Chapter 725: Secondary Thunder Flow

Water Yama?!

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart, then frowned.

"Who is Water Yama?"

He had spent over two years in Qianxue Zhou and surrounding Xiancheng, capturing many criminal cultivators, demonic cultivators, and interacting with numerous dark cultivators.

He knew far more secrets than ordinary cultivators.

But he had never heard the name "Water Yama."

Mo Hua looked down again.

He really didn't want to tell Mo Hua.

Just what kind of origin could this Water Yama have?

A criminal cultivator wanted by Dao Ting Si? Or a demonic cultivator overflowing with evil?

If he is a chosen claw of the demonic god, does he carry some inheritance rivaling forbidden arts?

After finishing the fish, Mo Hua bid farewell to Master Gu.

Wenren Wan said: "Don't worry—these arrays were personally given to you by your Superior Guan and me; no one will trouble you."

"Mm."

He wanted to discuss with Master Gu the method of connecting divine sense to control the Five Elements Source Armor's "Kaiyuan."

"On the ground, one could see traces of kneeling blood, rolling heads, and fragments of chains..."

Somewhere in the depths, storm clouds gathered.

"Water Yama" replaced it.

After some time passed, the matter stirred barely a ripple and seemed to fade from memory.

Judgment... beheading...

Mo Hua's divine sense swept over it, deliberately counting again.

Mo Hua continued flipping through, and suddenly froze, then his eyes brightened sharply.

Master Gu quickly understood.

"Yes," Mo Hua nodded.

"This has serious drawbacks."

He thought of how these fish might have been caught by fishing cultivators braving storms, risking their lives, enduring great hardship.

Mo Hua frowned.

Mo Hua sighed deeply.

Remote water villages are not Xiancheng.

"In a life-or-death battle, if another cultivator with strong divine sense forcibly intervenes within the armor, commanding the arrays to close, reverse, or self-destruct, it is equivalent to handing the enemy a weapon and cutting off your own limbs..."

The Shangguan family's cultivation industry focuses on "practical industrial" arrays.

"It's fine," Mo Hua smiled. "Thank you, Master Gu."

As long as it doesn't involve arrays, Uncle Gu is quite clever.

"This kind of armor... I've never heard of it. Gushan's Armory has never forged one."

Mo Hua's mouth suddenly felt tasteless.

Gu Changhuai frowned.

But Master Gu's hospitality was hard to refuse.

Only the Nàzǐ Ring is absolutely safe.

Yet after that, all remained calm.

And many matters are too complex to explain clearly; Mo Hua only vaguely said:

"Young Master, how can you say that? This is what I should do."

Dao Ting Si continued investigating, but found no results.

"But Changhuai devotes himself entirely to Dao Ting Si's affairs and isn't proficient in arrays; he couldn't explain anything clearly. After much effort, he only said you seemed very interested in Yuan Ci arrays, so I gathered these magnetic pattern annotations and Yuan Ci array diagrams for you..."

Could there be more clues about the demonic gods?

Master Gu smiled, then warmly invited: "By the way, Xianhe Pavilion in Qingzhou just received several fresh, top-grade spiritual fish. Young Master, would you like to try them?"

Even the demonic cultivators had reduced their appearances.

During his day off, Mo Hua took time to visit the Gu family again.

"Once the armor's array 'Kaiyuan' activates, every cultivator—friend or foe—can use their divine sense to control the arrays within the armor..."

Wenren Wan, seeing Mo Hua's delight, smiled faintly.

Or does this method of annihilation conceal some deeper meaning?

Mo Hua very much wanted to visit the slaughtered Yu family water village, to see if any clues remained in the karmic traces—but he could not defy Master Xun's orders.

Second-rank... twenty patterns?!

Ultimate Array?!

He immediately pulled out the array diagram and saw several ancient, strange seal characters written upon it:

Secondary Thunder Flow Array.

He noticed one array diagram among them was peculiar.

Especially after dreaming of eating the Fish Head River God and a pile of fish demons and evil spirits, now hearing the word "fish" made him feel bloated.

So many array diagrams...

Mo Hua immediately shoved the array diagram into his storage pouch, then tucked the pouch into his chest.

Even more valuable than Xu Wanyi had imagined...

He was only responsible for offering opinions and references; the final decision rested with Mo Hua.

But the fishing cultivators who toiled relentlessly earned barely enough spirit stones to survive.

