Tianfan Sect, from the outside, really seemed to have nothing besides the two mountain peaks. However, after Mo Wuji entered the Tianfan Sect, he still felt the extraordinary nature of this sect in the past.

Entering the protective formation, a cyan jade staircase, ten feet wide, extended directly to the top of the peak. From the bottom to the top, the mountain peak was dotted with various cave dwellings and pavilions. Mist floated between the two peaks, and if there were other mountains behind them, this would definitely be a sect exuding the aura of a major power.

The only thing that felt somewhat discordant was that the cyan jade steps were a little dilapidated. Moreover, the spiritual energy here seemed extremely scarce, even less than that of some ordinary cultivation cities.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a truly large square, with a tall statue standing in the center. The statue was also somewhat dilapidated, seemingly having experienced endless vicissitudes.

"Mo Wuji, the eyes of this statue really look a bit like yours," Yin Lin suddenly said.

Mo Wuji had already noticed the eyes of the statue, and they did indeed resemble his eyes somewhat.

Before Mo Wuji could speak, a middle-aged man in gray robes had already descended rapidly from the cyan jade steps with four others.

Mo Wuji couldn't discern the middle-aged man's cultivation level, but he could sense that the middle-aged man's strength was very strong, even stronger than Xi Jing's.

"Wei Jie (Su Xia) greets the Sect Leader!" Wei Jie and Su Xia, the elders at the front, quickly bowed and paid their respects when they saw the middle-aged man coming down.

Mo Wuji and the others were startled. The Sect Leader of a sect came out to welcome them, these few new disciples? This seemed unprecedented.

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and hurried forward a few steps, helping Wei Jie up. "Elder Wei Jie and Su Xia, you have worked hard this time in recruiting disciples."

Wei Jie said with a face full of shame, "I have failed to live up to the Sect Leader's expectations; I could only find six disciples."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Elder Wei Jie, compared to the previous times when our Tianfan Sect couldn't recruit even a single disciple, this is much better."

"This is the Sect Leader of our Tianfan Sect; quickly come forward and greet him," Wei Jie turned around and shouted loudly at Mo Wuji and the others.

Mo Wuji followed the other disciples and bowed to pay their respects.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smiling face, "My name is Shi Su, and I am the Sect Leader of Tianfan Sect. Beside me are Elder Pang Fengban, Elder Xu Yi, Elder Hui Yu, and Elder Niu Zhitian of the Tianfan Sect. From now on, everyone is family. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask any of us."

"Thank you, Sect Leader," Mo Wuji and the others didn't understand what was going on in their hearts but could only thank him in unison.

A few disciples who had just joined the sect were not only greeted personally by the Sect Leader and elders, but they also said that if they had any questions in the future, they could ask any of them. This was simply the treatment of the sect's top disciple.

"Su Xia, please take the trouble to arrange accommodation for the new disciples and then explain some of the sect's affairs. Elder Wei Jie, you have worked hard this time; go to the sect's cultivation holy land to cultivate for half a year," Shi Su always had a smile on his face, seeming to be in a good mood after recruiting six disciples.

"I really have to thank the Sect Leader for this," Wei Jie grinned and quickly rushed up the cyan jade steps, even disappearing before the Sect Leader.

Mo Wuji was somewhat speechless. This Sect Leader didn't act like a Sect Leader, and the elders didn't act like elders, making him suspect that he had been kidnapped.

Could it be that the guys here were like Zhu Yin from Duanmen, who liked to devour cultivators' primordial spirits and souls for cultivation? But they were disciples that other sects didn't want, so even if their primordial spirits were devoured, they wouldn't be of much use.

After Sect Leader Shi Su left with the elders, Mo Wuji asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister Su Xia, how many people are there in our sect?"

Since they came in, apart from seeing the Sect Leader actively coming to greet them with a few elders, they hadn't seen anyone else.

"Including you few who just joined, it should be close to a hundred people," Su Xia replied with a smile.

Mo Wuji and the others immediately lost interest in speaking. A sect with less than a hundred people, how shabby could this sect be?

Su Xia also knew everyone's mood and stopped talking. In fact, when she entered the Tianfan Sect, her mood was even worse than Mo Wuji's. At that time, the Tianfan Sect didn't even have fifty people, but it had increased by dozens in the past few years. According to what had been said in the past, the Tianfan Sect was developing rapidly.

"Sister Su Xia, the Tianfan Sect looks very imposing, and it must have been a major sect in the past. Why has it fallen to this state today?" Yin Lin broke the silence.

Su Xia explained, "It's said that the Tianfan Sect was once one of the top major sects, even larger than the Tianji Divine Sect and the Wangchuan Dao. I don't know what caused a catastrophe to occur, in which the Tianfan Sect suffered heavy losses and was almost completely wiped out. Many of the Tianfan Sect's dao peaks were moved away by others during that catastrophe.

Fortunately, Grandmaster Pang Jie survived. Grandmaster Pang Jie was just an outer disciple, but he was very capable. He single-handedly prevented the Tianfan Sect from being completely destroyed. Our current Sect Leader is Grandmaster Pang Jie's personal disciple. Elder Pang Fengban is also a descendant of Grandmaster Pang Jie. Also, the reason why the spiritual energy here is scarce and no one wants to come to this place is because the spiritual veins here were extracted after the great battle."

