Chapter 1100: The First Great Sect of Qian Xue

At the entrance of the Gu family.Wenren Wan, leading Yu'er, came to see Mo Hua off.The Gu family master, Gu Shouyan, as well as a group of elders, also personally came to bid farewell to Mo Hua.Elder Gu Hong, dressed in red and full of enthusiasm and straightforwardness, was holding Mo Hua's hand at this moment, her expression full of reluctance.From their first meeting, she had deeply liked this cute and polite child, Mo Hua.It was just that at the time, she had no idea that this little disciple with whom she ate melons and chatted about "gossip" could possess such great ability and stunning talent, even surpassing the heavenly talents in Qianxue State, shining brightly in the Qianxue Sword Discussion, and twice winning the top spot in the array path.Even thinking about it now, there's still a sense of unreality.Elder Gu Hong looked at Mo Hua deeply.Now this child, Mo Hua, his eyes also seemed to be growing up, becoming an elegant young man with a warm and jade-like demeanor, clear eyebrows, and an appearance resembling a heavenly being.This Elder, who habitually acted as a matchmaker, liked him more and more the more she looked at him."Such a good child, who knows which family's little girl will end up with him in the future..."Elder Gu Hong thought silently in her heart.After a moment of polite conversation, it was time to part.Mo Hua stood at the entrance, saluting the group of elders and Aunt Wan, saying, "During my cultivation days in Qianxue, I am deeply grateful for the care of all seniors. Mo Hua is endlessly thankful."The usually rigid Gu Shouyan also showed a smile upon hearing this, saying, "Little friend Mo, you are too kind."Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua with a face full of concern, "You must take good care of yourself."Elder Gu Hong patted Mo Hua's palm and said sincerely, "When you go out in the future, you must protect yourself well."Yu'er also had a look of reluctance, "Brother Mo, take care."Mo Hua smiled and nodded, patted Yu'er's head, and then bowed to everyone before turning around and boarding the carriage, setting off on the road back to Taixu Gate.This separation meant years apart, with the possibility of meeting again difficult to predict.After returning to Taixu Gate, within two days, the final major event was settled.The rankings for the Sword Discussion Assembly, including the entire Discussion Dao Assembly, were finally finalized.Taixu Gate won the first place in the Sword Discussion and the first place in the Array Discussion, and as expected, also won the first place in the Qianxue Discussion Dao.In other words, Taixu Gate is now truly the number one sect in Qianxue.And the reform of the sects is to be re-discussed based on the ranking of the Discussion Dao.Taixu Gate also became the head of the "Four Great Sects" of Qianxue.This was originally the situation everyone expected, but the final reality was quite different.After the discussion by the Dao Court Tianquan Pavilion, for some unknown reason, they did not classify Taixu Gate as one of the "Four Great Sects", but listed it separately, making "Taixu Gate" parallel to the Four Great Sects.Taixu Gate, one gate, three mountains.Therefore, the final sect pattern in Qianxue State became:Three mountains, four great sects, eight great gates, twelve flows, and below Qianxue hundred gates, and thousands of small sects.Three mountains, four sects, eight gates, twelve flows.They also became the most top-tier "sect academies" in Qianxue State.Nominally, Taixu Gate, one gate, three mountains, is parallel to the four great sects and does not distinguish between high and low, but because the "three mountains" are ranked first, it still faintly surpasses the "four great sects."Once the decision of Tianquan Pavilion was released, Qianxue State was shocked.Almost everyone did not expect things to develop like this."Three mountains, four sects, eight gates, three mountains suppress four sects...""Isn't this elevating Taixu Gate too much?""Does Taixu Gate have connections in Tianquan Pavilion? Are the elders of Tianquan Pavilion giving Taixu Gate preferential treatment?""Too ridiculous...""If they were parallel to the four great sects, whoever gets first would still need to compete. Now they are directly given the title of 'three mountains,' who is high and who is low is clear at a glance.""From now on, Taixu Gate will likely truly sit on the throne of the number one sect in Qianxue.""How can this position be so easy to sit on? In my opinion, such a newly emerged sect, after all, has an unstable foundation and does not live up to its name. Anyway, I will not send my child to Taixu Gate to cultivate.""I advise everyone, don't send the excellent disciples of your clan to Taixu Gate, lest Taixu Gate mislead the children...""That's right, just...""Only fools would send disciples to Taixu Gate."But privately, the actions of most cultivators were only one:Send them to Taixu Gate.All that talk is nonsense. The sect ranking is real, and the talk of not living up to the name is even more foolish. If Taixu Gate didn't have some strength, where would the ranking come from?Three mountains, four sects.If you don't send disciples to the three mountains, do you take a step back and send them to the four great sects?There is only one name for the three mountains, called Taixu Gate.There are four great sects.Whose name is more resounding, do you still need to ask?No matter what they said, most cultivators' actions were still