Asking about longevity

The discussion on formations is over.

In the Ganxuezhou realm, the name "Mo Hua", which was originally unknown, suddenly appeared in front of all the major families, major sects, and even some family ancestors.

Before that, they knew nothing about Mo Hua.

But suddenly, this "evil spirit" appeared out of thin air, overwhelmed the four major sects, and with the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building, drew the peak formation of 19 patterns, broke the record of the discussion on formations, won the first place, and won the championship of formations.

This record, just looking at it, is shocking and unbelievable.

If this incident had not happened in the discussion on the Tao under the watchful eyes of the public, it would definitely be regarded as an absurd "rumor".

The major families and sects immediately began to investigate Mo Hua's origin.

But the Taixu Sect, at the moment when Mo Hua won the championship of formations, immediately sealed Mo Hua's origin and hometown, and listed it as the core secret of the sect. Almost only the head and the ancestor level people are qualified to check it.

Most of the people who have had contact with Mo Hua have a deep friendship with Mo Hua, and they are also very tight-lipped about Mo Hua's information.

Of course, Mo Hua hides it very well, and they don't know much.

On the Dao Ting Division, someone gave the signal, and immediately sealed Mo Hua's resume.

His origin, hometown, background, and all the traces left in the Dao Ting Division since he entered the Gan Xuezhou boundary, including the cases he handled, the criminals he arrested, the evil cultivators he killed, the merits he earned, etc., were also sealed one by one.

The sealed files are stamped with the seal of the Central Dao Ting.

No cultivator in the local Dao Ting Division, even the local chief, has the right to review it.

As a result, there are very few news that can be found outside.

All the families and sects can find out are those "common" news.

It is said that this "Mo Hua" is a cultivator from Lizhou.

But Lizhou is a big state, with countless states of different sizes, and no one knows where it is exactly.

It is said that he was born as a casual cultivator.

But the identity of "casual cultivator" is questionable.

Ordinary casual cultivators have a hard time making a living and practicing. How could they spend so much effort to learn the formation and learn it to such an incredible level?

Some people also say that Mo Hua is the illegitimate son of the head of Taixu.

Others say that he is the grandson of the Taixu ancestor.

These words are naturally rumors. Although they sound more reliable than being born as a casual cultivator, there is no evidence after all, and most people still don't believe it.

If he really has this identity, there is no need to hide it.

In terms of formation champions, they are dazzling pearls in any family. Such geniuses are enough to ignore the rules of family inheritance.

As long as he is the champion, even if he is a side branch of the family, from now on, he can be separated and regarded as the core of the family.

In the world of Ganxuezhou, there are many aristocratic families, many sects, and many geniuses.

To be able to stand out among these already outstanding geniuses and win great reputation and benefits for the family and the sect, the weight of this "champion" is really too heavy.

But no matter how people inquire, they don't get many clues.

After Mo Hua won the championship of the formation, he entered the Taixu Sect, like a fish swimming into the deep sea, without any splashes, and no news was revealed.

Even for a long time, no one saw Mo Hua leaving the Taixu Mountain Gate.

So some people even began to doubt...

Is there really a person called "Mo Hua"?

Geniuses are not cultivated in one day.

How could someone really come out of nowhere, win the championship of the formation in such an extraordinary way, and then disappear and never show up again?

Is this matter a scam from beginning to end?

Is the Taixu Sect setting up a scam?

Or, was it that the examiner was partial and perverted the law, and leaked the questions in advance?

In order to create a "unparalleled array genius" out of thin air, to attract attention and enhance the reputation of the array discussion conference?

To create topics for the discussion conference after the sect's reform?

These rumors are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those in the know.

But among laymen who don't know the inside story, they are rampant.

Because even those who don't learn arrays know that "mid-stage foundation building, first in array discussion" is really too much.

Bragging should also respect basic common sense.

Don't blow your own trumpet to the sky and treat others as fools.

In addition, some people are dark in their hearts, jealous, and maliciously slander.

So everyone's attitude changed, and the shock of the genius turned into doubt.

The name "Mohua" also received mixed reviews.

Some people say he is a liar, some say he is a genius, some say he is a coward, a fraud, and some say he is a real monster, a "demon" who never comes out...

With such mixed reviews, Taixu Sect also suffered from reputation.

After all, Mo Hua has no family, only one person.

