The Quest for Immortality

The evil ghosts kept tearing and attacking.

In their hearts, a chill began to set in.

Just as they were nearing despair, the surrounding evil ghosts suddenly screamed and scattered like birds and beasts.

Master Gu and Fan Jin were startled, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened, then feeling relief at surviving a calamity.

But the next moment, they both realized something, and were suddenly alarmed.

The evil ghosts fed on their flesh; they couldn’t have retreated suddenly.

If they retreated, it meant there was something even more terrifying they encountered.

Something more terrifying...

Not far away, a cryptic but powerful presence mixed with an eerie pressure approached...

”Coming?!”

Their hands and feet went cold, and the heart they had just put down was instantly seized again. In shock, they turned their heads to see a child waving at them with a smile.

”Master Gu, Supervisor Fan, I found you.”

Master Gu and Supervisor Fan were dumbfounded, stunned for a long time before they slowly reacted, ”...Young Master Mo?”

”Yes.” Mo Hua nodded.

”Why do you look like this?” Supervisor Fan stuttered slightly.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, ”It’s a long story...”

Every person who met him asked the same question, and he was already tired of answering.

The truth couldn’t be told either.

He certainly couldn’t say that because he practiced ”Heaven Yan Jue,” his Divine Thought mutated, so he never grew up...

Master Gu and Supervisor Fan were perceptive enough not to ask further.

”Young Master Mo, do you know where this is...” Master Gu asked.

He was still confused about the current situation.

Mo Hua replied succinctly, ”This is the Dreamland, more precisely, a nightmare. Solitary Mountain City holds a dormant, powerful evil object, which awakened and dragged all of us into this nightmare.”

Master Gu nodded, seeming only half-understanding.

”Then, what should we do now?”

”Let’s find Elder Xun first.” Mo Hua said.

”Okay.” Master Gu and Supervisor Fan nodded.

They gradually grew accustomed to following Mo Hua’s lead.

Outside, although Mo Hua was strong, it wasn’t as visible in appearance.

But in this dream, Mo Hua seemed to have shrunk, yet his entire being exuded an incredible and powerful aura, compelling Master Gu and Supervisor Fan to submit willingly.

Thus, Mo Hua led Master Gu and Supervisor Fan deeper into the Divine Temple.

He could vaguely sense another disturbance within the temple, and after walking for a while, indeed found Elder Xun Ziyou not far away.

The situation with Elder Xun Ziyou wasn’t looking good either.

He was facing a gigantic, deformed, resentment-entwined, fierce ghost with a terrifying appearance.

Such fierce ghosts could not be dealt with by ordinary Golden Core.

Born from Taixu Gate, a Sword Dao Elder, and proficient in Sword Intent, although he hadn’t learned the orthodox Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue, relying on the pure Tai Xu Sword Intent inherited from the Taixu lineage, he was still able to contest against this Third Grade fierce ghost.

But he was clearly at a disadvantage, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

The Third Grade fierce ghost was becoming increasingly rampant.

Elder Xun Ziyou gritted his teeth to hold on, but it wasn’t likely he could endure much longer.

It was at this moment that Mo Hua and the others arrived.

Elder Xun Ziyou spotted Mo Hua and the others immediately, his heart trembled as he anxiously said:

”Don’t come over, run away!”

He feared that if he couldn’t defeat the fierce ghost and died, Mo Hua and the others would also be doomed.

At this moment, he could only try to desperately hold back the fierce ghost, allowing Mo Hua and the others a chance to escape.

But before Mo Hua and the others could react to Elder Xun Ziyou’s words, the fierce ghost trembled, dropped to the ground, tucked its tail between its legs, and fled desperately into the distance.

Elder Xun Ziyou was dumbfounded for a while, unable to understand what was happening.

He was telling Mo Hua and the others to run.

But the fierce ghost...why did it run? Like it had seen a ”ghost”... .

Mo Hua had already walked over and asked, ”Elder Xun, are you alright?”

Through the bitter battle, Elder Xun Ziyou finally slowly breathed a sigh of relief, ”I’m fine.”

No matter the reason, having fled is having fled.

He already had a vague guess that he might be trapped in a nightmare; since it was a dream, anomalies were expected.

Fortunately, it was gone.

This was a Third Grade Golden Core Realm fierce ghost; had it not left, the upcoming situation would have been life-and-death uncertain.

Elder Xun Ziyou then turned his head, scrutinized Mo Hua left and right, finding him both novel and strange, yet adorable, couldn’t help but ask:

”Why have you shrunk?”

Mo Hua sighed and replied helplessly, ”That’s just how it is in the dream.”

”Why would it be like this in a dream?” Elder Xun Ziyou was somewhat puzzled.

Mo Hua intended to make up some excuse, but he quickly realized Elder Xun wasn’t an ordinary person; he was an elder of Taixu Gate, an old acquaintance. If the issue of his Divine Thought not growing back reached Taixu Gate, he would lose face big time.

”It’s a cultivation of one’s mindset.” Mo Hua said solemnly.

”A cultivation of one’s mindset?” Elder Xun Ziyou frowned.

Mo Hua nodded seriously and said, ”Cultivators should not lose their childlike simplicity. That’s why my Divine Thought is like this.”

”Cultivators should not lose their... childlike simplicity...”

Elder Xun Ziyou repeated it, his pupils trembled, and suddenly recalled the words of Taixu Gate ancestors, his emotions surging.

He deeply looked at Mo Hua and nodded.

Mo Hua found Elder Xun’s reaction a bit odd, but didn’t think much of it at the moment.

After all, they were in the Divine Temple under the evil embryo, not a place to linger.

”Since this is a dream, how can we wake up?” Fan Jin asked.
