...
For the Daoist Immortal Sect, the Daoist Immortal Scripture is crucial, including numerous secret techniques and methods of the sect.
There is also a concise description of the Harmony Dao Period.
Therefore.
In the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Only the Sect Master can cultivate the Daoist Immortal Scripture.
Even though Mu mengting has already entered the Void Refinement Stage, he cannot access the Daoist Immortal Scripture until he becomes the Sect Master.
This is the rule and iron law of the Daoist Immortal Sect, which has been the case for hundreds of thousands of years.
However.
Mu Qingliu understands.
Rules are made by people.
Regarding his grandson's terrifying talent and formidable strength, even if he were to give him the Daoist Immortal Scripture, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Anyway, whether he gives it or not, Mu Qingliu doesn't have the confidence to defeat Lin Yuan.
"However, this matter cannot be disclosed, and everything about the Daoist Immortal Scripture cannot be taught to anyone else," Mu Qingliu said.
He can only tolerate Jun Wuji being the only one who knows the Daoist Immortal Scripture.
"Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.
"The second condition."
"I want to know everything about the Ascension Platform," Lin Yuan continued.
The Ascension Platform is of great importance.
The reason why the Blood Demon Sea, the Ghost Palace, and the Demon Saint's Nest constantly stir up wars in the Central Divine Continent is for the Ascension Platform.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the reason why the Daoist Immortal Sect was able to dominate the Central Divine Continent was also because of the Ascension Platform.
It is said that the Ascension Platform connects to the 'Spirit Realm.'
"I'll tell you this even if you don't," Mu Qingliu said.
Even if he doesn't tell Lin Yuan, those three old fellows from the Ghost Palace, Blood Demon Sea, and Demon Saint's Nest would be eager to inform the Lord of Yuan Yang Island.
"The third."
When Lin Yuan said this, he paused.
The third condition is also a crucial one, and the first two conditions combined are not comparable.
"I want to spread martial arts in the Central Divine Continent," Lin Yuan said.
Implicitly, the Daoist Immortal Sect is not allowed to suppress the spread of martial arts.
"Martial arts?" Mu Qingliu's expression changed slightly.
He knew about the White Jade Pavilion in the Eastern Sea, where many disciples practiced a martial arts cultivation system.
Mu Qingliu had even watched some martial arts techniques.
Martial arts, a cultivation system entirely different from immortal cultivation, exhibits considerable potential and is not much weaker than immortal cultivation.
This time, the reason why the Daoist Immortal Sect cultivated the second ancient saint, with Mu Qingliu holding the Taihao Mirror, intending to wipe out White Jade Island, was because of martial arts.
Apart from the fact that White Jade Island was considered a 'soft persimmon' in his eyes.
It's also because martial arts brought a sense of threat to Mu Qingliu.
In the Eastern Sea archipelago, there are eight hundred side gates, three thousand left paths, and various cultivation systems, but they all have obvious flaws and are almost impossible to produce cultivators at the Void Refinement Stage level.
This is also the reason why the Eastern Sea archipelago has been in constant turmoil, without a sufficiently powerful cultivator, so it can only keep splitting apart.
But martial arts...
Mu Qingliu was almost certain that if one were to cultivate according to the martial arts cultivation system, it would be only a matter of time before a saint was born, that is, the sixth rank of martial arts, known as the martial arts saint.
"Let's change it."
"This is impossible," Mu Qingliu shook his head.
Other things can be negotiated.
But allowing the spread of martial arts? That's absolutely impossible.
In Mu Qingliu's eyes, the greatest concession he can make is to let Jun Wuji become the next Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Anyway.
Jun Wuji is also a disciple of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
With such strength, such talent, he is far beyond Mu Mengting.
Letting Jun Wuji become the next Sect Master is not a problem.
It might even completely win him over.
As for Mu Mengting? He can only be somewhat aggrieved and become a guardian of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
"Impossible?" Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
But in his heart, he sighed lightly.
He had long anticipated this possibility; martial arts and immortal cultivation are fundamentally different.
In simple terms.
What is the foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect? Is it the successive Sect Masters? Or the endless secret techniques of immortal arts?
None of them.
The foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Is immortal cultivation.
For the Daoist Immortal Sect, immortal cultivation is equivalent to the bloodline of the royal family in a vast empire.
In the empire, anyone can become emperor, provided they have the royal bloodline.
Now, Lin Yuan wants to allow the Daoist Immortal Sect to spread martial arts, which is equivalent to pulling out the roots of the Daoist Immortal Sect and changing dynasties.
If Mu Qingliu were to agree to this, he would be the eternal sinner of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Martial arts and immortal cultivation are two completely different paths.
The battle between the two paths is the most significant.
As for why body cultivation does not conflict with immortal cultivation, it is because body cultivation is not a complete cultivation system.
Any cultivation system, when developed to a deep level, will have comprehensive improvements to oneself, including the physical body, soul, lifespan, and so on.
