Lord Yellow Mountain sighed, "I am a Mountain God, and my Divine Sense's status is different from that of a regular cultivator, so my understanding of Divine Sense also needs to be deeper..." Back then, when I battled with that Sword Cultivator from the Taixu Gate, during our exchange, I was wounded all over by the Sword Qi of Divine Thought and came to understand some of the mysteries of this Sword technique..." "The Sword technique of Divine Thought into Sword differs from normal Sword techniques." "Normal Sword techniques involve channeling one's Spiritual Power throughout the body into the Spirit Sword to form 'Sword Qi,' then using the sharp Sword Qi to kill enemies." "Divine Thought into Sword is different, it requires condensing the manifested, formless and intangible, yet infinitely mysterious 'Sword Intent' on top of the Sword Qi..." "One must use Sword Qi as the foundation and temper it with Sword Intent to unleash its tremendous power, capable of slicing through tangible matter and intangible spirits alike!" "In short..." "Normal Sword Control involves forging the sword and cultivating Sword Qi." "Whereas Divine Thought into Sword goes further on top of the Sword Qi, to cultivate Sword Intent." "Both are indispensable, Sword Qi must be cultivated to the extreme to derive Sword Intent, and with the enhancement of Sword Intent, Sword Qi can become invincible and vanquish enemies in all directions!" A hint of arrogance appeared in Lord Yellow Mountain's eyes: "Had it not been for this technique, the Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue, able to turn the tangible into intangible, to use the tangible sword to slay the intangible spirits, back then within the realm, there might have not been anyone who could have handled me..." Mo Hua pondered: "Then wouldn't you have become a 'Taoist Demon'?" A chill went down Lord Yellow Mountain's spine, he was shocked and his expression turned to disbelief: "How... how did you know?!" Mo Hua nodded, "I've seen how Taoist Demons are cultivated..." And moreover, I've killed Taoist Demons before! But it's somewhat taboo to speak of such things... Despite this, Lord Yellow Mountain still gasped in astonishment. He realized more and more that he couldn't afford to provoke this little ancestor. Lord Yellow Mountain immediately restrained his arrogant demeanor. He could no longer boast. If he boasted too much and broke through his pretense, revealing his lies to this little ancestor, that would be troublesome... Mo Hua didn't notice the subtle changes in Lord Yellow Mountain's expression, but was instead contemplating the cultivation of Divine Thought into Sword: "I must first cultivate Sword Qi, bring it to the utmost limit, then transform the tangible into intangible and cultivate Sword Intent, merging Sword Intent with Sword Qi to cultivate the 'Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue'..." Mo Hua was deeply disappointed. "If I do not become a Sword Cultivator and cultivate Sword Qi, wouldn't I be unable to learn Divine Thought into Sword?" Lord Yellow Mountain nodded, "Naturally." Mo Hua thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "What if I don't cultivate Sword Qi, but my Divine Sense is strong enough to directly transform Divine Thought into Sword Intent, would that work?" Lord Yellow Mountain thought Mo Hua was wildly imaginative and said dismissively: "If you don't cultivate Sword Qi, where would you get Sword Intent from?" "You are a Formation Master, can you understand Formation principles without drawing formations?" "Isn't it the same principle..." "The better you cultivate Sword Qi, the sharper it becomes, and the purer and more powerful the Sword Intent derived from it will be..." "How can you transform it with just Divine Thought? Can your Divine Thought be stronger than the Sword Qi of a Sword Cultivator?" "And how strong can your Divine Sense be?" Mo Hua murmured softly, "Is sixteen patterns enough?" Lord Yellow Mountain scoffed, "Sixteen patterns, enough for what?" Lord Yellow Mountain was about to say more but suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mo Hua, "How many?" "Sixteen patterns..." Lord Yellow Mountain's expression froze... Sixteen patterns... How could it be sixteen patterns? What age are you, what Realm are you in? How could a cultivator in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment have sixteen patterns of Divine Sense? You couldn't possibly have consumed something... Lord Yellow Mountain's heart skipped a beat, he immediately looked straight ahead and said softly: "Sixteen patterns of Divine Sense are indeed strong, but still not enough to cultivate Divine Thought into Sword..." "How much is needed then?" "Feathers..." Lord Yellow Mountain was about to downgrade his previous statement, "at least a Golden Core, above twenty patterns..." "And even then, Golden Core may not be sufficient to achieve it..." "After all, Divine Thought into Sword involves Sword Qi transforming into Sword Intent, and Sword Intent manifesting Sword Qi, not simply manifesting Sword Qi from 'Divine