The Quest for Immortality

”Mo Hua?”

”Yes,” Wenren Wei nodded, pointing to the chaotic inner chamber, he solemnly said, ”I’ve seen Young Master Mo paint similar formations, and I’ve also seen Young Master Mo dispel the sinister evil energy. Although I don’t know how exactly Young Master Mo does it, it seems he has some methods, or perhaps he knows some secrets; maybe he can save Young Master Changhuai...”

There were some words Wenren Wei didn’t say much of.

But he remembered it very clearly.

Previously, when Mo Hua was keeping watch for Young Master Yu and dispelling evil spirits, the cold sinister evil energy he sensed was even more intense than today.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a single aura.

Endless waves of evil energy, like a tide, made one’s heart palpitate.

Yet Young Master Mo, with his frail figure, stood steadfast in front of Young Master Yu, unwavering.

Standing alone against countless evils.

This scene seemed engraved in his mind.

Wenren Wan frowned.

Elder Gu Hong was also puzzled, ”Mo Hua... this child is only at Foundation Establishment, right? And isn’t he a Formation Master? When did he also cultivate a method to dispel evil and ward off spirits?”

The cultivators of Mystery Valley looked at one another in dismay.

”Mo Hua, could he possibly be... the Array Leader, first in the Array Competition?”

”Is he also proficient in the Divine Thought Skill?”

”Impossible, the path of Divine Thought takes years of dedicated cultivation to reach even a basic level. He’s only in his twenties, hasn’t even graduated from the Sect, how could he possibly find enough time to both cultivate and study formations extensively enough to also master the path of Divine Thought?”

”Moreover, he’s just at Foundation Establishment...”

Wenren Wei looked steadily at Wenren Wan.

Wenren Wan hesitated slightly, then nodded, ”I’ll go with you to Taixu Gate to bring Mo Hua, and let him take a look.”

She was also unsure if Mo Hua could indeed ”dispel evil.”

But she knew Mo Hua was a prodigy, possessed exceptional skills, and had many clever ideas. Even if he couldn’t resolve it himself, he might have other solutions; trying wouldn’t hurt.

Elder Gu Hong was momentarily stunned, but did not obstruct them.

The situation with Changhuai was critical, and they had no choice but to take a chance.

Thus, Wenren Wan entrusted Yu Er to Elder Gu Hong, and personally went with Wenren Wei to Taixu Gate.

Inside Taixu Gate.

Mo Hua was drawing a formation, still feeling uneasy, contemplating whether to visit the Gu Family when he heard the Elder say someone was looking for him.

When Mo Hua arrived at the mountain gate, he saw the anxious expression of Wenren Wan.

”Mo Hua...”

Wenren Wan hesitated on how to start, but Mo Hua asked, ”Is it about Uncle Gu? Has he encountered something evil?”

Wenren Wan was taken aback, ”How did you know?”

When cultivating the Emotionless Path, I had a premonition... Mo Hua thought to himself.

Of course, he wouldn’t say it out loud, merely saying, ”I sent a message to Uncle Gu, and since he didn’t reply, I guessed something might have happened.” S̈

Wenren Wan nodded, ”Then...”

”Don’t worry, I’ll go and take a look.” Mo Hua said calmly.

Wenren Wan, seeing Mo Hua’s composed demeanor, for some reason felt much at ease herself.

”Alright, sorry for the trouble.” Wenren Wan said.

Then Mo Hua took the Gu family’s carriage, driven by Wenren Wei, and rushed towards Qingzhou City like the wind.

However, Tai Xu City was still half a day’s journey from Qingzhou City.

This trip back and forth took a whole day.

During this time, in Qingzhou City, the Gu Family remained deeply worried.

They didn’t just wait passively but instead contacted various acquaintances, inviting numerous extraordinary individuals to take a look, yet all to little avail.

The path of Divine Thought is inherently obscure.

There are very few cultivators who practice the Divine Thought Skill.

With such limited time, finding a Divine Thought cultivator capable of ”dispelling evil” in just a day or two was practically impossible.

The people called upon who were ”inadequate” could leave unscathed.

But those with some capability ended up in the same state as ”Mr. Mei.”

After a few more Divine Thought cultivators went ”mad,” the hearts of the people became somewhat intimidated.

And Mr. Mei also awakened.

Upon waking, he opened his eyes wide, revealing an expression of horror:

”Quick, send a message back to Mystery Valley, ask the Valley Master to send a few Elders, no, several Feather Transformation uncles!”

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.

A cultivator frowned, ”Mr. Mei, what exactly did you encounter? What kind of sinister evil is inside Young Master Gu?”

Mr. Mei was dripping with cold sweat.

A terrifying image appeared in his mind. It was far beyond ordinary evil spirits, or rather, couldn’t even be considered an evil spirit.

Horns, black blood, a colossal entity...

Such ”evil spirits” could not even be compared to it.

It might even be...

Cold sweat started to gather in Mr. Mei’s palms.

The other two Mystery Valley cultivators also furrowed their brows, ”Mr. Mei, did you engage with this entity? What are its capabilities?”

Mr. Mei shook his head with a bitter smile, ”Not really engaged... just a glimpse, and my divine soul was in turmoil, evil thoughts overwhelmed me, and I was defeated.”

”If I hadn’t realized something was amiss and prepared beforehand, with the protection of Mystery Valley’s treasures, plus the courage from the realgar wine, I might not have returned at all...”

”As for what this evil object is truly capable of...” Mr. Mei’s expression became increasingly bitter, ”I am simply not qualified to find out.”

On hearing this, everyone was somewhat alarmed.

”Then what grade is this thing?”

”It’s not a matter of grade,” Mr. Mei said, ”An existence like this is fundamentally different from typical evil spirits and cannot be measured by grades.”

”This...”

Several others frowned.

”So what should we do now?”

Mr. Mei contemplated for a long time, and finding no solution, he sighed:

”First figure out how to stabilize Young Master Gu’s condition, I’ll send a message back to Mystery Valley and see if we can make it in time...”
