The Quest for Immortality

But as soon as this thought arose, her heart trembled.

The day she connected the bonds of fate for Mo Hua, affected by a terrifying cause and effect, the broken red thread faintly appeared again before her eyes.

Elder Gu Hong looked deeply at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua didn’t notice anything but took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Elder Gu Hong, ”Sister Xia gave it, for Uncle Gu to take.”

”Sister Xia...” Elder Gu Hong hesitated, ”Was it that girl just now?”

”You saw her?”

”I saw her.”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then said in a lowered voice, ”With Uncle Gu, wouldn’t she be quite suitable?”

Elder Gu Hong was stunned, then her eyes brightened, but she soon sighed, ”Cut from the same mold, both with a cold exterior and warm interior, one handsome, the other beautiful, quite a match, but... Changhuai is unworthy...”

Mo Hua disagreed, ”Why is Uncle Gu unworthy?”

Elder Gu Hong sighed, ”That’s the Xia family, an ancient family above the fifth grade, a heavenly chasm separates them from ordinary fifth-grade families. Moreover, our Gu family, by strength, counts at most as a quasi-fifth rank, if judged by formal assessment, we might even be considered a fourth-grade.”

Mo Hua was surprised, ”Is the Xia family that formidable?” .

Elder Gu Hong’s gaze was serious, ”Such an ancient family, one doesn’t know how many old monsters are hidden, their foundation is frighteningly deep, the waters run unfathomably deep, and what you see is just a tip of the iceberg.”

Mo Hua clicked his tongue but after thinking, still said, ”If it’s meant to be, it could still happen.”

Elder Gu Hong sighed, ”I hope so.”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Mhm.”

Elder Gu Hong silently glanced at Mo Hua again, thinking to herself, this child, always eager to connect others’ fates, yet his own destiny might be even more extraordinary.

In the future, who knows how much hardship and obstacles await, one heavy chasm after another...

But these words, she kept in her heart, unspoken.

Gu Changhuai awoke, and Mo Hua felt relieved.

The Gu family sent a heap of gifts to Mo Hua as compensation.

Mo Hua did not initially want to accept them.

This matter was merely a small effort, and besides, the true ”compensation,” he had already received, and on regular days, he received much care from the Gu family.

Wenren Wan advised him, ”If you don’t take it, everyone in the Gu family will feel embarrassed.”

Mo Hua had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

Sometimes having good connections is troublesome too, many people are eager to send gifts, and you can’t refuse.

After receiving the pile of gifts, Mo Hua returned to Taixu Gate.

Upon returning to the Sect, the first thing Mo Hua did was to enter seclusion in the Disciple’s Residence, submerging his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness.

Soon, at 1 a.m., the Taoist Stele appeared.

Mo Hua then extracted the God-skeleton he had drawn out from Uncle Gu’s Sea of Consciousness, which he had slain and roughly refined.

The God-skeleton is unlike ordinary Evil Spirits.

Even when slain, it still holds the origin of an Evil God and cannot be casually consumed, or it would instead pollute one’s Divine Soul.

Mo Hua used the Robbery Thunder from the Taoist Stele to annihilate the God-skeleton, ”sanitizing” it.

Afterward, as expected, brilliant golden Divine Marrow was refined out.

Mo Hua was overjoyed.

All this time, he had been using the God-skeleton without seeing any ”income,” and now he finally had a harvest.

Mo Hua no longer hesitated and swallowed the God-skeleton into his stomach.

Instantly his Divine Thought into the four limbs and hundred bones, as if nourished by sweet dew, gradually grew stronger again, and the gold in the Divine Thought body also became purer.

The fine wounds on the Divine Thought healed partially.

The integration of Taixu’s origin and the Divine Soul also became more thorough.

And his realm of Divine Thought Taoism was climbing step by step.

So much so that Mo Hua couldn’t help but think, if he could find a way to continually kill God-skeletons and eat Divine Marrow, continuing to ”eat” like this...

Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before he could break through the bottleneck of Heaven Yan Jue and reach Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Even the fusion of Taixu’s origin with his own Life Soul would speed up, and the progress of the Godslaying Sword would advance by leaps and bounds...
