, constantly iterate, constantly optimize, and thus finally cultivate this pair of Azure Dragon Patterns?!

No wonder…

No wonder when Tu Xian knew the situation was not good in Wan Yao Gu, he didn’t hesitate at all and directly “destroyed the corpses and erased the traces.”

All the demon cultivators were ordered by Tu Xian to go to their deaths.

The Si Xiang Demon Patterns on the demon cultivators’ bodies also all self-destructed, exploding into a pool of blood mist.

Furthermore, all array diagrams, books, and jade slips were either transferred or completely destroyed, not leaving a trace.

He didn’t dare to leave even a bit.

He was afraid of leaving clues and being deduced by people through the remaining arrays, following the vein of array principles, to figure out his scheme.

Tu Xian’s true intention is to restore the true Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array, which possesses the power of divine beasts and is nearly extinct in its inheritance!

What a great ambition…

If Mo Hua hadn’t utilized the Yuan Ci technique at this time, penetrated into the Demonic Sect, and unintentionally spied on these messages, he would have never thought that Tu Xian actually had such ambition.

So that’s it…

Wan Yao Gu is used to research and experiment with the Si Xiang Azure Dragon Pattern…

The Dragon King Temple on Yan Shui He should also be related to this matter…

Dragon King Temple, dragon blood, dragon bone…

Wan Yao Gu researches the array, and the Dragon King Temple provides materials.

Mo Hua also thought of that Mr. Wu in the Dragon King Temple who could transform into dragon scales and become a monster, invulnerable to swords and guns.

Looking at it this way, that Mr. Wu is also a “test product” of the Azure Dragon Array?

Or, he also utilized the research of the “Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array”, and thus to a certain extent, possessed the unbreakable power of the Azure Dragon?

Mo Hua gradually connected everything.

At the same time, a bold idea also gradually arose in his heart:

Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array…

How about just… my natal magic treasure…

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and then slowly thought:

“Tong Pi Tie Gu” is just a general term for a type of magic treasure form. Its core is to use some special spiritual materials, with secret refining, alchemy, and array methods, attach them to the skin, or implant them into the bones, to achieve the purpose of strengthening the physical body.

But its essence is still a layer of external “skin armor,” or “armor” built into the bones.

For body cultivators, this set of “Tong Pi Tie Gu” is naturally both offensive and defensive, extremely powerful.

But for me, it’s still not quite suitable, still lacking some “soul.”

And now, Tu Xian’s scheme is considered to have given me a direction:

Array!

Tong Pi Tie Gu is just a form. My spiritual consciousness proves the Dao, and I walk the path of arrays. My natal magic treasure should naturally be related to “arrays.”

And in front of my eyes, there seems to be a most suitable array:

Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array.

Abandon its bloody and demonic methods of the Demonic Sect, and with the casting method of “Tong Pi Tie Gu”, take this pair of “Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array” as my own natal magic treasure, fuse it into my physical body, transform the skin into dragon scales, and control the power of divine beasts!

Mo Hua’s mood was a little agitated for a while, then he calmed his heart again and thought carefully:

But this Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array was meticulously researched by Tu Xian, who knows how long he plotted and how much effort he spent. It is definitely not so simple…

First is the materials…

Dragon blood… I don’t have it in my hand…

Mr. Wu of the Dragon King Temple, he can transform into dragon scales, so he definitely ate dragon blood, but he died decisively and left no clues, so the only way is to… find it in the Dragon King Temple?

Or, find it in the Demonic Sect. The “Brother” in the mouth of the Golden Core demon head, which is the leader of the Demonic Sect, since he cultivates the Si Xiang Dragon Pattern and nurtures the Azure Dragon power, it is impossible for him not to have dragon blood.

Dragon meat… I don’t know if I need it or not.

Dragon bone…

Mo Hua’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of, “That… natal dragon bone idol in the Dragon King Temple!”

This idol was cast from dragon bone, hidden deep in the main hall of the Dragon King Temple. After I found it, I hid it in a small fishing village and used it to house the little silver fish.

Subsequently, Mo Hua frowned again.

But this dragon bone idol has an ancient aura and mysterious power, and the cause and effect are too great. I may not necessarily be able to fuse it into my body.

Even if fused, I’m afraid it won’t solve the problem of repulsion between the dragon bone and the human body.

Moreover, the general melting and casting method of “Tong Pi Tie Gu” should not be able to fuse the dragon bone into the cultivator’s physical body.

