Chapter 1077 -673: Divine Tao Array

It’s finished, I said too much at once.

Mo Hua’s eyes, innocent yet profound, dazzling as the stars, insightful as candlelight, stared at Lord Yellow Mountain.

Lord Yellow Mountain felt uneasy under the gaze.

”Cough, it’s… just that I’ve lived… a bit longer

Lord Yellow Mountain quickly organized his thoughts, “Deities have long lifespans. This Kushan is uninhabited, with a desolate temple, just a Minor Mountain God dwelling here without disturbance. Time just seems to pass by, adding a bit more to one’s life.”

”And then later, sigh… if it weren’t for my missteps that led to your Sect’s elders severing my foundation, I wouldn’t have fallen to such a state

Lord Yellow Mountain sighed, feigning a look of dejection.

Mo Hua suddenly felt slightly embarrassed.

Although it was not him who severed Lord Yellow Mountain, it had been the action of a predecessor from his Taixu Gate.

Having broken Lord Yellow Mountain’s Divine Way foundation, he was somewhat involved in this karma.

Nevertheless, Mo Hua still wanted to clear the name of his predecessors from his Sect, raising a finger to correct:

”That was because you went down the wrong path, it was the Sword Cultivator predecessor who severed you, it wasn’t their fault.”

”Yes, yes,” Lord Yellow Mountain nodded repeatedly, admitting frankly, “It’s indeed my fault.”

Mo Hua then nodded with satisfaction.

Lord Yellow Mountain silently diverted the topic, asking nonchalantly:

”What else did you want to ask?”

Mo Hua was indeed distracted by Lord Yellow Mountain’s words, no longer fixating on exactly how long he had lived.

What else did he want to ask?

Mo Hua blinked, pondering in his mind.

There were still many things he wanted to ask, all mixed and chaotic, some of which even Lord Yellow Mountain might not be able to answer.

Given this, it was best to start with the most essential current issue.

”If… I encountered an Evil God

Lord Yellow Mountain’s hands shook, taking in a cold breath, his voice changed, “You’ve encountered an Evil God?!”

Mo Hua stressed, “I said ‘if’!”

Only then did Lord Yellow Mountain breathe a sigh of relief, “You scared me, kid

Mo Hua was somewhat confused, “I just mentioned it, are you that afraid?”

Lord Yellow Mountain shook his head, “You don’t understand how fearsome an Evil God can truly be

”Ordinary Evil Gods are often bloodthirsty and vindictive

”Some ancient Evil Gods are even more horrifying, with overwhelming Evil Thoughts. Being targeted by them, let alone ordinary cultivators, even genuine deities often do not meet a good end

”If you truly encounter an Evil God, it’s best to run as far as you can.”

”Once entangled in their schemes, becoming an Evil God’s pawn is the least of concerns. If flesh is tainted, Divine Thought corroded, and the Taoist Heart degenerates, turning into the Evil God’s sacrifice, puppet, or servant… that’s truly worse than death—unable to live, nor to die

A sigh echoed silently in Mo Hua’s heart.

Such was the speech, but alas, it was too late…

Having practiced the Cultivation Technique Heaven Yan Jue, I’ve essentially boarded the ship of thieves.

Even if the Evil God doesn’t come for me, I’m afraid I’ll have to seek them out…

Without “consuming” them, how can I break through the bottleneck, how can I improve my Cultivation, how can I Breakthrough my Realm?

Lord Yellow Mountain was about to say something, but then he suddenly paused, casting a cautious glance at Mo Hua, “You haven’t… actually encountered an Evil God, have you?”

Mo Hua raised an eyebrow slightly, “If I had really encountered an Evil God, would I still be here all safe and sound?”

Lord Yellow Mountain thought for a moment, then nodded:

”That’s true

Even if this little ancestor had great abilities, there was no reason he could have escaped an Evil God.

Not being corrupted by the Evil God and devoured alive was already fortunate, how could he still be here chatting and laughing with me?

Lord Yellow Mountain silently nodded, yet puzzled, “Why are you asking about Evil Gods?”

Mo Hua sighed, “The Cultivation World is so perilous, I am just a frail little cultivator, trembling in fear as if walking on thin ice, naturally I need to know a little more

”The more one knows, the lesser the danger.”

”Especially with something as ‘terrifying’ as Evil Gods, knowing in advance, understanding both sides, if ever encountered in the future, there would be some way to guard against, not to carelessly fall into their clutches, and be ‘eaten’ by an Evil God

After pondering for a moment, Lord Yellow Mountain believed Mo Hua’s bluff.

It thought what Mo Hua said was quite reasonable.

Although, as a Mountain God, its intuition told that this kid Mo Hua was an unknown huge trouble.

But setting the troubles aside, it actually quite liked Mo Hua.

Pure aura, charming appearance.

For so many years, it was the only one who had braved mountains and rivers to bring offerings for it to enjoy.

Though occasionally, a hint of malevolence lingered among his innocence.

Within his purity, there was a trace of the bizarre.

But a cultivator who can deal with a Mountain God like itself, and still a little kid, it’s only natural that there are some extraordinary aspects.

”Let’s consider this the forming of a good relationship

Lord Yellow Mountain took another bite of the chicken leg.

It’s not sure how the chicken leg was prepared, but it’s truly delicious.

Biting the hand that feeds one doesn’t feel good, it couldn’t keep concealing, to avoid appearing petty in front of this little kid.

”Deities differ from mortals, as a Mountain God, such matters I shouldn’t really tell you

Lord Yellow Mountain sighed again, “But, you kid, are a bit special, and now having met me, a Mountain God, encountering an Evil God in the future isn’t impossible, considering these offerings; I’ll tell you a bit

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, and he quickly shuffled closer to Lord Yellow Mountain.

Lord Yellow Mountain coughed, cleared his throat, and slowly said:

”Matters concerning Evil Gods are complex, and furthermore, it’s a long story. Without the relevant knowledge, I can only start from the beginning
