The road is vague

Chapter 254 Unimpeded Accessibility

Inside the teleportation pavilion, a flash of inspiration appeared, and Li Mo and Jiang Feiyan appeared in the teleportation array.

The disciples stationed there all looked at the two men's golden waist tags, and after confirming that they were indeed true disciples of their sect, they all showed excitement.

"Greetings, senior brothers and sisters."

"kindness."

As true disciples, although they are only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, even late-Foundation Establishment disciples would have to address them as senior brother and senior sister, which is equivalent to raising their status by half a generation.

Jiang Feiyan was somewhat dazed.

On the one hand, the fact that she had become a true disciple came too suddenly; on the other hand, she was unsure how to get along with the other disciples of the sect and was not prepared.

"Senior sister, I'm planning to go check out the Ancestral Hall first, what about you?"

Generally speaking.

The first thing to do after becoming a true disciple is to go to the Ancestral Hall.

In addition to a symbolic bow, true disciples will also carefully read through those previously unused martial arts techniques that required huge sums of contribution from the sect to be selected and learned.

These techniques all have demanding conditions for cultivation, but the foundation they provide is astonishing.

Each sect has similar collections.

However, to prevent some mediocre disciples from becoming overly ambitious and suffering the consequences, each sect adopts similar restrictions, allowing only a select few exceptional disciples who are willing to pay a heavy price to cultivate.

But for true disciples, all these restrictions will no longer exist.

There are many similar cases. In some respects, true disciples are almost equivalent to the sect's key investment direction for the future.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feiyan couldn't help but shake her head.

"I'm feeling a bit unsettled right now, so I plan to go back to my cave and meditate and rest for a while."

Her answer was exactly what Li Mo expected.

As the two walked and talked, they pushed open the door of the teleportation pavilion and were about to say goodbye and leave when they saw more than ten people standing outside the door.

Not only were there disciples of the Justice Society, but also disciples from aristocratic families, all of whom turned to look at the two.

Upon seeing the two men's gold waist badges, many people looked disappointed.

The acting sect leader has clearly accepted the election results, and their appeal was rejected.

in this way.

The disciples from the aristocratic families here had no choice but to bow slightly to the two, along with the unaffiliated disciples.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Li."

"Senior Sister Jiang, congratulations..."

Compared to the hypocritical flattery of the wandering disciples, the disciples of the aristocratic families sighed with regret.

Jiang Feiyan always felt uneasy about her status as a true disciple, as if it were a castle in the air, so she quickly responded.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. We were just lucky. We are all fellow disciples."

Li Mo glanced around the crowd but didn't see Chen Rong or Wei Cang.

So he slightly raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"What happened within the secret realm is now in the past. I am determined to obtain the spot as a true disciple. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Say it.

Li Mo did not linger at all and walked straight towards the Ancestral Hall.

His pace quickened, revealing a hint of urgency in his heart.

It all started when he told Lu Qi in the True Yang Secret Realm that his refuge talisman had been destroyed. Lu Qi first asked about the specific details, then used a boundary-breaking talisman to send him away and told him a secret.

"The true reason why the Justice Society launched this civil war is revealed in the Ancestral Hall."

It's not hard to tell from Lu Qi's words that he clearly knows a little about what's happening inside the True Yang Secret Realm.

soon.

Li Mo then arrived at the Ancestral Hall. Two gatekeepers looked at him, about to question him, but suddenly noticed his waist tag, and their expressions changed immediately.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

These two were actually the same two people who were on duty here when Li Mo advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After glancing at the two of them briefly, Li Mo did not say anything and walked straight into the Ancestral Hall.

After passing through three courtyards, he finally arrived at the main hall where he could visit the statue of the patriarch. He immediately took out incense and candles to worship, and then he froze.

Inside the Ancestral Hall, there are three statues of the Ancestral Masters!
The founding patriarch was Lingmu Zhenren, the second patriarch was Dongcha Zhenren, and the third patriarch was Qingling Zhenren!
Li Mo stared blankly at the statue of the Qingling Zhenren Patriarch, his mind going completely blank, as if it were about to explode.

"So that's how it is! Hahaha! You were all wrong, you were the ones who were wrong..."

Li Mo knelt before the statue of the patriarch. He first muttered to himself, then laughed and cried at the same time, constantly pouring out his resentment and grievances.

After a long time.

He wiped away his tears, his emotions completely calmed down, no longer entangled by resentment, leaving only a mature and determined gaze.

After respectfully offering incense to the three patriarchs, he left the patriarch hall.

Li Mo now clearly understands that the life and death of his sect depends entirely on Sima Fu's all-out effort. Perhaps some Nascent Soul cultivators have already noticed the abnormality here.

"No wonder the first thing to do after this great battle was to repair the mountain-protecting formation and announce the closure of the mountain."

In the more than two thousand years of history of the Great Qian Kingdom, there have been several instances of sects being destroyed due to a lack of Nascent Soul cultivators to inherit their legacy. This is not a rare occurrence. In other countries, similar things happen all the time, like the ebb and flow of the tide. Sects that have survived for thousands of years are actually a very small minority.

From the perspective of the sect, from the perspective of history.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a true disciple, is utterly insignificant.

"If that unforeseen situation were to occur, I would have to be prepared in advance and at least have a way out."

Think of this.

Li Mo first arrived at the treasure pavilion.

When he saw that the manager here was a female cultivator wearing a colorful mask, he was momentarily stunned.

The female cultivator had a graceful and upright figure. When she looked up and saw Li Mo, her eyes under the mask lit up.

"Senior Brother Li Mo, how have you been?"

Upon hearing the voice and confirming the person's identity, Li Mo was taken aback. "Ye Yineng?"

