"No, neither of you can go. Stay here and cultivate obediently."
Mo Tianxiao's tone left absolutely no room for negotiation.
Nangong Wan definitely couldn't leave the sect right now. Possessing an Immortal Bone and a Great Emperor's inheritance, who knew how many people were eyeing her.
Even though the Demon Sect was a top-tier faction, there was no guarantee that other factions of the same caliber wouldn't be tempted.
With her peerless talent and lack of bottlenecks, staying home to cultivate obediently was the most suitable path for her. As for going out to gain experience, that was something cultivators without resources, backgrounds, or talent were forced to do.
For someone like Nangong Wan, she only needed to smoothly cultivate to the Emperor Realm and become invincible. That was it.
As for Su Muxue, he had no desire to bring this woman along, just to avoid arguing on the road.
"Why?"
Rejected, Nangong Wan pouted unhappily, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"Wan'er, you need to focus on your cultivation. Going out to gain experience will only hinder your progress. Once you become a Saint Realm expert, you can go out and experience the world however you want."
"Hmph."
Nangong Wan turned her head slightly and gave a delicate snort.
She knew her senior brother was doing this for her own good. She also knew that with her current strength, if she encountered cultivators coveting her Immortal Bone and Great Emperor's inheritance outside, she would have no power to protect herself and would only drag her senior brother down. But she just didn't want to be separated from him.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Your senior brother is just going out for a walk. I'll be back as soon as I break through to the Tongxuan Realm."
Mo Tianxiao reached out and rubbed Nangong Wan's head, speaking softly.
"It's a promise, then. You can't stay outside for too long," Nangong Wan reluctantly agreed.
"What about me?"
Seeing Mo Tianxiao patting Nangong Wan's head, Su Muxue spoke up and asked.
"You? You want a head pat too?"
Mo Tianxiao looked at her with a surprised expression.
Hearing this, Su Muxue's face flushed red. Her expression turned into one of embarrassed anger as she quickly denied it, "I meant, why can't I go out to gain experience either!"
"Oh, so that's what you meant."
Realizing her meaning, Mo Tianxiao said as if it were a matter of course, "If you leave, who will keep my junior sister company? Wouldn't she be lonely cultivating here all by herself?"
"You!"
Hearing his explanation, Su Muxue immediately placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, wanting to chop him down with a single strike.
How could this guy be so despicable!
"Alright, alright, I'm just joking. Your cultivation is only at the first level of the Tongxuan Realm right now. If you don't cultivate properly in the Time Tower, you'll only be left further and further behind by us. By then, you won't even have the qualifications to challenge me anymore."
As for Su Muxue, he did consider her a friend.
From blows comes friendship; the two of them could be considered to have some affinity. On the path of cultivation, having a few more friends who could advance side by side was naturally a good thing.
"Tch, you're only at the peak of the Soul Formation Realm. Your cultivation isn't even as high as mine, yet you dare say you'll leave me behind."
Su Muxue was somewhat unconvinced.
"Just because my cultivation isn't as high as yours now doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Besides, so what if your cultivation is higher? You're still no match for me."
"You really... I don't want to talk to you!"
Su Muxue walked away in a huff, sat cross-legged on a futon, and began to cultivate.
She really couldn't communicate with this guy. Every time they spoke, they would clash. It was so annoying.
With a smile on his face, Mo Tianxiao withdrew his gaze and looked at Nangong Wan, saying, "Wan'er, cultivate well. I'm going to say goodbye to Master and then I'll leave directly. I'll check on your cultivation when I get back."
"If your senior brother surpasses you, there will be a punishment."
Pinching Nangong Wan's little face, Mo Tianxiao didn't linger any longer.
"Senior brother, you must be careful. If you encounter danger, you must call for Master."
Nangong Wan's eyes were filled with worry and reluctance to part.
Senior brother must have felt pressured because she had surpassed him by too much, which was why he had to go out and gain experience. If she had known, she wouldn't have cultivated so fast.
Nangong Wan fell into her own imagination, thinking that she had put too much pressure on her senior brother. She completely failed to realize that her good senior brother was just afraid of scaring her, which was why he didn't dare to cultivate within the sect.
After Mo Tianxiao left, he headed non-stop to his Master's palace.
"Master!"
He called out at the entrance of the main hall.
"Enter."
Waiting until he heard his Master's voice, Mo Tianxiao walked in apprehensively, his gaze falling upon his Master who loved to drink.
"Master, your disciple wishes to go out and gain some experience."
"Oh? Why do you have such a thought? Are you lacking resources here?"
Yue Liuli raised her cold and clear eyes, glancing at Mo Tianxiao.
Mo Tianxiao quickly waved his hands. "I'm not lacking resources. It's just that your disciple feels my cultivation has reached a bottleneck. I want to go out for a walk and look for an opportunity to break through."
Hearing his words, an obscure light flashed through Yue Liuli's eyes as she swept her gaze over his body.
Facing his Master's profound gaze, Mo Tianxiao's body turned cold. He felt as if he had been seen through completely, and his scalp tingled inexplicably.
"Go if you want to. Remember, you must return within three hundred years at the latest. Otherwise, I will personally go look for you."
Yue Liuli did not stop him.
His talent was like a transparent fish tank in Yue Liuli's eyes; she knew exactly how many fish were inside.
His talent fell severely short when compared to the best, but was still quite decent when compared to the worst.
If she didn't know that he was that person from her previous life, her evaluation of him would be that he would at most stop at the threshold of the Saint Realm in this life, and that was even with the full support of a top-tier faction like the Demon Sect.
Fortunately, however, his abilities could not be judged by common sense.
"Thank you, Master!"
Receiving a positive reply, a trace of joy flashed through Mo Tianxiao's eyes.
It seemed that Master hadn't entered any strange state. The current Master was normal!
"By the way, Master, do you know where I can find Battle Saint Blood?"
Having not found any information about Battle Saint Blood in the Scripture Pavilion, he simply decided to ask Yue Liuli.
His Master was the reincarnation of an immortal; she might know even more things than what was in the Scripture Pavilion.
"Battle Saint Blood?"
Hearing this term, a trace of doubt appeared in Yue Liuli's eyes. "Xiao Mozi, could it be that you possess the Battle Saint Physique?"
"How could your disciple have the Battle Saint Physique? I just saw some information about the Battle Saint Physique in the Scripture Pavilion and was curious, so I asked," Mo Tianxiao replied calmly.
"The Battle Saint Physique does not manifest innately and has absolutely no distinguishing features. It is no different from an ordinary person. Without an opportunity to awaken it, it might never be noticed for an entire lifetime."
"Battle Saint Blood is a rare substance that can awaken the Battle Saint Physique, which is why it was named Battle Saint Blood.
In reality, it is nothing more than the essence blood of a Saint Realm demonic beast."
Yue Liuli recounted what she knew. "And this demonic beast is a type of ape demonic beast, known as the Battle Saint Ape."
"As far as I know, there is an aging Saint Realm Battle Saint Ape in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I don't know if it's dead or not."
"The Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
Mo Tianxiao froze. Wasn't that Xiao Yao's territory?
"The demonic beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains have no goodwill toward humans. It will be very difficult to obtain this Battle Saint Blood."
Yue Liuli looked at Mo Tianxiao calmly. "However, if you want it, your Master can make a trip for you and slay that Saint Ape. Anyway, even if it isn't dead yet, it won't live for much longer."
"No, no, no, I was just asking out of curiosity. I have no intention of wanting it."
Hearing how ferocious his Master was, Mo Tianxiao quickly waved his hands to urge her to calm down.
It was just a little essence blood; there was no need to take someone's life over it.
Besides, given his relationship with Huang Xiaoyao, he might be able to easily obtain the Battle Saint Blood just by appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her. If that failed, it still wouldn't be too late to ask his Master for a little favor.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
