Therefore, the eldest brother and all the junior brothers supported him, and no one felt that the eldest brother was unworthy; they all respected him in their hearts.
Chapter 602: The Sect Leader's Father? Disaster Strikes Out of the Sky! (Please Subscribe)
Fang Liangxuan, who was called Junior Brother Fang, pushed open the door and walked in, smiling before he even spoke.
"Senior Brother, Elder Fang of the Xuanwu Hall has asked all inner disciples to gather at the training ground. It seems there's something to announce, so I've come to inform you."
Elder Fang of the Xuanwu Hall is Fang Liangxuan's father, so it can be inferred that the sect leader is Li Mo's father.
Because he entered the sect before all the other disciples, Li Mo was called Senior Brother by everyone.
Li Mo stood up and followed Fang Liangxuan outside.
They are currently living in room 06, which is the dormitory for inner disciples. They all look pretty much the same, but at least they are single rooms, so they don't have to squeeze in with others. In addition to inner disciples, there are naturally outer disciples as well.
Of course, there are also personal disciples, who are taught individually by the various leaders of the sect.
Both in terms of aptitude and cultivation, he is the best among all the disciples.
After making inquiries over the past few days, Li Mo has learned that when he first joined the sect, he was the personal disciple of the previous sect leader. At that time, his father, who was arranged to be the sect leader, was not yet the sect leader.
The sect leader was the senior brother of Li Mo's nominal father, and at that time, Li Mo was still assessed as having excellent aptitude.
It wasn't a long time ago, only fourteen years ago, when Li Mo was four years old.
And the name of this body has not changed; it is still called Li Mo.
Li Mo had overheard several versions of what happened back then, and after sorting them out, he felt that the most likely version was that a powerful demon with a thousand-year cultivation had broken into their sect, Yunqi Sect.
This cultivator from the demon realm, who was at a bottleneck in his advancement, set his sights on the spiritual energy pool, the founding treasure of their Yunqi Sect.
This spiritual energy pool is located on their sect's spiritual vein. The two complement and nourish each other; the absence of either one will cause the other to dry up.
Whether it's the depletion of spiritual veins or the depletion of spiritual energy pools, this is a matter of severing the root of the problem.
So the sect leader at that time, who was also Li Mo's master, led two thousand members of his sect in a fierce battle against that great demon cultivator, a battle that raged until the sun and moon were obscured.
If it were the current Yunqi Sect, it might not have suffered such a calamity of being wiped out.
If anyone is to blame, it's the previous generation, specifically Li Mo's master's master. Yunqi Sect was originally a major sect with a history of thousands of years.
Before Master Li Mo's generation had fully matured, the previous generation had gone into the secret realm for training and none of them emerged, so the lineage was interrupted.
It must be because there are no elders in the family that misfortune comes from nowhere.
As for what exactly happened in the secret realm back then, whether it was by chance or human intervention, there are all sorts of theories, and in Li Mo's opinion, it's hard to say.
Anyway, that was a matter from the generation before last. To get back to the point, it's because none of the most powerful members of the 730th generation of the sect came out of the secret realm.
Therefore, Yunqi Sect's spiritual energy pool attracted envy, and that powerful demon cultivator was bold enough to directly attack the sect, attempting to seize it. Li Mo's master was also forced to become the sect leader.
Li Mo had heard that they were going to lose, since these disciples who hadn't yet grown up were no match for the great demons who had cultivated for a thousand years in terms of strength.
After arrogantly injuring everyone, the powerful demon cultivator swaggered into the spiritual energy pool.
Finally, Li Mo's master, who still had some strength to resist, blocked his path, which angered the great demon cultivator, who then ruthlessly killed him.
Chapter 603: Did it really happen? Or is it just a setting from a survival game? (Please customize)
It is said that the ancestors who were able to rival the cultivation of great demon cultivators all went into seclusion and did not concern themselves with worldly affairs.
Some cultivators wander the mortal world and are not in the sect, so if a powerful demon cultivator were to enter the spiritual energy pool to break through, their Yunqi Sect would truly be game over.
Li Mo's master, the previous sect leader, had already accepted Li Mo as his personal disciple.
So when four-year-old Li Mo saw his master being severely injured by a powerful demon cultivator, he rushed over immediately.
It is said that Li Mo's aptitude was so exceptional that the ancestors bestowed upon him many life-saving treasures when he became an apprentice. At the age of four, Li Mo had already begun to cultivate spiritual energy, so he possessed spiritual power within his body.
He rushed forward and stood in front of the former sect leader, activating several protective shields to block the great demon cultivator's previous killing move.
The shattered magical artifacts saved the life of the former sect leader, and with the last bit of spiritual power, they activated the last remaining offensive magical artifact.
This magical artifact contained the full force of the ancestor's attack, which repelled the powerful demon cultivator at the time, leaving him severely injured.
Four-year-old Li Mo took out an ordinary magical artifact to scare the injured demon.
He used a clever ruse to scare away the powerful demon cultivator, but at the same time, he also absorbed the full force of the demon cultivator's attack.
His foundation was damaged, and he could no longer continue cultivating.
This was a sensational event in the cultivation world back then, as a four-year-old child saved the entire sect.
Later, when the ancestor returned from his travels, he killed that powerful demon cultivator.
After this incident, without the patriarch in charge, the other sects and individuals in the cultivation world who were eager to make a move dared not have any other ideas.
Who knows if Yunqi Sect will produce another child as powerful as this?
Because of this incident, Yunqi Sect became famous and developed into the influential cultivation sect it is today. However, the only thing that the world regrets is the loss of the original cultivation genius, Li Mo.
Of course, Li Mo doesn't feel anything right now.
He didn't know if this was a setting given to him by the survival game, or if it was something real that happened in the body he was currently using. In any case, what happened before had nothing to do with Li Mo.