The mouth is on someone else, so you can say whatever you want.

Fortunately, the ranking in the discussion of Taoism is real, and Taixu Sect has also gained real benefits.

Thanks to Mo Hua's "first place in the discussion of formations", the overall ranking of Taixu Sect has also jumped directly from the eighth at the bottom of the eight major sects to the third.

This is almost the best ranking that Taixu Sect has achieved since the inheritance of the divine mind into swords was cut off and the sect's foundation declined.

The top three of the eight major sects.

Although outsiders may have various doubts, the real insiders still know how terrible Mo Hua's talent is.

The major aristocratic families and sects, especially the ancestors behind them, the powerful heads and the elders at the top, would not really think that Mo Hua's reputation was "in vain".

The stronger the cultivation level, the higher the status, the broader the knowledge, the deeper the knowledge, and the more aware of this kind of "terrible" the spiritual consciousness is, which fully exceeds the third level of formation talent.

The family did not give up and continued to check the ink paintings.

But on the side of Daotingsi, after Daoting's rectification, the situation was completely different, and they couldn't get involved.

Taixumen, on the other hand, treats the ink paintings as "treasures" and protects them very well.

Therefore, each aristocratic family almost only has one choice:

Go figure it out.

Use the art of heaven to calculate the cause and effect of ink paintings.

This violated the taboo of the Qianxue sect.

But the title of "leader" of the Discussion Forum was really not trivial. Even if it was a taboo, they couldn't help but pry.

As a result, all the major families and sects in the Qianxue Prefecture began to secretly calculate the cause and effect of the ink paintings.

Some ancestors of aristocratic families know a little bit about the secret method, so they can do the math themselves.

But the secret of heaven is obscure, and cause and effect are difficult to follow.

Not everyone believes in this mysterious and mysterious thing. If you believe it, you may not be able to learn it. If you learn it, you may not be able to master it. If you learn it, you may not be able to master it.

Even if they reach the realm of caves and voids, there are actually only a small number of people who can master the secret method of heaven.

Most aristocratic families can only rely on their connections to ask some familiar Taoist friends, good aristocratic families, or the famous Tianji sect such as Xuanji Valley, which lives in seclusion in a corner, to calculate the cause and effect of the ink paintings.

But when they actually tried to calculate, without exception, they all encountered a profound fog.

In the mist, there seems to be a division between yin and yang, the stars are like the sea, and the sky is moving.

These visions have locked up the secrets of heaven and obscured cause and effect.

In addition, there is a hollow shadow with deep eyebrows, holding all the cause and effect in his hands and not allowing others to peep.

"Is this... Tianji Lock? Taixu Gate locks Tianji?"

"Dongxu is in charge, cause and effect are determined. Which ancestor of Taixu Sect is this figure?"

"What a big gesture..."

"I'm really willing to put in the effort."

"This is really in the palm of your hand, and no outsiders can peep..."

"I'm just a foundation-building disciple, so what?"

"Nonsense, if you get the leader of the formation, the ancestor of your sect will have to support you..."

…

Some aristocratic families and employed Tianji monks gathered together and discussed:

"In this case, do we still count?"

"It's not like it can't be counted..."

"Join other companies, find more Tianji monks, use Tianji treasures, and work together, we may not be able to break the Tianji lock of Taixu Sect..."

"It's broken, what happens next?" someone sneered.

"this……"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you... This Tianji Lock is not so much protection as it is an 'attitude'. It means that this child is protected by the Taixu Sect and protected by the ancestors, and he spares no effort and does everything. "

"It's okay to do some calculations behind the scenes, but if you really go to war to break other people's sect's secret lock and pry into the secrets of other people's sect's core disciples, then you are just trying to get your nose in the face, and you will never stop."

"Do you want to offend an ancestor of Dongxu to death?"

"Or do you want to declare war on Taixu Gate, one of the eight gates?"

Everyone was silent.

The man who spoke came from the Mysterious Valley and knew more about the laws of heaven than the average monk.

Therefore, his words have a certain weight.

But everyone was not reconciled.

Someone said: "Quickly fight, gather everyone's strength, break the Heavenly Secret Lock, and then retreat with just one look at the cause and effect. In this way, the Taixu Sect may not be able to react."

