The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2405: Taotie (part 2)
Previously on The Quest for Immortality...
Mo Hua felt a profound sense of anxiety.
Elder Master Xun had issued a stern warning to him: to carefully manage his Divine Thought, preventing overuse and exhaustion. Failure to comply risked depleting his Sea of Consciousness and reawakening a perilous evilness.
Consequently, Mo Hua refrained from employing the formidable abilities of Heavenly Secret Calculation and Tricky Calculation. He also avoided staying up late poring over ancient texts, as this pace of deciphering could not be expedited.
With no alternative path forward, he could only endure, focusing on patient, methodical progress...
One morning, adhering to his disciplined routine, Mo Hua awakened to cultivate. He then departed the rear mountain, the sun's brilliant morning rays overhead, his boots treading the time-worn mountain path. His destination was the Inner Mountain Scripture Pavilion, where he intended to patiently consult ancient texts, meticulously examine the Ancient Wilderness Text, and unlock the secrets of the Lifebound Taotie Spirit Formation and its intricate Formation Diagram.
Along his journey, several Inner Mountain Elders and Inner Sect Disciples offered him warm greetings.
Mo Hua reciprocated each greeting with practiced politeness.
Following the recent Formation Competition and the ongoing Sword Discussion Conference, Mo Hua's remarkable achievements had significantly elevated his standing within the Taixu Gate. It was now the case that there was no one within the Sect whom Mo Hua did not know, and conversely, everyone knew Mo Hua.
Other disciples, upon encountering elders, would invariably bow in respectful salutation.
However, when it came to Mo Hua, before he could even react, a Sect Elder would often extend a cordial greeting first.
Although the final rankings of the Sword Discussion Conference were still under deliberation among the various Sects and officially unannounced, the Taixu Gate's position was undeniably high.
It was anticipated to be the highest in their history, a level of success that surpassed the wildest dreams of the elders.
The individual responsible for this extraordinary achievement was known to all within the Taixu Gate.
Not a single elder or disciple failed to recognize Mo Hua's immense contribution.
If, in the past, any had dared to mock Mo Hua as the
"Alright," Elder Chu mused, thinking, "I have a cadre of Inner Sect disciples who have been diligently studying the profound interpretations of ancient Tao Cultivation scriptures from the Nine States with me. They possess a solid foundation..."
Turning his gaze to Mo Hua, Elder Chu stated with clarity:
"Here's the strategy: You will dissect your ancient texts into individual lines and passages. Furnish them to me piece by piece, and I shall have them meticulously examined and rectified word by word, returning the interpretations to you."
"This method guarantees both swiftness and dependability."
Texts pertaining to Tao Cultivation frequently encapsulate ancient and concealed Taoist legacies.
As such, these secrets are not easily shared.
By deconstructing them and translating them word by word, Mo Hua receives assistance without breaching the sanctity of confidentiality.
Elder Chu was experienced and thoughtful.
Mo Hua became ecstatic, filled with profound gratitude. He clasped his hands together, exclaiming, "Thank you, Elder Chu."
Elder Chu stroked his beard, nodding with evident pleasure.
Following this arrangement, Mo Hua found the task significantly simplified. His sole responsibility was to break down substantial and intricate sections of the Ancient Wilderness Text into smaller lines and segments for Elder Chu. Elder Chu, in turn, would delegate these segments to his Inner Sect disciples for examination and translation.
The completed translated "interpretations" would then be compiled and delivered back to Mo Hua.
Subsequently, Mo Hua would integrate these explanations, synthesizing the complete meaning of the Ancient Wilderness Text.
