c1709: 873: Opening the Casket (Part 3)

"What is it?"

"It’s about the Taia Sect and the Rushing Void Sect..."

Mo Hua’s gaze slightly narrowed.

Wang Chen said, "On the Rouge Boat, there are quite a few disciples from the Taia Sect and the Rushing Void Sect. Once this matter is investigated, the problem becomes too significant."

"The main issue is still the Dao Conference."

"It seems the Taia Sect and the Rushing Void Sect are trying to manipulate the Taoist Court, but it seems not too smoothly. If the negotiation fails, then at this Dao Conference, these two sects are likely doomed..."

Wang Chen shook his head, with some sighs.

"And the Taixu Sect is in the same alliance with the Taia Sect and the Rushing Void Sect. If Taia and Rushing Void both fall, the Taixu Sect might also be unable to hold on..."

Wang Chen felt some worry, so he particularly reminded Mo Hua.

Mo Hua nodded, "I understand."

He thought for a moment, then instructed Wang Chen, "There might be significant changes in the Qianxue state boundary, with unforeseen calamities and blessings. If you hear anything from the Gui Water Sect, secretly tell me."

"Likewise, if you encounter any trouble, even life-and-death situations, you can come to me. I might be able to guide you to a way out..."

If it were someone else, Wang Chen might not care.

But the one who spoke was Mo Hua.

Wang Chen solemnly saluted, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"

...

After Wang Chen left, Mo Hua returned to the Disciple’s Residence, with thoughts surging.

Gui Water Sect...

Mentioning the Gui Water Sect, Mo Hua thought of the Water Prison Sect.

And when he thought of the Water Prison Sect, Mo Hua suddenly remembered he still had an important item in his possession.

The Water Prison Forbidden Box!

He closed the doors and windows, secured the Formation, and then took out the Water Prison Forbidden Box from the Storage Ring.

This forbidden box is a Forbidden Item of the Water Prison Sect’s Sect Leader, sealed with the Water Prison Sect’s Forbidden Technique. The method to open the box is only known by Xiao Zhenhai.

Mo Hua guessed that it requires cultivating some secret Cultivation Technique, then using refined blood to nurture the forbidden box. Once the Cultivation Technique’s fire control is up to standard and the refined blood is well-nurtured, the box can be opened.

Of course, this is just a guess.

He had no idea about the specific technique, so he could only "pick peaches," trying to snatch the box before the "Water Yama" opened it.

But he had underestimated it.

After getting the box, Mo Hua, for a time, could not open it.

So he threw it into the Storage Ring, thinking he would study it later when he had time.

However, with many things happening later, Mo Hua temporarily forgot about it, only recalling it now.

Afterward, Mo Hua specially took half a day, not practicing Formation, but staying in the Disciple’s Residence, focusing on studying the Water Prison Forbidden Box.

After half a day, he finally figured out the method to open the box.

The key was still the Pupil Skill.

But this Pupil Skill for opening the box was somewhat special.

It’s like having an embedded "password," requiring the activation of a specific soul in the Life Soul to visualize the Water Prison Map to open the forbidden box.

Normally, this wouldn’t be difficult.

But Mo Hua’s Life Soul harbored an Evil Embryo, so he could only proceed cautiously, trying a bit at a time.

Fortunately, it was just "unlocking" and not really using the Pupil Skill.

Mo Hua made a subtle attempt and found no significant issues.

About two incense sticks later, a flash of Golden Light flared in Mo Hua’s eyes, the red glow on the forbidden box faded slightly, the entire box dazzlingly radiant, emitting a crystalline blue light like crystal.

A water mark emerged, splitting the forbidden box in half.

This seamless treasure of the Water Prison Sect was finally opened.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

He released his Divine Sense, confirming there was no danger, and then carefully opened the forbidden box. Looking inside, he found a few Jade Slips lying there.

These Jade Slips were polished extremely thin, exquisitely crafted, like jade paper, attached to the small forbidden box.

On the Jade Slips were engraved the forbidden markings of the Water Prison Sect.

It likely signified that they were exclusive to the Water Prison Sect, not to be shared outside.

But since the Water Prison Sect no longer existed, external sharing was no longer a concern.

Mo Hua went through the Jade Slips one by one and then appeared somewhat shocked.

The contents on these Jade Slips were indeed the supreme legacy of the Water Prison Sect, each priceless.
