Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The flying boat traveled at high speed for three full days and finally arrived at the so-called Hanyue Mountains.

What surprised Mo Juren was that during the flight, the temperature between heaven and earth was always normal, even a little hot, but as he entered the area near the mountains, the temperature dropped sharply, as if he had instantly gone from midsummer to cold winter.

When we flew over the mountains, what came into view was a world of ice and snow.

The Hanyue Mountains are vast and stretch as far as the eye can see. The continuous mountains are covered with snow that never melts all year round.

Of course, the spiritual environment here is obviously much better. Even if it is just the outer area, it is far better than what we experienced on the way here before.

After asking, I found out that the reason why the temperature here is so low is not due to natural weather changes, but due to human factors.

According to Xiao Yunqing, about 200,000 years ago, one of his ancestors entered a special realm by chance, from which he obtained a cold-attributed spiritual flame of heaven and earth, and then sealed it deep underground in the Hanyue Mountains.

With the passage of time, and with the cultivation of generations, this flame has long grown to an incredible degree, and has already become spiritual and transformed, completely merging with the surrounding earth veins.

It is precisely because of this that the Hanyue Mountains have become what they are today.

"A cold-attributed spiritual flame of heaven and earth! I wonder which kind it is?" In mid-air, looking at the continuous mountain range covered with ice and snow below, Mo Juren's face suddenly showed curiosity.

At this time, the three of them had already walked out of the attic and stood side by side in front of the deck. They could clearly feel the temperature changes between the surrounding heaven and earth.

Not only was the weather cold, there was also a certain extreme chilliness between heaven and earth, and it felt like even my soul and consciousness were affected to a certain extent.

As the flying boat continued to approach the center of the mountain range, the temperature dropped rapidly and the chilly feeling became more intense.

Fortunately, the three of them are all powerful cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and they can completely resist this strange and unique cold. However, if they were cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage or below, the situation might not be the same.

According to Xiao Yunqing, Xiao family members below the Nascent Soul stage usually wear special cold-proof items when entering and leaving the Hanyue Mountains, otherwise they would not be able to bear it.

"Brother Mo, have you ever heard of the 'Nine Nether Mysterious Phoenix'?" Xiao Yunqing did not answer directly, but asked back with a smile.

"Nine Nether Mysterious Phoenix?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised, then nodded.
"The legendary top-level true spirit, which is not weaker than the Heavenly Phoenix, Mo has naturally heard of it. How come this Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame is related to it?"

"It is indeed related." Xiao Yunqing nodded slightly and continued,
"The spiritual flame that our ancestors obtained was called 'Nether Spring Holy Fire'. It was not recorded in previous books. The reason is very simple. It is not a pure single flame. Instead, it is a fusion of two special flames with cold attributes.

One of them is the Nine Nether Black Phoenix's companion demon flame 'Nine Nether Cold Flame', and the other is the legendary spiritual flame of heaven and earth 'Yellow Spring Spirit Fire'.

I don’t know why, but the two actually intertwined and merged, and eventually mutated, and then formed a new flame. Although it contains a part of the origin of the demon fire, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new spiritual flame of heaven and earth. "

"Holy Fire of the Nether Spring!" Mo Juren murmured. He naturally had a detailed understanding of the many spiritual flames of heaven and earth in the world of immortal cultivation. As the other party said, he had never heard of this name.

The new flame formed by the fusion and mutation of two top-level cold flames, coupled with 200,000 years of cultivation, must have grown to a terrifying level.

There is also a dry blue ice flame in his body. Although it has swallowed a lot of other spiritual fire origins, it has only grown for tens of thousands of years after all, and is far from comparable to this one.

As for the other Vermillion Bird True Fire, although it existed for a longer time, it was still far behind. Moreover, it was originally just a ball of fire spirit, and it had only recently undergone a transformation due to an opportunity.

"By the way, you just mentioned that our ancestors entered a special realm by chance. I wonder which one you are referring to..." Mo Juren withdrew his thoughts and asked again.

"Brother Mo's reaction is quite quick. He grasped the key point right away." Xiao Yunqing smiled sweetly.
"The so-called special realm is another mysterious world outside the spiritual world."

