Chapter 1666: Chapter 861: Master_2
The killings also condense into a “Cause and Effect” containing Sin, nourishing and incubating itself, which is the incubation of the “Evil Embryo”.
He didn’t understand the crux of the matter before, but now that he has transformed into the “Evil Embryo”, experiencing it personally, everything has become much clearer.
“Desires turn into flesh, Cause and Effect into bones.”
“This is… the Dao Hua method for cultivating the Evil Embryo and transforming it into an Evil God.”
“The ‘desires’ come from the Rouge Boat, but where do the Causes and Effect of these ‘sins’ come from?”
Mo Hua frowned, then his thoughts shifted slightly, and his Divine Thought withdrew from the nightmare. He searched around the altar in reality several times and finally found an odd object on the offering table in front of the altar.
It was a wordless Blood Tablet.
The tablet was soaked in fresh blood but had no writing.
It seemed as if someone had dipped in fresh blood and written something on it.
But the writing on this tablet wasn’t meant for “people” to see. Thus, after it was written, it merged with the blood into the tablet.
This was more like a “Divine Soul” contract.
Others couldn’t see it, but Mo Hua could.
Though very faint, he could vaguely see the writing on the seemingly wordless Blood Tablet.
The writing was a series of names.
Mo Hua looked at it and suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart, quickly taking out a Jade Slip from the Storage Bag.
This Jade Slip was precisely Boss Jiang’s list.
It was also the blood alliance list of those Sin Cultivators, led by the Fire Buddha and Water Yama.
The names on the two lists were almost identical.
“So this is the root…”
Mo Hua finally figured out what this list was used for.
This was a “soul contract”.
Sin Cultivators made a blood alliance and left their names on the list, equivalent to selling their Divine Soul and offering it to the Evil God.
In this way, all their crimes, all the killings, would be transmitted to the altar through a certain type of Cause and Effect, offered to the Evil God, gradually nourishing the Evil Embryo, making the Evil God stronger.
But this secret, these Sin Cultivators themselves might not know.
Moreover, there’s one more thing…
On the surface, this was just a “list”.
It was a Sin Cultivators’ “alliance” list, a list of upper-level “protection”, a list showing loyalty to the Master of the Great Wilderness.
But they surely didn’t know that this was actually a “death” list.
Because Mo Hua could sense a breath of Divine Soul from the names on the wordless Blood Tablet.
When signing this list, these Sin Cultivators actually severed a part of their Life Soul and offered it to the Master of the Great Wilderness.
The Master of the Great Wilderness grasps their Life Soul, in other words, controls their life and death.
Once a Sin Cultivator betrays, through this “soul contract” list, the Master of the Great Wilderness can let them die with a single thought.
“Indeed, those who consort with the Evil God are surely doomed to a bad end…”
“Their lives pinched in someone else’s hands, they probably don’t even know…”
Mo Hua shook his head and sighed.
He wanted to study a bit further but suddenly heard a “boom”, the ground shook, as if something was banging against the inner hall’s door.
Mo Hua’s heart leapt.
“Someone broke in?”
“No…” Mo Hua suddenly remembered, “Is it Uncle Gu and the others trying to rescue me?”
He was shocked to realize that after a fierce battle and a hearty meal and studying the altar for a long time, he didn’t know how much time had passed.
Uncle Gu and the others must be anxious by now.
“Better get out first…”
But when he looked up, he found himself at the bottom of the Blood Pool. The blood in the Blood Pool had been drained, now a deep pit, pitch-black on all sides, with no way out.
“How to get out?”
Mo Hua frowned.
And at the moment he had this thought, the altar lit up, as if a Formation within was activated in the dark. Mechanisms turned, bones and stones interlocked, a dull sound echoed.
The massive altar, supporting Mo Hua, slowly rose, like bearing its master.
Mo Hua took a slight breath of cool air.
“Is this altar… listening to me?”
“No, it’s not just this altar, but… the entire Dragon King Temple?”
Mo Hua frowned, pondering.
The Evil Embryo is the owner of the Dragon King Temple.
And now, the Evil Embryo has integrated into his Divine Soul.
The Evil Embryo is me.
I am the Evil Embryo.
In other words, now I am… the master of the Dragon King Temple?
Mo Hua’s jaw dropped, his heart filled with shock.
…
Outside the White Bone Maze.
Many Cultivators gathered together, including Enforcement Leaders wearing Taoist Court Robes, as well as Cultivators from outside the Taoist Court, from the Gu family and the Xia family.
They formed teams of ten, creating formations, with Runes, Spiritual Artifacts, and Spells being used, taking turns to bombard the arched door of the inner core.
Rumbling sounds, one after another, dust rose everywhere, the ground trembled, and stones crumbled.
But no matter what methods they tried, they could never breach the door.
Gu Changhuai was anxious, and Xia Canonical Official was also worried.
Time ticked away, the ancient arched door, after dozens of attacks, remained unmoved, not even a gap in the door was opened.
The hearts of the people grew cold bit by bit.
Gu Changhuai finally sighed deeply, remorsefully saying: “Inform the Taixu Gate, Mo Hua, he might…”
Gu Changhuai couldn’t finish.
He, who was always cold to others, now looked exceptionally desolate.
Xia Canonical Official beside him also showed sadness in his eyes.
The others received the order and began to pack up, preparing to retreat.
But just then, a dull “boom” sounded, accompanied by the sound of bone and stone grinding…
Everyone’s expression changed slightly.
They quickly turned their heads and saw the door, which hadn’t been blasted open by any methods, formations, Runes, Spells, or Spiritual Artifacts, now slowly opened on its own…
