The Quest for Immortality

Besides that, throughout the Great Wilderness, there are many Immortal Cities, or slightly larger Barbarian Tribes settlements, where the Great Wilderness Sect generally has outposts, with significant influence and vast jurisdiction.

It can even be said that the Great Wilderness Sect is a ”small Taoist Court” established in the Great Wilderness.

However, this small Taoist Court is a ”downsized” version with a lower grade.

Among these outposts, the fourth-grade Great Desert City is the largest stronghold of the Great Wilderness Sect, second only to the mountain gate of the main sect, with a vast area and a majestic presence.

At the same time, this military banquet is of an extremely grand standard.

The cultivators attending have very high status.

At this moment, seated at the top of the banquet is a group of masters in the Feather Transformation realm.

The one dressed in a half golden beast pattern Taoist robe is the Feather Transformation realm Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect.

Beside him is an ordinary-looking Chief Elder who keeps a low profile, also in the Feather Transformation realm.

The rest seated at the same level, yet more imposing in presence, are the Feather Transformation Great Commanders responsible for suppressing the rebellion on behalf of the Taoist Court.

The Feather Transformation Great Commander of the Yang Family is also among them.

With no Heaven Void appearing, the Feathered Immortal is the top combat power walking the world.

And these True Men are not ordinary Feather Transformation cultivators; they are either sect leaders dominating one region or Chief Elders with high positions and great authority.

Or they are Great Commanders of the Taoist soldiers Court, overseeing thousands of Taoist Soldiers and intimidating their region.

Just sitting together, they exude an awe-inspiring aura.

However, Mo Hua is fine since he has witnessed many ”big scenes.”

At the Taixu Gate, the one who taught him Formation was Elder Master Xun in the Heaven Void Realm, and the one who taught him Swordsmanship was the top expert in Heaven Void, Patriarch Dugu.

In the Blood Sacrifice Array, those he interacted with were Mr. Tu, Shangguan Wang, and the Featherization Old Demon from Yin Corpse Valley and the Demon Sword Sect.

Therefore, although the scene before him is grand, Mo Hua doesn’t get stage fright and continues to eat and drink, composed and calm.

Yang Jishan watches from the side, nodding silently.

In small matters, he is modest and unperturbed; facing great scenes, he is neither humble nor arrogant.

This open-minded demeanor is indeed remarkable and makes him a talent worth cultivating.

”Such a young and handsome talent, if we had truly met and interacted before, I should have remembered, I can’t possibly have forgotten...”

Yang Jishan furrows his brows and falls into deep thought again.

Mo Hua, unconcerned, continues eating meat, focusing on filling himself up.

While eating, Mo Hua was also worried about the Big Tiger.

Wondering if it could get enough to eat in the Beast Fighting Arena or if it would go hungry.

As he ponders, suddenly there is a clamor, and Mo Hua looks toward the noise to see a group of people approaching from the other side.

Leading them is a young man clad in golden beast pattern battle armor, tall and imposing with a noble aura.

Mo Hua’s gaze deepens.

”Young Master Tuoba...”

The person coming is precisely that Young Master Tuoba from the Beast Fighting Arena.

At this moment, Young Master Tuoba, accompanied by a crowd, ascends the high platform and respectfully salutes the Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect, the Chief Elder, and several Taoist soldiers commanders.

The Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect nods and then says something to the Great Commanders.

Being far away and with a soundproofing technique in place, Mo Hua can’t hear what they’re saying, but he roughly guesses that the Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect is introducing his son, that is, Young Master Tuoba, to the Great Commanders of the Taoist soldiers Court.

Young Master Tuoba, tall, imposing, and indeed a fine talent, expresses his respect.

The Feather Transformation Great Commanders all offer him much praise.

Afterwards, the Sect Leader of the Great Wilderness Sect instructs Young Master Tuoba on something.

Young Master Tuoba replies with a ”Yes” and then descends the high platform to toast each Taoist soldier commander lower in rank, his words cordial, manners thoughtful, and demeanor gentle and elegant, far from the arrogance and disregard for life he showed in the Beast Fighting Arena.

After making rounds, he naturally comes to Mo Hua.

Young Master Tuoba smiles and says things like ”Thank you for your hard work, commanders,” ”We should work together to pacify the rebellion in the Great Wilderness,” and ”Uniting our efforts for the peace of the land,” then raises his cup to drink with the generals.

Yang Jishan and Yang Jiyong, seeing Young Master Tuoba, a Sect Leader’s son with exceptional talent and impressive appearance, yet so gracious and approachable, admire him in their eyes and empty their cups.

Mo Hua blends in with the crowd and silently finishes his cup.

He is just a small ”attendant,” naturally keeping a low profile.

Young Master Tuoba also treats him ”equally” or rather, doesn’t even notice him.

His eyes just briefly sweep over Mo Hua before moving on, ready to head to the next table.

But for some reason, Young Master Tuoba suddenly pauses, unable to resist turning back to give Mo Hua another look, his brows furrowing deeper the more he looks.

Seeing this, Yang Jishan finds it a bit strange: ”Young Master Tuoba?”

Young Master Tuoba is startled, regains his senses, and bows: ”Leader Yang.”

Yang Jishan asks: ”Does the Young Master have something to say?”

Young Master Tuoba’s eyes flash as he looks at Mo Hua, asking: ”This young brother seems ’unfamiliar,’ is he...”

Mo Hua smiles gently but says nothing.

Yang Jishan, being one who appreciates talent, is quite willing to introduce Mo Hua in front of Young Master Tuoba and says:

”This young brother, surnamed Mo, named Hua, is an exceptionally talented Formation Master...”

”Formation Master?” Young Master Tuoba is taken aback, thinking to himself if he has mistaken the person, and asks again: ”Surname Mo...is he not from the Yang Family?”

Yang Jishan replies: ”Not a Yang Family member, but a friend of the Yang Family, having good relations with its disciples.”

A friend of the Yang Family...
