Chapter 1314

"You wouldn't... truly be the Divine Blessing of the Great Wilderness, would you?" True Person Brother Zhuge looked at Mo Hua, his gaze somewhat solemn.

Director Chief Huangfu and Director Shangguan also all looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua denied it: "I am not."

True Person Brother Zhuge's gaze was cautious:

"The Heart-Entangling, Emotion-Inducing, Desire-Falling Golden Needle is not an ordinary treasure; the entire Hua family might not have a few of them, and without the approval of an ancestor-level figure, even True Person Hua might not be able to use it easily."

"But True Person Hua used this needle on you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

"This shows that he must have had great certainty to determine that you possess extraordinary divinity, or rather... that a 'god' is parasitizing you. This god, True Person Hua couldn't contend with, and was afraid of accidents, so he used this needle to incite the desire pit and isolate your divinity..."

"He couldn't have targeted you for no reason; since he went to such lengths for you, then even if you are not the Divine Blessing, you have a major relationship with that Divine Blessing..."

True Person Brother Zhuge's expression became more and more serious as he spoke.

Through these words, Mo Hua could also judge.

True Person Brother Zhuge's family heritage must have studies on the divine path.

And True Person Brother Zhuge himself also has a certain attainment in this; his judgment of the situation is actually mostly correct.

Sure enough, if you want people not to know, you shouldn't do it yourself.

Some things can be hidden from ordinary people, but they can't be hidden from smart people at all.

Mo Hua sighed: "Yes, I am the Divine Blessing of the Great Wilderness. After I drifted to the Great Wilderness, I used the divine path to unify the faith of the wilderness, launched a divine war, conquered major mountain realms, and became the number one person under the Divine Lord, with dozens of third-grade major tribes under my command, capable of commanding Great Chieftains at the late Golden Core stage of each tribe, major generals of the main tribe, millions of wild soldiers, and controlling the life and death of hundreds of millions of wild cultivators..."

The air instantly quieted down, and one could hear a pin drop.

True Person Brother Zhuge, Director Chief Huangfu, and Director Shangguan all gasped slightly.

After a moment, Director Chief Huangfu sighed, "That's right, you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn't do such a thing..."

Director Shangguan was clearly relieved, "I almost thought that our Grand Void Gate had produced a great rebel."

True Person Brother Zhuge also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this situation, whoever could still believe that Mo Hua is a Divine Blessing really needs to have their brain checked.

Mo Hua was helpless.

Sometimes, forced by the situation, he has to lie.

But lying will attract suspicion.

But if he doesn't lie and tells them the truth, they don't believe him at all.

It's very difficult for him too.

"Then what should be done about this golden needle?" Mo Hua changed the subject and asked, and then asked with some doubt:

"In the end, why does the Hua family have this improper thing? 'Heart-Entangling, Emotion-Inducing, Desire-Falling,' this doesn't seem like a proper method..."

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "If you really calculate it, this is actually something from the Joyous Sect."

"Joyous Sect?" Mo Hua was overjoyed, "Did the Hua family turn to the demonic path? Did they betray the Dao Court and abandon the righteous path?"

True Person Brother Zhuge was helpless, "Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh," Mo Hua lowered his voice and asked, "Then what is going on?"

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "The Joyous Sect is a demonic path, but not everything from the 'Joyous Sect' is stained with demonic evil."

"Eating, drinking, and men and women are the great desires of people. Emotion and desire are desires that people have themselves, and they are also a kind of 'human path'."

"Based on emotion and desire, there are indeed quite a few proper cultivation techniques."

"Even the Joyous Sect, in ancient times, most cultivators cultivated by cultivating emotion without falling into desire, using the heart to comprehend the hundred changes of 'emotion,' and were even more strict about the boundaries between men and women than ordinary people. They only moved their hearts and emotions, using emotion to merge with the Dao, without touching the pleasures of the flesh."

Mo Hua was stunned; this was the first time he had heard such cultivation knowledge.

"Then what happened later?" Mo Hua asked again.

True Person Brother Zhuge shook his head, "Emotion and desire are only a thin line apart, the boundaries are blurred, and cultivating emotion is bitter, while cultivating desire is happy..."