But body cultivation can only enhance the physical body, and it cannot even increase the most fundamental lifespan of a cultivator.
This means that body cultivation is more like some kind of secret technique.
Not only can immortal cultivation incorporate body cultivation into its scope, but martial arts can also do so, as can other demonic and demonic cultivation paths.
"Then forget it," Lin Yuan said calmly.
He appeared to negotiate with Mu Qingliu.
It was just an attempt to see the Daoist Immortal Sect's attitude toward martial arts, and what it would be like.
Lin Yuan had long prepared for failure. Before ascending to the summit of Cloud Mist Mountain, he had already asked Yin's divine soul to take his parents and elder brother and sister to the Eastern Sea.
"Let it go."
Mu Qingliu's expression turned silent.
These words meant that the cooperation had failed.
"Wuji."
Mu Qingliu's gaze suddenly became fierce.
The Taihao Mirror above his head even emitted strands of immortal light.
"The Lord of the White Jade Island should be one of your avatars?" Mu Qingliu muttered to himself.
The technique of avatars was not uncommon, and the Daoist Immortal Sect had a secret technique for creating avatars.
However, to create an avatar, one must pay a huge price, and in the end, one must sacrifice half of their own soul and inject it into the avatar.
Losing half of one's soul meant a decrease in cultivation speed, insight, and other aspects.
So Mu Qingliu did not practice the technique of avatars. He wielded the Taihao Mirror. In the current world, no matter how far away, he could form a mirror avatar with just a thought, which was no different from an avatar.
"Today, I want to see how strong your strength has become, after enduring until today, Wuji."
Mu Qingliu suddenly stood up, and the Taihao Mirror's Immortal Realm above his head radiated even brighter light.
At the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.
The two Golden Core female cultivators, Chunhua and Qiuyue, were talking quietly.
"The young master has been up for so long, why hasn't he come down yet?"
"Maybe he's chatting with the Sect Master. After all, the young master hasn't been out for a long time."
"That's true, but the fact that the Sect Master is willing to chat with the young master shows that they have a good relationship."
As Chunhua and Qiuyue chatted, they glanced towards the summit of Cloud Mist Mountain.
Suddenly.
A terrifying wave of energy emanated from the summit.
Chunhua and Qiuyue subconsciously looked up.
Instantly, their jaws dropped in shock.
They saw two figures soaring from the top of Cloud Mist Mountain.
The figure on the left was Mu Qingliu, the Sect Master of the sect, with the Taihao Mirror above his head, radiating boundless light and power.
As for the figure on the right, it seemed to possess immense power, with surging blood energy and a crimson aura engulfing the surroundings for tens of thousands of miles.
Under the endless sea of blood and energy, Mu Qingliu, with the Taihao Mirror, seemed like a boat that could capsize at any moment, swaying unsteadily.
The crucial point that left Chunhua and Qiuyue's minds in a mess was the figure pressing down on the Sect Master of the sect. It seemed to be their young master, Jun Wuji?
Is the young master fighting with the Sect Master? The Sect Master seems unable to beat the young master? Chunhua and Qiuyue's mouths were wide open.
When Mu Qingliu fought with Lin Yuan, the terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions.
In the west of the Divine Continent.
Demon Saint's Nest.
The Demon Saint was pondering. What strength does the Lord of White Jade Island have, to withstand the blow of Mu Qingliu holding the Taihao Mirror?
"That's?"
The Demon Saint's face suddenly changed.
He keenly felt that in the center of the Central Divine Continent, two powerful auras were in confrontation.
One of them radiated boundless light and power, illuminating every corner of the world, which should be Mu Qingliu.
As for the other one, with its surging blood energy, shaking the Central Divine Continent, even though the Taihao Mirror's power was infinite, it was still swaying under the terrifying blood energy.
"Who could it be?"
"Actually able to suppress Mu Qingliu in the Central Divine Continent?"
The Demon Saint was truly frightened.
That was Mu Qingliu, who wielded the Taihao Mirror, was invincible in the world. He had never been suppressed like this before, especially at his own doorstep.
"Show me."
The Demon Saint took a deep breath and reached out to press in front of him.
He was activating some kind of secret technique to project the scene of the battle in the center of the Central Divine Continent here.
With a rustling sound.
One after another, illusory images gradually appeared.
It was a battlefield located in the Nine Heavens.
Crimson aura surged, and the bright red blood almost engulfed everything.
But the Demon Saint vaguely noticed that there was a sturdy man standing in the center of the blood energy, towering like a mountain. He stood tall and was wielding some kind of boxing technique, suppressing both the Taihao Mirror and Mu Qingliu, which was a plight beyond words.
Every time the man struck, a shallow fist mark appeared on the Taihao Mirror itself. Although it recovered in an instant, it was still the Taihao Mirror, a treasure of the Harmony Dao Period.
It should have been indestructible.
"Turbulent blood energy? Is it the body cultivation lineage? No, it's more than just body cultivation."
