Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 239 Leaving the Sect
Xia Mo, as if nothing had happened, once again said with a smile, "The first thing is that the True Morrow Continent will recruit disciples with top-notch aptitudes from the Lost Continent to cultivate in the True Morrow Continent..."
The palace, which had been somewhat gloomy and suppressed, immediately became lively because of these words. Many sect leaders began to whisper to each other and discuss.
"May I ask, Special Envoy Xia, will these recruited disciples be sent to Star Emperor Mountain to cultivate?" Jiang Xiushan, the sect leader of the Great衍 Sect, was the first to stand up, clasping his fists and asking.
Xia Mo sneered inwardly, sent to Star Emperor Mountain? Are you dreaming, or am I? He still said with a smile, "Excellent disciples will be selected here to go to the True Morrow Continent for selection. The outstanding ones will be accepted as disciples by the major sects of the True Morrow Continent. The entry conditions for Star Emperor Mountain are relatively harsh. In addition to excellent aptitude, there must also be a certain contribution to the Star Continent. Except for a very few top-notch geniuses, entering Star Emperor Mountain requires a certain amount of contribution."
Xia Mo's words did not disappoint the many sect leaders, but made them even more expectant. The cultivation civilization of the True Morrow Continent was higher than that of the Lost Continent. Even if they went to other sects, even stepping into the True God Realm would be good.
Jiang Xiushan frowned slightly. He felt that the True Morrow Continent was not as great as Xia Mo said. There must be other reasons for the True Morrow Continent to come to the Lost Continent to recruit talented disciples.
Xia Mo pressed down on the noise in the palace and continued, "Ten days later, a selection of top-notch disciples will be held here. This first batch of top-notch disciples will go to the True Morrow Continent with us. Every few years thereafter, we will come here to select again."
"Special Envoy Xia, some sects are far away from Yin Capital, and I'm afraid they won't be able to make it in time," Feng Zhenqiu quickly stood up and said.
He was seriously injured in the battle of Yin Tomb Beach. The powerhouses of the True Morrow Continent came here, and he still came to greet them with injuries.
Xia Mo said indifferently, "If it's too far away and they can't make it, then it can only be said that their opportunity has not arrived. That's the way it is. Let's talk about the second thing."
Feng Zhenqiu could only sigh inwardly and sat down. Although he was the Second Dean of Asking Heaven Academy, in fact, he was in charge of most of the affairs of Asking Heaven Academy. A person who could say one thing and no one could say another in the Lost Continent had no room to speak in front of a special envoy.
"The second thing is to find a person." After saying that, Xia Mo waved his hand, and a huge, clear portrait of a person appeared in front of everyone. "This person should be a cultivator from the Lost Continent. If anyone knows his whereabouts, they can arrange for one person to directly enter Star Emperor Mountain."
As soon as the portrait came out, at least seven or eight people in the hall showed confusion. Obviously, more than one person in the hall recognized the person in the portrait.
Jiang Xiushan, the sect leader of the Great衍 Sect, stood up again and said, "Special Envoy Xia, many people know this senior."
Hearing this, Xia Mu also stood up excitedly and leaned forward eagerly, asking, "Who is he? Where is he now?"
From the time everyone had known this Special Envoy Xia until now, this was the first time everyone had seen him speak so politely, using the word "please." Even though he had been smiling before, the arrogance in his bones still allowed people to feel that he did not regard others as beings of the same level as him.
"This person is the sect leader of the number one sect in my Lost Continent, the Heaven Sect, named Jing Gumu," Jiang Xiushan, the sect leader of the Great衍 Sect, said without any psychological barrier when calling the Heaven Sect the number one sect.
If someone else were to introduce Jing Gumu, they would at most say the sect leader of the Heaven Sect and would never add the words "number one sect." Although the Great衍 Sect had surpassed Asking Heaven Academy in both the sect contribution list and the Hundred Sects Alliance contribution point list this time, Asking Heaven Academy was still the number one sect in the eyes of many cultivators in the Lost Continent.
Jiang Xiushan was unwilling to admit that Asking Heaven Academy was the number one sect, and the Great衍 Sect could not take the first place, so he felt a little more comfortable in his heart now that he was calling the Heaven Sect the number one sect.
"Where is he?" Xia Mu suppressed his excitement and asked again.
Jiang Xiushan sighed and said, "If Sect Leader Jing were still here, how could those barbarians from outside the territory be so arrogant? Sect Leader Jing disappeared thousands of years ago. It is said that he fell when he was in seclusion trying to break through to the Human Immortal King."
"Is the current sect leader of the Heaven Sect present?" After Xia Mu finished speaking, his gaze swept over the many sect leaders.
At this moment, everyone was clear that Xia Mu was looking for Jing Gumu for something very important.
Jiang Xiushan continued, "After Senior Jing disappeared, the Heaven Sect fell apart and eventually disappeared into the historical river of the Lost Continent."
Xia Mu sat down somewhat dejectedly and did not speak for a long time.
After a full few minutes, Protector Xu took the initiative to say, "Ten days later, a selection of disciples to go to the True Morrow Continent will be held in Yin Capital Plaza. The selection quota is one hundred people. The matter of this selection of disciples to go to the True Morrow Continent will be handed over to the First Dean of Asking Heaven Academy, Bei Suting, and Sect Leader Jiang Xiushan of the Great衍 Sect. I hope that the Lost Continent will have its own powerhouses in the future, and we will not need to cross the Five Elements Desolate Domain to come here. That's all for today, everyone. Sect leaders, go back and prepare for the selection. We'll see you again in ten days."
Xu Chi Huang finished speaking and made a direct decision in a few words, and at the same time, he was the first to stand up.
