The Quest for Immortality

Even though he and his Uncle had diverged in Dao and were destined to part ways at some crossroads...

Thinking of this, Mo Hua’s mood inexplicably became somewhat heavy.

Then he completely extinguished all thoughts related to ”Uncle,” avoiding excessive contemplation that might truly arouse Uncle’s perception.

Compared to the title of ”Taoist,” the causal ties of ”Uncle” are much more diluted.

Mo Hua even speculated that, for some reason, Uncle’s true self might not even be aware of the existence of this ”little nephew.”

But Uncle is, after all, Uncle, so caution must prevail.

As long as it is certain that his understanding of ”Dao, Law, Formation” is viable, and that there is a path to take and direction to follow, that would suffice.

”Forget about Uncle, forget about Uncle...”

Mo Hua gathered his thoughts, calmed his emotions, and then continued, commencing research on formations and Taotie’s power.

As his comprehension of formations deepened, his understanding of laws became more thorough.

His research into Taotie’s power naturally also became more profound.

Mo Hua gradually felt as if he had grasped some intrinsic nature of the ”law of famine.”

However, he subsequently faced another very complex problem.

This was an issue on the level of ”law”:

The Taotie’s power causing the Great Wilderness famine to spread might be fundamentally different from the law of the twenty-three patterns of the Taotie Absolute Formation he had obtained from Shugubu.

And the law of the Shugubu twenty-three patterns Taotie Formation might also be different from that of the Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation.

This meant that the law related to ”Taotie” that he had currently come into contact with cannot be unified.

The corresponding three types of formations: the famine Taotie Formation, the Shugubu Taotie Formation, the Spiritual Corpse Taotie Formation, might also be disjointed.

This made Mo Hua very puzzled.

The Taotie represented by famine might be related to the laws of hunger and death.

So what does the Taotie from Shugubu signify?

And what law is contained within the Taotie Spirit Formation?

Why are they all ”Taotie,” yet there is such a significant disparity?

What secret is hidden in this?

How should the origin of this ”Taotie” be understood?

What indeed is the essential law of ”Taotie”?

Mo Hua frowned deeply, the deeper the research, the more perplexing it felt, and he even felt that he might have wandered into another dead-end.

The law of ”Taotie” is ferocious and profound, with countless entanglements.

It was very difficult for him to pull out a ”thread” from it right now, to peel away the layers, thoroughly investigate, and explore Taotie’s core.

Mo Hua could only endure patiently, continually replicating the Ultimate Formation, understanding the power of Taotie within the famine.

But soon, this realization faced a ”bottleneck.”

Because the Qi of famine did not manifest in the form of ”formation.”

Or, Mo Hua simply did not know what kind of formation this ”famine Taotie Formation” actually was or how it was constructed.

Knowing ”formation,” but not knowing ”law,” learning only the form without understanding the essence, at least allows some imitation.

Mo Hua was now exactly the opposite.

He gained some early understanding of the ”law” of the famine, but had not seen the famine as the ”formation” serving as a carrier.

Hence the ”law” lacks a carrier, a medium, and cannot merge with the ”formation.”

The mere comprehension of law, without the application, is useless.

This issue was equally tricky.

”Where can the formation patterns that cause famine be found?”

”In the depths of the spreading famine?”

Mo Hua pondered for a while, considering whether to forge some Spiritual Artifacts or Taoist Robes to suppress the ”famine,”

Wearing these robes, carrying these artifacts, to withstand Taotie’s power, he could delve deeper into the heart of the spreading famine.

In the core area of the famine, searching for traces of ”formation.”

As long as he could find these, the formation patterns initiating ”famine,” it might become possible to merge ”law” and ”formation” and master this kind of ”famine Taotie” formation first.

In this way, he would at least initially possess a form of ”Taotie’s power,” equivalent to the ability to ”create famine.”

Of course, this was merely Mo Hua’s ”hypothesis,” speculated from his experience and learning.

Whether he could truly delve into the heart of the famine.

Whether he could find the famine Taotie formation patterns.

Even whether the so-called ”famine formation patterns” truly exist was all uncertain.

Mo Hua was hesitant.

The Land of Famine might harbor the opportunities of formation.

However, at the same time, it is very dangerous.

With the slightest lapse, being eroded by Taotie’s power, he might fall into extreme ”hunger,” with his life at stake.

While the danger is certain, the opportunities might not necessarily exist.

This makes it difficult to decide.

While Mo Hua was still indecisive, other changes occurred.

On this day, Mo Hua was scrutinizing the withered earth, researching the spread of famine.

Bachuan came to find him, saying, ”Shaman, there’s a situation.”

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, ”What is it?”

Bachuan, with a serious demeanor, said, ”The Mountain Realm of Wusha has been breached.”

Mo Hua was a bit shocked, ”Is it the Bi Fang Tribe?”

Bachuan shook his head, ”It’s the main department of Shugubu.”

Mo Hua frowned, ”Shugubu?”

”Yes,” Bachuan replied, ”Shugubu, whether to avoid famine or for other reasons, suddenly began to invade the Second Grade small Mountain Realm, with strong forces, and Wusha Mountain Realm was breached a few days ago.”

”Dan Zhu, the Young Master, is leading troops in resistance, but the battle situation is uncertain...”

Mo Hua was engaged in some very important and deep research, something Bachuan could not understand but realized.

For ordinary matters, he naturally dared not disturb Mo Hua.
