The Quest for Immortality

”But...” a disciple said, ”sword contest and monster hunting are still different, right...”

Monster Beasts are tough and strong, but their habits are fixed.

Cultivators are different, they are flexible and unpredictable, with more scheming minds.

One is a battle against beasts, the other is against people, the strategies for these two types of combat are entirely different.

Mo Hua confidently said: ”Don’t worry, I’ve thought it all through. When the time comes, follow my instructions, unify the formation, equip with formation, adapt with Spiritual Artifact, and strengthen tactics.”

”You just see yourselves as Taoist Soldiers, do not fear, be focused, just follow orders. Winning is certainly good, losing doesn’t matter. It’s a sword contest, no one will die.”

After Mo Hua’s guidance, everyone’s eyes involuntarily began to shine.

Seeing their newfound determination, Mo Hua spoke with some enthusiasm:

”All sect disciples at the Qian Learning State Boundary have only one chance to participate in the sword contest in their lifetime. I don’t believe you truly want to give up this opportunity.”

”Since you don’t wish to give up, then go fight for once.”

”The Qianxue State Boundary has many prestigious sects, indeed filled with prodigies and countless experts.”

”But no matter how great their talent, cultivation, or strength, these prodigies are merely humans, no more noble than you.”

”Under the Heavenly Dao, all beings are but hay dogs.”

”Since we are all hay dogs, who is nobler than whom?”

”On the long road of the Great Dao, a cultivator’s life is filled with countless challenges and hardships.”

”Do not lose the spirit of forging ahead, nor the courage to draw the sword against the strong.”

”Moreover, this is a sword contest, losing means nothing, winning is a huge gain!”

”Even if faced with the prodigies of the Four Great Sects, do whatever it takes to take a bite of flesh from them!”

These words resonated powerfully.

The disciples felt a surge of passion.

Some felt ambition stir within their hearts, their eyes reddened.

Mo Hua waited for them to calm down a bit, then said solemnly: ”And the most important point...”

He looked at them, slowly said:

”This sword contest, we will inevitably face ’encirclement’ from the Four Great Sects and other sects, the process will undoubtedly be difficult, yet... do not forget... this is a sword contest for sect ranking transformation!”

”In other words, this sword contest can decide the ranking of sects!”

”If we truly can surpass the Four Great Sects, then our Taixu Gate will be among the Four Great Sects!”

Mo Hua looked around, spoke deliberately:

”Imagine... when we entered, we were disciples of the Eight Great Gates. But upon graduation, we become top prodigies of the Four Great Sects in Qianxue State Boundary!”

All disciples were stunned.

Disciples of the Qianxue Four Great Sects!!

This was something they hadn’t considered before.

Not that they hadn’t thought of it, but simply didn’t dare to entertain such a thought.

What kind of sects are the Four Great Sects, how easy is it to cross their threshold?

Where in the world is such good fortune?

But with Mo Hua’s words, the hidden ’ambition’ in their hearts started to flourish like wild grass in a spring breeze.

Mo Hua’s tone was sharp: ”To put it bluntly, with our qualifications, we really aren’t worthy of joining the Four Great Sects...”

”Since we can’t join the Four Great Sects...”

Mo Hua’s tone was clear and steady, his gaze sparkling like stars, ”then we work hard to transform our sect into the Four Great Sects!”

This sentence was like a morning bell and evening drum, greatly stirring their hearts.

The surrounding Taixu Gate disciples felt a tightness in their chests, and then, an endless fighting spirit, like a raging fire, burst forth from their chest. .

Relying on our efforts, transform the sect into the Four Great Sects!

Not only these disciples, but at this moment, some Taixu Sect Elders eavesdropping from afar were also stunned.

Their hearts were pounding.

Mo Hua’s words were equally applicable to them.

To put it bluntly, they too were not qualified to enter the Four Great Sects.

Some are held back by family, background, insufficient cultivation, incompetence, unable to cross the threshold of the Four Great Sects.

Others are stuck as Taixu Gate Elders for generations because their family is bound to the Taixu Gate.

No matter how high their cultivation, if they have a shred of honor, it is impossible for them to betray their family and join the Four Great Sects.

They will never have the title ”Four Great Sects Elder” in their lifetime.

But Mo Hua is right.

If Taixu Gate becomes one of the Four Great Sects...

Then these elders, originally part of the Eight Great Gates, can instantly upgrade right away, and transform into elders of the Four Great Sects!

This truly is... such a great fortune beyond even a miracle!

The elders of Taixu Gate looked at each other, showing disbelief.

Further away, in the pavilion.

The Taixu Sect Master was also lost in thought for a moment.

He was actually eavesdropping.

After all, with Mo Hua suddenly gathering so many disciples, not only the elders felt uneasy, but he, as the Sect Leader, had to keep an eye as well, just in case any incident occurred.

Thus, he heard all of Mo Hua’s words.

The Taixu Sect Master was dazed for a moment, sighing internally:

Mo Hua, this child, his speech is extraordinary, as eloquent as lotus blossoming on his tongue, even as a Sect Leader in the Feather Transformation Realm, I am somewhat stirred by his words.

After all, if Taixu Gate indeed becomes one of the Four Great Sects.

I, as the Taixu Sect Master, would then become the Sect Master of the Four Great Sects.

This is truly unexpected, ascending in one leap.

Of course, he knew Mo Hua’s words were merely pleasant to hear, true realization is not easy.

If the position of the Four Great Sects was so easy to compete for, would it still be the Four Great Sects?
