Chapter 546: The Origin of the Celestial Mystery Staff
Mo Wuji turned back and said, "Because I was originally the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, but the Heavenly Secrets Sect I was in was in the Realm of Cultivation. After entering the Immortal Realm, I didn't hear any news about the Heavenly Secrets Sect. I always thought that the Heavenly Secrets Sect hadn't been established in the Immortal Realm, so I was preparing to rebuild the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the name of the Sect Leader.
After hearing what you said about the Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader being so morally depraved, I no longer have this thought. Even if I were to rebuild a sect, I would establish a different sect. I might even change the name of this Pill Pavilion."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Su Rou'er and the others were stunned. Immediately, Su Rou'er knelt on the ground and said, "Su Rou'er requests Senior to rebuild the Heavenly Secrets Sect."
Bian Huiyu and Yi Lan saw Su Rou'er kneel, and they followed suit.
Mo Wuji looked at Su Rou'er in confusion and asked, "Su Rou'er, I saved your life before, and you didn't kneel. Why are you planning to leave the Heavenly Secrets Sect yourself, yet you still request me to establish the Heavenly Secrets Sect?"
Su Rou'er said with a sob, "Because the Heavenly Secrets Sect wasn't like this before. Among all the sects in the Immortal Realm, there is only one sect that wasn't established by humans, but existed since the beginning of time. That sect is our Heavenly Secrets Sect."
"What do you mean?" Mo Wuji asked.
Su Rou'er slightly adjusted her emotions and said, "Legend has it that when the first Sect Leader of our Heavenly Secrets Sect, Yuan Yi, saw the Heavenly Secrets Sect, it was a natural sect stone tablet. At that time, Sect Leader Yuan Yi discovered that this stone tablet was actually a Primordial Treasure. There were only two words on the stone tablet: Heavenly Secrets.
Later, Sect Leader Yuan Yi forcibly tried to refine this Primordial Stone Tablet, but gained nothing. In a fit of anger, he directly punched the stone tablet. Unexpectedly, he couldn't refine the stone tablet, but it was shattered by a punch. After the stone tablet was shattered, it actually formed five items."
"Which five items? Right, you sit down first, and you two as well, sit down." After asking, Mo Wuji beckoned for the three to sit down and talk slowly.
Su Rou'er sat down and continued, "They are a long sword called the Heavenly Secrets Sword, a staff made of unknown material called the Heavenly Secrets Staff, and two tokens, one white and one black. Besides that, the inscription with the words Heavenly Secrets is still there. Sect Leader Yuan Yi discovered that the two tokens, one white and one black, contained a map, but the map was blurry and couldn't be seen clearly at all."
Mo Wuji suddenly thought of his Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader Token. Didn't the white token have a map in it? He had looked at it for a long time but couldn't see it clearly. Could it be that the token was what Yuan Yi had obtained and then lost to the Realm of Cultivation? Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Secrets Staff be on him?
"Sect Leader Yuan Yi vaguely felt that the things in the map were not simple. He secluded himself to study it for thousands of years, and finally came to a conclusion: that one must make sacrifices to gain rewards. If he wanted to see the things on the token clearly, he had to establish the Heavenly Secrets Sect. As a result, he established the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Immortal Realm, but after the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Immortal Realm was completed, the map on the token was still blurry. Sect Leader Yuan Yi didn't think his judgment was wrong. He passed the position of Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Immortal Realm to his disciple, and then prepared to cultivate an avatar to enter the Realm of Cultivation and establish the Heavenly Secrets Sect's orthodoxy as well..."
Speaking of this, Su Rou'er looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Senior comes from the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Realm of Cultivation, so Sect Leader Yuan Yi should have cultivated an avatar and completed the establishment of the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Realm of Cultivation."
Mo Wuji quickly asked, "If that's the case, did Sect Leader Yuan Yi find the location of that map?"
Su Rou'er shook her head, "At that time, he took away a white token and the Heavenly Secrets Sword, Heavenly Secrets Staff. He left a black token in the Immortal Realm. This black token is now the Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader Token, and has been passed down to this day. Tens of thousands of years after Sect Leader Yuan Yi left, he sent back a message, Yuan Yi said he was about to die, and pointed out that the Heavenly Secrets Sword and Heavenly Secrets Staff were the keys to opening the map. From then on, there was no more news of Sect Leader Yuan Yi, nor was there any news of the Heavenly Secrets Staff and Heavenly Secrets Sword."
Mo Wuji knew that the Heavenly Secrets Staff and the white token were in his hands, and the Heavenly Secrets Sword was in Lei Hongji's hands.
"You said earlier that the Heavenly Secrets Sect wasn't like this before, so tell me what's going on with the current Sect Leader." Mo Wuji became interested in the blurry map in the token, and he also felt that the map was not simple. After entering the Immortal Realm to cultivate, he was even more aware of the importance of opportunities.
Su Rou'er took a breath and continued, "The current Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader is called Yuan Gu. My master was killed by him. This person is not worthy of being the Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader at all. His position as Sect Leader was obtained by plotting against the previous Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader, Yan Gechen."
"Tell me in detail." Mo Wuji's expression became serious. He was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Realm of Cultivation. If the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Immortal Realm was plotted against and the position of Sect Leader was taken by someone else, he would not be polite.
