Mo Hua was shaken by this immense system of laws, and for a long while, he could not calm his heart.
The Taotie Law was the prerequisite law for transforming into a dragon.
First, Taotie had to "devour" demons; only then could ten thousand demons "transform" into a dragon.
First, Taotie had to devour the patterns of ten thousand demons; only then could there be the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array Diagram...
But why?
Mo Hua frowned, feeling that there were still far too many laws and patterns here that puzzled him.
Taotie... ate arrays?
Was that really right?
Taotie was a ferocious beast. How could it eat arrays?
"Was it because... Taotie was a ferocious beast of laws, capable of devouring everything between Heaven and Earth, and thus naturally able to devour 'laws' as well? And because arrays were the manifestation of laws, devouring arrays was essentially devouring laws?"
"Or perhaps Taotie was not merely 'eating' laws."
"It merely followed its instincts and devoured flesh and blood. But all things under Heaven and Earth, including all manner of living beings such as humans, were born bearing Heaven and Earth's will, and inherently carried a certain amount of laws. After being devoured by Taotie, their flesh was refined, and their laws were naturally 'digested' as well. Would that not also amount to devouring laws?" Yet regardless of the underlying principle, at the very least, devouring laws and devouring arrays were things that, in Mo Hua's understanding, could probably be explained.
After devouring arrays and digesting them, it produced "residual patterns"...
How was he supposed to understand these "residual patterns"?
They could not possibly be... Taotie's "droppings," could they?
Mo Hua wore a look of disgust, but after thinking it over, he felt that was not right.
Did divine beasts, or
