The Quest for Immortality

”This Concealment Technique is truly absurd, I almost didn’t catch it...”

Elder Yi sighed inwardly, and without giving Mo Hua a chance to breathe, he employed the Six Harmonies Footwork to further close in on Mo Hua.

Mo Hua’s Spiritual Power was nearly depleted.

But he wasn’t willing to concede so easily, treating it as a ”life and death” combat, he continued to engage Elder Yi with all his might.

However, he truly had exhausted all his tricks.

The Water Passing Step, Water Shadow Illusion, and Concealment Technique were all used, exposing all his life-saving cards to Elder Yi.

In front of Elder Yi, who hailed from a family of Spells, it was hard to conceal any used movement technique a second time.

Moreover, there was a great realm gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.

Elder Yi was a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator; despite suppressing his cultivation, his vision, knowledge, and experience remained intact.

This time, Mo Hua simply couldn’t pull off any surprises.

His Water Passing Step was seen through by Elder Yi; even the Water Shadow Illusion was easily discerned by Elder Yi. Even if he borrowed the Concealment Technique afterward, under precaution, it couldn’t escape Elder Yi’s Divine Sense.

Almost at the instant Mo Hua concealed himself, Elder Yi flashed and appeared behind Mo Hua, gripped his shoulder gently, signifying the end.

Mo Hua straightforwardly said, ”I concede!”

Elder Yi breathed a sigh of relief, simultaneously wiping a cold sweat from his heart.

Fortunately, he caught him; otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.

As a Golden Core, if he couldn’t catch a Foundation Establishment like Mo Hua, he couldn’t continue his role as an Elder of Daoist Law without losing face.

Of course, this was all internal.

Outwardly, he still said, ”You need more practice.”

Mo Hua panted heavily, admiringly said, ”Elder Yi, your movement technique is truly formidable.”

All this time, Elder Yi was the first to put such pressure on him during a sparring match involving movement techniques.

Even after exhausting all his cards, he still got caught.

Of course, it was precisely because it was a ”sparring” that he got caught.

In reality, if he encountered a Golden Core intending to kill him, he would have run long ago, never giving such a ”sparring” opportunity.

Elder Yi was ”praised,” yet felt somewhat uneasy at heart.

He furrowed his brows.

Previously during the spar, he had no time to think much, but upon reflecting carefully now, a shiver ran through his heart.

He finally figured out why Mo Hua was so troublesome. .

This kid wasn’t using just one movement technique.

He was switching between two types of movement techniques and one Concealment Technique.

Utilizing a strong Divine Sense, accelerating with the intricate Water Passing Step, the peculiar Water Shadow Step, and the quiet Concealment Technique, effectively using three techniques seamlessly. It felt like one complete spell. ṝ𝘢ƝőᛒЕȿ

Elder Yi felt a chill in his heart.

This required a terrifyingly strong and micro-controlled Divine Sense, incredibly mastered movement techniques, and exceedingly rich combat experience to achieve this level.

Elder Yi couldn’t help but worry: This kid is only at Foundation Establishment and already mastered such techniques; if he reaches Golden Core, could I really catch him?

How coincidentally, Mo Hua said, ”Elder Yi, next time I’ll seek you out for movement technique practice again!”

Elder Yi couldn’t help but shudder slightly, a touch of insecurity, he coughed, ”Sure, sure, but... I’m quite busy, might not always have time.”

”I see...” Mo Hua looked a bit disappointed.

Mo Hua’s disappointed expression caught Elder Yi’s eye, immediately making him feel guilty and a bit uneasy.

”Mo Hua’s desire to refine his movement techniques is commendable, how could I let trivial matters of face delay his cultivation?”

”In light of the disciple’s progress, is the Elder’s dignity really that important?”

”Besides, is Mo Hua just any ordinary disciple? What’s his status in Taixu Gate? How many Elders would be eager to spar with him!”

”Him seeking me for movement technique practice is taking our old friendship into account; others would kill for such an opportunity...”

Elder Yi promptly said, ”Ah, I misspoke. I actually have a lot of free time lately, so whenever you wish to practice your movement techniques, feel free to come find me.”

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, ”Really?”

Elder Yi nodded repeatedly, ”Really, really.”

Mo Hua smiled, ”Thank you, Elder Yi.”

Seeing Mo Hua’s smile, Elder Yi felt his mood lift significantly.

”Your movement technique is quite impressive, but there are certain details that need optimization, such as your Water Passing Step and your...” Elder Yi paused.

”Water Shadow Step,” Mo Hua said.

He didn’t call it the Water Shadow Illusion, only the Water Shadow Step. While rare, it’s not that confidential.

Water Shadow Step?

Elder Yi was slightly perplexed, feeling that the Water Shadow Step in his memory differed somewhat from Mo Hua’s exhibition, but didn’t inquire further.

Mo Hua said it, so it was.

”And your Water Shadow Step, when connecting, the Spiritual Power still has some blockage. This is an issue with the acupoint during the Spiritual Power’s circulation; you can adjust it based on the mental method...” Elder Yi said.

”How to adjust?” Mo Hua humbly sought guidance.

Elder Yi pondered, ”For instance, when using the Water Passing Step, in the final move, circulate the Spiritual Power to the Water Spring Acupoint at your foot.”

”Thereafter, when connecting... with the Water Shadow Step, find a section in which the ’Water Spring Acupoint’ serves as the starting point of Spiritual Power Cycle from the Water Shadow Step.”

”In this way, the Spiritual Power at the end of the Water Passing Step halts at the Water Spring Acupoint, which conveniently serves as the start for the Water Shadow Step, allowing Spiritual Power to flow seamlessly, thus enabling swifter movement technique transitions, achieving effortless switching.”

”This is the rise and fall of Spiritual Power’s transitions.”
