Gu Changhuai: "Alright, be careful."
In Gu Changhuai’s heart, intelligence was never more important than Mo Hua’s safety.
However, he didn’t study formations and didn’t understand the subtleties within, nor did he know that these so-called "hard-won" pieces of intelligence were actually Mo Hua sitting at the mountain gate, fiddling with the token every day, without any real danger.
After that, Mo Hua temporarily put the Demon Sect Token aside.
As the magnetic patterns from the Demon Sect’s chatting decreased and became harder to distinguish, he didn’t need to constantly monitor it; just glancing at it occasionally was enough.
He now had more important tasks to do.
Decipher the Mystery Formation, break the bottleneck!
After consuming three "Divine Remains" consecutively, Mo Hua realized that the realm of his Divine Sense transformation was barely able to support him in deciphering formations.
He didn’t know if he could solve it completely, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; even solving part of it would be beneficial.
In this way, his cultivation wouldn’t be at a standstill.
As long as he started deciphering formations and breaking through the bottleneck, he would be gradually moving towards the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Mo Hua sighed.
With only Foundation Building Middle Stage cultivation, being called "Junior Brother" by a group of Foundation Establishment Late Stage junior brothers every day was very pressuring.
No one could understand his kind of pain; only someone who had personally been a "Junior Brother" could truly experience it.
"The sooner I break through, the sooner I reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."
Mo Hua thought with determination.
After that, apart from daily classes, cultivation, and sword practice, he spent most of his time deciphering the Divine Thought Puzzle Array and breaking through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
This process was somewhat complicated, but from a formation level, it wasn’t particularly difficult.
After all, with his current formation standards, especially his deep expertise in second-grade arrays, he was well above others even in the genius-filled Qian Learning State Boundary.
In the following days, Mo Hua calmly deciphered formations.
In half a month, he had solved a third, but the further he went, the slower the progress became, and the more laborious he found it.
Mo Hua knew this was due to insufficient Divine Sense transformation.
Mo Hua paused for a moment in silence, then opened the Demon Sect Token again, pondering whether to kill a few Golden Cores and consume a few Divine Remains to enhance his transformation realm.
By his estimation, two more would suffice.
Killing two more Golden Core Demon Cultivators, consuming the Divine Remains they carried, and refining the Divine Marrow should be enough for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"But the previous ruckus was too big; the Demon Sect is already on alert. Not sure if the heat has died down..."
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and thought, "Let’s give it a try."
He manipulated the Thunder Magnetic Miniature to dive into the Demon Sect Token to observe the situation.
Indeed, after more than half a month, it seemed that the heat had passed a bit, and everything seemed to be getting better.
There were also demon cultivators starting to chat through the Demon Sect Token, although the frequency wasn’t high, it was much better than during the tense period before.
Moreover, their conversation content didn’t have any taboos.
Mo Hua was slightly delighted.
The opportunity had come.
He then skillfully manipulated the Thunder Magnetic Miniature, weaving through the information-rich Yuan Magnetic Sea at the base of the Demon Sect Token, stealing magnetic patterns, decoding information, and observing to decide which Golden Core he could target for the Divine Marrow...
After two days of searching, Mo Hua finally identified a candidate through the magnetic pattern information:
This was an elder marked with a Dog Pattern.
Within the Demon Sect, he was addressed as "Elder Dog," and although his cultivation didn’t seem particularly strong, he was a trusted aide of the Demon Sect leader, skilled in making strategies, pushing forth many matters from the shadows.
"Dog Patterned Demon Head..."
"Doghead Think Tank?"
Mo Hua muttered to himself.
He then continued to manipulate the Thunder Magnetic Miniature to steal magnetic patterns, trying to find more clues about this "Doghead Think Tank."
But as he searched and searched, Mo Hua suddenly paused, frowning.
Something’s not right...
The Doghead Think Tank, known for its strategic skills... how could such a character be easily exposed?
Moreover, the Demon Sect had just undergone a "great purge," and even if the heat had died down after just over half a month, it couldn’t be that someone would dare to casually discuss Golden Core Elders and provide such obvious clues.
There’s something fishy...
Mo Hua became alert.
He thought for a moment, letting the Thunder Magnetic Miniature hide within the Yuan Magnetic Sea, then focused himself on perceiving the subtle Thunder Magnetic flows among the Yuan Magnetic Patterns.
Initially, things seemed calm and unpredictable; Mo Hua patiently continued to sense.
Focusing intently for nearly two hours, Mo Hua finally detected an unusual "Thunder Magnetic" flow among the magnetic patterns.
