Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Have you made up your mind?" Composing himself, Mo Juren asked again.

"I certainly don't want to miss such an opportunity, but of course, I will give it up if my lord does not agree." Ye Xuechan did not hide his thoughts and nodded solemnly.

“Since it’s an opportunity, there’s no reason to give it up, and I certainly won’t stop it.” Mo Juren didn’t expect the other party to say that, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

However, things are not that simple; there are still many problems to be solved.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"There is no time to lose. If Your Majesty agrees, I will set off tomorrow."

"So soon? Aren't you going to participate in the auction?"

"I don't have much in urgent need of anything, so there's not much point in participating in the auction. It's better to get to Dabeisi Temple as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications."

"I see..." Mo Juren nodded slightly, then paused, his expression suddenly becoming extremely solemn.

"As far as I know, Dabei Temple is located deep in the Wuwang Mountains in the northern region of Tianling Realm. It is an extremely remote place, still tens of millions of miles away from the nearest teleportation point."

Furthermore, the 'Wuwang Mountain Range' is a notoriously dangerous and perilous place, inhabited by countless demonic beasts of all kinds, whose strength is extremely terrifying. Let alone an ordinary cultivator who has just entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and is not skilled in combat, even a Void Refinement stage expert would have a very high chance of perishing if they entered it!"

"I am naturally aware of this, and Senior Dongtian has also explained that the existence of a large number of demonic beasts in the Wuwang Mountains is the result of the 'Dabei Temple's' deliberate indulgence, or rather, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is keeping them in captivity."

In this way, the monsters naturally formed a barrier.

Of course, this only applies to outsiders. It has no effect on those inside the Dabeisi Temple. As long as they carry the token, they will not be hindered from entering.

For example, the disciples of the Great Compassion Temple, wielding their sect's tokens, would cause demonic beasts to automatically retreat, and even provide protection when needed. As she spoke, Ye Xuechan shook the token in her hand again.
"This is it, and it's the highest-level one. Only elders at the Integration Realm are qualified to possess it. With this token in hand, the demonic beasts in the Wuwang Mountains can be completely ignored."

"So that's how it is!" Mo Juren suddenly realized. Thinking about it, it made sense. How could the 'Wuwang Mountain Range', as the headquarters of the Great Compassion Temple, allow a large number of enemy-type demonic beasts to exist around it?
So it turns out they were deliberately kept in captivity, which makes sense now. But the Great Compassion Temple really has a lot of magnanimity, keeping so many high-level demonic beasts in captivity without worrying about being devoured!
What confidence that is!

However, he remained vigilant and changed the subject again.

"Leaving aside the dangers in the Wuwang Mountains, there are still tens of millions of miles between the teleportation point and the mountains. It may not seem far, but at your speed, it will still take several months."

You should be clear about your own situation. If you encounter someone with ulterior motives intercepting you halfway, the outcome will likely be dire.

"Is Your Majesty worried about Ximen Feng..." Ye Xuechan's expression shifted.

“It’s not just him!” Mo Juren shook his head slightly.

"Since the Great Thunder Sound Sect was able to pinpoint your location so precisely, it's clear how terrifying their intelligence capabilities are. If they were so inclined, they would probably have detected you as soon as you left Tianyuan City."

What if they attack directly? With your current strength, you have no chance of resisting. In the end, you might not even reach the 'Boundless Mountains' before losing your freedom.

"This..." Ye Xuechan really hadn't thought of this, and was a little dumbfounded.

As the other party said, if that being from the Great Thunderclap Sect was always watching from the shadows, she would probably not remain indifferent if she were alone.

The journey from the Heavenly Spirit Realm teleportation point to the Boundless Mountains is tens of millions of miles, and at my current speed, it would take at least three months.

That's plenty of time; anyone can take their time to act.

This is also the fault of Dabei Temple. As one of the seven major Buddhist sects and a top-tier sect, why did it choose to set up its mountain gate in such a desolate place? It's too unconventional.

"Then... what should we do?" Faced with this thorny situation, Ye Xuechan had no other choice but to turn to his master for help.

"This journey is far too dangerous; even my personal escort wouldn't be enough," Mo Juren sighed, then continued.

"You should go and rest. I'll think of a way to find a powerful expert at the Integration Realm to help us. Only in this way can we truly ensure that nothing goes wrong."

There's one more thing he didn't mention: today in the Tai Xuan Hall, he completely broke ties with Ximen Guang, and Ximen Guang is probably watching his every move.

Once you leave Tianyuan City, you will also face danger. In this situation, you will not be able to protect yourself, let alone escort others.
“If there is really no other way, my lord, there is no need to force yourself. At worst, I will not participate in the Heavenly Sound Dharma Assembly!” Ye Xuechan was well aware of the difficulty of this matter and immediately expressed his opinion.

