Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, "Of course! Iâm not an idiot. How could I practice now."
"Moreover, I canât even cultivate Sword Intent, and I donât know the basic Transforming Sword Skill. Even if I want to learn more advanced sword forms, I simply canât... "
Mo Huaâs eyes flickered slightly.
Patriarch Dugu immediately furrowed his brows.
By intuition, he felt there was something wrong with Mo Huaâs words, as if there was some dishonesty.
But where is the "dishonesty"?
If what he said was false, then it would mean he has cultivated Sword Intent, learned the "Transforming Sword Skill", and can also learn the more advanced Divine Thought Sword Form?
Thatâs even more impossible.
Patriarch Dugu looked at Mo Hua, and finally nodded slowly, "Alright, if you just want to research, I can first give you... the secret of the God-breaking Skill."
"What about the God Slaying Technique?"
"Only the God-breaking Skill, not the God Slaying Technique."
Itâs too difficult, and extremely powerful, with a heavy murderous nature.
Mo Hua asked in a small voice, "Can I have both?"
Patriarch Dugu almost laughed from anger.
"What are you thinking?"
"Then I want the God Slaying Technique!" Mo Hua insisted.
The God-breaking Skillâs "surprise victory" approach is not something he particularly needs on the path of Divine Thought.
He needs one sword to cut through all techniques.
No matter the demon monster, evil embryo, or evil god, cut them all with one sword!
Since the ancestor compromised, heâll persist, even if he has to thicken his skin.
Otherwise, he might miss this opportunity.
He must have the Godslaying Sword!
Patriarch Dugu saw Mo Huaâs stubbornness, helplessly said, "Then itâs the God-slaying one..."
Anyway, whether itâs God-breaking or God-slaying, thereâs no difference.
Mo Hua was overjoyed.
Patriarch Dugu made a slash with his fingers, ripped through the void, took out three bamboo scrolls, but after thinking, he put back two, and handed the first one to Mo Hua.
"This is the method to temper the soul with the sword."
Mo Hua solemnly received the bamboo scroll, finding that it was empty, with only an ancient knife-engraved sword on it.
Mo Hua appeared puzzled, "Ancestor, what does this mean?"
Patriarch Dugu simply said, "The path of God-slaying is within it. Youâll have to comprehend it yourself. If you understand it, it means you can understand it. If not, it means you still donât get it."
Mo Hua felt a slight tingle on his scalp.
As expected of the ancestor, this subtlety shot was like it without shooting...
But upon careful consideration, it seemed to make sense.
If he can understand it, then even if the ancestor doesnât say, he could figure it out.
If he doesnât get it, it shows that he doesnât have deep enlightenment or enough control, so he shouldnât even talk about "God-breaking" or "God-slaying"; he should continue practicing Sword Qi from the basics.
However...
Mo Hua asked again, "Ancestor, werenât there three bamboo scrolls?"
He had sharp eyes and saw the ancestor take out three bamboo scrolls from an unknown void.
Patriarch Duguâs face turned black, "Only one."
Mo Hua stared at him.
Patriarch Duguâs expression was as calm as water.
Fine, one is just one...
Getting something for free is not to be greedy.
The ancestor giving him this one bamboo scroll was already a great favor and shouldnât be taken for granted.
"Thank you, ancestor!" Mo Hua said gratefully.
For some reason, Patriarch Dugu silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Remember what I told you, you can look and think, but donât practice."
Then Patriarch Dugu instructed, "Also, keep this bamboo scroll safe, donât let outsiders see it, and never lose it. Return it after reading..."
Mo Hua agreed wholeheartedly, "Rest assured, ancestor, Iâve remembered it all!"
The hour was late, and afterward, Patriarch Dugu sent Mo Hua back to the Discipleâs Residence.
Back at the Discipleâs Residence, Mo Hua couldnât sleep at all; almost immediately, he took out the bamboo scroll that Patriarch Dugu gave, no, temporarily lent him.
The bamboo scroll was very rough, like someone picked a bamboo strip and casually carved it.
But the simplicity revealed a sense of Great Daoâs naturalness, returning to the original state.
On the bamboo scroll, there was a sword, the engravings ancient and profound.
Mo Hua stared at the sword scar.
After a long time, he saw nothing.
Turning Divine Thought into a sword is not only difficult to learn, even the legacy is so obscure.
Mo Hua shook his head.
Yet no matter how difficult, as long as it involves the Divine Sense, Mo Hua has enough confidence and experience to deduce and study it bit by bit.
After spending about two days without sleep or food, Mo Hua finally gained some insight.
This Sword Dao Bamboo Scroll, essentially has a remarkable similarity to the "Water Prison Forbidden Box" of the Gui Water Sect.
Itâs a type of "similar" Contemplation Map.
Though not a Contemplation Map, it relies on a "map" to engrave the legacy, where the cultivator gains the inheritance through contemplation.
"Should I try learning it?"
Mo Hua was a bit conflicted.
The God Slaying Technique is very strong, but it requires tempering the soul with the sword, and the risk of self-slashing the Life Soul is equally great.
Moreover, heâs essentially "skipping grades" in learning.
Skipping the orthodox Taixu "Soul-Shocking Sword," skipping the Sword Intent condensation, Evil-breaking "God-breaking Sword," and directly starting to learn the final "Godslaying Sword."
But not learning seems not an option either.
The evil embryo residing in the Life Soul is like a thorn in his back, a bone in his throat.
Mo Hua must get rid of it.
"Try it first..."
At midnight, Mo Hua burned incense and bathed, meditated and sat calmly, then took out the bamboo scroll, ready to temper the soul with the sword, practicing the God Slaying Sword Form.
He focused his eyes on the bamboo scroll, contemplating the ancient sword engraving on the scroll.
At first, nothing happened.
Mo Hua felt no different.
But gradually, the calmer his mindset, the longer he contemplated, the sword scar on the bamboo scroll began to change.
This sword scar seemed to slowly transform into a sword.
This sword, formless and intangible, contained an ancient, vast Sword Intent, with a vague power of Yin and Yang division, Taixu rotation.
And Mo Huaâs Divine Thought communicated with this sword.
The tip of this sword also pointed at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was taken aback, then suddenly understood.
His eyes turned cold, gritting his teeth, hardening his heart, he silently chanted in his heart:
"Slash!"
Sword Intent instantly broke through the void, through Mo Huaâs eyes, directly into his Sea of Consciousness, slashing towards his Life Soul.
A burst of intense pain erupted.
A sharp, piercing scream followed.
This scream came from Mo Hua, but it wasnât Mo Hua who screamed.
At the same time, Mo Huaâs face turned dark and sinister, transforming into the Evil Baby, shrieking:
"Ignorant fool! What are you doing? Are you trying to die?!"
