Harmonious Sect Atmosphere

Hearing that Mo Tianxiao had actually counter-killed Gu Bufan, the First Elder finally noticed that the young man's cultivation had reached peak Soul Formation.

Wasn't he just at the third level of the Nascent Soul realm?

"I encountered some good fortune in the secret realm and accidentally broke through," Mo Tianxiao scratched his head, a guilty smile on his face.

Hearing this, the First Elder placed a hand on him to sense his condition. After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction. "Your foundation is solid. Not bad."

It was a genuine peak Soul Formation cultivation, without the slightest feeling of instability.

To be able to break through from the third level of the Nascent Soul realm to peak Soul Formation in such a short time, this kind of talent was no less than Nangong Wan's. No wonder the Sect Master took him in as her direct eldest disciple. Did she realize early on that he was a late-blooming genius?

Now, the Demon Sect had Mo Tianxiao and Nangong Wan, two youths with the potential of Great Emperors, at the bottom, and a fierce powerhouse like the Sect Master at the top. The future of the Demon Sect was bright.

"First Elder, actually, besides the Great Emperor's legacy, we also snatched another treasure."

Saying so, Mo Tianxiao took out the Time Tower.

The ancient black tower hovered above his palm, slowly rotating. A layer of divine charm flowed around it, like some sort of law, inspiring awe in anyone who looked at it.

"Is this... an Emperor Weapon?!"

The First Elder stared at the Time Tower in Mo Tianxiao's hands, the color draining from his face as his eyes widened involuntarily.

He knew exactly what was wrapping the ancient tower—the power of laws.

Only by mastering the power of a law could one glimpse the threshold of the Emperor Realm.

Comprehending the power of laws was harder than ascending to the heavens. This was the reason why countless stunning geniuses could only reach the Saint Realm in their entire lives, unable to take a single step further.

The power of laws was not something that could be comprehended through hard work alone.

Talent, serendipity, destiny, effort... Only when all these factors were stacked together did one have a chance to fully comprehend a law and ascend to the Emperor Realm.

"This is the Time Tower, a Quasi-Emperor Weapon," Mo Tianxiao explained.

"Good, excellent!"

The First Elder nodded repeatedly. He hadn't expected the Demon Sect to reap such a massive harvest from this secret realm.

Not only did they obtain a Great Emperor's legacy, but they also acquired a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, and a time-attribute treasure at that.

Laws were divided into strong and weak, and time belonged to the absolute pinnacle. If someone could comprehend the laws on this Time Tower, they might be able to take another step forward on the path of cultivation.

"It's a good thing you didn't take this out earlier, otherwise that Zhang brat might have tried to snatch it."

The First Elder felt somewhat relieved.

This was an Emperor Weapon. Strictly speaking, it was even more appealing than the Great Emperor's legacy Nangong Wan had obtained.

A Great Emperor's legacy was ultimately just a legacy. Whether one could successfully grow into a Great Emperor was another matter entirely. Furthermore, most Great Emperor legacies would choose suitable successors. Not everyone who obtained a Great Emperor's legacy could soar to greatness.

If your talent and destiny were insufficient, you might not even be able to grasp the basics, even if you were given a Great Emperor's cultivation technique.

But an Emperor Weapon was different. As long as one's cultivation was high enough, anyone could use it. Even if it was just used to smash people, it was harder than other weapons.

If Mo Tianxiao had taken it out earlier, they might have been besieged by the major factions.

A Quasi-Emperor Weapon was enough to tempt them all.

"But it's fine now. Even if they know about it, it's useless. As long as this treasure returns to our Demon Sect's territory, no one can snatch it."

The First Elder was in an excellent mood now, completely forgetting the bad mood brought about by the traitor Gu Bufan.

Several days later.

Mo Tianxiao and the others returned to the sect, bringing good news to the Demon Sect.

In the main hall of the sect, numerous elders had gathered.

"Wonderful! This is a sign of great prosperity for our Demon Sect!"

"For ten thousand years, no one could obtain the Void Emperor's legacy. To think it would finally fall into the hands of our Demon Sect. The potential of an immortal bone is truly terrifying!"

