Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 516 The Unchangeable Trend

After watching her second senior sister, Hua Shuangling, carry the harvested medicinal herbs back to report, her figure transformed into a moon-white streak of light.

Mo Yu, a mortal, withdrew his gaze and sat down again by the herb field.

He did not begin cultivating immediately, but simply looked quietly at the herbs in front of him that were thriving under the nourishment of spiritual energy, while recalling the complex emotions that flashed across his second senior sister's eyes when she left.

It's envy, it's blessings, but more than anything, it seems to be a kind of... weariness.

Just then, a black ring in his storage pouch vibrated.

The mortal Mo Yu quickly shifted his attention to it.

"Is it Dong Xuan'er?"

With a thought, he connected the sound transmission device on the other end.

"Good news! Great news!"

On the other end of the magical artifact, Dong Xuan'er's excited voice immediately rang out, "Senior Brother Mo Yu! Guess what? The matter of discovering that the Ghost Spirit Sect's demonic cultivators were infiltrating the Spirit Beast Mountain in Lanzhou has finally yielded results from the sect's higher-ups!"

Even through the sound transmission artifact, one could hear how excited and proud she was.

After all, she did "participate" in this mission, even though she was just an accessory throughout.

"Oh, I know."

The mortal Mo Yu's reaction to this was almost indifferent.

"Hey! Why do you seem to have no expectation at all? This is a major discovery that we worked so hard to find!" Dong Xuan'er on the other end of the phone was immediately dissatisfied.

"No, you heard wrong."

Mo Yu, a mortal, gave a perfunctory reply, but a faint hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

At first, after handing over the two corpses and the evidence, he was slightly worried that it might have a huge impact on the original plot, causing the future he knew to completely collapse.

However, as time went by, three whole months passed, and none of the seven sects of Yue Kingdom sent any substantial news.

He had already vaguely guessed the final outcome.

If a spy from a hostile force is discovered within the family, even if a swift and decisive crackdown isn't immediately launched, it's understandable to prepare secretly for ten days to half a month to avoid alerting the enemy.

But nothing was done for a month, two months, and even three months, and things remained calm.

In the end, it's highly likely they won't actually take action.

as predicted……

From the other end, Dong Xuan'er spoke excitedly, as if announcing good news:
"After receiving the evidence we submitted, Spirit Beast Mountain was 'furious' and immediately declared that it would launch a thorough investigation within its sect, vowing to eliminate all hidden demonic cultivators! Our Yellow Maple Valley, along with the other five major sects, will also conduct corresponding internal investigations in the near future, just in case!"

"Furthermore, the sect has given us extremely high praise for our ability to uncover the hidden demonic cultivator! Not only have they publicly rewarded each of us with a Foundation Establishment Pill, but they've also publicly commended us! Now, our reputations will probably spread throughout the entire Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom!"

Dong Xuan'er was very pleased with herself.

For her, who was vain, this mission would not only allow her to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also make her stand out in the entire cultivation world and impress her aunt.

This is an absolute steal!
But the mortal Mo Yu felt no joy at all upon hearing this.

He simply raised his head silently, gazing up at the clear blue sky above Hanmei Peak.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with these rewards.

Instead... let Spirit Beast Mountain investigate the demonic cultivators within its own sect?

What's the difference between this and letting S.H.I.E.L.D. investigate Hydra internally?!

There's no way they could find out!
However, upon closer reflection, this seems to be... the only possible outcome.

After all, it was just two disciples at the Qi Refining stage from an allied sect on the periphery who were proven to be spies of the demonic path.

The fact that this matter has alerted the top leaders of the seven major factions, and that they are even willing to launch a large-scale internal investigation, shows that they have taken it very seriously.

What else do you want?
Just because two undercover agents have infiltrated the outer perimeter of an ally's gang, does that mean we should immediately conclude that the entire gang, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is full of undercover agents?

Isn't this insane?!
The telepathic communication with Dong Xuan'er had just ended.

A powerful and familiar divine sense descended directly into his mind.

"Master."

Mo Yu, a mortal, composed himself and respectfully replied.

"Do not harbor any resentment toward the sect's handling of the matter of the demonic infiltrator."

Hong Fu's cool voice carried a hint of reassurance, "There's more to this than meets the eye. This matter involves a high-level secret, which I cannot reveal to you."

"Master, you are overthinking it. This disciple has no complaints." The mortal Mo Yu's tone was calm, even with a faint smile.

"..."

Hong Fu paused for a moment, then said, "It's good that you know what you're doing. Besides the rewards that are out in the open, the sect has also recorded a great merit for you. Once you've decided what you need, just come to my cave to find me."

"Thank you, Master."

Mo Yu, a mortal, bowed once more.

Hong Fu sighed almost inaudibly and then withdrew her divine sense.

