Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 906 Being Valued

Despite Pang Jie's offer to retrieve cultivation resources for him, Mo Wuji did not go. Pang Jie could be considered one of the founding fathers of the Tian Fan Sect in the post-era, and he possessed some valuable items. After the Tian Fan Sect was re-established, he managed to rebuild the Tian Fan Scripture Pavilion.

Mo Wuji neither claimed cultivation resources nor went into seclusion. Instead, he devoted all his time to the scripture pavilion. Since the Tian Fan Scripture Pavilion was newly established, even ordinary disciples could access common cultivation techniques and information without needing sect contribution points, as the contribution system had not yet been set up.

As the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall and a potential future Peak Lord, Mo Wuji naturally had the privilege of browsing the entire scripture pavilion. Having just arrived in the God Domain, Mo Wuji was unfamiliar with many things, and he didn't recognize a single divine herb.

Although this scripture pavilion contained only a portion of what Pang Jie had hidden away after the Tian Fan Sect was breached, it was sufficient for Mo Wuji's needs.

Pang Jie had actually left behind quite a few items. Apart from some top-tier cultivation techniques, he had included notes on the God Domain, ordinary cultivation methods, and introductions to cultivation common sense in the God Domain. Mo Wuji paid particular attention to introductions on formations, runes, divine herbs, and various top-tier materials.

After spending three months reading through almost all the cultivation techniques and introductions in the scripture pavilion, Su Xia informed him that all one hundred and eight divine peaks of the sect had been properly arranged. Furthermore, the ancestral founder had personally set up the sect's grand formation. He was being summoned to choose a divine peak.

The ancestral founder Pang Jie was truly generous to Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji's aptitude was poor, Pang Jie still granted him the greatest privileges, allowing him to freely enter the sect's scripture pavilion and choose any divine peak he desired.

In other words, Mo Wuji could choose any divine peak except the main peak of the Tian Fan Sect. Since the Tian Fan Sect was newly established, many of the one hundred and eight divine peaks were merely for show and not true divine peaks. Allowing Mo Wuji to choose was equivalent to giving him the best divine peak.

On top of that, after the sect's mission hall was established, Mo Wuji's External Affairs Hall Master token was directly credited with one million sect contribution points.

These one million sect contribution points were equivalent to future cultivation resources and could be used to exchange for anything in the sect.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji was secretly grateful for the generosity of the ancestral founder Pang Jie. After studying the scriptures for several months, he had gained a new understanding of cultivation in the God Domain. He was about to incorporate these insights into his Immortal Mortal Technique and modify Ku Cai's cultivation technique as well.

Since the sect was offering him a divine peak at this time, he naturally wouldn't refuse. However, he didn't choose a prime divine peak. Instead, he chose a slightly out-of-the-way peak and named it Mortal Peak, using it as his cultivation grounds.

With the emergence of a God King in the Tian Fan Sect and the large-scale recruitment of disciples, the Tian Fan Sect was no longer the desolate place it had been when Mo Wuji and the others first arrived. The entire sect seemed to be thriving.

...

In the main hall of the Tian Fan Sect, ancestral founder Pang Jie, sect master Shi Su, and all the sect's elders were present.

Because the Tian Fan Sect had just been re-established, there were not many strong individuals within the sect. Besides the only God King, Pang Jie, there wasn't even a single World God. The highest cultivation level below Pang Jie was Shi Su, who was only in the mid-stage of God Monarch. The strongest of the newly recruited disciples were only in the Heavenly God Realm.

Generally, God Domain sects rarely recruit cultivators above the Heavenly God Realm, but the Tian Fan Sect had recruited several Heavenly God Realm cultivators this time because the middle and lower levels of the Tian Fan Sect were too lacking.

After Pang Jie and the others were seated, he slowly said, "Our Tian Fan Sect has experienced unparalleled glory and the lowest of lows, even nearly being destroyed. Fortunately, the fate of our Tian Fan Sect is still intact, allowing me to luckily enter the God King Realm. Over the past few months, our Tian Fan Sect has been established, and disciples have been recruited, which has generally gone smoothly. It is evident that everyone has regarded this place as their home and has wholeheartedly contributed to the sect.

Here, I want to say a few unrelated words. As far as I know, in the endless vast universe, there are countless places like the God Domain. No matter how rich the cultivation resources are in any star field, after countless years, they will gradually become desolate. The God Domain is indeed boundless, but even a boundless place, with endless exploitation, will gradually deplete its cultivation resources. Except for those forbidden areas and places inaccessible to humans."

Pang Jie paused and sighed.

To be honest, when he saw that the Tian Fan Sect still had ninety-nine hidden top-grade divine spiritual veins, he was shocked by such extravagance. Nowadays, even top-tier sects are considered wealthy if they have a single top-grade divine spiritual vein. Most sects only have a few high-grade divine spiritual veins.

For someone like God King Wei Zheng to be able to give away a top-grade and a high-grade divine spiritual vein as gifts is a rare occurrence.

But it is said that in ancient times, which top-tier divine sect didn't have hundreds of divine spiritual veins? Even setting up a sect with thousands of divine spiritual veins was not uncommon.

