The Quest for Immortality

The unification of the Three Sects has become a foregone conclusion, but due to the massive scale, specific measures still need to be implemented step by step.

The fusion between Sects must also proceed gradually.

Initially, it was just Elders teaching each other.

Afterwards, Disciples visited one another to enhance cultural exchange.

Disciples from Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect visited Taixu Gate for sightseeing and Dao discussion.

Moreover, Disciples from Taixu Gate could visit Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect without any hindrance.

Mo Hua naturally went along as well.

Though Elder Master Xun advised him to avoid leaving Taixu Gate to prevent standing out too much.

Now with the unification of the Three Sects, Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect should strictly count as ’Taixu Gate’, so technically speaking, visiting these two Sects doesn’t count as leaving Taixu Gate.

Moreover, Mo Hua had never entered Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect before, only occasionally passing by for a glance.

He was eager to see the scenery within these two Sects.

Thus, Mo Hua accompanied the Disciples from Taixu Gate and toured the two mountains of Tai’a Chongxu.

Only after this tour did he realize that regardless of whether it was Tai’a Sect or Rushing Void Sect, they both seemed somewhat larger than Taixu Gate.

Especially Tai’a Sect, towering and majestic, the mountains resembled an Azure Dragon, with extraordinary grandeur.

Rushing Void Sect wasn’t as grand, but tall towers stood abound, cloud eaves peaked like ridges, green porcelain and glazed tiles paved the roofs, Sword Qi entered the mist and clouds, presenting a magnificent spectacle.

Along with the antique charm of Taixu Gate.

The Three Sects inherited the same lineage but each had their own distinctive characteristics.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

He even couldn’t help but ponder, divided into Three Sects, they were still capable of having such a foundation and all could rank among the Eight Great Gates.

The Ancient Sect before the division into Three Sects, what kind of grandeur must it have possessed?

It was likely a colossal force that was enough to make the Taoist Court apprehensive...

Mo Hua thought with yearnings in his heart.

Thus, he toured the Mountain Gate while pondering in his heart.

During that time, Mo Hua also encountered Ling Huxiao and Ouyang Mu.

The two were not averse to the unification of the Three Sects.

Due to Mo Hua’s connections, Ling Huxiao and company were already quite familiar with the Disciples from Taixu Gate, more so than their own Sect’s Disciples. 𝘳ᴀɴȰ₿ĘＳ

Additionally, Mo Hua, regarded as Taixu Gate’s ’Junior Brother’, had saved their lives in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. The three shared a life-and-death friendship.

Once the Sects were unified, they would be able to follow Mo Hua more openly in the future.

Mo Hua was naturally delighted.

The few of them exchanged greetings and chatted for a long time together.

After chatting, Mo Hua strolled around again. Just when he was about to leave Tai’a Sect and return to Taixu Mountain, he ran into Ouyang Feng.

The two naturally chatted for a while again.

After a brief conversation, and having learned some information from Ouyang Feng, Mo Hua asked in surprise:

”Senior Brother Feng, are you going to leave the mountain for a journey?”

Ouyang Feng nodded, somewhat ashamed, ”In the Sword Discussion Conference, I failed to maintain the ranking of the Eight Great Gates for Tai’a Sect, and I feel ashamed for letting down my teacher’s expectations.”

Mo Hua shook his head and said, ”How can you be blamed, Senior Brother Feng?”

A single fence needs three posts, a single hero requires three helpers.

Debating Sword is different from Array Competition, it’s not something that one person can single-handedly overturn.

In the Rouge Boat incident, Tai’a Sect nearly lost most of its elite Disciples and had to face the siege from the Four Great Sects, in such a desperate situation, Senior Brother Feng, even if he bet his life on it, would be of no avail.

In any case, it was an unavoidable situation.

Moreover, Senior Brother Feng himself didn’t follow the path of extreme aggression.

His cultivation is profound, steady, and reliable, with comprehensive abilities.

He can attack and defend, advance and retreat, he can assist in containment, or be responsible for cover, advance to act as vanguard, or retreat to guard the rear.

Although he isn’t outstanding in any aspect, not the most top-notch, he is a ’versatile’ teammate who can handle various situations and fill any gap.

Precisely because of this, he relies more on suitable teammates.

He needs a suitable tea lineup and a specially tailored tactic to fully utilize Senior Brother Feng’s specialty.

Unfortunately, Tai’a Sect lost its elite Disciples, lacking those conditions.

The result is apparent, in the Sword Discussion Conference, Senior Brother Feng had to both lead the attack and lead the defense by himself, and it was naturally difficult to do everything well.

Mo Hua felt regretful in his heart.

If Senior Brother Feng followed me in, no, if he teamed up with me in the Sword Discussion Conference.

If I used my Formations, I could have enhanced all his abilities a notch, and then had some teammates to help, he would have become a ’hexagonal’ warrior, absolutely able to compete with the top talents of the Four Great Sects.

But alas...

The unification of the Three Sects happened too late.

Moreover, Senior Brother Feng is a year ahead of me, and cannot be grouped in the same team.

Mo Hua felt great regret in his heart.

”Senior Brother Feng, are you leaving the mountain now?”

Ouyang Feng shook his head, ”In a while, there’s still some matters to handle, but...”

He glanced at Mo Hua again and sincerely praised:

”I never thought that you could surpass the Four Great Sects to win the title of Array Leader. I often thought I knew you, Junior Brother Mo, as outstanding, but never imagined you to be even more incredible than I expected...”

Mo Hua felt a bit embarrassed by the praise, waving his hands repeatedly, modestly saying:

”Just lucky, just by chance, it’s nothing special.”

Ouyang Feng chuckled.

He pondered for a moment, then exhaled deeply, sighing: ”Yes, there’s always someone better, limited by Qianxue, one’s vision and knowledge are never broadened enough.”

”It’s also time for me to practice and witness this vast world.”
