Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 716

One day later, a green light suddenly rose into the sky from the mountains where the Xu family lived. After hovering for a while, Lin Mo's figure appeared in the sky.

He looked back deeply, cast a faint glance at the magnificent mountains below, and then took off into the air again with the help of the quickly flashing light.

After just a few gentle shakes, the cold light disappeared at the end of the distant sky.

During this period, Lin Mo always stayed in the Tianyuan territory. Accompanying him were cities of various sizes and characteristics. He began a wandering journey that lasted for several years.

The famous sects and families around these cities have all left his footprints.

Sometimes Lin Mo would visit directly and have in-depth conversations with some monks with profound cultivation; sometimes he would just watch coldly and then leave quietly.

Although the area he traveled to only accounted for one-tenth to two-tenths of the Tianyuan Realm, in these few short years, he gained a deeper understanding of human society.

In the human world, the number of cultivators in the fusion stage is really insignificant compared to powerful races such as the Jiaochi and Feiling.

Apart from the cultivators in the fusion stage under the command of Tianyuan City and the Three Emperors, the number of powerful fusion masters hiding in other aristocratic sects is as rare as stars in the sky.

As for free-spirited cultivators like Lin Mo, they are even rarer in the entire human society. It is said that the number of demons is slightly higher than that of humans, and the gap is not too significant.

When humans and demons fight together, their overall combat power may be comparable to that of the middle-level races in Fengyuan Continent.

This is mainly due to the fact that the areas where humans and demons live are located in relatively remote areas of Fengyuan Continent, so they have not encountered overly powerful alien threats.

Otherwise, even with the protection of the super magic circle and Tianyuan City, it remains unknown whether the human and demon races can gain a foothold in the spiritual world.

According to Lin Mo's understanding, many alien races that are more powerful than the human and demon races have also disappeared in the long river of history like a flash in the pan.

Therefore, relying on his identity as a monk in the fusion stage, he did not encounter any substantial danger during his long journey.

Instead, by chance, he successfully eliminated several evil monks, and his reputation gradually spread in the Tianyuan Realm.

Many smaller sects and families also knew that a young and promising cultivator in the early stage of fusion with unfathomable magical powers had suddenly emerged in human society.

As time went on, even some top forces in the Xuanwu Realm and Tianling Realm sent envoys to invite him.

However, all of these were firmly rejected by Lin Mo.

Just like that, five years passed by in a flash.
Time flies, and the powerful May experience seems to have just passed.

On this day, at the intersection of Xuanwu Realm and Tianyuan Realm, on the hillside of a lush and green mountain.

Three human monks, each dressed differently and with unique styles, were sitting in a quaint and elegant stone pavilion, talking happily about various topics.

The man sitting in the middle was wearing Confucian scholar's clothes as white as jade, with sharp sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was about thirty years old, and his handsome face looked like a modest gentleman.

The man on his right had a somewhat childish look on his round face. He was wearing a khaki Taoist robe and carrying an old-fashioned, black, and broken wooden sword on his back. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The last person had an ordinary appearance, slightly dark skin, and was wearing a green robe. He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. It was Lin Mo himself.

At this moment, Lin Mo, with a smile on his face, listened with great interest to the Taoist priest's endless words across the table.

"I am not ignorant. As the initiator and mentor of Wuhai Temple, the founding ancestor of Wuhai Sect once served as the leader of Wuhai Sect in the mortal world. At that time, Wuhai Sect was the leader of the human world and was invincible. It suppressed many demon tribes from all directions."

"The founder, Xuan Lingzi, is known as the world's number one immortal cultivator. Now, as his successor, I have the honor to inherit the founder's lineage and hold the scepter of Wuhai Temple."

“If two more like-minded Taoist friends can join our temple, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and a more glorious future is just around the corner.”

"When the three of us have achieved success in our cultivation, the three of us will join forces. Even if we cannot push our temple to the throne of the largest sect of the human race, it will be easy for us to dominate one side."

