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

"Uncle-Master, are these seniors trying to help them find liberation?"

Zhuge Yu, holding a cluster of Samadhi True Fire, asked for instructions.

"I come."

Jiang Mo spoke softly, his eyes slightly closed, a strange yet familiar scripture appearing in his mind. He chanted incantations, and golden light emanated from his body. An invisible power spread to the surroundings, and one after another, the vengeful spirits dissipated like bursting bubbles.

He walked on foot, performing rituals to guide the souls of the dead, until half an hour later, when he finally sent the last lingering spirit into reincarnation.

Thus, the vast sect was freed from the resentment and evil energy, and the cold, bone-chilling atmosphere was gone. Even the turbid air underwent a subtle change, slowly warming up. On the shattered ground, only three luminous white figures remained, symbolizing the beginning of a new life.

"Zhuge, Changqing," Jiang Mo called softly.

"Disciple is here," the two replied simultaneously.

"I'll leave the tasks of clearing the ruins, exploring the secret realm, managing the Qi formation, and modifying the feng shui to you. I need to rebuild the secret realm, reopen the world, and revive life, which will take a long time."

Jiang Mo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing ahead. He had already foreseen the rebirth of a spiritual realm, at which time sects could be moved here to inherit their traditions. However, he also needed to refine this secret realm in order to gain the right to freely enter and exit; otherwise, it would be a long time coming.

"Okay, don't worry, we'll handle it."

Changqing and Zhuge Yu patted their chests and made their promises, full of enthusiasm, as if they had taken on some kind of mission.

Chapter 396 Lord of the Realm, A New Transformation, Like Ascending to Godhood

The area of ​​the Sanyi Secret Realm is not as vast as that of the Taiqing Secret Realm, only about 20,000 square kilometers. It is shaped like a moon, with a terrain that is high in the east and low in the west, with obvious steps and drops. Under the hazy gray fog, you can hear the powerful sound of the rushing river, like thousands of horses galloping.

The crimson sun, high in the sky, was covered by shadows on the heavens, and its radiant light, which revitalizes all things, could never reach the secret realm.

Jiang Mo left the sect ruins and walked on the vast and desolate land. The vegetation was sparse and withered, and the skeletons of strange beasts could be seen everywhere. As he gradually walked to the central area, his heart was as still as water. He found a special spot, reached out and touched the void in front of him. Thousands of tiny pale blue veins appeared and lingered between his fingers.

Through these countless threads of flickering light and shadow, Jiang Mo sensed the pulse of the entire secret realm. The spiritual energy, almost overflowing, was sealed beneath the ground, waiting to be revived.

He murmured softly, "Secret Realm Refinement..."

This was a massive undertaking. Even the legendary Sanyi Patriarch took several years to complete, and the previous sect leader, Venerable Mingyao, took nearly four years to fully master the secret realm.

Following the methods they left behind, Jiang Mo attempted to refine the energy. His true energy overflowed from his hands, permeating the earth and emitting vibrations at a special frequency, slowly shattering the underground barrier and releasing the natural spiritual energy stored for thousands of years.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed across the land, and golden light swept across the earth for a moment before disappearing just as quickly, as if it were a prelude to revival.

The number of bombardments increased wildly, and time seemed to accelerate or be paused.

During this time, Jiang Mo concentrated intently, capturing every faint wisp of natural Qi, and transforming his own true Qi to expand into the deeper underground and more distant areas. Gradually, nearly 60% of his true Qi was completely absorbed into the earth.

Body and Soul Integration with the Secret Realm, Phase One!

"boom!!!"

Suddenly one day, the earth shook violently, and a look of joy appeared in Jiang Mo's eyes, which were like a secluded spring under the moon, and his brows relaxed.

Under his gaze, the naturally formed barrier, buried deep underground, finally succumbed to the vibrations of water dripping through stone and began to collapse completely.