No matter how impressive Su Xia said the Tianfan Sect used to be, the current Tianfan Sect could only be described as dilapidated.

What made Mo Wuji and the others feel slightly better was that the cave dwellings they were assigned to, although not luxurious, were very grand.

Although Mo Wuji was just an inner disciple, after truly entering the sect, everyone discovered that the treatment was the same for both inner disciples and personal disciples.

Mo Wuji not only received a fully equipped cave dwelling, but also a medicinal field.

As for the most important places for a sect, such as the Scripture Pavilion, the Mission Hall, and the Transmission Hall, none of them existed in the Tianfan Sect.

Whether you were a personal disciple or an inner disciple, you didn't need to do any missions, and of course, there were no elixirs or cultivation techniques to receive.

The Tianfan Sect seemed to have only one purpose in recruiting Mo Wuji and these few disciples: to increase the popularity of the Tianfan Sect.

Mo Wuji asked, and it turned out that the Tianfan Sect didn't restrict leaving. In other words, they could leave the Tianfan Sect at any time, as long as they didn't withdraw from the sect. This reassured Mo Wuji a lot.

Because the Tianfan Sect lacked spiritual energy, Yin Lin and the others came to find him as soon as Mo Wuji moved in, asking him if he wanted to leave the sect to find cultivation resources.

The accommodation in the Tianfan Sect was indeed generous and high-end, but they came here to cultivate, not to live here. Since they couldn't cultivate here, going out to find cultivation resources was a must.

Mo Wuji rejected Yin Lin and the others' proposal. He still had some immortal spiritual veins and green crystals on him. He decided to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Perfection stage before trying to break through to the God Nourishing Realm. He didn't plan to leave here until he broke through to the God Nourishing Realm. This was the God Domain, and the laws of heaven and earth were much higher than in the Immortal Realm. Mo Wuji believed that even if his cultivation resources were limited, he should be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor Perfection stage in a short period of time.

The biggest advantage of the Tianfan Sect was freedom. Mo Wuji set up a few defensive formations and concealment formations in his residence, preparing to cultivate in seclusion. The Immortal Mortal Technique he cultivated involved the simultaneous circulation of a hundred and eight meridians, which would cause great fluctuations even if the spiritual energy here was weak. He didn't want the secret of his cultivation to be known by others, so he set up the formations.

As for the spiritual gathering formation, he didn't set it up. The spiritual energy here was already weak, and in Mo Wuji's opinion, setting up or not setting up a spiritual gathering formation wouldn't make any difference.

Mo Wuji didn't take out immortal crystals and immortal spiritual veins at the beginning. He originally planned to cultivate for a while to see how weak the spiritual energy here really was.

When Mo Wuji's hundred and eight meridians reversed simultaneously to form a cycle, he was almost stunned.

Terrifying spiritual energy seemed to be generated out of thin air, frantically pouring into his meridians and completely merging with his hundred and eight minor cycles. The speed of cultivation was more than ten times stronger than at the Thunder Sword Manor.

Mo Wuji was so frightened that he quickly stopped cultivating. This terrifying speed of absorbing spiritual energy was really too unbelievable for him.

When he stopped cultivating, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to disappear suddenly, and the spiritual energy of the entire space became weak.

Could it be because of his Immortal Mortal Technique that he could absorb the rich spiritual energy that others couldn't see or touch here?

If that was really the case, then he had found the right place, Mo Wuji became excited.

Fortunately, he was also the Sect Leader of a sect and had seen the world. After he completely calmed down, he began to set up protective formations again. He set up several spirit concealing formations because he was worried that the power of his absorption of spiritual energy would be too fierce, and he would be discovered as soon as he cultivated.

Mo Wuji was much more careful the second time he started cultivating, but even with Mo Wuji's caution, he still quickly fell into a state of self-forgetfulness in this environment.

……

It had already been the seventh month of Mo Wuji's seclusion. In the main hall of the Tianfan Sect, Sect Leader Shi Su, whom Mo Wuji and the other disciples had only seen once when they entered the sect, was sitting here again. Besides the four elders who had followed him last time, there were also Wei Jie, Su Xia, and a few sect disciples whom Mo Wuji and the others had never seen before.

"Everyone is in seclusion, and I have invited you here because there are some things that our Tianfan Sect cannot avoid," Shi Su said with a somewhat weak tone.

"Sect Leader, just say it. Although our Tianfan Sect has fallen, as long as there is still one person left in our Tianfan Sect, the Tianfan Sect will not be destroyed," Wei Jie almost patted his chest loudly.

Shi Su nodded and asked, "Su Xia, how are the six disciples who joined our Tianfan Sect last time doing?"

Su Xia quickly stood up and said, "Yin Lin and Zhai Butong have just returned to the sect, and they heard that Pu Jia had an accident. Mo Wuji has been in seclusion ever since he entered the sect. Ku Cai hasn't been in seclusion; she's a bit withdrawn and doesn't seem to know what she should do."