The Demon Saint swallowed his saliva. It had been a long time since he had felt such fear. But now, seeing that sturdy man, the Demon Saint's mind was trembling.
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
The Demon Saint continued to activate the secret technique, and the image gradually became clear. The appearance of that sturdy man vaguely revealed itself.
"He is..."
The Demon Saint widened his eyes.
As an ancient saint, his memory was extremely powerful. Every time he awakened, he would review the appearance of the cultivators with some status in the Central Divine Continent.
And at this moment, the appearance of that sturdy man was unexpectedly that of Jun Wuji, the third generation Young Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who was considered a waste without spiritual roots?
"How is this possible?"
The Demon Saint was dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.
"Is it Jun Wuji?"
"How can he be so strong?"
In the Blood Demon Sea, the Lord of the Blood Demon was equally shocked.
He had tried to win over Jun Wuji, and through him, win over Jun Dongjin.
So he was quite familiar with Jun Wuji, after all, he had paid attention to him.
But now.
The Lord of the Blood Demon was trembling in fear.
That was the Taihao Mirror held by Mu Qingliu, the invincible Mu Qingliu. He had never been suppressed like this before, especially at his own doorstep.
"Jun Wuji, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply!"
The Lord of Blood Demons steadied his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the blood-colored figure he had sent to recruit Jun Wuji.
Back then, the blood-colored figure died quickly, and the Lord of Blood Demons thought it was just bad luck, being discovered by Mu Qingliu wielding the Taihao Mirror.
But now, he estimated that the blood-colored figure must have died at the hands of Jun Wuji.
"Fortunately."
The Lord of Blood Demons looked towards the ongoing battle, where Jun Wuji seemed to be pressing Mu Qingliu, preparing to speak. For some reason, he felt relieved.
Although he didn't know why Jun Wuji was fighting his grandfather Mu Qingliu.
But this was a good thing.
Given Jun Wuji's displayed strength now.
As long as he teamed up with Mu Qingliu.
No, even without teaming up.
As long as Jun Wuji harbored killing intent towards them.
He wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.
Other Void Refinement Stage Cultivators could still hide and survive in some corner.
But he was merged with the Blood Demon Sea, unable to leave, making him too conspicuous, like a living target.
Ghost Palace.
The thin man's forehead was faintly covered in cold sweat.
He didn't have a physical body, only a soul, so he shouldn't have the concept of 'cold sweat,' but he felt like his scalp was about to explode when he sensed the battle between Lin Yuan and Mu Qingliu.
If that surging tide of blood and qi were to come and suppress him...
The thin man didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
As the King of Ghost Cultivation, he possessed some kind of 'immortality' trait.
But no matter how immortal he was, there were limits.
If he were swept by that endless blood and qi once, even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured.
If it happened a few more times, he would probably truly die.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat."
The thin man immediately manipulated the Ghost Palace and retreated towards the extreme south.
He was truly afraid.
In the Nine Heavens.
Mu Qingliu struggled under the Taihao Mirror above his head.
"Wuji, why are you so strong."
Mu Qingliu's face was grim. He originally thought that Jun Wuji's strength was weakened due to the avatar.
He decided to make a move.
Not to mention surpassing the opponent, at least he could regain some face.
Being worse than his own grandson wasn't a good thing for a grandfather.
But the reality was different.
In just the moment of their exchange.
He was suppressed by Lin Yuan.
And there had been no counterattack since.
It's not that he didn't want to counterattack.
But he simply couldn't.
"We can't drag this out."
Mu Qingliu made a decision in his heart.
Although he could still hold on with the Taihao Mirror.
Continuing like this wouldn't be good.
"Let's return to Daoist Immortal Sect."
Mu Qingliu sighed.
For tens of thousands of years, it was the first time that the Sect Master of the sect was beaten and forced to retreat to the sect's gate.
Swish.
The Taihao Mirror suddenly emitted boundless light.
Breaking through the heavy blood and qi.
It shot towards the direction of Daoist Immortal Mountain.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Lin Yuan followed quickly.
Daoist Immortal Mountain.
The aura of immortality pervaded.
But at this moment, the entire sect, from top to bottom, was on edge as if facing a great enemy.
The Sect Master was battling fiercely in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, and the terrifying fluctuations naturally had been noticed by many disciples of Daoist Immortal Mountain nearby.
Many elders and grand elders immediately began to activate the protective sect array.
Hum!
A beam of light fell from above.
As the hub of Daoist Immortal Mountain's array, the Taihao Mirror could bypass many of the sect's formations and directly enter the sect.
"Quick, activate the Nine Heavens Defense Array, the Ten Earths Thick Soil Array, the Five Elements Rotation Array, the Yin Yang Fusion Array."
Mu Qingliu's tone was urgent as he activated the Taihao Immortal Array, activating all the countless arrays accumulated by Daoist Immortal Sect over tens of thousands of years.
The next moment.
Crash!
Like a crimson cloud, boundless and unparalleled, the dazzling and shocking torrent of blood and qi submerged Daoist Immortal Mountain.