"Yes!" Bei Suting, Jiang Xiushan, and the many sect leaders all stood up and bowed to Xu Chi Huang.
Everyone could see that Xu Chi Huang was not very satisfied with this Special Envoy Xia. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to stand up and explain everything in a few words while Special Envoy Xia was silent.
Xia Mu also reacted and quickly stood up and said, "We'll do as Protector Xu says. We'll see you again in ten days."
...
Mo Wuji's flying ship was still being controlled by Pu Qian. Pu Qian was the strongest, so he could naturally control the flying ship at the fastest speed. The flying ship spiritual artifact had been refined by Mo Wuji. As long as Mo Wuji allowed it, Pu Qian could control the speed of the flying ship's flight without being much slower than Mo Wuji himself, except that he could not put away the spiritual artifact.
Mo Wuji himself was seizing the time to study the formation path inheritance of the Star Storage Seed. He wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Secret Sect, and the formation path had to be strong. At this moment, he was on the verge of being able to set up intermediate-level formations. As long as he took another step forward, he would be able to set up intermediate-level formations.
The only trouble was that intermediate-level formations also required refining formation flags. Naturally, one could also ask others to refine these formation flags, but it was naturally easier to refine the formation flags for setting up formations oneself.
The speed of this flying ship spiritual artifact was much faster than Mo Wuji's previous flying car. Ten days later, the flying ship had stopped outside Asking Heaven City according to Mo Wuji's request.
"Pu Qian, you and Sang Yiping and the other four go to the Immortal Refinement Wine House in Asking Heaven City to stay and wait for me. I will come over in at most a day or two. Also, when you get to Asking Heaven City, find out about the Nine Moon Pill Pavilion." After Mo Wuji put away the flying ship, he instructed them again before separating from Pu Qian and the others and heading to Asking Heaven Academy alone.
...
Asking Heaven Academy was even more desolate and deserted. Mo Wuji returned to his residence on the outer gate peak. He wanted to see if Chao Buheng was there. If he was, he would leave some pills for Chao Buheng. Speaking of which, Chao Buheng was the only friend he had in the outer gate peak of Asking Heaven Academy besides Zhen Shaoru.
Chao Buheng was not there. Not only was Chao Buheng not there, but Zhen Shaoru was also not there. Mo Wuji did not recognize any of the sparse disciples on the outer gate peak.
Mo Wuji did not immediately go to the Sect Affairs Hall to go through the procedures for leaving the sect, but went to the Pill Tower. As Mo Wuji expected, he still did not see a single familiar face, and the white-bearded old man who fished in front of the Pill Tower was also not there.
Cen Shuyin, Hou Yucheng, Ren Tianxing, and these familiar friends were not here, which made Mo Wuji very melancholy. He could not find anyone to say goodbye to. After leaving here, he would no longer be a disciple of Asking Heaven Academy. Perhaps one day, when the Heavenly Secret Sect grew stronger, it would clash with Asking Heaven Academy.
Since he was rebuilding the Heavenly Secret Sect, Mo Wuji had no intention of letting the Heavenly Secret Sect remain a Profound-Grade Sect forever. Who could be sure that the Heavenly Secret Sect would not become a true Heaven-Grade Sect in the future?
"Senior Brother Mo!" A surprised voice interrupted Mo Wuji's reverie.
"So it's Junior Sister Zuo. Congratulations to Junior Sister Zuo on becoming a Sword Lake disciple," Mo Wuji greeted with a smile.
The person who came was Zuo Shaoying. Mo Wuji had met her at the Asking Heaven Academy's resident in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and he had met her once later. This was a woman who was as refreshing as a spring breeze, but her younger sister, Zuo Shaoyi, made Mo Wuji extremely disgusted. Ju Qijian, who was hooking up with Zuo Shaoyi, was killed by him. He didn't know if Zuo Shaoyi would seek revenge on him.
Without Zuo Shaoyi by her side, Zuo Shaoying seemed particularly cheerful. "I'm just an outer gate disciple. Senior Brother Mo, I thought you went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Many powerhouses of Asking Heaven Academy have gone to the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Senior Sister Cen Shuyin of our Sword Lake and my sister have both gone."
Mo Wuji smiled, "I'm just an outer gate disciple. What's there for me to join in the fun? By the way, I might be leaving Asking Heaven Academy."
"Ah... leaving Asking Heaven Academy?" Zuo Shaoying looked at Mo Wuji in surprise.
"Yes, I'm going to another sect. I'll go to the Sect Affairs Hall to go through the procedures for leaving the sect in a while. I'll say goodbye to you here. I wish you all the best in joining the inner gate of Asking Heaven Academy soon." Mo Wuji smiled, turned around quickly, and left.
Zuo Shaoying stared blankly at Mo Wuji's receding figure, and after a long while, she still did not understand what was going on. So many people were racking their brains to enter Asking Heaven Academy, but Mo Wuji had finally entered Asking Heaven Academy. Why did he want to leave?
Half an incense stick later, Mo Wuji stood at the door of the Sect Affairs Hall. Looking at the huge Asking Heaven Ranking, he suddenly had a strong urge to climb the Asking Heaven Steps once.
The first time, he had stopped at the eighth step of the Asking Heaven Steps in order to hide his strength. Now that he was at the twelfth level of the mortal realm, he wanted to know how many steps of the Asking Heaven Steps he could climb.
...
At the same time, in Yin Capital Grand Plaza, countless cultivators gathered here. Because today was the day to select disciples to go to the True Morrow Continent. Not to mention that Protector Xu's terrifying strength was something to aspire to, the words "True Morrow Continent" alone were enough to drive all the cultivators crazy. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, no one was willing to give up.