"Furthermore, the law does not punish everyone. Even if Taixu Sect investigates him afterwards, as long as we are united, Taixu Sect may not dare to pursue it."

"This makes sense..."

"You can give it a try..."

The monks in Xuanji Valley couldn't help but sneered:

"What are you thinking about? You don't think that the secret lock of Taixu Sect is so easy to break, do you?"

"Taixu Sect is a branch of the three sects, and our ancestors have ancient inheritance."

Some people disagreed and said: "Three sects are divided into three branches. Even if there are some inheritances, they are probably in decline..."

"If it weren't for this formation competition, the Taixu Sect would be unpopular. With their strength, they might not be able to keep the Eight Gates."

The Xuanji Valley monk shook his head and said:

"You really don't understand..."

"The rankings of Taoism are based on the strength of sect disciples, and these strengths do not include the 'method of heaven'."

"At this moment, the inheritance of Tianji in Qianxue State is in decline."

"The Taixu Sect may not be what it used to be, but they still have at least one or two Dongxu Ancestors who are concentrating on studying the cause and effect of heaven."

"Other sects, even the four major sects, have been comfortable for too long and have too much ambition for fame and fortune. They have long since lost most of their heritage. In terms of the power of heavenly calculations, they are actually not much stronger than Taixu Sect."

"In that case, why do you think that the secret lock of Taixu Sect can be broken at any time?"

These words were a bit harsh.

Most of the monks from the aristocratic families in Qianxuezhou were not convinced.

"Inflating other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige. You think too highly of Taixumen. How will you know if you don't try this kind of thing?"

The Xuanji Valley monk sneered, "Have you forgotten that Taixu Sect also has that sword technique?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the monks who knew the inside story changed.

The Xuanji monk said: "Although the sword technique has been discontinued, there are still some old antiques who have learned the true secret of the sword technique and are willing to stay in the gate of Taixu Mountain at the cost of their lives."

"You go to break the Tianji lock of Taixu Gate. If you really offend this old antique and he traces the cause and effect, in your brain, one of you will be slashed with a sword and your soul will be destroyed immediately."

"Besides, it would be in vain if you die."

"You violated the taboo and tried to guess the cause and effect. Your soul was wiped out. Who dares to go to Taixu Mountain to seek justice for you?"

His words made everyone feel like a sword was at their throats and their faces turned pale.

Seeing this, the Xuanji Valley monk softened his tone:

"You are all experts. Even if you have not experienced it yourself, you should have heard that the secrets of heaven are dangerous and the cause and effect are unpredictable."

"Sometimes, it is a good thing to be cautious. Don't take risks to try to guess the cause and effect that cannot be guessed."

"To be honest," the Xuanji Valley monk sighed, with some emotion on his face, "A few years ago, an 'Elder Mei' from Xuanji Valley was invited by the Shangguan family to come to Ganxuezhoujie to calculate a cause and effect."

"The result..."

The Xuanji Valley monk was still frightened, "Elder Mei couldn't refuse the kindness, so he reluctantly calculated what he shouldn't have calculated, so he saw a great horror, looked terrified, vomited blood, and his whole body was cold. He is still lying in Xuanji Valley to heal his wounds..."

"Although these are two different things, the principle is the same. Please be cautious about the matter of cause and effect."

The Xuanji Valley monk said solemnly.

With his personal experience, all the monks from noble families were dignified and dared not be rash again.

They would also secretly calculate again, but they could not break the Taixu Tianji Lock at all.

Out of fear of the Taixu Sect, they did not dare to go too far, and over time, they had to give up.

This also saved their lives invisibly.

...

Inside the Taixu Sect.

Mr. Xun told Mo Hua: "Remember to hang the things I gave you around your neck, don't take them off."

Mo Hua touched a jade lock on his neck.

This jade lock, I don't know what material it is made of, with the eight trigrams engraved on the outside, yin and yang in the middle, and starlight inside, full of mystery, like the sky.

According to Mr. Xun, this is called the "Taixu Liangyi Lock", which can block cause and effect.

"Old sir, what is this lock used for?" Mo Hua asked.

"Don't ask, just wear it, don't lose it." Mr. Xun said.

Mo Hua nodded obediently.

What Mr. Xun gave him must be a good thing. Since the old man asked him to wear it, he should wear it all the time.

