Immortality Through Array Formations
Chapter 2427 - 1100: Bai Family (Part 3)
Big White Dog watched Mo Hua go far away, until Mo Hua’s figure disappeared, it finally lay back down on the ground, its big head drooping, full of loss.
...
Returning to the Disciple’s Residence.
Mo Hua’s expression was melancholy, still somewhat difficult to believe.
"The Bai Family..."
He had cultivated at Taixu Gate for nine years, completely unprepared for the fact that his sect leader would be from the Bai Family.
A Fifth grade aristocratic family was already remarkable enough, but a Sixth grade family, moreover a flourishing Great Family... How powerful must it be...
Mo Hua sighed inwardly, and thought:
"Junior Brother and Senior Sister, there’s been no news for so long, I wonder when I’ll see them again..."
"Uncle Bai took Master away, I wonder how things are now..."
Mo Hua couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
"Let’s talk about it later..."
The matters of the Bai Family, and Master’s situation, are not something he can consider now.
"I’ll prepare to leave the Sect first."
Finally, it’s time to say goodbye to Taixu Gate, the Sect he lived and cultivated in for nine whole years.
Mo Hua took out the few Cloud Crossing Orders Elder Master Xun had given him.
These tokens, differing in form and color, are for different time slots, different ferries, and different Cloud Ferries within three days.
What Mo Hua needed to do was pick one from them and board the Cloud Ferry without alerting anyone, leaving the Qianxue State Boundary.
This was Elder Master Xun’s way of protecting Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was clear about this in his heart.
As for which one to choose, it wasn’t really important, as long as he didn’t tell anyone, only he needed to know.
Since that’s the case, Mo Hua naturally wanted to choose the largest, most luxurious, and fastest Cloud Ferry.
This way he could be comfortable and return home sooner, to see his parents.
Thinking about Tongxian City, thinking about his parents, Mo Hua’s heart warmed and then got a bit nervous.
Even though he hadn’t boarded the Cloud Ferry, hadn’t gotten on the ship home, he already felt a bit of the timidity of nearing home.
Mo Hua shook his head.
He picked and chose from the five Cloud Crossing Orders, and finally selected a golden colored Jade Order.
This Cloud Crossing Order, the ferry is within the Qianxue State Boundary, made by the Carefree Sect, it’s a large custom Cloud Ferry, traveling from Qian State to Xun State, passing through Li State, with smooth sailing, a superior seat, no worry about food or drink, and very quiet.
"This is the one!"
Mo Hua intended to place this golden Cloud Crossing Order in his Storage Bag, but suddenly his heart skipped, as if sensing something.
Mo Hua turned his head to look towards a corner, where a light white Cloud Crossing Order was.
This Cloud Crossing Order was much more ordinary.
At a glance, it doesn’t belong to any large family or sect for Cloud Ferry lines.
The Cloud Ferry itself is medium-sized, ordinary cabins, food and drink are not that good.
Most importantly, it’s an old-fashioned Cloud Ferry, the speed of its voyage is the slowest among these Cloud Ferries.
From the Qianxue State Boundary to Li State, it would probably take at least an extra month’s time.
Mo Hua frowned.
Reason told him to choose the golden Cloud Crossing Order, that way the ferry is big and steady, comfortable to sit in, and fast.
But a certain intuitive feeling told him he should choose the light white one.
"Why? Is there danger in the golden Cloud Crossing Order?"
Mo Hua pinched a Copper Coin and calculated slightly, his expression strange, "No danger came out..."
He then calculated slightly for the other Cloud Crossing Orders, finding them all more or less the same.
After all, these were the things Elder Master Xun gave him, Elder Master Xun must have foreseen, it couldn’t truly be dangerous.
In fact, choosing the light white Cloud Crossing Order wouldn’t be any safer. It’s just an intuition telling Mo Hua he would regret not choosing it.
Mo Hua’s brows furrowed tightly, unable to make sense of it, he sighed in the end and put the slightly poor-looking light white Cloud Crossing Order into his Storage Ring.
"Slow it shall be... the intuition on causality cannot be ignored..."
"Tomorrow afternoon, at the time of 7:00 PM on the Cloud Ferry, that means... leaving early tomorrow morning..."
He had always known he was leaving soon.
But now that the time was confirmed, Mo Hua felt a blockage in his chest, some sense of melancholy and loss in his heart.
He looked back at the Disciple’s Residence.
He had lived in this room for nine years, residing here daily, cultivating, reading, Drawing Formation, it truly felt like his "home."
Now that he was about to leave, he might not be able to return.
Parting sorrows lingered in his heart, many memories were hard to let go.
Mo Hua sighed again, walked around the room as if trying to keep every wall and corner, each table and chair in his heart.
Walking for a moment, he saw the middle of the room, the empty space, Mo Hua stopped again, unable to help but think of Patriarch Dugu.
Back then, Patriarch Dugu had torn that space in front of him, took him to the back mountain, taught him Divine Thought into Sword.
But now the space was silent. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Patriarch Dugu had no news, no knowing what has happened.
Counting it, he had seen everyone he wanted to, except for Patriarch Dugu, he hadn’t said goodbye face-to-face, thanked him.
Mo Hua felt regretful.
"Forget it, matters of the Heaven Void Ancestor are not something a Foundation Establishment Disciple can worry about. Work hard in cultivation, in the future when cultivation is high, if there’s a chance, come back to see Patriarch Dugu, thank him for teaching the sword and Dao..."
Making up his mind, Mo Hua nodded, packed his things, took a little time to check everything carefully, making sure nothing was missed, then felt relieved.
About three to four hours until dawn.
Mo Hua thought of drawing formation as usual, but thinking about the imminent departure, his heart was overwhelmed, unable to calm down.
Mo Hua could only lie in bed, close his eyes to rest.
But once closing his eyes, memories of cultivating at Taixu Gate, all the people and events experienced, and all the dear and vivid faces, appeared in Mo Hua’s heart, like a lantern parade.
Thinking about leaving all these behind, Mo Hua felt some bitterness.
Suddenly, the sound of space shattering echoed.
Mo Hua’s pupils trembled, he slowly sat up.
Through blurred vision, he saw a black twisted space crack appearing inside the room.
This space rift was familiar to Mo Hua.
It was the same rift the Patriarch Dugu had torn open to take him to the back mountain to train swords.
Only now, for some unknown reason, this void crack had opened itself.
And within the crack, came a cold and eerie Demon Thought.
As if a surreal and ethereal voice was beckoning Mo Hua, saying to him:
"Come to me..."
