The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 710 -563 Half Positive and Half Weird_1

Immortal Heavenly Thunder Pattern, erase everything!

Gui Tao’s people only took one glance, and they felt their whole body tremble, terrified and panic-stricken.

This was fear coming from the Great Dao.

At the same time, the black soul Taoist robe he wore, which spells couldn’t break, Divine Thought couldn’t invade, and Formations couldn’t destroy—the dark Taoist robe, woven with Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation and the remnants of fierce souls, was instantly torn apart by the tribulation lightning, turning into ash!

”Uncle, I told you not to look

Mo Hua’s tone was one of sighs, but his face was all smiles, like a sly little fox.

looking will turn you into ashes!”

Gui Tao’s people couldn’t believe it.

This innocent, harmless little thing, he…

He turned out to be a little swindler!

Not just him…

There was also his junior brother…

Gui Tao’s people only then understood.

His junior brother pretended to be despondent, disillusioned, with no desire to live, resigned to death…

But he had already calculated everything very clearly!

Gui Tao’s people were stunned as his junior brother’s last words before his death re-emerged in his mind:

”Senior brother… for the sake of our brotherhood, please don’t make it hard… for my few disciples

At first, he only felt disdain for his once high-minded junior brother.

His life hanging by a thread, he lacked ambition and wanted to entrust his disciples’ lives to the mercy of others.

Now that he’s turned demonic, indifferent and heartless, he would surely kill if he must, pleadings were useless.

But now it seems that his junior brother must have been well aware of this.

Pleading was utterly useless…

So his words… they weren’t a plea to me.

He was… baiting me?

He deliberately mentioned “my disciples” to make me not harm them, in fact reminding me:

He cared greatly for his disciples, for they harbored secrets…

He naturally led me to act, to let me Plant Devil in my Taoist Heart and enter this little thing’s Sea of Consciousness.

And then, quite naturally, help his disciple solve the Mysterious Heaven Great Formation, breaking through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck.

Even this Divine Sense’s deadly tribulation, he had calculated!

He may not have known what this deadly tribulation was, may not have known about this broken stele, may not have known about this tribulation thunder, but he must have known that once I entered… I would die here in his disciple’s Sea of Consciousness! 𝘳𝘼₦ỘᛒĘṡ

Knowing that death was certain, he set up a trap from the very beginning…

Seemingly having calculated everything with the Heavenly secret, but it was all strategic deception.

”Heavenly secret Calculation, it was used here

Gui Tao’s people’s eyes were dark and cold, with an angry look, still retaining a hint of terror, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled upwards…

”Dead, yet still scheming against me

Gui Tao’s people muttered to himself and then turned his gaze back to Mo Hua.

All sorts of recollections about Mo Hua surfaced before his eyes.

Immense Divine Sense, exquisite control, refined spells, Manifesting Formation, diligent learning and deep reflection, astonishing understanding, full of tricks and deceit…

The junior brother was no more, but there was still this little thing…

Gui Tao’s people’s Taoist robe shattered, his body inch by inch was annihilated.

HIs last look was towards Mo Hua, his expression bizarrely content as he smiled faintly, his voice ethereal and breaking:

”Little nephew, we will

”Meet again

Before he could finish, Gui Tao’s people were completely erased by the tribulation lightning, his Demon Thought dissipated!

Mo Hua frowned, released his Divine Sense, and sensed his own Sea of Consciousness.

Not until he confirmed that the Devil Planting of the Taoist Heart’s Demon Thought by “Uncle” was smashed by the tribulation lightning, scattered to bits, completely vanished, did he finally sit down on the ground and took a long breath.

Uncle’s Demon Thought was too strong.

This was the most powerful Divine Sense entity Mo Hua had encountered so far, and probably would for a very long time…

Merely at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, yet the oppression was pervasive.

In a head-on fight, he stood no chance.

Mo Hua could only act, tricking Uncle into taking a look at the Heavenly Dao Thunder Pattern.