This pleased Mo Juren greatly; putting aside everything else, at least this attitude was very satisfying.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Go down now, and I'll let you know when things are settled."

"Subordinates retire."

Ye Xuechan bowed respectfully, then turned and left, leaving Mo Juren alone, sitting in his seat deep in thought. Logically speaking, his own strength was already comparable to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, and he possessed many trump cards; he wouldn't be afraid even facing a late-stage Void Refinement expert.

Putting everything else aside, Zi Dian alone has now reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Even so, he still felt that it was not safe for him to personally escort her.

The feud with the Ximen family is only one aspect; the key is that Ye Xuechan's 'Seven Fragrance Glazed Body' is too special. Who knows what kind of being has its eyes on her?
What if he's a powerful expert at the Integration Realm? It's not impossible. Even if he isn't, he wouldn't be that bad. If he also has a powerful background, then it will be even more troublesome.

It was precisely because of these complex circumstances that he felt it was the safest course of action to invite a Nascent Soul Realm expert to escort him.

Of course, if he couldn't find it, he would have to go there himself, but that would be too risky and not in line with his cautious nature.

That being said, inviting a Nascent Soul Realm expert to help protect you is no easy task; most people wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

As for himself, it wouldn't be difficult under other circumstances. After all, there are four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the cave right now. As long as he asks, such a small matter is naturally not a problem.

Unfortunately, the timing is not right. These individuals are all currently in a slump, busy cultivating and recovering, and even if they wanted to help, they are powerless to do so.

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Spirit Sword Valley after all!" Putting his thoughts aside, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh. He did know other experts at the Integration Realm, but clearly, they were of no use to him either.

The only option now is to go to Fairy Fengyu. As a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and one of the elders of Tianyuan City, her connections are far beyond what he can compare to.

Whether he takes action himself or invites a powerful expert of the same level to help, it is much easier than for him.

The only frustrating thing is that he had previously thought he should try to owe the other party as little as possible, but now it seems he is owing them more and more favors.

You should know that if the other party hadn't invited Fairy Silver Light to save him in time at the Tai Xuan Palace today, given Ximen Guang's cunning, he would probably be in grave danger.

The saying goes, "The more debts you have, the less you worry." Since you already owe so much, it doesn't matter if you owe even more.

Mo Juren, on the contrary, took it easy. At worst, he would do his best to help the other party if they needed anything in the future.

Once he understood these things, he stopped worrying about it.

Considering that the 'Heavenly Sound Dharma Assembly' would begin in six months and there wasn't much time, he naturally didn't intend to delay. He immediately left his cave and headed straight for the Spirit Sword Valley outside the city.

……

"I shouldn't have saved you during the day, and now you're causing me trouble again." Inside the cave, after hearing Mo Juren's purpose, Fairy Fengyu scolded him irritably.

"I had no choice, after all, those people are still recovering from their injuries, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you again." Hearing the other party's reproach, Mo Juren could only smile helplessly.

"I must have owed you something in my past life." Fairy Phoenix Feather glared at the other person again, but suddenly her bright eyes flashed, and she changed the subject.

"It's actually the legendary 'Seven Fragrance Glazed Body'! You really have incredible luck to have encountered this. Besides, you should be aware of the special nature of this physique. Didn't you ever have any designs on it?"

"Senior is too kind. I can be ruthless and morally indiscriminate when dealing with enemies, but I would never do such despicable things as 'bullying the weak' or 'taking advantage of others' when they are on my side.'" Mo Juren said solemnly, and his words immediately touched Fairy Fengyu's heart.

If someone else had said this, she might have had some doubts, but with the man in front of her, she truly believed him because she had experienced it firsthand.

Like Ye Xuechan, she also possesses the legendary special physique, the 'Tai Su Immortal Body,' which is also a top-tier dual cultivation body, and its effects may be even greater.

During my trip to the far north, such a change occurred, and I was powerless to resist, like a lamb to the slaughter placed before my opponent.

That's not just a matter of physical constitution; it can also make a mere Integration Realm expert completely submit.

What a temptation!
However, the other party did not hesitate at all and refused outright.

This one incident alone is enough to prove her character, and that experience left an indelible mark on her heart.

Otherwise, why would she have helped the other party time and time again in the days that followed?

"You should know perfectly well what the Seven Fragrance Glazed Body is all about. Are you sure you want that girl to go to the Heavenly Sound Dharma Assembly? Aren't you worried about problems arising?" Regaining her composure, Fairy Phoenix Feather asked again.

"Of course I'm worried, and I really didn't plan to let him participate. But since Senior Dongtian has given the suggestion, he must be confident," Mo Juren said suddenly, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Does Senior know anything about that Zen Master Kuyue?" (End of Chapter)
