Chapter 2038: Chapter 975: Phenomenon (Part 3) Mo Hua thought for a moment, and without hiding anything, whispered: "Elder Master, I think... I have formed a core..." "Core formation?" Elder Master Xun was stunned, looked at Mo Hua, who still only had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, with a perplexed gaze, "What kind of core have you formed?" Mo Hua quietly said, "My divine sense... has formed a core." Divine sense core formation? Elder Master Xun paused for a moment, unable to react. When he realized what Mo Hua was talking about, he felt a chill rush straight to his crown, his scalp tingling as his head buzzed, even his voice quivered slightly: "You... your divine sense... formed a core?" Mo Hua nodded honestly, feeling somewhat puzzled. Didn’t the ancestor come because he knew I had formed a core? Why was he so shocked? He didn’t know I formed a core? Then why did he come? Elder Master Xun released his divine sense to carefully perceive the divine thought emanating from Mo Hua, realizing that this divine sense was more condensed, purer, deeper than usual, and had undergone a near "substantial" change, which finally confirmed it. It’s really... divine sense core formation!! Elder Master Xun’s breath caught as his hand in his sleeve trembled slightly. Forming a core isn’t much; every year Taixu Gate has many disciples who form cores. For the average cultivator, core formation is a major hurdle in the cultivator’s life. But in his eyes, as someone who had lived for hundreds, even thousands of years, and as a Heaven Void Ancestor, a Golden Core is merely the beginning. Of all the Golden Core cultivators he had seen in his lifetime, he couldn’t even count them. However... Foundation Establishment Realm, divine sense core formation?! This is truly not something to be taken lightly... Not just in his lifetime, but even throughout the thousands of years of Taixu Gate, or even tracing back ten thousand years to the cultivation history of the Three Sects, it’s unprecedented! The divine sense cannot be cultivated, so it’s based on the cultivation realm. Generally, surpassing by one rank already denotes extraordinary talent. Surpassing two or three ranks is inconceivable. But now, Mo Hua has surpassed an entire realm! This step beyond a major realm isn’t just the difference of one pattern but is drastically more than double the disparity. Even for a Heaven Void Ancestor like him, it felt somewhat terrifying. Even knowing Mo Hua’s talent on the path of divine sense was good, he didn’t dare think in this direction at all. Elder Master Xun looked at Mo Hua, seeing his clear and bright eyes, his divinity brimming, and a hint of profound insight into the world. All these qualities intertwined, making him seem both like a pure-hearted demon head, a young deity, and an evil monster with a mind close to that of the divine. Even Elder Master Xun began to question Mo Hua’s "species" at this moment. Is this truly a "human" talent...? "Taixu Gate has probably truly raised an extraordinary ’Little Ancestor’ this time..." Elder Master Xun thought in shock. "Ancestor, is something wrong?" Mo Hua was still somewhat bewildered. Seeing this, Elder Master Xun knew Mo Hua hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation. And this matter might be more terrifying than he had previously anticipated. "When did your divine sense form a core?" Elder Master Xun asked sternly. "Just now..." "Who else knows?" Mo Hua shook his head. Elder Master Xun exhaled a breath of relief, and then with an extremely serious tone said: "You must never tell anyone about this, absolutely remember, don’t tell a soul! Even if someone notices, you must deny it outright, never admit it!" With Foundation Building Cultivation, divine sense forming a core, surpassing an entire major realm completely overturns the known Heavenly Dao Laws. If word leaks out, it will surely stir a huge wave in the cultivation world, attracting the coveting gaze of countless forces. Being envied, framed, drawn in, tempted, murdered, imprisoned... or even getting caught in a giant whirlpool of conspiracy, inviting various disasters upon oneself. Being captured, treated like a lab rat, dissected and researched, isn’t impossible... Thinking of this, Elder Master Xun felt a chill in his heart. Mo Hua also realized the fear, solemnly nodding. "Remember well, don’t ever mention it." "Mm, mm!" Seeing Mo Hua’s grave expression, clearly understanding the stakes, Elder Master Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered another question: "Did any anomaly occur with your divine sense core formation?" "An anomaly?" Mo Hua furrowed his brows, "What anomaly?" He genuinely didn’t know. Elder Master Xun frowned, also uncertain. The scenes of endless golden light and a divine tree covering the sky floated in his mind, and Elder Master Xun pondered: "Was that scene just now, that giant golden tree, an anomaly from Mo Hua’s divine sense core formation?" "It shouldn’t be possible... just forming a core, it shouldn’t have such a grand scene..." "But in the Foundation Establishment Realm, divine sense core formation is too ’deviant’, already beyond the Heavenly Dao norms, from this perspective, it’s not impossible... " "Whether this anomaly was caused by Mo Hua..." Seeing Mo Hua also unclear, Elder Master Xun sighed softly. "Forget it, whether it is or isn’t, one way or another, we have to find ways to cover it up, can’t let suspicion arise." Elder Master Xun resumed a calm demeanor and feigned nonchalance: "It’s nothing, I was just asking casually." "Oh." Mo Hua nodded without thinking much. "Remember what I said, don’t overthink and rest well." Elder Master Xun advised again. "Yes, Elder Master, I’ve remembered everything." Mo Hua replied earnestly. "Good." Elder Master Xun nodded slightly, took a deep look at Mo Hua, and then his figure flashed, leaving the Disciple’s Residence. A void rift flashed, Elder Master Xun returned to the Elder’s Residence, and before settling down, a guest arrived. It was the Sect Leader of Taixu Gate. "Ancestor, it seems there was some anomaly in the sky just now..." The Taixu Sect Master frowned. Elder Master Xun’s heart moved, replied without showing emotion: "What did you see?" "It seemed like there were strands of golden light in the sky, and some mysterious fragmented patterns..." The Taixu Sect Master said. Elder Master Xun understood they hadn’t truly seen the scene, exhaled slowly, contemplated for a moment, and said: "There was indeed a minor anomaly, nothing serious, all dealt with. Tell the elders who saw it not to be overly alarmed, but also not to spread it." Not to be overly alarmed, but not spread? Taixu Sect Master felt this was a bit odd, but since the ancestor said so, there must be a deeper meaning, likely something inconvenient to discuss. Taixu Sect Master replied: "Okay, I’ll inform them." "Mm." Elder Master Xun nodded. "Then I won’t disturb the ancestor." Taixu Sect Master withdrew. Elder Master Xun sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, but before taking a sip, someone else came. The piercing sound of breaking void echoed repeatedly. Three void rifts opened suddenly in the Elder’s Residence’s living room. The ancestors from Tai’a Sect, Rushing Void Sect, and Taixu Gate’s Murong Ancestor all rushed over at once. The voices were momentarily chaotic. "Brother Xun... Did I just get up too quickly and see things?" "I seemed to have seen a large tree." "The golden light dazzled my eyes..." "The world anomaly... This is ridiculous..." Elder Master Xun sighed, his head was beginning to hurt. Taixu Sect Master, after all, was the junior, and with only Feather Transformation cultivation, he saw less completely, somewhat obscured, easier to fool. But these few old fellows were all Heaven Void, seeing clearly, and having lived so long, each with deep scheming, not so easy to fool. Mo Hua this child truly is capable of causing trouble...