He listened to it as just a story.
As for why his nominal father is now the sect leader, that's even simpler.
Because Li Mo's master was seriously injured and had been in seclusion to heal, Li Mo's injuries were too severe due to his young age.
Nothing has fully grown yet, so there's nothing that can be done about the damaged foundation. The only thing to do is to heal the external wounds and wait for Li Mo to recover slowly using his own healing abilities.
Whether he can embark on the path of cultivation again in this lifetime, no one knows.
However, because of the foundation I built up when I was a child, it's not a problem for me to draw Qi back into my body. Even so, if it takes me four years to draw Qi back into my body, I can forget about advancing any further in my cultivation.
He can't even control his spiritual energy to fly, so you can imagine what's going on.
Li Mo arrived at the training ground on Junior Brother Fang's flying sword. Many disciples were already waiting there. When they saw Li Mo arrive, they greeted him, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Fang."
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Fang, you've arrived! Come here quickly!"
The person who greeted them was Junior Brother Fang, who had been standing with Li Mo on the cliff edge.
Chapter 604: A Sense of Loss? A Trip Down the Mountain to Clear One's Head or to Gain Experience? (Please Submit Your Own Work)
This junior brother Fang and the junior brother Fang Liangxuan who brought Li Mo here are brothers.
They are both sons of Elder Fang of Xuanwu Hall, except that Fang Liangxuan is the youngest son, while this junior brother Fang is called Fang Liangtian, who is the eldest.
Li Mo looked at the disciples around him and stood quietly at the front.
This was the first time he had seen so many junior brothers since he arrived here. He also noticed that he was the only one called the eldest senior brother, but there were no second or third senior brothers.
The other disciples all used the method of addressing each other by their names followed by "senior brother" or "junior brother," so Li Mo felt that perhaps he was just too special.
However, it was clear that these junior brothers did not look down on him.
Instead, they felt both admiration and regret.
Li Mo was never the Li Mo who saved the sect, nor did he ever experience the feeling of being a genius.
He had never practiced any martial arts; he was just an ordinary person who at most improved his physical fitness through survival games.
So he didn't feel any sense of loss, but he could sense that the original Li Mo seemed to have some.
Because he had rarely interacted with anyone these past few days, and hadn't even gone out much, no one seemed to find it strange. Instead, they comforted and took care of him quite skillfully, which gave Li Mo some idea of who it was.
"Is everyone here? Quiet!"
The sound in his ear brought Li Mo back to his senses, and he realized that a burly man was standing on the high platform in front of the reception desk.
Even under layers of clothing, his strong muscles were still visible.
His muscles weren't the kind that were specifically sculpted and trained, so they were very well-proportioned and powerful. His skin wasn't dark, though it was darker compared to the fair-skinned disciples.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his late thirties, with a refined demeanor, dressed appropriately and very clean.
He didn't have the long beard that was common among people of ancient times, and although his eyes weren't large, they were bright and piercing. His overall demeanor was clean and neat.
His voice was quite different from his appearance; it was rather gentle. His face bore some resemblance to the two junior brothers Fang, so he must be Elder Fang, the person in charge of the Xuanwu Hall.
"I have gathered you all here today to announce something important. You are all inner disciples. Although you do not need to go through the disciple selection competition, you will still have to undergo certain assessments."
As soon as Elder Fang finished speaking, dozens of disciples in the square began to whisper among themselves.
"Ahem, everyone be quiet. I haven't said anything yet. We can discuss it later."
Once the surroundings quieted down again, Elder Fang continued, "We just received news from the outer disciples down the mountain that demons have appeared in Chenjia Town, and there are quite a few of them. It is estimated that there are seven of them in this group, so you should go back and prepare to go down the mountain to exorcise them."
After Elder Fang finished speaking, he paused for a moment and noticed that the disciples below did not whisper to each other this time.
Nodding in satisfaction, he smiled and said, "This time, we'll be going down the mountain in small groups, with a minimum of five people per group. Everyone else, except those who are about to break through or going into seclusion, can go out and relax. Form your own groups and go!"
When Elder Fang was talking about relaxing, Li Mo noticed that he glanced at him specifically.
After saying this, Elder Fang waved his sleeve and said again, as if urging people to leave, "Let's go, go and prepare!"
Just as Li Mo turned to leave, he heard Elder Fang call out to him from behind: "Li Mo, wait a moment, go to the sect leader later, the sect leader is looking for you!"
Chapter 605: Finally Meeting the Sect Leader! The Test Questions? (Please Submit)
Fang Liangxuan and Fang Liangtian, brothers, became Li Mo's temporary followers. Elder Fang conscripted them and assigned them the task of escorting Li Mo to see the sect leader.
After this experience, Li Mo finally understood.
Why was the previous owner of this body so determined to learn how to fly using qi?
In this cultivation sect where people can fly, not knowing how to fly is such a troublesome thing. Perhaps if he really can't learn it, he can study a means of transportation.
While Li Mo was pondering this, they had already arrived at the sect leader's office, the council hall.
Upon reaching the entrance, the Fang brothers did not go in but stopped at the door.
Li Mo walked in by himself. It seemed that they knew he was coming. There was no one inside except for Li Mo's father, the sect leader.
"Mo'er, have you received the news about going down the mountain?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked about the same age as Elder Fang, but with an added scholarly air about him, which Li Mo found quite novel.
In this world of cultivation, a scholarly air is a rare sight.
At least none of the inner disciples who gathered earlier had any.
Li Mo didn't know how to address his sect leader, but he believed that the survival game made him feel a sense of identification, so any way of addressing him would be appropriate.
So Li Mo boldly replied, "Sect Leader, Elder Fang already said it's a mission to subdue demons down the mountain. Shall I go too?"
