Mo Hua refined his Godslaying Sword by stripping away excess power from Taishang Emotion Cutting and Tai Xu Sword Intent, prioritizing speed and control to ensure reliable strikes in battle. Confronting the critical challenge of releasing the Divine Thought into Sword through his eyes as the medium, he grappled with instability that could prove fatal mid-combat. Drawing inspiration from the Five Elements Source Formation and his Heaven Yan Jue cultivation, he integrated Spiritual Power to guide Divine Sense, bridging the boundary between reality and illusion. In focused practice, he condensed the sword with partial array intents and initiated its release, keenly observing the flow of energies and virtual-real transformation.

Even though the might might lessen somewhat, the power one can fully command remains their authentic prowess.

Employing the refined Divine Thought into sword, should it successfully exit its scabbard, just half its strength proves more than sufficient.

Discard the Taishang Emotion Cutting, halve the Tai Xu Sword Intent, reduce the integrated Dao by half, which in turn lightens the burden, accelerates the attacks, and boosts the effectiveness in battle.

Of all mystical arts, nothing surpasses speed in invincibility.

Grandpa Gui imparted this lesson to me ages ago.

It's preferable to outpace by a mere sliver than to overpower by a full measure.

The challenge of forming the Godslaying Sword appears resolved now.

The subsequent concern lies in how to unleash it.

For unleashing, the eyes must function as the conduit, shattering the divide between the Sea of Consciousness and the physical realm, allowing the Divine Thought into sword to burst forth completely.

In a way, this matter holds even greater importance.

Should the divine thought transfer falter at a vital instant, the barrier between the tangible and the illusory remains intact, preventing the Sword of Divine Thought from emerging, then all is lost.

Imagine two cultivators locked in a fierce sword duel.

If the foe's blade has already pressed against your throat, while your own weapon stays trapped in its sheath, you're destined for a senseless demise.

Mo Hua's face grew solemn.

He absolutely refuses to perish in such a "foolish" manner.

"I need to discover a method that guarantees the Divine Thought into sword escapes its sheath without fail..."

Yet, mastering the spell's release point exceeds what Mo Hua can grasp at his current level.

Having strayed far "beyond the curriculum," with no prior examples to guide him, he must probe step by step, refining it to fit his unique circumstances.

Mo Hua reflected briefly, drawing on lessons from Patriarch Dugu in earlier times.

Per the Taixu Gate's purest Divine Thought into sword True Jue, a "sword" serves as the essential conduit for discharge.

Mo Hua isn't a traditional Sword Cultivator and lacks such a blade.

Thus, he resorts to his eyes as the conduit.

However, channeling through the eyes renders the Divine Thought into sword a far more intricate and esoteric release point.

Given Mo Hua's present cultivation base and Sword Dao aptitude, stable mastery proves unattainable.

Unsteadiness often breeds collapse, and a single collapse invites catastrophe.

"I require an additional conduit to secure reliability..."

But what to incorporate?

He owns no personal Magical Treasure, not even the beginnings of one nurtured.

Beyond the eyes, his body provides no other fitting channel...

With brows furrowed, Mo Hua strained his mind for an extended period, until at last, drawing from his deep expertise in formations, he gleaned insight from the First Grade's twenty-three-pattern Five Elements Source Formation Law.

Spiritual Power!

At the heart of the Five Elements Source Formation lies the use of divine thought, transformed via the array to magnify Five Elements might, thus elevating the potency of Five Elements Taoist Skills.

This reveals that Spiritual Power and Telekinesis, though appearing as separate cultivation forces, stem from a common source.

Spiritual Power can blend seamlessly with divine thought.

To a degree, this positions Spiritual Power as a viable conduit for "divine thought."

The procedure is intricate and undoubtedly entwines specific Dao Laws, or else the Five Elements Source Formation wouldn't stand as the Five Elements Sect's guardian supreme array.

Yet Mo Hua seeks no elaborate conversion.

He merely aims to harness his Spiritual Power to steer his Divine Sense.

As innate to him, Spiritual Power and Divine Sense share an inherent harmony, enabling effortless summoning without clash.

"Spiritual Power to steer Divine Sense..."

Mo Hua mused for an instant, then jolted, his thoughts turning to his cultivation method—Heaven Yan Jue.

In cultivating Heaven Yan Jue, upon realm advancement, Spiritual Power withdraws to the Heavenly Gate, channels into the Sea of Consciousness, interfaces with Divine Sense, and erects a Spirit Screen of Mystery Formation patterns to form the breakthrough barrier.

Could this suggest...

The workings of Heaven Yan Jue entail a harmony between Spiritual Power and Telekinesis... or perhaps their partial merging?

Mo Hua's countenance shifted subtly, struck with profound realization.

This delves into the merging of a cultivator's most basic energies.

The ancient technique passed down by his master truly harbors vast enigmas.

Regrettably, his cultivation remains too nascent, allowing only a hazy glimpse of its principles, far from grasping Heaven Yan Jue's profound core.

"I'll persist in steady cultivation; as my realm ascends and insight grows, the enigmas of this ancient method may unveil themselves in time..."

Mo Hua shelved his puzzlement over Heaven Yan Jue for now, pressing on with focused study of the Divine Thought into sword's unleashing.

After some contemplation, he had unraveled most dilemmas, devising a approach rooted in his accumulated knowledge and practice.

All that remains is to test it in action.

Mo Hua steadied his spirit, banishing stray notions, as his stare intensified, his form resembling a sheathed treasure blade brimming with concealed lethality.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua lifted his hands upward.

The sword arrays of Gold Cutting, Mountain Opening, Gui Water, and Li Fire converged unyieldingly between his palms.

A thread of Tai Xu Sword Intent wove itself in as well.

Since it drew on only a portion of the Sword Dao, this Godslaying Sword took shape with remarkable swiftness.

Once the Godslaying Sword coalesced, its sword intent blazed fiercely, eager for the assault.

Mo Hua's eyes gleamed ever brighter, piercing and intense.

He pressed two fingers to his forehead.

A strand of Spiritual Power linked to the Sea of Consciousness, slowly "directing" the telekinetic energy housed there.

Mo Hua keenly felt the divide between the real and the illusory.

With eyes as the outlet and Spiritual Power as the director, Mo Hua's Sword of Divine Thought commenced its gradual breach of the real-illusory barrier.

Mo Hua immersed himself in this process.

Carefully observing the interplay and shifts between Spiritual Power and Telekinesis inside.

While steadily charting the route, aim, and destination for his Godslaying Sword's emergence, comprehending the virtual-to-real shift inherent in Sword Dao.