Mr. Xun looked at Mo Hua and put the jade lock on his body, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This Taixu Liangyi lock, there is only one, is considered a treasure of heaven and earth handed down by Taixu Sect. He usually doesn't even want to take it out to take a look.

But now the situation is special, and he can only hang it on Mo Hua as a longevity lock.

In any case, Mo Hua's cause and effect must be protected.

In the Ganxuezhou world, with so many noble families eyeing him, he had to spend a lot of money to lock the cause and effect with the Liangyi lock to deter the villains and prevent others from peeping.

There is no way, the middle stage of foundation building, super-level spiritual consciousness, and the first in array theory, these things added together are really too shocking.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. Be low-key when you should be low-key.

Mr. Xun's original intention was to protect Mo Hua.

But he didn't know that he had accidentally used the Taixu Liangyi Lock to eliminate disasters for many families and sects in Ganxuezhou.

If there was no cause and effect seal, Mo Hua would be left to others.

Once the cause and effect of the evil gods and the evil of the Tao spread, I don't know how many cultivators would be polluted.

The entire Ganxuezhou world would be in chaos in an instant.

And Mo Hua would really become a "catastrophe"...

"From now on, you stay in the sect and don't go anywhere else. Practice with peace of mind, at least until this storm is over."

Mr. Xun said.

Mo Hua nodded seriously, "Okay, Mr. Xun."

He really still has a lot of things to do.

While he still has an impression, he should think about the last set of the top nineteen-pattern peak spirit formation of the discussion meeting and comprehend it a few more times.

He still needs to learn the sword of the gods.

He needs to practice the water shadow phantom more.

Of course, the most important thing is that the battle of the formation competition has been over, and the precarious ranking of Taixu Sect has been saved. He can focus on breaking through the late stage of foundation building.

After that, Mo Hua practiced in Taixu Sect with peace of mind.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

Many sects still lose their appetite and feel uneasy because of him.

Especially the four major sects.

Qiandao Sect, in the meeting hall.

Several powerful elders of Tianjian Sect, Longding Sect, and Wanxiao Sect are discussing matters with Elder Shen of Qiandao Sect.

"Can't figure it out..."

"The Taixu Sect is guilty and dares not let anyone guess the cause and effect of this kid."

"You are talking nonsense. If it were you, would you be willing to let others spy on you?"

"The ancestor of the Taixu Sect has such a deep strategy and hides such a trump card. It is too incredible..."

"Originally, the Taixu Sect was going to die with the Tai'a Sect and the Chongxu Sect, but now it is alive and well. Not only that, it is getting better and better, and has already ranked third..."

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? The die is cast, and the champion of the array has been decided. It can't be changed even if we want to..."

"I mean, the next term..." said the elder of the Tianjian Sect with a frown.

The elder of the Longding Sect was startled, "Next term?"

The elder of the Tianjian Sect said solemnly: "This term has passed. We were caught off guard and were tricked by the Taixu Sect. We missed the position of leader. Although it is regrettable, there is no point in worrying about it at this time. The key is the next term. …”

The expression of the elder of Tianjian Sect became more and more solemn, even a little scared:

"This boy's talent is so terrifying. In the middle stage of foundation building, he can surpass the geniuses of my four major sects in the late stage of foundation building, and even the peak of foundation building, and win the first place in the formation. What about the next one?"

"In the next term, when he is in the later stage of foundation building, he will hone his formation and improve it to a higher level. How can our four major sects compare with him?"

"He can get first place with his eyes closed!"

The faces of all the elders were extremely ugly.

"Don't you think that this monster named 'Mo Hua' has a good level of formation skills?"

The elder of Tianjian Sect felt cold in his heart:

"With cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, you can dominate three generations, be proud of four sects, dominate eight sects, sweep across twelve sects, and suppress countless disciples from hundreds or even thousands of Qianxue sects..."

"This is a rare, 'cliff-like' peerless monster that is rare to see in a thousand years!"

"One day when he is around, all the disciples of the Qianxue State will have to look up to him. They will live under the shadow of this 'monster' and will never be able to raise their heads."

"From now on, in the formation discussion conference, our four major sects will always be able to compete for the second place in the formation, the position of 'leader'. We can't even get a glimpse of it. Even a glance is considered a luxury."

The elder of Tianjian Sect sounded shocked and fearful in his heart.

