The Quest for Immortality

The two who witnessed and personally experienced all kinds of causes and effects of heaven and earth were still astonished, holding their breath, and staring blankly at Mo Hua.

Only when Mo Hua’s aura became calm, his breathing even, and there was no further danger did the two finally begin to relax, gently letting out a breath.

Elder Master Xun cautiously checked Mo Hua’s pulse and felt relieved at last.

Then he took out a translucent golden pill and fed it to Mo Hua, burned another Calming Incense, and once the fragrance permeated, soothing the mind, he and True Man Situ left the cave.

Outside the cave, with the door closed and the Formation sealed, the two dared not go far, only setting up a table and brewing tea in the yard for a short rest.

True Man Situ took a sip of tea, feeling revived, and sighed deeply, suddenly realizing that his whole Taoist Robe was drenched in cold sweat, and could not help but smile wryly:

”Truly in this world, there exists someone with such a...”

True Man Situ couldn’t find the right words, so he could only sigh, ”Such a... ’astounding fate that moves heaven and earth, making Ghost Gods weep’...”

”Today, it’s fair to say we’ve seen ’the world’...”

Elder Master Xun was silent for a while, and also sighed: ”I didn’t expect...”

He felt that he had understood this child Mo Hua, yet the more he knew, the more he realized how little he knew.

Corpse Mountain, Taoist Demon, Evil Embryo, fateful evilness... With such terrifying causes and effects, an ordinary cultivator, if entangled with just one, meets an ill fate.

But Mo Hua’s body harbors a whole heap of them.

If not something profoundly terrifying, it seemed unworthy to touch him...

Elder Master Xun’s expression was already a bit numb.

True Man Situ also sipped the hot tea, suppressing his shock.

The yard quieted down for a moment.

After an unknown period, True Man Situ frowned again and said: ”This matter... is far from over...”

Elder Master Xun slightly startled, realizing what True Man Situ was referring to, also furrowing his brows.

True Man Situ’s voice was extraordinarily solemn: ”His fate is beyond description even by ’great ominous’.”

The omen of great ominousness refers to a person’s fate.

Now, this fate is already difficult to view as ’human.’

”None of these Evil Spirits are easy to deal with, and with all these Evil Spirits gathered together, not only are they extremely ominous but form an incredibly terrifying ’breeding venom’ evil situation.”

Ultimately, what kind of ’venom’ is bred, no one knows.

But breeding ’venom’ with Corpse Mountain, Taoist Demon, Evil Embryo, heaven and earth’s deadly evilness... No need to think to understand just how terrifying it is.

True Man Situ felt his scalp was tingling.

”At present...” True Man Situ took a slight breath, ”Now, with Earth Dao Meaning protecting him, and Qian Path fortune balancing, Mo Hua’s fate is temporarily stable, but these Evil Spirits are merely temporarily ’balanced,’ fundamentally unable to be eliminated. Once...”

True Man Situ’s voice trembled slightly, ”Once disturbed by external forces or his internal Taoist Heart is in disarray, breaking this balance, then these ominous Evil Spirits in his fate will ’rise again from the ashes’.”

”Mo Hua will also suffer a more fierce backlash... Today’s ’demonization’ will reoccur, possibly even more intense...”

”When that time comes...”

True Man Situ’s face was pale, unwilling to continue speaking.

Elder Master Xun’s face also cast with a deep shadow.

Both salvation and destruction on the grand scale of causes and effects converge in one person.

One thought can save the world.

Another thought can also annihilate all beings.

Causes and effects are unpredictable, heavenly secrets hard to determine, fortune fluctuates, how Mo Hua’s fate will develop, truly... is beyond anyone’s forecast.

”There’s another issue...”

True Man Situ spoke again with resolute tones, ”Even if this fate, under the blessing of heaven and earth’s fortune, can stabilize and no longer reverse, it may still subtly influence this child’s temperament.”

”Especially, that deadly evilness will invisibly make him brutal, fierce, bloodthirsty, inclined to kill over disagreement...”

”Over time, he will still become... a Great Demon that murders extensively...”

True Man Situ’s tone turned icy.

Elder Master Xun frowned tightly, asking True Man Situ:

”What is the typical treatment under the Law of Heavenly Mechanism Causality for cultivators with such fate?”

True Man Situ was silent, then slowly said:

”Records in Mystery Valley state, cultivators with such fateful evilness... their temperament is prone to change, the variables in life are too great, the dangers too high, nine times out of ten, they will be dominated by Evil Qi, becoming bloodthirsty Demon Heads.”

”Following convention, it is...”

True Man Situ paused slightly, then said coldly, ”Preventing matters before they happen, eradicate the latent dangers of these Evil Spirits in the cradle.”

Elder Master Xun’s eyelids twitched.

True Man Situ sighed again: ”But these... do not quite apply to Mo Hua. Mo Hua’s fate is far more brutal than many others, and with Qian Path fortune bestowed, the situation is even more complex, it’s not that simple, it can’t be eradicated just like that.”

Even if truly clamoring...

True Man Situ simply couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Mo Hua saved his life, he couldn’t repay kindness with enmity.

Elder Master Xun is even less likely to bear it.

Mo Hua is dearer to him than his own grandson.

Unless Mo Hua truly becomes an unparalleled villainous demon one day, otherwise neither True Man Situ nor Elder Master Xun could bring themselves to hunt him down.

Elder Master Xun pondered for a while, then sighed deeply: ”Speaking of these now is premature, let’s wait until Mo Hua awakens and discuss it then.”

True Man Situ nodded.

The two said nothing further, drinking tea to themselves, but clearly were preoccupied, a layer of worry between their brows.

Meanwhile, outside, winds and clouds change.

The Blood Sacrifice Array was dismantled, Demon Cultivators slaughtered to the last, causing a whirlwind of tremors, suspicions, disputes, and many subsequent issues.

But all this has nothing to do with Taixu Gate.

Taixu Gate, following Elder Master Xun’s orders, kept the mountain gates closed, isolating all disturbances and causality calculations.

Outside, dark currents surged.

Within Taixu Gate, from the ancestors to the disciples, they cared only for Mo Hua’s safety.

Finally, seven days later, in the ancestral cave of Taixu’s rear mountain, Mo Hua, who had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened his eyes.

His fate, reflected in his eyes.

The deadly evilness and Qian Path fortune fused together, intertwining black and white, slowly flowing...
