The Quest for Immortality

This has stirred up public anger again.

”No... I was just joking, did he really squat in the inner city?”

”The teammates are fighting desperately, and he’s hiding?”

”At least go out and throw a few fireballs. Hiding here, sneaking around, what’s he doing?”

”Afraid to die?”

Amidst the heated discussions, a few sharp-eyed cultivators said:

”Is Mo Hua setting up a formation?” .

Someone sneered, ”How hard is it to set up a formation?”

”They are all pre-made.”

”The formations for the sword discussion are all drawn in advance, reviewed by the elders, and then carried inside. You just set them up during the battle, but does it take so long to squat there and tinker?”

Formations are powerful, but they take too long to prepare.

Historically, cultivators have always prepared formations in advance for battles, setting them up beforehand.

Otherwise, preparing a formation during the battle would be too late.

The Sword Discussion Conference is no exception.

Mo Hua squatting there, ”tinkering” for a long time, claiming to be setting up a formation, but to others, it looks like he’s ”dragging his feet,” thorough idling”

”He’s being so passive and slack in battle, is Taixu Gate really not going to do anything?”

”Can Taixu Gate really tolerate this?”

”I bet he isn’t the Sect Leader’s illegitimate child, the Sect Leader is his illegitimate child. Otherwise, why would he be treated like ’a dad’...

The sword discussion continues.

Taixu Gate, already at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Also at a disadvantage in the competition format.

In a situation of compounded disadvantages, there’s a certain ”Crown Prince” engaging in passive resistance.

The outcome of the battle is self-evident.

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Qi was like a rainbow, unstoppable, breaking through two city gates in succession, passed through the outer city, and charged towards the inner city.

This process was simple, easy, and natural.

Linghu Xiao and others fought with all their might, struggling to resist.

But their efforts, apart from delaying for a while, did not cause a single ripple.

Soon, they were defeated step by step and forced back to the inner city.

The five disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect gathered outside the gates of the inner city.

This was the final line of defense.

As long as they broke through the gate in front of them, attacked the inner city, entered the main hall, killed all the Taixu Gate disciples in their way, and chopped down the statue of the City Lord, this round of sword discussion would be won.

The Heavenly Sword Sect would win another round, stepping closer to the position of the leader among the Four Great Sects in the sword discussion.

This was yet another crushing victory.

”Taixu Gate is going to lose again...”

This thought also surfaced in the minds of a majority of cultivators outside the

Arena.

Moreover, losing seemed increasingly natural.

Without a hint of ebb and flow.

Some cultivators outside sighed, starting to find it boring.

”Watching this kind of sword discussion is really a waste of time...”

”I could guess what’s going to happen next with my eyes closed...”

”It’s nothing but the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples breaking the gate, charging in, a fierce battle, then Linghu Xiao and the others being slain...

”Then that brat Mo Hua would press the Dao Discussion Jade again and flee far away.”

”And then the Heavenly Sword Sect would chop down the City Lord’s statue, and it’s over...”

”The gap between the Four Great Sects and Taixu Gate is still too big, Taixu Gate simply can’t win...”

On the Shangguan Family’s viewing platform.

Yu Er hung his head, his little face full of disappointment.

Wenren Wan gently patted Yu Er’s head, whispering comfortingly.

Zhang Lan and the others also looked a bit despondent.

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy for a moment.

In the arena of the sword discussion, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had already activated the Sky Star Sword, the pure white Sword Qi carrying incredible force, fiercely striking at the gate.

Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, and Ouyang Xuan all stepped forward to block.

Linghu Xiao also activated the Chongxu Sword Qi, counteracting the Sword Qi of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

But the Sword Qi of the Heavenly Sword Sect was too overwhelmingly strong. The five working together, with their Sword Qi supported by celestial power, rolled in like an unstoppable force, impossible to block head-on.

Cheng Mo and the others retreated in defeat one after another.

Linghu Xiao was also unable to hold alone.

The pure white Sky Star Sword Qi, one wave after another, struck the gate, just

Like hacking at the hearts of related cultivators of Taixu Gate.

Every sword strike made their hearts quiver.

Once the gate was broken, this match would be over.

All that follows would be meaningless.

Many people did not want this gate to be broken, did not want Taixu Gate to

Lose.

But more people were waiting for that moment when the gate would be

Broken.

Waiting for the moment when Taixu Gate’s disciples would be cut down one by

One under the sword.

Time passed slowly in such tense indecision.

The disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect continued to strike at the gate with

Sword Qi.

The gate kept ”struggling” to hold on.

But after a long time of striking, the gate still hadn’t been broken...

In the viewing stands, people began to look at each other, feeling something

Was amiss.

After a while longer, the disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect were still striking the

Gate.

The gate silently endured the assault of all the Sky Star Sword Qi, seemingly about to shatter at any moment, but after a long time, there was still no

Movement.

This gate seemed as if it was made of ”iron.”

At this point, everyone’s expressions changed.

”What the heck...”

”Is there something wrong with this gate?”

”It’s not the gate that’s wrong, it’s the formation on the gate... seems kind of

Off?”

Then some cultivators proficient in formations, or some sects’ Elders of Formation Arts, carefully examined the formation glow on the gate, faintly discernible beneath the dense Sword Qi.

A close look, and someone was shocked, standing up abruptly:

”High-Rank Formation!!”

”Taixu Gate is using a High-Rank Formation in the sword discussion?!”

The scene went silent for a moment, then erupted into an uproar.

It was as if a stone had stirred up a thousand waves.

The crowd became completely noisy.

”Second Grade High-Level Formation?!”

”What a joke?”

”Aren’t the formations in the sword discussion limited to Second Grade

Middle-Level?”

”This isn’t according to the rules...”

”Cheating?”

”Taixu Gate cheating?”
