Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"No need to be so polite. I wonder where you two Taoists come from and what are your names?" Mo Juren looked at the two of them and asked calmly.

"Senior, we are from Taiyang Gate and Tianshi Palace respectively..." Without waiting for the old woman to speak, the old man in Confucian robe took the initiative to introduce himself.

After listening to this, Mo Juren's originally calm expression changed slightly.

I thought they were just two strange cultivators I met by chance. After all, Dajin is so big, and there are many powerful cultivators even at the late Nascent Soul stage. It is not surprising to meet two of them.

However, he did not expect that they were actually two "acquaintances". Of course, they were not people he was familiar with, but he had heard of these two names. They were the ones who had appeared in the original destiny line, Mr. Song from Taiyang Gate and Grandma Tianshi from Tianshi Palace.

What a coincidence.

Of course, no matter who it was, he was just a little surprised and didn't have any other thoughts. After all, he was about to leave this world, so how could he be interested in making new friends?

"I am planning to make a trip to the Xueling Mountains. I think you two fellow Taoists have no objection to acting as the hosts here?" Putting aside his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again with a smile.

"Of course not. You two seniors may come in at will. If you need anything, please feel free to let me know. After all, we two are more familiar with this place." Mr. Song answered immediately without even thinking.

What a joke, two powerful gods-transformation masters are the top existences in the entire Dajin. They would have to be crazy to dare to refuse. If they offended the other party, even the two major sects combined would not be able to withstand it.

The only thing that puzzled the two was where these people came from and what their origins were.
Unfortunately, they could only think about it. Since the other party did not tell them voluntarily, they did not dare to ask more questions, not only about the origin, but also the purpose of entering the depths of the Xueling Mountains.

"Forget about helping me, I will solve it myself." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and picked up the tea bowl. Seeing this scene, the two of them instantly understood what was going on and immediately took the initiative to say goodbye, but of course they did not forget to extend the invitation.

"Taiyang Gate and Tianshi Palace? I will go and see them if I have a chance."

"Then the two juniors will be looking forward to it."

……

In mid-air, watching the flying boat fly straight into the depths of the Xueling Mountains, Mr. Song and Grandma Tianshi instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, but great curiosity arose in their hearts.

Regardless of where these people came from, the key question is why they wanted to enter the Xueling Mountains?

As a native local, he is very familiar with everything in this mountain range. If there was any opportunity or rare treasure, it would have been discovered long ago. How could he wait until now?

"Could it be that they are going to look for those refined corpses?" Suddenly, Grandma Tianshi thought of something and guessed uncertainly. After all, apart from those special refined corpses, there was nothing valuable in this mountain range.

"How is that possible?" Mr. Song shook his head slightly.
"The other party is a powerful person in the Spiritualization Stage, how could he be interested in those refined corpses? Moreover, King Xuanye died for unknown reasons many years ago, so these refined corpses are even less valuable.

But Madam Yuhua is also very cautious. For countless years, she has been leading her army of corpse refiners hiding deep underground and almost never showing up. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have been killed by our various factions long ago."

"That Madam Yuhua is indeed no simple person. Although she is slightly weaker than King Xuanye in strength, her wisdom and skills are even better. I never realized before that she is such a difficult character." Grandma Tianshi nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it is indeed very difficult to deal with. This is something we had not thought of before. In addition, he was able to completely control the tomb left by King Xuanye, which gave him a trump card to save his life.

As a result, the various factions were no longer willing to cause trouble for them. After all, with the tomb as a support, not only could their own and all the refined corpses under their command greatly improve their individual strength, but they could also obtain a constant supply of corpse qi, achieving an almost immortal effect.

If you want to completely eliminate such a force, you will inevitably pay a huge price, and the loss will outweigh the gain." Mr. Song sighed.

Of course there is another reason which neither of them mentioned, but they all knew it well. Although they were in the same area, the various factions were not as united as imagined. Instead, they were filled with open and covert struggles and calculations against each other.

There are too many uncertainties in a large-scale fight with the Corpse Refining Army without any trust. It would be bad if we were stabbed in the back by our own people and became cannon fodder.

What's more crucial is that Madam Yuhua is not as aggressive as King Xuanye. She has been restraining the Corpse Refining Army and hiding in the Xueling Mountains. Naturally, she is not a threat to the various factions.