"Another world!" Mo Juren's heart was slightly shocked, but he didn't find it strange. The other party's ancestor must be a top existence in the spiritual world, and it is normal for him to be able to go to other worlds.

The two of them were chatting back and forth, but Xiao Yunhuang, who was standing on the other side, remained silent. She just watched the two of them chatting enthusiastically, and she always felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.

Soon, the flying boat entered the central area of ​​the mountains. The temperature between heaven and earth was extremely low. At this moment, the flying boat suddenly stopped.

Mo Juren gazed into the distance, but the scene he saw surprised him a little.

Ahead of us was a city built deep in the valley, approximately two hundred miles in radius. It was not big, but not small either. The streets in the city were extremely prosperous, with countless people coming and going.

Most of them are just mortals, but there are also quite a few body cultivators and monks, and they are basically in a mixed state.

What surprised him even more was that although there were formations outside the entire city, they were obviously very ordinary and could not even block divine consciousness.

After understanding it, I realized that this formation was indeed just an ordinary magic formation, which was only used to isolate the cold and maintain the temperature in the city, and it had no function of defending against the enemy.

The reason is very simple. In this huge secret realm, everyone is a member of the Xiao family, so there is no need to be on guard.

Of course, there are some places inside the city that have been set up with extremely powerful formations, especially the one in the center. After Mo Juren scanned it with his spiritual sense, he found that he could not see through the situation inside at all.

In addition to the interior of the city, there are also fluctuations of formations in the vast mountains outside the city, which are the locations of caves.

However, the owners of these caves are mostly low-level cultivators at the foundation-building and core-forming stages, so the formations they set up are naturally useless to them.

"The people living here are our clansmen. Most of the mortals and body cultivators live in the city. In addition to the residences in the city, the cultivators with spiritual roots can find suitable locations in the surrounding mountains to open cave dwellings once they have successfully built their foundation..." Xiao Yunqing explained, and while speaking, he put away the flying boat under his feet.

"Let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. The trial will begin soon. My father and mother have already come out of seclusion and are now living in it."

"It's up to you. Besides, this is my first time here, so I need to pay a visit to your parents!" Mo Juren naturally had no objection and nodded immediately.

"Then just follow me!"

After saying that, Xiao Yunqing first greeted her sister, then easily passed through the formation and flew straight to the center of the city at a high speed. Mo Juren followed closely.

Soon the three of them flew down in an open area in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the light curtain surrounding the City Lord's Mansion suddenly flickered, and a certain position split into two, revealing a passage. "It seems that Daddy and Mommy have sensed us, Brother Mo, please follow us in." Xiao Yunqing smiled as she continued to lead the way, and Xiao Yunhuang and Mo Juren followed closely behind.

After passing through the passage, a huge manor suddenly came into view. Mo Juren almost immediately felt the difference between this place and the outside environment.

Not to mention other aspects, just the concentration of spiritual energy is no less than those top-level cultivation sites of large sects.

Obviously, there is a spirit gathering array set up here to gather all the spiritual energy produced by the underground spiritual veins for cultivation, but most mortals outside cannot enjoy it.

The environment of the manor is also very good, with countless exotic flowers and plants, rockery, stone pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and countless servants and maids walking around.

Seeing Xiao Yunqing and the other girl, the servants and maids greeted them respectfully.

After passing through corridors, the three finally arrived in front of a courtyard. Before they could enter, a raging flame suddenly ignited in front of them, and then the figure of a boy emerged.

Although he looks like a boy and is very delicate, he does not have the slightest bit of childish innocence. Instead, his face is full of maturity, especially his pair of eyes that sparkle with a faint light, which reveal a vicissitude that is inconsistent with his age.

"Huh!" The moment he saw the boy, Mo Juren's expression changed slightly. He clearly felt that the Qianlan Ice Flame and Suzaku True Fire in his body suddenly became agitated at this moment.

He was secretly shocked and quickly used his mind to suppress the restless fire in his body. At this time, he looked at the boy again, but happened to meet the other's somewhat fiery gaze.

"Greetings, Senior Mingquan!" At this moment, the two girls stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the boy. However, the latter obviously didn't care about these things. He nodded slightly and ignored them, but continued to look at Mo Juren intently.

Seeing this scene, the two women couldn't help but become a little nervous. They didn't understand why this person was so interested in Brother Mo?

