Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Qing Yuanzi looked calm, looked at Lin Mo calmly, and said slowly:
"Once we return to the cave, I will not keep you any longer. I will immediately close the mountain and concentrate on preparing for the next great calamity."

"Only when Yao'er's magic power advances to the fusion realm can she help me overcome the tribulation, so I want to take her with me to retreat."

"I have already prepared all the elixirs she needs to break through the bottleneck. Unless she succeeds in advancing to the fusion stage, I will not let her out easily."

"Little friend Lin, do you understand what I mean?"

After Lin Mo heard Qing Yuanzi's words, his expression changed slightly. He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly, bowed respectfully to Qing Yuanzi, and said:

"Of course I understand what you mean. Please say goodbye to Miss Yuanyao and Miss Yuanyao on my behalf."

"I will not return to your cave, I will leave this world right now."

There was a hint of helplessness and determination in his words. It was obvious that although he was reluctant, he also understood that he had to make such a decision at this moment.

"Hehe, Lin, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's really not beneficial for Yao'er to have more contact with you at this juncture."

"If we spend a little longer together, it will be difficult for her to overcome the inner demons when she advances. I have to take precautions."

Seeing that Lin Mo agreed immediately, Qing Yuanzi's expression eased a lot. He explained a little bit, and a barely perceptible apology flashed in his eyes.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. I have no other thoughts about Miss Yuan Yao. I just regard her as a confidante."

Lin Mo smiled bitterly, his heart full of bitterness.

He really didn't know how to express his feelings clearly. This kind of emotion is complicated, how can it be explained in a few words?

"My friend considers Yao'er as his confidante, but this adopted daughter of mine may not think the same way."

Qing Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, his eyes seemed to see through everything, making Lin Mo even more embarrassed.

"I don't know how to explain this to you, and I don't think you want to hear my explanation."

"No matter what, I was able to successfully obtain the Styx Spirit Milk this time thanks to your strong support. I will remember this favor in my heart."

"I will not stay here any longer. I hope that when we meet again next time, you will have successfully passed the calamity."

Lin Mo obviously didn't want to dwell on the matter any further, so he bowed quickly and said goodbye with a sincere and firm attitude.

"Well, then Jiang also wishes you a chance to advance to the Mahayana stage!"

Qing Yuanzi's expression also became somewhat solemn. He also bowed to Lin Mo, his eyes full of expectation. After all, Lin Mo had extraordinary potential and might really achieve great success in the future.

Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded, and a flash of light appeared on his body, and he instantly turned into a green rainbow.

He rushed towards the distance, and his destination was the space crack where he left last time.

Thinking back to the beginning, his cultivation was still shallow and he still needed Qing Yuanzi's help to leave the crack.

But now he has advanced to the middle stage of fusion. Relying on his own strength, he can easily break through the crack and leave in style.

Qing Yuanzi stood high in the air with his clothes fluttering, motionless, his eyes fixed on the direction where Lin Mo left.

It was not until the green light completely disappeared at the end of the sky that he let out a sigh that was almost inaudible, and thought to himself:

"This kid is advancing so fast, and this time he got so much Styx Milk, I think it will be no problem for him to advance to the late stage of fusion."

"But if you want to advance to the Mahayana stage, it should be impossible without some opportunities."

"But he is also a freak. He has a lot of treasures and secrets. It is possible that he will advance to the Mahayana stage."

"This time, I have done my best to help him. If he can really become a Mahayana cultivator in the future, maybe there will be a time when I can use him again."

After muttering these words to himself, Qing Yuanzi retracted his gaze, and also shot towards his own cave with the escape light, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Half a day later, a violent space fluctuation suddenly occurred in the sky above an unnamed mountain in the Styx. The fluctuation was like an invisible ripple, spreading in all directions.

Then, the gray fog dissipated, and a huge black crack appeared out of nowhere. The crack was like the mouth of a giant beast, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

Then, accompanied by a thunderous sound, a beam of five-colored light shot out from the top of the mountain.

The beam of light was bright and dazzling. It flashed for a moment and then quickly sank into the crack, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Subsequently, the spatial fluctuations began to gradually weaken, and the huge crack slowly healed as before.

Everything around returned to calm, as if the magical and shocking scene before was just an illusory dream.

……

Time flies like a white horse, and it is gone in a flash. More than three hundred years have passed in a flash.

For the vast spiritual world, this amount of time may be just a blink of an eye in its long history and seems insignificant.

But for ordinary mortals, that is a long and unattainable period of time, and it is the length of life they can never even hope for.

And for those monks who can fly and possess great supernatural powers, such a long period of time is also a precious time that cannot be ignored.

During these three hundred years, the sects and families made full use of this time.

By carefully nurturing clan members and disciples, several generations have been initially nurtured, and the strength of the family and the sect is also quietly changing.

However, for the entire human race, these three hundred years are enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.

Hundreds of years later, groups of soldiers can be seen everywhere in the three realms of the human race. They are dressed in armor, look majestic, patrolling various areas and guarding the peace of the human race.

There are also huge fortress-like cities rising from the ground. These cities are large in scale and solid in architecture, exuding a majestic and imposing aura.

With these giant cities as the center, magical arrays and restrictions of various styles are like spider webs, densely spread everywhere.

The city was surrounded layer by layer, and the defense was as solid as a rock. Even a powerful enemy would despair after seeing such a scene and would not dare to attack easily.

Those were the common ones for ordinary cities hundreds of years ago.

The rarely seen Jindan and Yuanying level cultivators now began to appear frequently in front of mortals, no longer as mysterious and elusive as before. Some mortals with good luck could even occasionally see the Shenhua level cultivators. Such powerful existences made mortals both awed and envious.

