Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 130. Jixia Academy (V) Fire Sacrifice Site (X)

To find one of the lost Nine Cauldrons, you need the help of a [son].

Neither of these are easy conditions.

[Job Change Mission ③: Seeking Talents]

【The various schools of thought, the thoughts produced by this land are like an everlasting flame. 】

[The monarch, the overlord, and the emperor are all looking for wise men with unique ideas. ]

[Some people want to strengthen the country, some want to enrich the people, and some want to suppress other theories...]

【But no matter which doctrine it is, they all have the same goal. 】

[Use whatever means necessary to end this apocalypse. 】

[Task requirements: Join any one or more doctrine factions. ]

The change in the mission also confirmed that what Pu Tao said was correct, which made Mo Hao start to think about which school of thought to join.

Confucianism? Mohism? Military science? Taoism? Legalism?

The Hundred Schools of Thought is definitely not a vague term, but there are really hundreds and thousands of theories.

According to the "Book of Han·Yiwenzhi", there are a total of 189 authors and 4324 works.

Later books such as "Book of Sui·Bibliography" and "General Catalogue of the Siku Quanshu" recorded that there were actually thousands of "Hundred Schools of Thought".

"Don't think about it." Seeing Mo Hao lost in thought, Pu Tao interrupted his thoughts, "Before going to school, you still have to do something."

The second jar of thousand-year-old wine was not drunk like the previous ones. I don’t know where Pu Tao found a bronze jar from, and he took a sip from it from time to time.

It's more like tasting the flavor than drinking it.

He pointed to the open space in front of the Jixia Academy, where Su Zhilan had already swept out a relatively clean area.

"Put the tripod you got from Duke Kang of Qi on the open ground, and then put the two balls of royal fire into the tripod."

Mo Hao did as he was told. The cauldron he put down instantly grew to the size of a man's height. Then two balls of royal fire floated on the surface of the cauldron. Whenever they approached each other, a repulsive force would push them apart.

Then a golden light emanated from the cauldron, sweeping across the abandoned ruins like ripples. Then the Jixia Academy seemed to have turned back in time, the broken stones were reassembled into stone slabs, the weeds degenerated into seeds and the open space where they grew was covered with stone slabs.

Even the collapsed and burned buildings were rebuilt at this time, or time was restored to the moment when it still existed.

In just a moment, the Jixia Academy, which had become a ruin, has returned to its former appearance.

Although the buildings are still visibly old and damaged, they are undoubtedly much better than the previous ruins.

At the same time, the sun began to appear in the sky, and in Mo Hao's perception, this area seemed to be shrouded by something.

"The Qi Kingdom's King Fire can restore the Jixia Academy to its past appearance, but of course it is only an appearance. The students from the hundreds of schools can forget about it. But you can invite people from outside to come to the Jixia Academy. It depends on whether you can invite them."

Putao continued to explain the consequences of this change. He seemed to be very happy with the jar of thousand-year-old wine, and he even stopped telling the riddle.

For Mo Hao, Pu Tao's behavior of speaking directly and not telling in riddles is undoubtedly the most likable.

At least he doesn't need to waste his brain energy thinking about what the other person is saying.

Pu Tao picked up a pile of small stones from the ground, shook them close to the edge of the King Fire on the cauldron, and then handed them to Mo Hao. "If you meet someone who has strayed into this world like you, you can give him this stone and ask him to take refuge here. With the presence of the King Fire, this place can block most troubles."

"If you want to return here, just crush the rocks. If you want to make it, it's easy. Just shake a handful of rocks over the edge of the fire."

In other words, this place has become a [safe house] in this Taixu Realm, or a [fire-transmitting sacrificial site]?
Taking the gravel from Putao's hand, these small stones carried a faint warmth.

Mo Hao realized that this would be a positioning prop that could be used in this chaotic Taixu Realm, and he immediately put it away.

Due to the loss of the Nine Cauldrons, the [border] thing is in complete chaos, which means that once you walk out of any area, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to come back.

But the fact that this thing can teleport people back safely is enough to surprise people. This means that Mo Hao has a safe zone in this Taixu realm that he can enter and exit.

In many explorations of the Taixu Realm, having a safe area for rest is a huge step forward in the exploration of the Taixu Realm.

At the same time, Putao's words also made Mo Hao suddenly remember that there was a madman from the Doomsday Society mixed in the Taixu Realm, and many candidates were still unaware of it.

Moreover, even if the candidates knew that there were madmen who had infiltrated the Doomsday Society in Taixu Territory, a considerable number of them would be powerless to do anything about it. They did not have the power to fight or contend.

To put it bluntly, if the Taixu Realm is artificially replaced and the difficulty is increased, these candidates may even find it difficult to live longer.

"Those who entered this world with you, try to save them if you can." Pu Tao drank his wine, as if remembering something, "Someone is planning to integrate this world into the outside world. The flesh and blood of the aliens are the best agent for integration."

As he spoke, Putao squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, with an extremely obvious mockery on his face, "You don't know what kind of horror is buried in this place. You only touch the outermost part like a blind man touching an elephant and think that's all. Once you let the things here go..."

Putao did not continue speaking, but just sneered twice.

Mo Hao has already heard that there are some very terrifying things hidden in this Taixu Realm, but he is not sure how terrifying they are.

But since it was Putao who said this, he must take this advice seriously.

The job transfer task needs to be completed, but the Doomsday Society and the candidates cannot be left alone.

Especially when Doomsday Society tried to kill him before, the hatred had already been formed, and there was no such thing as talking it out and forgetting the grudges by laughing it off.

Sometimes one side will completely defeat the other, massacre it, and kill it all before it stops.

"But don't worry for now. Those who want to integrate this world into the outside world will not take action now."

"Gathering enough people and killing them all at once as sacrifices is a good idea. It's easier than catching and killing them one by one, and it requires fewer people."

In other words, if Doomsday encounters a student before it has collected enough [Sacrifices], it will most likely not kill him.

Instead, they capture them and wait for the right moment to perform a collective blood sacrifice.

In this way, those students with relatively weaker strength will have their lives protected when they encounter the madman of the Doomsday Society.

Only those who are stronger are in danger.

Mo Hao nodded, indicating that he already knew.

At the same time, looking at his panel, he had gained a lot of experience after experiencing many killings.
