After everyone left the palace, they began to discuss where to plant the seed of the Spirit Source. However, a mysterious figure in black robes had been secretly watching them. Just as they chose a valley to plant the seed, the figure in black robes appeared.
"Give up the seed of the Spirit Source, or all of you will die," the figure in black robes spoke in a chilling tone. The crowd refused and took combat postures. Jinsilk Fairy struck first, shooting a beam of gold light towards the figure in black robes. However, the figure easily dodged and counter-attacked with such overwhelming force that it pushed everyone back.
Just as everyone felt despondent, Mo Wenjie from the group stepped forward. He cast an ancient restriction technique, temporarily trapping the figure in black robes. Seizing this opportunity, the others worked together to plant the seed of the Spirit Source. Instantly, the seed took root and sprouted, emitting a auspicious aura that formed a powerful barrier to repel the figure in black robes. Seeing this, the figure in black robes knew that it was futile to seize the seed and had to leave with a grudge. The crowd let out a sigh of relief, gazing at the embryonic land of fortune created by the thriving seed of the Spirit Source, their hearts brimming with hope and joy.
Just as the crowd was immersed in joy, they suddenly noticed that Mo Wenjie's face was pale and wobbling. It turned out that the ancient restriction technique had consumed too much of his spiritual energy. The crowd hurried to sit in a circle and channel their own spiritual energy to Mo Wenjie. After some effort, Mo Wenjie finally regained some color.
At this moment, a melodious sound of music emerged from the fertile land grown from the Spirit Source seed. Curious, the crowd entered to see what was happening, and they found a pavilion emitting spiritual light within. Entering the pavilion, they discovered that the walls were inscribed with long-lost cultivation techniques. Overjoyed, the crowd realized that this was a gift from the Spirit Source seed to them.
But Mo Wenjie harbored a secret worry; he felt that everything was too smooth. Sure enough, as the crowd began to study the cultivation techniques, the surrounding space suddenly twisted. A colossal array appeared, revealing that it was the figure in black robes' last resort, left behind after their failure.
Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, Jiang YuRou, XiaoYanWen, TuoBaYingYing, QinXiaoDi, CaoChunLing, and Jinsilk Fairy were surprised but united in breaking the array. After a fierce battle, they finally broke through the array and the figure in black robes was heavily injured due to the array's backlash. With no more hope of contendership for the opportunity brought by the Spirit Source seed.
Though the group had successfully broken the array, they had also suffered significant spiritual energy losses. Observing his injured companions, Mo Wenjie swore silently in his heart to resolve the potential threat posed by the figure in black robes. Therefore, he decided to follow the trace of the black-robed figure. Following a faint scent, Mo Wenjie arrived at a dark cave.
The figure in black robes was healing in the cave and looked startled upon seeing Mo Wenjie approach. Mo Wenjie said nothing, but launched an attack immediately, and the two engaged in another fierce battle. However, the figure in black robes was much weaker now and gradually found itself outmatched by Mo Wenjie.
Just as Mo Wenjie was about to deliver a fatal blow to the figure in black robes, the latter suddenly begged for mercy, offering to hand over all of his treasured items in exchange for a chance at life. After hesitating for a moment, Mo Wenjie considered that killing the figure would go against the Buddhist teachings of cultivators, and thus agreed to the black-robed figure's request.
Mo Wenjie returned to the Fujun Sect with the treasures of the figure in black robes. Upon seeing him return safely and bringing back numerous rare medicinal herbs that could enhance their cultivation, his companions were overjoyed. The group utilized these resources to focus on their practice, and under their guardianship, the Fujun Sect flourished into a true spiritual refining paradise. Their names were revered throughout the heavens and honored by generations to come.
Several centuries later, the Fujun Sect faced an unprecedented crisis. A dark force quietly rose, hearing of the prosperity here and aspiring to occupy it. This dark force was composed of demon cultivators, who were cruel in their methods and caused great suffering to all living beings wherever they went.
Mo Wenjie and the others had reached extremely high realms, and when faced with the threat, they led the disciples of the Fujun Sect to resist vigorously. The battle was fierce, with dark magic clashing violently against spirit force, creating brilliant light.
Mo Wenjie and his companions set up a vast array, like an endless net, to try to trap the hordes of demon cultivators. However, the leader of the demon cultivators was cunning and recognized the flaw in the array. Just when it was crucial, Mo Wenjie understood the deeper power that the original Spirit Source Seed contained and injected it into each of his companions' bodies.
Suddenly, the companions shone with radiant light, and their powerful aura spread outwards like a tumultuous wave. They gathered all their strength in their palms, preparing to unleash their most devastating blow.
In an instant, a dazzling and blinding light burst forth in the sky, like a blazing sun hanging overhead. This brilliant glow illuminated the entire heavens and earth, as if it was banishing darkness completely. The immense power of it was breathtaking.
As the powerful energy burst forth, the demon cultivators felt an unimaginable impact force. They looked on in horror at the sight before them, frantically attempting to flee, but it was already too late. The terrifying light swept through like a scythe, leaving a trail of screams and ashes in its wake.
