“Qian Dao Sect clearly saw that Mo Hua, this child, is a rogue cultivator, with no identity, no background, and no one to support him. So they bullied him, truly excessive!”

Wen Ren Wan said angrily, “I will support him!”

Shang Guan Yi smiled bitterly, “He is not a member of the Wen Ren family, nor the Shang Guan family. How can we support him?”

“He saved Yu’er; he has graced our two families!” Wen Ren Wan said stubbornly.

Shang Guan Yi said helplessly, “Didn’t you say this matter cannot be publicized, cannot be told to outsiders? Then how would others know that he has graced our two families?”

“Without reason, you go to Qian Dao Sect to seek justice for him. In the eyes of others, aren’t you deliberately provoking them and making an enemy of Qian Dao Sect?”

“Qian Dao Sect is a top sect…”

“Even if it’s our Shang Guan family, we can’t easily offend them.” Shang Guan Yi advised earnestly.

Wen Ren Wan frowned and asked Shang Guan Yi, “Then what should we do?”

Shang Guan Yi was slightly happy in his heart but still feigned a difficult expression on the surface, thinking for a moment intentionally, then said:

“Or… we can use our connections in the Hundred Gates of Qian State to find a sect for Mo Hua, which would also count as repaying Yu’er’s karma.”

“No good!” Wen Ren Wan immediately shook her head and questioned, “Yu’er’s life is only worth a quota in the Hundred Gates of Qian State? You agree, I still don’t.”

Shang Guan Yi was startled, sighed, “Four Great Sects, although we can get quotas, the spiritual root barrier is insurmountable…”

“Then the Eight Great Gates!” Wen Ren Wan said, “Cannot go any lower!”

“Twelve Streams…”

Shang Guan Yi was interrupted by Wen Ren Wan before he finished, “No good, the cultivation of the Twelve Streams is too biased. Even if one specializes in one path, they must have an understanding of other categories, otherwise, their experience will be limited, their vision narrow, and they will easily stumble in low-level places in the future.”

“My father said this is the knowledge barrier of cultivation.”

“Some things are very superficial, but knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing.”

“These superficial things seem like common sense, and after knowing them, it’s no big deal, but if you don’t know them, even if your talent is high and your comprehension is good, you can ponder for a lifetime and possibly get stuck in a dead end without understanding.”

“Mo Hua is a rogue cultivator; his foundation is originally weak and he absolutely cannot enter these ‘Twelve Streams’ sects, otherwise, he will be obstructed by a single leaf in the future, encountering barriers everywhere, and his Dao path will surely be rugged.”

“He must enter a cultivation sect with a long inheritance and complete categories!”

“The Four Great Sects are really hard to enter, so forget it, at least the Eight Great Gates!” Wen Ren Wan said categorically.

Shang Guan Yi was somewhat surprised; he didn’t expect his wife to have such understanding and to consider so far-reaching for Mo Hua.

Although she acts rashly due to her emotional nature, she treats people with genuine sincerity and truly thinks for others…

Shang Guan Yi sighed, “But the Eight Great Gates… are not easy to enter either ah…”

A middle-to-lower-grade spiritual root is too far off.

Not to mention, his rogue cultivator background and lack of inheritance have resulted in that shallow foundation of blood energy, spirit power, and Dao foundation.

Wen Ren Wan persisted, “If the Shang Guan family doesn’t work, there’s still the Wen Ren family. If the Wen Ren family doesn’t work, then the Shang Guan family plus the Wen Ren family together can surely muster this much face.”

Shang Guan Yi said in a low voice, “Is that mobilizing too many troops?”

Wen Ren Wan only said, “Just tell me if you’re helping or not!”

Shang Guan Yi hesitated, unable to speak.

To help would involve too many favors.

Not to help, his wife would be unhappy.

Moreover, Yu’er’s matter is indeed a significant favor…

Shang Guan Yi was in a dilemma, but seeing his wife’s beautiful face and a pair of affectionate eyes, he finally sighed and said, “I’ll try…”

Wen Ren Wan was happy in her heart, with a smile on her face, but the smile froze halfway as she remembered she was still angry with her husband, so she forcibly endured it and said, “Then I’ll go find my father.”

“This… isn’t too good…”

“What’s not good? Even if I’m married out, am I not still his daughter?”

Wen Ren Wan thought for a moment, patted Shang Guan Yi’s shoulder, “I’ll wait for your good news…”

After speaking, she left lightly like a startled swan.

