The Quest for Immortality

Elder Yi was stunned.

”What is this?”

Then he immediately reacted: ”An illusion technique movement technique? This child actually has such a legacy? Where did he learn it?”

Elder Yi’s expression became stern, and he grew serious.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered Mo Hua escaping to the edge of the Dao Room, and immediately he stepped using the Yi family’s ancestral Six Harmonies Step technique, covering several meters in one step, his form mysterious, closing in on Mo Hua.

Mo Hua’s Water Shadow Illusion had just dissipated, and when he looked up, Elder Yi was reaching for him again. Instantly, a chill ran through his heart, and he once more employed Water Passing Step, moving like flowing water, slipping through Elder Yi’s hands.

Elder Yi grabbed empty air, slightly furrowing his brows, then turned swiftly, his speed increasing as he reached for the fleeing Mo Hua.

Thus, the two continued in a cycle of chase and escape for several more rounds.

Mo Hua’s movements were becoming increasingly strained.

Elder Yi’s movements, on the contrary, became faster and faster.

Even though this was a ”spar,” Elder Yi understood that his main task was to ”assist in training,” so even though he suppressed his cultivation to the Initial Golden Core stage, at first he did not go all out, allowing Mo Hua time to adapt, and then gradually increasing his speed, applying pressure on Mo Hua.

At the same time, he observed Mo Hua’s movement technique tendencies, memorizing Mo Hua’s habitual evasive maneuvers.

Taixu Gate is ranked among the Eight Great Gates.

Being an Elder of Daoist Law, apart from the family legacy, he also held profound Taoist knowledge and ample experience in Magic Battles.

Exchanges in movement techniques were naturally no challenge.

Mo Hua’s experience in Magic Battles, although already considerable, still paled in comparison to Elder Yi of the Late Golden Core Stage.

In just a moment, Elder Yi spotted a flaw in Mo Hua’s movements, his movements like the wind, he reached out, heading straight for Mo Hua’s shoulder.

Just as he was about to grab Mo Hua, Elder Yi stopped. .

He knew that the ”Water Shadow” before him was surely fake.

”The real Mo Hua...”

...is behind!

A faint Water Qi emanated from behind, Elder Yi’s eyes narrowed sharply, immediately turning around, reaching out to grab, but upon seeing, he was stunned. Ř𝔞Ｎ𝘰ꞖĚ𝐒

”Three... three Mo Huas?”

Behind him, there were three sneaky shadows, identical to Mo Hua, all shrouded in Water Mist.

”What kind of movement technique... could be so bizarre?”

Elder Yi was secretly amazed but knew now was not the time for astonishment. He swept with his Divine Sense, quickly identifying the Water Shadows, distinguishing the real from the fake.

He was at the Late Golden Core Stage, his Divine Sense much stronger.

Mo Hua could only deceive for a short time, unable to truly fool him.

Elder Yi reached out, aiming for the Mo Hua on the far right, almost touching Mo Hua’s hair when, with a flash of water light, Mo Hua slipped away again.

Even for Elder Yi, a bit of frustration flared in his heart.

This child... is truly infuriating.

Even someone like him, proficient in spells, couldn’t hold onto this slippery child; change the person, and facing such a movement technique, even catching a glimpse would be impossible, let alone touching a corner of clothing, it would drive one to spit blood.

”No wonder the Ancestor values this disciple...”

Now Elder Yi became truly serious.

His aura surged, harmonizing with the Yi number, seemingly real and illusory, his actions speedier by a considerable margin.

Mo Hua’s expression changed, only feeling Elder Yi’s aura suddenly become powerful, like a Bone-eating Maggot, dogging his every step, forcing him to go all out, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

”This is the power of the Golden Core...”

The pressure on Mo Hua increased sharply, losing his previously unflustered mindset, pushing his movement technique to its limit, fleeing frantically under Elder Yi’s grasp.

He could no longer care about appearances, using any embarrassing maneuvers like somersaults and rolls, exerting all his strength to evade Elder Yi’s capture.

However, operating the movement technique with full power for such an extended period was consuming a massive amount of Spiritual Power.

Mo Hua’s Spiritual Power was already insufficient, and with the continuous use of Water Passing Step and Water Shadow Illusion, he was running low on Spiritual Power.

After several more rounds, a flaw appeared for Elder Yi to exploit.

”Caught you!”

Elder Yi’s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, reaching for Mo Hua.

Mo Hua employed Water Shadow Illusion, his form flashed, transforming into three Water Mist figures, but this move had already been used before Elder Yi.

Repeated moves couldn’t fool this experienced Elder of Daoist Law.

Elder Yi was prepared, and when he saw this movement technique, without hesitation, he pointed directly at the middle figure.

”Now, let’s see where you...”

With a point, the Water Shadow shattered, dissolving into a splash of Water Qi.

Mid-sentence, Elder Yi choked, somewhat stunned.

”Guess wrong?”

Impossible...

He clearly saw Mo Hua hiding in the middle Water Shadow after splitting his illusions; how could it be wrong?

Almost simultaneously, Elder Yi pointed at the Water Shadows on both sides, but with this point, all the Water Shadows dissolved into Water Mist, dissipating.

All three Water Shadows had been dispelled.

Yet in the arena, Mo Hua’s figure was absent.

Elder Yi’s mouth twitched, ”Where is he?”

”This kid... where did he run off to? How did he disappear...”

After a moment’s pause, Elder Yi instantly understood.

”Concealment Technique!”

While using the Water Shadow movement technique, splitting illusions to confuse him, Mo Hua also employed a Concealment Technique to secretly escape.

Elder Yi felt a tingle on his scalp.

This kid is as sly as a ghost. Using illusion techniques for distraction followed by a quick escape with a Concealment Technique...

But this is in the Dao Room, such a large space, and a Concealment Technique won’t allow an escape out of here.

Elder Yi released his Divine Sense, sweeping carefully, and indeed found a faint, flickering figure in a corner.