Thought' alone..." Mo Hua nodded, "Alright, I got it." I might as well give it a try. When the day comes that my Divine Sense achieves twenty patterns and reaches Core Formation, I'll see if I can transform Divine Thought into a sword on my own. Before that, I'll inquire more about the orthodox 'Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue' at the Sect. After all, Lord Yellow Mountain's statement is from the perspective of a 'victim,' it may not be the accurate method of Divine Thought into Sword, so it can only serve as a reference. Thinking this, Mo Hua felt a bit aggrieved: "I asked you last time, why didn't you tell me?" Lord Yellow Mountain said with a complicated expression: "Tell you, so that you practice well and come to strike me down?" Mo Hua was startled and thought about it, finding it reasonable, and thus didn't blame Lord Yellow Mountain. Instead, he took out some food and drink from his storage bag. When visiting a friend, naturally you have to bring some gifts. "I bought these specially for you..." There was pork, beef, vegetables, snacks, and even wine... At that moment, Lord Yellow Mountain was stunned, feeling a warm current surge in his heart... After all these years, having grown accustomed to eating steamed buns and wild fruits, drinking rainwater daily with no incense offerings, he had long become emaciated... This child Mo Hua.... Though slightly mischievous, rather fierce, and a bit unreasonable, he still had a good heart... Lord Yellow Mountain felt deeply relieved. Mo Hua placed the food and drink on the altar. The altar was used for offerings, and the offered food and drink would split in two. Part remained tangible, while the other part transformed into a "sacred offering" of Divine Thought, for the worshiped Mountain God or some other deity to enjoy. The meat enjoyed by the Mountain God turned pale and tasteless; The wine too would turn bland as water. Mo Hua placed each offering neatly, yet when he came to a lamb leg, Lord Yellow Mountain's expression changed slightly and he immediately said: "No lamb!" Mo Hua was taken aback, "No lamb?" Lord Yellow Mountain's face paled as he nodded, "I don't eat lamb..." Mo Hua found it strange but didn't inquire further. It's important to respect others' dietary habits. Humans can be picky, and naturally, so can a Mountain God. But there's no need to waste... Mo Hua decided to keep the lamb leg for himself to eat. Inside the old temple, Lord Yellow Mountain and Mo Hua ate together. Lord Yellow Mountain enjoyed the offerings of Spiritual Meat and fine Spiritual Wine, but his mind was distracted, constantly glancing towards Mo Hua. Mo Hua sat on the altar, gnawing on a lamb leg, savoring it deliciously. "The meat he dares not eat, Mo Hua is eating..." Lord Yellow Mountain's gaze trembled suddenly filled with apprehension. Vaguely, he always felt that Mo Hua might do something very terrifying in the future... ... After eating and drinking their fill, Mo Hua bid Lord Yellow Mountain farewell. The concept of Tai Xu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue gradually became clear in his mind. Divine Sense, Sword Qi, Secret Manual. Three approaches in total. "Divine Sense with twenty Patterns, it's still a long way off…" The Realm of twenty Patterns, Divine Sense Core Formation, was surely a major threshold. He wondered what the bottleneck would be… But as per Lord Yellow Mountain's words, after twenty Patterns, he could try Transforming Divine Thought into a Sword. Even if he couldn't transform a sword, he still needed to try. There was also Sword Qi... When he had free time, he could also cultivate his Sword Qi. He didn't need to master it, but he had to lay some groundwork for "Transforming Divine Thought into a Sword". Then, there was the true transmission of the Secret Manual of Tai Xu Mind Transforming Sword. He'd do more tasks, gather more Merit Points, unlock more permissions, meet more Disciples, gather more clues to see if he could get it earlier... Although it was still early, it was best to prepare in advance. Mo Hua nodded. "One step at a time…" The pressing matter was still Formations! After returning to the Sect, Mo Hua continued his Cultivation, attended Classes, learned about Formations, and refined his Divine Sense. Whenever there was a break, he would follow Senior Sister Murong on missions to gather some Merit Points. After some time, Mo Hua, having endured many hardships, finally gathered over eight hundred Merit Points and then went to the Merit Pavilion to redeem the second-grade Sixteen Pattern "Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation" he longed for. This Formation was part of the Eight Trigrams Thunder Magnetism series. It was a classified type of Formation. Within the Taixu Gate, very few disciples studied it; even within the whole Qianxue State Boundary, not many mastered it. But for Mo Hua, it was extremely important. Mo Hua carefully spread out the Formation Diagram of the "Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation," opening a new door to the grand world of Formations…
