The Quest for Immortality

Not only Feng Zichen, but by now, almost all the cultivators outside the arena have noticed.

They looked at Mo Hua within the sword discussion arena, whose figure was as graceful and natural as water, and not a corner of his garment was torn under the airtight sword lights and slashes. Their hearts were filled with an indescribable shock.

This surge of shock stuck in their throats, leaving them unable to utter a single word.

A top-tier movement technique?!

This Mo Hua, does he possess an extraordinary movement technique that surpasses the top-tier talents of Qianxue?

Is his movement technique actually stronger than the extraordinary talents from Carefree Sect and the Feng family?

This... how could it be possible?

Everyone was in disbelief.

Especially the cultivators from Carefree Sect and the Feng family.

The strongest disciple among them, their strongest movement technique, was actually overshadowed by a mere Mo Hua. Emotionally and rationally, they couldn’t accept it, feeling a loss of face.

Elder Feng’s face looked extremely unsightly.

Meanwhile, his face felt burning pain.

Especially thinking about those ”high-sounding words” he said before the sword discussion, claiming that the disciples of the Feng family had top-tier movement techniques, and would definitely defeat Mo Hua this time, under the sword.

Elder Feng could hardly maintain his composure.

Great Elder Zhang watched Mo Hua on the projection screen, feeling truly stunned.

Is this the Qianxue Debate?

Is this the absolute top-tier talent?

Initially, he thought Feng Zichen’s movement technique was already extraordinarily strong among peers.

Yet unexpectedly, there’s always someone better. .

This caliber of movement technique could actually exist even above that.

”Mo Hua...”

This name seemed to carry a magical power engraved in Great Elder Zhang’s heart.

Great Elder Zhang turned his head to look at Elder Feng.

As old friends, naturally, he didn’t want to see Elder Feng embarrassed, so he sighed and remarked:

”To be honest, Brother Feng, Zichen’s talent in movement techniques is truly unmatched in my life.”

”A genius of such talent, my Zhang Family’s peer disciples can’t hope to compete.”

”The movement technique inheritance he has is far superior to our Zhang Family’s ancestral methods.”

”But... there are some things, you and I both know.”

”This is the Qian Learning State Boundary, where talents gather, each more extraordinary than the last.”

”Brother Feng, beyond the heaven, there’s another heaven, beyond the people, there’s another people...”

Great Elder Zhang put his own family in a subordinate position, praising the Feng family, while also stating facts.

Elder Feng was slightly relieved upon hearing this, contemplating for a moment and then sighed, cupping his hands towards Great Elder Zhang:

”I was too caught up in it, competed too intensely, and underestimated the talents among various sects, thus speaking arrogantly and giving Brother Zhang a laugh.”

”You overestimate, Brother Feng,” Great Elder Zhang shook his head, and then praised:

”Zichen, this child, possesses both top-tier movement techniques from two origins, the more he cultivates the more exquisite they become, with a future boundless in potential.”

”The young and talented are often arrogant; having this setback is good for tempering his temperament. There’s no need to rush too much.”

”Indeed...” Elder Feng nodded, feeling much comforted.

But at the same time, he was still very puzzled:

”Brother Zhang, Zichen, this child, possesses Carefree Sect’s Wind-Walking Steps and the Feng family’s Wind Wandering Steps—that’s already a top-tier movement technique inheritance.”

”This one called Mo Hua... what on earth is the movement technique he has learned, which is even superior to the inheritance of my Feng family and Carefree Sect?”

”Well...”

Great Elder Zhang frowned.

He raised his head again to look at Mo Hua, lost in thought, and after a moment, slowly pondered aloud:

”It is a... unique water system movement technique inheritance, but definitely not the Flowing Water Step.”

”Flowing Water Step seems like merely a guise.”

”This movement technique... turns and maneuvers within a small area, moving like water, flowing with the wave.”

”In its slow moments, it’s like a stream originating from a mountain; in its swift moments, it moves like a river rushing past...”

”In its subtle moments, it has myriad changes; when flowing, it continues incessantly...”

”Moreover, there’s some water mist enshrouding, seemingly real and illusionary, entwined and unclear...”

”It is indeed profound, containing countless subtleties, with an ancient vein; I also can’t quite discern it...”

Great Elder Zhang frowned and said.

Elder Feng nodded repeatedly.

The Zhang Family is also a movement technique family, with Great Elder Zhang being Feather Transformation, naturally possessing extraordinary insight.

But as he listened, he suddenly felt something was off.

”Brother Zhang...”

Elder Feng scrutinized Mo Hua, then turned to look at Great Elder Zhang, with a peculiar expression, unable to resist asking:

”Why do I feel like this kid is using your Zhang Family’s ’Water Passing Step’?”

Even Great Elder Zhang was truly baffled for a moment.

Behind him, Zhang Lan was tense, with a serious expression, his feet dug into the ground, desperately wishing to dig a hole to jump into.

”Water Passing Step?”

Great Elder Zhang frowned, somewhat lost.

This was truly an unanticipated possibility.

It’s not surprising he didn’t foresee it, given that...

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn’t comprehend how a disciple of Taixu Gate, the Qianxue Array Dao Leader, a top-tier talent at the sword discussion conference, could manage to traverse such a vast distance and learn his Zhang Family’s Water Passing Step?

Moreover, this Water Passing Step has outperformed Carefree Sect’s Wind-Walking Steps and the Feng family’s Trigram Wind Wandering Step.

Could his Zhang Family’s Water Passing Step really be this formidable?

He indeed wished so, but is it possible?

”Not possible...” Great Elder Zhang lightly shook his head, ”Though this kid uses a water system movement technique, the details of spiritual power flow differently, with many more changes, not resembling Water Passing Step.”

”Furthermore, Water Passing Step is our Zhang Family’s unpassed secret, how could an outsider possibly learn it?”