"Cultivating emotion is too conservative and too slow, requiring long years of nurturing feelings."

"And cultivating desire is both convenient and happy; you just need to take off your clothes."

"As time went on, fewer and fewer people cultivated emotion, and more and more people cultivated desire."

"Those who cultivated desire would even go to seduce those who cultivated emotion, ruining their Dao practice and destroying their foundations."

"Once the word 'lust' becomes rampant, it is like a flood and a beast; it didn't take long for the desire to spread like 'poison' in the Joyous Sect."

"The Joyous Sect completely sank, becoming a demonic sect that disregarded shame, relied on flesh and color to incite human desire, and extracted essence and blood to absorb human yang energy."

"To the point that today, the Joyous Sect has become a demonic sect, and the two words 'Joyous Sect' have completely become a synonym for lewdness and flesh..."

As True Person Brother Zhuge spoke, he suddenly felt it was inappropriate; he shouldn't have chatted about these things with this brat Mo Hua.

After all, he is still very young.

But looking over, Mo Hua's figure had already grown quite a bit taller, looking like a clear and handsome youth, so he felt it was about time he should know these things.

Mo Hua didn't think much, just feeling some emotion for this ancient sect that had deviated from its original intention, lost its emotion, and fallen into desire.

The reason a person is a person is because they have a heart that seeks the Dao, and also human feelings.

Although human desire is a natural instinct of people and unavoidable, if one truly sinks into material desire, has their heart obscured by desire, and has their feelings and righteousness extinguished, a "demon" will inevitably be born from the human heart.

That would probably mean not only the person is finished, the sect is finished, the family is finished, but I guess the entire cultivation world would be finished along with it...

Mo Hua nodded slowly, feeling that he had vaguely understood a little more truth.

His understanding of the entire cultivation world had filled in another piece of the puzzle.

True Person Brother Zhuge, however, was staring at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua came back to his senses, looked at True Person Brother Zhuge, and asked: "What's wrong?"

True Person Brother Zhuge asked: "How do you... feel?"

"Feel?" Mo Hua didn't quite understand.

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "The Heart-Entangling, Emotion-Inducing, Desire-Falling Needle, as the name suggests, is to entangle your heart and spirit, induce your emotions, and incite your desires... It is a Joyous Sect treasure that provokes desire and disturbs the human mind. You have this needle stuck in your brain, and you don't feel anything at all?"

Mo Hua felt himself for a moment and nodded, "I feel a little bit, but it feels okay."

True Person Brother Zhuge was stunned, "Okay?"

Mo Hua nodded, "It's just that my appetite is a bit better, and I always want to eat something, otherwise I'm uncomfortable, and occasionally I like to recall the past."

True Person Brother Zhuge frowned, "You don't feel confused and infatuated?"

Mo Hua shook his head and said: "No."

He thought seriously for a moment and said:

"Before... because I studied formation arts every day, I was too rational, and my brain was terrifyingly clear. Now that my heart and spirit are a bit chaotic and confused, it's just right; it feels very human, and I'm very energetic..."

True Person Brother Zhuge suddenly felt a bit suspicious about Mo Hua's mental state.

Is this child a bit abnormal?

Was his brain made stupid by the golden needle?

What kind of nonsense is he spouting?

True Person Brother Zhuge looked at Mo Hua's eyes carefully again and found that although Mo Hua spoke in a muddled way, his eyes were clear and bright, without a speck of dust.

True Person Brother Zhuge was stunned in his heart.

This child doesn't know what he cultivated, but his Dao heart is too pure, and his heart of innocence is also too clean, and he is too ignorant about emotion and desire.

Therefore, the heart cannot be entangled, the emotion cannot be induced, let alone falling into desire.

This "Heart-Entangling, Emotion-Inducing, Desire-Falling Golden Needle," which can disturb other people's minds and destroy other people's desires, only made Mo Hua occasionally feel muddled.

True Person Brother Zhuge didn't know whether he should admire or envy him.

But regardless, this golden needle is a hidden danger after all.

Mo Hua also understood this point and asked: "True Person, is there a way to take it out?"

He didn't want to have a Joyous Sect "lust needle" stuck in his brain every day.

