The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 737 -571: Storage Ring_3

Mo Hua was somewhat puzzled as he took out the jade slip which was grey and dull, its appearance ancient, as if it had existed for many years.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Mo Hua saw that on the jade slip, three big characters were engraved:

”Qian Taoist Sect.”

There was also a line of smaller characters beneath it:

”Those holding this order to enter the sect shall not refuse.”

...

The tone used was that of an “imperial command

Did it mean that anyone who held this token and sought to join the sect could not refuse?

Mo Hua furrowed his brows.

”Qian Taoist Sect

This name seemed somewhat familiar…

Mo Hua once again took out the map of Qian State from the Storage Ring and upon scanning it briefly, he found that in the Qianxue State Boundary, there indeed was a sect named “Qian Taoist Sect”.

Moreover, it was one of the Four Great Sects within the Qianxue State Boundary!

Mo Hua was startled.

This was…

The Sect-Entering Order of the Qian Taoist Sect?!

”How did this jade token end up in the Storage Ring… is this what Master left for me?”

Mo Hua felt somewhat dazed.

The Storage Ring was given to him by his master, and only he knew about it.

No one else could open it.

If there was something inside, it could only have been left by his master…

”The Sect-Entering Order of the Qian Taoist Sect

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then understood his master’s intention.

His master had given him this token, and on the token was the name of a sect.

If he had the chance and knew what this sect was and where it was located, then he could rely on the token to join the sect himself.

But if he was clueless about it all, then it meant he had no such fate.

With or without this jade token, it would be the same.

”This is… a path out that Master left for me

Mo Hua was taken aback.

Although he had learned the Heavenly secret Calculation and had stealthily studied the Tricky Calculation, possessed the Five Elements Formation Flow Chart, his foundation was weak, his Formation techniques unorthodox, only versed in the Five Elements. ꭆã₦ốᛒĘ𝒮

He needed to join a sect to learn more comprehensive Tao Cultivation knowledge.

To understand the formations beyond the Five Elements, other systems of formations.

To pursue higher realms of cultivation…

All these… Master had anticipated…

Mo Hua felt a sourness in the corners of his eyes.

He opened the map of Qian State again and located the destination indicated by the Sect-Entering Order.

”Fifth-class Qianxue State Boundary, Qian Taoist Sect, huh

Mo Hua was very clear in his heart.

By only cultivating behind closed doors, his progress in Cultivation and his mastery over formations would inevitably be slow.

After Foundation Establishment, exactly how to cultivate, how to stabilize the Taoist Foundation, enhance one’s Cultivation, breakthrough to Golden Core, and beyond Golden Core, how to undergo Feather Transformation…

He was completely ignorant about these profound realms of Cultivation.

Cultivation is the foundation of a Cultivator.

Without sufficient Cultivation, he would forever remain a Foundation Building Cultivator, forever just a first or at most a Second Grade Formation Master.

He would also never learn the extremely profound formations that snatch the creation of heaven and earth, reverse the causality of life and death…

And thus, he would never… be able to save his master…

Or repay the kindness his master had shown him.

But Mo Hua felt conflicted within his heart.

He knew that sooner or later, he would have to leave Tongxian City.

”But, what about father and mother

Mo Hua furrowed his brows and sighed deeply.

What would happen to his parents if he left?

In the following days, Mo Hua was somewhat listless.

Liu Ruhua noticed Mo Hua’s expression and one day, after finishing dinner and tidying up, she asked him:

”Huar, do you have some worries on your mind?”

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head.

”Mother, it’s nothing

Liu Ruhua shook her head and looked at Mo Hua gently.

No one knows a child better than their mother.

Mo Hua was her child, and even though he was clever and skilled at painting formations, there were some things he couldn’t hide from his mother.

Mo Hua, hesitation in his eyes, finally talked about the Qian Taoist Sect.

”Qian State

Liu Ruhua murmured, “Are Zisheng and Zixi also in Qian State?”

