Chapter 2036: Chapter 975: Anomaly In the Sea of Consciousness, under the Taoist Stele. Mo Hua concentrated and meditated, calming his mind. When the Taoist Heart was like a clear mirror, neither sad nor joyful, undisturbed by waves, seamless and flawless, he reached out to grasp the strand of golden, radiant Third Grade Divine Marrow and swallowed it whole, refining it instantly. The Third Grade Divine Marrow appeared to be just a strand, but it was immensely pure and powerful. A surge of extremely pure Divine Thought filled his entire being in an instant. The pure golden marrow substance merged into every part of Mo Hua’s incarnation of Divine Thought, gradually repairing the Divine Marrow he had lost in the battle with the Evil Embryo at Solitary Mountain City. Strands born of heaven and earth, merging into the Divine Way, became part of Mo Hua’s Origin little by little. It was as if repairing a "congenitally deficient" deity. Or as if enabling a "deity" that was not a deity to complete its essential transformation. Mo Hua’s mind became clear, his divinity gradually perfected, and his incarnation of Divine Thought was nurtured and supplemented bit by bit by the Third Grade Divine Marrow. The bottleneck that had hindered him for so long began to loosen. The Laws of the Heavenly Dao no longer suppressed him. It seemed as if the Heavenly Dao, in its mysterious ways, permitted him to break through the Realm. In a moment of enlightenment, Mo Hua understood. Why, despite having been just a step away, no amount of tempering of his Sea of Consciousness or consumption of Divine Sense allowed him to break through to Twenty Patterns. It was because, strictly speaking, his Divine Thought had already approached the state of a "Demigod." The evolution of all things follows the Heavenly Dao. The "Dao" of human and deity evolution differs. His physical body remained human. But his Divine Thought had transcended the realm of ordinary "humans." Thus, the Heavenly Dao’s requirements for him naturally differed from those for ordinary "humans." Ordinary cultivators practice Formation every day, temper their Sea of Consciousness, and absorb so much Telekinesis that they certainly reach Twenty Patterns long ago. But he was different. He had to consume Third Grade Divine Marrow to nurture his Divine Sense, enrich his divinity, and fill the Daoification, enabling his Divine Thought to advance in "quality," perhaps even to the standard of "deity." Only then would the Heavenly Dao allow him to break through the Realm. After understanding this, Mo Hua felt a bit unhappy. He was clearly human, yet breaking through a Divine Sense realm had such harsh requirements. This was clearly "racial" discrimination by the Heavenly Dao. However, as a little cultivator in Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t argue with the Heavenly Dao. He could only obey the established Laws of Heaven and Earth, letting his Divine Sense evolve step by step. Ultimately, what it would evolve into, Mo Hua couldn’t say. But since he walked the "deity" framework, he imagined it wouldn’t be weak. Mo Hua calmed his mind and continued refining the Divine Marrow, digesting it piece by piece, transforming the laws, Daoification, divinity, and other elements contained within it into nutrients to nurture and expand his Divine Sense. His Divine Sense was growing bit by bit. The Origin of his Divine Thought was also undergoing the tempering of Dao’s Laws, purging impurities, and becoming increasingly pure. The color of the Origin, in this "Marrow Cleansing" type of "tempering," was almost pure gold. Gold is never perfect, nor is man faultless. Yet Mo Hua’s Divine Thought was evolving towards "pure gold" through tempering. This process was extremely slow. The closer he came to the end, the more he lagged by that tiny bit, the slower the "tempering" became. But Mo Hua was not anxious. The Heavenly Dao abides by its own laws. Fruits ripen naturally, water flows naturally into channels. Understanding the Heavenly Dao, following its natural course, and achieving success without haste. With this natural mindset, Mo Hua’s heart remained peaceful, his Divine Thought clear, making use of this opportunity to meticulously experience the transformation within his Divine Sense. Experiencing how the Divine Thought of a deity underwent tempering to complete Daoification transformation. This came innately to deities of exceptional talents; they didn’t need to learn or comprehend it. However, Mo Hua was not inherently a deity. These things deities innately possess, regarded as self-evident Daoification by deities, were completely unfamiliar Laws to Mo Hua. Thus, he was watching, learning, thinking, pondering. Comprehending these Laws. Contemplating the essence of the Divine Law. This was an endeavor only a human could undertake. And in this enlightenment, Mo Hua’s understanding of "Daoification" deepened further. Some of the Divine Marrow’s Laws transformed into nutrients, merged into his subconscious, and unknowingly, the last "impurity" in his Divine Thought was thoroughly refined, turning into flawless gold. Thus, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought became pure gold, immaculate, and dazzling. The bottleneck shattered completely, vanishing without a trace. A golden "deity" Great Dao descended from the heavens, paving the Life Chart’s path for Mo Hua, intertwining with his humanoid journey, merging together. The Divine Way and Human Dao resonated in harmony. At this point, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought finally reached Twenty Patterns. Twenty Patterns, Divine Sense Core Formation! In that instant, the heavens and earth underwent a change. A beam of golden Divine Thought shot up into the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun, lighting up the entire night sky of Taixu Mountain as if it were day. Then the golden light spread around, sprouting leaves, manifesting as a radiant, law-infused, pure golden Divine Authority Tree. This Divine Authority Tree bore not leaves, but Formation Patterns! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 With Formation Patterns as leaves, the Formation Pivot as branches, and Innate Laws as the formation eye, it was a towering, radiant Divine Authority Tree piercing the sky. The Law of the Great Dao flowed within it. The golden light spread, with thousands of formations and ten thousand techniques unfurling like myriad pear blossoms, covering the entire Taixu Mountain.
