Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, "Of course! I’m not an idiot. How could I practice now."
"Moreover, I can’t even cultivate Sword Intent, and I don’t know the basic Transforming Sword Skill. Even if I want to learn more advanced sword forms, I simply can’t... "
Mo Hua’s eyes flickered slightly.
Patriarch Dugu immediately furrowed his brows.
By intuition, he felt there was something wrong with Mo Hua’s 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?
That’s 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."
It’s 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 Skill’s "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, he’ll 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 Hua’s stubbornness, helplessly said, "Then it’s the God-slaying one..."
Anyway, whether it’s God-breaking or God-slaying, there’s 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. You’ll have to comprehend it yourself. If you understand it, it means you can understand it. If not, it means you still don’t 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 doesn’t say, he could figure it out.
If he doesn’t get it, it shows that he doesn’t have deep enlightenment or enough control, so he shouldn’t even talk about "God-breaking" or "God-slaying"; he should continue practicing Sword Qi from the basics.
Mo Hua asked again, "Ancestor, weren’t there three bamboo scrolls?"
He had sharp eyes and saw the ancestor take out three bamboo scrolls from an unknown void.
Patriarch Dugu’s face turned black, "Only one."
Mo Hua stared at him.
Patriarch Dugu’s 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 shouldn’t 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 don’t practice."
Then Patriarch Dugu instructed, "Also, keep this bamboo scroll safe, don’t let outsiders see it, and never lose it. Return it after reading..."
Mo Hua agreed wholeheartedly, "Rest assured, ancestor, I’ve remembered it all!"
The hour was late, and afterward, Patriarch Dugu sent Mo Hua back to the Disciple’s Residence.
Back at the Disciple’s Residence, Mo Hua couldn’t 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 Dao’s 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.
It’s 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, he’s 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.
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 Hua’s 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:
Sword Intent instantly broke through the void, through Mo Hua’s 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 wasn’t Mo Hua who screamed.
At the same time, Mo Hua’s face turned dark and sinister, transforming into the Evil Baby, shrieking:
"Ignorant fool! What are you doing? Are you trying to die?!"
