The Quest for Immortality

The Barbarian God’s head was shattered, and once these auras were exposed to the air, they dissipated within a few breaths.

Mo Hua felt it was a pity, but he couldn’t keep such ancient causality.

Then Mo Hua lowered his head, looking at the Formation Patterns inside the Barbarian God’s head, his gaze gradually becoming excited.

Indeed, it’s the Taotie Pattern!

And it’s clearer and more vivid than the Taotie Pattern on the Evil God Bone Scroll.

Because what was on the Bone Scroll was the original diagram.

What lay before him now was the ”current diagram,” the Formation Method Map in actual application.

Though Mo Hua didn’t know what practical use the Taotie Pattern inside the Barbarian God statue’s head had.

Yet these Formation Patterns were extremely precious ”instances” of formations.

Mo Hua immediately took out a Jade Slip, eager to start inscribing the Taotie Patterns inside the Barbarian God’s head.

The ancient and solemn lines were inscribed by Mo Hua onto the Jade Slip.

After inscribing the Formation Patterns, Mo Hua didn’t hesitate and immediately began to assemble and organize them.

He pieced together all the individual Taotie Patterns, recomposing them into a complete Taotie Formation.

This process wasn’t difficult.

Because this was originally a complete formation, only when the head was split open did it shatter.

Just reassembling it and simply repairing the split Formation Patterns was enough.

Halfway through the repair process, Mo Hua realized something, his heart couldn’t help but race.

Once he completely restored this Taotie Formation, Mo Hua couldn’t help but beam with excitement.

Twenty-three patterns!

Unexpectedly, it was a Second Grade twenty-three pattern Taotie Absolute Formation!

It had been a long time since he’d obtained a new Absolute Formation.

Let alone, this was the Four Symbols Taotie Absolute Formation.

Mo Hua never imagined that inside the head of the Shugu Barbarian God statue, such a rare treasure would be hidden.

If it weren’t for Bi Jie, who trapped them in this Stone Palace for so long in order to ambush Dan Zhu, he almost missed it.

After all, even he hadn’t thought before about chopping the head off a Barbarian God statue and opening up its skull.

Mo Hua looked at the unknown twenty-three pattern Taotie Absolute Formation with delight.

Iron Skill Bone and the others had no idea what Mo Hua was doing.

They couldn’t even comprehend basic Holy Patterns, let alone these more advanced Four Symbols Array formations.

Mo Hua obtained the twenty-three pattern Taotie Absolute Formation.

To them, it only seemed like the Shaman was studying some strange Holy Pattern, and he appeared very pleased.

Only Dan Zhu understood a bit.

He speculated Mr. Witch obtained something extraordinary.

Because Mr. Witch was always composed and gentle, as refreshing as a clear breeze or bright moon, rarely exposing such excitement like a child.

But what Mo Hua truly got, even Dan Zhu couldn’t know.

Mo Hua secured the Taotie Pattern, getting ready to study it further, when suddenly, outside the valley, violent tremors and shouts filled the air.

”Has the Bi Fang Tribe attacked again?”

Dan Zhu’s expression became grave.

Mo Hua’s face also darkened.

The situation was urgent; if the valley was broken into, the Barbarian God’s head would be lost, and research into the Taotie Formation would be delayed.

Mo Hua said to Dan Zhu, ”Find a secret room and place the Barbarian God’s head inside, no one is allowed near it.”

Dan Zhu nodded, ”Okay.”

Then Dan Zhu gave orders.

A dozen Barbarian Soldiers moved the fragmented Barbarian God’s head into a nearby secret room.

Mo Hua set up a formation in the secret room, confirming it was secure, then left the Stone Palace with Dan Zhu.

Outside the Stone Palace, the battle erupted again.

The Bi Fang Tribe, along with some minor tribes Bi Jie rallied, began to attack the Danque Tribe.

Chi Feng was fighting against Bi Jie, two Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators, battling intensely amidst the mountain stone, as grass and wood flew, creating an imposing scene.

Mo Hua calculated for a moment in his mind, then whispered something to Dan Zhu.

Mo Hua told him which route to take with the troops, who to kill first, then who next, and finally how to surround Bi Jie, forcing him down a specific mountain path.

Dan Zhu memorized Mo Hua’s words and then said:

”Yes, Gentleman.”

Dan Zhu personally led a team of Barbarian Soldiers, following Mo Hua’s orders, into the mountains.

Soon, the Vermilion Bird Profound Fire lit up between the mountains, its killing aura surging.

Dan Zhu followed Mo Hua’s directions, acting like a celestial force, always avoiding ambushes, defeating strength with strategy, targeting the weak, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, slaughtering the ambushed Bi Fang Tribe and its cronies, scattering them like flowers in the wind, causing unrest within the Bi Fang Tribe’s ranks, making them fear Dan Zhu like a wolf, their courage vanishing in his presence.

The Bi Fang Tribe was heavily demoralized by Dan Zhu’s assault.

After a round of killing, Dan Zhu turned and closed in on Bi Jie.

Bi Jie was furious, gritting his teeth, ”Dan Zhu, little thief, you’re seeking death!”

Bi Jie fought Dan Zhu for several rounds, clearly holding the advantage.

But Chi Feng and Ba Shan were also present, with three Golden Core cultivators from the Danque Tribe surrounding and attacking Bi Jie alone, leaving even him struggling.

The Bi Fang Tribe came with a total of five Golden Core cultivators.

Elder Zhuo and Elder Cang were possessed and died at the hands of the Barbarian God.

Elder She was skilled in using poison, generally remaining out of sight, never engaging directly.

The remaining Initial Golden Core cultivator was previously ambushed by Mo Hua, severely injured, now paralyzed, recuperating in the rear.

Bi Jie alone, overwhelmed by numbers, was ultimately defeated again.

Fortunately for him, he had recruited enough ”henchmen” with a significant cost, so even if he retreated temporarily, in the long run, he could still wear down the Danque Tribe.