The Wen family seemed to have deeper roots, focusing primarily on "array principle research."

"Auntie Wan, rest assured!"

Mo Hua sat in the hall drinking tea, waiting quietly for a while.

"From the few traces left, the fishing cultivators in the water fortress seemed to have been chained, forced to kneel, and beheaded."

It really does seem to make sense…

On the table were several spirit fish, shaped like coral, flavored as exquisite delicacies, broth golden, fragrant and visually stunning.

These array diagrams covered a wide range.

Mo Hua began carefully flipping through the array diagrams.

Mo Hua pondered briefly, thinking to himself:

"I wonder if there's any way to help those fishing cultivators earn more spirit stones…"

Could this Water Yama Lord be a newcomer?

Gu Changhuai: "Why ask about this title?"

At Immortal Crane Pavilion, fish were sold at extremely high prices.

Then Wen Wan furrowed her brow, "But the electromagnetic array is extremely obscure; neither the Shang family nor the Wen family have many records of it, and few disciples are willing to learn it. I don't know if these diagrams are enough…"

Mo Hua exclaimed in surprise: "This is too precious…"

But when they arrived at the Gu family, Wen Wan was entertaining guests—apparently relatives from the Wen family, bringing her some gifts.

He needed to greet Auntie Wan first, then return to the sect.

In the days that followed, Mo Hua cultivated and studied at the sect, occasionally keeping an eye on Dao Ting Si's activities.

He felt Mo Hua was surely hiding something from him.

Mo Hua froze, slowly opened his storage bag, probed it with his spiritual sense, and his mouth dropped open.

Secondary Thunder Flow Absolute Array!

But Mo Hua knew the shadow was slowly spreading…

"I received a message token; the token said…"

Thus, this massacre stirred only brief unrest along the Yan Shui River, then gradually faded, becoming mere gossip over tea and meals.

In his spare time, Mo Hua sent messages to secretly ask Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, have you heard of the title 'Water Yama Lord'?"

Mo Hua's expression turned grim.

"Spirit fish…?"

Most were still five-element and eight-trigram arrays.

Master Gu, seeing Mo Hua's confident demeanor, slowly nodded.

He flipped through the menu again.

Even demonic cultivators wouldn't be this foolish—writing everything into a message token…

Mo Hua paused, surprised.

Mo Hua shook his head, his head aching, his mind even more confused; then he fell into thought:

The cultivators inside were all poor fishing cultivators, relatively isolated in daily life, with little contact with the outside world.

"Fine!" Mo Hua no longer hesitated, then laughed brightly: "Thank you, Auntie Wan!"

Less than a stick of incense later, Wen Wan appeared at the door, gesturing mysteriously to Mo Hua.

Before Mo Hua could answer, Gu Changhuai added: "Is it related to the massacre of the Yu family's water fortress?"

Mo Hua was utterly stunned.

The blood of cause and effect grew darker.

But right now, he was powerless.

"These are array techniques from the Shang family's private collection—I had your Uncle Shang retrieve them. Supposedly, the Shang family earned merit and was rewarded by Dao Ting Si, receiving this array's transmission from the Tian Shu Pavilion. But it's too difficult, no one knows its use, so no one ever learned it, and it gradually gathered dust…"

Mo Hua wanted to refuse again.

At Immortal Crane Pavilion, the ambiance was elegant and refined.

But this child is full of tricks—if he doesn't want to speak, I won't get anything out of him.

In addition, research and application of arrays and spirit artifacts, especially the forging of five-element source armors with amplification power, is also crucial.

That's a long story.

"Young Master's ideas are truly unconventional…"

Behind it was a volume titled "Supplemental Record of Fixed Magnetic Patterns," its cover stamped with the Wen family's Array Repository seal.

Nothing happened.

The array on the five-element source armor is the Five-Element Source Array.

Wen Wan smiled: "I thought Longhuai knew you better, so I asked him what arrays you usually study."

Gu Changhuai frowned, puzzled: "How do you know this title?"

Each family has its strengths; they can learn from each other and complement their weaknesses.

"The Yu family's water fortress and this Water Yama Lord—I'll investigate them. You stay put in the sect. If I find anything, I'll tell you."

However, the five-element and eight-trigram array transmissions of the Shang and Wen families differ somewhat from those of Grand Void Gate.

Mo Hua nodded, his voice trembling: "Extremely precious! Extremely precious!"

Gu Changhuai hurried off again.

