Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 699

From time to time, gold and silver runes appeared on his face, appearing and disappearing, as if something was trying to break free but was eventually pulled back by force.

The whole process seemed extremely strange.

However, at this moment, Lin Mo closed his eyes, and the magic gestures of his hands changed rapidly like wheels, as if he was using all his strength to stimulate some kind of power, causing the golden light on his body to flicker.

At the same time, an amazing spectacle appeared above the mountain where the cave was located.

The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast.

In the blink of an eye, a strong wind came howling, making the whole world dark.

Thick dark clouds gathered together like a tide, covering the sky within a hundred miles, as if shrouded in darkness.

However, the originally fierce gale suddenly stopped, and then a biting chill came from all directions, rolling in the clouds.

Accompanied by waves of blue hail as big as fists falling madly, cold snowflakes fell from the sky like waterfalls.

After a short period of time, this place has turned into a world covered in silver and snow. Everything is frozen in it, as if being in the cold land of a glacier.

Before the snow had completely stopped, a fiery storm swept through the clouds.

The originally heavy dark clouds disappeared completely under the blowing of the hurricane, and the sky was filled with sunshine in an instant.

At this moment, no matter who is on the top of the mountain, they will be shocked by the scene before them and can't help but tremble.

It was noon, and there were several suns that should have appeared at the same time, but now only one was still shining, and the others had all disappeared without a trace.

The only surviving sun emitted a faint golden glow, and the originally azure sky silently turned into light silver.

Under the shining of golden and silver colors, the whole area seems to have entered a mysterious new world.

However, if someone could fly hundreds of miles away from the mountain where Lin Mo was, they would find that the shocking celestial phenomenon was gradually returning to calm.

After flying over the vast sea of ​​fog three hundred miles away, there were still several suns hanging side by side in the sky, and the sky was still as blue, but the light silver light above the sea of ​​fog kept flickering.

However, the strange "rumbling" sound coming from the same direction caused many monks who were already on alert around to fly out of the cave in surprise.

Some of them were standing on the top of the mountain, while others were riding their magic weapons directly into the sky. They all stared in the direction of the sea of ​​fog, with confusion and uneasiness on everyone's face.

Above a mountain just over ten miles away from the sea of ​​fog, a dozen monks were suspended in the air at a height of over a thousand feet, also gazing at the sea of ​​fog in the distance.

A handsome man in white, about thirty years old, but his status was obviously much more noble than the others. He stood proudly at the front of the team with a huge white sword under his feet.

The other dozen or so men, women, young and old lagged behind a little, and their eyes were filled with deep awe as they looked at the man in white.

"Did this person really occupy Rising Sun Peak only three days ago?" The man in white's expression changed slightly, and then he asked without turning his head.

"Reporting to my great uncle, this person did indeed descend upon Rising Sun Peak three days ago, and used his powerful spiritual power to drive out all nearby cultivators at the same time."

"I have a friend who is in the late Nascent Soul stage. He was also in this area at the time. According to him, he couldn't stand under that kind of divine power. All the mana in his body was completely suppressed and couldn't be used at all. Therefore, he could only choose to leave without any resistance."

An old man with white hair and beard bowed slightly and answered respectfully.

"So that's how it is. With just the power of spiritual consciousness, I can completely suppress a mere Nascent Soul cultivator from a distance. Although this is a bit difficult, I can try my best to do it."

"However, suppressing the cultivators in more than a dozen caves at the same time is definitely not something that a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage can do. Even a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Stage would probably find it difficult to do it."

The man in white looked quite strange, and he spoke slowly.

"That senior may have both the clone and the original body!"

The white-haired old man's face suddenly changed and he cried out in surprise.

Hearing this, everyone around was shocked and gasped.

"Just from the strength of his divine power, this possibility is indeed very high. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that this person has borrowed the power of some special magic weapon, or has cultivated an extremely powerful divine secret method."

The man in white robe thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone.

“So that’s it!” The white-haired old man felt a little relieved and seemed to agree with this explanation.

"Hmph, this is just my personal speculation. Even if this person is not a cultivator in the Fusion Realm, he must be a powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, and most likely he has cultivated to the Great Accomplishment Realm. You must all not provoke this person. For such high-level beings, my True Spirit Family will only do our best to establish friendly relations with them, rather than making enemies." The white-robed man's face sank, and he warned seriously.

"How dare I offend this senior. If my great-uncle had not happened to pass by here, I would have planned to move to another place and find another place for my family to stay."

The white-haired old man responded with a wry smile.

"Relocation? That's not necessary. According to observation, this person only used his divine thoughts to drive others away. It can be seen that although his behavior is overbearing, he is not a cruel person. Moreover, judging from the celestial phenomena before us, this person should be using the environment here to practice some mysterious magical power, and he has no other intentions."

"Since he has chosen to live in seclusion here, he must be a casual cultivator without any sect or school. If we can invite him to join our family as a guest elder, it will greatly enhance the strength of our Gu family. Therefore, I decided to stay here for a while and try to establish a good relationship with him."

The man in white robe said this after his eyes flickered.

"It is a great honor for our family that our uncle is willing to stay with us temporarily." The white-haired old man was overjoyed when he heard this.

His great uncle was a powerful person in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm. During his short stay in the cave, just some guidance he gave them was enough to greatly benefit their lineage of disciples.

After all, as the patriarch of the Gu family branch, he himself is just a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The man in white robe was quite satisfied with the old man's respectful attitude. After nodding slightly, he looked up at the distant sea of ​​fog again. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of mysterious magical power could cause such a spectacular celestial phenomenon.

However, the art of refining spirits is a precious secret method of the True Immortal Realm. Even though this white-robed man is a high-ranking figure in the True Spirit family, he was still confused after watching for a while.

