Mo Hua himself is already close to being a deity, so to be honest, this blessing isn’t as useful to him as one might imagine.

But it symbolizes his "friendship" with the Pixiu.

This horn is now larger, indicating that the Pixiu is very happy.

The Pixiu is happy, and naturally, Mo Hua is happy too.

Moreover, the Pixiu can suppress the Evil Embryo, which counts as doing him a big favor.

This true embodiment of the Evil God is immensely malicious, a significant threat that cannot be killed for the time being. Mo Hua himself can’t afford the time and effort to keep watch over the Evil God every day.

With the Divine Beast Pixiu holding it down, Mo Hua feels relatively at ease.

Thus, the matter of the Evil God is temporarily resolved.

"There’s still one last thing to do..."

Mo Hua murmured to himself, then bid farewell to the big-headed Pixiu. His Divine Sense returned to the Sea of Consciousness, and his awareness gradually awakened...

...

At the Qian Learning State Boundary, in the Sword Observation Pavilion.

Upon the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, fourteen Divine Thought Cultivators, their breaths weak and lives dwindling, watched the Seven Stars Lamp, one by one dim and extinguish.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

All Heaven Void Ancestors wore extremely solemn expressions.

Suddenly, Wenren Wan opened her eyes, but before she could say anything, she felt her Sea of Consciousness ache with splitting pain. The repercussions of the Great Dream Heaven Draw retraced, making her wish for death.

Wenren Wan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, leaving a blood mark between her brows, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

At this moment, the Great Dream Heaven Draw spun, the Seven Stars Formation gleamed, True Man Situ also opened his eyes.

His condition was equally dire.

Divine Thought Power exhausted, Divine Way Treasure shattered, and his Divine Soul had been greatly reduced by Mo Hua’s Heavenly Demon Sword. Even if his Primordial Spirit returned to the flesh, his Vital Energy was mostly lost.

True Man Situ’s face was pale, and his Divine Sense felt close to shattering, intensely painful, yet he clenched his teeth and pushed through, urged the Seven Stars Formation. With Mo Hua’s removal of the wicked taint, he preserved the remaining slivers of the Primordial Spirit of a dozen fellow cultivators, returned them to their bodies, and nourished them with the Seven Stars Power, keeping their lives hanging by a thread.

There must be no delay in this matter.

Even a slight hesitation could lead these fellow cultivators to perish.

Thus, True Man Situ almost with immense willpower, steadied his Taoist Heart, bore the exhaustion of his Divine Sense, and the shattering, intense pain of his Sea of Consciousness, to return everyone’s dimly burning Primordial Spirit, back to its soul and place.

Having completed this, True Man Situ exhaled deeply.

But he still didn’t dare truly relax; once this breath scattered, and the words remained unfinished, it could ruin everything.

True Man Situ remembered Mo Hua’s instructions, clenched his jaws so hard he almost bled, and spoke to everyone word by word:

"Have everyone withdraw... from the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation!"

"Brother Situ..." Elder Master Xun supported True Man Situ, his expression heavy, wanting to inquire further.

True Man Situ suddenly gripped Elder Master Xun’s arm, his eyes cloudy but full of determination.

He knew he couldn’t hold on, each word drained him as if a knife cut into his Sea of Consciousness, leaving him unable to explain more, he could only tell the most trusted Elder Master Xun, word by word:

"Quick... retreat!"

After uttering those words, his Primordial Spirit already riddled with wounds, True Man Situ could no longer endure. His face lost all color, his consciousness completely faded, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Elder Master Xun’s heart sank, he quickly transferred a strand of True Qi to True Man Situ to maintain the workings of his meridians.

Simultaneously activating the Seven Stars Power to protect his Primordial Spirit.

He also fed him some restorative Pills and burned Calming Incense to nurture his energy.

Other ancestors also rushed to aid.

With various methods exhausted, although True Man Situ’s face remained pale, his life was temporarily stabilized, only then did everyone feel reassured, but soon all frowned again.

"What happened with the matter of slaying the Evil God?"

"Did it succeed? Or fail?"

"Is the Evil God... dead?"

"True Man Situ didn’t have time to say..."

"He merely mentioned retreating from the Blood Sacrifice Formation? And seemingly, the faster the better?"

All the Heaven Void Ancestors wore solemn expressions, frowning in confusion.

What does it mean?

If the plan succeeded, the Evil God was successfully killed in the cradle, the catastrophe dispelled unwittingly; then at this time, they should seize the moment, press onwards, annihilate the Demon Cultivators, destroy the Blood Sacrifice Formation, to completely eliminate the scourge of this Evil Demon.

If the plan failed, and the Evil God wasn’t dead. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Then now, more than ever, they should press onwards with full force, destroy the Blood Sacrifice Formation at all costs, eliminate the Evil God’s foundation, weakening the Evil God’s power, to prevent giving the Evil God a chance to breathe.

Once the Evil God continues to grow, the Blood Sacrifice Formation spreads, becoming an emerging threat, then the entire Qian Learning State Boundary will be truly in despair.

Therefore, regardless of success or failure, there’s absolutely no reason to retreat.

Yet this is the message True Man Situ brought out from the depths of the Evil God’s nightmare.

Also, it’s True Man Situ’s only conveyed sentence, he took his last breath to relay this sentence, clearly it involves immensely consequential cause and effect.

Should we retreat?

All the Heaven Void Ancestors focused their gazes, undecided.

Some agreed to retreat, some disagreed.

"Eradicating evil must be thoroughly done, we absolutely cannot retreat."

"True Man Situ is the Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, his words must be trusted."

"How are you certain that True Man Situ is still True Man Situ? What if he’s been polluted by the Evil God, bewitched, intentionally delivering a message for us to retreat from the Blood Sacrifice Formation, allowing these Demons a chance to breathe and continue to breed and grow..."
