Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 498 Choice
Hexu Mountain is as lush and green as usual, but it is now more peaceful and tranquil.

Chen Mu and the other person walked straight ahead until they arrived at the solemn retreat cave.

The door of the mansion has been closed and has not been opened for ten years. If it were not for the occasional subtle fluctuations coming from inside, Gao Xiaoqing would have been unable to contain his anxiety and would have opened the door to take a look.

When it comes to the bottleneck of forming an infant, everyone has different focuses. Some people can form an infant right away, which means they have extremely deep foundation.

Some people need to seclude themselves for years, searching for that opportunity to conceive.

Solemnity is obviously the second type.

In fact, with his qualifications, he shouldn't take this second path...

Chen Mu had only a vague idea of ​​why he was so anxious. He only knew that it was the intention of Patriarch Tianxing.

Chen Mu did not move for a long time, looking at the traces of ink splashed on the gate of the mansion, as if he was expressing his true feelings before a solemn retreat.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening..."

From this we can see the solemn heart of seeking the truth, the painstaking efforts, and the endless search!
Chen Mu sighed, full of admiration.

After a long silence, he bowed respectfully in front of the cave, then suddenly seemed to sense something and looked back into the distance.

Gao Xiaoqing had been following behind him and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, saying, "The ancestor is looking for me, I'll go there, Junior Sister, you can go back first."

Gao Xiaoqing couldn't follow him after hearing this, so she could only nod and agree, saying softly, "Okay, Junior Sister, we'll go to Yunze Island later..."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, then took off and left in the blink of an eye.

Now he can escape at an extremely fast speed, like a breeze and flying clouds, which is completely different from the past. It didn't take long before he reached the top of Tianxingdao Mountain.

Because the ancestor had made preparations in advance, he went straight ahead, passing through palaces and temples without encountering any restrictions.

He didn't stop until he reached the depths of the palace complex. He walked into the main hall with a smile on his face. Turning his head, he saw that Taoist Tianxing had already taken the first seat and was looking at him with a smile.

Below him was a figure in a white robe, with a sheathed sword at his side. It was none other than Tianguang Zhenren, the leader of Fushan Changhe.

"Greetings to the ancestor and the master." Chen Mu bowed.

Tianguang Zhenren smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Junior Brother Chen's coming out of seclusion this time has truly brought great fame to our sect!"

Taoist Tian Xing also smacked his lips and asked, "How's it going? Have you resolved your killing intent?"

In fact, he could see without Chen Mu saying anything that Chen Mu at this moment did not show any signs of being corrupted by murderous intent.

He asked this question just to save face.

After all, the news that came back ten years ago was that Chen Mu helped Baoguang Temple to obtain the inheritance of the True Buddha Taoism, and also killed several Buddhist golden elixirs for this, including Lei Qi from the Great Leiyin Temple.

It was he who pushed Chen Mu to the Great Leiyin Temple, but who knew that it would turn out like that in the end.

He's not stupid either. Chen Mu is fighting someone to the death, so there must be something else going on...

Chen Mu's expression straightened, and he spoke in a calm voice, "Thanks to the guidance of the ancestor, I have finally succeeded... However, I have offended Master Kongjie of the Great Leiyin Temple, and my ancestor's kindness has been wasted."

After saying this, he explained the reason clearly to Patriarch Tianxing.

After a moment, Taoist Tianxing's face fell, and he angrily scolded: "That old monk is so ungrateful. I treated him so well back then, but he even didn't let my disciples go. Are they really in need of monks?" Taoist Tianguang shook his head and smiled at Chen Mu, letting him scold for a while, and then said: "Nephew Chen, I see that your realm has improved again. What are your plans for returning to the mountain this time?"

Before he finished speaking, he continued, "If you are willing, the ancestor and I both want you to be appointed as the master of Xuanzhi Peak, in charge of the selection of all disciples of the sect..."

Xuanzhi Peak is located to the east of the mountain gate. It is the place where the disciples of Fushan Changhe come to ask for advice. No matter whether they want to join the mountain gate or be promoted to the true teachings, they need the seal of the mountain master, otherwise they will not be accepted.

Speaking of which, the power of the master of this peak is very great, even the True Man Huohong of Xuyan Peak is inferior to him.

However, he was just a young cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. The fact that he was favored by the ancestor and the sect leader must have other reasons.

Chen Mu kept thinking in his mind, and finally he turned his confusion to his master.

If his guess was correct, the two ancestors must have made this decision out of consideration for Zhuang Yan's face.

Thinking of this, he became even more curious about why his master had hurriedly gone into seclusion to seek the birth of a newborn...

However, judging from the attitudes of the ancestor and the headmaster, they had no intention of letting him know the reason.

He pondered for a long time, stopped thinking about random things, and began to weigh the pros and cons of taking up the position at the mountain gate.

If one accepts this assignment, the first thing that will come to mind is an improvement in status, both internally and externally. After all, Xuanzhi Peak is also one of the most important Taoist mountains in the Fushan Mountains.

As for resources and other benefits, needless to say, there will be no shortage of them.

But everything in the world has its pros and cons. If you gain many benefits, you will always lose something.

If I became the master of Xuanzhi Peak, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to practice hard in seclusion as often as I want...

It stands to reason that when one is still for a long time, one will want to move. After Chen Mu has been in seclusion for ten years, he should want to make some noise.

But the reality is not quite like that. He can already feel the time for his breakthrough, and he wants to achieve it in one go.

In addition, he really has no shortage of resources at this time. Xinyi and Lei Qi have many treasures in their storage bags. If they are exchanged for cultivation resources one by one, it is estimated that it will be enough to support him to reach the realm of perfection of the Golden Core.

More importantly, he also found a fourth-order tortoise shell in Lei Qi's storage bag. That is a demon material equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm. If it is auctioned, it may be exchanged for millions of spirit stones!
Of course, Chen Mu would not easily sell such a precious item.

But this also shows that he is not short of cultivation resources for the time being, but rather lacks some time to convert these resources into his own cultivation.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said with a bow, "To be honest with you, Old Ancestor, Sect Leader, I have recently gained some insights. I may only have ten years to achieve a breakthrough. This opportunity is rare, so I will soon be in seclusion to practice. I am not qualified to be the Mountain Master..."

Taoist Tianxing nodded and smiled. Perhaps he had guessed it long ago, so he didn't react much in surprise.

The head of the sect sighed, and seemed to be quite sorry about Chen Mu's choice.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you to do anything. I'll just wish you great success!"

"Also, if my nephew wishes to practice in seclusion, I'm afraid your Yunze Island won't be enough to support him. So please accept this talisman and use it to enter Nanming Mountain to practice..."

Chen Mu agreed with a smile, and chatted with the two of them for a while before bowing and saying goodbye.

Afterwards, he left the hall and a cloud of smoke rose from the ground, swirling upwards and disappearing in a moment.

Tianxing and the other two looked up at the sky, sighing in their hearts that their younger generation was quick-witted, decisive in making decisions, and always made amazing moves.

The last time it appeared before the public was in the Xuantian Secret Land, and the final results were enough to prove that the benefits it gained far exceeded previous expectations...