Pang Jie suddenly raised his voice and said, "What sets our God Domain apart from other star fields is that we have an advantage that other star fields cannot compare with, which is that our God Domain has God Domain Nests that can hatch. Every few years, our God Domain will hatch new areas, and these places contain many unexpected treasures. The reason why God Kings still appear in our God Domain every so often is because this foundation still exists.

This time, the God Domain Nest is about to hatch again, and our Tian Fan Sect is just being re-established. Therefore, we must go this time, and not only must we go, but we must also strive to have more Tian Fan Sect disciples enter the God Domain Nest as early as possible. I will personally lead this trip to the God Domain Nest, and the responsibility for the disciples will be directly handed over to the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, Mo Wuji. Shi Su, has Hall Master Wuji entered his new divine peak?"

Shi Su quickly stood up and said, "Hall Master Wuji has chosen a divine peak and entered it, naming the divine peak Mortal Peak. He should be in seclusion right now."

Pang Jie nodded and was about to continue speaking when Shi Su suddenly said again, "Master, Hall Master Wuji is very capable, but his aptitude is really..."

Shi Su didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what Shi Su wanted to say.

Pang Jie's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and he said in a calm tone, "Everyone probably thinks that I only gave Wuji a separate peak and even made Wuji the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall because I thought he had some ability to preside over the sect's grand ceremony, right?"

The crowd did not speak, but everyone's expression conveyed this meaning.

Pang Jie sighed and said, "Speaking of love for the sect, I believe that everyone here loves the Tian Fan Sect as much as I do, even more than their own lives. But I have to be honest, including Shi Su and Pang Fengban, can only be considered very ordinary sect disciples. This would be a good thing if the sect were thriving. However, the sect is now in a period of reconstruction amidst trials and tribulations, and capable individuals must stand up to shield the sect from the storm."

Although everyone wanted to retort by saying that Mo Wuji's aptitude was even worse, no one dared to actually refute ancestral founder Pang Jie's words.

Pang Jie continued, "Wuji's aptitude is indeed average now, but I am certain that before Wuji converted his spiritual roots, his aptitude was definitely top-notch, the best of the best..."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Pang Jie explained, "Wuji's bones are very young. I haven't personally examined them, but I'm sure his bone age is no more than ten thousand years, and may even be lower. A disciple who has cultivated to the Nascent God Realm in less than ten thousand years, would you say his aptitude is poor? The reason he is lacking is because he encountered problems during the conversion of his divine spiritual roots, turning his original top-tier spiritual roots into very poor ones. If our Tian Fan Sect can find treasures to purify Wuji's spiritual roots during this God Domain Nest hatching, how great do you think Wuji's future achievements will be?"

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. This disciple understands." At this point, Shi Su and the others finally understood their ancestral founder's good intentions.

Pang Jie nodded slightly and said, "There is one more thing you may not have noticed. When I developed murderous intent towards Ku Cai, only Mo Wuji stood up. He is just a newly entered disciple with poor aptitude. Does he not know that standing up to refute a God King ancestral founder at this time would lead to his death? Yet, he still stood up. What does this signify? He has his own principles, and he wholeheartedly protects even a little junior sister he does not know. With this kind of character, as long as our Tian Fan Sect treats him with sincerity, he will never betray the Tian Fan Sect."

...

After settling Ku Cai down, Mo Wuji cultivated even more frantically. He felt that as long as he circulated the Immortal Mortal Technique, he could absorb the incredibly dense heavenly laws and spiritual energy. In the Tian Fan Sect, his cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.

Five months passed in a flash, and Mo Wuji had completely stabilized at the first level of the Nascent God Realm.

However, because he had entered the Nascent God Realm, even if he absorbed heavenly spiritual energy at a faster rate, it would still be a long way off before he could advance to the second level of the Nascent God Realm in the short term.

On this day, Mo Wuji was fully absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation when the sensory restriction he had set up outside Mortal Peak was triggered.

Mo Wuji stopped cultivating and opened the restriction. To his surprise, sect master Shi Su had come in person. Since Shi Su had come in person, he quickly went out to greet him.

"Haha, Hall Master Wuji, I must have disturbed your cultivation, right?" Shi Su said with a smile before even entering.

Mo Wuji said, "Not at all, I was just planning to come out for a walk. What brings the sect master to my cave abode?"

While speaking, he led Shi Su to the reception hall of his cave abode.

Stopping Mo Wuji from pouring spiritual tea, Shi Su said, "Wuji, you should know about the hatching of the God Domain Nest, right?"

"I know," Mo Wuji nodded. The ancestral founder Pang Jie had mentioned it, and he would be going there.

"The God Domain Nest is about to hatch. Originally, our Tian Fan Sect would just be going there to make up the numbers. But now that the ancestral founder has returned, our Tian Fan Sect is no longer just making up the numbers. The hatching time of the God Domain Nest is not certain. In any case, our Tian Fan Sect will set off three days from now. Are you ready?" Shi Su asked with a smile.