The five-element and eight-trigram arrays are the most widely used and universal arrays in the cultivation world, and nearly every array master must learn them as a beginner.

Wen Ren Wan, her eyebrows like crescent moons, smiled gently: "Take a look at these array diagrams—do they suit your taste?"

But if he didn't tell him, Mo Hua would surely go to any lengths to find out; better to tell him himself, saving Mo Hua time, preventing him from wasting his cultivation, or worse, letting his curiosity lead him into danger.

"Because this array is unusual, it cannot follow conventional forging standards—it needs structural modifications so the array within the spiritual weapon can be controlled by a cultivator's spiritual sense…"

Xu Wanyi is truly a great benefactor!

Mo Hua clutched the array diagrams, unwilling to let go, flipping through them repeatedly, then suddenly froze.

Mo Hua took a sip of tea, cleared his thoughts, and spoke slowly:

Mo Hua gave a slight nod.

That means… Huo Fotuo is dead, so the Great Wilderness Evil God has promoted another demon lord to become the leader of this family-destroying massacre?

If this Water Yama can replace Huo Fotuo, doesn't that mean his strength, even if not as strong as Huo Fotuo's, is not much weaker?

Even an array master, if he does not master the Yuan Ci array technique, or even if he masters it but has never glimpsed the essence of Yuan Ci, will have no understanding of what the words "Secondary Thunder Flow Array" mean.

Yuan Ci array technique!

"Mm!"

Mo Hua held the array diagrams in his hands, treasuring them as if they were priceless, his heart blooming with joy.

"Of course, don't go telling anyone about this."

"Mm!"

Gu Master pondered carefully, then said:

"If the array within the armor can be controlled by a cultivator's spiritual sense… then there's no way to restrict which cultivator can control it."

Seeing that Mo Hua truly liked them, Xu Wanyi felt relieved.

Gu Changhuai thought for a moment, then replied: "Alright, I'll remember. When I have time, I'll have someone look into it."

"Yes," Mo Hua said.

First was a book titled "Collection of Fixed Magnetic Patterns," bearing the seal of the Shangguan Family's Array Library.

The number of array patterns… seems a bit high?

Mo Hua blinked. "Wan Yi?"

Uncle Gu is no doubt the Dao Ting Si's Gu Diansi—he thinks fast.

The Great Wilderness Evil God now has yet another place to spread his doctrine.

The surrounding rooms were sealed with arrays to block eavesdropping.

It's an alternative Yuan Ci array technique, outside the Grand Void Gate's lineage.

Another transmission order?

Transmission orders aren't that omnipotent—they can't uncover every secret.

It's never-ending…

Mo Hua returned to the Gu family.

The conversation ended here.

Since Mo Hua couldn't figure it out, he could only ask others.

Mo Hua frowned, his mood solemn, then couldn't help but mutter inwardly.

"It's fine."

Xu Wanyi took out a storage pouch and secretly handed it to Mo Hua, softly warning:

"Keep it safe. Don't let anyone know."

His remark—was it even a compliment?

If Xu Wanyi weren't here, he'd have already stuffed the array diagram of this supreme array into his Na Zi Ring.

The Yujia Water Village case is still under investigation by the Dao Ting Si, but there's been little progress.

Whether it's cultivation, spiritual sense, or array technique—every bit stronger is better.

Even Uncle Gu, the Gu Diansi, has never heard of it…

Mo Hua sucked in a sharp breath, staring at Wen Ren Wan in disbelief:

"Wan Yi, this…"

Mo Hua had grown tired of eating fish.

One, two, three… twenty patterns in total.

Twenty patterns?

Mo Hua paused, feeling something odd, then suddenly realized—he widened his eyes.

"I went there—the whole village was drenched in blood, the ground soaked red, the soil crimson, but no corpses remained—only bits of flesh and debris were left behind…"

"Alright," Gu Master murmured, "I'll go back and think some more, then try more experiments…"

Mo Hua exclaimed: "Wan Yi, this is…"

He thought again, his eyes brightening slightly, then shook his head:

Beyond the Yan Shui River, all Xianchengs remained unchanged; families large and small still lived in luxury.

Xu Wanyi hadn't thought so far ahead; seeing Mo Hua's stunned expression, his eyes glued to the array, she knew this array was invaluable to him—and she was satisfied.

"None," Mo Hua said. "Only this one name."

