The Quest for Immortality

Mo Hua was a bit unimpressed.

However...

When Mo Hua thought about it, he was suddenly startled.

The Demon Sect has merit, doesn’t that confirm...

They truly have a sect treasury? Sect secret vault? Similar ”Merit Scrolls” that can be exchanged for various cultivation resources and inheritances?

This means... someone has raised a large flock, waiting for me to shear?

The only problem is not knowing whether the inheritances of this Demon Sect are clean, and whether I, as a disciple of the Righteous Dao, can use them...

”Hopefully this Demon Sect isn’t unreasonable and has some proper things, rather than being all about demon and ghost-related Demon Path inheritances, leaving me with nothing to shear...”

Mo Hua silently thought to himself.

Then he continued to read.

...

Background: Total of twenty-five cultivators slain;

Hosted two blood banquets;

Been besieged by the Taoist Court once;

Passed on demon skills to six individuals, four in Qi Refinement, two in Foundation Establishment;

Donated Qi-refining Realm blood meals totaling six hundred and ten pounds; Donated Foundation Establishment Realm blood meals totaling sixty-seven pounds...

Due to loyalty to the sect, being cruel by nature, indiscriminately killing the innocent, having a heart of darkness, worthy of commendation, they were promoted to official disciple and granted a Sect Token...

A date was signed at the end, approximately a month ago.

Mo Hua shook his head.

Indeed, new disciples are unreliable, losing their Sect Token in just one month.

After that, there was some miscellaneous content, nothing too useful.

After reading, Mo Hua had a basic understanding of the Demon Sect.

But that was all, the core aspects were still missing.

Mo Hua always felt there should be more; logically, this Sect Token should have greater uses.

”The foundational structure of the Letter Token is the Yuan Magnetic Formation, simple ones can adapt with just two Yuan Magnetic Formations.”

”But the Sect Token is different, it’s more complex.”

”Its base, even if not a Large Formation, must certainly be a comprehensive, sizable and more advanced Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation.”

”All Sect Tokens are linked to this set of Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation.”

”Each Sect Token signifies an entry point.”

”If I can find the breach, I can connect the token to a deeper layer, to the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation that sustains the operation of the entire Demon Sect.” ṙÄƝ𝔬ᛒЕṣ

”Everything I want should be within that Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation.”

”But where’s the interface?”

Mo Hua again thoroughly searched the magnetic patterns inside the Demon Sect Token but couldn’t find the so-called ”interface.”

”Nothing?” Mo Hua frowned.

Shouldn’t be...

Without a base set of Formation eye and Formation Pivot Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation, this Sect Token’s formation can’t operate.

”Then maybe it’s not absent, just lacks permission...”

The interface between Single Formation and Compound Formation must exist.

But an ordinary Demon Sect disciple lacks the permission; this interface is likely hidden.

How to reveal the Compound Formation’s interface?

Unlock permission?

But how to unlock this permission?

Mo Hua frowned and pondered for a moment, suddenly recalling the scene when Elder Master Xun unlocked the Taixu Token permission for him.

At that time, Elder Master Xun manually adjusted his Formation Master’s grade to ”Second-grade Junior” so he could accept second-grade array’s rewards.

Even though he hadn’t undergone assessment nor held the title of a second-grade junior Formation Master.

But within the Yuan Magnetic Formation, the Fixed Magnetic Pattern has the power to ”define.”

Whatever the pattern writes, that’s what it is.

Even if it writes that he is a Fifth Grade Array Master, within the range limited by the Yuan Magnetic Formation, he indeed possesses Fifth Grade Array Master’s permissions.

”Then if I designate this ordinary disciple ’Chi Fei’ to be a Demon Sect ’Elder,’ wouldn’t he truly become an Elder and immediately soar?”

”An Elder’s permissions should be much greater...”

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, immediately deciding to try.

The Thunder Magnetic Miniature began to derive Secondary Thunder Pattern, attempting to alter Chi Fei’s identity from ”ordinary disciple” directly to ”Elder.”

But it failed.

No matter how the Thunder Magnetic Miniature’s little arms rubbed, the identity column couldn’t be changed to ”Elder.”

Mo Hua frowned.

”Is it simply unchangeable... or is the token’s grade too low?”

A common disciple’s token can’t be changed to ”Elder” identity?

Mo Hua had to give up and settle for another identity.

There are many types of disciple identities.

This ”Chi Fei” being a ”ordinary disciple,” indicates there must be disciples who are not ordinary.

The permissions of these disciples are undoubtedly higher than Chi Fei’s.

Mo Hua started testing one by one:

”True Disciple...”

No, it can be modified but the magnetic pattern doesn’t activate.

The Demon Sect doesn’t have a notion of a True Disciple?

Or is it that only this Demon Sect lacks it?

But then, it’s natural; this big demon absorbs medium demon, medium demon absorbs small demon, small demon absorbs shrimps, tier upon tier of blood sucking, akin to a ”pyramid scheme” structure of demon cultivation, there’s no need for ”True Transmission.”

Disciples are the bait, moving ”granaries” and ”blood bags.”

Mo Hua shook his head.

”True Transmission doesn’t work, then advanced disciple?”

”Still doesn’t work... then elite disciple?”

”Still doesn’t work?”

Mo Hua tried all ”entry disciple,” ”Tao student disciple,” ”direct disciple,” ”personal disciple,”... all didn’t work.

In the end, Mo Hua was left with no choice; given the nature of the Demon Sect, he made up a term ”Skill Transmission Disciple,” and the magnetic pattern shimmered, finally activating.

This progressed ”disciple” title finally allowed him to succeed.

”Skill Transmission Disciple...” Mo Hua couldn’t help but grumble, ”Even in death, they don’t forget to pass down those deceitful demon skills...”

And just as Mo Hua changed Chi Fei’s identity from ”ordinary disciple” to ”Skill Transmission Disciple,” the Demon Sect Token transformed.

The Yuan Magnetic Formation Patterns began to vibrate, deep magnetic fog started to dissipate.

Dark patterns began to light up, then converged into an interface.

Within the interface, a vast interconnected and orderly Yuan Magnetic Formation Pivot carried a massive flow of information, like rivers surging continuously.

In an instant, Mo Hua saw countless information about demon cultivators.

Some were cursing, some were raving, some were issuing orders, some were attacking, some were planning, some were exchanging demon skills, some were trading ”blood slaves”...

Such varied forms, myriad demon cultivators, each distinct.

Mo Hua was shaken within, feeling as if he was witnessing firsthand a hidden, incessantly active Demon Sect...

In a daze, he seemed to understand the marvel of the Thunder Magnetism Formation.

With such a small thing, one can sense the world’s thunder magnetism, glimpse myriad worldly phenomena, strategize and plan, all within one’s grasp.
