Mo Wenjie looked at the void. No matter who you are or how much ability you have, if you want us to stay here, it's like daydreaming. I may not know how strong your abilities are, but if you want to defeat me, it's not that easy. If you have the ability, don't hide and reveal yourself. Let's have a real knife and sword fight. If you can defeat me and keep me here, then I will accept it. If you can't defeat me and keep me here, who knows who will stay here permanently! Bring it on and let me see your abilities!
A chilling laugh echoed through the air, "Kid, you're quite bold. Today, I'll show you the vastness of the sky and the depth of the earth." The words had barely been spoken when a shadow, like a bolt of lightning, leapt toward Mo Wenjie. Mo Wenjie's eyes narrowed in intensity. He swiftly turned aside to avoid the blow while simultaneously using hand seals to channel a burst of spiritual light at the shadow. The shadow moved lightly and easily dodged the attack before several strands of black threads emerged from it, resembling ethereal serpents that wound their way toward Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie remained calm and composed. A golden light enveloped his body, and the black threads approached the light, melting away like they were made of nothing. Mo Wenjie let out a loud roar, and his figure shot up into the sky as he rapidly chanted incantations. In the sky, a massive symbol array appeared, and as the symbols shone brilliantly, they released a powerful force that rushed down at the shadow. The shadow saw this and let out an angry roar. Its body expanded rapidly, turning into a giant beast dozens of feet tall with a gaping mouth that aimed to bite into the symbol array. The impact of their collision generated a violent shockwave that shook the surrounding space. Mo Wenjie coughed up blood from his mouth, but his eyes were filled with an indomitable spirit as he prepared to launch another stronger attack.
Suddenly, a beam of golden light appeared in the sky. An old man with white hair and colorful clouds stepped forward on the void. "Wretch, show your true form without delay! Your master has arrived. I didn't expect that a mere sword spirit could also dare to commit misdeeds. Do you not fear turning into dust and ash?"
The dozens-of-meters tall beast, seeing the arrival of the person, trembled all over its body. It immediately shrank into a ball, and at this moment, a magic sword appeared on the ground!
The white-haired elder said, "I am Lu Dongbin, also known as Chunyang Zi, revered as the great master of Daoism. Lu Dongbin Grotto is the highest among the Eight Immortals, with an image of a scholar dressed in Daoist robes and standing with a sword on his back. The Quanzhen Sect originates from Master Luo, who is the most famous sword saint in folklore. Lu Dongbin is known as the founder of the sword saint and was once called Sword Ancestor by later generations. It is said that originally a scholar, at 40 years old he met Master Zheng Longhuo who imparted him Tianxun Sword Technique, allowing him to summon a heavenly spiritual sword to slay demons and evil spirits. Afterwards, he traveled around the world with his sword until he was 64 years old when he encountered Master Zhong Lijun who imparted him Danfa. Now I will present this sword to you, hoping you will cherish it well; this sword is the Longyuan Treasure Sword!"
Mo Wenjie hurriedly bowed deeply, "I am grateful to Pure Yang Immortal for bestowing this divine weapon upon me. I, a mere mortal, will not disappoint the Immortal's great favor. I will definitely treat the Longyuan Treasure Sword with utmost respect and care!"
Lu Dongbin nodded slightly, "The sword is not easy to become the master's. You have received this sword, so you must diligently cultivate and cultivate a connection with it. The Longyuan Treasure Sword has accompanied me through many battles, and the blade has obtained spiritual intelligence. Now entrusted to you, I hope you will use it to uphold righteousness, vanquish evil spirits."
Mo Wenjie responded with due respect, "Rest assured, my lord. I will do everything in my power."
Lu Dongbin waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual light entered Mo Wenjie's body, "I impart you with a set of sword mastery techniques to help you master Longyuan more quickly." Mo Wenjie suddenly felt a surge of information flood into his mind, and he hurriedly settled his mind to comprehend it.
A few days later, Mo Wenjie had become so skilled in controlling Longyuan that he could make it dance and spin in the air. One day, a malevolent spirit appeared suddenly in the secret realm. Mo Wenjie rushed to the scene holding Longyuan, and saw a group of ghostlike monsters causing chaos. Mo Wenjie shouted loudly and Longyuan immediately emerged from its sheath, flashing like a cold light towards the malevolent spirits. As Longyuan moved, the malevolent spirits dispersed. Mo Wenjie was secretly pleased; indeed, Longyuan was an extraordinary sword. With this sword by his side, he would be able to protect peace and order in the celestial realm, fulfilling Pure Yang's trust.
Jiang Yu Rou watched Mo Wenjie with a smile and a nod. She hadn't expected that her husband had such an opportunity. It seemed that her husband was destined for greatness! With you as our leader, we are bound to have limitless prospects! Just thinking about it brings us excitement. What opportunities will we have?
Mo Wenjie stroked the Longyuan Treasure Sword with a smile, "Since the Longyuan is so miraculous, perhaps it can guide us to find the opportunities that belong to all of us." He said this while raising the sword horizontally. The blade of the sword shimmered with a faint light, pointing slowly in a direction. The crowd followed the tip of the sword and saw clouds and mists swirling there, as if a mysterious place was hidden within.
Then, everyone followed the direction pointed by the sword and walked towards an ancient palace. Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the palace. The door was tightly closed, and a faint auspicious aura surrounded it. Mo Wenjie approached and tried to push open the door, but it didn't budge. At this time, Jiang Yu Rou said, "Husband, perhaps special methods are needed to open it." Mo Wenjie pondered for a moment before focusing his spiritual energy into the Longyuan Treasure Sword and touching the door with it. Then he heard a series of mechanical sounds, and the door slowly opened.
