The Quest for Immortality

”You want to kill, cheat people, double-cross, everything is according to your wishes.”

”These are the experiences I’ve summarized after hundreds of years, struggling in the Cultivation World, working with various cultivators, licking blood on the blade’s edge, and snatching food from the tiger’s mouth.”

”Your Formation is too excellent, I can’t keep you, so you must die.”

”Remember, if there’s a next life, make sure to remember this point...”

Mr. Pi injected Spiritual Power into the dagger, the blade shimmering with a sinister green and deadly glow.

In Mo Hua’s terrified and desperate gaze, Mr. Pi, with a grim smile, effortlessly stabbed the dagger into the chest of this Formation genius.

He was very adept at these movements.

Erasing a Formation genius also gave this shady old Formation Master a dark thrill.

But in just a moment, the grim smile on Mr. Pi’s face suddenly froze.

His dagger pierced Mo Hua’s chest, but no blood flowed out, only a mass of mist.

Mo Hua’s face was no longer filled with fear, no longer despairing. Instead, he eerily smiled at Mr. Pi.

This smile instantly gave Mr. Pi goosebumps.

”Oh no!”

Mr. Pi’s eyes widened, and he immediately turned around, but just as his head was halfway turned, a flicker of fire appeared at the corner of his eye.

This flicker of fire was different from ordinary flames.

Deep, eerie, and filled with violent Spiritual Power. Just the faint pressure it emitted made Mr. Pi’s hair stand on end.

What... is this...

Mr. Pi wanted to struggle, but in that split second, he had no chance to react, the burning sensation on his back had already come.

The flames were devouring his flesh.

At the same time, a gentle voice came: ”Thanks for the guidance, senior. Among a group, there can only be one Formation Master. I’ve learned.”

Mr. Pi’s heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, he was left with only one thought:

”Damn, overturned. Played the goose, and got pecked in the eye...”

In the next instant, the flames exploded, raging and rampant, like a condensed fiery dragon, bursting from Mr. Pi’s back, burning his organs, evaporating his blood, piercing right through his chest, carving a trail of blood and fire in the air, whistling out. ℞ÃꞐꝊꞖĘṢ

Mini Meteorite Skill!

When the fire extinguished, Mr. Pi slowly knelt on the ground, his internal organs were all burned to ash, already devoid of any vitality.

Mr. Pi was dead.

Now, among this group, only one Formation Master remained.

And this Formation Master, naturally, was Mo Hua.

After killing Mr. Pi, Mo Hua turned his head to look to the side.

Beside him, Shen Qingsheng had awakened at some unknown time. Not knowing what he had seen, he was sitting on the ground, his face filled with terror and disbelief.

Mo Hua, with an indifferent expression, gestured for him to keep silent, warning:

”You saw nothing. Dare say a word, and you’ll die.”

Shen Qingsheng only felt a chill surge up his heart, couldn’t help but shiver, incredulously thinking:

”What on earth is this Mo Hua...”

Mo Hua didn’t bother him, but began thinking about how to clean up afterward.

After a moment of thought, Mo Hua took Mr. Pi’s storage bag and some possibly useful items from him and packed them onto himself.

Then Mo Hua searched nearby and finally found a mechanism at a passage. This mechanism was designed to kill, consisting of a giant stone roller that would crush anyone entering the tomb.

When entering, Mr. Pi had noticed this mechanism, and specifically avoided it.

But now he’s dead, he couldn’t avoid it.

Mo Hua dragged Mr. Pi’s corpse, placing it onto the mechanism’s slot.

In an instant, the mechanism activated, the slot jolted fiercely, flinging Mr. Pi’s body into the air.

A sound of whistling came from afar, three fiery crossbow bolts pierced through the air, with great force, deeply nailing into Mr. Pi’s body, then along with the crossbow bolts, flew to the end of the passage.

At the end was a stone roller, which clamped shut, directly crushing Mr. Pi’s corpse into a meat patty, blood burst out, staining the stone roller.

Mo Hua hurriedly covered his eyes, grumbling inwardly:

”I don’t know who designed this tomb, so cruel...”

So cruel that he wasn’t willing to look.

However, Mr. Pi was a tomb robber, disturbing the dead’s peace in life, robbed so many tombs, finally dying from the tomb’s mechanism, was considered a fitting end.

Mo Hua nodded, then retraced his path to the tomb door.

Shen Qingsheng looked at Mo Hua’s figure, as if gazing at a demon.

Mo Hua glanced at him, Shen Qingsheng instantly turned ashen, cradled his head, curled up on the ground, dared not look at Mo Hua again.

Only then was Mo Hua satisfied, then he put back on the Second Grade shackles he had unlocked, carefully restoring the Formation Patterns on the shackles.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged, beginning to check Mr. Pi’s storage bag.

Mr. Pi’s storage bag, he had longed to obtain. Unexpectedly, it came to him so quickly.

This happened because Mr. Pi was too narrow-minded, too impatient.

Mo Hua shook his head, continuing to rummage through the storage bag.

Besides Spirit Stones, Barrier Breaking Pills, Evil Extinguishing Pills, Filth Repelling Pills, and other commonly used tomb entry pills, most were items of Formation Master heritage.

Such as Compass, Jade Slip, Formation Books, Formation Diagram, and so on...

Mo Hua skimmed through them, then suddenly his heart was struck.

This Mr. Pi seemed to be a disciple of the Earth Sect...

His heritage came from Kun State’s Great Sect—Earth Sect.

”Earth Sect...”

Mo Hua thought deeply.

This name wasn’t unfamiliar; he even possessed a secret Ultimate Formation from Earth Sect—

A First Grade Eleven Pattern Thick Earth Ultimate Formation.

When learning Thick Earth Ultimate Formation, his mentor seemed to have mentioned some origins of Earth Sect.

Earth Sect is one of the largest sects in Kun State.

How large exactly, his mentor didn’t say. But even with his mentor’s insight, saying this sect is ”very large,” it’s estimated to be above Fifth grade sect.

And Kun State, like Qian State, is also a large state.

Kun State is more fertile, wealthy families to the extreme.

One of the largest sects in Kun State, its financial power and heritage might be stronger than the Four Great Sects of the Qianxue State Boundary.

Of course, there’s one thing about Earth Sect that left a deep impression on Mo Hua.

It’s that diagram, said to be Earth Sect’s treasure, passed down for tens of thousands of years, containing strong Taoist Meaning, invaluable, thus coveted by the Taoist Court, had to split in two ancient Contemplation Map—

”Emperor Heaven and Earth Diagram”!
