Chapter 957: Dragon Diagram | Trận Vấn Trường Sinh
Trận Vấn Trường Sinh - Updated on May 17, 2025
In the deep pit of the tomb burial, above the bright yellow copper coffin, the intense battle continued.
In the bloody wind and rain, broken limbs filled the sky.
The huge blood-flesh corpse image, waving both arms, commanding hundreds and thousands of corpse evils, roared angrily like a monster.
And opposite him, the black-robed big man carrying an evil dragon, with surging blood energy reaching the sky, and the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array fully operating, possessed a sharp majesty that was actually enough to contend with that huge corpse image on equal terms.
Every fist of this big man could blast out a dragon shadow.
Every dragon shadow, accompanied by a dragon roar, galloped away with astonishing power, bombarding the body of the huge blood-flesh corpse image.
The evil dragon’s power was fearsome to the extreme, and even this powerful blood-flesh corpse image was fundamentally unable to withstand it.
Large pieces of blood flesh and broken limbs were scattered, dissipated, and turned into ashes by the dragon fists.
Such powerful momentum not only provoked the blood-flesh corpse image to shock and anger but also caused emotional fluctuations in other people’s hearts.
Especially Gray Second Master, his face was full of shock.
“This is… a dragon?!”
He absolutely did not expect that this big man, who had been silent all the way, was actually carrying such terrifying evil dragon power.
Shi Tou was also full of shock.
Even the other three black-robed cultivators, for a time, felt surging emotions in their hearts and their expressions varied.
The black-robed old man’s expression was arrogant, with a hint of fanaticism.
The black-robed young master then gazed with envy, murmuring a sigh: “This is… the Great Wilderness’s dragon ah…”
Another black-robed big man, in the midst of the intense battle, also broke free from his black robe, revealing a body as robust as a bear and a wild boar, and ferocious demon patterns on his back.
This black-robed big man bare-handedly pinched a corpse evil to death, then lifted his head, looking towards the figure covered in dragon patterns, his eyes full of longing.
And in this longing, there was still a trace of jealousy and greed.
Among the crowd of cultivators in the field, some had shocked expressions, while others had various thoughts.
Only Mo Hua was secretly trying to derive array patterns, “stealing” the array method.
Borrowing the cover of the sky full of corpse energy, and surging spiritual power and blood energy, Mo Hua hid in the distance, using both Tian Ji Miao Suan and Tian Ji Yan Suan together, mutually amplifying, to peek at this, the absolute secret Great Wilderness Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array Diagram.
His eyes, black, white, and gold, three colors interwoven.
Powerful mental power poured out like a flood.
All kinds of ancient and profound array patterns, containing primordial meaning, vigorous and ancient, were derived, one by one, and presented in his heart.
At the same time, Mo Hua drew on the ground with his hand, outlining ink patterns, quickly recording these array patterns one by one on the ground.
On the gray-black ground, ink marks appeared one by one, gradually, like the scales and claws of an azure dragon, pieced together one by one.
First came the dragon claws, then the dragon scales, dragon tail, dragon body, dragon fins…
A dragon shape outlined by array patterns was gradually taking shape… until the dragon head.
But just at the dragon head, the whole dragon was stuck.
The derivation suddenly slowed down.
Mo Hua’s sea of consciousness began to feel needle-like pain, and his divine sense was also gradually depleted.
The enhanced derivation from Miao Suan gradually exceeded his bearable load limit, and Mo Hua’s pupils also began to feel some swollen pain, as if blood was about to flow out…
It was as if there was a bottleneck, stuck in the path of derivation.
No matter how hard he tried, how he persisted, he was unable to cross this bottleneck, unable to derive the entire dragon.
Blood was about to flow from the corners of his eyes, and the stabbing pain in the sea of consciousness became sharper. Mo Hua knew that he had reached his limit and could only helplessly stop the derivation.
“Divine sense is still not enough, the peak of nineteen patterns is also not enough…”
“Miao Suan and Yan Suan also still lack proficiency.”
Mo Hua sighed, then gently rubbed the corners of his eyes, lowering his head to look at the array diagram on the ground.
The Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array, in its complete form, presented a dragon shape, but now this dragon lacked a head.
The body part had a total of eighteen patterns.
Mo Hua had exhausted all his effort, and only managed to push the derivation to this step.
The remaining array patterns of the Azure Dragon’s head exceeded Mo Hua’s current limit of divine sense and derivation, and he could not derive them.
Based on the remnant diagram derived, the complete Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array Diagram was possibly nineteen patterns, but it was more likely to be above twenty patterns, or even an absolute array of twenty-one patterns.
That is to say, the Azure Dragon Array on the body of this Demon Sect leader was not only the Four Symbols Array of the Great Wilderness, but also a divine beast array among the Four Symbols Arrays, and even a second-grade untransmitted absolute array of above twenty patterns.