”Yeah,” Mo Hua nodded, “But Qian State is very large, and they’re far apart. It’s not certain that we’ll meet.”

”Is that so

Liu Ruhua sounded slightly regretful, then after a moment of thought, her gaze became resolute, “Then go.”

Mo Hua was stunned, “But, mother

Liu Ruhua shook her head, “The love of parents for their children means planning for their long-term future

”You have already completed your Foundation Establishment. Staying in Tongxian City, although I would be happy, I also know that this would be your future.”

”If you were a hundred years old, two hundred years old, I wouldn’t say anything.”

”But you’re only fifteen now… You can’t be trapped here for a lifetime

”Although I’m reluctant, I also don’t want to see you waste your talent.”

”Moreover, there’s Mr. Zhuang

Liu Ruhua sighed, “You haven’t made it clear, but I know that Mr. Zhuang must have encountered some calamity, and he might be in a life or death situation, otherwise you wouldn’t have returned alone

”Mr. Zhuang has shown great kindness to you, no, to our entire family.”

”A favor as small as a drop of water should be returned with a spring.”

”I don’t know what cultivation level Mr. Zhuang has, but I imagine it’s not low. With your current realm, you certainly can’t help.”

”But you must remember this favor.”

”Even if you can’t help now, you must keep it in your heart, and repay Mr. Zhuang’s kindness when your cultivation is higher. Even if it’s beyond your capability, you must do your best!”

The gentle look on Liu Ruhua’s face was filled with determination.

”Alright, mother!”

Mo Hua nodded solemnly.

”But what about father

Mo Hua still had some concerns.

”You don’t need to worry about your father at all

Liu Ruhua stroked Mo Hua’s head, her voice gentle:

”Your father is a Monster Hunter. Hunting monsters is his livelihood. When you were young, he would spend years in the mountains, fighting Monster Beasts, accumulating scars after scars, earning Spirit Stones to raise you.”

”He silently bore the burden of this family from a very early time

”Though he is only at the Qi Refinement stage, it’s not yet time for you to worry about him.”

”What he regrets the most is that he can’t give you the best, neither in cultivation techniques nor formations, he can’t help you.”

”If you truly have the ambition to seek and learn the Dao, he won’t say much, but he will surely be happy for you in his heart

Liu Ruhua looked at Mo Hua and smiled slightly:

”Although you’ve completed your Foundation Establishment, you’re only fifteen years old. It’s not time for you to worry about your parents.”

”You just do what you want to do.”

”Don’t hesitate, just go forward

”But there’s one thing

Liu Ruhua cautioned, “Huar, you must remember, to your parents, your life is the most precious.”

”No matter what, take good care of yourself.”

”Yes!” Mo Hua, moved, nodded and said, “Mother, rest assured, no one can kill me!”

His eyes suddenly flashed, innocence and cunning merged together, one eye foresaw the Heavenly secret, the other was filled with oddity, and within his fate lurked the terrifying blood-red Corpse King.

In the far-off South Yue City, Mining Cultivators burned incense, beseeching strength, and Karmic Protection.

Liu Ruhua was taken aback.

She always felt that Mo Hua was somewhat different just now, but on closer inspection, he seemed the same.

Still the child who was her heart and soul.

Liu Ruhua chuckled softly and pinched Mo Hua’s tender cheek.

”There you go, talking big again

Mo Hua squinted his eyes, smiling happily.

With both parents’ approval, he didn’t need to hesitate anymore.

He had made up his mind. He would go to the Fifth-class Qianxue State Boundary, join a Sect, cultivate in the search for the Dao, and learn all the formations in the world!

He would forge a Golden Core, achieve Feather Transformation.

Step by step in the future, He would aim for the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

He would learn formations that others couldn’t learn, and save a master that others couldn’t save!

But one must prepare for a rainy day.

Before going to Qian State, he would take some time to plan carefully, prepare thoroughly, and make sure all was in order…