very honest.Some people even deliberately fanned the flames, spread rumors and slanders, said bad things about Taixu Gate, and encouraged everyone not to apply to Taixu Gate, so that their own children and the disciples of their clan could have more opportunities to enter Taixu Gate.For a time, Taixu Gate became the most controversial, but also the most popular great sect in the entire Qianxue State.And everyone in Taixu Gate was overjoyed.One gate, three mountains, four sects, eight gates!One day, not only could they join the ranks of the top sects in Qianxue State, but they could even surpass the four great sects.Although this decision by Tianquan Pavilion was a bit strange, there were definitely some unknown schemes hidden within.But no matter what, this was a great matter for Taixu Gate to glorify the sect and bring honor to its ancestors.From now on, they are nominally the number one sect in Qianxue!Not only the Dongxu old ancestors sighed with emotion.The masters of the three mountains were amazed, and many elders and disciples were overjoyed.And all of this for Taixu Gate was thanks to the united efforts of the sect disciples.Among them, the greatest credit naturally goes to the "little senior brother," Mo Hua."What little senior brother said before was actually true!""He actually led us, forcefully raising the sect from the bottom of the eight great gates to above the four great sects!""When we entered cultivation, we were still disciples of the eight great gates, and now in the blink of an eye, we are already disciples of the number one sect in Qianxue?!"A group of disciples all felt like they were in a dream, finding it hard to believe.Mo Hua's already "transcendent" status in the sect instantly rose even higher.Among the Taixu Gate disciples, Mo Hua was greatly trusted and admired.Whenever there was a banquet or meal, there would be a group of disciples lining up to toast Mo Hua.To them, the word "senior brother" was just a title.But the words "little senior brother" were a belief.Even in the presence of the old ancestors of Tai'a Mountain and Chongxu Mountain, Mo Hua began to have "face."The old ancestors of Tai'a Mountain and Chongxu Mountain specifically invited Mo Hua to drink tea.During the tea session, the old ancestors sat in the main seat, and Mo Hua sat in the secondary seat.The masters of Tai'a and Chongxu Mountains then sat at the bottom seats, boiling tea and pouring tea for the old ancestors, and also conveniently pouring tea for Mo Hua.During the meeting, Tai'a Mountain and Chongxu Mountain expressed concern and condolences to Mo Hua, asking him if he wanted to enter the inner gate of Tai'a Mountain or Chongxu Mountain. If he did, they would open a separate genealogy for Mo Hua, and from now on, Tai'a Mountain and Chongxu Mountain would have a branch with the surname "Mo."Mo Hua was very moved, but politely refused.The old ancestors of Tai'a Mountain and Chongxu Mountain were very regretful, but they felt even more that Mo Hua, who could maintain his original intention and not be moved by profit, was a promising talent.Afterward, the two old ancestors chatted with Mo Hua for a long time.Although the tea meeting did not result in a "deal," both the host and guests were pleased.And Taixu Gate won the first place in the Sword Discussion, and Mo Hua also got what he wanted as wished.Elder Xun handed an array diagram to Mo Hua.This array diagram was the reward attached by Tian Shu Pavilion for the first place in the Qianxue Sword Discussion, a rare array method called the "Yimu Huichun Array."This array method was a medical array method that was gradually eliminated by the alchemy path because its application was single, its category was narrow, and it was inconvenient to construct.This was not just one array method. Mo Hua flipped through it and discovered that this "Yimu Huichun Array" was actually a whole set of array methods.It contained a complete set of Yimu-class medical array method inheritance from first grade to fourth grade.This was indeed a very valuable inheritance.Just...Mo Hua frowned, "Can this Yimu Huichun Array save Master?"Why?Mo Hua was clearer than anyone else that his Master's injury involved heavenly machine cause and effect, life and death qi mechanism, and was fundamentally not a simple flesh wound.What role could this Yimu Huichun Array play?Mo Hua examined this Yimu Huichun Array again. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something strange about it. Perhaps it hid profound mysteries, but he could not comprehend them and could only temporarily keep it and slowly research it later.Mo Hua put this complete set of Yimu Huichun Array into his storage ring.In the following days, Taixu Gate was endlessly lively.Because the rankings were fixed, unlike before, many families, sects, and other cultivation forces, as well as certain cultivation experts, sent congratulatory gifts to Taixu Gate.In front of Taixu Gate, there was a constant stream of carriages and a crowd of people.Up and down Taixu Gate, there was also an atmosphere of joy.This bustling atmosphere continued for nearly a month.During this time, the sect conducted its final year-end assessment.Mo Hua's results were the same as before, again ranking sixth in the first class, third place.His status was high again, but if he didn't test well, he didn't test well. No elders would "favoritism" and give him a high score.But Mo Hua, looking at the familiar "first class six third," instead felt a bit relieved, and then, let out a deep sigh.He