Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2398 Chapter 1091: Great Wilderness Bone Scroll
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Mo Hua's Divine Sense felt muddled and disoriented, apparently awake yet profoundly exhausted. His Sea of Consciousness was as heavy as a thousand jun, burdened as if by countless sins and debts.
Furthermore, his vision was hazy.
Everything he perceived was in shades of black and white.
It was as if the world had been stripped of its color, returned to its most primordial hues. The stark contrast of black and white evoked a sense of profound silence while simultaneously suggesting the Great Dao's unification of all things.
Mo Hua blinked forcefully once more.
The monochrome world before him began to recede slightly, a touch more color bleeding back into existence, though the black and white shadows still clung stubbornly to the periphery of his sight.
This peculiar vision seemed intrinsically linked to his eyes.
A frown creased Mo Hua's brow. He blinked again, and upon reopening his eyes, he saw Elder Master Xun, his snow-white hair contrasting with the worry etched in his usually stern gaze.
Mo Hua felt a jolt of surprise, uttering, "Elder Master Xun…"
As he tried to rise, a gnarled yet warm hand gently pressed him back down. "Do not move."
Elder Master Xun rested the back of his hand on Mo Hua's forehead, assessing his pulse. He gauged the strength and weakness within Mo Hua's channels, the balance of his Blood Qi, and the flow of his Spiritual Power. Finally, he gently pinched Mo Hua's chin, examining his eyes with keen scrutiny.
Observing the gradual fading of the black and white from Mo Hua's eyes, noting the absence of any Evil Qi, Corpse Qi, or lingering Blood Qi, Elder Master Xun finally felt a measure of relief.
"Can you see clearly now?"
"Yes, I can see clearly," Mo Hua replied truthfully, adding, "though it's still a bit hazy, with some black and white around the edges."
"And your channels' Spiritual Power?"
Mo Hua channeled his energy, responding, "I believe it's functioning adequately."
"Do you feel fatigued?"
"Yes," Mo Hua confirmed with a nod. "I feel a heaviness in my shoulder, as if something is pressing down, making it difficult to breathe easily…"
A soft sigh escaped Elder Master Xun.
The immense weight of such slaughter, yet Mo Hua only described it as "heavy." This Life Chart was not merely "tough," it was something far beyond simple description.
"Do you…" Elder Master Xun paused briefly before directly asking, "...feel the urge to kill people?"
"Kill people?"
Mo Hua blinked in stunned confusion. "Why would I want to kill anyone?"
Elder Master Xun wasn't sure how to proceed, ultimately sighing, "It is good that you do not."
Elder Master Xun peered into Mo Hua's eyes once more, verifying the sincerity and clarity in his gaze, confirming he wasn't being deceived. This finally set his mind at ease.
Mo Hua, slightly puzzled, inquired, "Elder Master Xun, what exactly is happening to me?"
Elder Master Xun regarded Mo Hua silently for a moment before softly asking, "Do you understand what you have done?"
"I…"
Mo Hua hesitated, then decided it was best to be completely honest with Elder Master Xun.
After all, Elder Master Xun had always treated him with exceptional kindness. Certain matters he kept hidden only when absolutely necessary, and even then, he found it difficult to withhold them.
However, the matter of the Blood Sacrifice Array could be disclosed. Since his intention was to rescue others and not to commit wrongdoing, there was no need to conceal anything from such a benevolent Elder.
Moreover, the scale of this affair was too significant for him to bear alone.
By confiding in Elder Master Xun, he could also secure valuable support.
Mo Hua considered his words carefully before explaining his recent actions to Elder Master Xun.
He recounted how he had dismantled the Evil Path's Grand Formation on Yanluo Mountain to rescue his fellow disciples and other talents from Qianxue.
Subsequently, in his quest to save Yu Er, he had feigned compliance with Mr. Tu, navigating treacherous alliances amidst various Demon Heads. Ultimately, he succeeded in rescuing Yu Er, simultaneously annihilating the Blood Sacrifice Array and conveniently eliminating all the Demon Heads trapped within it.
Elder Master Xun listened, his mind reeling as if hearing a fantastical tale spun by a master storyteller, filled with astonishing twists and turns.
Yet, after experiencing repeated waves of shock, a sense of numbness began to set in.
No matter how extraordinary Mo Hua's actions became, Elder Master Xun found himself gradually accepting them.
As for certain finer details, which Mo Hua undoubtedly omitted, Elder Master Xun had no intention of probing further.
Knowing the general outline of events was sufficient; sometimes, knowing too much was not necessarily beneficial.
This was especially true concerning matters involving Mo Hua.
"I understand," Elder Master Xun affirmed, nodding. "This matter ends here. Do not speak of it to anyone else. Remember…"
Elder Master Xun gazed intently at Mo Hua, slowly enunciating his instructions:
"Regarding Yu Er, you merely happened to bring his 'body' out. You were unaware of what transpired within the nightmare."
"The self-destruction of the Blood Sacrifice Array has no connection to you."
"The deaths of those Demon Cultivators were a consequence of their own actions and are equally unrelated to you."
"No matter what transpires, you must steadfastly maintain that it is 'unrelated to you'."
"If you fail to do so, with so many Golden Cores and Feather Transformation Demon Heads perishing, not only will the Blood Refining Sect, Mystic Demon Sect, Yin Corpse Valley, Demon Sword Sect, and Hehuan Sect—these very Demon Sects—mark you as the Demon Gate's 'sworn enemy,' relentlessly hunting you.
"But even Xue Qianxue's various sects and aristocratic families will covet your power, viewing you as an insurmountable obstacle. They will scheme persistently, attempting to dissect your mind and study your Sea of Consciousness..."
"Your adversaries will then span both the righteous and the evil paths, rendering every single step you take fraught with lethal peril."
"You absolutely must engrave these words into your memory!"
Elder Master Xun's countenance was etched with extreme seriousness.
Mo Hua grasped the gravity of the situation, offering a sincere nod. "Yes, Gentleman, I have remembered everything."
Witnessing this, the intensity on Elder Master Xun's face softened, his gaze returning to its former warmth as he replied gently:
"Very well, let all of that go for now. Focus on recovering and resting well. During this period, remain within the back mountains and do not venture out anywhere."
"I shall manage all other matters."
Mo Hua responded with deep gratitude, "Thank you, Gentleman."
Elder Master Xun waved his hand, his gaze resting kindly on Mo Hua as he softly imparted his counsel:
"You have incurred injuries tied to causation, bearing a significant emotional burden. Refrain from recklessly expending your Divine Thought, and do not overexert your mind. Rest as much as is feasible; sleep more if you are able."
