Chapter 1669: Chapter 862: Dragon Bone

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, with a faint guess in his heart.

This hall should be the true… Dragon King Hall.

Because it enshrines the “Dragon King,” it needs to be built tall, wide, majestic, and solemn.

“But what about the things inside? Have they all been destroyed?”

Mo Hua frowned.

This Evil God truly is squandering treasures, a perfectly good Dragon King Hall, ruined beyond recognition.

More importantly, nothing was left for himself…

Unwilling, Mo Hua walked around the hall, still finding nothing, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a trace of a divine soul wave, ancient and with a faint “sacred” meaning.

He was startled in his heart and quickly turned his head to look.

The source of the divine soul wave was an inconspicuous little corner of the hall, empty, seemingly with nothing there.

Mo Hua’s brows furrowed even tighter.

He walked slowly towards that corner.

But as soon as he approached the corner, Mo Hua suddenly froze, scratching his head with some confusion, looking at a loss.

“What… am I doing here?”

Mo Hua was puzzled, shook his head, turned to leave, and after taking just two steps, he suddenly awoke, immediately turned his head, and stared at that corner, shocked in his heart:

Something’s wrong!

This place is hiding a big secret!

It could even deceive himself, to a certain extent, twisting his perception as half-human, half-demigod, even “half-Evil God.”

Unconvinced, he walked towards the corner again.

But as soon as he got close, his expression again became dazed, as if he forgot his purpose and started to turn away again.

After some time walking, he suddenly awoke again, still not convinced, headed towards the corner.

Not far away, a few cultivators from the Gu Family, following Gu Changhuai’s command to protect Mo Hua, saw him moving back and forth in that corner like hitting a ghost wall, exchanging glances with confusion.

But they dared not speak to disturb him.

After all, Young Master Mo’s actions have always been a bit peculiar.

After several rounds of this, Mo Hua knew this wouldn’t do, so he began implanting “suggestions” in his Taoist Heart, planting a thought:

“Go to the corner, go to the corner…”

“Don’t look back, don’t look back…”

Mo Hua recited this several times in his heart, then continued forward.

And this “Planting Devil in Taoist Heart” indeed proved useful.

Whenever he stopped, dazed and without a goal, a thought would surface in his mind: “Go to the corner.”

This way, he had a direction.

And whenever he tried to turn back, he would remember “don’t look back,” thus stepping forward with determination.

Mo Hua made himself into his “puppet,” executing his will with firm purpose.

Just like this, stopping and starting, intending to turn back but halting, stumbling along, Mo Hua finally reached the corner.

The moment he stepped into the corner, all obstacles and confusion in his Divine Sense vanished.

Mo Hua’s eyes cleared, and with a steady gaze, found that an unnoticed small sculpture was lying in this inconspicuous little corner.

The statue was made of white bone.

Mo Hua looked closer and was suddenly startled, realizing something was off.

This bone, snow-white and crystalline, curled delicately with fine cloud patterns, appeared incredibly hard, an ancient and sacred aura wafting around it.

This was not a human bone, but…

Dragon Bone!

Dragon Bone Sculpture!

Mo Hua was deeply shocked.

To cast a sculpture with Dragon Bone…

His thoughts surged unpredictably, and after a long time, he retrieved a term from memory:

Lifebound Divine Statue!

This was a deity’s Lifebound Divine Statue!

And most likely the Lifebound Divine Statue of the Dragon God enshrined in this ancient Dragon King Temple!

Mo Hua took a deep breath.

This thing is truly terrifying…

He immediately wanted to store this Lifebound Dragon Bone Divine Statue in his storage ring but tried several times and found it impossible.

A Lifebound Divine Statue is a deity’s origin.

Such a thing carries great cause and effect, with overwhelming interference, inherently repelling the Void Law, so it can’t be stored in a storage space.

“What to do then? Just carry it like this?”

Unable to find another way, Mo Hua reached out to touch it.

The divine statue trembled, an ancient aura surged forth, but dissolved automatically upon encountering Mo Hua, seemingly not rejecting him.

Mo Hua sighed in relief, cradling the Dragon Bone Divine Statue in his arms as he walked out of the hall.

The Gu Family cultivators were confused, “Young Master Mo, why are you walking like that?”

“Like what?”

“As if you’re carrying something…”

As if…

Mo Hua was startled, “You can’t see it?”

“See what?”

Mo Hua lowered his head, looking at the Dragon Bone Sculpture in his arms, then at the bewildered expressions around, shaking his head:

“Nothing.”

He adjusted his posture, holding the Dragon Bone Sculpture properly, so it didn’t appear he was carrying anything.

Luckily, the divine statue wasn’t large nor heavy, making it easy for him to carry.

“Young Master Mo, do you still need to inspect this hall?”

“No need to inspect anymore, no need…”

Mo Hua waved his hand.

All the good stuff was clutched in his arms, what else is there to check.

“This place has been emptied, there’s nothing at all, let’s leave.” Mo Hua feigned regret.

The others didn’t suspect anything and left the Dragon King Hall with Mo Hua.

After leaving the hall, Mo Hua had a sudden thought and went over to sway in front of Gu Changhuai.

Upon seeing this, Gu Changhuai asked, “Are you completely done searching?”

“Just a little more to go.” Mo Hua replied.

Gu Changhuai nodded, saying no more.

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai, now certain in his heart:
