Time flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, ten years flew by.
In the past ten years, the expansion of good and evil has continued. However, because both sides have begun to send monks to intervene, the competition between them has gradually become fierce, and the pace of expansion has also stalled.
Just like the Yuanwu Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom, ten years have passed and they are still at war. Neither the righteous path nor the demonic path has achieved final victory.
The two countries are still slightly different. As for Yuanwu State, the demonic power is dominant, and complete occupation will be a matter of time. However, something is not going well in the Zijin Kingdom. According to the news sent back, the righteous path has made decisive progress there, and the possibility of the demonic path failing is not small.
There were even rumors that the Six Sects had already planned to abandon the Zijin Kingdom and instead focus on attacking the Yuanwu Kingdom, and the Righteous Party also had the same idea. After all, there are many nearby countries waiting to be invaded, and fighting against these two countries is really not worth the gain.
However, the resources of medium-sized countries are really coveted, and both good and evil are reluctant to part with them. Moreover, even if Yuanwu and Zijin are divided into two countries, the remaining countries will still compete with each other. It is no longer possible to expand comfortably as before.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Mo Juren. After opening the cave, he directly chose to retreat. Except for necessary things, I basically won't show up. As for the external matters, since Han Yunzhi was here, there was no need for him to worry about it.
In ten years, he finally raised his cultivation to the peak of foundation building. The liquid mana in his dantian had accumulated to the limit and could no longer increase.
At this time, he was only one step away from breaking through. However, the potential in his bloodline was completely exhausted, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy became extremely slow. If you try to attack the core without any hesitation, you won't be able to succeed without thinking about it.
It is inevitable to go to the Chaos Star Sea.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred. The spiritual energy in the cave suddenly began to tumble chaotically, forming countless spiritual energy vortices.
Seeing this, Mo Juren's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up and rushed to the stone gate at the edge of the cave. After a while, he had arrived at the cave above, and happened to see Han Yunzhi who had just returned from outside. She obviously discovered something, her pretty face was full of surprise.
"Brother Mo, you are out of seclusion. I am going to look for you. Outside..."
"Let's go and have a look together." Mo Juren had some vague guesses in his mind, and then he took Han Yunzhi to the stone gate in the south. By the time they passed through a wide passage, they were already outside the mountain.
"Brother Mo, look at the sky." Han Yunzhi had already seen it once before and quickly reminded him.
Mo Juren looked up and saw that in the originally clear sky, there were countless densely packed spiritual lights that were visible to the naked eye. They showed different colors under the sunlight, flickering bright and dark, brilliant and dazzling.
The spiritual light is endless, permeating the entire world. If you feel it carefully, you will find that it actually contains the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its quality is far higher than the underground spiritual energy of the earth.
"Condensing a baby!" At this time, Mo Juren had roughly determined that this was most likely a vision of heaven and earth that would only appear when the Nascent Soul was condensed. At this time, besides Gu Shuangpu, there will be no other person who has condensed the Nascent Soul.
"Giving a baby?" Han Yunzhi obviously heard the other party's words and asked with some surprise,
"Brother Mo is saying that someone is breaking through the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Most likely, yes." Mo Juren nodded and then asked,
"There should be changes within the sect during this period, haven't you noticed?"
"I happened to go back once a few months ago. The atmosphere in the sect was a bit serious, but I didn't notice anything else. After returning to the cave, I stopped paying attention."
"Giving a baby is a big deal, and it is a top priority for the sect. There must be a large number of high-level monks to protect the dharma." Mo Juren explained, but a strange color flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared fleetingly.
Gu Shuangpu's condensation of Nascent Soul was not good news for him. To a certain extent, he actually hoped that the other party would fail, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Not to mention other things, Gu Yushan has been wooing him uninterruptedly over the years. He comes to visit him once a year to talk with him about mysteries.
Mo Juren was not tired of it, but he couldn't show it. He could only receive him with speechless enthusiasm. Now that Gu Shuangpu has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he will inevitably become an elder of the sect. It would be really difficult to deal with an invitation to him in person.
The main sect covets the elite disciples of the branch sect very much. However, he is concerned about Patriarch Chiling's face and cannot go too far, so he chooses a gentle method and provides such generous benefits. I have to say that the effect was really good. The twenty-odd Foundation Establishment Stage monks who came with him had already planned to stay here completely.
Naturally, he was no exception. He even received far more attention than others because of the halo around his head. Otherwise, Gu Yushan wouldn't come to visit once a year, obviously for the purpose of maintaining a relationship. Once the time is right, we will definitely go further.
Now, the time is probably ripe.
If Gu Shuangpu Yijie, the Yuan Yingqi elder, personally extended the invitation to him, it wouldn't be true if he really agreed, and even less if he didn't agree. If you agree, it will be a betrayal to the Spirit Beast Mountain family. If you don't agree, you will offend the other party. Wouldn't it be bad if you find some reason to suddenly attack?
"Brother Mo, are you worried about something?" Han Yunzhi, whose entire mind was focused on him, noticed something strange almost instantly.
"How did you see that I was worried?" Mo Juren was a little surprised. He didn't seem to show any expression, right?
"I guessed it." Han Yunzhi blinked her clear eyes and said with a sweet smile.
"You..." Mo Juren couldn't help laughing, but he didn't continue to ask, and asked instead,
"Is there any news about your old man?"
During the retreat, just in case, the golden token used for communication was directly handed over to the other party's control. Naturally, the other party is responsible for the connection with the branch sect of Spirit Beast Mountain.
"Not yet." Han Yunzhi shook his head slightly and looked at the sky again, with a trace of worry in his crystal eyes. Of course, what worries me is my ancestor, and I don’t know whether he will succeed in the end.
Mo Juren couldn't help but fell into deep thought. If the ancestor of the Han family breaks through, he will definitely move his family to the main sect, so he doesn't need to worry about this. However, since there has been no movement yet, we have to make other plans.
At this time, the strange phenomenon in the sky became more and more obvious. With the mountain gate as the center, everything within a radius of a hundred miles was shrouded in endless five-color rays of light. In the rays of light, there were wind and rain, and bursts of thunder.
The cave where Mo Juren was located was relatively far away from the mountain gate. After a moment, the glow in the sky began to surge violently, and then it quickly gathered in the direction of the mountain gate, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I may need to stay away for a while. If anyone asks, just say that I left alone half a year ago to find an opportunity to break through the pill formation." The moment the vision disappeared, Mo Juren immediately made a decision. .
"Temporary avoidance?" Han Yunzhi was a little confused and didn't understand what the other party meant. However, she had absolute trust in Mo Juren. Since the other party said so, he naturally had his own reasons.
"How long does Brother Mo need to leave?"
"Not sure." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. He had already made up his mind to leave this time and would never return until he broke through the core formation. And when the elixir is formed successfully and comes back again, both the strength and status will change. Even if you encounter some difficulties, you can deal with them calmly.
"It may take ten years, twenty years, or even more. I can't give a definite answer. In short, during the period of my departure, you can only rely on yourself for everything. In addition, there are everything at home, and I need you to take care of me.”
"Brother Mo, don't worry. I'm not a child. I can do it on my own. Don't worry at home. I will contact my uncle from time to time and make sure that my sisters and Yuzhu will not be harmed at all." After hearing Mo Juren's instructions, Han Not only did Yunzhi not find it troublesome, she actually felt a sense of joy in her heart. Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he had accepted her.
Moreover, over the years, she has almost been the spokesperson of the other party. She is responsible for maintaining the more than twenty fellow sects who came together from the branch sect, forming a vague circle. In addition, he often visited the sect and made many new friends. He was completely adapted to the life of the main sect.
"Take care." Mo Juren nodded, no longer hesitating, and immediately called out Leisuo, which turned into a ray of light and flew through the air, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
On the ground, looking at the disappearing figure, a trace of worry flashed in Han Yunzhi's eyes. Although I don't know what the other person is avoiding, but judging from his serious expression, it is definitely not simple.
After a long time, I couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Mo, I will wait for you to come back, no matter how long it takes..."
…
A few months later, a ray of light quietly arrived at the northeastern border of Vietnam.
Above Leisuo, looking at the endless wasteland below, Mo Juren immediately stopped and flew down to the ground. There is only less than a hundred miles away from the wasteland spirit mine, so it is better to be cautious. If the disciples of the other six sects saw it, it would be troublesome to explain.
After checking the direction, a yellow light flashed around him and disappeared towards the ground.
The intermediate earth escape technique is extremely fast, and it doesn't take long to cover a distance of a hundred miles. As we continue to move forward, we have gradually approached the location of the spiritual mine.
At the same time, his consciousness was released immediately, and he could see clearly the situation in the spiritual mine in an instant. Disciples from the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Hehuan Sect were still guarding the place, but they were all low-level monks. There were only two people who had reached the foundation-building stage, and they belonged to two sects respectively.
Seeing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel relieved and gained a certain understanding. More than ten years have passed, and the Yue Kingdom has already completely digested it, so naturally there is no need to send more personnel.
This is good, as the possibility of the teleportation array being discovered is greatly reduced.
While thinking, he had already reached the underground of the Spirit Mine again. Because it is an abandoned mine area, the various mine tunnels that he destroyed earlier have not been cleaned up, and they are all piled up with rubble.
In this regard, he was also happy to see the success and continued to move forward. After a while, he finally came to the familiar cave.
After carefully examining the side, there was no change except for the thick dust. He no longer hesitated and immediately took out several sets of formation flags and formation plates and began to arrange them. Then came the repair and fixation of the teleportation array. The entire process took several days.
When everything was ready, Mo Juren checked it carefully and jumped directly into the teleportation array without hesitation. With a flash of blue light in his hand, he held the Great Teleportation Order high and began to mutter something.
A moment later, with the sound of 'teleport', the whole person disappeared in a flash of yellow light.
