285 Little Green-faced Ghost_1
The little green-faced ghost with sharp fangs drilled into a blank white Sea of Consciousness, and couldn’t help but exult, cackling and saying,
“What profound Divine Sense! It’ll be enough to sate me for a long time!”
Then, with its eyes spinning like copper bells, it saw the Painting Formation in the Sea of Consciousness and its smile abruptly stiffened, “How are you in here?”
Mo Hua looked puzzled, “This is my Sea of Consciousness, why can’t I be in here?”
“No, no, that’s not right! You shouldn’t be here!”
The little green-faced ghost’s eyes whirled, its expression changing, and suddenly it shouted,
“Divine Sense Manifestation, a natural talent that makes for a great supplement! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Good! Extremely good!”
Mo Hua furrowed his brows.
“Great supplement? Are you talking about me? Is this green-faced little ghost feeding on the Divine Sense of Cultivators?”
Mo Hua then remembered what Mr. Zhuang had said:
“The Contemplation Map reflects the Divine Sense of others and their understanding of the Heavenly Dao. In other words, what it contemplates is another’s ‘Dao,’ or sometimes, the ‘Dao’ of some Non-Humans. Once the Divine Sense indulges in it, it often leads to extremely terrible consequences…”
Could this green-faced little ghost be what Mr. Zhuang referred to as “the Dao of Non-Humans”?
Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened as he asked, “What on earth are you?”
The little green-faced ghost sneered, “Kid, once I’ve eaten you, you’ll find out.”
Without waiting for Mo Hua to react, it transformed into a green shadow, baring its fangs and making a fierce face as it darted straight toward Mo Hua as if it was about to devour him.
Mo Hua hastily retreated, his figure graceful as he dodged the pouncing little green-faced ghost.
The little green-faced ghost was surprised and suspicious.
Mo Hua was also slightly stunned; he found that in the Sea of Consciousness, he could use the Water Passing Step.
Previously, when he had entered the Sea of Consciousness, he had always been sitting in front of the Taoist Stele, Drawing Formations, never having tried using a movement technique; now, as he evaded the little ghost’s onslaught, he used a movement technique inadvertently, and it was then that Mo Hua realized this.
If the Water Passing Step could be used, what about Spells?
As the little green-faced ghost lunged at him again, Mo Hua, while dodging, tried to use the Water Prison Technique and the Fireball Technique.
However, he was unable to cast either of these Spells.
The Water Passing Step uses Divine Sense to control Spiritual Power, which then leads the physical body.
Now, the Mo Hua in the Sea of Consciousness was a pure Thought Body without any Spiritual Power or physical body, so naturally, he could move as nimbly as if he were using the Water Passing Step.
But the Water Prison Technique and Fireball Technique both rely on Divine Sense to propel Spiritual Power and condense Spells, with Spiritual Power being the foundation.
Since there was no Spiritual Power within the Sea of Consciousness, naturally, Spells could not be cast.
The little green-faced ghost was incredibly fast, but Mo Hua’s movement technique was even more exquisite. So after several exchanges, the little ghost still couldn’t get the better of Mo Hua.
The little green-faced ghost looked ferocious with frustration.
Yet in Mo Hua’s heart, a weight also began to settle.
He could only dodge using the Water Passing Step, unable to trap enemies with the Water Prison Technique or attack with the Fireball Technique, making him nothing but a living target. Continuing to evade like this was ultimately not a solution.
He needed to think of another way!
The little green-faced ghost pounced and lunged for quite some time, still unable to touch Mo Hua, feeling mocked, its eyes filled with malice as it said:
“You’re forcing my hand!”
“Once I catch you, I will nibble on you bit by bit, chewing you into pieces!”
After saying this, the little green-faced ghost actually tore off its own left arm and threw it into its mouth, chewing its own limb into shreds.
Simultaneously, a fierce aura rose up from the little ghost’s body.
The ghost’s body gradually grew larger, its killing intent more concentrated, its fangs longer, and its face even more gruesome. In just a moment, it had become a true Evil Ghost.
“You won’t be able to escape now.”
The Green-faced Devil looked at Mo Hua with a sneer, but then it saw that Mo Hua wasn’t running anymore and was standing still.
Around Mo Hua, some intricate Patterns had appeared at an unknown time.
“Playing tricks!”
The Evil Ghost said hoarsely, then fearlessly rushed straight toward Mo Hua.
As it closed in on Mo Hua within a yard, as soon as it touched those Patterns, it felt a terrifying force vibrating outwards.
A surge of raging fire immediately engulfed it, burning its body and bringing endless pain.
The Evil Ghost screamed in disbelief:
“A Formation! You’re a Formation Master?!”
Seeing the effectiveness of the Formation and its power being stronger than he had anticipated, Mo Hua also couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Since he could not use Spells, all he could use was Formation.
Mo Hua’s Cultivation Technique was the Heaven Yan Jue, and the bottleneck of the Heaven Yan Jue was the Mystery Formation.
