The sect leaders of Taixu, Tai'a, and Chongxu gathered to discuss the looming Shura Sword Discussion, lamenting Taixu Gate's inferior strength against rival sects. Recognizing Mo Hua's exceptional talent in formations and his high prestige among disciples, the Taixu Sect Master proposed opening the three lineages' inheritances to him for preparation. After initial hesitation, Tai'a and Chongxu leaders agreed, envisioning Mo Hua as the potential Crown Prince of their combined legacies to secure the sect's future.

Only seven days remain before the Asura Sword Discussion.

An elder assembly on the Mount of Tao has established these seven days.

The purpose is to allow sect disciples sufficient time to get ready.

Since the Asura War arose unexpectedly, the allotted preparation period has been extended generously.

Within the Disciple's Residence.

Mo Hua continues to focus intensely, simulating combat situations, examining reasons and outcomes, reflecting on challenges...

All of a sudden, a knock resounds, prompting Mo Hua to open the door, where he finds the unexpected guest:

"Sect Leader? What has brought you here?"

The Taixu Sect Master regards Mo Hua with profound intensity, retrieves a token from his sleeve, and presents it to him.

"This represents the newly crafted Sect Token uniting the Three Mountains, the sole one available at present, for your initial use."

"Inside the token, the legacies of the Three Mountains are linked together."

"Merit points allow you to swap them freely."

"Furthermore, this particular Sect Token holds unique privileges, as the Sect Leaders from Tai'a and Chongxu have granted you elevated access."

"The level of legacies available for exchange won't fall short."

"Given the impending Asura War, should you require assistance, simply choose a legacy directly from it."

"From Cultivation Techniques and Taoist Skills to Formations and Artifact Refining Methods... all can be selected."

"This serves the sword discussion and the sect's interests, so no merit points will be deducted for legacy exchanges during the Sword Discussion Conference."

"The legacies you acquire may also be loaned temporarily to fellow sword discussion disciples, provided it's to aid the forthcoming event—nothing is off-limits."

"On top of that, I've notified the elders about these arrangements. Whatever you require, voice it openly. For this sword discussion affair, you're the one leading it..."

Mo Hua stands stunned for a moment before accepting the token solemnly with both hands.

The Taixu Sect Master utters nothing further, merely observing Mo Hua with affectionate warmth, giving his shoulder a gentle pat, and then departing.

This gesture conveys the sect leader's firm position: complete backing for Mo Hua.

Warmth fills Mo Hua's heart, though a burdensome responsibility now rests upon him.

He glances down at the token clutched in his grasp.

The token exudes an aura of antiquity and majesty, etched with deep intricacy and opulence—a fresh Taixu Gate Sect Token forged for the Three Mountains' union.

It serves as the prototype for a uniform token design.

Evidently, Taixu Gate plans to roll out this innovative sect token across the board in the coming times.

A single, unified sect token will bind all disciples from the Three Mountains under one banner.

From Mo Hua's understanding, this updated sect token incorporates sequential identifiers etched within during its creation for distinction.

Mo Hua runs his fingers lightly over the token's surface.

As the inaugural token produced post-unification of the Three Mountains, it houses their combined legacies—the Taixu Token.

Thus, the internal sequence marking on this token ought to be...

"One".

Mo Hua's eyes flicker momentarily before he retreats into the Disciple's Residence, securing doors and windows with a formation seal, then settling at the table to plunge his divine sense into this novel sect token.

The token retains its name: Taixu Token.

Yet Taixu spans the Three Mountains.

Beyond the longstanding Taixu Gate legacies, the inheritances from Tai'a and Chongxu branches now appear organized within the "Merit Scroll".

Taixu Gate, Tai'a Sect, and Chongxu Sect were once among the Eight Great Gates.

Consequently, the Taixu Token in his possession now holds the vast Taoist Repository from three of those Eight Great Gates, nearly amounting to "half the realm" of the Qianxue Eight Great Gates' legacies—an extravagance beyond compare.

Beyond standard legacies, it offers more.

As Mo Hua scans the "Merit Scroll" of Mount Chongxu, he uncovers a distinctive offering.

It seems like a singular concession from the Chongxu Sect Leader:

"Chongxu Sword True Skill".

This stands as Mount Chongxu's paramount sword qi technique and spell, the guardian legacy of the mountain, and the elite sword art that Xiaoxiao cultivates.

Tai'a Mountain Opening Sword Formation, Chongxu Sword True Skill, Tai Xu Divine Thought into sword.

This aligns perfectly with that renowned phrase:

"Tai'a Refining Spirit Sword, Rushing Void Proliferating Sword Qi, Tai Xu Sword Intent..."

A subtle tremor stirs in Mo Hua's heart.

At this moment, he genuinely embodies the guardian legacies of the three branches.

Such an outcome was unforeseen.

He had merely contemplated it before, never dreaming he'd witness the day of assembling the Taixu Three Branches' inheritances.

And moreover, securing them legitimately and without deceit.

All thanks to the vital stakes of the looming Asura War.

This trust and delegation stem from the Sect Leaders of the Three Mountains.

Undoubtedly, behind closed doors, the leaders have held thorough deliberations and compromises.

Even Elder Master Xun has surely been devising strategies in the shadows, solely for his sake...

Though they keep such sentiments unspoken.

Mo Hua lets out a soft sigh, pivoting to peer through the window toward Taixu Mountain.

Gazing upon this mountain gate where he's resided and cultivated for nine years, a sudden harmony wells up within him, as though his thoughts intertwine with the Taixu Mountain Range.

This is his sect of learning.

Within it dwell his fellow disciples, the elders, the sect leaders, and Elder Master Xun.

All these individuals hold him in high regard.

And he, in turn, is tied to Taixu Gate, their fates intertwined in glory and hardship.

Mo Hua's gaze softens with resolve, his determination solidifying steadily.

He will secure the top position.

Even if not for his own sake, but for the junior brothers who train alongside him relentlessly, for the kind-hearted elders, for the sect leaders who place their faith in him, and for the forebears working tirelessly in the background, who scheme meticulously and cherish him profoundly...

He will seize this top honor.

To forge a promising path for Taixu Gate.

To rise to the summit of the Qianxue Debate.

And to propel Taixu Gate to the foremost among countless sects in the Qian Learning State Boundary.

Nothing and no one shall hinder him.

The tenderness on Mo Hua's expression dissipates, his eyes gleaming with golden acuity.

Regardless of the Four Sects, Eight Gates, or Twelve Streams, should they dare to impede me, then I shall... sweep them aside entirely.

Following this, Mo Hua commences his formal preparations for the Asura Sword Discussion.

Leveraging the Three Mountains Taoist Repository's foundation, the sect leader's unwavering support, and Taixu Gate's empowered authority, Mo Hua gains the ability to accomplish far greater feats.
