Chapter 163: Jun Wuji, I Know Your Big Secret

"It is merely that sect-protecting Immortal Artifact."

Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn.

Up until now, Lin Yuan had seen the Taihao Immortal Artifact twice.

The first time was during the Void Tempering Grand Ceremony when Lin Yuan and his parents went to Moral Immortal Mountain to congratulate Mu Qingliu.

During that time, Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit incinerated the forces of the Black Veil Islands, causing the Moral Immortal Sect's layout to fail. Mu Qingliu was furious and directly activated the Taihao Immortal Artifact, descending an Incarnation onto the East China Sea Islands.

The second time was not long ago, when Lin Yuan used his own Yin Spirit to battle the mirror-light Incarnation for a while, feeling the true power of the Taihao Immortal Mirror.

Through these two contacts.

Lin Yuan concluded that the level of the Taihao Immortal Mirror should surpass the Refining Void Stage.

Meaning it was a Dao Integration Stage Magic Treasure above the Refining Void Stage.

The Dao Integration Stage had already surpassed the limits of this world.

Only the legendary "Spirit Realm" had mighty figures of this height.

"Spirit Realm."

Lin Yuan's expression fell into brief contemplation.

Rumor had it that the Moral Immortal Sect controlled the "Ascension Platform" from this world to the Spirit Realm.

The successive Sect Masters of the Immortal Sect would disappear after ruling the Moral Immortal Sect for one to two ten-thousand years, going to the legendary Spirit Realm precisely through the "Ascension Platform".

Of course, this saying had no basis, and presumably only the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Leader knew the truth.

Perhaps the Refining Void Ghost King of the Nether Ghost Palace, the Blood Demon Lord of the Blood Demon Sea, and the Demon Saint of the Demon Saint Nest also knew a bit.

"It doesn't matter."

"As long as I am given another two hundred years to Cultivate to the Peak of the sixth tier or even break through to the seventh tier, no secret will be a secret in front of me."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Right now, he didn't need to inquire about the secrets of the "Spirit Realm" or "Ascension".

It didn't make much sense.

It was better to spend all his time on cultivation.

Become invincible in the world first and talk later.

Moral Immortal Sect.

Sect Master Mu Qingliu sat high above.

Mu Mengting knelt below, his face pale and his expression filled with fear.

He never expected that after using the Refining Void Stage Talisman treasured by the Mu Family, he still failed to kill Jun Dongjin.

Not only did he fail to kill him, but he was also detected by the Sect Master immediately.

Now, not to mention consuming an incomparably precious Refining Void Stage Talisman, Jun Dongjin wasn't even dead.

This meant that he, Mu Mengting, was not the only candidate to inherit the Immortal Sect.

Mu Qingliu still had other choices, such as reusing Jun Dongjin.

If so, it meant that he, Mu Mengting, would be completely fated never to become the Sect Master.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Mu Mengting to lack even this bit of composure, and to be completely devoid of tolerance for others.

"Sect Master, I shouldn't have made a move against my fellow Disciples, and I shouldn't have made a move against Jun Dongjin."

Mu Mengting immediately admitted his mistake.

Since Mu Qingliu had called him over alone and personally mentioned this matter, Mu Mengting realized that his little tricks could not possibly be hidden.

Since that was the case.

It was better to frankly admit his mistake.

Perhaps there was still a turning point.

After all, his relationship with Mu Qingliu was far from being as simple as the relationship between a Sect Master and a Disciple.

"Wrong."

"You were wrong in that you made your move much too early."

"And you were too impatient."

Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting and said indifferently.

Back when he inherited the position of Immortal Sect Sect Master, he also used some methods. Mu Mengting's behavior of choking off competitors in advance was nothing rare; it was all leftovers of what Mu Qingliu used to play with.

It was just that.

This kind of behavior had to have a bottom line.

Jun Dongjin had been transferred away from Moral Immortal Mountain and was already far from the center of power. Moreover, his ability was quite good, and he distinguished public from private; keeping him alive was far more useful than having him dead.

"Ah?"

Mu Mengting's expression was dazed.

He originally thought the Sect Master would reprimand his behavior, but he didn't expect that the Sect Master felt he had acted too impatiently.

"When you reach the Refining Void Stage, you will realize how ridiculous those past struggles were. Whether it is Jun Dongjin or anyone else, they are all pawns in your own hands. Killing them is equivalent to weakening your own power."

Mu Qingliu said in a calm tone.

This was also his greatest realization after stepping into the Refining Void Stage.

Standing at the height of an Ancient Saint, how ridiculous were some of his past behaviors? Mastering absolute power, everything else was just a vassal.

"I—"

Mu Mengting opened his eyes wide.

When Mu Qingliu mentioned "when he reached the Refining Void Stage", Mu Mengting was trembling all over.

What did the Sect Master mean?

What did it mean by waiting for him to step into the Refining Void Stage?

"Can't you see from the order transferring Dongjin to Mangya Mountain that I have already chosen you as the next-generation Sect Master?"

Mu Qingliu said blandly.

"Sect Master."

Mu Mengting's mind was extremely excited.

Indeed.

When Jun Dongjin received the transfer order back then.

He had indeed thought that Jun Dongjin had been excluded from the Sect Master candidate list.

But Mu Mengting only dared to think like that; he had no way of confirming whether his thoughts were true or false.

What if Jun Dongjin was just transferred out for a period of time and came back soon after?

Therefore.

To be safe, Mu Mengting decided to take a risky move.

High on the seat, Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting, whose excitement was beyond words, and sighed again in his heart.

Mu Mengting was indeed inferior to Jun Dongjin.

But who told Mu Mengting to be his offspring?

Actually.

With the hundreds of thousands of years of foundation of the Moral Immortal Sect.

Whoever served as Sect Master was about the same.

Even if Jun Dongjin became Sect Master, it was impossible for him to pacify the Blood Demon Sea, the Nether Palace, and the Demon Saint Nest.

Even if Mu Mengting was a bit worse, if he became Sect Master, he couldn't cause the Moral Immortal Sect's power to be greatly reduced either.

The hard power of the Moral Immortal Sect was right there.

Even a pig, upon becoming Sect Master, as long as it had the Refining Void Stage cultivation and held the Taihao Immortal Mirror, could still slaughter in all directions.

In this world, the Moral Immortal Sect was the general trend.

"Do you still want to kill Dongjin now?"

Mu Qingliu glanced at Mu Mengting and asked.

"I don't want to."

"Sect Master, I can swear an oath that I will not make a move against Jun Dongjin."

Mu Mengting said without hesitation.

As long as he could become a Refining Void Ancient Saint and become the Immortal Sect Sect Master.

What did mere Jun Dongjin count for?

At this moment, Mu Mengting faintly understood the "mindset" Mu Qingliu had mentioned.

Even Jun Dongjin, whom he had once regarded as a confidant-trouble, would be used by him in the future to guard the grand enterprise of the Immortal Sect for him.

Under this circumstance, Mu Mengting wished more talents like Jun Dongjin would appear; why would he still kill anyone?

"Wuji is Dongjin's youngest son, has no Spiritual Root, and rarely leaves the Yunwu Blessed Land. He poses no threat to you either."

Mu Qingliu said again.

"Sect Master."

"You underestimate me too much."

"How could I, Mu Mengting, make a move against Wuji?"

Mu Mengting immediately said with a solemn expression.

This was indeed the truth.

Over these years.

Mu Mengting was wary of Jun Dongjin, and even wary of Mu Lianer, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhilan.

He was even wary of the younger generation.

Yet he had never been wary of Jun Wuji.

What was there to be wary of in a good-for-nothing without even a Spiritual Root?

Therefore, Mu Mengting had never made any moves against the Yunwu Blessed Land.

Because there was simply no need.

"That's good."

"Wuji is also pitiful."

Mu Qingliu nodded.

No matter what, he was also Jun Wuji's maternal grandfather.

He knew that Jun Wuji had no Spiritual Root since childhood. Although no one dared to bully him, his heart was extremely sensitive. Otherwise, how could a normal person hide in the Yunwu Blessed Land and not come out once in decades?

"As long as Wuji is still there, the Yunwu Blessed Land is his, and no one can touch it."

Mu Mengting heard Mu Qingliu's meaning and immediately promised.

"Since that is the case."

Mu Qingliu nodded slightly, "Follow me, I will take you to see the greatest secret of my Moral Immortal Sect."

In the buffer zone between the wilderness and the Central Earth, that mysterious Refining Void Body Cultivator.

And not long ago, that mysterious Ancient Saint whose whole body exuded Taiyin Power and whose strength was at the Peak of Void Tempering—

These two Refining Void Ancient Saints who seemed to have appeared out of thin air increased Mu Qingliu's inner pressure by another fraction.

The pressure here.

Did not refer to the crisis of the destruction of the Moral Immortal Sect or anything like that.

Rather, he worried that these Refining Void Ancient Saints would join forces with those three old fellows to stir up a war in the Central Earth Divine Continent once again.

