Even as fellow Sect disciples, living side by side, it shouldn't have been possible to notice at first sight...
Something was fishy...
The Little Five Elements Ghost felt apprehensive.
This Sect, from top to bottom, from junior brother to senior sister, was indeed extraordinary; not only were they talented and quick-witted, but their minds were sharp and clear as well.
If this continued, it would be unable to escape...
It hadn't planned on occupying Mo Hua's body forever, for that was simply impossible.
The junior brother's master was a fearsome entity.
Its own guise would be instantly seen through.
It only wanted to borrow Mo Hua's body to escape from the Shrine and the Formation Pavilion.
But it never expected to be exposed not by the junior brother's master but by his junior sister instead.
The Little Five Elements Ghost was confused.
It had impersonated a Tao Teaching Elder, yet this junior cultivator saw through it.
It had impersonated the junior cultivator, yet his senior sister saw through it.
Was its acting really that bad?
The Little Five Elements Ghost furrowed its brows, anxiety filling its heart.
Now it was in a difficult position.
Trapped inside Mo Hua's Sea of Consciousness.
Unable to leave if it wanted to, and certainly unable to stay.
It didn't believe it could truly deceive everyone.
It still needed to find a way to leave...
The Little Five Elements Ghost sat cross-legged, surveying its surroundings again, and couldn't help but marvel:
"This junior brother's Sea of Consciousness is truly a blessed paradise – vast, resilient, with a pure and profound aura. Even though Divine Sense has departed, the remnant Divine Sense is exceptionally pure and profound..."
"This is not a Qi Refinement cultivator's Sea of Consciousness... It's comparable to, no, even surpasses an ordinary Foundation Establishment..."
"He really is an evil monster..."
The Little Five Elements Ghost shook its head.
Suddenly its expression changed.
No, something's not right!
This Sea of Consciousness feels off!
It sniffed the air, its pupils dilating in shock.
The aura of the Great Dao!
This was... an aura closer to the source than the Five Elements Qi!
There was something ancient and terrifying hidden within this junior brother's Sea of Consciousness!
Greed flashed across the eyes of the Little Ghost, but that was soon replaced by deep fear.
It had lived in the Shrine for hundreds of years, witnessed the evolutions of formations countless times, and had a faint premonition about the Heavenly secret.
The current premonition made it inexplicably tremble with fear.
As if staying any longer, by midnight when something "awakens," that ancient and powerful aura of the Great Dao would grind it down, bit by bit, into dust, erasing it completely, never to transcend to the afterlife!
The Little Five Elements Ghost quivered, its limbs going weak.
"I'm done for, I'm going to die!"
"I need to think of a way to escape quickly!"