Shang Guan Yi sighed again.

This is not a small matter…

To put a little cultivator with a middle-to-lower-grade spiritual root, no identity or background, and a rough foundation into one of the superior Eight Great Gates within the Qian Xue State requires a considerable cost.

However, since he had promised his wife, he couldn’t break his promise.

Moreover…

Mo Hua’s vague, unfathomable figure floated in his mind again.

Clearly just a little cultivator…

Why did he feel like he couldn’t see through him?

Shang Guan Yi was somewhat uneasy and then found Gu Chang Huai, asking, “When Yu’er was ‘robbed’, no, when she was saved, were there any other suspicious signs in that food shop?”

Gu Chang Huai frowned, “What do you mean?”

Shang Guan Yi thought for a moment and then said truthfully, “I suspect that Mo Hua might not be that simple; he… might have some special karma…”

Gu Chang Huai was slightly startled, “Karma?”

Shang Guan Yi thought for a bit and still said, “His saving Yu’er might not have been a coincidence.”

“In the world, one drink, one peck; this might be an opportunity sent by others to him…”

Gu Chang Huai’s gaze slightly condensed, “You mean…”

Shang Guan Yi deliberated, “I guess… it’s some mysterious and unfathomable cultivator with great power who is proficient in heavenly calculations. He saved Yu’er, and then gave this opportunity to this child named ‘Mo Hua’…”

Gu Chang Huai frowned, “Why?”

Shang Guan Yi shook his head, “I still don’t understand.”

Gu Chang Huai’s gaze became slightly cold and he nodded.

But in his heart, he knew it was probably not just that simple.

He always vaguely felt that the deaths of the dozen human traffickers in the food shop were somewhat strange.

And Mo Hua, he had seen his face; although he looked innocent, his gaze was extremely profound.

Both innocent and with a trace of… strangeness.

People cannot be judged by appearance, even if it’s just a child…

Gu Chang Huai was suspicious and somewhat apprehensive in his heart.

However, he always found this cousin-in-law unpleasant, so these words, he only kept them in his heart and didn’t say them…

After several days, Wen Ren Wan was busy with Mo Hua’s sect quota, and Shang Guan Yi was also helping.

Both of them used quite a few family connections and paid a large amount of spirit stones, still owing a considerable debt of human favors.

These matters aroused some dissatisfaction in both the Shang Guan and Wen Ren families.

For the Wen Ren family, Wen Ren Wan is a married-out daughter.

A married-out daughter is like spilled water.

But she is not only not helping at all now, but she is also coming back to pluck wool from her own family; this is truly unacceptable…

As for the Shang Guan family, spending the Shang Guan family’s resources to help an unknown little cultivator touched the interests of quite a few people.

Many disciples of the Shang Guan family’s own clan do not have entrance quotas to the Eight Great Gates.

Now, without reason, one is to be given to an outsider.

They themselves are naturally unwilling.

And each family’s entrance quota is also related to the family’s face and involves a part of their interests.

If the person who enters the sect does evil or is mediocre, it will tarnish the Shang Guan family’s reputation.

Of course, if he achieves something, it can also bring some benefits to the recommending Shang Guan family.

But this is Qian State; what achievements can an outsider of average qualifications have by entering the Eight Great Gates, where heavenly talents are like clouds?

They wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Therefore, quite a few Shang Guan family elders discussed Shang Guan Yi’s mistakes in front of the family head, Shang Guan Ce.

Shang Guan Ce then called Shang Guan Yi and publicly rebuked him, “Wan’er’s matter is excessive…”

“Since she joined the Shang Guan family, she should put the Shang Guan family’s interests first.”

“You must act with the big picture in mind and not be dragged by her into doing some unruly things…”

Shang Guan Yi did not retort, only lowered his head and admitted his mistakes, taking all the blame upon himself and saying, “This child will certainly pay attention next time.”

He could admit to the mistake, but he would absolutely not change.

Next time, certainly means that this matter will be carried out to the end, and he will pay attention next time…

Shang Guan Ce sighed.

His son, though scheming, is quite articulate.

His actions are also not a problem.

Since this matter has already started, it should naturally be carried through to the end.

To suffer some pressure and then change course would instead make people feel weak and indecisive.

It’s nothing more than giving a little cultivator an opportunity; whether to give it or not is not a major mistake.

But he is too emotional.

Moreover, this matter, from beginning to end, still needs him, as a father, to clean up.

Shang Guan Ce waved his hand, “You may go.”