Fortunately, the astronomical phenomena seen here are still normal. Otherwise, if they were in the depths of the sea of ​​fog, the man in white robe would have been dumbfounded and would have found it difficult to remain calm.

After all, although some magical skills in the spiritual world can sense the heaven and earth, they can only cause disorder in the nearby heaven and earth vitality at most, and definitely cannot achieve the shocking effect of the soul-refining technique. However, even the celestial phenomenon in front of him made the white-robed man dare not despise Lin Mo, and a strong desire to win him over emerged in his heart.

After observing for a while, they found that there was no obvious change in the distant sky. The man in white robe left a young disciple to guard the top of the mountain, and then led the rest of the people back to the cave at the foot of the mountain.

The nearby practitioners who witnessed the celestial phenomenon were also unable to continue monitoring after being horrified for a long time. Most of them returned to their caves with uneasy feelings.

In the central area of ​​the sea of ​​fog shrouded by white fog, the sky still sparkles with silver light and the sunlight also appears to be shining brightly.

However, apart from these obvious sights, there was no sign of clouds or even a breeze.

There was silence within a radius of over a hundred miles, as if everything was frozen by some mysterious force.

As time goes by, the mysterious phenomena in the sea of ​​fog remain unchanged.

However, on the next day, some black spots appeared on the golden sun, flickering slightly.

By the third day, the spots had gathered into a dark shadow at the core of the sun. By the fourth day, the shadow began to deform, stretch, and gradually become thinner.

On the fifth day, a thin black line became clearly visible on the surface of the golden sun. From a distance, it looked like a giant closed golden eye.

This scene is really horrifying.

On the sixth day, all celestial phenomena remained the same, except that the light emitted by the sun became more dazzling.

At noon on the seventh day, Lin Mo, who was meditating in the cave, slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the black lines on the surface of the giant golden eye transformed from the sun twisted and blurred, and it also slowly opened.

In the black light, a seven-color light ball similar to a pupil gradually emerged. The colors on the surface of the light ball kept flowing, giving people a wonderful feeling of insight into the world.

Not long after, an extremely loud roar, like the roar of a dragon, suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain. The tone was clear and distant, as if it could penetrate the sky and shake people's hearts.

……

In a distant and unknown space, inside a white palace floating in the void, there are several blurry figures surrounded by spiritual light.

They all sat quietly on a platform several dozen feet high, far apart from each other, and seemed to be having some kind of conversation.

Most of the faces of these figures were obscured by the spiritual light. Behind each of them stood several people who looked like disciples and were dressed in different clothes. There were men, women and children, and everyone looked very respectful.

In the central area surrounded by several high platforms, a strange black and white flower with a diameter of one hundred feet is quietly suspended in the low sky, with a fragrant smell and full of mysterious atmosphere.

Suddenly, a blurry figure surrounded by seven-colored spiritual light uttered a slight exclamation, and then he called out "Strange" several times in succession.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanming, what happened? Why did you say such words?"

A figure shrouded in white light nearby asked in a puzzled tone.

"Someone is practicing the art of 'Spiritual Refining' and has successfully broken through the first level, thus causing changes in the celestial phenomena, which were sensed by my monitoring immortal weapon."

The colorful figure named Xuanming hesitated for a moment and then answered honestly.

"Spiritual Refining? This magic has long been regarded as a taboo in all immortal realms. How could someone dare to take the risk to practice it? Even so, we only need to send people to capture the practitioner. Why are you surprised by this, fellow Daoist?"

The figure enveloped by the white light was still somewhat confused and continued to ask.

"If this is true, I naturally have no objection. However, the reaction of heaven and earth sensed by the monitoring fairy weapon originated from a small spiritual world, and was not done by the cultivators in the fairyland."

Fellow Daoist Xuanming responded with a wry smile.

"Someone from the underworld? It's indeed a little unexpected. Perhaps it was a practitioner who sneaked into the underworld and brought this spell to that place. However, it doesn't matter."

"The art of refining the spirit is extremely difficult even for practitioners in our immortal world. Those small spiritual worlds are absolutely unable to cultivate to the highest level."

The figure enveloped by the white light was also shocked, but quickly regained his composure and explained with a smile.

In the seven-color spiritual light, the figure seemed to swear that he would never mention the matter again, as if he had really buried the matter deep in his heart and completely forgotten it.

……

Lin Mo took a deep breath, feeling the wonderful feeling brought by the whole world after his spiritual awareness was doubled, and his heart was filled with joy and excitement.

He finally succeeded in practicing the first level of the soul-refining technique.

Although he has not yet entered the fusion stage, the spiritual power of a cultivator who has achieved great success in the late fusion stage is probably not comparable to his current state.

His divine sense instantly penetrated the secret room and arrived outside the mountain.

However, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The celestial phenomena in the sky had already disappeared, but the outside world was in a state of chaos.

The previous ice and snow gale was so powerful that not only did most of the surrounding flowers, plants and trees disappear, but the remaining ones were also toppled over, looking as if they were struggling to survive.

The upper part of the mountain is bare and looks particularly desolate.

After Lin Mo's spiritual sense lingered in the vicinity for a few circles, it probed into the distance and instantly took in everything within a thousand miles.

Suddenly, his expression changed, his mind stopped for a moment on a mountain at the edge of the sea of ​​fog, and then completely covered the entire mountain.

In a cave at the foot of the mountain, there were faint fluctuations of the spiritual power of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul level.

Although there were multiple restrictions set up outside this cave, in front of Lin Mo's powerful divine sense, these restrictions were undoubtedly as fragile as thin paper.

A divine thought gathered together and directly penetrated several layers of restrictions, appearing at the place where the sensed breath was.