“What a pity…” Mo Hua sighed in his heart.
If his divine sense and Miao Suan method were a bit stronger, perhaps he could have completely calculated this array diagram.
Unlike now, it had claws and a tail, but no head.
“But even if it’s calculated, it doesn’t seem to be of much use…”
Mo Hua reviewed the remnant Azure Dragon Array Diagram that he had just derived, and gradually frowned.
Although it was a dragon, its white bones were exposed, its patterns reversed, its claws and teeth sharp, and within its majesty, there was a hint of evil strangeness.
“This is an evil array…”
If it was an evil array, then he couldn’t learn it.
Mo Hua would not be so arrogant as to ignore the warnings of his Master, Elder Xun, and all the seniors and elders along the way.
He would not be truly stupid and self-smart, and go to learn evil path arrays.
If you don’t listen to the elders’ words, you will suffer losses in front of your eyes.
He could still clearly distinguish between right and wrong.
“Then what about his own life array diagram… what to do?”
“How to handle this remnant Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array Diagram?”
Turn evil into good?
Where to get the complete array diagram?
It’s totally impossible to kill this powerful Demon Sect leader, strip off his skin, and then copy it down, right?
Mo Hua’s brows furrowed tightly.
But time was urgent, and he had no time to think more.
After copying the derived array diagram onto a jade slip and putting it in his storage ring, he erased all traces of the derivation on the ground. Only then did Mo Hua feel relieved, then he raised his head to look at the distant battlefield.
The battle with the blood-flesh corpse image was still ongoing, but it was gradually approaching its end.
The Demon Sect leader, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm and carried the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Evil Array, had killing power that was truly strong and fearsome.
The resurrecting evil energy of the blood-flesh corpse image was suppressed by the section of white bone sacrificed by the black-robed old man.
Its heart was also bound tightly by that wisp of white energy.
“That section of white bone, perhaps it’s… not dragon bone?”
“Dragon bone can suppress the evil energy of Dao Evil?”
Mo Hua’s pupils brightened slightly. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
And with the dragon bone suppressing it, the “evil energy” on the body of the blood-flesh corpse image was indeed gradually dimming.
Without the power of evil energy, the seemingly powerful blood-flesh corpse image was just a huge “walking corpse,” fundamentally no match for the crowd.
After dozens more rounds, with a boom sound, the blood-flesh corpse image was hit on the head by the Demon Sect leader’s fist, and a black-red dragon shadow penetrated its skull.
The corpse image’s blood and flesh scattered and collapsed.
Death energy and Yin energy also lost their foundation and gradually dissipated.
This huge blood-flesh corpse image was thus exterminated.
Without the blood-flesh foundation, without the nourishment of Yin energy, that wisp of “evil energy” suppressed by the dragon bone also dimmed.
“We won…”
Gray Second Master was somewhat unbelievable, then looked at the Demon Sect leader carrying the evil dragon, whose posture was arrogant, and deep shock and apprehension surged in his gaze.
In an instant, he made up his mind, cupping his hands to the black-robed old man and the others, saying:
“Seniors, with the killing of this evil creature, my task is completed. I will… take my leave first.”
“Wait a moment,” the black-robed old man said.
Gray Second Master’s body stiffened.
The black-robed old man said: “With this corpse image killed and the copper coffin right in front, does Gray Second Master not want a share of the spoils?”
Gray Second Master forced a smile: “I didn’t exert much effort in killing the corpse image, so I have no merit and dare not take this benefit.”
The black-robed old man shook his head, “We had a word before, after the matter is completed, we will divide the accounts five-five. Now that the matter is completed, how can this old man break his promise?”
Gray Second Master’s heart tightened.
He already realized that he had entered a tiger’s den.
This group of black-robed cultivators were genuine demon cultivators, and they were inconceivably strong, even able to cultivate evil dragons.
Everything related to dragons was extraordinary.
Gray Second Master did not want to wade into this muddy water.
If he could withdraw at this time, holding the storage bag with the mouse, he could still catch a young “genius array master” and take him back to raise and work for himself. No matter how he thought about it, it was not a loss.
But it was very obvious that this black-robed old man had no intention of letting him go.
This group of people had ruthless cultivation methods, and they even killed a blood-flesh corpse image, let alone himself.
Gray Second Master had no choice but to brace himself and say: “Then… then… respect is worse than obedience.”
The black-robed old man again beckoned to Mo Hua in the distance.
Mo Hua was stunned, but still ran over.
The black-robed old man then said: “Little brother, when we search inside the coffin, you also pick a share.”
“Really?” Mo Hua was a little surprised.
