The Quest for Immortality

”Senluo Water Prison...”

These words, bloody and wild, terrifying, filled with a sense of madness, looked inexplicably shocking.

Mo Hua’s gaze slightly darkened.

His previous guess was indeed correct.

The Water Prison Forbidden Box, since it contained the word ”forbidden,” in addition to being a ”forbidden item” of the Sect Leader, actually hid a forbidden technique.

And this forbidden technique was not complete; it seemed to be only halfway developed.

The question is...

Mo Hua frowned.

Who exactly is researching this forbidden technique?

The successive Sect Leaders of the Water Prison Sect, or... the Ancestor of the Water Prison Sect?

What is the direction of the research?

What kind of forbidden technique does the Water Prison Sect want to develop?

Mo Hua’s divine sense immersed into the jade slip, selecting what could be understood, and skimmed through the forbidden technique’s development manuscript, his eyes gradually widening, becoming increasingly astonished as he read.

The contents of the jade slip were profound, only revealing the gist.

This seems to be...

An attempt to combine the superior controlling Taoist skill ”Water Prison Skill,” with the top-secret ”Seven Souls Blood Prison Pupil Skill,” in the development of a forbidden technique.

Deconstructing pupil technique compositions and Water Prison skill patterns, connecting divine soul thought techniques with spiritual power spells, thereby merging into a very unusual ”forbidden Taoist skill.”

This is the underlying principle of this forbidden technique called ”Senluo Water Prison.”

”The Water Prison Sect, truly has tremendous daring...”

Mo Hua was shocked in his heart and then silently contemplated.

The Blood Pupil Skill is powerful, and so is the Water Prison Skill, but both have their respective drawbacks.

Pupil skills require an element of surprise and must not be anticipated by others.

The situations where Xiao Zhenhai and the ”Water Yama” used pupil skills were precisely like this.

The first time using the pupil skill, the opponent is caught off guard and great achievements can be made.

Every subsequent use has a diminishing effect.

After using it frequently, even a fool would be on guard against your pupil skill, easily making it ”an attempt to charm the blind,” turning this killing move into an accessory. Řå𝐍Ŏ𝔟Êṡ

Moreover, dealing with ordinary people is fine, but truly formidable enemies are invariably shrewd and cunning.

This pupil skill, if you use it once and fail to kill them,

It is no longer as effective for setting traps, at least it will be considerably restricted.

Similarly, the ”Water Prison Skill” is strong, but however strong, it is still a superior Taoist skill, sharing the drawbacks of superior Taoist skills.

It’s slow to cast and takes a long time to gather strength.

Although the Water Prison Skill is not a traditional offensive superior Taoist skill, the time to gather energy is slightly shorter.

But this time is still too long compared to the hand speed of general spells, sufficient for others to counter.

Xiao Zhenhai was in such a situation.

The first time he used the Water Prison Technique, it was unexpected, catching Uncle Gu and the Xia Canonical Official off guard, resulting in both being hit.

But the second time he used it, it was not so easy.

Even though he deliberately used the Golden Body, he was still overpowered by the prepared Uncle Gu and the Xia Canonical Official working together to break the Golden Body.

His Water Prison Skill was cut off, and he suffered a severe rebound.

Therefore, these two spells, although powerful, have their restrictions.

However, if ”Pupil Skill” and ”Water Prison Skill” could be merged as one, that would be a bit... terrifying.

Starting with the pupil skill, it’s quick to activate, has a large range, ignores the golden body, and can strongly control both the divine soul and the flesh.

When casting this spell, others do not even dare to look at you.

Because once they look, they’ll never escape again.

Not only that, it is a dual control of divine thought and the physical body.

Any cultivator hit by the ”Senluo Water Prison” would undoubtedly become a ”pig for slaughter,” with no say over life or death.

Mo Hua took a slight breath of cold air.

Moreover, he faintly felt that the power of this ”Senluo Water Prison” might not even stop there...

In the forbidden technique development manuscript, some sophisticated and esoteric skill pattern structures, that he couldn’t quite understand, seemed to hide some unknown laws.

As a result, Mo Hua had a conjecture:

Could it be that the Water Prison Sect a thousand years ago, was annihilated by the Taoist Court precisely because of the development of this forbidden technique...

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.

This was a bit terrifying.

”It shouldn’t be that serious...”

He pondered again, but these past events from a thousand years ago were too distant, and he knew little about them, making it difficult to verify even with speculation.

He didn’t even dare to calculate.

Because if it were true, the cause and effect sufficient to extinguish a Twelve Streams Sect would be too great, and he couldn’t bear it.

Then... can it be learned?

Mo Hua’s heart stirred, and he carefully reviewed this piece of forbidden technique manuscript again, but found that regarding the pupil skill and water prison skill content, he could understand a little.

But not much, only a little.

Apart from that, those profound, complex, convoluted skill pattern structures, were not within the realm of second-grade Foundation Establishment Realm Taoist skills.

Mo Hua was helpless.

”Can’t understand...”

He attempted to comprehend it several more times, but what couldn’t be understood, simply couldn’t be understood.

Mo Hua could only give up.

And besides, this is a forbidden technique after all, an undeveloped forbidden technique, one that is very profound and complex.

It absolutely cannot be casually learned.

The Meteor Fire Skill is an exception.

Mo Hua first comprehended a certain ”spiritual power underlying law,” then with the advantage of divine sense, applied the skill pattern structure of the ”Meteor Fire Skill” on this level of the spiritual power law, thus modifying it into a second-grade fire forbidden skill:

”Mini Meteorite Skill.”

But forbidden techniques cannot be compared among themselves.

He would never think that the things he comprehended could be compared with the forbidden techniques studied by the Sect Leader or even the Ancestor of a Twelve Streams Sect like the Water Prison Sect.

Learning the Mini Meteorite Skill, he made mistakes and got himself severely injured.
