The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 881 -614 Unsealing_2

This fear was unmistakably clear.

Shangguan Yi once again thought of Elder Mei from Mystery Valley.

It was at his request that Elder Mei had dispelled the fog and seen some sort of karmic taboo, before losing his sanity and spouting nonsensical things like “having been bitten by a zombie,” “going to turn into a zombie,” such as Corpse Mountain and great terrors.

Shangguan Yi did not know whose fate Elder Mei had divined to fall into madness.

But such a person, with a fate so terrifying, must be well-versed in the Heavenly Secret Calculation, and might even be one of the behind-the-scenes masters pushing this matter.

And that child Mo Hua, it was likely that he had something to do with this person.

Even though Mo Hua himself might not even be aware…

After hesitating for a long time, Shangguan Yi still confided his worries to Wenren Wan.

Wenren Wan scoffed, “That’s because you, hooked on scheming and struggle, see causality in everyone and calculation in everything

”This child Mo Hua, I think he’s pretty good.”

”If you treat him with sincerity, he will naturally treat you with sincerity. If you feel that something’s off with him, it’s because there’s something off with you

Shangguan Yi offered a wry smile, then after a moment, his expression became serious as he sighed,

”Think about it. Yu Er was abducted, and so many people couldn’t find her, yet why was Mo Hua able to find her

”Yu Er was troubled by nightmares, and the elders said it was an insoluble evil karmic fiend.”

”But why, as soon as Mo Hua arrived, could Yu Er sleep peacefully

”There must be something strange about this

”I’m afraid

Shangguan Yi’s worry was palpable, though he didn’t articulate it.

Upon hearing his words, Wenren Wan’s own expression grew solemn; she frowned and thought for a long time until she suddenly understood,

”That’s because this child Mo Hua, he is Yu Er’s ‘blessing’!”

Shangguan Yi was stunned, at a loss for words.

But Wenren Wan’s thoughts became clearer to her, and nodding her head, she said,

”This child Mo Hua must be blessed with deep fortune!”

”That’s why when Yu Er was abducted, others couldn’t find her, but Mo Hua could. Others couldn’t save her, but Mo Hua could.”

”Yu Er was troubled by nightmares, and Mo Hua was there that night. I saw with my own eyes Mo Hua collapse to the ground, his face pale and an evil fiend clinging to him. Clearly, he had taken on the ‘disaster’ for Yu Er, only to faint afterward.”

”But I told you, this child Mo Hua is blessed with deep fortune, so these ‘disasters’ cannot affect him!”

”Mo Hua’s fortune is also Yu Er’s fortune.”

”For Yu Er to grow up safely amidst struggles from a young age, she must stay by the side of a child so deeply blessed like Mo Hua!”

Wenren Wan spoke with certainty, her reasoning sound.

Shangguan Yi was almost persuaded by her words…

Fortunately, he had some knowledge of karma and evil fiends and knew that this so-called “fortune” was not as simple as it seemed.

Shangguan Yi still wanted to refuse, “Yu Er is still young and is only at the Qi Refinement stage, Taixu Gate won’t accept her

”Not as an official disciple, just for pre-school boarding

”The Taixu Sect Leader will not agree to this

”How could he not agree with the legitimate lineage of the Shangguan and Wenren families and their good spiritual roots? He would accept her even if it meant making an exception

”This Shangguan Yi had a headache and continued, “I’m afraid It might hinder Mo Hua’s cultivation

Wenren Wan was slightly stunned. That was a concern…

She had not thought of this.

Mo Hua was usually busy with his cultivation practice and definitely could not take care of Yu Er.

After some consideration, Wenren Wan had an idea:

”I’ll assign a guard to take care of Yu Er, to supervise her cultivation. They won’t bother Mo Hua on regular days. If Yu Er is troubled by nightmares and can’t sleep, then they’ll trouble Mo Hua to have a look

Shangguan Yi sighed, “There’s no precedent for this in Taixu Gate

”There is now,” Wenren Wan said.

”My father won’t agree to it. And at Taixu Gate, there will probably be many obstacles, especially from some elders who strictly abide by sect rules; they won’t agree

”How can you know if you don’t try?”

”Wan’er

Wenren Wan declared with determination, “I have decided! Yu Er must be sent to Taixu Gate!”

Shangguan Yi replied, “Yu Er now… rarely has nightmares anymore, it’s not necessary to go through such trouble

Wenren Wan’s eyes darkened, “What about later?”

Shangguan Yi was taken aback.

Frowning deeply and with a grave emotion, Wenren Wan said in a cold voice, “How do you know she won’t have even more terrifying nightmares in the future?”

”If Yu Er later Wenren Wan’s voice trembled slightly, seemingly recalling the terrible future from her dreams, encounters stronger, more desperate nightmares

”What then, for our child

Wenren Wan clutched at Shangguan Yi’s arm, her slender knuckles turning white with her grip.

Shangguan Yi was taken aback.

He looked deeply into his wife’s eyes, seeing her profound affection and fear of some unknown threat, and felt a tremor in his heart.

Shangguan Yi nodded deeply and said softly,

”Alright, I’ll find a way to get Yu Er into… Taixu Gate!”

…

Mo Hua did not know about Yu Er’s situation.

He didn’t realize that soon, he would have a “little neighbor.”

Upon returning to the Sect, Mo Hua still spent his days and nights studying the Primordial Magnet Formation, deducing the Secondary Thunder Patterns.

The Jade Slip of his Secondary Thunder Pattern recorded more and more patterns.

Although they were still complex, with many variations and details, these “patterns” were becoming clearer and more familiar in the eyes of Mo Hua.

They were like Taoist Friends he had never met before, who, after many encounters, had grown familiar.