Shang Guan Yi bowed and left.

Shang Guan Ce still frowned.

For this matter, he still needs to apologize to the old ancestors.

The old ancestors, with vast cultivation, are hidden and do not come out.

They are the true masters of the Shang Guan family.

They scheme in secret, planning the Shang Guan family’s heavenly mechanisms and deducing the Shang Guan family’s great karma.

The Shang Guan family, or rather, all the families in Qian State that can be called “colossal,” have their fate in the hands of these old ancestors.

No matter what, the old ancestors cannot be made unhappy.

Shang Guan Ce sighed and wrinkled his brows.

But what exactly are the old ancestors planning?

What exactly is the fate of the Shang Guan family?

These matters, although his cultivation is not low, he cannot deduce them and does not know the heavenly mechanisms, so he knows nothing…

Shang Guan Ce looked up at the sky, only to see the vastness, mirroring his own bewildered expression.

A moment later, he sighed in his heart, “Heavenly mechanism… what is it exactly?”

“Why, can’t I even calculate it?”

“Without comprehending the heavenly mechanism, without being able to deduce karma, no matter how high one’s cultivation is, they are all just others, the old ancestors, those old monsters, and even the ‘toys’ of the heavenly Dao ah…”

Shang Guan Ce’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Shang Guan Yi was rebuked, but the matter of entering the sect was, however, brought into the open.

This matter was half done and had “sunk costs,” so it basically couldn’t be stopped halfway.

The people from other branches of the Shang Guan family just wanted Shang Guan Yi to be rebuked and didn’t care what he actually did.

Shang Guan Yi then seized the time and openly began to use connections and pull strings, working with Wen Ren Wan to seek an entrance quota for Mo Hua.

Several days later, Wen Ren Wan found Mo Hua and placed three gold-stamped invitation cards in front of him.

Written on them were the names of three sects:

Tai A Gate, Chong Xu Gate, and Tai Xu Gate.

Mo Hua was startled, “Aunt Wan, this is…”

“These are worship cards to enter the sect. Take a look and see which one you want to enter. I will submit the worship card for you. These three sects are all ranked among the ‘Eight Great Gates’; although they can’t compare to the ‘Four Great Sects’, they are also quite good…”

Wen Ren Wan’s tone was light, but she couldn’t hide the slight pride in her eyebrows.

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, very surprised.

“Eight Great Gates… and I can still choose…”

He thought for a moment, lowering his voice, “Aunt Wan, these… are very precious…”

“So-so, it’s nothing…” Wen Ren Wan said lightly, seemingly not wanting Mo Hua to feel too burdened.

Mo Hua was moved in his heart.

Since he came to Qian State, Aunt Wan is the person who has treated him best. Although it was because he saved Yu’er, she spared no effort and knew how to repay kindness, which is also extremely rare.

“Aunt Wan, this…” Mo Hua’s expression was complex.

“Don’t take it to heart…” Wen Ren Wan said, “This is all what you deserve…”

“But…”

Wen Ren Wan immediately frowned, “I spent a lot of effort to get these; don’t say you don’t want them!”

Her gaze was sincere and earnest, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Mo Hua’s heart felt a little warm, and he looked at the several worship cards, thinking silently.

He indeed wanted to enter a sect.

Although he could rely on himself to draw arrays for people and earn spirit stones, he could also survive in Qian Xue State and then look for opportunities.

But this would delay too much time, and he might not necessarily encounter any opportunities.

If it dragged on, his cultivation would be delayed.

His progress in arrays would also be delayed.

He didn’t know when he could save his Master…

Mo Hua looked at Wen Ren Wan, seeing a trace of concern in her eyes, obviously very attentive to this matter, and truly for his own good…

Mo Hua let go in his heart, nodded, and no longer pretended.

Even heroes have difficult times, let alone someone who is still a child.

When you shouldn’t be strong, there’s no need to be.

When others are good to you, simply accept their good intentions.

Later, when you have the opportunity, repay this kindness!

“Thank you, Aunt Wan!” Mo Hua smiled and silently remembered this intention.

Wen Ren Wan also relaxed and then smiled brightly, “You quickly choose, which one do you like?”

“Can I really choose?”

“Yes.”

Mo Hua looked at the three worship cards for a bit and suddenly wondered, “Tai A, Chong Xu, Tai Xu… these three names, why do they feel somewhat similar…”

“It’s from the same line of inheritance…” Wen Ren Wan explained, “The ancestors of these three sects have some origins. It’s not wrong to say they are ‘from the same root and branch’…”

“Only now things have changed and times have shifted; now they are completely three independent sects, just with similar names.”

