The Three Mountains Sect Leader was amazed, and nurous elders and disciples were overjoyed.
And all of this in Taixu Gate today is thanks to the united efforts of the sect disciples.
The one who contributed the most, of course, was Mo Hua, known as the "Junior Brother."
"What Junior Brother said before turned out to be true!"
"He actually led us and managed to elevate the sect from the last of the Eight Great Gates to above the Four Great Sects!"
"When we entered the sect for cultivation, we were disciples of the Eight Great Gates, and now, in the blink of an eye, we are already disciples of the First Major School of Qianxue?!"
All the disciples felt as if they were in a dream, unable to believe it.
Mo Hua's originally "exalted" status in the sect instantly rose even higher, climbing quite a bit.
Among Taixu Gate disciples, Mo Hua was trusted and greatly admired.
At any banquet or al, there would be a group of disciples queued up to toast Mo Hua.
For them, the words "Senior Brother" were just a form of address.
But "Junior Brother," these three words, were their faith.
Even at Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu, Mo Hua began to have "standing."
The patriarchs of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu invited Mo Hua for tea.
During the tea session, the patriarchs sat in the main seat, Mo Hua sat in the secondary seat.
The sect leaders of Taia and Chongxu sat in the junior seats, preparing and serving tea for the patriarchs, occasionally pouring tea for Mo Hua.
At the gathering, the patriarchs of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu expressed concern and sympathy to Mo Hua, asking him if he would like to join the Inner Gate of Taia Mountain or Mount Chongxu. If he chose to join, a separate clan record would be opened for Mo Hua, and from then on, there would be a lineage that bears the surna "Mo" at Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu.
Mo Hua was greatly moved but politely declined.
The patriarchs of Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu were disappointed but increasingly felt that Mo Hua was capable of remaining true to himself and unmoved by profit, and considered him a promising talent.
Afterward, the two patriarchs had a long conversation with Mo Hua.
Although the tea session did not conclude with a "transaction," the guests and hosts were very satisfied.
...
While Taixu Gate achieved first place in the sword discussion, Mo Hua also got what he wished for.
Elder Master Xun handed a Formation Diagram to Mo Hua.
This Formation Diagram was a reward gifted by Heaven Shu Pavilion to the first place in the Qianxue Sword Discussion, a rare formation nad "Wood Revitalization Formation."
This formation had fallen out of use due to its narrow application, complex classification, and inconvenience in construction, and had gradually been replaced by alchemy in dical formations.
Yet, it was not rely a formation; Mo Hua flipped through it, discovering that the "Wood Revitalization Formation" was, in fact, a complete set of formations.
It contained a comprehensive inheritance of wood-related dical formations, ranging from First Grade to Fourth-grade.
This was indeed a precious inheritance.
But…
Mo Hua frowned, "Can this Wood Revitalization Formation save my master?"
Why?
Mo Hua knew better than anyone that his master's injuries involved Heavenly chanism Causality, life and death Qi, and were not simply flesh wounds.
What role could this Wood Revitalization Formation play?
Mo Hua studied the Wood Revitalization Formation again, thinking there might be so mystery concealed within, but he couldn't comprehend it and decided to keep it for further study later.
Mo Hua stored the complete set of Wood Revitalization Formation into the Storage Ring.
...
In the following days, Taixu Gate was bustling with activity.
With the rankings established, and the sect now vastly changed, nurous families, sects, other Tao Cultivation forces, and various Tao Cultivation masters sent congratulatory gifts to Taixu Gate.
The gate of Taixu Gate was bustling with carriages, crowds, and throngs of people.
Taixu Gate was filled with joy and happiness.
This lively atmosphere lasted for nearly a month.
During this period, the sect conducted its final year-end evaluation.
Mo Hua's grades, as usual, beca one Grade A and six Grade C.
No matter how high his status, bad grades were bad grades, and no elder would "falsely inflate" his scores.
However, Mo Hua, looking at the familiar "one Grade A and six Grade C," felt rather at ease, and then let out a deep sigh.
He knew that it was truly the end.
Nine years of cultivation in Taixu Gate had finally co to a close.
Sect disciples began to depart from the sect successively.
His junior brothers also began to bid farewell to him, each embarking on their own paths.
First was Linghu Xiao.
Though he was a disciple of Mount Chongxu, he planned to travel outward for training, visit Sword Mountain, practice swordsmanship, seek the Sword Dao, and then choose an opportunity for Core Formation.
Linghu Xiao was not adept with words, various emotions hidden in his eyes, he simply cupped his hands and said:
"Junior Brother, we will et again in the mountains and waters."
Mo Hua also cupped his hands, "We will et again in the mountains and waters, Xiaoxiao. Take care. You must beco an outstanding Sword Cultivator."
Rarely smiling Linghu Xiao showed a hint of a smile, then took a deep breath, nodded to Mo Hua, and with one sword, followed an elder of Mount Chongxu to travel the Nine States, seeking the Sword Dao.
Then there was Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Yang Qianjun, Hao Xuan, Xie Ling... and others.
So were returning to their families, so were traveling, so were turning to elders, so were inheriting family businesses, and so only had themselves to fight for a path...
Everyone had their own life and destiny.
Before departing, each would co to see Mo Hua, offer Mo Hua a toast, feeling reluctant but generously said:
"Junior Brother, the path of Dao is endless, until we et again…"
Afterward, they would add:
"If you ever return to Qian State, or go to Kun State/Kan State/Li State/Gen State/Zhen State/Xun State/Dui State... you must visit the 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."
"... In case of trouble, report my na, no one will dare to treat you with disrespect, Junior Brother."