"Haha, Master Qi Lingzi. Along the way, you have told me and Brother Lin this history more than once. However, please forgive me for being frank. The scale of your temple is too small. I'm afraid it can only be counted as a handful of people."

"Even though the Grandmaster holds an extraordinary status in the human world, in the spiritual world, he is only an ordinary cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Otherwise, how could your temple have declined to its current state?"

The handsome man named Hai Dashao smiled disdainfully. Suddenly, an emerald green folding fan appeared in his hand. He then waved it violently, swaying it leisurely.

"Humph, Master Hai, how much do you know?"

"It's not that there is a problem with my Wuhai Temple's skills, but the Wuhai Wuji method left by the founder has extremely high requirements for the qualifications of the practitioners."

"When our forefather ascended to the spirit world, he unfortunately encountered a rare space storm. Although he managed to escape, he was badly injured. He hastily founded Wuhai Temple, but it died soon after. If our forefather were still alive, it would not be surprising that our Wuhai Temple stands out from the crowd."

The young Taoist blushed and tried his best to defend himself.

"In my opinion, your master is indeed far-sighted."

"With the strength of your temple, if you really occupy a certain spiritual mountain and spiritual vein, I am afraid that until now, it is still unknown whether your temple still exists in the spiritual world. Brother Lin, what do you think?"

The handsome man named Hai Dashao gently closed the folding fan in his hand and turned to ask Lin Mo for his opinion.

"What Brother Hai said is certainly true. However, Fellow Daoist Qi Lingzi's technique is indeed unique and profound, and it must have its own special qualities for the cultivators."

Lin Mo replied with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Lin said so. It shows that the inheritance of my Wuhai Temple is indeed extraordinary. Then, as long as the two of you are willing to join our temple, I will immediately teach you the Wuhai Wuji Dharma."

Hearing Lin Mo's answer, the young Taoist's eyes lit up and he said with anticipation.

Hearing this, Young Master Hai couldn't help but roll his eyes and responded unhappily:
"I am practicing the purest body-building technique, and I am gifted in this area. I have already practiced the Vajra Sutra to the third level. On the other hand, the master of your temple is still at the initial stage of foundation building. Even I may not be able to beat him. What can you teach me?"

"If I want to learn from a master, I will definitely choose those truly famous sects. As for Brother Lin, your remarks just now seemed a little vague. What do you mean by 'somewhat reasonable'?"

"In fact, what I just said is absolutely correct. The reason why Senior Xuan Lingzi built Wuhai Temple in such a remote mountain valley was probably out of consideration for protecting his own heritage."

The more Young Master Hai spoke, the more smug he became.

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and in the end he could only smile bitterly and not make any more comments.

The two people he saw before him were a pair of real funny people. He had met them by chance about a month ago near a small town ahead.

At that time, they happened to anger a small local sect and were hunted down by several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Such incidents are naturally very common between the two major races, humans and monsters.

Lin Mo was passing through the sky at the time and had no intention of intervening in the matter.

However, when he inadvertently swept his spiritual sense over, he unexpectedly discovered that one of the two people being besieged had an outstanding spiritual root.

However, he chose to practice the mortal body-building techniques, and at the young age of twenty, he had already practiced the Vajra Sutra to the third level.

As for the other person, his spiritual roots were mediocre, but the technique he practiced was extremely unique, and he was able to fight against several people of the same level of cultivation with his own strength.

These two young men joined forces and managed to maintain their undefeated momentum even when they were besieged by five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Mo was quite curious, and with a thought, he hid his aura to the peak level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

With his magical powers, even if he was in the same foundation-building stage as the cultivators himself, he could easily scare those cultivators there and make them flee in panic.

The rescued Master Hai and Qi Lingzi were naturally grateful to Lin Mo. After several conversations, they even proposed to become sworn brothers with Lin Mo.

At that time, Lin Mo's expression was unusually exciting. In order to avoid embarrassment, he immediately found an excuse and politely declined.

