"Brother Mo, for the sake of the past affection we once shared, please let me go this time." Ji Yue's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. If she had known Mo Wuji would return, she would never have come to the Ping Fan Immortal Gate to be the sect leader.

Moreover, she hadn't been the sect leader of the Ping Fan Immortal Gate for long, and her original plan was to grab a bunch of cultivation resources and leave. However, the cultivation environment here was so good that she was reluctant to leave for a while.

Mo Wuji said coldly, "I really don't remember having any affection with you."

"You can't kill me. If you kill me, Hong Ji won't let you go!" Sensing Mo Wuji's killing intent, Ji Yue shrieked.

"Master, please save Junior Brother Pan Jie and Senior Sister Pan Wu." Lou Yueshuang finally calmed her emotions and had the opportunity to speak.

"What happened to them?" Mo Wuji frowned and asked.

Lou Yueshuang quickly said, "The three of us went to the fifth level of the Shattered World together. Senior Sister Pan Wu and Junior Brother Pan Jie were trapped in a hall on the fifth level. I couldn't open the hall, so I came back to ask the sect for help. Ji Yue scolded me and forbade anyone from going to the Shattered World to help. If it weren't for Protector Yue Jiang, I would have been imprisoned in the sea prison last time."

The fifth level of the Shattered World was open? Mo Wuji didn't even bother to ask and simply unleashed a flame on Ji Yue.

In just the time it takes to breathe, Ji Yue was reduced to nothing by the flame, and a ring was grabbed by Mo Wuji. Even if the eight great saints came to trouble him together, he would not hesitate to kill Ji Yue.

"Yueshuang, draw the specific location of that hall for me." After killing Ji Yue, Mo Wuji said to Lou Yueshuang.

Lou Yueshuang had already prepared a jade slip and handed it to Mo Wuji. If it hadn't been for Zhu Yin's attack on the sect last time, she would have gone to the Shattered World again.

After accepting the jade slip, Mo Wuji signaled Lou Yueshuang to cultivate well and not worry about anything else. Then, he handed the ring he had just obtained from Ji Yue to Yue Jiang. "From today onwards, you are the sect leader of the Ping Fan Immortal Gate. Yue Jiang, in the future, each sect leader must be recognized by all the elders and protectors, as well as the approval of many peak masters, before they can be qualified."

"Yes, Ancestor." Yue Jiang quickly bowed and accepted the ring. He knew that there were a large number of Ping Fan Immortal Gate cultivation resources in the ring, but these resources had been occupied by Ji Yue before.

After carefully putting the ring away, Yue Jiang said again, "Ancestor, very few people in our Ping Fan Immortal Gate can cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique. So far, only Venerable Lian and Sect Leader Fu, who have already ascended..."

Mo Wuji nodded. "I know. I will set up an Meridian Opening Pagoda in the Ping Fan Immortal Gate. In the future, any disciple of our Ping Fan Immortal Gate can cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique if they wish. The recruitment criteria for Ping Fan Immortal Gate disciples is not based on aptitude, but on character. Those with evil character are not allowed to enter the sect."

"Yes." This time, everyone responded in unison.

Mo Wuji then stretched out his hand and patted Fu Jingfeng. Powerful rules and Dao rhythms instantly enveloped Fu Jingfeng's meridians and quickly repaired Fu Jingfeng's sea of consciousness.

"Master..." After waking up, Fu Jingfeng saw Mo Wuji and immediately knelt on the ground. He was very ashamed that he had managed the sect in such a way that even he was controlled by a woman.

Mo Wuji said indifferently, "From today onwards, you will cultivate in seclusion until you ascend."

"Yes." Fu Jingfeng lowered his head even further, not daring to say more.

After signaling Fu Jingfeng to step back, Mo Wuji said to the many Ping Fan Immortal Gate cultivators, "I founded a sect in the God Realm called the Mortal Sect. The Immortal Realm cannot ascend now, but I will break this shackle soon. After everyone ascends, you can go to the Mortal Sect in the God Domain."

Mo Wuji's words were like a huge stone falling into a lake, and all the Ping Fan Immortal Gate cultivators were stunned. Soon everyone reacted and was immediately excited beyond words.

The meaning of the Ancestor's words was too obvious, that is, Ancestor Mo had already ascended to the God Realm and had returned from the God Realm this time.

"Sect Leader Wuji..." Yan Qianling couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Have you seen my daughter Lian Xi and her father Wen Hou?"

Mo Wuji was on the same level as her daughter Wen Lianxi, so there was nothing wrong with Yan Qianling calling Mo Wuji by his name.

Not to mention Wen Lianxi and Wen Hou, Mo Wuji hadn't seen Lian Yingxian, Wei Zidao or anyone else. However, Mo Wuji couldn't say these words, as he was worried that Yan Qianling would worry about Wen Hou and her daughter, eventually leading to inner demons.