“Naturally,” the black-robed old man nodded, “You also exerted effort in this tomb robbing, so you naturally should also have a share of the treasure.”
“Thank you, old senior.” Mo Hua looked flattered on the surface, but muttered in his heart:
Why did this old man want to share things with him?
What idea was he exactly hitting?
Of course, Mo Hua also faintly had some expectation in his heart, what treasures would be buried inside such a large bright yellow copper coffin.
After that, the crowd gathered together, cleaned up the bright yellow copper coffin, burned the zombie blood and flesh, and then began to search the coffin.
But after cleaning up the broken limbs and burning the rotten meat, the bottom of such a large coffin was empty, actually containing nothing at all.
There was no tomb owner, no burial goods.
There were also no traces of the “evil fetus” that Mo Hua wanted to find.
It was as if the entire copper coffin was buried just with these dead corpses.
When Gray Second Master saw the situation, he didn’t know what he thought of, and his face changed.
The black-robed old man and the others were also all silent.
The black-robed young master frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at the old man, and said in a somewhat ice-cold voice: “Second Elder, this is not the same as what you said before.”
“Young Master Xuan, please calm down a little.”
The black-robed old man’s voice was hoarse, but looking at his expression, there were also several points of puzzlement.
It seemed that this trip, they did not find what they wanted.
And the situation before their eyes was also outside their expectation.
Mo Hua lowered his head, not revealing any emotion on the surface, but his heart was constantly fluctuating.
He probably figured it out.
Among these four black-robed cultivators, the demon cultivator big man with dragon patterns was the leader of the Demon Sect.
Another whose body was like a bear and a wild boar was the Demon Sect’s “Bear Elder”.
He was also the “escaped fish” from the joint encirclement of the Demon Sect by the Dao Court Division and Tai Xu Gate last time.
At the same time, according to Elder Xun Ziyu, this “Bear Elder” was also one of the three Golden Core realm demon cultivator elders in the Hunter Demon Mountain Ten Thousand Demon Valley initially.
Initially, when Mo Hua entered the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, he took advantage of the fact that these three demon cultivator elders were out, and secretly slipped in, so he did not directly meet face to face with these three demon cultivator elders.
Elder Xun Ziyu also said before that among these three demon cultivator elders, one died in Lian Mo Mountain, but how he died was unknown.
He had thick and long claw marks on his chest, as if he was killed by being ripped open, his storage bag was gone, and the skin engraved with demon patterns was also cut off, making it impossible to judge what kind of demon cultivator it was.
Another was the snake demon elder.
He was chopped by Elder Xun Ziyu during the encirclement of the Demon Sect at Yan Luo Mountain.
The last one is this bear and wild boar big man in front of him.
He was also the only Golden Core demon cultivator who survived in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.
As for that black-robed old man, who was called “Second Elder”…
Mo Hua thought for a moment, feeling that he should be the Demon Sect’s “Second Elder,” who had the deepest seniority and whose status was second only to the Demon Sect leader.
But wasn’t this Second Elder dead?
Was it fake death? Or shedding the golden cicada shell?
Mo Hua wrinkled his brow, somewhat not understanding.
When he had done his divine calculation before, his rough calculation was not wrong. These three people, in a certain sense, all had some connection with him.
The only exception was this young master.
The Second Elder called him “Young Master Xuan”.
With Mo Hua’s grasp of the Demon Sect through the Lei Ci Array, there was no character named “Young Master Xuan” within the Demon Sect.
And Mo Hua was also sure that he had never seen him before.
Then who exactly was he? What connection could he have with him?
The most strange thing was, why did these several Golden Core experts of the Demon Sect run to Gu Shan to dig this tomb?
What exactly was their purpose?
Why was this tomb built?
Why was it built in the Shen family mine?
Why were there so many corpses in the bright yellow copper coffin? Where did these corpses come from?
Mine… Shen family… Dao Evil…
Mo Hua had numerous doubts, and his gaze gradually became ice cold.
“Is it possible that we found the wrong place?” the black-robed young man called “Young Master Xuan” frowned and said, “The Shen family’s mine is so big, the tomb we are looking for is not necessarily built right here.”
“Otherwise, it’s impossible for this bright yellow copper coffin to have nothing at all…”
“Does the Shen family still repair other tombs? Is this tomb used to cover people’s eyes and ears?”
Gray Second Master’s gaze flickered, silent and not speaking.
Just at this time, Mo Hua suddenly thought of something and asked:
“Shen Qingsheng?”
“Shen Qingsheng?”
“Just the young master of the Shen family who was caught together,” Mo Hua said, “Where is he?”
“This…” Gray Second Master and the others looked at each other for a moment.
“It seems… he’s lost?”
“When did he get lost?”
“It seems it was…” Shi Tou recalled for a moment, “Before at the fork in the road.”
