"Ancestor, are you really planning to take action against that person named Mo?" While waiting, the young man suddenly came closer and asked in a low voice.
"What are you thinking?" The old man did not answer the other party immediately, but asked instead.
"In the previous battle at the Spirit Mine, Elder Yue led his men to ambush the opponent first, and then he was killed for whatever reason, but he couldn't blame the opponent. Now, your elder, a late-stage pill-forming monk, has come to hunt down the opponent in person. After all, the juniors in the basic period are a little inappropriate. If the future demons do the same, wouldn't it lead to chaos?" At this point, the young man immediately changed the subject and said,
"Please forgive my grandson for speaking out. Although you are already in the late stage of pill formation, you are not really invincible. If you come to Yuanwu Kingdom rashly for a promise and still attack a foundation-building monk, you will probably make him angry. Wan If a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage of a certain demonic path cannot stand it anymore and chooses to take action, wouldn't he be in danger?"
"Your father always praises you in front of me about how smart you are. Now it seems that he is not exaggerating." After listening to the young man's analysis, the old man instead of being angry, laughed.
"You're right. There are unspoken rules in the world of immortality. It's okay to bully others in private, but it's a bit taboo to do it in public."
"Then why are you still..." The young man was a little stunned. Since the ancestor knew this, why did he come and do such a serious thing?
"Are you willing to do this?" The old man sighed softly and continued,
"In the past, when I had not yet formed the elixir, I almost died due to some reasons. It was the head of the Yue family at that time who came to help me, and I was able to turn the corner. Not to mention the life-saving grace, if such a huge cause and effect is not resolved, I will not be able to survive in the future. I want to take it one step further.”
"Cause and effect, could it be the "Zhengyuan Jue"..." The young man seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of understanding suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"As long as you understand." A hint of helplessness flashed in the old man's eyes. The "Zhengyuan Jue" he practiced was a top-notch technique. Not only was it practiced extremely fast, but its power was also extraordinary. However, this technique has some characteristics, that is, the practitioner is greatly affected by cause and effect. Once it cannot be resolved, the state of mind may regress, and further improvement will naturally be out of the question.
The old man was thinking about more than this. His realm had reached the late stage of elixir formation, and he naturally had great expectations for Nascent Soul. Compared with forming pills, the Nascent Soul stage has more stringent requirements for the state of mind. Even when passing through the heavenly tribulation, in addition to the thunder tribulation, there is also the tribulation of inner demons. If the state of mind is not cultivated enough, it is almost impossible to break through the Yuanying.
Therefore, settling one's own cause and effect is the most important thing on the road, and he must do it even if there are risks.
Moreover, as long as he does not leave the sphere of influence of the right path, the risk is not that great. The demonic path has Nascent Soul stage monks, and the righteous path is naturally not lacking. Even if the opponent is angry, there will naturally be strong men of the same level to deal with it.
As for himself, as long as he kills Mo Juren, he will immediately flee back to the sect. Even if the Yuling sect is not angry anymore, he will not go to Fengdu Kingdom to take revenge for a dead man, right?
After a while, there was finally movement below. The earth-walking bat escaped from the ruins and did not stop. It turned into a ray of yellow light and shot through the air in a certain direction.
Seeing this, the old man did not hesitate. The flying boat under his feet also lit up with escape lights and followed closely. About half an hour passed, and they had already flown over a dense forest somewhere.
"Is this here?" Looking at the earth-walking bat suspended in mid-air, a hint of joy flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he gave an order behind him. Suddenly, a dozen monks' weapons flew out and disappeared into the dense forest below.
There was no waiting for too long, as the monks returned one after another, and some items of different sizes and types were brought back together. If you look closely, you will see that they are all fragments left behind after various magical instruments were broken.
Seeing this, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed. You can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time. Suddenly, he saw something. He raised his hand and took it into his palm. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was a broken formation flag. It can be seen from the faintly remaining runes on it that it must have been written by a certain formation master.
"So, is this the real reason why Yue Feng was killed?" The old man murmured, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart. Since it was an ambush in advance, it must be a surprise. It should be impossible for the other party to set up a formation here in advance. However, the facts before us proved that the formation did exist, and it was most likely the main reason for Yue Feng's death.
