The Quest for Immortality

Demon Monsters surged like a tide, coming in waves without end.

The aura of Evil Spirits was also ceaselessly emanating.

The chill within the room piled up layer upon layer, rich with numerous variations—be it violent, tricky, sinister, or majestic—as if the types of Evil Spirits were also endless, and their offensive onslaught resembled the ocean itself.

In such a raging sea of Demon Monsters, Mo Hua’s tiny body remained unmoved.

Wenren Wei’s gaze was filled with anxiety, his palms already sweating coldly.

He was worried for Mo Hua, and for Yu Er as well.

After an unknown amount of time, just when Wenren Wei was extremely anxious, all the aberrant auras suddenly vanished.

The inexplicable chill receded, the gloomy pressure abruptly lightened, and Wenren Wei looked around once more; although he still saw nothing, he felt as if all the Evil Spirits no longer existed.

Wenren Wei immediately looked towards the inner chamber and saw that Mo Hua had already opened his eyes.

The Divine Authority Tree ceased its drumming, and the army of Demon Monsters was devoured to near extinction.

Mo Hua took a slow breath, his eyes brightening.

Wenren Wei cautiously glanced at Mo Hua, seeing his gaze was clear and righteous, his expression normal with no trace of strangeness or madness, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still tentatively asked:

”Young Master, are you...”

Mo Hua brightened with a radiant smile, ”I’m fine.”

Wenren Wei felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and he bowed respectfully:

”Thank you for your efforts, Young Master.”

Mo Hua, who was not one for formalities, nodded and said:

”Yu Er is fine now, and it’s getting late; I should go back to rest.”

Wenren Wei paid his respects to Mo Hua once again.

Compared to before, his attitude was much more reverent.

”Many thanks, Young Master Mo!”

Mo Hua also politely returned the gesture, then got up and left with light steps.

After Mo Hua left, Wenren Wei lifted his head to survey the walls of the room, feeling shaken.

Truly... there was nothing left.

It was as if all the previous oppressive gloom and Evil aura had been merely an illusion in a fleeting moment.

Wenren Wei then looked at Yu Er.

Yu Er was still lying in bed, breathing gently, mouth slightly open, occasionally smacking her lips as if eating something in her dreams.

Throughout it all, she slept soundly and sweetly.

Remembering Wenren Wan’s words, Wenren Wei’s gaze filled with relief and he couldn’t help but sigh:

”Miss Wan was right, young master Yu Er, he truly has met a noble benefactor...”

...

Elsewhere, as soon as Mo Hua returned to his room, he immediately sat on the bed to meditate, his Divine Sense delving into the Sea of Consciousness.

After a ”feast,” having ”swallowed” too many Demon Monsters, his Sea of Consciousness was bloated, and he urgently needed to ”digest” them.

Furthermore, his Divine Sense Realm could not be contained anymore.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, with focused concentration, Mo Hua began to re-refine the numerous Evil Thoughts swallowed in haste without digestion, purifying them, taking their essence while discarding the impurities, and then absorbing them one by one to strengthen himself.

Threads of refined Divine Thoughts merged into the embodiment of Mo Hua’s Divine Thought.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense ascended rapidly.

In just a moment, after purification, the Telekinesis of the Demon Monsters filled the rifts within the Divine Sense Realm, breaking through the bottleneck that had been held back for a long time.

Like a river bursting its banks, it surged powerfully, unstoppable.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense finally took another step forward, breaking through the bottleneck between the sixteen Patterns of the Foundation Building Middle Stage to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, successfully advancing to Seventeen Patterns!

Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivation, Seventeen Patterns Foundation Establishment Late Stage Divine Sense!

At that instant, Divine Thought became unimpeded.

Mo Hua felt as if his Sea of Consciousness had expanded even further, his Divine Sense growing deeper and more profound.

The distance that Divine Sense could reach externally had also significantly increased.

With the Divine Sense Realm as the foundation and the quantity of Divine Sense for support, his Calculation and Tricky Calculations also became more effortless than before.

More importantly, it was about the Formation!

He could finally learn Seventeen Patterns Formation now!

Foundation Establishment Early Stage, learning High-level Second Grade Formation!

Although it’s only Second Grade Seventeen Patterns Formation and hasn’t reached Nineteen Patterns, not truly ”High-Rank.”

But at least it’s an entry into the High-Rank Formation.

Seventeen Patterns Formation, even when facing ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators, still possesses impressive killing power.

Mo Hua felt his backbone had stiffened considerably.

As long as he gets the chance to set up Formation, even Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators would find themselves in trouble!

However, the matter of Formation must be put aside for now.

Because Mo Hua found that this round of ”takeout” was not yet fully consumed.

The number of Demon Monsters he ”ate” this time was even more than he had expected.

His Divine Sense had already reached Seventeen Patterns, even slightly stronger than that.

But still, the purified Telekinesis of the Demon Monsters kept coming, one after another integrating into the incarnation of his Divine Thought.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense continued to grow...

”Could it be... it’ll proceed directly to Eighteen Patterns?”

The bottleneck from Seventeen to Eighteen Patterns is a minor one, not as significant as from Sixteen to Seventeen Patterns.

Mo Hua’s heart quivered, and then he couldn’t help but wear a smile of anticipation.

Eighteen Patterns!

Ascending two grades in one step!

Mo Hua was elated, and then immediately calmed his emotions to continue sitting in meditation, absorbing Telekinesis, enhancing Divine Sense.

As he desired, his Divine Sense visibly and gradually grew stronger step by step.

Finally, he was just a hair’s breadth from reaching the Eighteen Patterns Realm...

Even more, Mo Hua could clearly sense the bottleneck of the Eighteen Patterns Divine Sense breaking and disintegrating bit by bit...

A smile bloomed on Mo Hua’s face.

But just at that moment, everything came to an abrupt halt.

In the unknown, something seemed to tremble slightly.

This feeling was somewhat similar to the Taoist Stele, it was like...

Heavenly Dao?

Mo Hua was startled in his heart, and then vaguely felt as though some supreme will glanced over him from among the myriad things of heaven and earth, took a glimpse at him, and found that he seemed...
