Chapter 1194: Chapter 710: Flaw_2 There’s a problem. Then, a spontaneously generated Law descended upon Mo Hua. His Divine Sense was still increasing, but the bottleneck remained unyielding, and all the increased Divine Sense had inexplicably flowed to some unknown place, directly sinking without a trace. The realm of his Divine Sense also ceased to rise. Mo Hua was dumbfounded. "What’s going on...?" "Where is my Eighteen Patterns Divine Sense?" "I was so close..." Mo Hua looked around and found that at some point, a strange crack had appeared out of thin air in his Sea of Consciousness. This crack was pitch black and deep, carrying a profound golden hue. It was as if some kind of tangible embodiment of the Dao Laws had manifested. This Law, created out of nothing, integrated seamlessly with his Sea of Consciousness. And all the Divine Thought growth from Refining Demon Monsters and devouring telekinesis had been swallowed by this crack. It was as if the Heavenly Dao did not allow his Divine Sense to grow any stronger, so it added a Law temporarily to patch up the loophole... This Law manifested as a crack of darkness with golden hues within the emptiness. The moment Mo Hua’s Divine Sense increased, it would "confiscate" the growth to suppress the strengthening of his Divine Sense. It confined his Divine Sense within certain limits, preventing it from breaking through a certain extreme... Mo Hua was stunned. What does this mean? Am I a "loophole" in the Heavenly Dao now? So the Heavenly Dao added a Law temporarily to fix this "loophole" in me? That’s hardly likely... Mo Hua couldn’t help feeling a bit resentful. As a mere Foundation Building Cultivator, surely I’m not being "targeted" like this... It seems like this is the second time. Mo Hua remembered when he initially broke through to Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense soared swiftly, but it seemed to exceed the limits later and was counter-pressed by some Heavenly Dao Laws. Moreover, with the intervention of Heaven Yan Jue and Mysterious Heaven Great Formation to reconstruct his Divine Sense, it had to change from "quantity" to being suppressed into "quality." Now it’s the same situation again... Just one step away, on the verge of Eighteen Patterns, and now suddenly restricted by a Law. Mo Hua couldn’t help but curl his lips and muttered: "The Heavenly Dao is really petty..." After the muttering, Mo Hua sighed. The "composition" of his Sea of Consciousness has become quite complicated now. The Sea of Consciousness belonged to him, with his own Divine Thought incarnation within it. In addition, there was the mysterious Taoist Stele, the devastating Thunder Pattern, and now, an inexplicable Law of the Heavenly Dao had joined. Especially this Heavenly Dao Law... Mo Hua’s head ached a bit. He absorbed Demon Thoughts again, expended his Divine Sense, and manifested the Formation to test several times, getting a rough idea of the purpose of this Law. This Law was there to deduct Divine Sense. His Divine Sense could be used normally, expended normally, and restored normally, but it could no longer "increase." Once it increased, it would be "deducted" by this Law that resembled a void crack. Mo Hua felt worried. Deducting a bit of Divine Sense didn’t matter much, but when would it end? It surely can’t deduct for a lifetime... Or perhaps when his Cultivation catches up and the Realm balances with the Divine Sense—or at least isn’t so far-fetched—this Law will disappear on its own? Or is it when the deducted Divine Sense reaches a certain limit, it will then vanish? The Dao is aloof, the Laws silent; no one could tell Mo Hua the answer. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 Mo Hua sighed deeply. "Let’s leave it at that for now..." A contented heart is an everlasting feast. Seventeen Patterns it is, then. And his Divine Sense should be considered the peak of Seventeen Patterns, just a hair away from Eighteen Patterns... This level of Divine Sense is "barely" sufficient for his current Realm. As for the future, Mo Hua pondered and felt it didn’t matter how long this Law intended to "withhold," since there was nothing he could do about it... And who could be sure about the affairs of Dao Laws? Since that’s the case, he may as well proceed step by step, faithfully continue his Cultivation, and keep refining his Divine Sense as always. With higher Cultivation or sufficient Divine Sense, he would eventually lift the restriction of this Law. Mo Hua then gazed again at the Dao Law that resembled a void crack in his Sea of Consciousness and suddenly felt puzzled. "What exactly is a Law?" "Why does a Law manifest in this form?" "Blackness with golden hues, like a rift in the void... Why can it devour Divine Sense?" "The void, a rift... Could it be related to the regulations of the ’Heaven Void Realm’?" Mo Hua suddenly felt profound. He decided to study this "Law" when he had the chance, to see if he could uncover some principles and learn something. Since this "uninvited guest" came out of nowhere to his Sea of Consciousness, he had to figure out a way to benefit from it, or else it would be too wasteful. Thinking this way, Mo Hua’s mood instantly improved. Dao Laws! He had never encountered them before. Or to say, this was not something a Foundation Building Cultivator, or even an ordinary Cultivator, could come into contact with. Now a clear and distinct Dao Law had materialized and stayed in his Sea of Consciousness, constantly deducting his Divine Sense. Though it deducted Divine Sense and restricted its growth, it also gave him an opportunity to witness with his own eyes the manifestation and operation of a Dao Law. In every situation, misfortune and fortune depend on each other, and advantages coexist with disadvantages. Mo Hua nodded and felt spirited. For the time being, he had no time to study, as he had to finish "eating" the Demon Monsters. The "takeout" from the Demon Monsters he ordered on the altar still had plenty left, and couldn’t be wasted. Mo Hua continued to "eat" Demon Thoughts. But this time, he ate with a certain "flavorlessness."
