Chapter 1386: Chapter 771 Inheritance "Yes, it’s the right time now, use that expression I taught you..." Mo Hua remotely instructed Ouyang Mu. Ouyang Mu suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. The expression he’d practiced all night had finally found its use. First, he put on a serious face to show his firm Taoist Heart, unaffected, but his eyes still flickered slightly, reflecting his inner turmoil and desire for higher sword-casting skills... The Evil Arms Master gave a slight smile. Got him! This kid, all seven emotions and six desires are written on his face, all intentions plainly visible. Though the expression is somewhat stiff. But for someone naive, inner conflict and stiff demeanor are normal. The Evil Arms Master continued: "This Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is heavily guarded, sealed off in all directions; the only exit on the Central Main Road is controlled by the Leader." The Evil Arms Master’s gaze intensified, "That path is blocked by a very profound and obscure formation. Such a formation, so far, I’ve only seen the Leader use." "Without understanding the essence of the Formation, let alone an ordinary Second Grade Array Master, even Third or Fourth Grade Array Masters would be helpless..." At this point, the Evil Arms Master suddenly felt a bit wistful. "The disparity between Masters of Formation is far greater than among Artifact Refiners." "The barriers between formations are far deeper and more unknowable than refining artifacts..." "No wonder our status as Artifact Refiners is far beneath that of Formation Masters..." The Evil Arms Master turned his head, looking at Ouyang Mu, his voice hoarse: "I’m telling you this to make you understand that now you’ve entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, abandon any unrealistic fantasies." "Rather than resisting pointlessly, dying here, being eaten by Monster Beasts, leaving no bones behind, it’s better to press forward and dedicate the rest of your life to sword casting." "Even if it means stepping onto the Evil Path, even if it means eternal damnation, never lose the ambition to forge the supreme sword weapon..." ... Mo Hua felt a bit enlightened listening. This old Evil Arms Master surprisingly has such aspirations; it’s quite... impressive. Moreover, the information he disclosed is very intriguing. The only exit on the Central Main Road is controlled by the "Leader." A very profound and obscure formation is blocking the path. Even Third or Fourth Grade Array Masters might be helpless... Could that be... the Divine Formation? And this "Leader," being able to control the Divine Formation, implies he is likely a Divine Way Array Master? Mo Hua was slightly shocked. A genuine Divine Way Array Master... Must be a master! If given the chance, he must meet him, learn a thing or two, and then figure out a way to eliminate him. The Divine Formation must be learned. But the Divine Way Array Master, must not be left alive! After listening to the Evil Arms Master, Little Wood was still somewhat dazed, unsure of what to do. Mo Hua continued to guide him on his performance: "Add a bit of despair to your expression..." "Think of yourself as never getting out, trapped here for life, destined only to be an Evil Arms Master, never to become a true Sword-Casting Master..." Ouyang Mu’s expression indeed turned to despair. "Then show a look of contemplation, a bit of conflict..." "Conflict over whether to stick to the Righteous Dao, resisting to the death, or to retreat for the sake of pursuing the path of refining and cast an Evil Sword..." This goes without saying; Ouyang Mu was conflicted from the start. "Finally, let your gaze become firm, make a resolution..." "Even if it’s casting an Evil Sword, you must become an unparalleled Evil Sword Master, creating the world’s greatest demonic sword, reaching the supreme Great Dao of sword weapons!" Ouyang Mu automatically replaced the words "Evil Sword" with "Spirit Sword," and his heart indeed surged with a wave of fervent impulse. "Yes, that’s right, I want to be the greatest Sword-Casting Master!" Ouyang Mu’s wooden expression was as firm as a mountain, his eyes erupting with fiery determination and passion. The Evil Arms Master was stunned by what he saw, even feeling that this moment of Ouyang Mu was somewhat dazzling. This pure obsession with sword casting made him feel a sense of shame and self-remorse. But in an instant, all these emotions were hidden away. The Evil Arms Master nodded, saying, "Very good!" Many times, a person’s words can be false, but emotions cannot be faked. Ouyang Mu’s inner journey was almost clearly displayed on his face, more convincing than his spoken words. The Evil Arms Master prided himself on accurately reading people, confident in his judgment. Just like yesterday, he took out a White Bone and handed it to Ouyang Mu, saying indifferently: "Refine this White Bone, merge it with refined iron. As a disciple of the Ouyang Family, you should know the refining methods, I don’t need to say much..." The tone was indifferent, but the attitude was much more relaxed. Ouyang Mu hesitated for a moment, looking down at his sleeve, seeing Mo Hua had sent a word: "Refine." The words of this old Monster cultivator were misleading, but not entirely wrong. After a person dies, bones are just dead things, simply refining them and merging with refined iron doesn’t count as much, nor would it immediately turn one into an Evil Arms Master. But the prohibition against using human blood, skin, and bones for refining... This rule is strictly enforced by the Taoist Court. Because if not strictly enforced, someone would exploit the loopholes. Once an Artifact Refiner starts using human bones, over time, it becomes a habit, and in the end, they might resort to murder, annihilating families, to procure bones for refining. Do not pursue evil, no matter how small. Therefore, preventing trouble before it occurs is necessary. Currently, Ouyang Mu’s situation is unique; he’s being coerced by Monster cultivators. If he doesn’t step out of line and refine a little human bone, his life will be lost, so it is understandable. Even at the Taoist Court, there’s an explanation for this. This is called "Emergency Evasion."