Indeed, no matter what level of war it was, it would not affect the rule of the Moral Immortal Sect. Relying on Moral Immortal Mountain and the Taihao Immortal Mirror, the Immortal Sect was as solid as gold.

But it was disgusting.

It was as if there were originally three flies buzzing around, and now a few more had appeared.

And Ancient Saint-level combat easily shattered the Central Earth Divine Continent, and the Central Earth Divine Continent had long been viewed by the Moral Immortal Sect as its private property.

Therefore—

The Moral Immortal Sect must have a second Refining Void Ancient Saint as soon as possible.

Two Refining Void Ancient Saints: one guarded Moral Immortal Mountain.

The other held the Taihao Immortal Mirror, walked out of the Immortal Mountain, and swept away all possible enemies.

Mangya Mountain.

Jun Dongjin, Mu Lianer, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhilan gathered inside an Immortal Cave.

"In a short time, we probably won't be able to go back."

Jun Dongjin sighed.

Now he could be considered to realize that the Sect Master transferring him away from Moral Immortal Mountain was paving the way for Mu Mengting.

In other words, the candidate for the future Ancient Saint Sect Master of the Moral Immortal Sect had already been confirmed.

That was Mu Mengting.

The future of him, Jun Dongjin, needed to be decided by Mu Mengting.

"Father."

Mu Lianer's expression was downcast.

Mu Qingliu ultimately chose a member of the Mu Family to be the Sect Master.

This decision could be considered within expectations; after all, humans have emotions, and even Refining Void Ancient Saints could not be absolutely impartial.

Forsaking Jun Dongjin and choosing Mu Mengting.

Was not a strange matter.

"Fortunately, Wuji didn't follow us over to suffer."

Jun Zhilan said in a low voice.

The Yunwu Blessed Land had the effect of prolonging Lifespan.

Jun Wuji had no Spiritual Root, and the Body Cultivator lineage had no increase in Lifespan.

Therefore, staying in the Yunwu Blessed Land, Jun Wuji could live for several hundred years at least.

If he took some longevity-prolonging pills or the like, he might be able to live for over a thousand years.

But if he left the Yunwu Blessed Land and followed them to this Mangya Mountain.

Then his Lifespan would definitely plummet, dropping to the level of a normal person.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

Over these hundred years, the situation in the Central Earth Divine Continent gradually became turbulent.

The Blood Demon Sea, the Demon Saint Nest, and the Nether Palace secretly joined forces, wanting to start a war in the Central Earth Divine Continent once again.

The only thing that disappointed the Blood Demon Sea, the Demon Saint Nest, and the Nether Palace was those two mysterious Ancient Saints who had appeared before.

One Body Refinement Ancient Saint.

One Ancient Saint of the Taiyin path.

Never showed their traces again.

If they could unite these two Ancient Saints.

Their confidence in stirring up a war in the Central Earth Divine Continent would also be much greater.

Yunwu Blessed Land.

Cultivation secret room.

"Finally."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, a smile appearing on his face.

Over the hundred years, apart from cultivating and comprehending the Dao as usual, Lin Yuan…

Was trying to comprehend the principle and essence of that Physical Body Divine Ability—Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.

This Physical Body Divine Ability was extremely complex and involved many aspects. Even with Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension,

It still took him a hundred years to barely comprehend it.

"In this way, even if I return to the Main World, I will be able to use this Divine Ability."

Lin Yuan's mind was delighted.

Rebirth from a Drop of Blood had miraculous effects in terms of saving one's life; naturally, the more such methods, the better.

"It's just a pity that this Divine Ability cannot be popularized. It will vary according to each person's Physique, and the way it operates is also different."

"The 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood' technique that I spent a hundred years comprehending using the Main World Physical Body as a template can only be used on the Main World Physical Body."

Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat regretful.

He originally planned to sell this Divine Ability to the Goddess of Wisdom, but now it seemed that probably wouldn't work.

However, although Lin Yuan was somewhat disappointed, he quickly adjusted himself.

The higher and more powerful the Divine Ability or talent, the higher its restrictions.

In the Cosmic Starry Sky of the Main World, certain special secret art legacies possessed "uniqueness".

That is to say, in the same era, only one life could master this kind of secret art Legacy.

This was the iron rule of the Main World. Even if you comprehended this secret technique Legacy, you wouldn't be able to use it.

Blood Demon Sea.

The Blood Demon Lord sat upright on a small island deep within.

"Over a hundred thousand years, I can finally start a war in the Central Earth Divine Continent once again."

The Blood Demon Lord's expression was excited.