This was also what he had learned from “Uncle.”

On Dali Mountain, at Dry Wood Cliff, inside the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

In his presence, Uncle used tribulation lightning to execute a cultivator on the Demon Path who was undergoing Feather Transformation.

Mo Hua had an extremely profound impression of this.

”Heavenly tribulation can also be a weapon!”

At this moment, he had just made use of it, utilizing a stroke of Immortal Pattern containing tribulation lightning to trap and kill Uncle’s Demon Thought.

”There’s still so much to learn from Uncle!”

Whether it’s Planting Devil in the Taoist Heart or Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation,

Or the approach of using Heavenly Dao rules to suppress a formidable enemy, they had profoundly benefited Mo Hua…

He must remember the teaching “by example” of Uncle!

Mo Hua nodded earnestly.

Then he blinked and looked at the elegant, abundant Divine Sense floating in his Sea of Consciousness, licking his lips involuntarily.

As the tribulation lightning eradicated the Demon Planting of the Taoist Heart’s Demon Thought, shattering its intent, there were remnants left behind. Not pure, but thick and immensely powerful Gui Tao Divine Sense.

This Gui Tao Divine Sense was a dark gray color.

Ground down by the Great Dao and erased by the tribulation lightning, it contained changes of Gui Tao and powerful masterless Divine Sense.

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened.

”This is what Uncle ‘gave’ to me, so naturally, it counts as mine!”

”Uncle is really a good person!”

Mo Hua gratefully thought to himself, and then his eyes sparkled.

If he could refine this powerful Gui Tao Divine Sense, could his own Divine Sense break through the long-standing bottleneck…

Mo Hua felt a warmth in his heart and immediately sat down to meditate.

He began to devour these Demon Thoughts bit by bit.

As the Taoist Stele had ground down for him, and the tribulation thunder had erased for him, these Demon Thoughts should be safe, no need for him to Manifest Formation again, to burn them afresh…

The thick Divine Sense like the sea filled the air all around.

Mo Hua concentrated, holding his breath, opening his mouth slightly.

Strands of dark gray Divine Sense, along with some bizarre aura, were inhaled into Mo Hua’s belly.

Mo Hua’s mind was shaken and he couldn’t help but open his eyes.

Something… was not quite right with these Divine Senses.

They seemed to contain some of the variations of the Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation and insights into the Divine Sense of Gui Tao…

These insights seemed to be Uncle’s…

Although Mo Hua did not know what use such enlightenment had, after thinking about it, he was sure that since Uncle was so formidable, this sort of enlightenment must also be extraordinary.

Even if it couldn’t immediately lead to a great awakening, it would certainly deepen his understanding of the Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation.

Mo Hua’s heart rejoiced, and he started to calm his mind, absorbing, exhaling, refining, and assimilating, while experiencing and comprehending the understanding.

He slowly settled all the subtle and indescribable, yet ever-changing enlightenment in his heart, solidifying above the Taoist Heart…

Time trickled by.

The remnants of Gui Tao’s people’s Divine Thought were also gradually being devoured by Mo Hua.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense, too, was growing stronger bit by bit.

His understanding of the Gui Tao was deepening, little by little…

Mo Hua felt his Sea of Consciousness was “bulging,” as if he had “eaten” too much, but he still bore it, quietly refining.

This was an opportunity that came once in a thousand years.

Uncle wouldn’t be giving him “gifts” every day.

The next time Uncle might “give” something, he might not dare to accept it.

This time was a combination of the right time, place, and people. Without Uncle’s defense, he managed to upset the boat in the small ditch.

He would not have such good luck next time…

So when it was time to eat his fill, he definitely couldn’t be polite!

Mo Hua, “ravenous and thirsty,” did not stop refining the Divine Thought, strengthening his own Divine Sense.

Endless Divine Thought, bit by bit, poured into Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness, filling in the chasm between Thirteen Stripes and Fourteen Stripes.

Who knows how long it had been.