"I heard from the First Elder that Tianxiao and Wan'er not only obtained a Great Emperor's legacy but also suppressed numerous geniuses to snatch a Quasi-Emperor Weapon?"

"Tianxiao, how do you plan to handle this Emperor Weapon?"

The surrounding elders looked at Mo Tianxiao curiously. Since this was something he had snatched himself, it wasn't appropriate for them to ask a junior to hand it over to the sect, especially since the Sect Master hadn't spoken yet.

"Well..."

Mo Tianxiao thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "The time flow inside this Time Tower is ten to one compared to the outside world. It is a rare auxiliary treasure. I plan to place it within the sect for the disciples to use for their cultivation."

Hearing this, the numerous elders looked at him with newfound respect. What noble character! Was he even a demonic cultivator?

"Hahahahaha! As expected of the future pillar of our Demon Sect. What a grand vision!"

"Tianxiao, I thank you on behalf of all the disciples of the Demon Sect!"

"With a disciple like this, why worry about our Demon Sect not prospering!"

Faced with the sweet words of the numerous elders, Mo Tianxiao felt a bit overwhelmed and could only deflect all the praise to his master. "Elders, you flatter me too much. This is all thanks to my Master's excellent teaching."

"Alright, enough with the mutual flattery. Tianxiao, Wan'er, you both did well this time. Tell me what rewards you want."

On the main seat, Yue Liuli leaned back in her chair, looking at the two of them. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, indicating she was in a good mood.

"Master, I have a presumptuous request. I don't know if I should say it."

Mo Tianxiao rubbed his hands together, already having an idea in mind.

Although he had earned quite a lot of Villain Points in the secret realm, it was ultimately too slow. He still had to rely on his junior brothers and sisters in the sect for crowdfunding.

Otherwise, heaven knew how long it would take for him to cultivate the Demon Emperor Sutra to the third level.

Relying solely on himself definitely wouldn't work. He had tried it before, and the progress was too slow. A Great Emperor's cultivation technique only became more profound the further one progressed. If he just cultivated honestly by himself, with his meager talent, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate it to perfection in his entire lifetime.

"Speak."

Yue Liuli's cold, clear voice entered his ears, and the surrounding elders were also somewhat curious about what presumptuous request he had.

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao spoke slowly, "Can I be the one to set the conditions for the sect's disciples to enter the Time Tower to cultivate? I promise that every disciple will have an equal opportunity to enter and cultivate!"

"Is that all? Granted."

Yue Liuli had thought he was going to make some excessive demand, so she simply waved her hand and granted it.

"Tianxiao, you brought this Time Tower back yourself. Whatever you say goes. We all support you."

The surrounding elders chimed in, encouraging Mo Tianxiao to be bold.

For him to generously take out this Quasi-Emperor Weapon for the numerous disciples to use was already a huge advantage for them. It was only right that they pay a small price.

"Thank you for your support, Master and Elders!"

Mo Tianxiao cupped his hands in thanks.

Now he had to carefully ponder how to reasonably use the Time Tower to fleece his junior brothers and sisters.

Collecting protection fees could no longer generate negative emotions from them, so he had to think of another trick.

"Wan'er, what reward do you want?" Yue Liuli looked at Nangong Wan and asked.

Nangong Wan pondered for a moment, glanced at her senior brother beside her, and said, "Master, I haven't decided yet."

"Since that is the case, come and tell me once you have figured it out. The elders may leave now."

"Tianxiao, come to your Master's place alone later. I have something to tell you."

With those words, Yue Liuli's figure faded into nothingness.

The surrounding elders also stepped forward to bid the two of them farewell.

When the Grand Elder approached them, he offered a word of warning. "Tianxiao, Wan'er, try your best to stay within the sect for the time being. Beware of being plotted against in the shadows."

Hearing this, the two nodded, fully understanding the Grand Elder's meaning.

Wandering around carelessly right after obtaining a Great Emperor's inheritance would undoubtedly draw the attention of those with malicious intent.