Millions of colorful streams of Qi burst forth from every corner of the secret realm, continuously nourishing the withered vegetation, fertilizing the barren soil, and clarifying the murky air. In the distance, Zhuge Yu's joyful shouts echoed.

"It's begun! It's begun!"

"The secret realm is about to awaken!! Senior brother, the martial uncle has been formed!!"

"Wow!!"

The instant he finished speaking, the shadows on the dome seemed to be forcibly torn apart by an invisible hand, and the dim world regained the reflection of daylight, instantly becoming incredibly bright, and the eternal night receded.

Standing on the hillside of the ruins, Changqing and Zhuge Yu could see a hidden place in all directions, waiting to be rebuilt.

The land, once ravaged by war, was submerged by countless wisps of earth and rock, repairing the ravines and restoring life. Birds and beasts roamed the forests, and a river that stretched for hundreds of miles from the east stirred up waves. The surrounding withered grasslands turned lush and green at a visible speed.

"..."

Meanwhile, Jiang Mo, located in the core area of ​​the secret realm, is also nearing the end of the first stage.

His entire being was transformed into Qi from the inside out, his transparent body revealing his crystalline internal organs and clearly defined tendons and bones. His powerful true Qi resonated with the underground tectonic plates of the secret realm.

The second phase, the nurturing of the body in the secret realm, is about to begin.

Jiang Mo relived Mingyao Shangzun's memories several times until he was thoroughly familiar with the process of refining the secret realm. Only then did his body instantly dissipate and completely disappear into the secret realm, his Qi completely vanishing.

Over the next few months, Changqing cleaned up the sect's ruins day and night, built simple wooden houses, reopened the abandoned river channel and brought it back into the sect, and frequently patrolled the secret realm to check for any abnormalities.

Zhuge Yu, on the other hand, was responsible for setting up the Qi formation, reshaping the feng shui, searching for rare spiritual herbs within the secret realm, and transplanting them.

In a corner unnoticed by them, late one night six months later, countless strands of Qi converged from all directions of the secret realm, intertwining and gradually forming a blurry figure. It was surrounded by holy light and was born from the blessings of this world.

Two months later, the figure solidified, with a tall and slender build and cold, stern features. It was none other than the sleeping Jiang Mo. His body had undergone a transformation, and his limbs and bones were filled with vast power.

"..."

His eyebrows trembled, and when his eyes opened, they were like deep black holes, swallowing up all the light around them. He was terrifyingly calm, and his majesty was like that of a tyrant ruling over all the world.

As the Qi dissipated, Jiang Mo stretched his body, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

After being nourished by the secret realm, his body was even better than before. Although it was not as terrifying as the breakthrough from the sixth level of the Profound Fate Realm to the seventh level, it still brought him an unimaginable boost. The true qi surging in his body seemed inexhaustible, completely solving the problem of potentially running out of energy during battle or not being able to consume enough natural spiritual qi.

The secret realm was closely connected to him, and he could extract and use countless spiritual energies as he pleased, making him seem like the master of this world.

At this moment, Jiang Mo finally understood the root of Nasen's arrogance and haughtiness. As the ruler of a region, he not only had a vast amount of true qi at his disposal, but he could also manipulate the natural matter within his range at will. It is no exaggeration to say that within the scope of the secret realm, he was the supreme god.

This is why, back then, Venerable Mingyao, as the master of the secret realm, was able to fight against nearly twenty peerless powerhouses in this world.

However, after completing the first and second stages of the Refinement Realm, there is still the final stage: the Lord of the Realm.

Not only should we rationally allocate spiritual energy to all things in nature, mountains, rivers, and lakes, to restore the vitality of hidden realms;

The location of the secret realm needs to be fixed, nailed to a certain fold or crevice in the real space, before opening a passage to the human world.

The former is relatively easy, while the latter is a bit more troublesome, but it is not without a solution. The founder and successive sect leaders all left behind extra boundary nails.

It is a universal magical artifact that is found in dozens of secret realms. It can be forged by finding specific materials in the mortal world.

When it came to Jiang Mo's generation, the sect's treasury still had twelve treasures left, a considerable number.

"Hmm...we'll be going out soon. I wonder if things have changed outside."

Jiang Mo seemed to be deep in thought. When he was refining the secret realm, his consciousness remained clear from beginning to end. He had a rough estimate of the passage of time, which should be a little over two years.

Having achieved a certain stage in his cultivation, his mind drifted into a blank, wondering if the hidden sects would emerge and engage in a great battle with the Nine Divisions.

Those spirits in Northeast China who he helped should now be able to ascend to the ranks of immortals, right?

In the real world outside the secret realm, superhumans around the world are evolving rapidly, and it is likely that quite a few Level 5 Awakened individuals have been born.

In addition, what intrigued Jiang Mo was whether the nuclear-contaminated waters off Japan could nurture monsters that surpassed level 5 awakeners.

He had no way of knowing the answers to his various thoughts, but he was quite at ease about the safety of the sect. With his second true body, the leaders of those sects would hardly have the right to challenge him unless they had the extraordinary abilities of their founders.

After only a brief moment of distraction, Jiang Mo immersed himself in his new cultivation practice.

Even without using any real techniques, he could control the direction of many Qi flows with a single thought.

Under his tireless restoration efforts, the secret realm has grown stronger day by day, regaining its vitality and becoming a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Four months later, Jiang Mo set out at night, stepping on twelve dazzling silver boundary nails, traversing the void to the end of the secret realm. Through the spatial barrier, he could vaguely see an endless sea, but there were no obvious islands.

For seven consecutive days, Jiang Mo waited here to observe, constrained by changes in the real world and various blockade orders.

He couldn't see any passing ships from here; he could only mark the time intervals and directions of sunrise and sunset in the real world.

Based on my previous knowledge of astronomy and geography, I finally determined that this place was somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

As the master of the secret realm, he could perceive in detail the direction of its movement, which was shifting towards the northeast.

If this continues, it may eventually enter the territory of the United States. So, we might as well choose this coordinate and send the twelve boundary markers through the secret realm one by one, connecting it to reality and anchoring its position.

Six months later, the twelve boundary nails took root in reality, and the secret realm became stable.

Jiang Mo only had one task left: to open up a passage. The secret realm was highly integrated with him, and they were in a symbiotic relationship.

He returned to the sect, and under the care of Changqing and Zhuge Yu, the ruins were transformed from barren land into a lush forest with lawns, ready for the reconstruction of palaces and buildings at any time.

"Uncle Master!"

"You're back!!"

In the wooden house in front of the stone tablet, two people were playing chess when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching. They turned their heads and saw the familiar figure, their eyes lighting up.

"Come, sit down, I'll make you some tea."

Upon seeing Jiang Mo return, Zhuge Yu disregarded the chess game he was confident of winning and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Thank you."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly, sat down on the bamboo stool, and chatted with them for several hours, asking how they felt about staying here all these years, and whether they had slacked off in their cultivation.

He also informed them that they would be able to leave soon, as he had successfully refined the secret realm and was now searching for its location to open a passage back.

"Really? That's wonderful, Uncle-Master!"

"It's been three years since we last met. I wonder how Xiao Lu and the others are doing. This trip has been very fruitful. If they know that we have investigated the origin of the sect, they will surely be pleased."

Zhuge Yu and Chang Qing each had their own feelings and were overjoyed.

As evening approached, Jiang Mo got up and called his two disciples to accompany him to the plains ten thousand meters away.

"Wow!!!"

Three streaks of silver light swept across the void, instantly reaching their destination from the horizon.

"The new entrance will be located here."

As soon as Jiang Mo finished speaking, he activated the authority of the master of the secret realm.

With a wave of his hand, a shallow spatial rift appeared out of thin air before the group, like a sandcastle being impacted by flowing water, with pale white particles constantly splashing and falling. The rift expanded slowly and collapsed inward.

"Zhuge, I'll give you three months. Before the passage is fully opened, can you build a protective mountain formation similar to our sect's, covering an area of ​​ten miles?"

Upon hearing his uncle's question, Zhuge Yu was startled and nodded confidently, saying, "No problem."

Immediately, the group began work, cooperating with each other, and the time to return was drawing ever closer...

Chapter 397 Pandora's Box Unlocked, Myths Revived

On August 15, 2016, Jiang Mo quelled the turmoil in the Kuhai Prison and pacified the Taiqing Secret Realm. With Chengzhen, Lu Jin, and Yu Huai watching him go, he went to the ancient ruins to explore the origin of the sect.

On this same day, the Nine Departments learned of the destruction of Taiqing Palace and took the initiative to send several Class B mechs into the secret realm to collect the remaining resources. Apart from the Taiqing Palace ruins that had been burned to dust, most of the area was intact and contained various rare mineral veins and spiritual herbs.

Yu Huai and several other leaders of the Nine Departments sincerely invited Cheng Zhen to join them in entering the secret realm and sharing the cultivation resources they had collected, but he politely declined.

After reading Jiang Mo's complete memories of attacking Taiqing Palace, Chengzhen was slightly worried. The sect leaders' true spirits, which were often thousands of meters tall, and the boundless mountain-protecting formations brought him great shock.

However, there are countless other secluded forces like this. Even knowing that there is a second true body sleeping in the back mountain after his master's disappearance, he still couldn't rest easy, so he accelerated his cultivation progress.

That day, Chengzhen bid farewell to his two junior brothers and returned to the sect. He summoned all the disciples and instructed them to stay within the mountain for the next year. He also demanded that they strengthen the monitoring of the area below the mountain and immediately kill any suspicious persons who approached or trespassed into the inner domain formation.

After giving instructions, he went to the back mountain to observe the corpses of two extraordinary creatures. With some thoughts in mind, he roughly outlined his cultivation path, taking the flesh, blood, tendons, and bones of the dragon corpses to refine. He also followed the experience that his uncle had taught him after a certain transformation, gradually evolving his body into the forbidden realm of extraordinary creatures.

"Boom!!!"

Dark clouds covered the area for miles, silvery lightning danced wildly, and a hurricane roared in like a category 18 typhoon, nearly snapping the forests on the mountainside. Torrential rain poured down for days, and floods submerged the area below the mountain. Tourists and pilgrims who had settled in the surrounding area had nowhere to hide and all left one after another.

The young disciples who remained inside the sect remained calm and composed. Even when they witnessed the natural disaster, they showed no panic. They roughly judged that this was an unusual phenomenon caused by the sect leader's cultivation.

Moreover, with one of the Grandmaster Uncle's Dharma bodies residing in the back mountain, the sect is undoubtedly the safest place.

Deep in the mountains.

Chengzhen sat cross-legged in an ancient cave, his eyes closed in meditation, feeling the transformation of two completely different forces within his body, his expression serene and peaceful.

The flickering lights illuminated his mutated body in the dim environment, revealing a flawless, otherworldly human form on one side and a ferocious, brutal, and malevolent demonic form on the other.

Especially the right side of its body, bathed in the blood of the dragon, saw its strength surge, shattering one genetic shackle after another, and evolving wildly.

Flesh and blood remodeled, bones and tendons regenerated, and the body surface was covered with a layer of glossy black scales. Bone spurs grew on the shoulders, elbows, knees, and palms, and even the right eye turned dark red, exuding a terrifying majesty.

"call...."

His chest rose and fell slightly. As Chengzhen exhaled a breath of pure qi and relaxed his muscles, all the violent power was instantly suppressed back into his body. His right side of his body accelerated its transformation, shedding the demonic energy and completely returning to human form.

The rock beneath them, spanning several meters in circumference, was entirely stained with black blood, resembling a flowing river, which was extremely terrifying.
