Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1670: Chapter 862: Dragon Bone

”Uncle Gu can’t see it either...”

In this entire Dragon King Temple, it seems I’m the only one who can see this Lifebound Dragon Bone Divine Statue.

Should I tell Uncle Gu about the statue?

After all, we’re all on the same side. During the journey to the Dragon King Temple, Uncle Gu and Xia Canonical Official provided quite a bit of help.

However, Mo Hua pondered for a moment and decided against it.

Since they can’t see it, telling them would be pointless.

Moreover, I’m now the master of the Dragon King Temple, and logically, everything here should belong to me.

Mo Hua collected the Lifebound Dragon Bone Divine Statue with a clear conscience.

He found a package and wrapped the statue in it, carrying it openly on his shoulder, yet even so, no one found it unusual.

It seemed that everyone subconsciously ignored the statue, along with its package.

This was a kind of ”invisibility” akin to a Heavenly Mechanism Technique.

Not seeing what was in plain sight, not hearing what was said aloud.

Mo Hua became increasingly convinced of his suspicion.

This statue definitely had a significant origin.

Afterward, Mo Hua wandered around the vicinity for a while, but there were no other discoveries, so he prepared to head back home.

Before leaving, he manipulated the White Bone Maze to hide the altar.

This altar still had its uses for him and couldn’t be destroyed just yet.

Likewise, considering this altar had already been exposed, the Master of the Great Wilderness was unlikely to use it again, likely severing the connection to prevent me from stealing its authority.

With the White Bone Maze as an obstacle, even if the Taoist Court came to investigate, they might not be able to reach the altar deep within.

Gu Changhuai also heeded Mo Hua’s ”suggestion” and resealed the inner hall’s doors to prevent anyone from accidentally stumbling into the White Bone Maze, becoming food for the blood zombies, or sacrifices for the Evil Demons.

For now, matters here came to a temporary halt, and Mo Hua prepared to leave afterward.

He had stayed in the Dragon King Temple for far too long.

Now that everything was ready, he could return to the Sect to prepare for a grand feast.

Gu Changhuai felt somewhat uneasy about Mo Hua, fearing he might cause some trouble at the last minute, so he planned to personally escort Mo Hua back to Taixu Gate to prevent any accidents on the road.

Accompanying them was Xia Canonical Official.

He also needed to return to the Taoist Court to handle the aftermath of the Rouge Boat incident, including matters regarding the Dragon King Temple and Xiao Zhenhai.

Xiao Tianquan was also on the same boat.

And so, the group boarded a small boat, leaving the Dragon King Temple, sailing into the misty waters of the Mistwater River.

...

Meanwhile, in a sect akin to a palace of jade and jadeite.

Disguised as ”Elder Shen,” and usually refined and gentle, Mr. Tu, was in his Elder’s Residence, fiddling with a Sheep Bone Compass, his face gloomy as he muttered to himself.

”I exhausted all my efforts to set up this grand scheme, yet still... it didn’t go as planned.”

”Sealing off the Dragon King Temple, isolating outsiders, massacring the temple guards, refining them into blood zombies, turning Mr. Witch into a yaksha, even having the Divine Lord’s Fetus descend didn’t stop it, couldn’t capture this Fierce God, truly incomprehensible...”

”This Fierce God, how terrifying it is...”

Mr. Tu’s eyes were cold as he sighed slightly.

”However... it’s okay, even though the situation isn’t looking too optimistic, it was within my expectations.”

”The Evil God’s Embryo is nearly immortal.”

”As long as one is parasitized by the Divine Fetus, the Divine Soul will gradually become polluted, transformed, and eventually completely assimilated, becoming an embryo hatched by the Divine Lord.”

”No one, no god, is exempt.”

Mr. Tu grinned fiercely, showing his bloodless teeth.

He still remembered the initial fear when a wisp of his soul was chased by this faceless Fierce God wielding a Golden Sword in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

But now, the tables have turned.

The Fierce God also finally fell into his trap once.

Even just this one time, it caused serious harm, deeply affecting its soul, likely being beyond redemption.

Even if this Fierce God could resist the ”pollution” and ”corruption” of the Divine Master, and didn’t fall into an Evil Embryo, it would be years, decades, or even centuries before it could wield the power of the Divine Soul again.

Unable to wander outside.

It could only hide in the Taixu Gate like a mouse, or in some temple, licking its wounds on its Divine Soul, living in constant fear, no longer able to obstruct the Divine Master’s grand plan.

When he awakens, the entire Qianxue State Boundary will have become a bloody purgatory.

And this ”false god” will be forever suppressed by the awakened Divine Master!

Mr. Tu let out a laughter as cold as a night owl’s.

But as he laughed, he felt his heart was bleeding.

Especially when he looked at the Sheep Bone Compass, at the myriad of demons under the dominion of the false god’s authority, bound to perish, Mr. Tu felt intense pain.

Nurturing Demon Monsters was no easy feat.

These Demon Monsters were the result of years of his labor.

It seemed that when the Fierce God realized it had been plotted against, its fury was truly terrifying.

However, everything was worth it.

Mr. Tu took a deep breath, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

”Having dealt with this Fierce God, we can continue to push forward with the subsequent plans...”

”Giving up the Dragon King Temple, since it has been searched through a hundred times over the centuries, there’s nothing worthwhile left inside.”

”The connection to the altar has also been severed to prevent any more leakage of the Divine Master’s authority.”

”It’s a pity about the Rouge Boat, but once discovered, there’s no helping it. Paper cannot wrap fire forever.”

”Since the Xia family arrived, you must let them have a share, give them some merit, otherwise, you cannot appease this passing fierce tiger.”

”The real show is only just beginning...”

Mr. Tu’s mouth curled into a knowing smile.

...

On the Mistwater River.

Mo Hua was on the small boat, looking at the reflection of the moon in the water, still contemplating about the Rouge Boat and the Dragon King Temple.

Especially the Dragon Bone Divine Statue he had just obtained.

Everyone on the boat was lost in their thoughts, not making a sound.

The small boat sailed silently.

Uncertain how much time had passed, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought stirred, suddenly raising his head to look into the deep night in the distance, his expression wary.

”A ship?”

Or a large ship?

Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official noticed it too and slowly stood, gripping their swords.

A moment later, a luxurious Spirit Boat emerged, breaking through the waves from the distant darkness, adorned with understated lights.

High above the Spirit Boat flew a flag, embroidered with the dignified and noble character ”Xia,” exuding an air of authority in the night.

Xia Canonical Official breathed a sigh of relief, ”It’s Uncle’s boat.”

”Uncle?” Mo Hua was startled.

Gu Changhuai’s expression was somewhat solemn, ”It’s Master Xia... an Inspector from the Central Dao Court, Feather Transformation Realm.”
