The Quest for Immortality

Mo Hua was overjoyed, ”Elder Xun, you’re awake?”

Elder Xun still felt his Sea of Consciousness was muddled, his head splitting with pain, he wanted to say something, but couldn’t open his mouth.

Mo Hua quickly said, ”Don’t speak, quickly adjust your breath...”

Elder Xun nodded, then, following Mo Hua’s advice, he looked inside his meridians, adjusted his Spiritual Power, and suppressed the pain in his Sea of Consciousness.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Good that he’s awake...

And with Elder Xun awake, his own safety was assured.

Otherwise, that Mr. Tu who transformed into a human-demon, really might kill him.

”And also Master Gu and Master Fan, we need to wake them up as well...”

Mo Hua looked around, found Master Gu and Fan Jin, and repeated his old trick, tugging at their ears, calling for a long time until he finally woke them up.

”Young Master Mo...”

Master Gu’s Sea of Consciousness also experienced a series of stinging pains.

The various dangers of the nightmare had still taken a toll on their Divine Sense.

”Shh...” Mo Hua motioned for them to be quiet, turned his head and saw Shen Shouxing and Mr. Tu still fighting fiercely, and said in a low voice, ”Let’s slip away first.”

Then Xun Ziyou and the other two men joined Mo Hua and quietly left the Divine Temple together.

Mr. Tu saw this scene; he wanted to keep them, but Shen Shouxing was too strong and bent on revenge, determined to kill him, he had to go all out, not sparing a hand.

Moreover, Xun Ziyou was also awake.

He had already missed the best opportunity to destroy the corpses and eliminate the witnesses.

If Xun Ziyou really mastered the Divine Thought into Sword True Jue, then he was absolutely not a match for this inscrutable Sword Dao Elder of Taixu Gate.

Mr. Tu could only watch helplessly as Mo Hua and the others left.

Mo Hua and his group managed to safely leave the Divine Temple.

”We’re just leaving like this?” Xun Ziyou asked.

Mo Hua was also somewhat hesitant.

The Four Symbols Green Dragon Evil Formation on Shen Tuao’s body, he had only copied half of it before being interrupted by the suddenly appearing human-demon.

This human-demon was precisely Mr. Tu.

And now, Shen Tuao’s skin had been peeled off by Mr. Tu after his transformation.

The complete Four Symbols Green Dragon Evil Formation had already fallen into Mr. Tu’s hands.

This was undoubtedly planned by Mr. Tu long ago, and now he finally got what he wanted.

If he wanted this Formation Diagram, he had to snatch it back from Mr. Tu.

But he didn’t really want to turn back and get mired in this mess again.

This Mr. Tu was too strange.

Shen Shouxing, too, had gone mad.

If they continued to be entangled with them, who knew what might happen...

Many had already died in this Solitary Mountain tomb, and to be able to walk out alive was already a victory.

”When it’s time to act and you don’t, chaos will ensue...”

Mo Hua gritted his teeth and said, ”Let’s go!”

After experiencing those things in the nightmare, Xun Ziyou no longer regarded Mo Hua as merely a Foundation Establishment disciple.

Especially in such a bizarre situation, he trusted Mo Hua’s judgment even more.

Xun Ziyou nodded: ”Alright.”

Everyone then retreated from the grand hall, retracing their path, passing by the outskirts of the hall.

The outskirts of the hall were lined with rows of the extraordinarily magnificent and splendid statues of Lord Yellow Mountain.

In a sudden flash of insight, Mo Hua suddenly stopped in his tracks, his heart skipped a beat.

A Divine Statue?!

”Lord Yellow Mountain instructed me to leave this Solitary Mountain tomb, the lair of the Evil God, with his Lifebound Divine Statue, right?!”

Mo Hua couldn’t help but frown in thought.

The Lifebound Divine Statue is the foundation of a deity’s existence.

Every deity’s Lifebound Divine Statue is unique, one of a kind.

If a deity’s Lifebound Divine Statue were damaged, it could result in God Destroying Path Obliteration, the Great Dao’s complete ruin, or at the least, severe harm to the Origin, a grievous blow to Vital Energy...

This kind of thing is extremely important and cannot be revealed to anyone.

For a deity, if anything were more important than Divine Marrow, it could only be the Lifebound Divine Statue!

Why Lord Yellow Mountain didn’t say it outright might also be because he’s afraid of leaking the heavenly secret, being watched by others or other divine beings, who could seize the root by discerning the cause and effect.

Mo Hua’s heart trembled slightly.

”But where would the Mountain Lord’s Lifebound Divine Statue be hidden?”

Mo Hua raised his head, looking around the Divine Temple.

All around were densely packed, varied, and differently posed and styled statues of the Mountain God.

Some standing, some sitting, some lying, some wearing golden armor, some in splendid robes, some in scholarly attire, some draped in cloaks...

”Is Lord Yellow Mountain’s Lifebound Divine Statue hidden among these statues?”

He had built so many statues not for opulence but rather in anticipation of an impending crisis, hence ”hiding a tree in the forest,” using these countless ”false statues” to hide his ”Lifebound Divine Statue” from being discovered by others? .

Mo Hua thought the more likely it seemed.

”Mo Hua, what’s wrong?” Xun Ziyou noticed Mo Hua suddenly standing still, deep in thought, and asked aloud.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Hua said, ”Elder Xun, help me find a Divine Statue.”

”A Divine Statue?”

”Yes.” Mo Hua nodded.

Mr. Tu and Shen Shouxing were locked in deadly combat; there was still time. He needed to find Lord Yellow Mountain’s Lifebound Divine Statue and take it out of the Solitary Mountain tomb.

This was the task entrusted to him by Lord Yellow Mountain before he died.

In the nightmare, Lord Yellow Mountain helped him and saved him.

If not for him perishing along with the Evil Embryo, he and his companions might never have escaped the nightmare.

And the matter of Solitary Mountain involved many calculations, significant stakes, and too many variables.

If he didn’t search now, once they left the Divine Temple, he might never have the chance to return.

Lord Yellow Mountain’s Lifebound Divine Statue would then be buried with the temple at the bottom of this Solitary Mountain mass grave, never to see the light of day.

Moreover, he had given him a ”great gift.”

By emotion and reason, this Lifebound Divine Statue had to be found.

Xun Ziyou saw Mo Hua’s resolute expression and didn’t ask more questions; he nodded and then asked:
