Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Jiang Mo spoke casually, saying that if he hadn't been extracting fragments of memory along the way to broaden his experience, he could have been even more efficient.

"You are indeed amazing. I was foolish and underestimated your divine power."

"Senior, you are amazing! I never thought that you would single-handedly quell such a huge disaster."

Yu Huai and the head of the R&D department were full of praise, and the pressure on them at the front line was immediately relieved.

"You two are both quite old, there's no need for you to flatter me."

"That's enough for now, we'll talk more later."

Jiang Mo ended the conversation, took off the ring, and returned it to Ning He.

"No...please...spare my life..."

"I swear I will never cause you any trouble."

Lingyun Daoist's face was ashen. Hearing that he was to be imprisoned, he became even more desperate and could only beg for mercy.

Amidst his terrified gaze, Jiang Mo spoke in a cold, condescending voice:

"I swear as well."

"I will definitely make trouble for you."

"Lock him up and guard him here. Don't let him escape!"

At Ning He's command, a swordsman stepped forward, piercing Lingyun Jushi's collarbone with a sword and striking his temple with a palm, knocking him unconscious. He then removed Lingyun Jushi's whisk and severed the meridians in his limbs, sealing his dantian with a secret technique, ensuring he would never be able to recover.

Chapter 387 The Origin of the Trinity Sect, Who Possesses the Nation's Most Powerful Weapon

4 points in the early hours.

Xian Shu was arranged to rest in the pharmacy, where he was looked after by Chang Qing and several young disciples. He was sleeping soundly and there were no abnormalities.

The third gate, the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository.

After resolving the riot at Kuhai Prison, Jiang Mo returned to his sect to await news from Yu Huai.

Soft moonlight streamed through the window onto the wooden floor, like a blanket of silver frost. Wisps of white steam rose from the teapot on the coffee table, releasing a refreshing and pleasant aroma. The clear, bright lamplight illuminated three slender figures.

Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen were both present and had already learned of their Uncle's plan to attack Taiqing Palace. They seemed thoughtful and their expressions were solemn. Unconsciously, the tea they drank turned bitter and tasted like chewing wax.

"Uncle-Master, how confident are you about the success of this trip?"

Chengzhen put down his teacup and asked slowly.

"It's hard to say, I've never dealt with those land-based deities."

Jiang Mo truthfully told the reporter that before setting off, he felt exceptionally calm and had no signs of unease.

Judging from the strength displayed by that Lingyun Daoist, the elites of their Taiqing Palace are probably in the range of the first or second level of the third level of reverse rebirth cultivation.

If we stack them up higher, elders, sect leaders, and even grand elders, ancestors, and founders could be beings who can contend with those at the 4th to 6th tier.

Jiang Mo was not afraid of this at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

Over the long years, the number of powerful enemies qualified to fight him head-on has dwindled. Standing almost at the pinnacle of humanity, he can't even find an opponent of similar rank. Now that he has a rare opportunity, how could he let it slip by?

Moreover, Jiang Mo learned from Yu Huai that there were at least seven or eight other secluded forces that were more powerful than Taiqing Palace.

Even stronger beings are lurking in corners he can't see. If he doesn't seize this opportunity to find out the gap between them, it will be too late when they all emerge, prey on the people, and control the country.

As the number one sect in the secular Xuanmen (Taoist sects), along with many other renowned sects with a history spanning thousands of years, the Sanyi sect was definitely among the first to be impacted.

Jiang Mo didn't want to wait, nor did he want to be passive, so he decided to personally go to the secret realm of Taiqing Palace and wreak havoc to see if he could break their protective mountain formation.

"Uncle-Master, may I accompany you? I am willing to lend you a hand."

Chengzhen bowed with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and spoke with a bow.

His Reverse Life Mystic Fate was refined to perfection, reaching the peak of the second rank, and he felt that he was no less than the terrestrial immortals in the secret realm.

“You are the head of the family, you absolutely cannot go with me.”

Jiang Mo shook his head in refusal, and said earnestly:

"If you're not here, I won't have to worry about anything. I can come and go as I please; the people there can't force me to stay."

"Furthermore, if you also leave, the entire sect will lose its backbone. Senior Brother is breaking through his cultivation, and we don't know when he will succeed. Jin'er is in charge of the Security Council. If she encounters a Level 5 Awakened, she may not be able to handle it. We will need your help."

"..."

"I understand what you mean."

Chengzhen, being clever and quick-witted, knew that Jiang Mo would not allow her to follow, so she simply stopped asking and instead offered a heartfelt reminder:

"The secret realm is fraught with danger; you must be careful."

"Ah."

Jiang Mo nodded in agreement, took a sip of tea, and continued to wait.

A quarter of an hour later, two figures suddenly appeared from the distant mountains and forests; Zhuge Yu had returned with Yu Huai.

"What's your thought?"

Jiang Mo gestured for the two to sit down, and Lu Jin poured tea for them.

"Uncle-Master, please heed my advice: it's best not to go to Taiqing Palace for now."

Yu Huai, carrying a laptop, sat down and hurriedly typed in commands, saying:

"I feel there are some more important things I should tell you, so please take a look."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Jiang Mo never used his seniority to intimidate others. He was always gentle, humble, and good at listening to the opinions of his disciples and followers.

"Hold on."

"Da da da!!!"

Yu Huai's slender fingers flew across the keyboard, typing and inputting commands to parse the compressed file.

Chengzhen and Lu Jin couldn't help but look puzzled. What exactly happened?

Even Zhuge Liang, who went to meet them and followed them back, looked rather unwell, with a preoccupied expression. If they hadn't spent most of their lives together, they wouldn't have noticed.

In about two minutes, Yu Huai finished all the complicated procedures, right-clicked, and played a video on the computer with a caption:

"Uncle-Master, fellow disciples, what you are about to see may overturn your understanding. Please be prepared."

"it is good."

Chengzhen's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the screen.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a world shrouded in mist and deathly stillness. The video was taken from an extremely high angle, nearly 300 meters above the ground.

The deafening roar of the engines propelled the towering mechs forward with heavy, slow steps, as they explored this unknown realm.

"Roar--!"

“Gugu!! Gugu!!”

The roars of various mysterious beasts echoed from the deep fog, as if their territory had been invaded, and they had become agitated and frantic upon smelling the unfamiliar metallic scent.

Even so, the massive mech, nearly 300 meters tall, was a terrifying monster. The enormous eyes that shone in the mist stopped in their tracks, letting out fierce screams and hissing sounds, but ultimately dared not approach.

The mech continued its advance, its right arm shooting out a dazzling beam of light that dispelled the fog and illuminated the rugged path ahead. There, they saw a winding, treacherous mountain range, its surface shattered, as if it had witnessed a horrific battle long ago.

"Boom!!!"

After traveling several kilometers, a majestic and magnificent stone tablet gradually appeared, hundreds of meters long, standing straight like a divine sword piercing through the heavens and the earth.

As the mecha moved, the distance between the two continued to shrink, and the captured images became clearer and clearer. It was vaguely visible that most of the stone tablet had been destroyed and was teetering in the wind and rain. Despite the erosion of countless years, three ancient and incomplete characters were still engraved on the stone tablet.

"Three...one...door"

A vertical and sharp sword blade cleaved down from top to bottom, stretching for nearly a hundred meters, splitting the central "一" (one) in two, almost shattering the monument.

Behind the stone tablet lies a desolate wasteland, with terrifying sword marks and fist imprints piercing the ground for thousands of meters, or smashing out huge, dark craters.

Boundless malevolent energy lingered in this gloomy forbidden zone, accompanied by howling winds. In the blur, one could see floating souls flitting by and then vanishing in an instant. Suddenly, angry roars resounded from the ends of the earth, shaking the wind and clouds, with continuous crimson lightning pouring down on the earth.

The mech responsible for exploring the secret realm sensed the danger and tried to retreat, but it was too late. Its location was only a hundred meters away from the stone tablet. In the distant past, this place may have been the mountain gate of the Trinity Gate ruins.

The world changed drastically, the wind howled, and the rain poured down. The cries grew increasingly mournful, like the sobbing and wailing of an old man, broken and intermittent.

In the next instant, a giant handprint appeared in the vast void, instantly locking onto the location of the mecha. It seemed to contain boundless rage and suddenly pressed down.

"Boom!!!"

A palm that blotted out the sky pressed down, stretching for thousands of meters. The surrounding space trembled violently, and the gale howled. The indescribable pressure cracked the ground even before it got close.

