The Quest for Immortality

Now that person’s heavenly secret is cut off, the Back Ruins Heaven Burial has appeared in the world, yet secretly left an unassuming little disciple, and by chance, joined the Taixu Gate...

Could there be some deeper meaning within this?

Elder Master Xun was filled with thoughts.

After a moment, Mo Hua raised his head, eyes full of expectation, and asked softly: ”Old gentleman, this manuscript...”

”You keep it.” Elder Master Xun said gently, ”It was meant for you, hold onto it well, and read it often.”

Mo Hua gripped the manuscript tightly, and said gratefully: ”Thank you, old gentleman!”

Elder Master Xun smiled slightly, patted Mo Hua on the shoulder, and said: ”Alright, go back, you still have class in the afternoon.”

”Mm.”

Mo Hua nodded, and after bowing respectfully to Elder Master Xun, took his leave, his departing figure appearing somewhat lonely.

Elder Master Xun sighed.

Within that thin and frail body may carry a terrifying great karmic cause...

Some things he did not point out, but he kept them in mind, letting nature take its course.

The important thing, there’s only one.

That is, Mo Hua.

Regardless of what karmic cause he carries, now he is wearing the Taoist robe of the Taixu Gate, he is a disciple of the Taixu Gate.

And in the future, he must always be a disciple of the Taixu Gate!

Elder Master Xun’s eyes sharpened, a glint of sharpness flashed, and he called out: ”Bring Ziyou here.”

After a while, Xun Ziyou came to see Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun instructed: ”Take good care of this child, Mo Hua.”

Xun Ziyou was stunned, ”This, haven’t you instructed before...”

”This time it’s different,” Elder Master Xun said blandly, ”before I told you, you can lose an arm, but he cannot lose a strand of hair, was to urge you to handle things well.”

”Now it’s different, now this sentence is the truth.”

Xun Ziyou: ”...”

He was dumbfounded for a long time, then frowned slightly and weakly said: ”Ancestor, what exactly is the identity of this child, that you regard him so highly...”

”Don’t worry about it,” Elder Master Xun looked at Xun Ziyou, eyes heavy, voice low, ”All you need to know is that he is of great importance to my Taixu Gate, possibly even related to...”

Elder Master Xun paused, then slowly said:

”...the Taoist inheritance of my Taixu Gate!”

Xun Ziyou suddenly froze, a shiver ran through his heart.

Taoist inheritance?!

Xun Ziyou’s eyelid twitched, just about to say ”aren’t you exaggerating”, he is just a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even with the best talent and most special identity, it should be impossible to relate to Taixu Gate’s Taoist inheritance.

Taixu Gate is one of the Eight Great Gates of Qian State, with a profound foundation and long history.

If traced back to the time before the Three Sects split, it was nothing but a gigantic entity of Qian State.

Such a Taoist inheritance, what does it have to do with a little cultivator?

Xun Ziyou couldn’t understand no matter how he thought about it.

But he knew, the ancestor was a serious person, and never lied.

If he said it concerns the Taoist inheritance, then surely there is a deep karmic cause within.

Xun Ziyou straightened up, saluted: ”Ancestor, I understand.”

Elder Master Xun nodded slightly.

”Just...” Xun Ziyou thought for a bit, then said, ”This child seems to have some grudge with Sever Gold Sect, should I intervene...”

”No need.” Elder Master Xun shook his head, ”I told you to look after him, not to blindly shield him.”

”He must not be harmed, but aside from that, whether it’s Sever Gold Sect or other sects, let disciples’ matters be settled by themselves, and no need to interfere too much.”

Xun Ziyou understood the ancestor’s meaning, and asked, ”What if it’s the high-ranking members of Sever Gold Sect...”

Elder Master Xun said: ”Do not fear, I will handle everything.”

Xun Ziyou let out a long breath in relief.

The ancestor has spoken, giving him much more confidence.

”Go,” Elder Master Xun waved his hand, ”Do not be careless, if something unexpected really happens...”

Elder Master Xun thought for a moment, then, to urge him, said a harsher word, ”I will remove you from the family genealogical record...”

Xun Ziyou’s scalp went numb, and he was dumbfounded.

This joke, can it really be made casually?!

”Ancestor, are you serious...”

Elder Master Xun silently looked at him.

Xun Ziyou wisely, with a bitter expression, resignedly said:

”Yes.”

After leaving the Elder’s Residence, Xun Ziyou let out a long sigh.

He had a premonition that this temporary ”bodyguard” role might turn ”permanent” as a long-term bodyguard.

In the future, life may not be peaceful...

...

In the afternoon after class, Mo Hua, together with Yu Er, finished eating and returned to the Disciple’s Residence.

Upon entering the house, Mo Hua took out all the manuscripts given by Elder Master Xun.

Especially the manuscript related to the ”Formation Flow.”

Mo Hua carefully, completely read through this manuscript, his expression somewhat desolate.

This was indeed the master’s manuscript.

Although there were some discrepancies, it was uncannily similar to the ”Formation Flow” insights passed to him by his master back in Li Mountain City at the Five Elements Sect.

Mr. Zhuang’s celestial demeanor, carefree and uninhibited, yet gentle as water’s expression, reappeared in Mo Hua’s mind.

Mo Hua was lost in thought for a long time before heaving a deep sigh.

He read through the manuscript again.

This was a manuscript on the Dao.

Inside, the explanation about the ”Formation Flow” was more detailed, more comprehensive than what his master had told him, and more profound.

Mo Hua looked at it and realized he couldn’t quite understand it.

Strictly speaking, he hasn’t learned Formation Flow yet.

The Taoist inheritance of the Five Elements Sect, that piece of ”Source Pattern” manifested by the Five Elements Formation Flow, though in his hands, but he actually doesn’t know, that sinister eye-like ”Source Pattern”, in essence, what exactly it is...

And those who can summarize Formation Flow, no doubt are Formation Masters who have cultivated a certain type of formation to great success.

So it is no wonder he couldn’t understand this Formation Flow manuscript.

”I’ll keep it first, and when my formation skills are higher, I’ll study it carefully...”
