Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Yuhua Mountain?" Mo Juren was surprised. He really knew this place. If he remembered correctly, it should be an ordinary mountain range in the northern part of Tianyuan City. It was in a remote location with low spiritual energy concentration and a small area. It was a deserted place that no one cared about. Why would the other party live there?
Or perhaps the publicly available information is just an illusion, and that it is actually a treasure trove?
That's quite possible, since similar situations are commonplace for many powerful individuals.

He immediately felt a surge of interest and knew he would definitely visit it someday, so he could see the true face of Yuhua Mountain.

Of course, this is only one aspect; the real purpose is to further strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

Not to mention that the other party himself is a cultivator at the Integration Realm and one of the powerful figures in Tianyuan City, the key point is that he once stayed by the side of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan's ancestor Ao Xiao for nearly a thousand years, and was a true confidant.

Such beings are of great use to him, and now that such a good opportunity is presented to him, he will naturally seize it and would never give it up.

Pulling his thoughts back, he looked again at the token and jade slip in his hand, and couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Today has been quite fruitful. Putting aside the previous transactions, just looking at the present, after the conflict, I not only easily obtained the jade slip, but also gained another backer at the Integration Realm.

That's really unexpected!

As for the unusual nature of this jade slip, we'll discuss that when we get back...

With a pleasant feeling, he put away the token and jade slip, then looked at the three women behind him and asked:

"So, are you planning to keep shopping?"

"Let's go shopping! Now that everything's been resolved, why not?" Gu Ximeng had regained her composure, and the two Ye sisters beside her nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's continue then."

Mo Juren naturally had no objections and then accompanied the three women as they continued to stroll around the hall.

Because of the previous conflict, no one dared to provoke the four of them anymore. As a result, the four of them had a great time shopping and spent a lot of spirit stones, buying many good things.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that the four of them finally left, having thoroughly enjoyed themselves...

……

Back at Tianhua Tower, Mo Juren parted ways with the three women and then went alone to his room on the top floor.

He took out the jade slip he had obtained before, and while exploring it, he summoned the auxiliary device.

At this moment, the prompt appeared again on the virtual screen:
"Rare spiritual material 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade' (incomplete), should it be added to the material library?"

"What exactly is the Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade?" Mo Juren murmured to himself.

The auxiliary device immediately gave a prompt when I came into contact with this jade slip in the Tianxuan Palace.

He was naturally overjoyed, thinking that the so-called demonic cultivation techniques were just a facade, and the jade itself was the real treasure.

The problem was that the assistant only gave a simple hint, and he had no idea what this so-called 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade' actually was.

Another point is that the Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade is still incomplete. Does this mean that there are other parts?
After some thought, he thought of Ancestor Chi Yun. The other party lived in the extremely distant ancient times and once stood at the peak of this world. He must know something about him.
Thinking of this, he immediately summoned the other party.

"You brat..." The moment he appeared, Ancestor Chi Yun was speechless. He had just been in a meditative state when he was suddenly pulled out.

Fortunately, he had a strong mind and was prepared in advance; otherwise, anyone else might have immediately gone mad from practicing qi cultivation.

Unfortunately, he couldn't really get angry, so he could only continue asking in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"What happened again?"

"Senior, please take a look at this." Mo Juren did not rush to explain, but instead handed the jade slip to the other party first.

"This..." Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Ancestor Chi Yun was slightly surprised, but he did not ask any questions. Instead, he focused his mind on examining it.

In the blink of an eye, he had finished reading the contents, but unsurprisingly, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"The name 'Heavenly Demon Shattering Star Technique' sounds impressive, but unfortunately it's just a facade. In essence, it's just an ordinary body-refining method for demons."

"If you can't see anything wrong with it, it really is a fake." Mo Juren wasn't too surprised. After all, if the technique really had something unusual, it would have been noticed long ago. How could he have gotten a chance?

He paused, then suddenly changed the subject and asked again,

"Has senior ever heard of the 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade'?"

"Heavens... wait... you mean the Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade..." Upon hearing this name, the ancestor Chi Yun was startled, then suddenly realized something and was greatly alarmed.

"There's hope!" Seeing the other party's expression, Mo Juren was overjoyed and quickly continued to ask questions.

"Does the senior really know?"

"I have indeed heard of him, but only by name." Slowly regaining his composure, Ancestor Chi Yun nodded.

"During my lifetime, there were indeed legends about the 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade' in the cultivation world. It was said that this jade was a key that connected to a place called the 'Ruins Realm'."

But that's all. No one knows how this legend came about, or what the Void Realm is, or what opportunities it holds. Because it's so mysterious, and information about it is scarce, it has gradually faded from public attention…

He paused for a moment, then asked with a curious look,

"How do you know about the 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade'? Have you perhaps seen it before?"

"It was a coincidence, I suppose." Mo Juren smiled, and without beating around the bush, pointed directly to the jade slip in the other person's hand, offering a reminder.
"Just as you predicted, senior, I have indeed seen the so-called 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade,' and it is the very jade slip in your hand."

"This... are you sure? This is the Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade?" Ancestor Chi Yun was surprised again. He quickly picked up the jade slip and examined it carefully, but he couldn't see anything special about it.

Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?

"Although I cannot explain the reason, I can guarantee with absolute certainty that this is indeed the 'Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade'."

"That's it!"

Seeing that the other party was so certain, Patriarch Chi Yun no longer doubted it. Besides, given the current relationship between the two parties, the other party had no reason to lie about such a matter.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the jade slip again and began to examine it. At the same time, his turbid eyes were filled with bursts of blood light, making him look somewhat eerie.

After an unknown amount of time, when he withdrew his divine sense and the bloodlust in his eyes dissipated, his expression had become somewhat meaningful:

"Upon closer inspection, the material of this jade slip does indeed have some special characteristics, such as its hardness, which is far superior to that of ordinary jade."

Secondly, within the jade, there was a faint, almost imperceptible trace of spiritual energy. It was so subtle, so almost nonexistent, that if my divine sense hadn't been so powerful, and if I hadn't used my 'Heavenly Witch Spiritual Eye' ability to observe for a long time, I truly wouldn't have been able to detect it.

"So, this thing really does have something unusual about it?" Mo Juren's anticipation returned.

"Besides these, is there nothing else?"

"Perhaps I am simply not skilled enough, for I have not made any other discoveries." As he spoke, Patriarch Chi Yun handed the jade slip back to the other party.

"I see!" Mo Juren sighed as he fumbled with the jade slip. It seemed that getting more information was impossible, at least not from Ancestor Chi Yun.

However, he was not in a hurry. Now that he had a clue, he could investigate slowly in the future. Perhaps he could find relevant information or ask other people, such as Fairy Xuanming.

More importantly, according to Ancestor Chi Yun, this "Heavenly Ruins Divine Jade" is actually a key that connects to the so-called "Ruins Realm," but it is incomplete.

This also means that there should be other parts. If they cannot be completed, then the Void Realm is nothing but a mirage.

He was naturally very interested in the so-called Void Realm, but there was no use in rushing such things; it all depended on fate, so he could only let nature take its course.

……

As evening fell, Ye Xuechan returned to Tianhua Tower, a smile playing on her lips, clearly indicating that things had gone smoothly.

"Judging from your expression, Senior Dongtian should have agreed?"

"I did agree, but..." Ye Xuechan nodded slightly, but hesitated, and after a long while, she spoke again.
"The 'Heavenly Sound Dharma Assembly' is one of the three major Dharma assemblies of Buddhism, held only once every three hundred years. It is a great opportunity that Buddhist practitioners all over the world can only dream of."

At that time, not only will Buddhist masters at the Integration Realm preach, but the 'Reincarnation Secret Realm' will also be opened, allowing all Buddhist cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to enter and have the opportunity to obtain unimaginable benefits.

"This is such a rare opportunity, Senior Dongtian advised me not to give it up easily, but to participate."

"There should be other preparations, right?" After hearing the explanation, Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged. Sure enough, in the next instant, Ye Xuechan lightly flipped her slender hand and took out a token and a letter.
"To prevent any danger, Senior Dongtian instructed me to take these two items to the Great Compassion Temple to pay respects to Zen Master Kuyue. He is a close friend of mine and can be absolutely trusted. With Zen Master Kuyue's protection, other Buddhist experts would not dare to act rashly even if they had any ill intentions."

"Master Kuyue?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. This was a very famous figure among both the human and demon races, and he had long heard of him.

Dabei Temple is one of the seven major Buddhist sects, and it is the most unconventional sect within the seven major Buddhist sects.

This sect has a very small number of members, with only a little over ten thousand people from elders to disciples. Keep in mind that this is a top-tier sect, and the number is ridiculously small considering the accumulation over countless years.

Although the number of them is small, they are all elites among elites, with top-notch aptitude and comprehension.

The fact that Dabei Temple is among the Seven Great Buddhist Sects demonstrates its formidable strength. Just considering the number of experts at the Integration Realm, it ranks first among the Seven Great Buddhist Sects.

Of course, their overall strength is somewhat weaker, but no one dares to question it.

The Great Compassion Temple practices asceticism. Almost 90% of its disciples leave on their own after formally entering the sect, and travel the world alone. Unless summoned, they will almost never return to the sect in their lifetime.

This is precisely why the main gate of Dabeisi Temple is like a desolate temple in the mountains, quite different from the magnificent temples of other Buddhist sects.

Returning to Zen Master Kuyue, he is the abbot of Dabeisi Temple, at the late stage of the Integration Realm, and practices the top-level secret technique of Buddhism, the "Mahakasyapa Sutra for Salvation," making him renowned in the cultivation world.

It's truly unexpected that such a being could become sworn brothers with the Cave Heaven Rat King. (End of Chapter)
