"It's still in Mo Hua's hands." Xun Ziyou replied.
This thing was "deceptively obtained" by Mo Hua from Young Master Xuan, so it naturally belonged to Mo Hua, and Xun Ziyou didn't ask for it.
Even though this thing is of great significance.
But precisely because the Dragon Vein is too significant, leaving it in Mo Hua's hands might not be a good thing.
"Should we... get the Dragon Vein back?" Xun Ziyou frowned, "I'm afraid leaving this thing with Mo Hua could invite disaster..."
Elder Master Xun pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "There's no rush. Let him play with it for now. Once he's tired of it, he'll naturally hand it over."
"If he doesn't understand it himself and you ask for it, he'll be unhappy."
Xun Ziyou: "..."
Alright, these ancestors and elders always have to consider Mo Hua's little moods before acting.
But it's also a good thing that the Dragon Vein is kept for now.
Xun Ziyou said, "The remnants of the Great Wilderness have always been plotting rebellion. Now that the prince of the Great Wilderness has died at the bottom of Solitary Mountain's tomb, and the Dragon Vein has ended up in Mo Hua's hands..."
"With the heritage lost and the bloodline severed, I reckon they can't stir up any great trouble. The battles in the Southern Wilderness will probably cease soon..."
Xun Ziyou sighed softly, "When the battles stop, fewer people will die..."
Elder Master Xun nodded slightly but had an ominous feeling lurking in his heart.
Things might not be so simple.
Having been through several tough battles at Solitary Mountain, Xun Ziyou was weary in body and mind and didn't think too much at this moment.
"Elder, there's another matter..."
Xun Ziyou relayed what Mo Hua said about the Taixu Gate predecessor using the Divine Thought into sword True Jue to slay the fallen Mountain God to Elder Master Xun.
Elder Master Xun pondered for a moment, then nodded, "There was indeed such a matter."
"Really?" Xun Ziyou was taken aback.
"It's an old story," Elder Master Xun recalled, "In our Taixu Gate, there are indeed records of a Sword Cultivator predecessor slaying the Mountain God of Guhuang Mountain, but the details are vague, and the exact reasons and process are unclear."
Xun Ziyou nodded, "Then what Mo Hua said is true..."
That's good... He almost absurdly thought that it was Mo Hua who used the Divine Thought into sword.
Afterward, Elder Master Xun and Xun Ziyou chatted a bit more, asked about some details, and then waved his hand, "You've worked hard on this matter, you should go back and rest early."
Xun Ziyou nodded, "Alright, then I take my leave, Elder."
Xun Ziyou turned to leave but couldn't help his curiosity and asked in a low voice:
"Elder, what do you think... this child Mo Hua went to Solitary Mountain for?"
Elder Master Xun paused, didn't say anything, just shook his head and said, "Go get some rest."
"Yes."
Xun Ziyou was just curious. Since the Elder didn't say, he didn't press further, bowed slightly, and left.
After Xun Ziyou left, Elder Master Xun couldn't help but furrow his brows.
He also found it strange.
This whole Solitary Mountain incident, though it involved significant karma, what connection did it have with Mo Hua?
Why did he ignore the danger and plunge himself into it?
Or, rather, what was Mo Hua aiming for?
Elder Master Xun's brows furrowed tightly.
...
Within the Disciple's Residence.
Mo Hua first placed the Lifebound Divine Statue of Lord Yellow Mountain inside his cabinet, sealing it with a Formation to prevent others from seeing it.
Of course, ordinary people shouldn't be able to see it, but it's always wise to prevent the unexpected.
Then, Mo Hua pressed the Dragon Vein, wrapped in a piece of black cloth by Young Master Xuan, under his pillow.
He planned to study the Dragon Vein later.
Lastly, he burned incense and bathed, and when 1 p.m arrived, he couldn't wait to enter the Sea of Consciousness.
After entering the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua took out a strand of Third Grade Divine Marrow, resplendent with golden light and invaluable.
Good things should never be kept, or they could cause problems.
To avoid long nights full of dreams, he planned to consume the Divine Marrow tonight.
If his calculations were correct, within the Divine Marrow lay the opportunity for his Divine Sense to break through to Twenty Patterns.