Who knows how long it took to fill…

Finally, the gap between the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and the Qi Foundation Middle Stage was completely leveled!

The impassable gap vanished, and Divine Thought ascended a level!

Suddenly, Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness trembled, and he felt his Divine Sense suddenly expand, spreading outward, his Divine Thought becoming more profound.

His Divine Sense finally crossed the threshold, reaching the Qi Foundation Middle Stage—

Fourteen Stripes Divine Sense!

…

Simultaneously, outside the Sea of Consciousness.

At the moment of breakthrough, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought suddenly overflowed, the Fourteen Stripes Foundation Establishment Divine Sense caused violent fluctuations, spreading out in all directions.

All the Feathered Immortals present were startled.

”What was that just now

”Foundation Establishment Divine Sense?”

”Foundation… Middle Phase?”

They turned to look at Mo Hua, shielded beneath the Brocade Mountain and River Umbrella.

The fluctuations of a Foundation Establishment stage Divine Sense were indeed not strong for them, the Feathered Immortals; in fact, it could be said to be… insignificant…

But it also depended on who was emitting this Divine Sense…

”The Divine Sense fluctuation just now, was it… from this little cultivator?”

A Feathered Immortal murmured in question.

”Seems like it

The others were somewhat uncertain.

If it wasn’t, with so many Feathered Immortals watching, there definitely wouldn’t be a mistake.

But if it was…

The Divine Sense of the Qi Foundation Middle Phase…

They looked at Mo Hua again.

Was this the strength of Divine Sense that someone his age, in his realm, at his level should have?

Even Bai Qiancheng showed surprise, his expression becoming dazed for a moment.

True Man Situ’s face, however, was somber.

That moment’s Divine Sense fluctuation was indeed the Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

But when the Divine Sense fluctuation dissipated and True Man Situ used his senses to probe again, he found an enshrouding fog around Mo Hua, all chaos and mystery, unable to perceive anything at all.

This was clearly the work of someone, or something, concealing the qi movement and even the causality.

If it were Mr. Zhuang, it might be alright, but if it were… Gui Tao’s people…

True Man Situ’s expression became solemn, his gaze intensifying.

Divine Sense fluctuations did not occur without reason.

Unless something unusual had happened within this child’s Sea of Consciousness.

Now that he was afflicted with Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, that one anomaly could very likely be…

Gui Tao’s people swallowing this child’s Divine Sense?!

True Man Situ’s heart chilled, knowing that something was amiss.

At that moment, Mo Hua suddenly moved.

He held his head, showing signs of pain, discomfort, and confusion…

All were shocked, their expressions changing, and they became as if facing a formidable enemy!

Had Gui Tao’s people… awakened?

Some drew their knives, others drew their swords, and some conjured Magical Treasures…

But for the moment, out of respect for Gui Tao’s dignity and the fear of the complexities of Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, no one dared to act rashly.

The room was silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Beneath the Brocade Mountain and River Umbrella, Mo Hua’s pupils remained pitch black.

Before everyone’s eyes, he shook his head, and after his Divine Sense partially recovered, he raised his little hand, rubbing his eyes.

When he opened them again.

The blackness in his eyes gradually receded, and his eyes became clear once more.

Everyone stood frozen in place.

”What’s going on

Planting Devil in Taoist Heart was a sure death sentence, at best leading to insanity, at worst, to both physical and mental destruction, with no place for burial!

How could he be unharmed?

True Man Situ stared at Mo Hua’s eyes for a moment, noticing the distinct black and white, clean and clear, vivid and spirited, he couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air.

”How is this possible

”Can Planting Devil in Taoist Heart… actually self-heal?”

It was unheard of!

True Man Situ was shaken inside.

Just who was this little cultivator?

His gaze flickered with unease, then looking back at Mo Hua, his expression paused, and in a daze, he noticed that Mo Hua seemed somewhat different than before.

His face was still innocent and childlike.

But his gaze was profound, half clear, half mysterious, the two intertwined.

Half positive and half weird, naturally as one…