knew that everything had truly ended.Nine years of cultivation at Taixu Gate finally came to a close.The sect disciples began to leave the sect one after another.His little junior brothers also successively said goodbye to him, each going their own way.First was Linghu Xiao.Although he was a disciple of Chongxu Mountain, he chose to go out and train, visit Sword Mountain, spar sword arts, seek the sword dao, and then find a fated encounter to form his dan.Linghu Xiao was not good with words, his eyes held ten thousand thoughts, he only cupped his hands and said:"Little senior brother, mountains and rivers meet again."Mo Hua also cupped his hands, "Mountains and rivers meet again, Xiao Xiao, take care. You must become a remarkable great sword cultivator."Linghu Xiao, who rarely smiled, unexpectedly showed a hint of a smile, then took a deep breath, nodded to Mo Hua, and then, one person and one sword, followed an elder from Chongxu Mountain to roam the nine states and seek the sword dao.Afterward were Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Yang Qianjun, Hao Xuan, Xie Ling... and so on.Some returned to their clans, some traveled, some joined elders, some inherited family businesses, and some could only rely on themselves to make a way out...Everyone had their own life and destiny.Before everyone left, they all came to see Mo Hua, toasted him a cup, were reluctant in their hearts, but generously said:"Little senior brother, the dao path is long, see you later..."And then, they would all add a sentence:"Later, if you return to Qian State, or go to Kun State / Kan State / Li State / Gen State / Zhen State / Xun State / Dui State... you must visit my Hao family / Lu family / Chu family / Situ family / Cheng family / Xie family / Zheng family / Feng family / Yang family / Zhuge family / Han family... as a guest.""...If you encounter any trouble, report my name, absolutely no one would dare slight little senior brother."Mo Hua's expression was helpless, but his heart was quite moved.Just like this, everyone left one by one.Living together, attending classes, and cultivating every day, they didn't feel anything. Now that they were suddenly separated, thinking about when they would meet again, their hearts were all heavy, and their eyes were slightly red.Cultivators have long lifespans, but shallow fates.After this separation, whether they can meet again in the vast cultivation world in the rest of their lives truly depends on heaven's will and fate.Worldly encounters, joys and sorrows, parting and reunion, always make people feel lonely.Just like this, the same sect junior partners who used to accompany him day and night all left one by one.The disciples' residence also quieted down.Mo Hua, as the "little senior brother," saw them off one by one, and in the end, only he was left alone.He didn't hurry to leave.Because he carried too much karma. Once he left, he didn't know when he would return.There were some people he hadn't had time to see, and some matters he hadn't had time to handle.So Mo Hua set aside a little time for himself.And during this period, Elder Xun called Mo Hua again and specifically confirmed his intention again.The two of them were in the Taixu ancient building, looking at the hazy rain and mist, drinking clear tea."Are you sure you don't want to stay in the inner gate?""Yes." Mo Hua nodded.He had a personal master, and his master's grace to him was like a mountain. He would only have this one master in his lifetime.Elder Xun also knew this in his heart, so he was not surprised."Then do you want to go home?" Elder Xun asked.Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, I want to go back home first, to see Dad and Mom... I've been away from home for ten years, I don't know how Dad and Mom are. I always want to see them to feel at ease.""Afterward?" Elder Xun asked."I haven't thought about it properly..." Mo Hua pondered for a moment, and asked, "Elder Xun, I want to..."Elder Xun shook his head, "Don't say it. Some plans, keep them in your heart, don't tell others, not even me. The heavenly machine karma on your body is heavy. Once you reveal a secret, you will be calculated by others, thereby inviting disaster.""Yes," Mo Hua said, "I know.""And one more point..." Elder Xun paused slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I and True Person Situ also discussed, you previously... provoked infinite killing karma. The killing karma turned into evil, leading to your fate reversing. Now, within your fate, extreme fierceness and evil gather. If you are not careful, it is possible... that you will never recover from ten thousand tribulations..."Mo Hua's heart tightened, and he frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"Elder Xun sighed, and said in a condensed voice:"The killing means of divine sense, if not necessary, try not to use them. Otherwise, they will make your divine soul shake, hook your inner killing intent, thereby leading to evil qi backlash and imbalance of fate.""When you are forced to use them, try to be restrained.""Also, try to avoid overdrawing your divine consciousness, otherwise your fate will easily lose control and the evil qi will become violent.""When you go out in the future, encounter matters, you must also keep a calm heart. If you can avoid killing, then don't kill.""If you must kill, also try to be restrained, don't kill too many.""Control your killing karma a bit, you can't let it get heavier..."As he spoke, Elder Xun himself felt absurd.Was he teaching a righteous path