This is a second-rank supreme array, closest to the primordial Secondary Thunder Pattern within the Yuan Ci array technique!

"So this armor lies between 'spiritual weapon' and 'array medium'—it combines both: it's a spiritual weapon, yet also an array medium…"

"Is this array very valuable?" Wen Ren Wan asked Mo Hua curiously.

Seeing that Mo Hua had safely stored the array diagrams, Xu Wanyi finally relaxed and said:

"It's getting late—return to your sect soon. And little Yu—please take good care of him."

Mo Hua's expression brightened with joy.

He could still only do what he must: cultivate diligently and strive to break through to Foundation Establishment mid-stage soon.

"It's like…"

If we eliminate this Water Yama Lord, will some other nonsense like Golden Arhat, Wood Yaksha, or Earth Treasury suddenly keep popping up afterward…?

Mo Hua ate with great delight.

And most of them were complete sets, covering everything from initial formation patterns up to first-rank and even second-rank high-grade formations.

"But this kind of armor has a unique design, with no precedent—crafting it will likely be time-consuming and laborious, taking at least half a month to produce another set and test its effects…"

Mo Hua frowned in confusion, set down his teacup, and followed Wen Wanyi into a side chamber.

The Grand Void Gate is a sect dedicated to transmitting teachings, and its formations are primarily focused on "inheritance and instruction."

"Enough, enough!" Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, then smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Wanyi!"

Gu Changhuai knew this, so he said:

Mo Hua was deeply shaken, unable to calm himself for a long time.

In addition to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formations, this collection even included Magnetic Field formations!

Below that were several second-rank high-grade Magnetic Field formations.

Mo Hua had never heard of these formations.

This "Water Yama Lord" seemed to have peculiar tastes.

Wen Wanyi, seeing this, looked puzzled, glanced down, then nodded slightly:

Gu Changhuai fell silent for a long while, then, after a moment, his expression turned grave as he slowly sent a message:

"The Yu family's water fortress… was utterly devastated."

"Keep it well, and read it slowly when you return to the sect," Wen Wanyi smiled gently.

Gu Changhuai paused, then used a fitting analogy: "Like a criminal undergoing judgment, kneeling on the execution ground as his head is severed…"

After the massacre, Dao Ting Si temporarily sealed the news to avoid alerting the enemy.

Master Gu's expression turned startled, then his brows knotted like a twisted rope.

"Hmm…" Gu Changhuai said indifferently, "Do you have any other clues from your message token?"

The Water Yama Lord had also vanished without a trace.

Wen Wanyi waved again, her eyes smiling as she whispered: "Come here—I have a few things for you."

Wen Wanyi blinked, "Since you call me 'Aunt Wanyi,' whatever I give you, you take."

"Mm-hmm," Mo Hua nodded.

This is a supreme formation—even if "opened," few know it, let alone try to seize control of your spiritual sense.

Master Gu will return to Gushan Forge to study the crafting of the "opened" Five Elements Source Armor.

Wen Wanyi shook her head, "This is what you deserve."

Gu Changhuai pondered for a long while, then sent a message: "I've never heard of it."

These reclusive cultivators from remote places are as insignificant as floating duckweed—whether they wither or flourish, live or die, no one cares.

Gu Changhuai clearly froze, "Water Yama Lord?"

"But," Mo Hua hesitated, "what about the Shang family and the Wen family…?"

Yet as he ate, Mo Hua suddenly remembered those fish cultivators from the small fishing village.

The Yu family's water fortress is gone, but the nearby fish cultivators still struggle to make a living.

"By the way, Uncle Gu," Mo Hua suddenly remembered and asked, "Have you been to the Yu family's water fortress? Were there any other clues inside?"

Mo Hua didn't want to refuse Master Gu's kindness, so he nodded:

"Great, great!"

Mo Hua's mood was complicated.

On the list, the three characters "Fire Buddha" had dimmed and been completely erased.

"Aunt Wanyi, what is this…?"

"I know you love studying formations…" Wen Wanyi smiled. "These are some formation texts and diagrams I had your Shang uncle retrieve from the Shang family. Some are from Wen family's private collection—they've just arrived. Take them all, and study them when you have time."

Mo Hua nodded solemnly.

From now on, Yu'er is my younger brother.

Anyone—even a Great Wilderness Demon God—who dares lay a hand on Yu'er, I will destroy their divine remains, sever their incarnations, and turn them into "snacks," swallowing them bite by bite!
