Mowenjie nodded, yes, that was the Long Dragon Sword, father.
Mowei Feng praised endlessly, "One of the Ten Famous Swords, indeed living up to its reputation. It is said that when this sword appears, it can attract all other swords to its side, can draw lightning into the earth, and can summon the celestial dragon to soar into the sky. I wonder if these legends are true?"
Mo Wenjie smiled kindly, thinking that to verify whether the legends were true, they could simply try it in the mountains and forests.
Mowei Feng asked Mo Wenjie, such a divine sword, only the divine-level sword manual would match it and prevent Long Dragon Sword from being covered in dust!
Mo Wenjie replied, "I've obtained a set of sword manuals elsewhere. As for whether they are earthly, celestial, or divine level, I really don't know. After I try them tomorrow, father, you can distinguish them and find out."
Yao Wanting smiled brightly, "Wenjie, you've been working hard all day. Rest early and we'll go together tomorrow to witness the magic of Long Dragon Sword."
Everyone left the living room to rest, and there was no further talk throughout the night.
The next morning, Mo Wenjie and the three beautiful women finished their morning exercise and came to the living room, where Mo Wei Feng and Yao Wanting were already waiting for them.
Yao Wanting told them that breakfast had been prepared and was waiting for them to come and eat together.
The family had breakfast, and then went to the deep mountains and old forests to try their swords.
They arrived at a quiet valley.
Mo Wei Feng couldn't wait and urgently urged Mo Wenjie, "Wenjie, show us the power of Longquan Sword. Let father enjoy the scenery."
Mo Wenjie smiled in response, "I will display the first move of the thunder nine sword style called 'Chasing Moon with Clouds': Looking up to the northwest, floating clouds rely on the ten-thousand-mile-long sword. People say that in this place, deep into the night, the light of a celestial duel can be seen. Now, I'll demonstrate."
He held the long sword, which shimmered with a piercing cold light, as if it were the sharpest tip of a knife in the universe.
He was dressed in a magnificent sky-blue long robe, which fluttered down from his shoulders like thousands of butterflies dancing gracefully in the clouds and water. A blue silk belt was tied around his waist, with golden threads embroidered on it, and the sound echoed in the air.
Mo Wenjie lightly tapped the sword hilt with his finger, and the long sword swiftly slid out of its sheath, slicing a silver-white arc that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth. How could such power be resisted by mere mortals?
His figure was as swift as lightning, and his swordplay was like the wind, with the sword body humming a sound that accelerated the heartbeat. Like fallen petals dancing in the wind, Longquan Sword had become a speeding meteor, swiftly piercing through the void and slicing through the sky.
The four women, Yao Wanting, Ding Qingyao, Qin Lingyue, and Zhou Manru, also had the sound of their swords humming as if about to sheathe them. The feeling was that they would bow to the sword when they held it. When they held their sword hilt, the swords transmitted a powerful martial intent, making them feel excited and passionate.
Just as they were stunned, a thunderous lightning strike descended from the sky, carrying an endless torrent of sword aura. It landed on the opposite hillside, causing a resounding boom and dust to rise. Splash! Splash! The continuous sound of water splashing echoed until the dust settled.
The five of them were utterly shocked by the scene before them. The opposite hillside had been cut in half; that was terrifyingly incredible.
Mo Wei Feng murmured to himself: "This move, Chasing Moon with Clouds, even the early-stage condensed qi realm wouldn't be able to withstand it. Even in the mid-stage condensed qi realm, being hit would mean bones and flesh scattered. This is truly Daoist-level martial arts. The swordsmanship that created this sword technique is no ordinary being. The combination of powerful sword skills and a divine sword can indeed kill Daoists, not impossible. My son being able to obtain both the Thunder Nine Swords and the Long Dragon Sword is truly an auspicious sign for our Mo family!"
Yao Wanting came back to her senses. "Wenjie, my son, that one sword truly moved heaven and earth, and caused the gods to weep. You are invincible in your realm."
Ding Qingyao conveyed her emotions through her eyes. "Wenjie, the power of your Thunder Nine Swords is too terrifying. None would survive an attack from it."
Qin Lingyue and Zhou Manrong spoke in unison. "Husband is mighty! This sword's aura shakes the heavens and earth, its might is bold and imposing, with courage to face thousands of men."
Mo Wenjie felt embarrassed and said, "With my current strength, I can only perform the first two moves. If I use the second move, Stone Breaking Heavenly Domain, my true qi will be drained, so I absolutely cannot use it when there's no absolute guarantee."
Mo Wei Feng nodded in agreement. "So it is. I wondered how the power could be so great. It turns out that the founder of Thunder Nine Swords channeled all his true qi into a single strike, rendering enemies powerless, even though he exhausted his own qi. However, the opponent would have no chance of survival, making it incredibly formidable."
Mo Wenjie smiled at them and said, "Now that we've seen the power of Longquan Sword, let's go home."
Mo Wei Feng's face was beaming with joy. His son was so excellent, how could he not be happy? He waved his hand grandly and said, "Let's go home and celebrate our victory!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head. "Father, let's skip the victory celebration. There's nothing to be proud of here. This is all due to the power of Longquan Sword and the Thunder Nine Swords. I'm just the executor; there's nothing to boast about."
Mo Wei Feng laughed loudly. "My son is modest. Even if it were divine swords and sword techniques that reached the realm of the gods, they still need strength to manifest their power. I, your old father, don't have such strength, so even if I were given these divine swords and techniques, I couldn't unleash their full potential."
Yao Wanting smiled gently, now admitting defeat to her son!