One hundred and twenty thousand years ago, he, together with the Demon Saint Nest and the Nether Palace, had launched a war in the Central Earth Divine Continent.

It's just that they suffered a crushing defeat back then and only recovered in the last few thousand years.

"The Moral Immortal Sect occupies the 'Ascension Platform', forcing people like us to only stay in this realm."

The Blood Demon Lord muttered to himself.

"Master."

At this moment, a blood-colored figure condensed from the Blood Demon Sea and bowed towards the Blood Demon Lord.

"The Central Earth Divine Continent is covered with formations laid down by the Moral Immortal Sect. If we want to enter the Central Earth Divine Continent with as little loss as possible, we must figure out the specific locations and other details of these formations."

The blood-colored figure said in a low voice.

"What are your plans?"

The Blood Demon Lord asked directly.

"There are not many people in the Moral Immortal Sect who know about these formations, and one of them is Jun Dongjin."

The blood-colored figure said with a pointed meaning.

Over the past hundred years, it was no secret that Jun Dongjin had been transferred to Mangya Mountain.

The next Sect Master of the Moral Immortal Sect had almost certainly been determined to be Mu Mengting.

Jun Dongjin had already become an abandoned son of the Moral Immortal Sect.

"Your subordinate thinks that Jun Dongjin can be won over. As long as he can be used by us, invading the Central Earth Divine Continent will be much easier."

The blood-colored figure continued.

"Not bad."

The Blood Demon Lord nodded slightly.

He could deduce that Jun Dongjin should be full of resentment towards the Moral Immortal Sect.

Winning him over now was just the right time.

"But one point that needs attention."

"Jun Dongjin cannot be won over directly."

"Near Mangya Mountain, there must be backup measures from the Moral Immortal Sect."

The Blood Demon Lord spoke.

"Then Master means—"

The blood-colored figure asked in a low voice.

"Go and win over Jun Dongjin's youngest son, Jun Wuji."

"Then through Jun Wuji, win over Jun Dongjin. Only in this way can everything be foolproof without any abnormalities being detected by the Moral Immortal Sect."

Said the Blood Demon Lord.

"Master is wise."

Hearing this, the blood-colored figure pondered for a moment and was immediately full of admiration.

Directly winning over Jun Dongjin indeed carried too high of a risk.

As a former high-ranking member of the Moral Immortal Sect, even if he wasn't heavily used now, Jun Dongjin must have various means protecting him by his side.

For them to win over Jun Dongjin was undoubtedly telling the Moral Immortal Sect what they were going to do.

On the contrary, Jun Dongjin's youngest son had a much lower presence.

Coupled with the fact that the Yunwu Blessed Land was right next to the Moral Immortal Sect, the principle of being blind to what's right under one's nose was prominent. I'm afraid the Moral Immortal Sect itself wouldn't even think that they would have ideas about Jun Wuji.

"Remember."

"When treating Jun Wuji, you must never use coercive means; you must threaten him or offer him heavy profits."

The Blood Demon Lord exhorted.

At the same time, he opened his palm, and a blood-red crystal appeared.

"Carrying this item, you can temporarily evade the supervision of the Taihao Immortal Mirror."

Said the Blood Demon Lord.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, having clashed with the Moral Immortal Sect many times.

The Blood Demon Lord naturally accumulated some methods to guard against the Moral Immortal Sect.

Especially that Taihao Immortal Mirror.

It's just that.

The means to evade the supervision of the Taihao Immortal Mirror required the Blood Demon Lord to pay an extremely heavy price.

And there were many restrictions.

It could not be popularized on a large scale.

Yunwu Blessed Land.

Rooftop pavilion.

Lin Yuan lay on a reclining chair, leisurely basking in the sun.

"You guys can step down."

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes."

Chunhua and Qiuyue bowed and left.

Unknown how much time had passed.

In the shadow of the pavilion, a blood-colored figure quietly appeared.

"Jun Wuji."

The blood-colored figure walked up to Lin Yuan, its voice hoarse and deep.

"I know your big secret."

The blood-colored figure stared at Jun Wuji.

"A big secret?"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

He had long sensed the existence of the blood-colored figure.

The other party being able to sneak into the Central Earth Divine Continent and sneak into the Yunwu Blessed Land stemmed from a special aura exuding from their body.

Originally, Lin Yuan also wanted to see if the blood-colored figure sneaking in specially had something going on.

Hearing the other party openly state that they knew his big secret, he couldn't help being somewhat surprised.

"A big secret—"

"Which big secret are you referring to?"

Lin Yuan asked with a cautious expression.

"Which big secret?"

The blood-colored figure was somewhat dazed.
