Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2479: Chapter 13: Nurture Evilness (Part 3)

You might end up entering a state of demonic possession, becoming a Great Demon Head, isolated from the Great Dao, rendering your path of Tao Cultivation completely doomed...

Mo Hua took a deep breath.

Only then did he realize that, unintentionally, he had already embarked on the path of ”nurturing righteous evilness” introduced by the Water Prison Sect.

And this path is located at the edge of a cliff, exceedingly narrow, allowing only progress without retreat.

Just one misstep would lead to falling into an abyss, doomed for eternity.

Moreover, the killings he has committed are deep and pure enough, the ”righteous evilness” he nurtures might become far stronger than all those nurtured by Water Prison Sect’s disciples...

Ordinary righteous evilness isn’t much.

But the amount of righteous evilness he has is truly terrifying.

Any slight anomaly could cause destructive consequences.

Mo Hua sighed deeply, feeling quite helpless.

Should a Foundation Establishment cultivator really bear such significant karma?

”Not only is Evil Transformation Skill and Transferring Evil Skill very challenging...”

”Nurturing evilness is also akin to nurturing ’Heaven’s Thunder’, posing a colossal hidden threat. A slight carelessness could result in being crushed to pieces.”

”One must especially avoid killing an innocent person, otherwise just a little killing karma could lead to ’evil evilness’, acting like a fuse that instantly detonates the unstable ’righteous evilness’, condemning oneself to eternal annihilation...”

But the situation is as it is, the killing karma is deep, righteous evilness is vast, and it’s irrevocable. One must tread carefully, step by step...

Mo Hua pondered in his heart:

”From now on, refrain from killing unless absolutely necessary.”

”As long as no killing is done, it won’t touch karma. The state of evil Qi remains entirely safe.”

”If killing is unavoidable, one must ensure the person deserved to die. This will only increase ’righteous evilness’, while the backlash from the evil Qi can be barely resolved using the Seven Souls Blood Prison Pupil and Demon Path Transferring Evil Skill, though excessive killing in a single instance should be avoided...”

”As for the innocent, absolutely no killing. If wicked evilness is nurtured and pollutes one’s righteous evilness, the consequences would be unimaginable...”

Mo Hua settled his mind, organized his thoughts, and slowly nodded.

”Humans can be differentiated by good and evil, evilness can be divided into righteous and wicked, good and evil can transform, and righteous and wicked can mutually convert...”

With this thought, Mo Hua’s heart trembled, suddenly feeling as though he understood something.

Yet when he pondered carefully, he found it obscure and elusive, like a deer hanging its horn, leaving no trace.

He knew this was due to his insufficient cultivation level, limited vision, and lack of profound understanding of the Great Dao.

Nevertheless, Mo Hua wasn’t in a hurry, understanding that such realizations must be approached step by step.

With daily accumulation and constant learning and thinking, there will inevitably be a day when everything becomes clear.

Mo Hua stood up, erased the traces of the Formation around him, and covered the marks of the Fireball Technique all around.

Then, using Mud Sand Skill, he leveled the ground, ensuring no traces were left, and then departed.

Walking along the mountain path, Mo Hua remained preoccupied.

He thought about nurturing evilness, then about Evil Transformation Skill and Transferring Evil Skill, then about the Seven Souls Blood Prison Pupil, and the origin of the evil Qi Fireball Technique. Suddenly, Mo Hua froze:

”Blood Prison Pupil is the secret technique of Shui Yan Luo.”

”Fire-series spells, combined with the fear of evil Qi, are the exclusive evil techniques of Fire Buddha...”

”It seems I’ve already... mastered both, becoming a combination of the two Great Demon Heads, Fire Buddha and Shui Yan Luo, of Qianxue?”

Moreover, surpassing them?

Mo Hua sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

Later, he traveled several dozen miles and reached the first, and almost the only, Little Immortal City at the state boundary of Xiaojie County.

Mo Hua stood outside the Little Immortal City, watching the bustling people inside, hesitating for a long time, but eventually decided to enter the city.

He realized that if he traveled alone and encountered some ”evil people”, he might unavoidably harbor the intent to kill, unable to resist.\

This won’t do; he needs to find some people to ”protect” himself, avoiding further killings.

Mo Hua entered the city, walked around for a while, and came to a security bureau.

The security bureau housed one of the few Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators in the Little Immortal City at the state boundary.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator was about one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, with half-white hair and a tall, robust figure, exuding a cheerful demeanor.

He was in the Little Immortal City at the state boundary for the purpose of escorting goods, and when returning to the city, he would also take on extra tasks escorting cultivators for some extra earnings.

Although he was at the Foundation Establishment, at a higher realm, he still had to make a living, taking care of his family.

Especially in smaller places where resources are scarce.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, just the act of cultivation itself is a considerable expense, and daily living costs are tight, requiring resourcefulness to find ways to earn more Spirit Stones.

Even earning just one more is beneficial.

”Master Luo, I would like to request you to accompany me on a journey.”

Mo Hua approached the Foundation Establishment cultivator, cupping his hands.

He had inquired earlier, knowing that this Foundation Establishment cultivator’s surname was Luo, and was the head of the Luo family’s security bureau in Canglang City.

And coincidentally, Canglang City was where the Canglang Sect was located, right on his route.

Master Luo was leading a horse, and upon hearing these words, raised an eyebrow in surprise at Mo Hua’s otherworldly appearance and disposition, while internally doubting:

”As a dignified Foundation Establishment, I can’t see through this young man’s reality...”

He asked, ”May I inquire your esteemed surname and origins, and where are you headed?”

Mo Hua replied with a gentle smile, ”I am surnamed Mo. By the order of my Sect, I am traveling abroad, and I’m heading to Canglang City. However, fearing the dangers along the way, I would like to ask Master Luo to accompany me on my journey.”

The words were spoken rather correctly.

Yet Master Luo still hesitated.

So Mo Hua took out ten Spirit Stones, ”I’m willing to pay extra.”

Master Luo was taken aback.

The trip to Canglang City was quite far, and generally, the escort fee was five Spirit Stones, although not much, it was considered a substantial amount for the average Loose Cultivator, especially the impoverished ones nearby.

And now, Mo Hua was offering ten Spirit Stones.

”He must be some rich young master’s son out for leisure, unaware of the hardships of earning Spirit Stones...”

Master Luo thought silently, scrutinizing Mo Hua further, seeing his lovely appearance and gentle demeanor, harmless-looking.

”Unable to discern his cultivation level, must have brought a treasure to conceal his cultivation. Yet he’s so young, his cultivation level shouldn’t be high, such a handsome young man traveling alone, it’s normal to worry about encountering dangers...”

Master Luo felt a sense of protection, nodded, ”Alright, accompany me.”

Mo Hua smiled, cupping his hands, ”Thank you.”

Then, everyone took half a day to prepare, Master Luo coordinated affairs with the security bureau, and led the convoy, taking both cargo and people along.

Mo Hua mixed in with the group.

With the protection of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage head of the security bureau, the journey went much more safely.

Even if they encountered clueless bandits, there was no need for Mo Hua to act. Master Luo, along with the heads and escorts from the security bureau, handled them.

Mo Hua only needed to sip tea, enjoy some snacks, and watch from the side, without needing to intervene.

”Indeed, living requires learning to ’slack off’.”

”Traveling with a group is much more comfortable...”

Mo Hua thought this way.