This is “dragon” bone.

Even if it is only the bone of an ordinary river dragon king, the powerful power contained within its muscles and bones is absolutely unbearable for a cultivator.

What’s more, my physical body has always been weak.

Not only the dragon bone, but also other problems.

The Si Xiang Demon Patterns in Wan Yao Gu, which utilize evil array methods, raise the Azure Dragon divine beast pattern, are probably not the proper “Azure Dragon.”

If so, putting this evil array on my body is not just equivalent to entering the demonic path?

Also, this Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array, according to the demon cultivator, is a divine beast pattern that only the true Great Wilderness imperial family is qualified to refine.

Since this is the case, if I want to refine this Azure Dragon Array and inherit the power of the Si Xiang divine beasts, should I also have bloodline requirements?

My body does not flow with the blood of the Great Wilderness imperial family, will I have the qualification to refine the Azure Dragon Pattern?

These are still only the problems I can think of for now…

This kind of powerful, ancient, nearly lost, unprecedented Azure Dragon Array, which even Tu Xian had to use the lives of countless demon cultivators to research, if I truly want to start refining it as my natal magic treasure, the difficulties I will encounter will probably be many more…

Mo Hua’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Too difficult, too many problems…

Mo Hua was entangled in his heart, but after thinking for a long time, he hesitated several times, and ultimately made up his mind:

Never mind, I’ll just pattern myself with a dragon!

Choosing an ordinary Core Formation magic treasure is relatively stable and carries no risks. But no risk means only “mediocre.”

Refining the Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array, I don’t need to think to know that it will be extremely dangerous and difficult. But it is precisely because of this that it is worth pursuing.

The “natal magic treasure” is cultivated mutually throughout a cultivator’s life, accompanies the cultivator throughout their life, and lays the foundation for Core Formation. It is one of the biggest “watersheds” for Golden Core cultivators.

Many direct descendants of prominent families even start nurturing magic treasure embryos from the age of three.

Mo Hua was originally far behind these family disciples in terms of spiritual roots, physical body, and foundation. If he didn’t choose a good natal magic treasure, the gap in cultivation on the surface will only widen in the future.

If he didn’t know about this Azure Dragon Array, he wouldn’t have had any thoughts.

But since fate coincided and he learned about it, that is another matter.

An opportunity that is hard to come by in a thousand years is right before his eyes. Even if it is difficult, he must try it once.

Otherwise, if he misses this opportunity, it will be too late to regret it in the future.

What’s more, the matters he will do in the future, whether saving his Master or seeking the myriad laws and attaining Dao and becoming immortal, will all be more difficult.

If he retreats now, the road ahead will only become harder and harder to walk.

Mo Hua nodded and decided in his heart:

He wants to pattern himself with a dragon!

He will find a way to refine the “Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array” and take it as his natal magic treasure!

Everything depends on human effort, and the rest is left to fate. To get anything good, you must pay the corresponding effort. Effort may not necessarily have results, but without effort, heaven will definitely not drop pies.

Since he decided, Mo Hua no longer hesitated.

If he wants to refine the Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array, the material problem can be considered later, and the evil array method can also be distinguished later. But before this, the first thing he must do is to find a way to get the “Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array Diagram”…

Mo Hua thought to himself.

The Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array Diagram is the premise of everything.

Without the array diagram, everything else is just empty talk.

And this pair of array diagrams is one of the most top-notch array inheritances within the Si Xiang Array, named after the divine beast “Azure Dragon.”

To take a step back, even if I don’t refine it as my natal magic treasure, I must find a way to get this array diagram.

The Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array Diagram, just by hearing the name, is extraordinary.

But the question remains, how to get the array diagram…

Mo Hua sat at the table, propping his chin, his thoughts churning, “The leader of the Demonic Sect, he patterned himself with the Azure Dragon Pattern, which means he definitely has the Azure Dragon Array Diagram on him.”

“But he is the leader, mysterious and unfathomable, and he is in the late stage of Golden Core cultivation, plus the Azure Dragon Pattern – even if incomplete, his strength is definitely terrifying. It’s a bit too much to think of hitting on his idea…”

“Then… Tu Xian?”

“Tu Xian definitely has it in his hand, but he is probably in the Transformation stage, even stronger than the leader of the Demonic Sect. It’s even more impossible to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth from him.”