As for the number of mortal body cultivators, after the crazy expansion of major forces in recent years, it has increased more than ten times and the number is extremely impressive.

Moreover, they are all equipped with far more sophisticated weapons than before, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Other mortals who are unable to even practice body-refining techniques are also not idle. The major forces will specially organize a large number of young and middle-aged people.

Let them practice some mortal martial arts to strengthen their bodies and have some self-protection power in this turbulent situation.

And all of this is done voluntarily by almost all ordinary people.

Because by this time, the news that the next demonic catastrophe was coming was already known to everyone, even a three-year-old child knew it clearly.

Everyone is filled with fear of the demonic calamity, so they are so actively preparing countermeasures.

More than a hundred years ago, Holy Island messengers appeared in each of the major cities.

With solemn expressions, they directly announced the accurate prediction that the demonic calamity would come within two hundred years.

It was also emphasized that this time the demonic calamity was coming with great force, and the harm it caused was far greater than any previous ones. If we were not careful, the entire human race might really be destroyed.

As a result, the entire human race, whether they were cultivators or mortals, were terrified and frantically prepared all means of response at a speed several times faster than before.

In a short time, all kinds of materials and elixirs in the major markets were quickly swept away by people, leaving only some empty shelves, which looked quite deserted.

Only in the medicine gardens owned by the major sects and families, there are still some spiritual medicines being grown, but these spiritual medicines are different from the rare spiritual medicines grown before.

Most of them have been replaced with the most commonly used spiritual herbs and flowers which have a short maturity period. After all, these resources which can be used quickly are urgently needed at the moment.

As for some of the things that the major forces had previously covered up and tried their best to conceal, at this critical moment of life and death, they seemed to be erupting.

They have emerged one after another, no longer hiding themselves, and everyone thinks that the more power they have to fight against the evil calamity, the more protection they will have.

Some forces even began to frequently exchange the secret techniques and skills they needed, and no longer kept them to themselves.

They all wanted to raise their strength to a greater level within a short period of time in order to cope with the upcoming demonic calamity. The entire spiritual world was filled with an unprecedented atmosphere of unity and tension.

Of course, the largest forces among the human race are naturally Tianyuan City and the three imperial cities.

The former gathers the elites of both the human and demon races, and has ten combined monks in charge. It is very powerful and basically as stable as Mount Tai, which brings a great sense of security to the human race.

The latter gathers high-level cultivators from the three realms and is guarded by the Three Emperors themselves. In the minds of ordinary people, it is also an unbreakable existence, as if it is a solid barrier protecting the human race.

The slightly inferior forces are naturally the ten major sects and three true spirit families among the human race.

They also have considerable attraction, attracting many mortals and independent cultivators to gather there quickly in just a few hundred years.

The population increased more than tenfold, almost reaching the limit they could accept. The scene was quite spectacular.

Not only did the human race have the determination to fight to the death in the face of this demonic calamity, but the demon race and several other nearby alien races also mobilized their entire races.

During these three hundred years, each race has frequently sent out messengers to pass on important information related to the demonic calamity to each other.

Everyone was fully alert and prepared to face this calamity. After all, once the calamity came, it would be a matter of life and death for the entire tribe.

In such a situation where everyone is mobilized as a soldier, there is a different scene in a mountain range not far from Tianyuan City.

About three or four hundred monks gathered at the top of a mountain, each of them looking focused.

He was listening attentively to a woman in white sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, as she was describing some extremely profound martial arts technique.

The woman looked young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful and refined face, like a fairy from heaven who was not affected by the worldly affairs.

Her body was wrapped in layers of milky white lotus shadows, which were dreamy and exuded a mysterious aura.

There is also a dark blue lotus-shaped mark embedded between her eyebrows, which makes her look otherworldly and elegant, making people unable to help but admire her at first sight.

Although there were both male and female monks, young and old, who came to listen to the sermon, most of them were dressed in Taoist attire and were obviously from a Taoist sect.

The other small half were all wearing blue robes and carrying swords, and they seemed to belong to the same sect. They looked quite uniform.

However, the cultivation base of these people was obviously not very high, and only a few of them had reached the Jindan stage.

Most people are still at the foundation-building stage and need to continue practicing and improving.

"Okay, today's lecture ends here. The next lecture will be held in three months, and your uncle will personally explain the Five Elements to you. You can leave now."

After a full hour, the beautiful woman finally finished her explanation of the magic formula. She looked calm, and her tone was gentle but revealed an unquestionable majesty as she ordered them to leave.

"I will follow Master's orders!"

Upon hearing this, hundreds of monks became solemn and bowed to the woman together. Their movements were uniform and quite respectful.

Then they respectfully activated their magic instruments or directly controlled their magic weapons and left in an orderly manner. For a moment, the sky was filled with flashing lights, which was a very beautiful sight.

The woman in white looked at the people going away, her eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she said lightly to a big tree on the side:
"Brother Hai, these disciples are obviously the disciples accepted by you and Brother Qi Lingzi, but you have to capture the junior sisters to teach for you. Don't you think it's too much?"

Although there was a hint of anger in his words, they were also intimate and it was obvious that they had a very close relationship.

"I never thought of accepting any disciples at the beginning. It was only because I was fooled by my senior brother that I accepted so many troublesome people."

"Besides, if Junior Sister can preach the Dharma with the Divine Guidance, she is a hundred times more powerful than Senior Brother and I."

"Otherwise, these disciples wouldn't have made such amazing progress in just a few hundred years. There are already several Lianjiedan monks."

There was a flash of white light under the big tree, and a handsome man in a blue robe appeared there.

He smiled playfully and tried to defend himself, his eyes full of cunning, as if he had suffered a great injustice. (End of this chapter)
