The Quest for Immortality

The five brothers wielded their Giant Swords together.

The five acted as one; one acted as five.

Once engaged, under the impulses of killing intent, the Giant Sword hacked and sliced like a wild whirlwind.

Coupled with their brethren’s unity, chanting Mo Hua’s phrase ”Slash anyone you see,” there truly emerged a spirit of ”Planting Devil in Taoist Heart,” with their minds undistracted, pressing forward with demonic ferocity that was unmatched by thousands.

During the sword discussion, many sect disciples were directly dumbfounded.

As soon as they met, five burly men rushed at their faces without a word, the Giant Sword slashing, swishing rapidly.

Blinded briefly, only to find themselves ”dead” and eliminated upon regaining their senses.

No room for reasoning.

As the saying goes, random swords can kill even experienced masters.

Saying they lack tactics? The five are one unit, uniform, even equipped with Spiritual Artifacts.

But to say they have tactics...

Other than ”slash,” there’s nothing else.

Once in action, it’s incredibly frustrating.

The Giant Sword sweeps with chaotic slashes overflowing haphazardly, unrestrained by rules or routines.

If one can withstand, they might fight back. If not, they’re simply defeated.

Of course, these five brothers don’t win all; they have lost quite a few times.

But with Mo Hua’s carefully selected heavy armor deflecting spells and slashes, and Spiritual Power-controlling Giant Swords, weaker teams truly stood no chance, collapsing swiftly upon a mere encounter.

Stronger teams had mixed outcomes.

Yet even strong teams must tread carefully against the Tai’a five brothers.

Otherwise, if a flaw is exploited, the relentless Giant Sword might just bewilder them.

These five brothers have simple minds.

They follow the Junior Brother’s advice—go and slash.

If they win, they win; if they lose, they lose, never dwelling on it.

Because they have no concerns or doubts, their attacks are decisive.

After dozens of sword discussions with various sect teams, the five brothers’ experience has grown increasingly rich, their swordsmanship refined step-by-step, and the Giant Sword’s lethality stronger.

So this ”Tai’a five brothers,” disregarded and unseen at the pre-event, hacked their way from the Xuan Character Bureau to the Earth Character Bureau.

Even Mo Hua was amazed.

Besides the Tai’a five brothers, most teams advancing to the Earth Character Bureau are familiar faces.

Like Yang Qianjun’s ”Taoist Soldiers Team.”

Yang Qianjun comes from an aristocratic family of Taoist Soldiers, raised on their tactics since childhood.

After the Three Sects Unification, he gathered Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu disciples from similar Taoist Soldier backgrounds, forming a true ”Taoist Soldiers Team.”

This is an authentic ”Taoist Soldiers Team,” not the prototype Mo Hua generalizes.

Everything is strictly according to the tactics, formations, and configurations of Taoist Soldiers.

Add Mo Hua’s complete formation and Spiritual Artifact supply.

Yang Qianjun’s team also advanced to the Earth Character Bureau.

The other teams consist of the elite disciples from the Three Mountains.

Even Hao Xuan’s team advanced.

His team relied entirely on movement technique, chasing and running, scavenging opportunities, winning whenever possible.

Their advancement is purely due to luck.

Even Mo Hua found it remarkable.

He even subtly felt as if previous ancestors of Taixu Gate were blessing him and Taixu Gate from the shadows.

Everyone gathered under the tree.

And tomorrow is the Earth Character sword discussion.

Mo Hua briefly planned the tactics, picked suitable formations and Spiritual Artifacts for them, then said:

”That’s the situation; for the Earth Character Bureau, do your best.”

”Winning would be great, but even if you lose, don’t be disheartened.”

”Yes, Junior Brother,” everyone nodded in agreement.

The upcoming sword discussion isn’t a problem that tactics alone can solve.

Everyone is aware of this.

Nonetheless, they are very grateful to Mo Hua.

Without Mo Hua, they might not have endured to the Earth Character sword discussion.

Especially the Tai’a five brothers, who sincerely admire and appreciate Mo Hua, their Junior Brother.

Without Mo Hua’s guidance, without his supply of formations and Spiritual Artifacts, they wouldn’t be able to slash their way from the Xuan Character Bureau.

Now they’ve made a mark in the Sword Discussion Conference, even if it’s just reaching the Earth Character Bureau.

It’ll be enough for the elders on Taia Mountain to see them differently.

Even some stern elders in the Ouyang family might greet them with smiles.

The weak will be ignored.

Yet once showing strength or potential, it earns more goodwill.

Though the five brothers seem simple-minded, they understand.

This is all brought by Junior Brother.

Without the Junior Brother’s help, without his opportunity, they couldn’t stand out in the Sword Discussion Conference.

Thus, in others’ eyes, dignified and fierce, with five intimidating Giant Swords making opponents wary, the Tai’a five brothers are the most obedient to Mo Hua, the amicable and short-statured Junior Brother.

What Mo Hua says, they nod continuously, remember it, even showing a bit ”dedicated loyalty.”

Once prepared, everyone dispersed.

Mo Hua returned to the Disciple’s Residence, beginning his own Earth Character sword discussion planning.

From sword discussion till now, he’s already revealed many cards.

The remaining ones diminish with each use.

And the Earth Character sword discussion will feature real prodigies from the Four Sects, multiplying the difficulty; future battles will only become harder.

Even tomorrow’s sword discussion will be an intense struggle.

Mo Hua counted on his fingers, mentally calculating, sighing involuntarily, and his gaze gradually turned profound.