“In the Demonic Sect, there should be no one else who knows about this pair of arrays, not even the ‘Dog Head Military Advisor’ Elder You. It’s not necessarily true that he knows the clues to this pair of array diagrams…”

Mo Hua thought and thought, but it seemed there was really no breakthrough…

His grand plan of patterning himself with a dragon as his natal magic treasure had not even begun, and it had already “collapsed”…

For several days, Mo Hua was pondering this matter.

Finally, after several days, he thought of a possibility:

“Demonic Sect Merit Treasury!”

The Merit Treasury is the place where the sect’s treasures and inheritances are stored. This is true for the righteous path, and also for the demonic path.

The Si Xiang Azure Dragon Array Diagram is definitely a sect treasure, and it is possible that it is stored in the Demonic Sect Merit Treasury.

But the problem lies again in the fact that this array diagram is too precious, so precious that the Merit Treasury may not even be qualified to store it.

Both are possible, but at least it is a direction.

With a direction, it is worth trying.

Mo Hua finished thinking, then formally planned to make a move on the Demonic Sect “Merit Treasury” – this was also an idea he had very early on, when he first started learning the Yuan Ci Array:

Utilize the Yuan Ci Array principle to tamper with array permissions and steal resources and inheritances from other sects’ treasuries!

Mo Hua tried once, and then, not unexpectedly, failed.

Stealing inheritance is not so simple.

He still overestimated his Yuan Ci Array level.

The “Merit Ledger” is the key place for the Yuan Ci of all sects. Any sect, when constructing the Yuan Ci Array, is most strict in managing the “Merit Treasury.”

But Mo Hua is not afraid of strict management. His biggest problem still lies in his being only in the Foundation Establishment stage, and his array attainments are at most only at the second grade.

With a second-grade array level, it is fundamentally impossible to penetrate into the Demonic Sect “Merit Treasury.” Even using the cheat-like Lei Ci Xiao Ren is useless.

Just like this, the path was blocked again.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

His cultivation is indeed still too low.

Many arrays cannot be learned, and high-end methods cannot be used.

When can I reach Core Formation, or just Transformation…

At that time, he can learn third-grade, or even fourth-grade arrays, and the effects and power of the arrays can be raised to another level.

Even if he is just a Golden Core cultivator, mastering a third-grade array, he occupies the middle-upper mainstream in the entire cultivation world’s array system. As long as there is an opportunity, he can get involved in most high-difficulty arrays…

Mo Hua was a little dazed for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he realized he had thought a little too far.

Let’s still consider the matter of the Azure Dragon Array Diagram first.

Foundation Establishment level, third-grade Yuan Ci…

Mo Hua thought for a moment again, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of something.

On the next day, he made another appointment to meet Elder Zheng.

The two sat down in a tea house and had a cup of tea together. Mo Hua then said: “Elder Zheng, by chance, I obtained a complete set of Lei Ci inheritance, but I found…”

“Wait a moment,” Elder Zheng was stunned for a bit, “What did you say?”

Mo Hua said: “I said that by chance, I obtained a complete set of Lei Ci inheritance, including array disks, array diagrams, and some array books and insights…”

Elder Zheng opened his mouth, a little hard to believe:

“You said… a complete set of Lei Ci inheritance?”

A Lei Ci inheritance, and it also comes with array disks and array diagrams.

This is something that is “life and death related” for array masters, even for Lei Ci array masters with family origins.

This is obtained by chance?

Elder Zheng’s face immediately became serious, and his gaze sank, “You… killed a Lei Ci array master?”

Unless you kill an orthodox Lei Ci array master, you can’t get this kind of family property.

Mo Hua was also a little taken aback.

Elder Zheng was indeed formidable. He guessed the process of this “by chance” at once.

Mo Hua corrected: “I didn’t kill him.”

“Then who killed him?”

“Dao Ting Si.” Mo Hua said frankly.

“Dao Ting Si?”

“Um,” Mo Hua nodded, “I provided a little bit of small clues. The people from the Dao Ting Si followed the vine to find the position of a Lei Ci array master, and then killed him.”

Elder Zheng’s expression suddenly became clear, and he immediately understood why Mo Hua had come to ask him about “Yuan Ci positioning” some time ago. It turned out he was using it to “fix a point and kill people.”

He used this “learning and applying” quite diligently…

Elder Zheng frowned.

“He was a demon cultivator who did many bad things, and he deserved to die.”

Mo Hua added an explanation to avoid affecting his image of being “upright and kind” in Elder Zheng’s mind.

