The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 880 -614 Unsealing

Mo Hua had only tasted the “bone marrow” that flowed out of the Sheep-Horned Enforcer’s head after cracking the skull with a Thunder Pattern and shattering the Divine Thought.

This “bone marrow” was similar to the blood of an Evil God.

Though scant in quantity, the taste was exquisite.

It was just unknown what the real Evil God would look like after being refined.

After “eating” it, to what extent would one’s Divine Sense be enhanced…

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then suddenly furrowed his brows.

No…

He was feeling somewhat “inflated” now…

Such things as Evil Gods, presumably powerful and terrifying, would certainly pose unknown dangers upon encounter.

Even if one truly harbored the idea of targeting an Evil God…

One would have to wait until their Divine Thought was sufficiently profound, Divine Thought Slaughter was powerfully substantial, carefully plan, thoroughly prepare, conceal actions, and stealthily “eat” it…

Thinking about “eating” an Evil God now was still too soon…

And such thoughts were too disrespectful towards the Evil Gods.

Mo Hua buried this thought deep in his heart.

”It’s not that Evil Gods are too good for me to eat, but rather that Demon Monsters offer better value for money.”

Evil Gods are too strong, better not to provoke if possible.

But these weaker Demon Fiends, one could stew them in a pot, and it wouldn’t matter if one ate more of them.

And after eating them clean, there wouldn’t be any to snitch.

Besides, they were targeting Yu Er, so he had even less reason to be polite.

Mo Hua glanced again at the sweetly sleeping Yu Er and couldn’t help thinking:

If Yu Er was taken with him, would she continuously attract Demon Monsters to provide for his appetite?

In that case, he would have a constant supply of “provisions.”

And his Divine Sense would continuously grow stronger.

It would be just like fishing.

These evil and ferocious Demon Monsters were the “fish.”

If that was the case, then Xiaoyuer was…

”Little bait”?

Mo Hua was startled, then immediately shook his head, dispelling this disrespectful thought about Xiaoyuer…

Little Yu Er on the bed let out a soft “hmm,” as if expressing displeasure.

Mo Hua gave a wry smile and gently stroked Yu Er’s head.

In her sleep, Yu Er sensed a serene and tranquil presence, smiled naively, and then fell deep asleep again.

Mo Hua continued to keep watch by Yu Er’s side, while his Divine Sense plunged into the Sea of Consciousness, continuing to simulate the Primordial Magnet Formation, deducing the Secondary Thunder Patterns…

No Demon Monsters appeared for the entire night.

The next day, as usual, Mo Hua cultivated, practiced Drawing Formation, and played with Yu Er for a while.

In the evening, he still watched over Yu Er.

The room was empty but very quiet, without Karma Patterns, without Void Chains, without Demon Monsters, only with the tranquility of the night and the peace of moonlight.

The night was still calm.

Mo Hua then knew the “chives” had been harvested, and they needed time to grow…

The next day, Mo Hua said his farewells to Wenren Wan and set off on his return to Taixu Gate.

Xiaoyuer still clutched at Mo Hua’s hem, clearly reluctant to part.

But compared to before, Yu Er’s complexion was visibly better. Although somewhat sad, her eyes were shiny, and her little face blushed.

Mo Hua waved goodbye to everyone, and Yu Er, mimicking Mo Hua, waved as well.

After Mo Hua’s departure, Wenren Wan pondered deeply for a long while, then finally made up her mind and said to Shangguan Yi:

”I want to send Yu Er to Taixu Gate!”

Shangguan Yi, who was drinking tea, choked in the middle, coughed twice, and said helplessly,

”How can you suddenly

Jump from one idea to another…

”I’ve made up my mind!”

Wenren Wan’s eyes were resolute, evidently after much deliberation.

Shangguan Yi was slightly startled, frowned slightly, and said softly:

”Yu Er has great potential and could enter the ‘Four Great Sects’ in the future

”Entering the Four Great Sects, the inheritance learned, the peers befriended, the connections made are all a level above the Eight Great Gates

Wenren Wan shook her head. “I don’t care about Yu Er’s potential, her path of cultivation, or her future achievements. I am her mother, and I only wish for her to be safe and happy

”I don’t want Yu Er to be too involved with those grand ambitions of the Noble Clans and the karmic destinies. I’m scared

Wenren Wan’s face paled slightly, I’m afraid that one day I won’t see Yu Er again

Wenren Wan closed her eyes.

Or even worse…

Little Yu Er, lying cold in her arms…

Throughout these days of nightmares plaguing Yu Er, leaving her emaciated, Wenren Wan would often have such dreams.

Even more horrifying…

Wenren Wan’s body couldn’t stop trembling.

Shangguan Yi held his wife’s hand, filled with guilt.

It was his neglect as a husband that caused his son to suffer and his wife to worry. Still, he didn’t quite agree with allowing Yu Er into Taixu Gate.

Shangguan Yi thought for a moment and slowly said:

”Wan’er, do you want to send Yu Er to Taixu Gate because of… that boy Mo Hua?”

Wenren Wan didn’t conceal the truth and replied:

”Yes, I want Yu Er to stay close to Mo Hua.”

Shangguan Yi’s brows furrowed even more.

He didn’t dislike Mo Hua; on the contrary, he found the boy to be well-mannered, sincere, and endearing. He was also grateful to Mo Hua for the matter concerning Yu Er.

But in Shangguan Yi’s heart, there was a subtle unease about Mo Hua, even…

Waryness.

He always felt that there was something enigmatic hidden behind Mo Hua’s innocent eyes, a profound depth within their clarity.

It puzzled him, the presumptive Family Head of Qian State’s Shangguan Family, with his countless encounters.

Shangguan Yi had even had the thought of seeking someone to delve deeper, to calculate Mo Hua’s karma.

But such acts were taboo, and offensive to Mo Hua.

Moreover, every time this thought emerged, he would be inexplicably filled with trepidation, as if peering into it would offend some terribly formidable taboo…