After thinking for a while, the old man couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He really couldn't figure out the reason. After all, who would have thought that someone would be so cautious as to set up a large formation in advance as a back-up just because they were upset.
Putting away his thoughts, he transmitted a few words to the earth-walking bat in mid-air. The latter flew directly to the debris and began to smell it. Until a moment later, the yellow light reappeared and broke through the air again in another direction.
A smile appeared on the old man's face, and Yu Feizhou followed closely again.
A few days later, after flying to a certain mid-air area, the old man stopped again and summoned the earth-walking bat back.
"Hiding? Or taking a break?" Looking forward, the old man couldn't help but frown slightly.
This was a little different from what he had thought before. The other party did not continue to perform tasks behind the righteous path, but chose to enter the sphere of influence of the demonic path.
It was impossible to chase him in. He knew his own worth. Monks in the Dan Formation Stage are naturally not afraid, but when they encounter Yuanying Stage Monks, they can only run as far as they can.
You can come and go at will within the sphere of influence of the righteous path, but once you enter an area controlled by the demonic path, your safety cannot be guaranteed.
The only thing he wants to know now is whether the other party is taking a temporary rest and recovering, or is he hiding because he killed a monk in the alchemy stage and is worried about the revenge of the righteous way?
The former is okay, but if it is the latter, it will be troublesome. I can't just stay here and wait, can I?
"Ancestor, why don't your grandson take a few people to investigate in person, and it's not too late to find out the other party's situation before making a decision?" The young man obviously noticed the old man's entanglement, and took the initiative to suggest.
"No, it's too dangerous." The young man's words warmed the old man's heart, but he dismissed the other person's idea without hesitation. Are you kidding me? Those crazy women from the Jiqing Sect are known as tigresses and are very dangerous. Letting their grandson in is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
He glanced downwards and saw a low barren mountain, and then said: "Go down below and wait for a while to see what the other party is doing."
"What if they never come out?" The young man thought about his ancestor's skills. Since he wanted to resolve the cause and effect, there was no possibility of giving up.
"That's okay." Knowing what his grandson was worried about, the old man couldn't help but smile.
"No one can be sure how long the war between good and evil will last. Yuanwu Kingdom, Zijin Kingdom, and countless other countries, as long as the war continues, the other side will eventually continue to perform tasks. As for me, The most important thing is patience. If it doesn’t work this time, there will always be a chance to take action next time.”
…
Naturally, Mo Juren didn't know that a powerful enemy had arrived, but on the premise that he already had a way out, he didn't care even if he knew. As for the future, it will naturally be discussed in the future. Maybe by then I will have successfully formed the elixir, and I will have the ability to protect myself against the monks in the later stages of the elixir.
Time passed slowly and unconsciously, and January passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, he was particularly leisurely. Every day he was either practicing or going shopping with Han Yunzhi and Lian Feihua. Because there were enough spiritual stones, I bought a lot of things in the market, including several top-grade defensive weapons.
The Qin family's matter has also been resolved. The Jiqing Sect gave him face and allocated a mountain peak somewhere outside the Xuanyue Mountains for the other party to live.
You must know that the Xuanyue Mountains are the gate of Jiqing Sect and have the best quality spiritual veins nearby. Even in the outer areas, the quality of the spiritual veins is not low.
Such generosity made Mo Juren grateful, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little doubt. The Jiqing Sect was too kind to him, so those who didn't know it thought they were treating their own disciples?
"Is there any purpose?" Mo Juren murmured. Having lived in two lifetimes, he has always believed in one truth: there is no free lunch in the world, and a seemingly generous gift may have a price secretly marked on it, but he just doesn't know it.
"What's the purpose?" In the yard, Lian Feihua was holding Han Yunzhi's arm while admiring the fish in the water. Suddenly she heard his whisper and immediately turned around and asked.
"Your ears are quite pointy." Mo Juren came back to his senses and joked a little funny. He looked up at the sky and said again,
"It's almost time, it's time for us to set off."
With that said, he directly called Qingzhou, and the three of them ducked into it. Mo Juren did not hesitate, and activated the spiritual power under his feet. A blue light instantly rose into the sky and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
…
When he came to Jiqing Sect to pay homage to the sect just a few months ago, the master of Qin personally invited him to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony of the sect leader, Master Lingqing.