The courtyard was quiet once again.

The smile on Mo Yu's face gradually faded, replaced by utter calm.

Is there something else going on? He had actually already guessed what this so-called "hidden story" was.

It's nothing more than the fact that the higher-ups of Spirit Beast Mountain have probably already confessed their origins to the highest levels of the other six sects through some channel.

Their Spirit Beast Mountain was originally a branch of the "Spirit Control Sect," one of the six major sects of the demonic path, planted in the Yue Kingdom thousands of years ago—a hidden mole.

However, thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed.

The upper echelons of Spirit Beast Mountain have long lost any sense of belonging to their so-called "master family" in the distant Tianluo Kingdom.

They certainly didn't want an emperor emeritus to appear above them out of nowhere, bossing them around.

Therefore, the Spirit Beast Mountain sect was willing to act as a "spy within a spy," continuing to disguise themselves and gather intelligence on the demonic path for the seven sects of Yue Kingdom.

If the six sects of the Demonic Path were to launch a large-scale invasion of the Yue Kingdom in the future, they could use this identity to turn against them at the most crucial moment and severely betray them.

This story sounds absolutely perfect and incredibly tempting.

Among the high-ranking old monsters of the Seven Sects, there might be some insightful individuals who could guess that Spirit Beast Mountain's words were nothing more than a self-inflicted wound, a ruse.

But, so what?

In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme; ultimately, it is strength that speaks!
Among the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, Spirit Beast Mountain was already considered to be in the middle to upper range. Within its sect, there was also a Nascent Soul stage ancestor and several Core Formation stage elders, making it a powerful force.

Furthermore, the overall strength of the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom far surpasses that of the seven sects of the kingdom.

Are they really willing to take such a huge risk and completely push their powerful ally, Spirit Beast Mountain, to the opposite side just because of a little unverifiable "suspicion"?
Just because of a little bit of "doubt", they are going to unite and fight to the death against a Nascent Soul ancestor and several Core Formation elders.

Who can shoulder this responsibility?
Who has the prestige to organize such a devastating civil war?

nothing.

Therefore, even those "smart people" who truly see through the truth will unanimously choose to protect themselves.

After all, if revealing this matter fails to completely eliminate Spirit Beast Mountain in one fell swoop, it will inevitably incur the jealousy and furious backlash of Spirit Beast Mountain in the future.

Moreover, even if they really believed it and the fight really started, wouldn't it be them who rushed to the front to annihilate the Nascent Soul Ancestor and the Core Formation Elder?

Under immense pressure and risking death, they did something "stupid" that brought them little benefit.

In this world, very few people are willing to do it.

Therefore, these "clever people" ultimately chose to remain silent.

The more deeply Mo Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the so-called "sudden major historical events" were never accidental.

It is an inevitable catalyst that will be born from the tide of the times and ignite all contradictions!
It is an era in which all problems have accumulated to a certain degree and inevitably erupted!
Even if he were to jump out now and reveal everything that would happen in the future, including the "truth" of the betrayal by Spirit Beast Mountain and the invasion by the demonic path, it would have no effect and would not be able to change the final outcome.

He will only be seen as a crazy person who talks nonsense.

Although he had despised countless times in his heart those "clever people" who chose to remain silent in order to protect themselves.

But when he himself was truly placed at this historical juncture...

After careful consideration, the choice he made was exactly the same as those he had once despised.

—To protect oneself wisely.

"The problems are too deeply entrenched to be easily reversed!"

He slowly uttered those four words.

It wasn't until he was actually there that the mortal Mo Yu truly understood the weight of those four words.

And in this impending massive wave.

He needs to plan ahead and decide which path he wants to take.
There are still twelve or thirteen years left.

It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.

It's impossible for someone with great supernatural powers.

However, obtaining an expert-level mastery degree, along with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, is almost a certainty.

If we add the advantages of his Yang spiritual root and the cultivation technique he practices, along with all the magical treasures he possesses, he might not be unable to fight even against someone in the early Nascent Soul stage.

If you really can't beat them, you can always call for help in the chat group.

Anyway, it's all about relying on "yourself," so there's nothing shameful about it.

It was precisely this strength that made the mortal Mo Yu hesitate.

It would be better if there were no other choice.

However, he has the ability to change the course of the battle, and given his qualifications, he is bound to be among those who are taken away, rather than being abandoned.

Even without mentioning that they helped the seven sects of Yue Kingdom resist the invasion of the demonic path.

They followed their sect to develop in the Northern Liang Kingdom.

I'll still go with Han Li to the Chaotic Star Sea.

Or, given his power at that time, he could slip away and go to the Great Jin Dynasty or other places to have fun.

There are too many choices.

"never mind,"

The mortal Mo Yu simply chose to give up: "I'll think about it later. I trust my future wisdom."
