After all, even if I ask, the Evil Embryo, facing death, definitely wouldn’t speak.
Mo Hua no longer hesitated, using the Divine Lock to bind the Evil Embryo, throwing it into the Taoist Stele.
The silent, terrifying robbery thunder, containing the supreme Heavenly Dao Laws, like a scarlet "branding iron," annihilated everything about the Evil Embryo, obliterating its every origin, its every will...
The Evil Embryo said nothing, its eyes split wide open with a ghastly glare, staring fixedly at Mo Hua, until its soul was completely extinguished, without ever averting its gaze.
"A defeated foe, still so arrogant?"
Mo Hua also stared back at it confidently.
Until this evil and bizarre Evil God’s Embryo completely dispersed, leaving behind supremely pure, rich as spring water Divine Marrow.
Only then did Mo Hua breathe a sigh of relief, feeling overjoyed.
This great worry at heart was finally completely eradicated!
His Divine Soul was finally entirely liberated.
From now on, he would no longer fear contamination by the Evil God, and was no longer afraid this Evil Embryo might unexpectedly emerge to give a sinister laugh.
And also...
A great deal of Divine Marrow!
More than all the Divine Marrow he had devoured before combined, gushing like a spring, and even purer than before.
Mo Hua extended his finger, dipped and licked once, as if tasting liquefied sunshine, his whole body feeling at ease.
He couldn’t resist taking a few more sips, smiling contentedly, just about to indulge when suddenly he remembered something.
"It’s 1 p.m now, and I’m still outside the Mountain Gate, not back at the Sect."
"Moreover, after two consecutive life-or-death battles, the pressure on the Sea of Consciousness is too great, causing Blood Qi to wither."
"If the physical body is gone, no matter how strong the Divine Thought, it’s useless. I can’t just not be a person and become a ghost or an Evil God, can I?"
"And frankly, becoming a ghost is not that simple. After a person dies, to transform into a ghost requires all kinds of conditions like natural disasters, human grievances, etc. It’s not something you can cultivate just because you want to."
"As for becoming an Evil God, that’s even more out of the question, who knows how much killing would be required..."
"Let’s first see to the physical body..."
Mo Hua quickly withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness, tracing his Divine Sense back to his physical body.
But just as the Divine Sense was traced back, he felt pain all over his limbs and bones, with Blood Qi not flowing smoothly, his meridians somewhat withered, unable to move at all, and his eyes couldn’t open.
It’s over!
Mo Hua’s heart sank.
This was late at night, still in the remote Outer Mountain, sparsely populated.
If the physical body encountered any danger, it would be a big problem.
Mo Hua’s heart shivered, then quickly calmed down, strongly willing himself to open his eyes.
But his eyelids felt as if they were filled with mud and sand, weighing a thousand pounds, completely unable to open.
Mo Hua did not give up, kept trying, and after an unknown length of time, he finally endured the intense pain and slowly opened his eyes.
The sight that met his eyes was a gentle face, and a pair of soft eyes.
This is...
"Elder Murong?"
Mo Hua felt surprised in his heart, then heard Elder Murong’s voice, warm as a spring breeze, saying to someone beside, "Ancestor, this child is awake."
"Hmm." Elder Master Xun’s aged voice sounded at the side, "He can be given the pills now."
Before Mo Hua could react, he felt a pair of elegant, cool fingers with a faint herbal taste, picking up a few pills, and placing them into his mouth.
Before he could taste anything, the pills slid down his throat, into his stomach, turning into warm medicinal power, merging into his limbs, replenishing his Blood Qi.
Afterward, Elder Murong fed him some bitter Spiritual Liquid.
Then fed him some unknown pills.
Mo Hua indeed felt much more spirited, his limbs able to move, his throat much clearer, able to speak, though his voice was still somewhat hoarse:
"Thank you, Elder Murong..."
Elder Murong with her slender fingers, gently stroked Mo Hua’s forehead, smiling warmly:
"Everything’s fine. You fainted silently in the Outer Mountain, your Blood Qi was too depleted for it to be dangerous, fortunately, the gentleman noticed early, had you brought back, and sent you here..."
Mo Hua tried to express some gratitude but was stopped by Elder Murong, "You haven’t recovered yet, speak less."
Mo Hua nodded.
"I won’t disturb your rest." Elder Murong checked Mo Hua’s injuries, lightly rose, gracefully bowed to Elder Master Xun, then quietly retreated.
Only then did Elder Master Xun walk to Mo Hua’s bedside, looking at him worriedly.
"Sorry for causing you trouble."
Although Elder Murong advised him not to speak, Mo Hua still rasped a thank you.