Although this needle can suppress divinity, now that his divinity has already shattered once because of the failure to form the Golden Core, even if it recovers, it shouldn't be as out of control as before.

Comparatively, the threat of this needle is even greater.

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "There is a way, but it can't be used on you."

Mo Hua asked with doubt: "Why?"

True Person Brother Zhuge sighed lightly:

"All cultivation methods, whether they are techniques, arts, or treasures, are composed of the four layers of Dao, Law, Art, and Tool. 'Dao' is mysterious and profound, not to be discussed lightly, so let's not talk about it for now. Below the Dao is Law, and Law refers to the rules. Rules are also obscure and difficult to understand... but there is one point: any rule needs Art and Tool as a medium."

Mo Hua listened and nodded repeatedly.

These are all studies of the Feather Transformation Realm; True Person Brother Zhuge didn't know if Mo Hua truly understood or was pretending to understand, so he could only continue:

"Therefore, to break this golden needle, one can mostly only start from the level of 'Art' and 'Tool'."

"The method of planting the needle is 'Art,' rooted in spiritual sense, acting on the sea of consciousness, without form or substance."

"And this golden needle is a 'Tool,' which has entered your brain, leaving no trace. If you want to take it out, you mostly have to open the skull."

"If you want to break the Art, you have to move your sea of consciousness."

"If you want to take the needle, you have to open your skull."

"If it were someone else, I could give it a try, but you..."

True Person Brother Zhuge sighed.

Old Master Xun said that this is a "little ancestor," and if he loses even a single hair, it won't do. If he dared to open Mo Hua's skull, wouldn't he be scolded to death by Old Master Xun?

Mo Hua was also stunned.

"Open the skull?"

The Hua family wanted to slice him up, and now True Person Brother Zhuge wants to save him, but has to open his skull?

"Opening the skull, will I really not die?" Mo Hua asked.

True Person Brother Zhuge pondered: "Not necessarily; the study of cultivation is broad and profound. If you follow the human body's meridians and open it with the right method, even if you open the skull, you won't die, and after sewing it up, you will still be jumping around..."

True Person Brother Zhuge looked at Mo Hua, "You... want to try?"

"No, no..." Mo Hua shook his head repeatedly.

He wouldn't dare to joke with his own brain.

He cultivates by proving the Dao with spiritual sense; spiritual sense is the foundation, and the sea of consciousness is the origin, which exists in the brain. If the skull is opened and the sea of consciousness is injured, his foundation might be ruined.

What's more, he has too many "secrets" in his brain.

The Dao Stele, the Tribulation Thunder, the Mystery Heaven Great Array...

If his brain were truly opened, he doesn't know what kind of terrifying commotion it would cause.

"I definitely won't try." Mo Hua firmly refused.

True Person Brother Zhuge was only talking; he would rather open his own skull than move Mo Hua's brain.

Director Chief Huangfu frowned, "Is there any other way?"

True Person Brother Zhuge pondered for a moment, "As things stand, we can only go and ask the Hua family again."

"Go to the Hua family?"

"Yes."

"But..." Mo Hua frowned, "The Hua family couldn't possibly agree."

True Person Brother Zhuge nodded slightly: "They shouldn't agree... Now it seems that the reason True Person Hua handed you over to me so readily is also because this needle is stuck in your brain. As long as this needle is there, he has a means to control you, and you will always be unable to leave the Hua family..."

Mo Hua's brows furrowed.

Director Chief Huangfu and Director Shangguan also had solemn gazes.

Those who can cultivate to the Feather Transformation Realm and hold power in a major family are truly not simple characters.

This True Person Hua is also not simple.

"Since they won't agree, should I still go and ask?" Mo Hua said.

"You have to ask," True Person Brother Zhuge said, "There is no other way anyway; regardless of whether it works or not, let's just try; what if that True Person Hua truly agrees?"

"Even if he doesn't agree, we can always ask for some other news."

Mo Hua said: "Alright..."

So the next day, Mo Hua, who hadn't been out of the tiger's mouth for long, returned to the tiger's mouth again.

He and True Person Brother Zhuge went to drink tea with True Person Hua.

A few days ago, he was still a "prisoner," but now he has become an "honored guest."

Mo Hua's mood was still a bit subtle.

The one whose mood was even more subtle was True Person Hua.

