Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2417 Chapter 1097: Qianxue's Number 1 Great Sect (Part 2)

The leader of the Three Mountains Sect was filled with astonishment, and a multitude of elders and disciples alike were overcome with joy.

All of this remarkable achievement at Taixu Gate today was a direct result of the collective endeavors of the sect's disciples.

The individual who made the most significant contribution, naturally, was Mo Hua, affectionately known as the "Junior Brother."

"Everything the Junior Brother said previously has indeed come true!"

"He actually guided us and managed to elevate the sect from the very last of the Eight Great Gates to a position above the Four Great Sects!"

"When we first joined the sect to cultivate, we were but disciples of the Eight Great Gates, and now, in the blink of an eye, we've become disciples of the First Major School of Qianxue?!"

A sense of disbelief washed over all the disciples, as if they were trapped in a waking dream.

Mo Hua's previously established "elevated" standing within the sect surged to even greater heights, ascending considerably.

Among the disciples of Taixu Gate, Mo Hua commanded immense trust and deep admiration.

At virtually every banquet or communal meal, a throng of disciples could be observed lining up, eager to toast Mo Hua.

For them, the appellation "Senior Brother" was merely a formal address.

However, the phrase "Junior Brother" represented their unwavering faith.

Even on Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu, Mo Hua's influence began to gain considerable "traction."

The patriarchs of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu extended invitations to Mo Hua for tea.

During these tea gatherings, the patriarchs occupied the foremost seats, with Mo Hua seated in the position of honor next to them.

The sect leaders of Taia and Chongxu sat in the less prominent seats, diligently preparing and serving tea to the patriarchs, and occasionally refilling Mo Hua's cup.

At these assemblies, the patriarchs of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu conveyed messages of solicitude and empathy to Mo Hua, inquiring if he harbored any desire to join the Inner Gate of either Taia Mountain or Mount Chongxu. They assured him that should he choose to affiliate, a distinct clan lineage would be established in his name, thereby creating a tradition bearing the surname "Mo" within Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu.

Mo Hua was deeply touched by their generosity but gracefully declined their offers.

While the patriarchs of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu expressed disappointment, they grew even more convinced of Mo Hua's integrity and his ability to remain unswayed by material gain, recognizing him as a highly promising talent.

Subsequently, the two patriarchs engaged in an extended discussion with Mo Hua.

Though the tea ceremony did not culminate in a formal "agreement" or "transaction," both the esteemed guests and their gracious hosts departed with profound satisfaction.

...

Just as Taixu Gate had secured the foremost position in the sword discussion, Mo Hua also attained his long-sought objective.

Elder Master Xun presented Mo Hua with a Formation Diagram.

This Formation Diagram was a prestigious reward bestowed by the Heaven Shu Pavilion upon the victor of the Qianxue Sword Discussion, a rare and esteemed formation known as the "Wood Revitalization Formation."

This particular formation had largely fallen into disuse due to its specialized applications, intricate classification, and the inherent difficulties in its construction. It had been progressively supplanted by advancements in alchemy for medical formations.

Nevertheless, it was far more than a singular formation; as Mo Hua perused its contents, he discovered that the "Wood Revitalization Formation" was, in essence, a complete compilation of formations.

It encompassed an exhaustive inheritance of wood-elemental medical formations, spanning from First Grade all the way to Fourth Grade.

This was, without a doubt, an exceptionally valuable legacy.

But…

Mo Hua's brow furrowed, "Can this Wood Revitalization Formation truly heal my master?"

Why?

Mo Hua was acutely aware that his master's injuries were intertwined with intricate Heavenly Mechanism Causality and life-and-death Qi, extending far beyond mere physical trauma.

What conceivable role could this Wood Revitalization Formation fulfill in such a dire situation?

Mo Hua meticulously re-examined the Wood Revitalization Formation, searching for any hidden profundities, but finding himself unable to decipher its deeper secrets, he resolved to set it aside for later, more thorough study.

Mo Hua proceeded to secure the entire set of the Wood Revitalization Formation within his Storage Ring.

...

In the ensuing days, Taixu Gate was abuzz with vibrant activity.

With the final rankings established and the sect having undergone such a profound transformation, countless families, rival sects, other Tao Cultivation factions, and various esteemed Tao Cultivation masters dispatched congratulatory gifts to Taixu Gate.

The entrance to Taixu Gate became a scene of constant commotion, filled with a multitude of carriages, bustling crowds, and throngs of people.

An atmosphere of unadulterated joy and happiness permeated Taixu Gate.

This jubilant and lively spectacle persisted for nearly an entire month.

During this prosperous period, the sect conducted its concluding year-end assessments.

Mo Hua's academic performance, as was customary, resulted in one Grade A and six Grade Cs.

Regardless of his elevated status, poor grades remained poor grades, and no elder would ever "falsify" his evaluation scores.

Nevertheless, Mo Hua, upon observing the familiar "one Grade A and six Grade Cs," felt a peculiar sense of peace settle over him, followed by a profound sigh.

He understood that this truly marked an ending.

Nine years of dedicated cultivation within Taixu Gate had finally drawn to a close.

The disciples of the sect began their departures, leaving the gates one after another.

His junior brothers, too, started bidding him farewell, each now charting their unique course and embarking on their individual journeys.

The first to depart was Linghu Xiao.

Although a disciple of Mount Chongxu, his intention was to venture out for training, journey to Sword Mountain, immerse himself in swordsmanship, pursue the profound Sword Dao, and subsequently seize an opportunity for Core Formation.

Linghu Xiao, not one for eloquent speeches, with a multitude of emotions veiled within his gaze, merely clasped his hands and proclaimed:

"Junior Brother, we shall cross paths again amidst the mountains and rivers."

Mo Hua returned the gesture, his hands clasped in kind. "We shall meet again between the mountains and streams, Xiaoxiao. Take good care. You must achieve greatness as a Sword Cultivator."

A rare hint of a smile graced Linghu Xiao's lips. After a deep inhalation, he nodded to Mo Hua and, with his sword as his guide, accompanied an Elder from Mount Chongxu on their expedition across the Nine States in pursuit of the Sword Dao.

Then came Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Yang Qianjun, Hao Xuan, Xie Ling, and the others.

Some were returning to their ancestral homes, some embarked on journeys, some sought out revered Elders, some were poised to inherit family legacies, and still others fought solely for their own path forward...

Each individual possessed their unique life and destiny.

Before their departures, all paid a visit to Mo Hua. They raised a toast to him, expressing their reluctance to part yet doing so with generosity, stating:

"Junior Brother, the journey on the Dao is unending; until we meet again..."

Following this, they would invariably add:

"Should your travels ever bring you back to Qian State, or perhaps to Kun State, Kan State, Li State, Gen State, Zhen State, Xun State, or Dui State... make sure to visit the Hao Family, Lu Family, Chu Family, Situ Family, Cheng Family, Xie Family, Zheng Family, Feng Family, Yang Family, Zhuge Family, or Han Family… as a distinguished guest."

"... Should you ever find yourself in a predicament, simply announce my name, and rest assured, no one will dare to show you disrespect, Junior Brother."