Thinking this in their minds, the two women did not hesitate and gave a brief introduction to both parties.

After hearing this, Mo Juren was immediately surprised. The boy in front of him was actually the "Holy Fire of the Underworld Spring" deep underground. Of course, it was not its real body, but just a wisp of flame.

If a mere wisp of flame possesses such strength, how strong must its true body be? It must be above the fusion realm!
"Greetings, Senior Mingquan!" Recovering his composure, Mo Juren also greeted him respectfully. Upon hearing this, the latter suddenly said,

"The two flames in your body are great. I wonder if you can give them up. Don't worry, I won't take them for nothing. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

"Please forgive me, senior. Those two flames are extremely important to me, and I have no intention of giving them up." Mo Juren was surprised, but he gave a direct reply without thinking.

Upon hearing this, the boy narrowed his eyes slightly, paused and asked again:

"Boy, you'd better think it over carefully. Are you sure you want to reject my proposal?"

"What? Senior, are you still planning to threaten me?" Mo Juren's face turned cold and he instantly became alert.

To be honest, even though the other party's strength is unfathomable, he is not afraid at all.

As the spiritual flame of heaven and earth, even if its strength is too strong and the Fire Edict is not enough, it should be able to meet the requirements for the inclusion of auxiliary device materials.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about.

"Eh!" The boy was obviously a little surprised by Mo Juren's toughness. He looked at him for a while and then shook his head.

"It's not a threat. You are a guest. I am not that mean. But I haven't told you my conditions yet. Are you sure you don't want to listen to them?"

"No matter how good the conditions are, I will never agree to it."

"Okay, very good, hehe..." Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, the boy's face became a little ugly. After staring at the other party deeply, he disappeared in a flash.

At this time, the two women finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Yunqing said with an apologetic look:

"Brother Mo, please forgive me. We didn't expect this, but please rest assured that Senior Mingquan has this kind of personality. He says what he thinks, but he is definitely not a mean person who plots behind people's backs. Since he promised not to make things difficult for you, he will definitely not break his promise."

"In that case, then it couldn't be better!" Mo Juren nodded slightly, but his expression was still a little solemn. It was obvious that the experience just now completely ruined his good mood.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant. The two women looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

When he entered the courtyard, two maids were walking towards him. He was a little surprised when he saw the two women, and then he bowed respectfully to greet them.

"Stand up, no need to be polite!" Xiao Yunqing raised her hand slightly and lifted up the two maids. Then she suddenly asked in a low voice,
"Where are Daddy and Mommy now? And where is the guy from the Lu family now?"

"The city lord just left for something, and Senior Lu is still in the front hall, being received by the Madam and the eldest daughter."

"Big sister has come out of confinement?" Xiao Yunqing was slightly surprised, and waved her hand to signal the other party to leave. Then she looked at Xiao Yunhuang who was not looking very happy and said,

"You have to meet someone you're supposed to meet. You can't avoid it. But as I said before, your fate is in your own hands. It doesn't matter whether you meet him or not at this moment."

"Don't worry, Seventh Sister, I know everything." Xiao Yunhuang nodded slightly, obviously she had figured it out, and her expression immediately became calm.

"And Brother Mo, that Lu has a bad personality. Once he learns about your intentions, there will inevitably be a verbal conflict. He is very powerful, so you still have to restrain yourself."

"What if he can't restrain himself and ends up taking action?" Mo Juren smiled coldly. If he were a truly powerful person, then he should 'suffer a little'. However, the man named Lu was only at the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. It was not worth his 'suffering'.

As for background, everyone knows it. Even if the other party is backed by the Lu family, he doesn't care at all.

"Fighting is inevitable, after all, there is a high probability that you will have a fight. I also know that Brother Mo has an extraordinary background, so he is naturally not afraid of the Lu family.

But as I said before, you must not be careless. Lu Tuo is already quite powerful and has many hidden cards in his hand. He is definitely not someone you can easily deal with. "Xiao Yunqing said with a serious expression,

"According to my understanding, he has an extremely special magical treasure in his hand, called the 'Nine Palaces Magic Banner'. Although it is ranked relatively low, it is a real existence on the list and its power cannot be underestimated." (End of this chapter)
