The fat pig-headed monster was fighting with the Sever Gold Sect to snatch it from me.
At the time, I simply thought the Sever Gold Sect was just shameless, as they always were, liking to steal from others.
Indeed, the Sever Gold Sect is shameless and does love to take what belongs to others.
But now, upon closer reflection, there may be more hidden secrets behind this.
Moreover, afterward, the Sever Gold Sect suffered a setback and remarkably retreated quietly without causing further trouble with Taixu Gate.
This is definitely not the usual behavior of the Sever Gold Sect.
Looking back now, their retreat may have been to bury some sort of scheme, forcing them to endure and act low-key for the time being.
And that secret might just be...
The Sever Gold Sect is helping an Evil God hunt monster beasts and refine demon monsters!
Mo Hua’s heart trembled, immediately filled with even greater confusion.
Where does the Sever Gold Sect get such daring courage?
Aren’t they worried about the Taoist Court’s accountability, severing their inheritance, destroying their foundation, sealing their legacy, and erasing their name?
And... what level of involvement does the Sever Gold Sect have in all this?
Is it all-encompassing, from top to bottom?
Or is it only a small faction of disciples or family groups secretly scheming?
Does the sect leader of the Sever Gold Sect know?
What about the ancestral elders in seclusion?
Furthermore, do they truly understand the magnitude of what they’re doing?
The Great Wilderness Evil God is a god that has forsaken the Divine Way. It’s a truly powerful Evil God...
This no longer is merely a case of making bargains with a tiger.
In the eyes of the Evil God, all things may be nothing but straw dogs; humans aren’t even deemed as "human."
Aren’t they afraid of being tricked by the Evil God, becoming its puppets or sacrificial offerings, doomed to eternal torment with no chance of redemption?
Mo Hua shook his head, reflecting deeply.
These people truly don’t know the terror of the Evil God!
If I hadn’t "consumed" several remnants and avatars of the Evil Gods myself, I wouldn’t know either.
To ordinary cultivators, especially those who don’t cultivate cultivation of divine thoughts, the Evil God is truly the ultimate "taboo"—unseeable, unknowable, unbeatable—an overwhelming dread...
This much Mo Hua understood clearly.
But matters concerning Evil Gods are hard to explain to others.
There are immense cosmic secrets wrapped up in all this.
The first challenge is that even if I spoke of it, others may not believe me.
The second is that trouble often starts with loose tongues—as soon as it’s mentioned, if the wrong person finds out, I’d inevitably incur heavy karmic burdens and all sorts of trouble.
Furthermore, matters related to the Evil God involve far too many mysteries—Heavenly Secret Calculations, Tricky Calculations, Lord Yellow Mountain, studies of divinity, Divine Sense Proving the Dao, Divine Thought Devouring... and so forth.
It’s impossible for me to explain all this clearly.
So, the fewer issues to get involved in, the better.
Besides, with so many powerful cultivators in Qianxue State Boundary, there’s no need for me, a minor cultivator, to worry excessively about everything.
I should just focus on my own matters.
Mo Hua pondered a bit, thinking about what he should do next.
First and foremost, the secret of Refining Demon Mountain—related to the Evil God—is something I must investigate.
If I can disrupt the Evil God’s schemes, I will certainly try.
Even if I don’t mention the Evil God to others, I must expose the Sever Gold Sect’s involvement to prevent them from causing more harm.
And then there’s the altar...
I wonder if there are altars of the Evil God within Refining Demon Mountain.
If there are, it’ll be quite the "feast" for me, one I absolutely can’t miss.
Next, I need to capture a few monster cultivators and study the Four Symbols Formations carved onto their bodies.
Finally, there’s the Divine Tao Array.
The Divine Tao Array contains applications of Divine Thought Power and has a restraining effect on divine beings.
In the near future, I may well come face-to-face with an Evil God or some other powerful evil spirit, so learning the Divine Tao Array is indispensable.
Yet the Evil God’s schemes are deep and unfathomable, still difficult to perceive.
The monster cultivators are too powerful and difficult to capture as well.
Only the Divine Tao Array, laid within the mountain forests, stands still and motionless, seemingly "within reach."
