The Taoist Court gave their agreement.
Over on the Taixu Gate side, many of the Elders also gladly accepted.
Eradicating the Demon Sect is the duty of Righteous Dao cultivators, and going on this mission also brings them Merit Points.
Currently, ever since the Three Sects Unification, the biggest trait of Taixu Gate is sheer numbers.
Itâs not just more disciplesâtheyâve also gained many more Elders.
The Sectâs Merit Points are limited; with more people comes fiercer competition, making the allocation of Merit increasingly tight.
The Elders also need to spend Merit Points for their daily affairs.
They are Golden Core Cultivators. Everything they need for cultivationâSpirit Stones, Spiritual Objects, Cultivation Technique inheritancesâis pricier than the last.
So, when Merit Points run short, life inevitably gets tougher.
Now, Mo Hua is initiating a joint operation between Taixu Gate and the Taoist Court to hunt down Demon Cultivatorsâa huge operation. Every Elder who joins stands to earn a significant sum of Merit Points.
For this reason, all the Taixu Gate Eldersâincluding those originally from Taiâa Sect and Rushing Void Sectâare looking more and more favorably on Mo Hua.
And everything Mo Hua needed to do, heâs already accomplished.
In the days that followed, all seemed calm on the surface, but beneath that, the plans to hunt Demon Cultivators were underway with feverish intensity.
Soon, everything was set in place. In three days, the attack on Demon Sect would officially begin.
This time, Mo Hua also intended to go in person.
Because the Demon Sect Leaders most likely carried the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Diagramâand that Formation Diagram, imbued with the power of Divine Beast, is his "preselected" own Magical Treasure.
If he didnât go see it himself, he simply wouldnât be at ease.
At the same time, if that Formation Diagram did appear, with so many Taixu Gate Elders present to back him up, itâd be easier to secretly take it for himself.
This was one of the reasons he insisted on involving the Sect Elders in the Demon Sect extermination.
After all, with more "insiders," things always went smoother.
Now, seeing the plan to wipe out the Demon Sect about to unfold, Mo Hua had to make his final preparations.
And that meant: getting ready some techniques to handle Golden Core opponents.
If he stayed hidden as the master behind the scenes, he wouldnât need to worry so much.
But now, with him going to the front lines in person, he had to prepare ways to stand against the Golden Core Demons.
Theoretically, with Sect Elders protecting him, the Golden Core Demons shouldnât be able to harm him.
But you can never be too careful; accidents happen.
You canât put your life in someone elseâs handsârisks must be grasped firmly by yourself.
He still couldnât learn the Reversed Spirit Formation; even if he could, itâd be troublesome to set up and not practical for improvisation.
"Aside from that, what methods does a mere Foundation Building Cultivator have to face Golden Core level Demons? How can I keep from being killed in a single exchange...?"
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
"Spells? No good..."
Even the Mini Meteorite Forbidden Technique might not do much damage to a Golden Core Demon Cultivatorâthe main issue is that casting Mini Meteorite Skill takes time. In a real clash with a Golden Core Demon, there wouldnât be any time to respond at all.
"Body refinement... Even worse."
With his level of Body Refinement, if a Golden Core Demon closes in and lands a punch, heâd be dead on the spot.
"That leaves Divine Sense..."
The Soul-Shocking Sword might work.
Even if it canât seriously injure a Golden Core opponent, in a critical moment, a bit of intimidation, a bit of disruptionâenough to save his own skinâshouldnât be an issue.
"If the Soul-Shocking Sword is an option... What about the Godslaying Sword?"
Mo Hua pondered in silence.
"The Godslaying Sword... so far, I can only unleash it within the Sea of Consciousness. I canât send it out yet..."
"But what if I could externalize it?"
Mo Huaâs mind followed this line of thought, and before he knew it, he froze.
He had used the Godslaying Sword Forms to cut down an Evil Embryo, and defeated Third Grade Evil God remnants...
The Evil Embryo was hard to say, but a Third Grade Evil Godâs remnant was definitely stronger than the Divine Sense of even a Golden Core Cultivator.
If thatâs so, if his Godslaying Sword could leave his body, striking outward, didnât that mean even without the help of the Reversed Spirit Formation, relying only on Divine Thought into swordâhe could just...
Kill a Golden Core?
In other words, with just Foundation Building Cultivation, could he actually, by virtue of Divine Thought alone, slay a Golden Core?
This would truly be... Divine Sense Proving the Dao?!
Mo Huaâs breath caughtâhe himself could scarcely believe it for a moment.