He didn't expect that this brat named "Mo Hua" would actually dare to come back, and even dare to sit next to him and drink tea?

This gave him the illusion of a lamb sitting next to him, the tiger, eating grass.

Although it was relying on the Grand Void Gate and True Person Brother Zhuge's face, this brat indeed had quite a bit of courage.

But True Person Hua didn't say anything.

True Person Brother Zhuge was even less of an outsider; as soon as they met, he sat down to drink tea and chatted about the matter of the golden needle in Mo Hua's brain as if they were old friends.

"Your Hua family is really something; you are willing to put this kind of golden needle into a child's brain?"

"If you have too many treasures, you can donate a few to the Qin-Tian Bureau..."

True Person Brother Zhuge's tone was easygoing, as if he were an old friend of True Person Hua.

His relationship with True Person Hua was actually not bad to begin with.

True Person Brother Zhuge was born with a lazy temperament and didn't contend with the world, so he almost had no conflicts or entanglements with major families and sects.

Plus, he was a Feather Transformation True Person from the Brother Zhuge family, so his status was actually very high.

True Person Hua could only sigh: "It was a misunderstanding..."

He looked at Mo Hua, his attitude still relatively peaceful:

"If I had known earlier that this little friend Mo was not the Divine Blessing of the wilderness, I wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths, and I wouldn't have wasted a Heart-Entangling, Emotion-Inducing Needle..."

Mo Hua didn't know if these words were true or false, so he just listened casually.

People with such high realms, great power, and who engage in conspiracies don't have many true words in their mouths.

When he was a Divine Blessing, he had seen plenty of these.

"Then can it be taken out?" True Person Brother Zhuge asked, his tone so natural that it was like asking what kind of tea they were drinking today.

True Person Hua was somewhat embarrassed, "It's not that I'm unwilling to take it out... but it's truly impossible."

True Person Brother Zhuge poured him a cup of tea—this cup of tea was purely for Mo Hua's sake.

Usually, he felt it was troublesome to pour tea for himself, let alone for others.

True Person Brother Zhuge said gently: "There are no outsiders here; give me the bottom line, what exactly is the situation."

True Person Hua looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua looked at his nose and mouth, pretending he wasn't an "outsider."

True Person Hua drank the tea True Person Brother Zhuge had poured for him, sighed secretly, and said:

"Brother Brother Zhuge, to tell the truth... this golden needle was given to me by the ancestor; it wasn't my own method either. After the ancestor personally refined it, he passed the planting method to me. There is only one needle, and it is planted only once; after planting it and sealing the divinity, there is no need to worry about it."

True Person Hua was somewhat helpless, "I also never expected that the ancestor would refine the needle, pavilion... the ancestor would send a letter, and in this situation, this needle could be planted on the wrong person, and I never expected to have to take it out."

True Person Brother Zhuge frowned, "So there is no way?"

True Person Hua said: "It's not that there is no way..."

True Person Brother Zhuge glanced at him, "Go find your ancestor?"

"Yes," True Person Hua said, "One day, let this little friend Mo go and see the ancestor of my Hua family; if the ancestor is willing, he will naturally remove the needle for him..."

True Person Brother Zhuge's gaze sank slightly.

True Person Hua was actually... planning this...

Mo Hua is only at the Foundation Establishment stage; if he goes to see the ancestor of the Hua family, wouldn't that be like a meat bun hitting a dog? Would he even be able to come back?

It seems the Hua family had a plan against him from the beginning and had left a backup plan long ago.

In this way, this brat Mo Hua is like a fish with a hook in its mouth, always being "fished" by the Hua family; he seems free, but he can never escape the Hua family's grasp.

Mo Hua's brows also furrowed.

Director Chief Huangfu and Director Shangguan also had solemn gazes.

Those who can cultivate to the Feather Transformation Realm and hold power in a major family are truly not simple characters.

This True Person Hua is also not simple.

"Since they won't agree, should I still go and ask?" Mo Hua said.

"You have to ask," True Person Brother Zhuge said, "There is no other way anyway; regardless of whether it works or not, let's just try; what if that True Person Hua truly agrees?"

"Even if he doesn't agree, we can always ask for some other news."
