The Quest for Immortality

The only one who was somewhat unharmed was Elder Bear.

He had just lost one hand.

As a demon cultivator, his blood qi healed quickly, so his physical injuries weren’t that severe.

Elder Bear thought for a moment and stood before Young Master Xuan.

He was tall and intimidating, his body half-covered in bear patterns and half in snake patterns, with an overwhelming aura from the tangled demonic power.

Master Gu and Fan Jin felt immense pressure, a tingling sensation on their scalps.

A seriously wounded late Golden Core stage demon cultivator was not someone they could deal with, and they could only grit their teeth, tighten their grip on their magic treasures, and do their best.

At this moment, Mo Hua sneered and said to this Bear Demon Cultivator:

”Fool, you’re being deceived and you don’t even know it.”

Elder Bear was enraged at being called a ”fool” by this Foundation Building cultivator, Mo Hua, but he managed to stay rational and asked coldly: ”What are you talking about?”

Mo Hua said, ”He already said, things like the Dragon Vein are useless without the bloodline of the Great Wilderness royalty.”

”If you take the Dragon Vein, you’ll have to give it to him; if he goes back on his word, there’s nothing you can do.”

”If he goes back on his word, I’ll kill him,” Elder Bear said coldly.

Mo Hua sneered, ”He is a direct descendant of the Mystic Demon Sect, protected by the ancestor. If you kill him, you’ll face the pursuit of the Mystic Demon Sect in the future, have you really thought it through?”

Elder Bear remained silent.

Mo Hua continued, ”Moreover, there is one more thing...”

”Just now he personally said he used blood poison to plant a devil in your Taoist Heart, so you absolutely can’t trust his words.”

”Because with the planting of the devil in your Taoist Heart, he can alter your perception, making you think that everything he says is true and trustworthy.”

”Naturally, you will follow his orders without any doubt.”

”Reflect on this carefully, ask yourself sincerely, and think about whether it’s true...”

Mo Hua spoke with a hint of eeriness, guiding him patiently.

Young Master Xuan, angry in his heart, sneered coldly, ”You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?”

”Don’t interrupt me,” Mo Hua said, ”otherwise it just proves you’re guilty.”

”You...” Young Master Xuan faltered.

Elder Bear frowned, reflecting internally, feeling that Mo Hua’s words seemed... somewhat reasonable.

This Young Master Xuan, since he had planted a devil in his Taoist Heart, naturally couldn’t be trusted.

But... .

Elder Bear glanced at Mo Hua, suspicion in his eyes, and said:

”Young Master Xuan’s words can’t be trusted, but you, young one, are equally slick, and I can’t possibly trust you more.”

”Moreover, you are a disciple of Taixu Gate, the same sect as that Xun guy.”

”I bear a hundred grievances and blood feuds against Taixu Gate. Sooner or later, I will kill those of Taixu Gate.”

Mo Hua looked confused, ”What’s your grudge with Taixu Gate got to do with me, a small Foundation Building disciple?”

”I’m just at the Foundation Building Realm, what enmity do I have with you?”

Elder Bear was taken aback.

This made sense...

The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was eradicated by that Xun Sword Cultivation Elder leading a group of Golden Core cultivators.

The Mystic Demon Sect at Yanluo Mountain was also first attacked by Xun Ziyou, who joined forces with the Court Official to surround them.

This was a decision by the upper echelons of Taixu Gate, carried out by the core group of Golden Core Elders.

As for ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples, who were learning in the sect every day, they were unrelated to these events and were merely caught up in the disaster...

Elder Bear nodded slightly.

But he couldn’t possibly think that the instigator of the grudges and conflicts at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and Yanluo Mountain, was this innocent-looking but sly little Taixu Gate disciple in front of him.

Mo Hua noticed Elder Bear’s defenses start to waver and immediately said:

”There are priorities, and the grudge between you and Taixu Gate can be settled later. The urgent matter is to gain some benefit and obtain what you truly want.”

Elder Bear frowned, ”Do you know what I want?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”You want the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Map, and I can help you.”

”You help me?” Elder Bear sneered.

Mo Hua pointed to the monster patterns on his body and said:

”To enhance your demonic power, you forcefully stitched two sets of powerful monster patterns together.”

”As a result, the combination of boa and bear produced a powerful demonic force, but in essence, these two formations are fragmented, placing a tremendous burden on your physical body.”

”Therefore, you need the Dragon Pattern to suppress these two types of monster patterns, transitioning from boa to flood dragon, and from flood dragon to dragon...”

”This is not simple, without a Formation Master adept in the Four Symbols Formation aiding you, forget transforming from flood dragon to dragon, you can’t even resolve the conflict between the boa pattern and bear pattern.”

Elder Bear was shocked, ”You also understand the Four Symbols Formation?”

Mo Hua modestly said, ”More or less, I know a bit.”

Elder Bear pondered for a moment, shaking his head, ”Impossible, how could you possibly understand the Four Symbols Formation...”

He knew some origins of the Four Symbols Formation, and knew that it was not something outsiders could easily learn.

Mo Hua thought for a brief moment and then said, ”On your back, at the Dachui acupoint, Fengmen acupoint, Xinshu acupoint, do you frequently experience sharp pain?”

Elder Bear’s expression changed.

Mo Hua hit the nail on the head, ”This is because you don’t understand formations and forced the fusion of the boa pattern formation with the bear pattern formation, resulting in displacement of the formation pivot and conflicts in the formation patterns.”

Elder Bear’s eyelid twitched, knowing that this young disciple in front of him really had some skills, and he gradually stopped doubting.

Young Master Xuan, having waited long enough, finally spoke up: ”Elder Bear, don’t be deceived by this kid.”

Mo Hua said, ”You’re the one deceiving people, at least I don’t plant devils in people’s Taoist Hearts; I always speak the truth.”

Mo Hua spoke assertively and confidently.

Young Master Xuan, at a loss for words, couldn’t argue with Mo Hua.

Elder Bear glanced at the deep-thinking Young Master Xuan and then at the upright-faced Mo Hua. After weighing the pros and cons, he silently turned around and stood in front of Mo Hua again.