Wen Ren Wan added, “These three gates all have a good relationship with my Wen Ren family, and some connection with the Shang Guan family, although not deep. Now I am using the human favors of both the Wen Ren and Shang Guan families, so I exchanged these three worship cards, but you can only choose one.”

“Okay.” Mo Hua nodded.

He frowned at the three sects, looking at them for a long time, and after deep thought, he decided, “Aunt Wan, I choose ‘Tai Xu Gate’…”

Wen Ren Wan was startled, “Why would you choose Tai Xu Gate?”

Mo Hua had his own thoughts.

Tai A Gate and Chong Xu Gate are mid-to-upper stream, which also means the sect threshold is higher, the cost of entering is greater, and Aunt Wan will owe greater human favors.

Since that’s the case, choosing the last-stream “Tai Xu Gate” would be better.

Moreover, Mo Hua didn’t want to compete with heavenly talents.

He only wanted to cultivate steadily and quietly learn arrays.

As one of the Eight Great Gates, Tai Xu Gate, whether it’s inheritance or cultivation resources, is enough for him to use.

Of course, there’s another reason.

Mo Hua’s face was serious, “Tai Xu Gate sounds more handsome…”

Poor extreme heaven Dao, divine tour Tai Xu!

Tai Xu Gate!

Wen Ren Wan was startled, her thoughts momentarily chaotic, and she couldn’t help but think to herself: This child Mo Hua, his thinking is indeed somewhat… different from ordinary people…

“Have you… really thought it through?”

“Yes.” Mo Hua nodded seriously.

Wen Ren Wan tactfully said, “Tai A Gate and Chong Xu Gate will be better, and the sect’s strength will also be stronger…”

Mo Hua’s small face was firm, “Sect strength is only temporary; being handsome or not is a lifelong matter!”

Wen Ren Wan opened her mouth, speechless, and finally only sighed, “Okay…”

“Right,” Wen Ren Wan added, “Do you have anything you’re good at… I can write it on the worship card, and then I’ll have an excuse, no, a reason to recommend you to others…”

Mo Hua said, “I’m still okay at arrays…”

“Arrays?” Wen Ren Wan hesitated a bit, not good at saying it directly, only tactfully, “And others?”

She felt that Mo Hua came from a small immortal city and might not be very clear.

Qian State is a blessed land for cultivation.

Arrays are vast and profound.

In a place like Qian State, you absolutely shouldn’t casually say “I’m good at arrays”; it’s easy to be laughed at…

Mo Hua said, “I’m really still okay at arrays…”

He took out a first-grade Tian Shu Ring and showed it to Wen Ren Wan.

Although he could draw second-grade arrays, they were not fixed grades after all, and he was not yet a second-grade initial array master, so it wasn’t good to boast.

It’s better to be humble as a person.

“You are actually a first-grade array master?” Wen Ren Wan was somewhat surprised.

Even in a place like Qian State, there are not many family children Mo Hua’s age who can become first-grade array masters.

Even if Tong Xian City is a small immortal city and its fixed grades are somewhat loose, and its array level is somewhat backward.

The first-grade there, compared to the first-grade in Qian State, might be “worlds apart,” but it’s also very not easy.

Saying “good at arrays” is barely acceptable and can be passed off.

At least on the surface, he has a “specialty,” which is also easy to explain.

Wen Ren Wan relaxed and nodded.

This matter was then decided.

And Mo Hua also planned to go to Tai Xu Gate.

However, why he was going to Tai Xu Gate still had one most important reason that he didn’t tell Wen Ren Wan.

Divine tour Tai Xu…

When he saw the three words “Tai Xu Gate,” his divine sense slightly moved, and after silently deducing, he found a trace of obscure karma in the darkness.

Although this trace of karma was obscure, it was clearer compared to when he had deduced in the past.

In the karma.

In the barren mountain broken temple, the evil thoughts of Huang Shan Jun that had been chopped off floated in Mo Hua’s mind again.

Only a few hurried images.

But different from how Mo Hua saw Huang Shan Jun.

Its momentum was extremely strong, its body also extremely huge, and its eyes were soaked with blood. Boundless ferocity and evil thoughts intertwined around its body.

At the same time, what appeared with it was a sword energy that pierced the heavens, with a stern name of killing intent:

Tai Xu Divine Thought Turn Sword True Formula!