Shen Qingsheng was being held by the mouse.
The first time the crowd was attacked by groups of corpse evils, after they scattered, the mouse only cared about catching Mo Hua and leaving, so naturally, Shen Qingsheng was lost.
And this Shen Qingsheng was dispensable. Whether he lived or died, no one cared, and he was forgotten for a time.
Now they robbed a tomb and got an empty coffin.
When Mo Hua thought of the Shen family, he naturally remembered this Shen Qingsheng as well.
“The young master of the Shen family…” The black-robed old man wrinkled his brow and said slowly: “Find him and ask him some things.”
Gray Second Master nodded.
So the group of people returned along the original road.
Only in the hearts of the crowd was it clear that with the corpse evils rampant at the fork in the road and so many changes in the underground palace, whether they could find this Shen Qingsheng was really hard to say.
Even if they found him, whether he was alive or dead was also an unknown number.
But in any case, they still had to look for him.
Because they were returning to the fork in the road, and the ground arrays were dense and the tunnels intricate, the task of pointing the way was naturally still handed over to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua held a compass in one hand, and secretly touched a copper coin with the other, divining Shen Qingsheng’s energy, and discovered that Shen Qingsheng’s karma was clear, and he really seemed to be not dead, not by some unexpected circumstances.
It was indeed not said casually that good people don’t live long, but scourges live a thousand years.
Mo Hua followed the energy and led the way.
After not knowing how many forks they bypassed, they finally found Shen Qingsheng curled up on the ground in a corner.
Shen Qingsheng lay on the ground terrified, with a layer of faint golden light protecting him, looking like some kind of body protection treasure.
And at this time, there were four or five corpse evils crawling on him.
These rotten corpse evils bared their teeth and grinned, gnawing frantically at Shen Qingsheng, only because of the treasure’s protection, they couldn’t bite into his blood and flesh.
Shen Qingsheng also therefore survived, not being eaten by the corpse evils.
Seeing that Shen Qingsheng was still surrounded by corpse evils, gnawing at him non-stop, Gray Second Master then walked up, drew his knife, chopped off the corpse evils one by one, and saved Shen Qingsheng.
Shen Qingsheng had been shrinking on the ground before, not daring to breathe. At this time, seeing all the corpse evils being chopped off, his face immediately became ferocious, and he didn’t care about the stench, desperately stamping on them with his feet to vent his anger, saying:
“A bunch of dirty, ugly, lowly mine workers…”
Mo Hua’s gaze turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:
“How do you know… these corpse evils are mine workers?”
Shen Qingsheng’s face turned pale, “This is not… obvious… here is a mine… yes…”
“Alright,” Gray Second Master interrupted him, “Who cares what kind of mine workers you are, I just ask you, is this mine yours, the Shen family’s?”
“Yes…”
“Then this tomb, at the bottom of your Shen family mine, was also built by your Shen family?”
“I… I don’t know.”
Gray Second Master stretched out his big hand and strangled Shen Qingsheng’s neck, “Boy, don’t play tricks. Honestly tell me, what exactly was this tomb built by your Shen family used for…”
Gray Second Master’s voice was stern, still hiding a trace of fear.
Shen Qingsheng’s face said: “I… I really don’t know… I’m still young, I don’t get involved in family matters, I don’t know…”
“Damn, useless.” Gray Second Master casually threw Shen Qingsheng to the ground.
Shen Qingsheng staggered and fell, his gaze resentful, but he didn’t dare say anything.
Mo Hua’s gaze was deep, he glanced at Shen Qingsheng, then raised his head to look at Gray Second Master, seeing the unease in his eyes, and also seeing the fear in his divine soul.
“Shen Qingsheng may not know something, but this Gray Second Master… obviously sensed something…”
Mo Hua pondered for a moment, just thinking of saying something to trick out Gray Second Master’s words, when he heard the black-robed old man say in an old voice:
“Gray Second Master, things have come to this point, why are you still hiding something?”
Mo Hua was stunned, and his heart was slightly alert.
This Demon Sect Second Elder, who could suppress evil energy with dragon bone, indeed had extraordinary means.
He could see that Gray Second Master was hiding something, and he also seemed to see it.
Gray Second Master’s eyelid jumped, “Senior, what do you mean by these words?”
The black-robed old man said: “I entrusted an old friend to flip through Mao Shan’s genealogy, and only from the direct line, did he find Gray Second Master, who was expelled from the sect. I believe with Gray Second Master’s Mao Shan Dao skills, you will not let me down.”
Flipping through the genealogy, checking the roots, tracing back to Mao Shan.
Gray Second Master’s heart trembled.
He still thought that this single business was good luck, delivered to his door by others, but he didn’t think that he had been targeted by others early on.