In this case, everyone is naturally happy to maintain the status quo.

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then turned around and left. As for what the two gods-level beings were going to do, although they were curious, they did not dare to delve into it too much. Wouldn't it be bad if they caused the other party's disgust?
……

"These two are quite sensible." Inside the flying boat, Mo Juren withdrew his spiritual sense and a smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he took out the token again and sensed it carefully.

Although he didn't care about those refined corpses, it didn't mean he let go completely. Before he left, he even left restrictions in the souls of Madam Yuhua and her son.

Of course, there was no purpose, it was just a casual move at the time.

With this restriction in place, he can sense the other party's specific location at any time through the token in his hand. In addition, as long as he wants, he can also decide the other party's life or death in an instant.

The flying boat continued to move forward, penetrating about a thousand miles, and then stopped above a valley.

This is already deep in the Xueling Mountains, surrounded by towering mountains and rarely visited by people. What is even more different is that this valley is extremely desolate and lifeless. Not only are there no flowers, trees or plants, there is not even a single wild animal.

Mo Juren appeared on the deck in a flash, and then said coldly to the token in his hand which was already glowing:

"I have arrived, why don't you come out to greet me?"

After saying this, he said no more, observing the scenery of the surrounding mountains while waiting patiently.

At the same time, Han Yunzhi also brought Ning'er out. The former wanted to check the situation of the corpse refining in person, while the latter was just there to join in the fun.

"So many years have passed, could they have betrayed daddy?" Mo Ning said with a grin.

"No one has the courage to do that." Mo Juren laughed coldly. Sure enough, before he finished his words, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground somewhere in the valley below, and two green rays of light flew out directly.

In the blink of an eye, the escaping light flew closer, and when the light faded, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared.

The man looked to be only about twenty years old, completely a young man, with a handsome appearance. He was dressed in a brocade robe, exuding a sense of nobility.

The beautiful woman is a little older, but still very young. She has a stunning appearance and a graceful temperament, yet also a bit of seduction. The combination of good and evil, coupled with her graceful figure, gives off endless charm.

The moment they saw Mo Juren, they did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately flew onto the deck, then bowed respectfully and said:

"This subordinate greets the master!"

"I pay my respects to my master!" "Everyone, get up." Mo Juren nodded, and his eyes swept over the man and said,

"Yes, I have been able to completely absorb the corpse qi into my body and maintain my human form. It seems that these hundreds of years have not been wasted!"

“It is all thanks to the master’s guidance in the past that I have made such progress.” The young man in brocade robe was delighted when he received the praise, but he did not dare to be arrogant and flattered him directly.

"It's not like I was given any guidance. Your achievements today are ultimately due to your own hard work." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, then looked at Madam Yuhua and said,
"You are not bad either. Your cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. In the field of corpse cultivation, such a speed of progress is incredible."

"Master, you are too kind. Compared with you, my progress is really insignificant." Madam Yuhua opened her pink lips slightly and replied in a sweet voice.

At the same time, she also took the initiative to ask Mo Juren the purpose of his visit.

Although she and the young man appeared calm, they were already extremely nervous deep down. After all, their life and death were in the hands of the other.

After so many years, I thought the matter was over and the other party might have forgotten about it, but it suddenly appeared at this moment. How could I not be worried?

"I have a purpose for coming here, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, but whether you can grasp it depends on whether you have such destiny." Mo Juren laughed and continued,

"Next, answer two questions for me. First, what are the attributes of your spiritual roots when you were alive? Second, do you have a special physique?"

"Opportunity?" Upon hearing this, Madam Yuhua and her son were all stunned, and they thought in their hearts that with the other party's strength and the ability to decide their life and death at any time, he should not lie to them, right?
“My wife and I both had natural spiritual roots, but I am of the fire attribute, while your son is of the earth attribute. As for our physiques, I have the legendary body of nether fire, while your son has the body of earth yin.

It is for this reason that my mother and I were able to be buried with the king and embark on the path of corpse cultivation together with him."

After listening to Madam Yuhua's introduction, Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi were both surprised. They had originally just wanted to give it a try, but they didn't expect that there was actually someone who met the requirements.

"What do you think?" He turned to look at Han Yunzhi, who suddenly thought of something. Her eyes flickered slightly, and after thinking for a while, she said,

"Let me check first."

