The Quest for Immortality

The black of Tricky Calculation, the white of Calculation, and the gold of deity intertwined and merged in his eyes, becoming one.

All the evil and ghosts lurking indoors had nowhere to hide.

The patterns of Heavenly secret emerged, half filthy and half bloody. The intertwining of black and red, like chains of sin, evolved from the void.

At first glance, these patterns looked like chains.

Now, upon another look, they resembled more the branches of a tree imbued with strange and perverse Laws.

Divine Authority Tree!

Moreover, the patterns of causality this time were even clearer and more real, clearly involving a more revered divine authority than before.

Thus, the summoned Demon Monsters were also stronger.

The Divine Authority’s Tree of Causality, transcending the recognition of Divine Thought of ordinary Cultivators, starts branching out within the room, spreading bit by bit.

On those branches, dark liquid congeals without blossoming, ”fructifying.”

Clumps of black water, like the ”amniotic fluid” of sin, condense into embryos of Evil Demons, pulsating like hearts.

Then the embryos burst open, hatching a mix of deformed terror—Demons with human hands, cow hooves, and horse faces.

On the branches of the Divine Authority Tree, more and more Demon Monster fruits appear.

The hatched Evil Spirits grow stronger and stronger.

They are legion, twisting their limbs, inverting their heads, dangling from the ceiling, drooling their stinking saliva, staring at Yu Er with their crimson eyes, fixedly and dead.

Yu Er felt a tinge of unease, frowning slightly, muttering something in her dream.

As Mo Hua’s Divine Thought stirs, a faint light arises, protecting Yu Er within it, isolating her from the sinister atmosphere and the cold Evil Spirits.

The path into the dream was sealed by the Divine Tao Array.

The pathways of the Demon Monsters were blocked.

They roared in anger, their eyes suddenly fierce, their aura savage, and then, they all turned their gaze towards Mo Hua, who ruined their scheme.

The Evil God’s Tree descends.

A pair of blood-red eyes fixedly stared at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua’s gaze was calm, with a slight, provoking smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Come and eat me, you beasts...”

The Divine Authority Tree trembled, the Demon Monsters raged, and then, stretching their claws, they turned into thick black and red evil smoke, surging forward to Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness, one after another.

...

Meanwhile.

Within a majestic and vast Great Sect in the Qianxue State Boundary, resembling a white jade palace from the heavens, replete with starry pavilions.

Mr. Tu, garbed in human skin and with the appearance of a scholarly and gentle Confucian, was meditating and resting, when he suddenly awoke with a start.

His expression horrified, ”Who... has invoked the Divine Lord’s authority?!”

”How is this possible?!”

Mr. Tu was filled with disbelief.

And in the Taixu Gate’s Back Hill Forbidden Area.

At the very moment when numerous Demon Monsters and Evil Spirits appeared, an elder with a long beard, sitting in meditation in the Sword Tomb and heavily sealed by layers of Formations, abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of cold light within.

”Evil spawn...”

No...

His gaze widened, filled with rage, his teeth coldly chattering, ”Evil... God?!”

He sensed the authority of the Evil God...

Clearer, stronger, more malevolent than ever, and closer to the origin of the Divine Authority Tree, has descended upon Taixu Gate!

When the Evil Spirits previously attacked, he slashed with one Sword, cutting down a Taoist Demon and paying a price. Since then, he remained wary.

After a period of calm from the Evil Spirits, with some occasional minor ghosts emerging, he simply watched silently, refraining from taking action.

But unexpectedly, in Taixu Gate’s Mountain Gate today, he sensed the presence of the Evil God’s Sinful Authority Tree!

This is the Evil God, blatantly commanding legions of demons to invade Taixu Gate.

What outrageous audacity!

How the world of the grand Qian State has declined!

The Taixu Gate, with its technique of Divine Thought into Sword, couldn’t even seal it properly for a few hundred years, and now an Evil God dares to emerge so brazenly to trespass our Mountain Gate?!

The elder’s eyes, filled with Sword Intent, were filled with murderous air, and all the Sword Weapons in the vast Sword Tomb trembled slightly, their Sword Qi reaching the heavens.

”Even if my lifespan is diminished, and my foundation is not solid, today I must cut down this Sinful Authority Tree...”

The elder’s rising Sword Intent suddenly halted.

He paused, slightly puzzled.

Because the presence of the Evil Spirits had already disappeared.

In but a moment’s time, all had vanished, as if they never existed...

The elder with the long beard slowly put down the broken sword in his hand, but before completely setting it down, the Divine Authority Tree spread out again, and the presence of Evil Spirits returned.

Just as the old man was about to grow angry, all the evil aura disappeared once more.

As if inside Taixu Gate, a great abyssal mouth swallowed up some Demon Monsters and Evil Spirits entirely...

The long-bearded elder sat silently for a long while, sharp eyes flashing with shock and confusion, and a trace of disbelief.

”What exactly did I nurture within my Taixu Gate...”

...

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, inhaling all the Demon Monsters which had just been slain and then refined into white smoke.

Mo Hua smacked his lips, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

This was already the second round.

Although they were just ordinary Demon Monsters, as ”appetizers” to fill the stomach, they weren’t bad.

And after eating two rounds, Mo Hua clearly felt his Divine Sense progressing towards the Realm of Seventeen Patterns.

”Just a little more!”

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened, elated.

Soon, the next round arrived.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, evil energy converged, dark waters filled the space, and from within the Evil Thoughts, two Demon Monsters with sheep horns and pitch-black bodies hatched.

These were two Sheep-Horned Enforcers.

The Sheep-Horned Enforcers, within the hierarchy of demons under the Evil God, obviously held a higher status.

Arrogant in demeanor, they sneered as soon as they appeared.

But before they could even speak, Mo Hua grasped their sheep horns, pressed them to the ground, and with a flash of Golden Light and a swift slash of the Sword, beheaded the sheep heads.
