The Quest for Immortality

Did anyone in this world actually... eat the Evil God alive?

True Man Situ’s mind went blank in an instant, feeling that there was no more absurd and horrifying story than this in the world.

As for Mo Hua, who had consumed the Evil God alive, his pupils immediately turned sinister, his demeanor changed dramatically, and strands of black-gray evil qi spread across his body like a plague, only to be forcibly suppressed by his meditation and pure golden Divine Thought.

After suppressing the evil qi, Mo Hua turned to look at True Man Situ.

His expression was innocent yet dignified, as flawless and beautiful as if he descended from heaven, his golden radiance splendid like a divine being.

Yet the scene just witnessed, of consuming the Evil God alive, was vivid in memory, and now being looked at by Mo Hua, True Man Situ’s heart trembled, making him shiver subconsciously.

He felt both shocked and frightened within:

What should this child be now? A person, a god, or a demon?

Why could he learn Taixu Gate’s Godslaying Sword?

It has only been ten years since their last meeting, what great Dao spells did this child learn, reaching this astonishing earth-shattering realm terrorizing Ghost and God...

But True Man Situ dared not ask.

Having experienced the scenes earlier, even as the highly revered Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, a Feathered Immortal of profound cultivation, he dared not speak easily on matters of Divine Thought towards someone like Mo Hua, a presence akin to ’God and Demon’.

Moreover, time has passed, True Man Situ is really uncertain if Mo Hua can still be considered ’human’.

Does he still remember the connections of fate they had back in Li State City?

Thus, being stared at by Mo Hua’s eyes as clear as glass, True Man Situ felt inexplicably uneasy and uncertain.

Fortunately, moments later, Mo Hua’s golden aura subsided, his presence collected, transforming back into the innocent child with rosy lips and pearly teeth, his gaze clear and features picturesque. He greeted True Man Situ with a respectful bow, his voice crisp:

”Senior Situ, long time no see.”

Seeing Mo Hua’s warm and lovely demeanor, True Man Situ felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Moments later, he breathed deeply, feeling a huge burden lift from his heart, relaxed all over.

”Young friend, long...long time no see...”

The pressure Mo Hua exerted just moments ago was immense, in a way, even greater than that from the Evil God.

After all, the Evil God was ’eaten’ by Mo Hua...

Thinking of this, True Man Situ felt a sense of foreboding, ”You...”

Mo Hua shook his head, ”Now is not the time to talk.”

Many things he couldn’t explain or had no time to explain.

”Senior Situ, please leave quickly, the nightmare of the Great Wilderness Evil Fetus is not a place to linger. Also...”

Mo Hua’s eyes focused slightly, solemnly urging:

”Once you leave, you must do one thing: make all cultivators in the Qian Learning State Boundary swiftly leave the scope of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation!”

”This is very important, you must remember!”

Mo Hua spoke with utmost seriousness.

True Man Situ’s expression turned grave, knowing Mo Hua was not jesting, he nodded solemnly, ”Alright, I’ll remember.”

Mo Hua relaxed slightly, then turned to Wenren Wan beside him.

Wenren Wan’s face was pale, spirit only just stabilizing, looking at Mo Hua with eyes reddened, ”Mo Hua...”

Mo Hua smiled, comforting her: ”Aunt Wan, I promised you, I will definitely take good care of Yu Er.”

Wenren Wan felt a warmth arise in her heart, eyes filling with tears.

The fears, worries, grief, and despair of recent days seemed to gradually dissipate with Mo Hua’s clear smile.

Mo Hua continued: ”Aunt Wan, you and Senior Situ should leave first, I’ll take Yu Er back.”

Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua with tears, eyes full of worry, concerned for both Mo Hua and Yu Er, but eventually, all concerns transformed into trust.

Wenren Wan pursed her lips, nodded.

True Man Situ hesitated for a long time, suddenly speaking:

”Mo Hua, I... have an unreasonable request...”

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, nodding, ”Senior Situ, please say.”

True Man Situ paused briefly, then deeply sighed, pointing at the Primordial Spirits of various Divine Thought Cultivators on the ground, who had been gnawed by Demon Monsters, greatly damaged and heavily polluted, nearly on the brink of destruction, asking Mo Hua:

”Can you...save them?”

This journey had fourteen Divine Thought Cultivators, perhaps each had their own selfish motives, but facing grave danger, they forged ahead regardless, risking their lives nine times over, invading the Evil God’s nightmare, slaying the newborn Evil God.

Now these fellow cultivators fought valiantly against the powers of the Evil God, their Divine Souls nearing destruction, leaving him alone struggling to survive, True Man Situ could not avoid feeling guilt and regret.

Despite his Primordial Spirit being tremendously depleted, and even the Six Yang Red Gold Cup shattered, at least his life was spared.

But the others...

True Man Situ’s expression was forlorn.

Mo Hua also furrowed his brows.

He was indeed skilled at killing Divine Thoughts, consuming them, but saving other cultivators’ Primordial Spirits was really outside his experience.

However...

These people came to save Yu Er.

Moreover, in such a dire situation, they dared risk themselves, invading a nightmare full of Demon Wraiths, confronting the Evil God, even at the cost of their own Primordial Spirits nearing extinction, Mo Hua’s heart felt respect.

In every sense, he ought to do something.

But what to do?

Mo Hua turned, seeing on the ground, countless Primordial Spirits, Feathered or even Heaven Void, suppressed by the Evil God’s divine authority, their realms declining, polluted by various evil and corrupt Laws, their Divine Thoughts decomposing, only one-tenth of their Primordial Spirit bodies remaining, he found it extremely difficult, furrowing his brows ever more tightly.

”The injuries are too severe...”

”Moreover, the pollution level is too deep, basically beyond salvation...”

”To save them...”