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the front, and the young man in the brocade robe said,

"Lift your wrist up so I can check it."

"Oh..." Although he didn't know the identity of this woman, but being able to stand beside the master, she must be closely related to him. How could the young man in brocade robe dare to object? He immediately raised his arm obediently.

Although he maintains the state of a normal person, he is a refined corpse after all. The corpse poison on the surface of his body still exists and is extremely severe.

However, Han Yunzhi, who was half human and half demon, did not take it seriously at all. A faint gray light suddenly appeared on the surface of her slender white jade palm, and then she stretched out a finger and pointed at a certain position on the opponent's wrist.

It didn't take long before she withdrew her hand, and a hint of joy appeared on her beautiful face.

However, she did not stop, but walked to Madam Yuhua again and then began to examine her carefully.

This surprised Mo Juren a little, as the other party had mentioned before that refining the 'Heavenly Corpse Demon Puppet' required a spiritual root of earth attribute and a yin attribute physique.

It is obvious that Madam Yuhua does not meet these two points, whether it is spiritual roots or physical constitution. Why does Yunzhi still want to check it again?
Maybe there are other reasons?
Mo Juren didn't ask any more questions. No matter what the reason or purpose was, he would naturally support it with all his strength.

Han Yunzhi finished the inspection soon, with a smile on her face becoming more intense. She then asked:

"From what my husband said, besides the two of you, there is another subordinate at the Nascent Soul level. I wonder what his qualifications are?"

"Husband!" Upon hearing this address, Madam Yuhua's heart suddenly trembled, and she replied with a more respectful look.
"You should be talking about General Xing. He was once one of the two great generals under my king, and he is indeed at the Nascent Soul level. His aptitude is also not bad. When he was alive, his spiritual roots were of the dual attributes of earth and wood, which is very compatible with corpse cultivation. Therefore, he was trained by my king."

"Dual spiritual roots of earth and wood?" Hearing this, Han Yunzhi was suddenly a little disappointed. Compared with the two people in front of her, the gap was a little too big.

In this case, she was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore, and then changed the subject:

"My husband just said that he would give you an opportunity, but the prerequisite is that you must meet the conditions. It just so happens that you and your son all meet the conditions, which can be regarded as a pleasant surprise.

As for what the specific opportunity was, it is hard to explain it in a few words, so let's go to the attic and talk about it."

Hearing this, Madam Yuhua and her son were naturally delighted. No matter what the opportunity was, it was probably a good thing after all, and both of them met the requirements, so they were naturally even happier.

On the contrary, Mo Juren and Mo Ning, father and daughter, were completely confused at this moment. It was obvious that Madam Yuhua did not meet the requirements, but why did Han Yunzhi say so?

The two were full of doubts, but did not expose each other. They then invited Madam Yuhua and her son to enter the first floor hall together.

……

Soon, Han Yunzhi explained the whole story.

The result was as expected. Upon hearing that there was a chance to become a higher-level corpse refiner and go to the legendary demon world, Madam Yuhua and her son were instantly ecstatic.

Even though he has already embarked on the path of corpse cultivation, he still has aspirations for the future. After all, the three thousand great ways all lead to the same destination, and he may be able to achieve something in the future.

Unfortunately, this world has too many restrictions, like a cage. Even if you grow to the limit, you can only be at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation at most, and any further than that is the end.

It is impossible for them to reach the conditions for ascension at this level, and they are still corpse cultivators. Even if their cultivation is sufficient, it is still unknown whether they can ascend.

This also means that unless something unexpected happens, you will be confined to this world and unable to leave for the rest of your life.

Hearing that one can become a corpse refiner of a higher level and go to the legendary demon world through another means means breaking through the limitations of the cage and having a more unlimited and broad future.

If you don't agree to this, then you are mentally ill.

As for becoming a puppet and losing freedom, etc., the two of them didn't care at all. It was something they had already lost long ago, so what difference did it make if it just changed its owner?
Madam Yuhua immediately returned to the underground, packed up the important things, and took away as much as possible. At the same time, she also transferred the control of the tomb to General Xing.

After doing all this, she no longer had any attachment and returned to the deck.

With General Xing's respectful farewell, the flying boat turned into a rainbow of light and flew towards the southwest of Dajin. (End of this chapter)