Naturally, he would not refuse the other party's kind invitation. After all, he would have to rely on the other party's protection to travel to Tianluo Kingdom in two months. Meeting him now was a way to get to know him in advance and leave an impression.
What's more, this was the apprentice of the real person Ling Qing, and he was also curious about what kind of woman could be valued by the Nascent Soul monks and take her into his door personally.
Qing Zhou flew away at high speed and soon appeared in front of the mountain gate of Jiqing Sect again. Having been here once, he was naturally familiar with it. He took out the silver talisman, activated it, whispered for a while, and then threw it out.
The magic talisman turned directly into a silver brilliance and instantly disappeared into the light curtain below.
Without waiting for too long, in just a moment, the light curtain suddenly opened slowly, revealing an extremely wide passage.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, we meet again." The person flying towards him was none other than the master of Qin from Jiqing Sect. Today, the other party is wearing a luxurious brocade dress, which is a bit more dignified in her charm.
"Mo brought two friends to watch the ceremony together. I hope not to disturb your sect." Mo Juren glanced at the other party and then replied.
"The visitor is a guest, why bother?" Head Qin smiled charmingly, his watery eyes swept over the two women, and then said,
"If my guess is correct, the two should be Junior Sister Lian from the Demon Flame Sect and Junior Sister Han from the Han Family."
"I've met Senior Sister Qin." The two women responded without hesitation. However, as soon as they finished speaking, they glanced at each other, as if they were faintly communicating something.
The master of Qin was so shrewd that he noticed the two men's little moves in an instant. However, he didn't say anything and continued: "This is not the place to talk. You three can come with me."
When I came to Jiqing Sect again, the scene I saw was different from last time. The floating islands, the main hall, and the mid-air were full of figures of monks flying around, looking extremely busy.
"Today is a special day. Many disciples have been assigned tasks." Head Qin explained, and then said,
"Because it is wartime, everything in this ceremony was kept simple. We only invited some familiar Taoist friends from Yuanwu Kingdom to participate. The three of them are the only people from the Six Sects invited this time."
"my pleasure."
Lingyun Palace is a huge palace built on a huge floating island. This is also the place where the apprenticeship ceremony was held.
On the square in front of the main hall, Mo Juren collected the green boat, and what he saw was an endless world of flowers. White figures shuttled back and forth, like elves in the flowers.
"So beautiful!" The two women were immediately attracted, staring intently at the grand scene in front of them.
"It took nearly half a month to prepare, but luckily it didn't stain the eyes of the guests." Leader Qin smiled modestly, and led the three of them to continue forward, passing through the endless sea of flowers and entering the main hall.
It was not long before the ceremony started, and the hall was already full of people.
After taking a quick look after entering, Mo Juren couldn't help but be a little surprised. Everything at the door of Qinzhang was so simple and modest. There were no less than ten monks in the alchemy stage in the front area of the hall alone. Judging from his clothes, it is obvious that he is not from the Jiqing Sect, but presumably from the other two sects.
Although the three of them were only Foundation Establishment Stage monks, because they came from the Six Sects, they received considerable attention, and were also placed next to a group of Pill Formation Stage monks.
Such a scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and they all turned their heads to look, wanting to see who the distinguished guest was.
The faces of the three Mo Juren were unfamiliar, so it was naturally impossible for them to be recognized. However, some monks from the Extreme Emotion Sect obviously knew something about the situation, and they immediately whispered a few words.
In less than a moment, almost all the monks in the foundation-building stage who had formed pills showed a look of astonishment, and looked at the three people again with unconcealed surprises in their eyes.
Facing so many probing glances, Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, and the old god sat down. The two women beside him, on the other hand, were obviously very uncomfortable and a little fidgety.
"The ceremony is about to begin. I have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Please."
Head Qin is the person in charge of all the processes behind the ceremony. It is impossible to stay here longer. After settling the three people, he turned around and left.
As the other party gradually walked away, a deep voice suddenly came from his ears.
"My little friend is Mo Juren of the Yuling Sect. He is indeed extraordinary in bearing."
