The Quest for Immortality

Of course, most importantly, with a Third Grade Divine Remains and the ’legacy’ of an Evil Embryo, he can continue refining the Divine Marrow, devour Divine Thoughts, and unravel the Mystery Formation.

Thus, after another half month, at 1 a.m., Mo Hua sat in meditation at the Disciple’s Residence, his Divine Sense sinking into the Sea of Consciousness, as always working on unraveling the Mystery Formation.

But today, something was different.

Because today, he could finally finish unraveling the Mystery Formation. This also meant that the bottleneck at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment with the Heaven Yan Jue would be broken through tonight.

He was about to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Mo Hua began to solve the last Mystery Formation with trembling hands.

As his fingers traced, the golden Patterns of Divine Thought threaded through the Mystery Formation, forming Formation Patterns to unravel it, deconstructing, collapsing, and dissipating little by little...

Finally, with the last stroke drawn, the last golden Pattern settled, and the ’mystery formation’ that was the bottleneck of the Heaven Yan Jue transformed into golden threads, completely dissipating.

At that moment, Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness became suddenly clear.

The Qi Sea was no longer suppressed by the bottleneck.

Spiritual Power circulated on its own, forming a cycle, and flowed into Mo Hua’s Qi Sea.

The meridians throughout his body also felt a tinge of ’thirst’.

Mo Hua immediately opened his eyes, took out the Spirit Stones he had prepared, crushed them all, and inhaled them through breathing techniques. They circulated through the cycle, got refined one by one, and settled into the Qi Sea.

Mo Hua felt his Spiritual Power increase again, a feeling he had missed for a long time.

His Sea of Consciousness was gradually expanding, and the level of his Divine Sense was continuously rising...

He didn’t know how long it took, but finally, as the Qi Sea filled up, the Sea of Consciousness brightened, and the meridians stabilized, the Spiritual Power Cycle was completed.

Mo Hua opened his eyes, with a peculiar glow in them, and his aura had increased significantly.

Late Stage of Foundation Establishment!

He finally broke through!

The entire breakthrough process was rather smooth.

But the prerequisite for this smoothness was all the effort and arrangements he had made previously, along with enduring hard battles, first killing the Divine Corpse, then slaying the Evil Embryo, which allowed for such a smooth breakthrough. 𝙧άɴȱʙÊṧ

”Tao cultivation is really not easy...”

Mo Hua sighed with emotion.

Fortunately, Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard; he has finally become a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In front of a group of Junior Brothers, he can finally stand tall.

Mo Hua introspected himself and examined his current strength status:

His physical body had become slightly stronger—though it didn’t really make a difference.

His Spiritual Power felt a bit more substantial—however, compared to his fellow disciples who frequently had Top-Grade, Superior-Grade Spiritual Roots, and Cultivation Techniques, the gap was still quite large.

The only thing that remained outstanding was his Divine Sense, which, as always, was far ahead.

The peak of the Nineteen Patterns...

Because he had devoured the immense Divine Thought of the Third Grade Divine Remains and Evil Embryo remnants, coupled with the enhancement afforded by the breakthrough to late stage Foundation Establishment, Mo Hua’s Divine Sense took a big step forward above its previous limit.

Now his Divine Sense was approaching the twenty Patterns limit infinitely.

Mo Hua even felt that given another opportunity, he could surpass this boundary and genuinely possess a Divine Sense at the Twenty Patterns Realm.

Late Stage Foundation Establishment... Divine Sense Core Formation.

Mo Hua was momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected that the day of Divine Sense Core Formation would be so near, almost seeming unreal.

Back in the Qi-refining Realm, when building the Divine Sense Foundation, he had expended tremendous effort, meticulously painting Formations day by day, and grinding away slowly.

But looking back, it could be due to the reason that Qianxue State Boundary hosted a Great Wilderness Evil God.

The Great Wilderness Evil God was so resource-rich, he indulged excessively and almost unconsciously approached Divine Sense Core Formation.

And not only that.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense delved into the Sea of Consciousness, lowering his gaze towards his Divine Thought incarnation.

After refining a Third Grade Divine Corpse and a Second Grade Evil Embryo successively, and devouring a large amount of Divine Marrow, his Divine Thought had now turned into an almost pure golden color.

Almost pure gold, yet there were still traces of impurities.

This hue was already terrifying; at least Mo Hua hadn’t seen such pure ’golden’ on any deity-like existence he had encountered.

Even Lord Yellow Mountain didn’t have it.

As for the Little Silver Fish, it was just silver.

Regarding gold above this, Mo Hua had only heard Lord Yellow Mountain talk about it, having no substantial concept about it himself.

”Next step, is it to remove impurities and refine my Divine Thought into pure gold?”

”And then what?”

Mo Hua was somewhat clueless.

And thinking about Divine Marrow, Mo Hua recalled the words spoken to him not long ago by that Third Grade Blood-Colored Divine Corpse.

That Divine Corpse said he was clueless about ’Dao Hua’, said his ’Dao’ was in shambles...

Mo Hua felt a bit unhappy, but upon careful reflection, he believed that the Third Grade Divine Corpse was probably telling the truth.

His understanding of ’Divine Sense Sublimation’ indeed needed deepening, the strength of Divine Sense required more honing, and his whole inheritance needed gradual mastery.

That Divine Corpse did want to kill him, but it also reminded him.

The key is... why did it remind him, why tell him such things?

Wasn’t it the Divine Corpse of the Master of the Great Wilderness?

Mo Hua recalled the bits and pieces of interacting with that Blood-Colored Divine Corpse, and suddenly discovered a problem:

”Blood...”

Other Divine Corpses, although cruel, bloodthirsty, and life-devouring, possessing Blood Shadows, did not, like this Divine Corpse, possess such a heavy ’blood’ base color, even having its life’s Divine Skill as a ’Blood Slaughter Blade’ condensed from the Tao of blood.

”Its Dao involves blood...”

”This doesn’t seem to be the ’Dao’ of the Great Wilderness Evil God?”

Mo Hua frowned.

Things seemed to be getting more complicated...

But regarding Evil Gods, the paths of deities, Dao Laws, and similar things, he did not know much yet and hadn’t encountered many. .

Thinking about these now wouldn’t help much either.

”I’ll think about it later...”

”At least I’ve reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment now...”

Satisfied, Mo Hua put aside other thoughts and rested peacefully once more.
