The Quest for Immortality

Thus, Mo Hua stationed himself in the Second-Grade Black Horn State Boundary, while collecting the children of the Barbarian Tribes to impart knowledge and teachings anew.

At the same time, he forged Barbarian Armor to strengthen the tribe’s barbarian cultivators and embarked on conquests in all directions.

Whenever he had time, he would secretly act according to the list Elder Zamu had uncovered, hunting Barbarian Gods, devouring their telekinesis to further enhance his divine sense.

His days were busy yet fulfilling, leaving Mo Hua with no time for other concerns.

However, the pace of external conquests had notably slowed.

The Black Horn Mountain Realm was twice the size of the Wutu Mountain Realm.

There were more than twenty tribes of varying sizes, and many of them were not weak in strength.

Mo Hua retreated to the background and refrained from taking action, letting Wusha and the others fight on their own, naturally making the process much more challenging and slow.

But this was a process that had to be experienced.

Mo Hua, being a ”Shaman,” could not always charge into battle or constantly act, leaving too many traces and flaws behind.

And Wusha and the others must become independent, sharp ”swords” to fight for him in all directions.

This inevitably requires a process of integration and growth.

This process also inevitably involves the casualties of numerous tribal barbarian cultivators, various setbacks, failures, and relatively lengthy time consumption.

But all these are indispensable.

Without going through this phase, without undergoing these trials, the forces under his command cannot take shape, nor can they have any combat effectiveness.

At least within the Second-Grade State Boundary, they need to have the ability to be independent and autonomous, to conquer and pacify various small tribes.

Within the Three Thousand Wilderness, the majority of it consists of Second-Grade Mountain Realms, with the highest number of small tribes.

Mo Hua, after all, is only one person, unable to clone himself.

He still has more important tasks to accomplish, such as imparting teachings, cultivating divine sense, striving for Core Formation; it is impossible to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, to personally pacify each small tribe.

Therefore, equipping Wusha and the others with the capability to independently wage wars and pacify mountain realms becomes extremely important.

This can save Mo Hua a lot of time.

But during the initial stage, the pace of conquest is bound to slow down.

And this process lasted for half a year.

The conquest lasted a full half a year, before Wusha led the Wulu Tribe, Black Horn Tribe, Wotai Tribe, and Wutu Tribe along with allied barbarian cultivators to wholly conquer and pacify the Second-Grade Black Horn Mountain Realm.

Logically speaking, half a year is actually quite short.

But Mo Hua still felt it dragging.

His ”ambition” is too large; at this pace, to truly conquer the Three Thousand Wilderness may take a thousand years.

After all, the Three Thousand Wilderness does not consist solely of small mountain realms, there are quite a few large mountain realms and major tribes.

These are the truly difficult ”hard bones” to tackle, even considered as the insurmountable heavenly chasm, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

And after unified the Wutu Mountain Realm and the Black Horn Mountain Realm, Mo Hua faced a sharp dilemma:

Should he proceed to conquer a Third-Grade Mountain Realm?

To the southwest of the Black Horn Mountain Realm, about two thousand miles away, there was a Third Grade Barbarian Tribe Mountain Realm.

Mo Hua took some time off to visit, concealed himself within the state boundary to observe the situation, and came back having dispelled this notion.

It was indeed infeasible...

The southwestern Third-Grade Mountain Realm was far too expansive, roughly estimated to be ten times the size of the Black Horn Mountain Realm.

And this mountain realm actually had no unified name.

Because within the mountain realm, there were nearly ten Third-Grade tribes controlling different areas.

Among these tribes, each actually had Late Golden Core Stage barbarian cultivators stationed.

Mo Hua’s heart was quite shocked.

This was not an ordinary Third-Grade Mountain Realm, but a ”strong Third Grade” large mountain realm.

If it were an ordinary small Third-Grade Mountain Realm with only one or two Third-Grade tribes and the highest cultivation level at Initial Golden Core, Mo Hua still might entertain some thoughts.

But this sort of strong Third-Grade Mountain Realm is truly a formidable entity, too powerful to tackle.

With what land he’s conquered and the strength he’s accumulated, rashly venturing into a Third-Grade Mountain Realm would mean instant annihilation.

Even without considering the entire mountain realm, even selecting any of those major Third-Grade tribes, the current alliance of barbarian cultivators is no match.

After all, he doesn’t have a single Golden Core under his command.

Even if he disregarded the fateful evilness backlash and personally took action, activating the Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword, he could only slay divine senses under twenty-two patterns of Golden Core.

Against Golden Core Middle Stage and Late Golden Core Stage cultivators, without resorting to the disintegration of Large-scale Formations, they are simply opponents he cannot contend with.

The Third-Grade Mountain Realm is untouchable.

Hence, he can only continue to expand around the nearby small Second-Grade Mountain Realms, continuing to amass strength.

After deliberation, Mo Hua summoned Wusha.

In the large tent, Wusha greeted Mo Hua, half-kneeling, respectfully addressed him: ”Shaman Lord’s wisdom is profound,” his expression fervent.

Now they already occupy the Wutu Mountain Realm and the Black Horn Mountain Realm, two complete Second-Grade Mountain Realms.

This was something Wusha never dared to imagine in his entire life.

According to Barbarian Tribe history and tradition, relying on tribal combat prowess to conquer and pacify a mountain realm would typically require decades, even up to a hundred years.

Even in most tribes, the absolute majority of barbarian cultivators can’t achieve such a feat in their lifetime.

Now, under the instructions of the ”Shaman Lord,” they accomplished it in half a year, an achievement that can indeed be described as a ”miracle.”

Of course, the only regret is that as the chieftain of the tribe spearheading the conquest, he is not the master of the mountain realm.

Wutu and Black Horn Mountain Realms’ true master is the Shaman Lord.

Such vast territories, so many followers, and truly significant power are all in the hands of the Shaman Lord.

Wusha’s gaze towards Mo Hua instinctively carried a hint of greed.