Inside, it glowed with golden light, and various rare treasures were displayed. There was also a jade tablet floating in the air. Mo Wenjie picked up the tablet and examined it, discovering that it was an ancient cultivation technique that had been lost for ages. Jiang Yu Rou exclaimed with excitement, "Husband, this is our opportunity!" Mo Wenjie smiled and nodded in agreement. With this cultivation technique, their strength would surely increase greatly.
Huang Ling'er and the others were all excited upon seeing this. With such an opportunity, how could their power not increase? If they couldn't improve their strength with this, then they would feel too incompetent themselves!
As everyone was full of joy, the ancient palace suddenly started shaking violently. Mo Wenjie shouted, "Oh no! We must have triggered the protective seal of the palace."
The group became tense and began searching for a solution. Huang Ling'er, with her sharp eyes, noticed a small array in the corner that was shimmering with light, seemingly related to the shaking.
Mo Wenjie rushed over to study the array. He found that to break it, they needed to inject five types of elemental spiritual energy simultaneously. However, among them, only four could control one type of elemental spiritual energy. They needed one more person who could control the other types.
Just as everyone was anxious, Jiang Yu Rou suddenly remembered that Longyuan contained five elemental powers. Without hesitation, Mo Wenjie inserted the sword into the core of the array.
As the sword merged, the shaking subsided. At this time, a hidden door appeared beside the displayed treasures. Everyone curiosity, opened the door, inside was a huge spirit plant that emitted a dense spiritual energy.
Mo Wenjie was overjoyed: "This is a ten thousand-year spirit root, consuming it can greatly enhance your cultivation foundation."
The group smiled at each other, knowing that their gains were far beyond their imagination. They then followed the instructions of the jade tablet's cultivation technique, using the spiritual energy within the palace and this spirit root to begin their seclusion and cultivation. They prepared to embark on the path of cultivation with a new posture.
Xiao Yawen and Jiang Yu Rou looked at each other and smiled, "Our future cultivation path will definitely be smooth, with such a husband! We will definitely become famous in the future!"
Tuoba Yingying boasted, "Once there were some people who didn't know your strength and thought others were stronger than you. Who would have thought that even offering you a pair of shoes wasn't enough! It's sad!"
However, what they did not know was that all this was being watched by a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows. The owner of those eyes was a cultivator from the way of demons...
Ding Yan heard Tuoba Yingying say this and immediately contradicted her, "We are the best friends, and it was I who introduced you to Mo Wenjie! How can you undermine me like this? What do you mean by that?"
Tuoba Yingying snorted coldly, "Hmph, so what if you introduced him to me? You didn't have a good intention back then. You thought he had no talent and wanted me to embarrass myself. Now that he's powerful, you regret it?” Ding Yan was so angry her face turned red: "You're lying through your teeth! I genuinely thought you two were a perfect match when I introduced you." The two women wouldn't budge, and tension filled the air.
At this point, Mo Wenjie, who had been silent, spoke up, "That's enough! What sort of scene are you two making? We're all cultivators, yet you're still so concerned with worldly matters." Ding Yan looked at Mo Wenjie with a sense of injustice, "Jie Ge (older brother), I really had good intentions." Mo Wenjie waved his hand, "Let's drop this. No more arguing. Now that we have made gains, the road ahead is uncertain and fraught with danger. We should unite and face it together."
The crowd heard this and calmed down. But at that moment, a black smoke suddenly spread around them, revealing the hidden demon cultivator who had been secretly observing them. He laughed maniacally, "You think the spirit tree can be taken easily by you? You all deserve to die here today!" The crowd became alert immediately, and the just-reestablished atmosphere vanished as a fierce battle was about to erupt.
At this moment, Mo Wenjie was very confident in his own strength. He said to the demonic cultivator, "I truly don't know where you got your courage from to talk to me like this. Is it given by Angie? I tell you that you won't be leaving alive today. You can give it a try and see who is more powerful between us!"
The demonic cultivator was angered by Mo Wenjie's words and roared loudly as he charged towards him. He waved his hands, and countless black magical energies transformed into sharp arrows that shot towards Mo Wenjie. However, Mo Wenjie remained calm and leisurely, appearing to leave a shadow behind as he easily dodged the attack. Immediately after, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations, emitting a golden light from his palm that struck the demonic cultivator directly. The demonic cultivator side-stepped to dodge the attack but did not anticipate that the golden light suddenly dispersed into several golden ropes that tightly bound him.
"Is that all you've got?" Mo Wenjie looked down contemptuously at the struggling demonic cultivator. However, a sinister smile suddenly formed on the demonic cultivator's lips, and more magma energy surged from his body. The gold ropes started to slowly corrode. Mo Wenjie was startled in his heart, realizing that this guy had a hidden move.
Just as the demonic cultivator was about to break free and counterattack, a purple lightning bolt suddenly descended from the sky, striking the demonic cultivator directly. It turned out that the guardian spirit beast of this place could not bear to see the evil deeds of the demonic cultivator and had come to help. The demonic cultivator sustained a heavy injury and fled in shame. Mo Wenjie heaved a sigh of relief and turned to his companions, saying, "Let's quickly gather the spiritual essence tree; it's not advisable to linger here."
Upon hearing Mo Wenjie say this, Jiang Yu Rou immediately called out to the others to follow her and go dig the spiritual essence tree!
Suddenly a voice came, "Whoever dares to touch the spiritual essence tree must die!"