"Sect Leader Yan Gechen was forthright and friendly. However, he had several Dao companions, one of whom was called Yuan Feilu. Yuan Gu was Yuan Feilu's nephew, and he was brought to the Heavenly Secrets Sect by Yuan Feilu. My master told me that although Sect Leader Yan was very good, he didn't know how to manage the sect, making the sect seem very disorganized. Yuan Feilu's nephew, Yuan Gu, was naturally talented and his cultivation improved rapidly. Finally, because of Yuan Feilu's relationship, he could even enter and leave the most secret places of the sect.
As Yuan Gu's power grew, his desires continued to expand, and he quietly used excuses to destroy all the upright elders in the Heavenly Secrets Sect who were hindering him, or secretly plotted against them. In the end, more than 90% of the Heavenly Secrets Sect were his people. Once, when the Heavenly Secrets Sect was recruiting disciples, they received a very talented and beautiful woman. Yuan Gu took a fancy to her, but that woman had strong principles and directly rejected Yuan Gu. In a fit of anger, Yuan Gu extracted the woman's soul and refined it.
Unexpectedly, this matter was seen by Sect Leader Yan, who was furious and immediately wanted to kill Yuan Gu. But Yuan Gu's wings had long since hardened, and he, along with several elders, instead surrounded and killed Sect Leader Yan. After Sect Leader Yan died, Yuan Gu became the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect. If my master hadn't received the favor of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, he wouldn't have wanted to stay in the Heavenly Secrets Sect for a long time. Unexpectedly, in the end, my master still died in Yuan Gu's hands."
Su Rou'er finished speaking in one breath, her voice a little choked up because of her missing master.
"No wonder he wants to protect that Yu Ao, so they are birds of a feather." Mo Wuji sneered.
Originally, Mo Wuji was disappointed in the Heavenly Secrets Sect, but after hearing Su Rou'er's words, he once again had the idea of rebuilding the Heavenly Secrets Sect. If the first Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect's guess was true, then he was perfectly qualified.
The Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Realm of Cultivation was completely destroyed, and he was the one who rebuilt it in the end. If he rebuilt the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the Immortal Realm again, would he be able to meet the prerequisite for opening the map as mentioned by Sect Leader Yuan Yi?
"That's why I request Senior to rebuild the Heavenly Secrets Sect and not let the Heavenly Secrets Sect fall into the hands of people like Yuan Gu." Su Rou'er's tone was full of anticipation, even with a hint of pleading.
Mo Wuji nodded, "The three of you stay in the Heavenly Secrets Pill Pavilion for now. No one dares to touch my Pill Pavilion here. I have urgent matters to attend to and will be gone for about two or three years. When I come back, I will find a place to rebuild the Heavenly Secrets Sect."
Hearing Mo Wuji agree to rebuild the Heavenly Secrets Sect, Su Rou'er and the others were even more excited beyond words.
…
Two days later, Mo Wuji refined a large batch of low-level pills, handed the pill shop over to Dou Hualong, and left Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins with Ling Gu.
Most of the teleportation arrays in Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins lead to the Shattered Realm, so Mo Wuji and Ling Gu had to take a flying ship to the territory of the Yongying Immortal Domain first, before they could take a teleportation array to Yongying Immortal City in the Yongying Immortal Domain.
As soon as Mo Wuji entered the flying ship, he placed a restriction on it and handed the flying ship over to Ling Gu to control. He wasn't cultivating, nor was he refining pills. With his pill refining level, he didn't need to cram at the last minute. He was going to refine those two pages of the Book of Luo. Even if he couldn't refine both pages, refining one page would be good.
In Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, he was an Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, and those with stronger cultivation than him didn't dare to touch him. Fu Zhensong, whose cultivation was higher than his, had to bow to him.
Once he left Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, no one would recognize him, Mo Wuji, in the remote places outside. If he had a conflict with a Great Unity Immortal expert like Fu Zhensong, it was estimated that the other party would immediately attack him.
Mo Wuji had personally experienced the power of the Book of Luo. Now that he had plenty of time and two pages of the Book of Luo in his hand, he would be a fool not to refine the Book of Luo.
He knew that refining the Book of Luo was difficult, but when he really started refining it, Mo Wuji realized how difficult it was. A month passed, and he had just barely grasped the clues.
Half a year passed, and Mo Wuji estimated that he had only refined one-tenth of one page. At this time, a message came from Ling Gu on the communication bead, saying that they had arrived at Yangyan Immortal City, a border city of the Yongying Immortal Domain.
Mo Wuji could only put away the two pages of the Book of Luo, sighing in his heart that with his current cultivation, it would take at least nearly ten years to refine one page of the Book of Luo. This was on the condition that no problems arose. If any problems arose, this time would be extended indefinitely.
However, because he had refined one-tenth of one page of the Book of Luo, Mo Wuji was even more aware of the value of the Book of Luo. He had refined very little, so he didn't know what the offensive effects of his two pages of the Book of Luo were, but one thing was certain: the defensive effect of the Book of Luo was definitely countless times stronger than his anvil.
Seeing Mo Wuji come out, Ling Gu put away the Immortal Artifact and asked, "Big Brother Mo, there is a direct teleportation array to Yongying Immortal City here. Should we inquire about some news in Yangyan Immortal City, or go directly to Yongying Immortal City?"
Mo Wuji said without hesitation, "Of course, we should go to Yongying Immortal City first. There are only a few months left before the Pill Dao Grand Competition in Yongying Immortal Domain, and I still don't know how to participate in the competition."
"Okay, then we'll go to the teleportation array immediately and teleport to Yongying Immortal City." Ling Gu said immediately.
In her opinion, as long as Mo Wuji was a cultivator from the Yongying Immortal Domain, it would be too easy to participate in the Pill Dao Grand Competition in the Yongying Immortal Domain.