The thrilling battle finally came to an end, and with this victory, the already famous Fujun Sect gained even greater renown. The names of heroes like Mo Wenjie became popular topics of discussion among people, and their legendary stories were widely circulated throughout the heavens.
These acts of bravery and fearlessness deeply inspired countless cultivators to come. They took Mo Wenjie and others as role models, forging ahead courageously, steadfastly defending the light of righteousness, and using their power to safeguard the tranquility and peace of their homeland.
Months passed and the Fujun Sect was peaceful and serene. The next generation of cultivators grew strong under the protection of their elders. One day, a young cultivator named Lin Yu discovered an odd-looking stone deep within the Fujun Sect. The stone gave off a faint but distinctive vibration. Intrigued, Lin Yu brought the stone to Mo Wenjie. Mo Wenjie examined it closely and realized that the stone seemed to have some hidden connection with the initial Spirit Source Seed.
While studying the stone, it suddenly glowed brightly and some blurred images emerged from within, revealing secrets about the Spirit Source Seed from ancient times. It turned out there was an undiscovered power that could only be obtained through a special trial. Mo Wenjie decided to lead a group of outstanding companions to initiate the trial.
The trial site was full of dangerous traps and illusions, but with Mo Wenjie's guidance, the young cultivators supported each other and gradually advanced. In the end, they found the hidden source of power.
Standing calmly in front of the group, Mo Wenjie's profound and mysterious cultivation was like a towering mountain, inspiring reverence. At this moment, he was fully focused on guiding everyone to absorb that mysterious and powerful energy.
As Mo Wenjie continuously made hand seals with his hands, lines of complex characters flew out from his fingertips and merged into the surrounding air. These characters shimmered with faint light, like scattered stars in the night sky, gradually encasing the power and guiding it to slowly flow into the bodies of the group.
The crowd closed their eyes and followed the heart method and incantation taught by Mo Wenjie, fully operating their meridians and striving to absorb this power. Gradually, sweat began to bead on their foreheads, but everyone's face was filled with determination and focus.
Time passed, and the power was successfully absorbed by more and more people. The sparse spirit energy in the Fujun Sect began to thicken, and the flowers, grass, and trees around seemed to have been nourished by it, growing even more lush. The entire Fujun Sect exuded vitality and vigor, resembling a paradise outside the world—beautiful and captivating.
Finally, as the last bit of power was fully absorbed by the crowd, a dazzling light erupted within the Fujun Sect. The light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire expanse. In this moment, the defensive capabilities of the Fujun Sect were greatly enhanced; even facing any future powerful threats, it could remain as solid and unbreakable as Mount Tai.
And Mo Wenjie, the great leader who shone as brilliantly as a star, guiding his companions resolutely on the path to strength, stood silently beneath that radiant and dazzling light. His towering figure seemed to merge with the glow, emanating an aura of power that couldn't be ignored.
The righteous aura he exuded was like the warm sunshine of spring, both warm and bright. This essence flowed continuously from within him, like a clear spring flowing over each person's heart, spontaneously stirring a longing in everyone. People yearned to be near him, to draw upon that source of righteousness, to feel that endless warmth.
It was from this moment that, thanks to the relentless efforts of Mo Wenjie and many like-minded individuals, the righteousness light shone even more brilliantly. It was like the brightest star in the night sky, piercing through layers of clouds, illuminating every corner of the world that was shrouded in darkness. Whether it be deep valleys, quiet alleys, or rarely trodden wildernesses, there was not a single shadow left. Everywhere this light shone upon, evil had no place to hide; good could flourish; and the entire world was filled with new vitality.
However, the tranquility did not last long. One day, a spatial fissure suddenly appeared at the edge of the Fujun Sect. From it emerged a group of bizarre creatures. They exuded an eerie and chilling aura, with eyes that glowed with an otherworldly light. Mo Wenjie led his companions to investigate and found that these creatures were not from known realms of demons or spirits.
Mo Wenjie tried to communicate with them, but found no rationality in them; they only knew destruction. Mo Wenjie shouted, "What do you want?" With no choice, the group had to engage in battle. However, these creatures were in great numbers, and each one possessed unique abilities that could resist attacks of spirit power.
As the crowd struggled in battle, Mo Wenjie remembered the insights he gained during his exploration of the secret of the Spirit Source Seed. With great effort, he broke through the enemy lines and arrived at the center of the Fujun Sect, where the Spirit Source Tree stood. Mo Wenjie utilized his own cultivation to awaken the deeper powers of the Spirit Source Tree.
In an instant, a bright light erupted within the Fujun Sect. A pure and holy force surged towards the group of bizarre creatures. These beings, upon touching the holy force, melted away as easily as ice did under the sun. After all the invading creatures were destroyed, Mo Wenjie realized that there were many more unknown dangers in the vast universe. He decided to seclude himself to study the power of the Fujun Sect in depth, seeking a permanent method to protect both the Fujun Sect and the world. The others also trained diligently, readying themselves at any moment for their next challenge.
