Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2425 Chapter 1100: Bai Family

Why is Hua Valley Master treating me with such kindness?

And what burdens weigh so heavily upon her?

Mo Hua pondered, unable to fully grasp the situation. He looked closer, observing how Hua Valley Master’s stunning features had composed themselves, returning to a state of calm, regal grace. Yet, a profound, unspoken sorrow lingered in the depths of her eyes.

"Keep this Jade Token safe," Hua Valley Master instructed gently.

Mo Hua was momentarily surprised before nodding, "Thank you, Valley Master."

"If you find yourself in peril, you may employ its use."

"Understood."

Despite his agreement, Mo Hua resolved in his heart that he would never utilize this Jade Token throughout his life.

What would a male disciple of the Taixu Gate possessing a Jade Token from the Hundred Flower Valley appear to others?

If such a thing were to become known, he would indeed be deemed the sole male disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley...

Would that even be conceivable?

After a short while longer spent sharing tea, Hua Valley Master rose to depart, and Mo Hua offered a bow to see her off.

Subsequently, following a brief exchange with Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian, Mo Hua stood to take his leave, his voice tinged with a touch of melancholy.

"Senior Sister Murong, Senior Sister Qianqian, we shall meet again."

Murong Caiyun appeared reluctant, while Hua Qianqian grasped Mo Hua's hand, her eyes welling up, unable to contain her emotions:

"Should you ever return to the Qian Learning State Boundary, be certain to seek out your Senior Sister Qianqian."

"Indeed, I will." Mo Hua affirmed with a nod, "And I wish for your early Core Formation, Senior Sister."

Hua Qianqian let out a sigh, "You as well."

After exchanging parting wishes, Mo Hua went his separate way from the two senior sisters.

Upon returning to the Sect, he made a final visit to Tai'a Mountain to see Little Wood. They sat by the mountain's base, conversing for a period.

Mo Hua produced some wine for Little Wood to partake in.

On the eve of their parting, Little Wood seemed dispirited, consuming bowl after bowl. However, his tolerance for alcohol was poor, and he soon became inebriated, his face flushed a deep red, and he began to boast of grand aspirations.

He declared his intent to become the paramount sword-casting master of the Tai'a branch, vowing to forge the finest sword for his junior brother.

Ultimately, he drank himself into unconsciousness, and it was Mo Hua who saw to his return.

By this juncture, Mo Hua had seen most of the individuals he wished to visit. His departure was imminent.

At the Taixu Gate, within the Elder's Residence.

Elder Master Xun inquired of Mo Hua, "Have you definitively resolved to depart?"

Mo Hua confirmed with a nod, bowing deeply to Elder Master Xun, "During my time at Taixu Gate, your guidance has been invaluable, and for that, I am most grateful, Master Xun."

Elder Master Xun let out a long, profound sigh, as if a piece of his very being had been extracted, leaving a void that felt hollow, tender, and aching.

This young disciple, he must depart after all...

The nine years they had shared seemed fleeting, as if it were but yesterday.

Elder Master Xun appeared to recall the moment he first encountered Mo Hua, a memory now relegated to the past.

With another sigh, Elder Master Xun retrieved several Tokens from his sleeve and presented them to Mo Hua:

"These are five Cloud Crossing Orders, each attuned to a specific hour, representing the five distinct Cloud Crossings of Cloud Crossing City."

"For the duration of these three days, I shall employ the Taixu Heavenly Mechanism Compass to obscure the threads of causality, thereby concealing your movements."

"Within this three-day period, follow your heart's inclination and select any Cloud Crossing to depart discreetly, without informing a soul."

The intricate web of connections surrounding Mo Hua was exceedingly complex, and his destiny was profoundly significant.

In the forthcoming Taoism Conference, he had, both openly and covertly, incurred the animosity of numerous individuals.

Furthermore, those who coveted Mo Hua's standing and yearned for his exceptional talents were also alarmingly numerous.

Consequently, his movements must remain entirely concealed.

At the very least, within the Fifth Grade Qian Learning State Boundary, his presence must not be revealed.

Once he had successfully exited the Qian Learning State Boundary, leaving the realms of Qian State behind, the influence and agents of these formidable families would be unable to reach him, ensuring Mo Hua's considerably enhanced safety.

Particularly in certain Second and Third Grade smaller state boundaries, where the restrictive Heavenly Dao Laws limit overt actions, preventing those above the Golden Core and Feather Transformation realms from intervening, Mo Hua would possess adequate means to safeguard himself.

Thus, the more remote and diminutive the location, and the lower its grade, the safer Mo Hua would actually be.

The most significant perils, conversely, lay within the Fourth and Fifth Grade territories.

Especially within the Fifth Grade Qian Learning State Boundary, where certain sects and clans boasting Heaven Void ancestors held a deep-seated resentment towards Mo Hua.

While they might outwardly adhere to conventions and refrain from acting against Mo Hua for the sake of appearances, the certainty of whether they would resort to clandestine, unrestrained actions remained unknown.

Therefore, Mo Hua's departure must be carried out with utmost quietude, silence, and without leaving any discernible trace.

Mo Hua fully comprehended the gravity of these circumstances.

Accepting the Cloud Crossing Orders, he bowed once more. "Thank you, Master Xun."

Elder Master Xun gave a slight nod, still concerned about Mo Hua. "Have you considered your own Magical Treasure?" he inquired.

Mo Hua affirmed, "I have prepared all that is necessary."

During his stay at Taixu Gate, he had engaged in extensive preparations.

He had amassed considerable knowledge regarding the spell points, techniques, and necessary precautions for refining the Second Grade "Twelve Scripture Gluttonous Spirit Corpse Formation" with its twenty-four patterns. All this information was meticulously copied down for later study.

A significant amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were exchanged for Merit Points, all safely stored within his Storage Ring.

Some refining materials were exceedingly rare, and Mo Hua lacked the necessary authority to acquire them directly. Consequently, he sought assistance from certain elders, utilizing unofficial channels.

Furthermore, Mo Hua had previously discussed certain matters with Elder Master Xun.

Although Elder Master Xun was unaware of the exact Magical Treasure Mo Hua planned to refine, he nonetheless offered invaluable guidance and advice based on Mo Hua's partial revelations, drawing upon his profound experience in Dao cultivation.

Despite his concerns regarding specific details, Elder Master Xun did not press for further information, nor did he feel the need to investigate too deeply.

Certain knowledge, once obtained, could invoke cause and effect. With cause and effect came traces, and with traces came vulnerabilities.

To safeguard Mo Hua, Elder Master Xun concluded it was best not to be privy to certain secrets.
