Chapter 2510: Chapter 23: Twenty-one Patterns and the Way of Cause and Effect (Part 3)
If it were before, Mo Hua would have opted for the straightforward "blaze" to burn it all.
But now, out and about, the days demand thrift; waste must be avoided.
Mo Hua had to exercise patience, cooking with a slow fire, refining bit by bit, just to leave no trace of "evil thoughts," nor waste a sliver of pure "telekinesis."
Finally, after Mo Hua’s careful slow fire refinement.
The ancestors of the Canglang Sect were completely obliterated.
A wave of long-missed, abundant, third-grade Golden Core realm telekinesis, like smoke on a clear day, was entirely absorbed by Mo Hua, and was instantly refined at the movement of Divine Thought.
Mo Hua spent extensive effort, refining day and night for a long time, but with little success seeing the bottleneck of Divine Thought melting like spring snow, gradually dissolving and continually rising.
The aura of Mo Hua’s Divine Thought grew ever stronger.
In his eyes, black and white light flowed.
The origins of deity and Heavenly Demon were also ceaselessly growing stronger...
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, all fluctuation ceased.
Mo Hua opened his eyes, a flash of golden light, the powerful aura of Divine Thought momentarily unable to be contained, spilled out automatically.
This Divine Thought, unparalleled in strength, like violent winds and waves, swept across the entirety of Canglang Mountain in the intangible and formless.
Yet the disciples of the Canglang Sect did not perceive any of it.
Only Sect Master Zhao of the Golden Core realm had a fleeting moment of shock, as if an ominous presence, its Divine Thought like an abyss, glanced at him as it swept past Canglang Mountain, and then everything vanished without a trace.
Sect Master Zhao’s pupils contracted, cold sweat dripping down his back.
This is... which lofty master passed by Canglang State?
Merely a wisp of overflowing Divine Thought could make him, a Golden Core Cultivator, feel asphyxiated?
Sect Master Zhao frowned, "But... isn’t Divine Sense supposed to be invisible and formless? Why is there such an oppressive feeling?"
"Moreover, how could such a lofty master pass by a remote place like Canglang City?"
Sect Master Zhao pondered deeply, suddenly his heart leaped, turning his gaze towards the direction of the Canglang Sect guest room, his pupils quaked, muttering:
"It can’t be... Young Master Mo, can it..."
"Is he really... a ’human’...?"
...
Inside the luxurious guest room of the Canglang Sect.
The "well-fed and satisfied" Mo Hua exhaled deeply, a smile appearing on his face.
Twenty-one patterns!
This was his first rise in the realm of Divine Sense since the transformation from the Blood Sacrifice.
Upon initial Golden Core, it was a Divine Sense of twenty patterns.
The initial stage of Golden Core starts with a Divine Sense of twenty-one patterns.
Yet most cultivators, not training Divine Sense, not using Divine Sense to Prove the Dao, most early-stage Golden Core cultivators have around twenty-one patterns of Divine Sense.
Mo Hua now, merely talking about the realm of Divine Sense on paper, ranks "mid-level" among early-stage Golden Core cultivators.
Not to mention, his Divine Thought, having undergone transformation akin to a deification, in terms of ’quality,’ far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.
As for how much stronger, Mo Hua cannot calculate.
In any case, quite strong. Moreover, will continue to grow stronger.
The heavens take vigorous action, the gentleman strives selflessly.
Though already formidable, there must always be a pursuit to exceed oneself, continuously making Divine Thought stronger, so formidable that all cultivators can only look up to it, strong to the point where just Divine Thought alone can connect heaven and earth.
Mo Hua clasped his smooth white palm.
Between his palms, as if holding the power to control the world.
With Divine Sense at twenty-one patterns, signifying another step into the Golden Core realm, Mo Hua let out a sigh, and then turned to another album:
"Great Wilderness Demon Bone Divination Skill."
This was a foundational divination skill of the Great Wilderness involving demon bones.
It recorded how to ignite Witch Fire, burn bones of various monster beasts, determine omens through patterns, and divine means of fortune and causality.
This divination skill is from ancient Great Wilderness techniques, profound and esoteric.
Mo Hua learned it at once.
After all, his aptitude in Divine Thought is evident, with a deep comprehension of Heavenly Mechanism Causality, merely lacking fundamental methods to utilize his immense "power."
This is akin to learning martial arts—after years of refining and honing great inner strength, only needing a simple move like "Grand Ancestor’s Long Fist" to knock others down with a single punch.
And this Great Wilderness Demon Bone Divination Skill, though a beginner’s skill of causality, is like a "key," opening a vast door of Heavenly Secrets for Mo Hua.
In the following two days, Mo Hua pored over the illustrations of the "Great Wilderness Demon Bone Divination Skill" repeatedly.
Though just a basic causality method, basics are often the utmost important.
Within it lies the fundamental composition logic of certain laws.
The more Mo Hua read, the more insights he gained. After days of contemplation, previously vague concepts gradually became clear, and his understanding of causality became deeper.
All things in the world have causes and effects.
Everything originates from a "cause," with cause giving rise to "effect," "effect" further becoming "cause," generating other "effects," and so forth...
Such causes and effects occur in cycles, forming a chain of causality.
This chain of causality serves as a clue and framework for the development of things.
For individuals, this is the "fate" of life.
A person’s destiny is the cumulative "causality" throughout their life.
Current actions are both cause and effect.
They are the "effect" of past "causes," while also serving as "causes" that create future "effects."
Mo Hua cupped his chin, reflecting using himself as an example.
For instance, him being a second-grade high-level Array Master now is due to his past, tireless drawing of formations on the Taoist Stele.
Becoming a Formation Master is the effect.
Constantly learning formations, drawing formations, and comprehending formations is the cause.
If he hadn’t continuously drawn formations, accumulating enough "causes," he wouldn’t have the "effect" he has today.
In the future, if he wants to become a formation grandmaster—achieve this "effect," it means from now on, he must continually accumulate "causes" for this "effect."
He needs to dedicate all his thoughts and efforts to cultivation and learning formations.
As long as the power of "cause" is sufficient, the corresponding "effect" will occur.
As long as his cultivation and insight into formations reach a certain level, he will inevitably become a formation grandmaster one day.
And all this causality also constitutes his "fate."
Reflecting on this, Mo Hua felt enlightened as if a rejuvenating clarity:
"Causality skill, in short, is utilizing the rules of causality to probe into, influence, or change the development trajectory of things, and even change a person’s lifetime fate..."
Changing fate means, firstly, using the Law of Causality to alter one’s own "fate."
Becoming the person one desires to be, walking the path one wants to walk, pursuing the Dao one seeks.
Secondly, one can manipulate others’ "fate" through the Causality Law.
Control others’ thoughts, actions, life’s advances and retreats, even life and death fortunes.
If the changes in causality are significant enough, altering numerous fates, it would form "fortune."
This grand fortune, a collection of numerous changes in causality, gathering the life charts of countless beings, is a broader domain upon the Way of Cause and Effect...
Heavenly secret.