Mo Wei Feng felt complacent and proud, "The strength of a noble family is naturally such that the younger generation surpasses the older one. The Mo family is about to rise. Those fallen families are like sows giving birth to rats; each generation is worse than the last!"
Yao Wanting sternly glared at him. "You're in your forties, how can you not have a proper demeanor?"
The three daughters-in-law covered their mouths and giggled.
The family returned to the Mo manor happily and contentedly.
Mo Wei Feng sat down and sipped some tea. "The day of the opening of the Kunlun Secret Realm will be a few days from now. There are twenty-five spots for us in the Southern Domain to participate in the secret realm's experience. Since you've returned, you'll represent our Mo family in this secret realm's adventure. Although the secret realm is full of dangers, opportunities are also everywhere."
Mo Wenjie heard this and felt confused, "Isn't Kunlun Realm just this big? I haven't heard of anything about the Southern Domain or Northern Domain."
Ding Qingyao took over the conversation, "Husband, although you have returned to the family, you've only been in Kunlun for a few days. Everyone was more concerned with asking about your well-being in the secular world and had no time to tell you about Kunlun. The Kunlun Realm is divided into four domains: East, West, South, and North. Each domain is several hundred miles apart. In the central area of the Kunlun Realm, where the spiritual energy is most concentrated, there is a secret realm."
Mo Wenjie immediately said without thinking, "If the spiritual energy is so concentrated, why not move everyone to the secret realm?"
Ding Qingyao continued, "My husband does not know this. Firstly, the secret realm is simply too small to accommodate people from all four domains. Secondly, the abundance of spiritual energy not only speeds up the enhancement of humans but also terrifyingly enhances the strength of beasts. Moreover, the reason behind this is that it provides young people in the four domains with opportunities to make progress. The ancestors decided that young people from all four domains are eligible to participate in the secret realm's adventure, with the premise that only one hundred participants are allowed each year, and twenty-five from each domain. The number cannot be less than twenty-five or more than twenty-five, which is also for giving beasts a chance to breed."
Mo Wenjie nodded, "That's a good idea. It ensures the breeding of beasts so that they won't become extinct."
Ding Qingyao also nodded, "The elders also considered this, and the secret realm adventure regulations state that participants must be at least at the Jin Dan realm. Upon entering the secret realm, there are regional divisions. It is not allowed to kill three-level beasts or below. Beasts naturally fight among themselves, so the beasts in each region have similar strength levels. The ten-level area is off-limits because the beasts within have all reached strength levels above Tu Xu stage. Participants can choose regions freely in the secret realm, and they can either act alone or form groups. All participants in the secret realm cannot fight among themselves; anyone found doing so will have their adventure qualification revoked. Anyone who obtains heavenly materials or beast cores belongs to that person alone and cannot be seized by any other participant. If a participant sees another participant unable to defeat a beast, they have the right to choose whether to help or not. Therefore, every adventure has someone who gets eaten by beasts because they cannot defeat them, which is why danger abounds in the secret realm; others can choose not to help if they see you surrounded by beasts."
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "This is too cruel, isn't it? If someone chooses to leave alone when they see another being attacked by beasts, isn't that a bit cold-blooded?"
Mo Wei Feng said, "Actually, this is normal. After all, no one wants to share their loot, especially precious materials like this. By prohibiting others from taking them, we can ensure that more people don't become greedy and lead to increased death tolls if they were to take them."
Mo Wenjie thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. In the realm of spiritual cultivation, where the strong devour the weak, there can be no absolute fairness. The prohibition against taking things ensures the safest possible environment.
Ding Qingyao continued to explain, "Although there are only twenty-five slots, not all of them are filled every year. Many people believe that their strength is not enough and that they won't gain much from entering the secret realm, so they don't participate. They wait until they can defend themselves or have the chance to gain cultivation resources before entering for an adventure."
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Being realistic and choosing what one can handle is indeed a wise choice."
Ding Qingyao nodded in agreement, "Yes! If one returns from the secret realm adventure without any gain, they will certainly be ridiculed by others. Therefore, without absolute confidence, most people would choose to give up."
Mo Wenjie asked, "So does that mean there are a lot of spots available, and we can go as many as we want?"
Ding Qingyao nodded, "Theoretically, yes. In previous years, the number of participants from our Southern Domain in the secret realm adventure has never exceeded twenty."
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Qingyao, Qin Lingyue, and Zhou Manr, "Would you all like to participate in the adventure?"
The three women replied immediately, "Of course we are willing to participate in the adventure! As long as you are with us, what should I be afraid of?"
Mo Wenjie smiled, "Since you all want to participate in the adventure, I'll accompany you. However, your current strength is still weak. In the next few days, I'll help you all reach the realm of integration."
Mo Wei Feng, who was on the sidelines enjoying the show, sighed, "A swallow has a long tail. Once married, don't take your mother-in-law! Your mother-in-law has only improved one realm since the creation of your qilin array. My three daughters-in-law have improved by nearly ten realms!"
Upon hearing this, the three daughters-in-law blushed and said, "Father, why do you say such a thing?"
Yao Wanting sternly glared at him, "You shameless old thing, what kind of things do you talk about!"
Mo Wenjie felt guilty and said, "It's not my father's fault. I did indeed overlook it. I forgot to give my father the Jin Dan that breaks through realms."
Ding Qingyao and the others blushed profusely and lowered their heads, subtly extending their hands towards his waist. Mo Wenjie felt a series of pinches on his waist, and he hurriedly said, "What are you pinching me for?"
Ding Qingyao blushed and chided him playfully, "It's all your fault, making father tease us!"
Mo Wei Feng felt embarrassed at this point, but since things had already happened, how should he explain it?