Elder Zheng’s expression was subtle, and he said strangely again: “The Dao Ting Si killed this array master, and you can actually take all these array disks and array diagrams for yourself?”

Mo Hua said: “I used a little bit of connections.”

Mo Hua was very modest.

Of course, these connections are actually not small at all. There is both a True Disciple Elder of the sect and a powerful official of the Dao Ting Si. He mediated in the middle, which is how he managed to get these things… No, he brought back the array inheritance that originally belonged to the Tai Xu Sect to the Tai Xu Sect and temporarily kept it for himself.

Elder Zheng had nothing to say.

Sometimes, he really suspected that there was an “old cunning giant deceitful” monster living in Mo Hua’s brain.

Cultivators of his age normally couldn’t do things so seamlessly.

Elder Zheng frowned, then admonished: “This matter ends here, and you must not tell anyone again.”

“This is no small matter. This kind of inherited Lei Ci array master is very likely to have the same master.

Lei Ci array masters are secretive, and the master-disciple inheritance is also more intimate. If you kill a disciple, you are very likely to provoke a group. Once exposed in the future, if you are surrounded and suppressed by a group of Lei Ci array masters, all your life information will be stripped bare, and they will rack their brains to harm you. Then your trouble will be big…”

Mo Hua’s heart jumped when he heard the words, and then he slightly emphasized again:

“I didn’t kill him.”

“Whoever has the things in their hands will be held accountable. What’s more…” Elder Zheng looked at Mo Hua silently, “Are you really a little unrelated?”

Mo Hua was a little guilty.

His relationship is very big.

This “Mr. Yuan” was originally the person he located, set up an ambush for, and called the Dao Ting Si to surround and kill.

Counting it up, he is the “chief culprit.”

It’s just that he didn’t expect to provoke this kind of vulgar causal drama of “killing the small brings the big, killing the big brings the old.”

“It’s not necessarily true that you will run into it. I’m just reminding you to be careful.” Elder Zheng said.

“Um, I remember.” Mo Hua nodded.

Only then did Elder Zheng feel relieved, took a sip of tea, and then said: “Right, what do you want to ask me?”

Only then did Mo Hua remember the main topic, and then sincerely asked: “Senior, in that set of Lei… in that set of array inheritance, especially that array disk, there are both third-grade arrays and second-grade arrays on it. These two grades are embedded, why is this? Is it for array ‘frequency reduction’?”

“Here, it involves another type of array knowledge.” Elder Zheng thought for a moment and slowly said, “I ask you, how do you distinguish between first-grade and second-grade arrays?”

This question is simply too basic.

Mo Hua said: “Through the number of array patterns and the grade of the array patterns.”

“Have you tried mixing first-grade and second-grade arrays?” Elder Zheng asked.

Mo Hua thought about it and shook his head, “No.”

He is already a second-grade array master, why would he go back and draw a first-grade array?

What’s more, his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of cultivators of the same realm, and he has always been drawing arrays above his level and using this to temper his spiritual consciousness.

He hasn’t drawn a first-grade array in a long time.

“Then can first-grade and second-grade arrays be mixed?” Elder Zheng asked again.

“Should… they can. In complex arrays, through the array hub, taking into account first-grade and second-grade arrays, they can be mixed.” Mo Hua said, “But what’s the point of this mix?”

Elder Zheng nodded, “There’s not much point in first and second grade, because they are both relatively basic, but above third grade, it’s different again.”

“Golden Core is a big threshold for many cultivators.”

“Third-grade array is similarly a natural chasm for many array masters.”

“Many array masters are stuck at the threshold between second and third grade for their entire lives and find it difficult to enter again.”

“And the power of third-grade arrays is one level higher than second-grade.”

“Many arrays, if purely using third-grade array patterns, will be very strong in effect, but in the actual cultivation world, third-grade array masters are few, third-grade arrays are difficult, and this type of array has high costs and high difficulty. Whether it’s maintenance or repair, it’s extremely inconvenient.”

“Therefore, ordinary third-grade arrays are all ‘mixed’ complex arrays, and a part of second-grade arrays will be mixed in between them.”

“This kind of method is called ‘降纹’ by array masters.”

“Its purpose is twofold. One is to lower the difficulty and control the cost by lowering the array pattern grade, and save the array operation consumption.”

“The second is to allow low-level array masters to also slightly activate the operation of some high-level arrays through the mutual influence between arrays…”