With no way to avoid it, the mech rapidly gathered a beam of particle energy in its chest and clashed back.

"Boom!!!"

A dazzling light enveloped the entire world, followed by a terrifying explosion and the crisp sound of metal parts disintegrating and colliding.

The screen went black, and the video finished playing.

"This was a Class A mech used for exploring secret realms. Just yesterday, it was involved in an accident and was totaled..."

"The secret realm is currently sealed off; only I and a few of my deputies who are fighting on the front lines know this..."

"The mech's bio-energy detector has an effective range of 30km. We encountered many strange beasts with strong life energy fluctuations in the mountains outside the stone tablet, but behind the stone tablet... there were none, not a single living creature."

Yu Huai was filled with sorrow and dejection. He explored the secret realm and found his own entrance, which had become ruins, haunted by vengeful spirits. He had also lost a national treasure as a result. One can imagine how terrible he felt.

Jiang Mo, Cheng Zhen, Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu and others each showed different expressions. The irrefutable evidence in front of them undoubtedly showed that their lineage was not a unique inheritance in the human world. In fact, it was highly likely that they were the branch!

That towering stone tablet, hundreds of meters high, was so magnificent, yet it was only used to carve the name of the sect. Not to mention the buildings and sacred sites within the sect, one can imagine that they were once extremely glorious.

What is the origin of the Trinity Sect in the secret realm, and how did it perish?

What is the connection between the mortal Sanyi Sect and this? Was the loss of the Sanyi True Dharma due to a break in its lineage, or because it was never truly possessed?

In the deafening silence, Jiang Mo, Cheng Zhen, and the others already had their answers.

Since the time of the patriarch, none of his disciples over the past thousand years have ever entered the third level of enlightenment. This alone is enough to explain the problem.

The fact that the founder of the sect did not pass on the true teachings to his disciples suggests that the founder might even have been a disciple who escaped from the secret realm, or someone who learned the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique by chance.

The sect originated in the secret realm. The ancient corpse that Jiang Mo found in the desolate temple in the icy plains during his travels was most likely the last surviving member of the Sanyi Sect.

“Uncle-Master, this secret realm is severely damaged and has lost the control of its original owner, causing it to revert to its innate characteristics and become unpredictable. Moreover, there are signs that it will close soon. I think that compared with its importance, the matter of Taiqing Palace can be postponed for a while.”

Yu Huai offered his advice again, hoping to keep his martial uncle, even though both things were risky.

If he had to choose between the two, he didn't want his uncle to attack Taiqing Palace, and he was also certain that his uncle was more likely to care about the origins of the sect.

Chapter 388 Jiang Mo's Choice: Unveiling the Prelude to War

Upon hearing that the secret realm was about to close, Chengzhen, Lu Jin, and the others became even more restless.

They had heard before that these unclaimed secret realms appeared at unpredictable locations and times, and if they missed it this time, they didn't know when they would see it again. They all cast hopeful glances at Jiang Mo.

"Recently?"

"Give me a specific timeframe, how long it will take, and a precise number."

Jiang Mo frowned as he said that he was also weighing the priorities between the two.

Although there are many powerful disciples under the sect, compared to the Taiqing Palace where several terrestrial immortals coexist, and the power sealed in the ruins of the Sanyi Sect that can destroy Class A mechs with a single palm strike, it would still be too dangerous to send Chengzhen, Zhuge and others in rashly.

He could only be sure of escaping unscathed if he went there in person.

"It will take at least 3 days, and at the latest, it should be delayed to about 5 days. Moreover, once the secret realm is sealed, it will be difficult for the people inside to get out. They are essentially sealed outside of reality. There are two known solutions."

"1. Refine the secret realm, become the master of the secret realm, and control the authority to open and close it."

"2. Wait for the secret realm to become independent and connect with the human world. At that time, a passage will open. However, this is very risky and the exact time cannot be predicted."

Yu Huai shared all the detailed information he had gathered from his past investigations with Jiang Mo and his fellow disciples without reservation.

He felt that, within the limited time available, if his senior uncle led the team, they could at least find out what was inside that soon-to-disappear secret realm and the reasons for the sect's past demise.

"Let me think about it carefully."

Jiang Mo also dared not be presumptuous, and he cautiously said:

"There's enough time... What makes me hesitate is whether the forces on the other side of the ruins will also consider us invaders and attack us?"
