The Quest for Immortality

A group of Gui Water Sect Elders were discussing intensely about this:

”Is he a descendant of the Water Prison Sect?”

”Or did he inherit the legacy of the Water Prison Sect?”

”Moreover, his Water Prison Technique has manifested as many as four water prisons, indicating significant mastery over the spell, it’s certainly no ordinary legacy...”

”Indeed.” A Gui Water Sect Elder nodded.

There was also an elder with sharp eyes who said, ”Don’t be fooled by this kid, he is cunning. Just now, when he struck, his Spiritual Power flowed extremely fast, with hardly any hindrance, effortless and skillful. His Water Prison Technique, its mastery is definitely not limited to this;whether it’s six or even seven water prisons, it’s all possible...”

”A Water Prison Technique with more than six levels...”

”Even the direct disciples of the Water Prison Sect back in the day, reaching this level of mastery wouldn’t have been easy...”

”This child must have a deep connection with the Water Prison Sect!”

An elder from the Gui Water Sect, with a hooked nose, full of wrinkles, deep experience, and significant authority, hoarsely instructed:

”Investigate, find out this boy’s connection with the Water Prison Sect, and check if he’s hiding...”

He paused, didn’t say it out, but instead said, ”Check if he’s hiding... any other legacies of the Water Prison Sect.”

”Yes.”

A direct disciple took the order, just about to retreat, was stopped by the elder, who advised grimly:

”Investigate secretly, do not alert the Taixu Gate.”

The Taixu Gate is not what it used to be, and this Mo Hua is someone under the watchful eyes of the Taixu Gate’s ancestor.

”As you command...”

The direct disciple took the order and left.

The other Gui Water Sect elders were still in endless discussion.

Their prodigy of hope, Qin Cangliu, had been ambushed by Mo Hua’s Fireball Technique and suffered a resentful defeat.

The elders then began to pay attention to Mo Hua.

Unexpectedly, this attention ended up involving the ’Water Prison Technique’ and ’Water Prison Sect’, uncovering these past entanglements which shook the hearts of the high level of the Gui Water Sect.

Between Gui Water Sect and Water Prison Sect, there was no good karma.

Even though Gui Water Sect has changed its guard now, past grievances still linger.

This, Mo Hua also knew.

Once the Water Prison Technique was used, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

However, he was not afraid.

The Second Grade Water Prison Technique, at the start, he indeed found it in the Taoist Repository of the Taixu Gate.

It was still collected by a Feather Transformation elder of the Yi family, who acted chivalrously while traveling, was gifted by someone, and recorded it.

There was cause and effect, clear origins, and he was not afraid of investigation.

However, Mo Hua later got, through a ’fortunate accident’, the sect-protecting legacy of the Water Prison Sect and had contacted the Elders of the Water Prison Sect. After exchanging views, he learned the Water Prison Technique more thoroughly.

These facts should remain confidential and not be disclosed.

But these things, if he didn’t say, probably no one would know.

The sect would definitely protect him.

On the Taoist Court side, he also had acquaintances.

Even in that court, Master Xia had been ’in cahoots’ with him before.

If Gui Water Sect really went to investigate, they would likely hit barriers everywhere.

Thus, this Water Prison Technique card, could still be ’leaked’ a bit, with some risk but not too high.

Unlike other more dangerous Taoist Skills, if exposed, they might be invited by the Court Official for a ’talk’ or even end up jailed...

...

This round of Sword Discussion thus concluded.

Subsequently, Mo Hua, relying on the Water Prison Technique, won two rounds of Mystic Character Sword Discussion.

And won very easily.

Mo Hua was in control, Linghu Xiao was the main attacker, and others were assisting.

As long as the Water Prison Technique was used to control, and Linghu Xiao charged the Chongxu Sword Qi, basically, it was all over.

There was no way around it;the ’Strong Control’ of the Water Prison Technique combined with the ’Strong Attack’ of the Chongxu Sword was simply too powerful.

Moreover, this was Mo Hua’s Water Prison Technique.

His Divine Sense was absurdly strong, the spells executed with extreme swiftness, and the targeting of spells was wonderfully precise. Once he took action, hardly anyone could escape.

With his Water Prison Technique control, Linghu Xiao was like chopping ’wooden stakes’.

A sword dao genius focused on slaughter, cutting ’wooden stakes’ in the Sword Discussion Conference;that damage was simply unimaginable.

The opponents of these two rounds also tried to find ways to counter Mo Hua’s Water Prison Technique.

But the Water Prison Technique and Fireball Technique are not the same.

Fireball Technique is a ’common’ spell, only that Mo Hua mastered it well, able to interrupt, burn, seek targets, and even supplement flame damage.

A little bit of everything.

But conversely, having a little of everything also means nothing stands out.

The Water Prison Technique is different;it’s an unpopular spell, extremely tricky, with no damage at all, its core lies entirely in ’control’, and together with a little ’drowning’ suffocation, it’s incredibly annoying.

Using a Golden Body Talisman to offset the control of the Water Prison Technique makes no sense.

Because the Water Prison Technique is not a Superior Skill, it consumes little Spiritual Power and generally does not require adjustment, usable at will.

Activating a Golden Body Talisman can indeed be immune to the Water Prison Technique.

But just by delaying a little, waiting for the Golden Body Talisman to disappear.

Mo Hua uses the Water Prison Technique to control again, and Linghu Xiao cuts with Chongxu Sword Qi, basically, one strike per target, sending them all away.

Seamless Strong Control with spells, coupled with an ultra-high Sword Qi explosion, the entire team instantly felt invincible, cutting anyone with one prison one sword, and if not, another prison and another sword.

Hardly anyone could endure three rounds of alternation.

All cultivators observing were completely shocked.

Previously, those who mocked Mo Hua as the ’Crown Prince’ of Taixu Gate, a ’second-generation rich kid’ of Three Mountains, a disgrace to the Sword Discussion Conference, and who only knew how to ’pick heads’ with Fireball Technique, complaining that Taixu Gate’s ancestor was muddleheaded, the Sect Leader was incompetent, and the sect was doomed, all shut their mouths.

Only a few cultivators continued to criticize Mo Hua.

Changing their tune from mocking him for only knowing Fireball Technique to ”Doesn’t he just only know one Fireball Technique plus one Water Prison Technique?”
