Thus, in the decaying temple, on the clay statue, Lord Yellow Mountain slowly floated out, descended onto the offering table, and began enjoying the offerings laid out by Mo Hua.
As he ate, Mo Hua couldn’t just sit by idly.
He also took out the "snacks" he’d prepared for himself from his storage bag, jumped onto the offering table, and sat alongside Lord Yellow Mountain, eating together.
Lord Yellow Mountain ate the offerings while discreetly observing Mo Hua.
Only then did he realize Mo Hua was different from before.
His aura was restrained, his Divine Thought coherent, making him feel close, yet faintly exuding a sense of "awe," instilling fear.
Lord Yellow Mountain was inwardly startled.
If he remembered correctly, it had only been a year...
A year without seeing, this young adolescent seemed to have undergone yet another transformation.
More bizarrely, Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was clearly stronger.
But just how strong... Lord Yellow Mountain was unsure at the moment.
Most of a person’s Divine Sense is sealed within their Sea of Consciousness, only a small portion is externalized.
Foundation Building Cultivators cannot perform Primordial Spirit Emergence; to glimpse the true nature of their Divine Sense requires either leading them into dreams or invading their Sea of Consciousness.
Lord Yellow Mountain sneakily glanced at Mo Hua.
"Lead him into dreams, or invade his Sea of Consciousness?"
This thought emerged, yet he immediately extinguished it.
When one acts foolishly, death is assured.
The same applies to gods.
"One must be dutiful as a human, and the same applies to being a god. I’m no longer what I used to be; I must be more ’law-abiding’..."
Lord Yellow Mountain silently chanted in his heart.
Then he calmly began eating the offerings.
Mo Hua ate quickly, wolfing down his food; Lord Yellow Mountain, as a Mountain God, had to maintain composure, so he ate slowly, deliberately.
Mo Hua finished eating, and with nothing to do, began asking Lord Yellow Mountain:
"Mountain Lord, can I ask you about Divine Thought into sword?"
Lord Yellow Mountain gracefully ate a chicken leg, feeling a bit surprised at the words, "Haven’t you asked before?"
Mo Hua nodded, "I did ask before, but recently I thought of some new questions."
Before, he couldn’t perform Divine Thought into sword at all, purely an outsider.
But now things are different; he learned a bit of the Sword Transforming Skill, one foot barely stepping through the threshold, with a foundational understanding, naturally asking different questions.