After hearing Yan Qianling's words, Mo Wuji quickly said, "After I founded the Mortal Sect, I have been wandering in the void, rarely going to the sect and not staying in the God Realm for long. So I haven't seen any fellow disciples who have ascended. I believe that as long as they reach the God Realm, they will definitely find the Mortal Sect."

Mo Wuji wasn't lying about this, he had indeed been wandering in the void and rarely stayed in the sect.

...

A month later, Mo Wuji left the Ping Fan Immortal Gate.

He did not plant any divine spiritual veins in the Ping Fan Immortal Gate, even though he had divine spiritual veins as numerous as hairs on an ox. As a quasi-sage, his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth had already reached a certain level.

The development of a sect should not rely on a wealthy ancestor using higher-level cultivation resources to stack up. If he planted more divine spiritual veins in the Ping Fan Immortal Gate, it would inevitably disrupt the balance of the Immortal Realm. Countless cultivators would want to join the Ping Fan Immortal Gate, which would eventually lead to greater killings.

Moreover, no matter how many divine spiritual veins he planted, they would eventually be exhausted, which would instead make the sect disciples lose their drive. Mo Wuji firmly believed that strong people could not be cultivated in a greenhouse.

Only self-development could make the Ping Fan Immortal Gate last longer. Therefore, not only did he not plant more divine spiritual veins, he didn't even reinforce the protective array of the Ping Fan Immortal Gate.

If one day the Ping Fan Immortal Gate really declined and disappeared, then that would be the fate of the Ping Fan Immortal Gate.

At this moment, Mo Wuji appeared outside the former Great Sword Dao sect. He was going to remove the sword energy that suppressed ascension of the Great Sword Dao, and then go to the Shattered World to take a look.

The Great Sword Dao used to be a top-notch sect in the Immortal Realm. Since it was destroyed by him back then, the Great Sword Dao had long disappeared into the river of history. At this moment, the Great Sword Dao was all ruins, without any vitality, and there was not a single person within tens of thousands of miles around it.

Just as the news he had received before, a dark red giant sword energy shot directly into the clouds from the depths of the sword prison of the Great Sword Dao.

The red sword energy was surrounded by killing intent and Dao rhythm. Even Mo Wuji could clearly feel a kind of killing intent from this sword energy. If the cultivators of the Immortal Realm approached, even if they were Great Immortal Emperor Completion, they would be strangled by the sword energy.

Mo Wuji only looked at it from the outside for a dozen breaths, and then took a step into the sword prison.

The Peaceful Vine Mountain in the sword prison, the sword energy river next to the Peaceful Vine Mountain, and even the sword energy vortex, were all existences that could take people's lives at any time in the sword prison.

It can be said that if he hadn't been quick-witted back then, he might have died in the Peaceful Vine Mountain or the sword energy river.

Mo Wuji really wanted to go back and take a look at that sword energy river. He escaped with the help of the sword energy river when he first entered the sword prison, and his invincible void array patterns were comprehended in the sword energy river. From this, it can be seen that the origin of this sword energy river was extraordinary.

In that sword energy river, there was also a sword inserted diagonally. His cultivation was still low back then, and he didn't even have the qualifications to get close to that sword. Now that he was at the fourth level of quasi-sage strength, he should be able to go and take a look at that sword.

While crossing to the sky above the sword prison, he raised his hand and tore it apart. The next moment, Mo Wuji was already standing in the sword prison.

The surrounding sword energy was like a breeze to Mo Wuji at this moment, and it couldn't even move his clothes.

Mo Wuji's divine sense swept out, and the sword prison didn't seem to be much different from before. Except for the disappearance of the Peaceful Vine Mountain, the sword energy vortex and the sword energy river were still there. Mo Wuji only took one step and landed on the edge of the sword energy river.

The vertical and horizontal sword energy on the edge of the sword energy river seemed to be much weaker than before. Mo Wuji's divine sense quickly landed on the long sword inserted diagonally in the bottom of the river.

The sword energy emitted by the long sword was still strong, but relative to Mo Wuji at this moment, this sword energy no longer had any harm.

At the edge of the long sword, there was a thin, skeletal man sitting there. He seemed to want to take the long sword away, but the sword energy completely stopped him, and he could only continuously refine it at the edge.

Mo Wuji's divine sense unscrupulously swept over the skeletal man. The skeletal man immediately noticed it, and then looked up at the outside of the sword energy river. When he saw Mo Wuji standing on the edge of the sword energy river, a shocked look appeared in his eyes, and then he stepped out of the sword energy river and stood opposite Mo Wuji.

"It's you?" The skeletal man obviously recognized Mo Wuji and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Wuji smiled and said, "It's me."
