"Thank you."
Then, with a hint of apology, he said:
"You've helped me so much, and my days are numbered; I'm afraid I won't be of help to you..."
Old Kui shook his head, "Even if you disregard the feelings of the Sect, I could use Heavenly Puppetry to kill him, and if you live a few more decades, you might still be able to help me."
Mr. Zhuang was silent for a short while, then shook his head and sighed:
"He can't be killed anymore..."
Old Kui frowned, "Is Planting Devil in Taoist Heart truly that troublesome?"
Mr. Zhuang stated calmly, "He entered the Demon Palace, became a Taoist, and took the Taoist name 'Gui'. The Divine Thought legacy he received, if cultivated deeply, is nearly on par with a Heavenly Demon."
"He was cautious in the past, even the Pavilion Elders couldn't do anything against him."
"Now, with his Planting Devil in Taoist Heart nearing completion and his Divine Thought taking the 'Gui' path, it is full of trickery and ever-changing; he can't simply be killed with cultivation or Taoist Skills..."
Old Kui also fell silent, his aged eyes hiding indeterminate emotions.
"Without trying, how would you know?"
Mr. Zhuang sighed, "You could try, and he might die, but it's uncertain who would die in the end, and whether he truly died would be unknown to anyone..."
Old Kui's brows furrowed tightly, "Planting Devil in Taoist Heart isn't considered the ultimate legacy of the Demon Sect, is it?"
Why was it so terrifying?
Mr. Zhuang's face showed a complex expression, "Planting Devil in Taoist Heart isn't, but my senior brother, he's a cultivator of the utmost Divine Thought..."
"In this world, who knows who could kill him..."
Mr. Zhuang looked helpless as he slowly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, the innocent and cheerful face of Mo Hua appeared in his mind.
Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled, then his gaze became elusive; after a long contemplation, he muttered:
```
"It's still early..."
"Just don't get killed, surviving is enough..."
...
In the Lu Family's Corpse Mine, within the Ten Thousand Corpses Sacrificial Altar.
Not until the Thick Earth Formation was complete, his Divine Sense clear, and the eerie aura had dissipated without a trace, did Mo Hua finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, his heart was filled with lingering fear, and cold sweat had seeped out on his back.
"How strange..."
He hadn't spoken his name, nor mentioned his Taoist title, but just by thinking more profoundly, he was sensed by that Taoist, and even the image of him arose in his mind.
His body also felt slightly beyond his control.
To litigate his Taoist title, to convert to his Taoism.
Exactly what kind of method was this? Could it be some form of Divine Thought Technique?
Mo Hua dared not think further.
He buried the words "Gui Tao's people" deep in his heart, trying as much as possible not to touch upon or think deeply about them.
Meanwhile, Mo Hua also felt somewhat dejected.
He had previously believed that with his Divine Thought Technique fully accomplished, he could dominate in conflicts at the level of Divine Sense.
Yet, he hadn't expected to be detected simply by exercising his thoughts.
In the face of Gui Tao's elusive shadow, he felt utterly at a loss, incapable of resistance.
Mo Hua exhaled:
"The path of Tao Cultivation still requires caution, one must not be arrogant or complacent."
"There are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens."
"The methods of high-realm great cultivators penetrate the heavens and the earth, beyond the wildest imagination, completely unfathomable to someone who is merely a small Qi Refinement cultivator like me."
"One must never become cocky!"
Mo Hua silently reminded himself several times, then nodded.
Then another thought occurred to him:
If such a shadow is a technique of Divine Thought,
Could he learn it in the future?
To refine the ultimate in Divine Thought, to Prove the Dao with Supreme Divine Sense.
Could he then, like this Taoist, employ inscrutable methods that leave others unable to guard against?
Right now, he was only in the Qi Refinement stage, with merely twelve patterns in his Divine Sense.