disciple?Which righteous path disciple in which family needs to be told to "control your killing karma a bit"?Elder Xun sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.Mo Hua then remembered Elder Xun's words one by one in his heart.If you don't listen to the elder's words, you will suffer.Elder Xun's special admonitions must be kept in mind and cannot be neglected.As for the so-called "controlling killing karma a bit," Mo Hua felt there was no big problem.He had always treated people with kindness. Although he had a little "hate evil as an enemy," he truly killed very few people.The matter of the blood sacrifice array was purely forced by the situation, and he had no choice.How could he possibly kill so many people afterward?"Elder, I have remembered everything." Mo Hua nodded and said.Elder Xun saw that Mo Hua's attitude was serious and that he was clearly listening, and his heart felt a little more at ease.Then he looked at Mo Hua deeply again, and sighed in his heart:"No matter how reluctant you are, you always have to let the child go out and make his own way.""Just... leaving Taixu Gate, leaving Qianxue State, there may be no one to take care of him anymore. The outside world is too chaotic, small temples have strong demonic winds, and there are too many ghosts and monsters..."Elder Xun pondered for a moment, then took out something like a jade slip and handed it to Mo Hua.Mo Hua took it, looked at it for a moment, and asked curiously, "Elder, what is this?""Sect 'Yu Yin'." Elder Xun said."Yu Yin?""Yes." Elder Xun nodded, "It's a jade slip used for 'recommendation.' After each disciple graduates from the sect, they will ask some elders in the gate to sign their name to find a way out, or purely use it for mutual recommendation and discussion among cultivators and dao friends."Mo Hua suddenly realized.This was probably a bit like the sect's "recommendation letter," and a bit like the disciple's master gate's "business card.""Every disciple has one?" Mo Hua was a little strange, "Why didn't I know this before?"Elder Xun said silently, "Maybe everyone feels you don't need this..."This kind of "Yu Yin" is signed by elders.Mo Hua's status is high enough to be ranked in front of the old ancestors, and no elder would be presumptuous enough to "recommend" Mo Hua for anything.But the problem is, Mo Hua doesn't plan to stay in Qianxue State.He is leaving.Once he leaves Qianxue State, the outside world is different.Elder Xun said, "Some formalities are still necessary. In Taixu Gate, in Qianxue State, no one dares to look down on you.""But when you go out of Qianxue State, the world is so big, with mixed fish and dragons, and it's a chance encounter, no one knows who you are.""If you always hide your abilities and bide your time, not revealing your reputation, then it doesn't matter.""But if you occasionally want to do something convenient, without proof, and with empty words, others will only think you are bragging.""So, something like Yu Yin is still necessary. At least outside, if you encounter your past Taixu Gate teachers, senior brothers, or senior sisters, you can still build a relationship.""Although cultivators' cultivation is important, connections are also something that cannot be neglected."After saying that, Elder Xun first signed his name in the "Yu Yin" for Mo Hua, and then said:"Take this and find more elders, let them all sign for you a bit. Just say I told you to.""Yes." Mo Hua held the Yu Yin, feeling endlessly grateful.Afterward, Mo Hua held the Yu Yin given by Elder Xun and went to find elders to "sign."The first ones he found were all the elders he was familiar with and had good relationships with.For example, Elder Xun Zi You, Elder Xun Zi Xian, the gentle and beautiful Elder Murong, Elder Yi who taught him dao law, the elders who taught him inheritance, and Elder Song who was responsible for the mountain gate attendance and often gave him leave slips... and so on.Then, this news, for some reason, spread.Many elders actively sought out Mo Hua, wanting to sign for him.But they felt awkward actively opening their mouths, so they just pretended to "encounter" him, and then looked at Mo Hua eagerly.Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Elder, disciple has an impolite request..."That elder then said, "Oh, it's the sect Yu Yin, isn't it? That's easy, that's easy. I'll sign, I'll sign..."As he spoke, his face was full of joy.Finally, more and more elders from the three mountains all "encountered" Mo Hua like this, and then signed their names on his Yu Yin.Generally speaking, it is an honor for disciples for elders to sign their Yu Yin.To Mo Hua, it was the other way around. Whoever signed for Mo Hua had "face."Whoever didn't sign was one level lower.Even, when elders signed for other disciples, they signed in a flamboyant manner, afraid it wasn't elegant enough.But when they signed for Mo Hua, they signed every stroke and every dot very neatly, afraid Mo Hua wouldn't recognize it.After the elders finished signing, the old ancestors also couldn't escape.The old ancestor of Tai'a Mountain called Mo Hua to drink tea, unintentionally mentioned the matter of the Yu Yin, and conveniently signed for Mo Hua.The old ancestor of Chongxu Mountain was not to be left behind either.Then the masters of the three mountains also signed.At this point, on Mo Hua's "sect Yu Yin," there were dense signatures, almost filling it with the names of everyone from the old ancestors to the masters and elders of Taixu Gate's three mountains.
