The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2225: Ominous Sign

Only seven days remain before the Asura Sword Discussion commences.

An assembly of elders on the Mount of Tao has determined this seven-day period.

The purpose is to allow sect disciples ample time to get ready.

Due to the unforeseen nature of the Asura War, the allotted preparation window has been extended generously.

Within the confines of the Disciple’s Residence.

Mo Hua remains deeply engrossed, meticulously deducing potential battle situations, scrutinizing causes and effects, and deeply contemplating various challenges...

All of a sudden, a knock resounds at the door, prompting Mo Hua to answer it, only to be astonished by the unexpected guest:

"Sect Leader? What has brought you here?"

The Taixu Sect Master regards Mo Hua with profound intensity, retrieves a token from within his sleeve, and presents it to him.

"This represents the newly crafted Sect Token unifying the Three Mountains, the sole one available at present, intended for your initial use."

"Encased within the token, the legacies from the Three Mountains are linked seamlessly."

"Merit points allow you to freely exchange them as needed."

"Furthermore, this particular Sect Token holds unique privileges, granted by the Sect Leaders of Tai’a and Chongxu with exceptional authority for you."

"The caliber of legacies accessible for exchange will certainly be of high quality."

"As the Asura War looms ahead, should you require assistance, simply choose a suitable inheritance directly from it."

"Cultivation Techniques, Taoist Skills, Formations, Artifact Refining Methods... and more, are all available for redemption."

"This provision is specifically for the sword discussion and the sect's benefit, so during the Sword Discussion Conference, no merit points will be deducted for any inheritance exchanges."

"These redeemed inheritances may also be provisionally shared with other disciples participating in the sword discussion, provided it's all in preparation for the event—nothing is off-limits."

"In addition, I've already notified the elders about these arrangements. Whatever you require, voice it freely. For this sword discussion affair, you're fully in command..."

Mo Hua stands momentarily stunned, then reverently receives the token using both hands.

The Taixu Sect Master offers no further words, merely bestowing a warm gaze upon Mo Hua, giving his shoulder an encouraging pat, before departing.

This gesture clearly conveys the sect leader's unwavering position: complete backing for Mo Hua.

A surge of warmth fills Mo Hua's heart, accompanied by a profound sense of responsibility pressing down on him.

His eyes drop to examine the token clutched in his grasp.

The token exudes an aura of antiquity and majesty, etched with intricate profundity and opulence, marking it as the freshly minted Taixu Gate Sect Token uniting the Three Mountains.

It serves as the prototype for a uniform token design.

Evidently, Taixu Gate plans to roll out this innovative sect token across the board in the coming times.

A standardized sect token will effectively bind all disciples from the Three Mountains under one unified sect banner.

From what Mo Hua understands, this novel sect token incorporates sequential identifiers engraved within during its creation for distinction.

Mo Hua gently caresses the token's surface.

As the inaugural token produced post-unification of the Three Mountains, it houses the combined legacies of the three peaks, known as the Taixu Token.

Thus, the sequence embedded within this token ought to be...

"One".

Mo Hua's gaze flickers for an instant, then he retreats back into the Disciple’s Residence, securing doors and windows with a formation seal, before settling at the table and channeling his divine sense into this innovative sect token.

The token retains its designation as the Taixu Token.

Yet Taixu encompasses the Three Mountains.

Beyond the longstanding legacies of Taixu Gate, the inheritances from the Tai’a and Chongxu branches are now systematically organized and displayed in the "Merit Scroll".

Taixu Gate, Tai’a Sect, and Chongxu Sect were once among the illustrious Eight Great Gates.

Consequently, the Taixu Token in Mo Hua's possession now aggregates the vast Taoist Repository from three of these Eight Great Gates, nearly amounting to "half the realm" of the Qianxue Eight Great Gates' legacies, an extravagance beyond imagination.

Moreover, it goes beyond mere standard inheritances.

As Mo Hua peruses the "Merit Scroll" of Mount Chongxu, he uncovers a distinctive offering.

It seems to be an extraordinary allowance from the Chongxu Sect Leader:

"Chongxu Sword True Skill".

This constitutes the paramount sword qi technique of Mount Chongxu, the guardian legacy of the mountain, and the elite swordsmanship cultivated by Xiaoxiao.

Tai’a Mountain Opening Sword Formation, Chongxu Sword True Skill, Tai Xu Divine Thought into sword.

This perfectly aligns with that renowned adage:

"Tai’a Refining Spirit Sword, Rushing Void Proliferating Sword Qi, Tai Xu Sword Intent..."

A subtle tremor stirs within Mo Hua's heart.

At this moment, he stands as the singular individual embodying the core guardian legacies of the three branches.

Such a development was unforeseen.

He had merely pondered it in passing, never dreaming that the opportunity to consolidate the Taixu Three Branches' inheritances would actually arrive.

And remarkably, he acquires them through legitimate and transparent means.

This stems from the pivotal significance of the impending Asura War.

Similarly, it arises from the confidence and delegation by the Sect Leaders of the Three Mountains.

In the shadows, the sect leaders must have conducted thorough deliberations and compromises.

Undoubtedly, even Elder Master Xun has been devising strategies tirelessly from behind the scenes, all for his sake...

Though they never voice it outright.

Mo Hua lets out a soft sigh, shifting his gaze toward the window, fixing on Taixu Mountain.

Surveying this mountain gate where he has resided and cultivated for nine years, a sudden surge of harmony wells up in his heart, as though his thoughts intertwine with the vast Taixu Mountain Range.

This is the sect that nurtured his learning.

Within its halls dwell fellow disciples, respected elders, guiding sect leaders, and the venerable Elder Master Xun.

All these individuals regard him with genuine kindness.

In turn, he is inextricably linked to Taixu Gate, their fates intertwined in prosperity and adversity.

Mo Hua's eyes reflect a blend of tenderness and unyielding resolve, his resolve steadily solidifying.

He is determined to secure the top position.

Even if not solely for his own sake, but for the junior brothers who share his daily life, for the benevolent elders, for the sect leaders who place their faith in him, and for the forebears working diligently in the background, who scheme meticulously and harbor deep concern for him...

He will seize this foremost rank.

To forge a promising future for Taixu Gate.

To ascend to the summit of the Qianxue Debate.

And to propel Taixu Gate to the zenith among the myriad sects in the Qian Learning State Boundary.

No force shall impede him.

The softness in Mo Hua’s expression dissipates, his eyes gleaming with a fierce golden edge.

Regardless of the Four Sects, Eight Gates, or Twelve Streams, should they dare to hinder me, then I shall... sweep them aside entirely.

...

Following this, Mo Hua launches into full-scale preparations for the Asura Sword Discussion.

Leveraging the foundational Taoist Repository of the Three Mountains, bolstered by the sect leader's unwavering support, and empowered by Taixu Gate's authority, Mo Hua finds himself capable of achieving far greater feats.