"Hehe, it seems that Senior Brother Li has almost forgotten about his little sister. That's right, it's been more than ten years since we last met. Senior Brother is still as charming as ever. Now that you have been promoted to a true disciple of our sect, you will surely be surrounded by beautiful women in the future. How could you still remember your junior sister?"

She's still a tormenting enchantress!
"Junior sister is joking."

After taking a deep breath, Li Mo responded politely to Ye Yineng, but a hint of surprise and uncertainty was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

This person's identity is truly mysterious. Even though he has now become a true disciple, he still feels that the other party is elusive and unapproachable.

However, he had important business to attend to, so he took off the waist tag of a true disciple.

"Junior Sister Ye, I want to use all of my sect's contribution points to exchange for a branch of the sect's Pure Spirit Tree."

"all?"

After confirming Li Mo's contributions to the sect, Ye Yineng smiled slightly.

"Please wait here, senior brother."

About half an incense stick later.

Ye Yimeng walked out again and returned to the front desk. Behind her were two humanoid puppets carrying two large bundles of tree branches, which emitted an astonishing wood spiritual power.

These branches are probably scraps from the Pure Spirit Tree, left over from the annual pruning.

However, for mid- to low-level disciples, it is a priceless treasure. After all, it is a branch of a rare and ancient divine tree that can only be obtained by disciples of the Spirit Eye Sect through exchanging sect contributions or as tribute from the imperial palace.

"Senior brother, please take a count."

Li Mo dared not be careless and immediately nodded, carefully counting the items.

The value of these Qingling tree branches is immeasurable; they cannot be bought with spirit stones and can only be exchanged through sect contribution points. After confirming the details, he nodded to Ye Yineng.

"Yes."

After the transaction was successfully completed, Li Mo retrieved his disciple's token and was about to leave when Ye Yineng chuckled.

"Actually, I saw Brother Li once three months ago at the public memorial ceremony on the back mountain, but he seemed to be in a bad mood at the time, so I didn't say hello."

Li Mo was slightly taken aback and looked at Ye Yineng with confusion.

"You don't hate me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yineng was taken aback for a moment before realizing that she was now a disciple of a prestigious family.

“It’s all in the past now. I know my senior brother has his own reasons.”

Li Mo was struck dumb, staring at Ye Yineng in disbelief.

After a long time.

He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly to her.

"Thank you."

Having said that, Li Mo did not linger any longer and strode into the Lingquan Pavilion.

Although he was a true disciple, he could not cultivate freely here. He could only cultivate by paying the sect's contribution points to buy out the graduation assessment reward for this year's advanced training hall.

However, he did not intend to do so; his purpose in coming here was simply to verify his suspicions.

The main hall was enveloped in a layer of milky white spiritual energy.

Li Mo stepped into the main hall and could vaguely see the spirit pool in the center, from which visible spiritual energy was constantly emerging. The spiritual energy here had a soft and clear feel, very gentle and delicate, as if it had come alive.

"It's still the same feeling."

Li Mo sat by the spiritual spring, quietly contemplating its beauty.

His divine sense first observed the changes in the lightning crystals within his body, and then began to carefully trace the source of this edge.

About an hour later.

He suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the spiritual spring in the center of the hall.

"what is that!"

He had a vague feeling that the reason why the spiritual spring here had the property of accelerating the condensation of lightning crystals was because there was a sealed space beneath the spiritual spring, and there was a living thing inside that was constantly spreading an aura outward.

He was now almost certain that this was indeed vital energy!

After being shocked for a while, Li Mo remembered the sealing technique of the Chen family and pondered for a moment. It seemed that his sect still had many secrets. After all, this was a sect with a thousand-year-old heritage.

However, he has basically accomplished his purpose in coming here.

He is now completely certain that only through the dual cultivation of body and mind can one quickly condense lightning crystals and thus possibly cultivate the so-called Extreme Lightning Body.

"It seems we must gather clues about the Yin De Dan. I wonder if there is a cultivation method for both body and mind in the Ancestral Hall."

Half an hour later.

After issuing a task related to collecting Yin De Dan as a true disciple, Li Mo immediately went to the Law Enforcement Hall.

After three months of reconstruction, although there are still large areas of ruins, the main structures of many buildings have basically taken shape.

In particular, the Zhenfeng Pavilion White Pagoda, located inside the Law Enforcement Hall, has been erected once again.

The current head of the Zhenfeng Pavilion and the prison guards have been largely replaced, with disciples of the Justice Society temporarily taking on these roles.

However, this was hardly a lucrative position, and given that it had previously been intended as a place to accommodate people with disabilities, Li Mo estimated that the members here would likely be replaced again in the future. His arrival quickly drew the personal greeting of several chiefs.

Li Mo got straight to the point.

"I want to know if any foreigners are being held here."

His purpose in coming here was simple: to find the remnants of the witch clan.

Based on some memories of the True Demon Avatar, Chen Kaixuan's black lotus was a magical artifact of the Witch Clan, so he guessed that a descendant of the Witch Clan might be imprisoned here.

According to the "Great Zhou Dream Interpretation".

The Wu tribe possesses the talent to directly communicate with the order of heaven and earth through blood sacrifice.

Ancient cultivators once offered sacrifices to the witch clan, gaining all sorts of incredible talents and powers. It is even possible that the current Dharma-ending Age was formed by sacrificing the witch clan to communicate with the order of heaven and earth.

Li Mo's idea was simple.

Beneath the southern wilderness lies a miniature Seven Star Altar.

He only needs to find another member of the Wu clan to make direct use of them. If he successfully communicates with the power of heaven and earth, he will benefit immensely, no matter what.
