Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2453: Chapter 4: Canglang Sect (Part 3)

The safety of Mo Hua couldn’t be guaranteed.

Elder Yu felt a heavy heart.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect strode into the hall, scanning the room with his Divine Sense, he realized Elder Yu’s arrangements, and coldly sneered in his heart.

He glanced at Elder Yu, giving a slight nod, but his expression was indifferent, clearly not taking the Foundation Establishment early-stage Elder Yu seriously.

Then, the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect shifted his gaze slightly towards Mo Hua, who was beside Elder Yu.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect’s expression was slightly startled.

His first reaction was youthfulness!

Extremely youthful!

Even on his fair face, there was still a hint of adolescent clarity and innocence.

This proved that this young man was very young, but his cultivation had advanced rapidly.

Indeed, he seemed like a disciple of a Great Sect.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect frowned slightly, pondering in his heart:

"But his Spiritual Root is too poor, his cultivation too hasty, with only a Realm but low Spiritual Power, and his physical body is very weak..."

"Can someone of this aptitude truly enter a Great Sect? Or did he enter through some back door?"

"Or perhaps... he’s just embellishing himself, boasting and fabricating the title of a Great Sect to seek fame and profit?"

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect’s expression slightly tensed, his eyes sharp like a wolf’s, staring intently at Mo Hua.

He wanted to see what was behind Mo Hua’s facade.

Mo Hua merely raised his head slightly, his gaze deep and calm as he glanced at the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect.

With just that one glance, in that instant, an illusion of a Corpse Mountain, a Sea of Blood, and overwhelming Evil Qi flashed from his eyes.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect’s heart suddenly trembled, his very marrow chilled.

"What was that?!"

His face turned slightly pale, and when he looked again, he found that the terrifying vision had vanished, leaving nothing to see.

There was only Mo Hua, standing quietly, his aura calm like a deep pool, and his demeanor steady as a mountain.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect felt lingering fear and after a moment furrowed his brows tightly.

This young man... is quite mysterious...

But to say nothing else, at least this composure is indeed that of a disciple from a Great Sect.

It’s a demeanor only those accustomed to encountering high-level cultivators and witnessing grand occasions would possess.

A Great Sect disciple should not be underestimated...

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect stepped forward with authority but first cupped his hands and said, "I am the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect."

Mo Hua also cupped his hands, "A disciple of Taixu Gate, Mo Hua."

Originally braced as if facing a formidable foe, Elder Yu looked at the scene before him, his expression somewhat surprised.

Wasn’t it just now... a Golden Core Realm Elder of the Canglang Sect first saluted the Foundation Establishment Realm’s Mo Hua?

The status of Mo Hua was actually so high...

"Sect Leader, please."

"Brother Mo, please."

Elder Yu came back to his senses and began to order the dishes to be served.

Afterward, everyone took their seats, began drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere eased.

After a few cups of wine, the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect calmed down his hostility and arrogance and started chatting with Elder Yu, indirectly inquiring about the recent situation in Tongxian City.

Elder Yu’s cultivation level was not that high, but he was a seasoned hand in dealing with people and matters, only perfunctorily replying, essentially saying nothing.

Mo Hua just ate silently.

After a while, the atmosphere grew heavy.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect glanced at the disciples of the Canglang Sect around him and instructed, "Go and bring the gift I prepared for Brother Mo."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Several disciples of the Canglang Sect stood up and left, and did not return for a long time.

Mo Hua was slightly taken aback, realizing that this Sect Leader intended to send the others away.

Elder Yu frowned.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and looked at Elder Yu.

Elder Yu understood Mo Hua’s intent, felt slightly uneasy, and Mo Hua just shook his head, indicating he was fine.

Only then did Elder Yu nod.

"There is some good wine stored for a hundred years in the Food Building, let me fetch it."

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect cupped his hands, "Much obliged."

Elder Yu got up and left, leaving only Mo Hua and the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect in the room, making it all the quieter.

Mo Hua drank his wine calmly.

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect hesitated for a moment, then got straight to the point:

"Let’s be frank, Brother Mo, would you be interested in joining our Canglang Sect?"

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, and slowly said, "I am a disciple of Taixu Gate."

"No matter," the Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect said, "Our Canglang Sect is not a place primarily for teaching and passing on the Dao. The Sect manages industries, and the Sect disciples join us to earn Spirit Stones or seek a future."

"Joining or leaving the Sect is quite free, without coercion."

"As long as Brother Mo can serve our Canglang Sect, handle practical matters for the Sect, expand our industries, and earn Spirit Stone profits, we will try our best to fulfill whatever you desire."

"Afterward, if you find it unsatisfactory, you can leave freely, without much constraint..."

Mo Hua nodded slightly, having a rough understanding in his heart.

It seems that the Canglang Sect had caught wind from somewhere, knowing he graduated from the so-called Great Sect of Qianxue, so the Sect Leader came personally to recruit him to work for the Canglang Sect.

After all, around the second-grade Tongxian City, and even near the third-grade state boundary of the Canglang Sect, disciples who have received superior Tao cultivation education and have a profound Dao foundation from "Great Sects" are extremely rare.

To say they are "as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns" would not be an exaggeration.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and did not reject outright, but said, "I’ll consider it."

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect looked at Mo Hua, slowed his tone:

"Brother Mo, forgive my presumptuousness, but are you planning to stay in Tongxian City permanently?"

Mo Hua’s expression slightly changed, "What if I am?"

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect carried a slight, inscrutable smile, gently shook his head, and sighed softly:

"Some words might sound unpleasant, but they are indeed the truth..."

"To have entered a Great Sect, whether due to..." The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect paused, doubting it was possible, but still said:

"Whether due to your ’Spiritual Root,’ or other qualifications, network, talent, or simply luck, it’s an opportunity countless cultivators dream of, and extremely hard to come by..."

"In other words, just by entering a Great Sect, you have already ’leaped the dragon gate,’ defying fate."

"Under these circumstances, continuing to mix with these poor loose cultivators has no future..."

The Sect Leader of the Canglang Sect sighed and shook his head:

"Those loose cultivators have too low an understanding of Tao cultivation, their Spiritual Roots, and legacy are too poor; their disposition has flaws, their character unlikely to be high..."

"Staying with them is like being in a quagmire, only getting endlessly trapped in poverty and hardship, delaying your own cultivation."

"Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided by class; you and they are no longer people on the same level."

"You should break away from this quagmire and keep moving upward..."
