The Quest for Immortality

Expectation?

It was like waiting for “dishes to be served” at a feast…

Wenren Wei frowned and hesitated for a moment before bowing and saying,

"Then, I must trouble Young Master Mo.”

Afterwards, Wenren Wei went outside, his gaze steady and vigilant, keeping an eye on his surroundings. At the same time, he also sent out a thread of his Divine Sense, paying attention to Mo Hua.

He felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

The matter with Young Master Yu was quite peculiar; he had only heard of it, but had never truly seen it.

And now, he had witnessed with his own eyes Young Master Yu having a nightmare, as if he were possessed by an Evil Monster.

However, even as he looked around and his Divine Sense swept over, he still couldn’t sense anything.

With his Cultivation Realm, he couldn’t discern the slightest clue…

But he knew that this Young Master Mo with the surname Mo had indeed “seen” something just now.

What exactly was it that was so eerie and evil…

He, a Cultivator at the peak of the Late Golden Core Stage, couldn’t see it, but a little Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage could…

Wenren Wei’s gaze turned somber, his heart filled with confusion.

Just then, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

Wenren Wei faintly sensed something, as if there was something very angry, malice that filled the sky, whipping up gusts of Evil Qi.

Then, a moment of dizziness.

That Young Master Mo with the surname Mo, his face paled, his expression shadowed, and he slowly closed his eyes.

It was as if he was using himself as a shield to protect Young Master Yu from some “Evil Qi”.

Wenren Wei’s heart shuddered, and his look toward Mo Hua was filled with a touch of respect.

Such a little child, to have such a noble quality of “self-sacrifice” was truly rare…

…

And within the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua opened his eyes.

The view was as usual.

Dark waters spread, malformed Demon Monsters, their gruesome smiling faces, bizarre and grotesque, like hell.

The Demon Monsters saw the incarnation of Mo Hua’s Divine Thought, so “young,” so “innocent,” and they all showed greedy expressions.

In their eyes, Mo Hua was just an “appetizer.”

But soon, Mo Hua let them know.

Exactly who was the “appetizer.”

Mo Hua gave a cold smile, his finger drew a line, like a heartless judge, a stroke of his iron brush, and he decided the fate of these Demon Monsters.

An imposing Formation appeared.

On the ground, the crimson Formation Patterns, complex and interwoven, flowed like lava.

The surrounding rocks and boulders morphed into a cage.

The Formation turned into a raging inferno, trapping, burning alive, and refining away the horde of Demon Monsters.

Then, Mo Hua opened his mouth slightly and swallowed these Demon Monsters whole.

After swallowing them, Mo Hua licked his lips, seeming unsatisfied, and then rummaged around for a while, his expression disappointed.

He saw the spreading dark water and the dense Demonic Qi and thought that there might be Sheep-Horned Enforcers or some other such creature inside.

He could have another drink of the golden Divine Thought “marrow.”

Unfortunately, there were none.

Only low-level Demon Monsters fit to fill his belly.

"I wonder when the Sheep-Horned Enforcer will come

Mo Hua shook his head, exited the Sea of Consciousness, and opened his eyes. The shadows on his face vanished, the pallor faded away, and his cheeks turned rosy.

And his eyes were even more spirited, full of Divine Sense vitality.

Wenren Wei, who had been paying attention to him, looked startled and slightly alarmed.

"What exactly… happened?”

He had been watching Mo Hua, and in his view, this Young Master Mo had initially been pale, his forehead suffused with Evil Qi. But not long after, it dissipated like snow in hot water.

Wenren Wei was somewhat stunned.

Could it be… this Young Master truly had a body impervious to all evil, a being of immense good fortune?

As the young lady said, was he Young Master Yu’s lucky charm?

Mo Hua glanced at Yu Er, and seeing that he was no longer afraid and was sleeping soundly, he tucked in the blanket around him, stood up, and walked over to Wenren Wei, saying,

"Uncle Wei, it should be fine now. I’m heading back.”

In Wenren Wei’s eyes, surprise was hard to conceal as he bowed solemnly,

"Young Master Mo, thank you for your efforts.”

After Mo Hua left, Wenren Wei suddenly called out to him, and after a moment of silence, he said,

"Young Master Mo, if there is anything that needs to be done, please feel free to command me.”

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised but did not refuse Wenren Wei’s goodwill and replied with a smile,

"Thank you, Uncle Wei.”

…

Back in his room, Mo Hua continued to sit in meditation.

Because he had overeaten, he needed to “digest the meal.”

So he meditated with a focused mind, dispelling evil thoughts, and the strands of demonic Divine Thought were slowly absorbed and completely refined by him.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense also saw a noticeable enhancement.

It was probably equivalent to a month of training with Formation Patterns…

Though he was still far from the Seventeen Patterns, this kind of “unexpected joy” in Divine Thought was quite substantial…

"If only there were such ‘food’ every day Mo Hua couldn’t help but think.

Then he shook his head, feeling a bit greedy.

An occasional feast was good enough; one couldn’t have such a meal every day.

Demons weren’t really “chives.”

Even if they were “chives,” they couldn’t possibly grow a new crop every day.

Mo Hua continued to sit in meditation, calmly cultivating, concentrating in thought, but as he was thinking, the scene when the demons appeared reemerged in his mind.

Void patterns, Karmic chains, thick black water…

Mo Hua frowned and murmured, “I wonder who commands these demons and how they are sent to Yu Er’s side through Karmic chains

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then his eyes slightly brightened.

If he knew the method to control the demons, then could he find a way…

To remotely manipulate them and have them “deliver” more?

"Even stopping these demons from bothering Yu Er any further.”

"A child like Yu Er, being constantly frightened and unable to sleep, it’s quite pitiable.”

"Direct them to come to me instead

"I don’t need to sleep and can play with them all the time

Mo Hua’s mental calculations clanged loudly in his head.

He noted this down silently, thinking that when he had time, he must understand the Karmic spell point and then find a way to change the “address.”

Demons and ghostly creatures were quite dangerous; he couldn’t always let the neighbors take delivery.

Direct home delivery, all in one go, sent straight to his own house, how convenient that would be…

Mo Hua nodded, feeling that his request was quite reasonable.

…

Moments earlier, in the Back Hill Forbidden Area of Taixu Gate.

Within the strictly guarded Sword Tomb,

An old man, withered and gaunt, with long beards touching the ground, opened his eyes.

As if Chaos was freshly divided and Taixu circulated, a sharp sword light burst from his eyes, filled with an unparalleled presence.

"What evil dares to show itself in Taixu?”

With a flick of his finger, he sought to trace the source through the Heavenly secret, from effect to cause, and to slash the Evil Spirit with his sword.

But as soon as he began to trace, he furrowed his brows.

"Gone

"Disappeared

"Was it ‘eaten’ by something?”

The old man was somewhat astonished.

"Since when did Taixu Gate raise a ‘Divine Beast’ that eats Evil Spirits?”