Elder Shen, including the elders of Longding Sect and Wanxiao Sect, also had faces as cold as frost.

A born monster, shocking to the world, and difficult to match, such a disciple, by chance, ended up in the Taixu Sect.

Bad luck...

"Then do you want it?" The elder of Longding Sect looked slightly cold.

The elder of Wanxiao Sect frowned, "Don't act recklessly, you are a born monster. Do you really dare to do something? Be careful, you will ruin your luck..."

The elder of the Longding Sect said: "I don't really want to take action against him. What I mean is to find a way to win over him and let him join our four major sects."

"If it doesn't work, I'll find a way to seduce him and lead him astray."

"Drinking, sex, wealth, since he is a human being, he should like one or two things. Once he is addicted to pleasure and women, his life will be ruined..."

"Genius thrives more on talent than on heart."

"Taixu Sect is not stupid, how could it be possible for you to let you do whatever you want?"

"Give it a try. You won't suffer any loss. Otherwise, where can I find someone more evil than him to compete with him in formations?"

"I still feel bad..."

…

Everyone was talking a lot, but for a while, nothing could be discussed.

After an hour, several people discussed it to no avail, so they left with their own thoughts.

Elder Shen was the only one left in the hall.

Elder Shen frowned.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any way to compete with this "monster" from the Taixu Sect.

Let alone victory, even checks and balances are all extravagant hopes.

The spiritual consciousness is beyond the third level, which is too heaven-defying...

Not to mention, he has terrifyingly solid formation skills.

Elder Shen shook his head and sighed.

"Ink painting..."

Now that he heard this name, he subconsciously felt cold in his heart, and even occasionally had nightmares.

Elder Shen slowly walked out of the hall, but just after taking a few steps, his pupils suddenly trembled and his steps stagnated.

"No, this name...why does it feel a bit familiar?"

"Is it because I've been talking about it too much during this period? Or maybe I've heard it somewhere before?"

Elder Shen's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Ink painting.

Ink painting...

ink……

Elder Shen suddenly opened his eyes wide, and some fragmentary bits and pieces of memories that he had "forgotten once he looked at them" gradually surfaced.

The coldness kept coming to my heart.

Elder Shen trembled and immediately returned to his elder's room. With trembling hands, he rummaged through the vast volumes on one side one by one.

He was looking for a place of origin.

This birthplace, he was so cool when he lost it, but now he is so embarrassed to find it.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Elder Shen finally found an ordinary "native place" book in a corner that had been buried in the back of the case for many years.

Elder Shen trembled and slowly opened his birthplace.

Above the place of birth, there is the line "Although there is an order to join the clan, the qualifications are not consistent and need to be discussed."

And the name on the place of birth is exactly...

"Lizhou Sanxiu, ink painting."

Elder Shen's face turned pale.

What he said to everyone that day when he refused the order to join the sect as a casual cultivator echoed in his ears again.

"Rogue cultivator in a remote place in Lizhou..."

"Mid-low grade small Five Elements Spiritual Root..."

"Unsightly..."

"In the special column, it says...formation?"

"He really dares to write... The ignorant are fearless..."

"The monks in a small place may have learned a few formations and then feel that they are great. They don't know that the mountains are high and the sea is vast, and there is a sky beyond the sky..."

"This is Qianzhou, the boundary of Qianxue State. All geniuses in cultivation are among them, and there is no shortage of him as a 'formation genius'..."

"Having a chance is one thing, but... he can't afford such a big chance from our Qian Dao Sect!"

"It's not a good thing if the opportunity is too great..."

"People with poor fortune cannot bear this heaven-shattering wealth..."

…

Elder Shen felt a burning pain on his face and pain in his heart.

"This disciple, holding the sect order, wanted to join our Qian Dao Sect, but I...rejected..."

This demon who dominated three generations, surpassed four sects, and rode away from the dust, was I the one who... handed it over to Taixu Sect?

Elder Shen's heart was as cold as an ice cellar.

And... "The Order of Admission".

Now it seems that this ancient order of admission obviously has a great cause and effect.

This child is holding the order of admission and wants to join Qiandao Sect. It is very likely that a master, considering the cause and effect of the past, has given me an opportunity to join Qiandao Sect.

And I personally ruined this great opportunity and this cause and effect...

Elder Shen's face was ashen. In an instant, he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. His head buzzed, his eyes went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