However, when they learned that Lin Mo also planned to go to Xuanwu Realm to participate in the Wanbao Conference, the two young men were ecstatic and enthusiastically expressed that they must go together.

It turned out that these two people were also interested in participating in this grand event involving both humans and demons.

When Lin Mo heard the news, he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Conference is such a grand event that it may even attract cultivators in the fusion stage of the two major races of humans and demons, and even top beings such as the Three Emperors and Seven Demon Kings to come in person.

The strength of these two young men is only at the foundation-building stage, yet they dare to cross borders to participate in such a grand event.

Admittedly, the Wanbao Conference does not completely prohibit the attendance of cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage, but these young cultivators usually play roles such as attendants, maids, or disciples of sects.

Even if there were occasional Foundation Establishment cultivators who came alone, most of them only got the opportunity to visit the conference because they lived in the vicinity of the Wanbao Conference venue.

And this Young Master Hai and the young Taoist priest, one carrying a few jars of spiritual tea and the other carrying a few pieces of minerals of unknown origin, actually planned to cross the realm to participate in this event.

It's really ridiculous.

However, it must be admitted that the spiritual tea brought by that spirit child was of excellent quality and could barely be called top grade.

As for those ores, although they did not seem to have much value, even he himself could not tell their exact source.

Lin Mo was indeed quite interested in the current situation of these two young people. He also thought that there was still some time before the Wanbao Conference and there was no need to rush or slow down. Therefore, he agreed to their request calmly.

Since he was young, he had been carefully trained to be a practitioner of body-refining techniques.

However, when he grew up and showed amazing talent for body training, it happened by chance.

He unexpectedly discovered his spiritual roots. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, shocking him greatly.

Like most people, this Young Master Hai resolutely gave up the way of physical training and decided to embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

However, the town where he lived was an ordinary human city, and there was no real spiritual sect for him to learn.

In addition, Young Master Hai, who was already quite proud, also looked down on those ordinary small sects of practitioners.

After careful consideration, Young Master Hai quietly ran away from home, intending to go to other places to seek a better school of practice.

In the process, he met a disciple from Wuhai Temple who was preparing to participate in the Wanbao Conference.

The two had a very pleasant conversation and became close friends. Master Hai finally decided to go with him to the meeting.

According to Qi Lingzi, the Wanbao Conference was filled with "powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm scattered everywhere, while masters in the Nascent Soul Realm were as common as dogs."

As long as you can get close to any cultivator, the benefits will far outweigh those of seeking to join any immortal cultivation sect.

Therefore, the two young men set out on their journey in a daze.

Although they were careful and tried to avoid remote and dangerous places, they still encountered some twists and turns during their journey.

Until they met Lin Mo in a certain town, they accidentally offended a local small immortal cultivation family, which caused a disturbance and they were chased by several practitioners of the same level.

If Lin Mo hadn't come to their aid, they would probably have been in great trouble.

Now, in the eyes of Master Hai and Qi Lingzi, this "Brother Lin" whom they met by chance on the way seemed quite mysterious.

His cultivation is close to the Golden Core Stage, and he possesses many mysterious magical instruments and treasures.

His insights on cultivation, with just a few words, benefited them greatly, even beyond their reach.

At first, Master Hai couldn't help but be extremely surprised when he received Lin Mo's instruction in body training.

It is extremely rare for a cultivator to have such a deep understanding of body refining techniques.

Because of this, Lin Mo's image in their hearts became increasingly unfathomable.

Fortunately, Master Hai and Qi Lingzi are both open-minded and sociable, so even though they know that Lin Mo is no ordinary person, they still call him "Brother Lin" affectionately without any restraint.

It's just that since Lin Mo's cultivation is not outstanding, they might consider becoming his apprentice.

In fact, although the young Taoist priest Qi Lingzi verbally expressed his desire to promote the reputation of Wuhai Temple, his bold words had already revealed his idea of ​​finding another master at the Wanbao Conference.

He did not seem to be too nostalgic for his current position as the "Abbot" of Wuhai Temple.
