Seeing that Jiang Mo had released his grip, Ji Yunyu took out a primitive compass with a bronze glow from his clothes. He gently clenched it with his thin left hand, imprinting several special patterns on it. Then, with a gentle push, the primitive compass flew to Jiang Mo's side.
"With this item, you can break through many spatial barriers within the Immortal Realm. My contingency plan was to prevent you from using this item against my race. I hope you understand."
"Even without this item, do you think I could get into your secret realm?"
Jiang Mo teased him with a half-smile.
This startled the old man, whose expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said slowly, "I believe you have the ability to get in, but I trust my intuition even more. You will keep your promise..."
"The techniques for controlling artifacts are all inside. What you wanted... I've given you everything. I hope you'll be lenient."
After saying this, the great sage of the royal family bowed slightly to Jiang Mo.
"Don't provoke me again in the future; it will only benefit you."
Jiang Mo casually refined the Primal Compass, instantly mastering the method of activation. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He then left with these words and prepared to depart.
"I will return this item to you a hundred years from now."
"It's fine if you don't return it. If you like it, you can keep it as you wish."
Ji Yunyu gazed at Jiang Mo's retreating figure, stroked his beard, and said, "It is truly a miracle throughout the ages that Tianyuan could give birth to a human powerhouse like you. However, you are still affected by our bloodline, so it is inevitable that you will feel some discomfort. Do you want to know the origin of your race?"
"Why don't you come in and sit down with my clan, and catch up? This old man will take you to uncover the historical truths you will never have the chance to know."
The True World King tried his best to invite Jiang Mo into the clan. Since the defense was practically useless, why not try a different approach and win him over?
"If you're willing, you too can ascend to become a new lineage of human kings, creating eternal glory, and you won't be inferior to the so-called sub-immortal race or immortal race. How about it? Want to come in and take a look?"
Ji Yunyu continued, his expression calm and indifferent, not like he was making a transaction, but like he was guiding the birth of a new species!
However, Jiang Mo ignored him, his afterimage vanished instantly without a trace, leaving only a faint voice echoing in the void of the night.
"Thanks, but I'm not interested."
Chapter 636 I want to... ascend to heaven!
"What, you refused?"
Inside the Suspended Palace, the Flying Immortal Master listened to Jiang Mo's recent decision with some disbelief.
That's about the origin of the entire human race, and there's an opportunity to create a new royal family. Even if you don't have any ulterior motives, you should still go in and take a look.
The Flying Immortal Master never expected that Jiang Mo would so directly refuse the offer of the Ji Clan's Great Sage.
If it were him, his limited strength would make it understandable that he wouldn't dare to go in. But Jiang Mo's current cultivation level, if not unparalleled in the Immortal Realm, is almost there. The Ji Clan's power alone is not enough to ambush and kill him. Even if they are cautious, there is no need to go to this extent.
"Yes, the Ji clan's secret realm is strange..."
Jiang Mo picked up a cup of tea, took a few sips, and then said softly:
“I fought with the old ghost of the Ji clan in the cave of the ancient emperor of the root, and saw the true appearance of their clan, with three heads and six arms.”
"Three heads and six arms?"
The moment that word appeared, the Flying Immortal Master's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Aren't these the characteristics of the ancient human and divine races of Tianyuan? Could it be that they have a lineage relationship with these two races?"
"Most likely. Putting aside whether there are dangers in the secret realm, my intuition tells me that if I had gone in back then, I might not have gotten a good result. On the contrary, it might have fueled my greed. If I hadn't been careful, it wouldn't have been an exaggeration to say that I would have been doomed."
At this point, Jiang Mo paused slightly, looked outside the hall, and recited:
"However, even if I cooperate with them, it's not as exaggerated as I said, that I'll be doomed forever. At least, my strength and cultivation will improve. As for being doomed forever, it should mean that I've made a completely different choice from my former self, to the point that it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm unrecognizable."
"If it's just about coveting power, then there's no need for that. If cultivation is done slowly, it will eventually come to fruition. I'm not in a hurry for this moment."
The Flying Immortal Master listened quietly to these stories, his eyes thoughtful, but due to the limited clues, he could only give up for the time being.
"This clan is very mysterious; we must be wary of them in the future."
"Let's see if that old ghost Wan'e has the ability to wipe them out. If he really can, it would be a good thing."
Holding the Primal Compass, Jiang Mo spoke softly, showing no intention of returning it to its rightful owner.
"What if the Ancient Emperor of Origin is no match for him?"
At this moment, the Flying Immortal Master couldn't help but ask. Although they were both human, and the Ji Clan was still a superior race among humans, he still couldn't forget the scheme he had been plotted against when he and Jiang Mo ascended to heaven.
Back then, if you made even the slightest mistake, or if you lacked the necessary skills, the consequences could have been dire.
It's clearly impossible for him to let go of this grudge for no reason now.
"Unable to defeat it? That means it's useless. What else can I do? Wipe out the Ji clan for it?"
Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, reiterating that he had made a promise with the Ji clan that he would not interfere in the feud between the two sides.
"If you can't do something, then what can I do...?"
The Flying Immortal Master suddenly said that he made no attempt to hide his hostility towards the Ji Clan in front of Jiang Mo. He would not be able to eat or sleep peacefully until this threat was eliminated.
Jiang Mo glanced at him, neither expressing opposition nor support, leaving everything unsaid.
If you have the ability, then destroy the Supreme Dao Lord of the Flying Immortal Sect, plus the Ancient Emperor of the Root; if you don't, then just watch helplessly.
Jiang Mo didn't want to do everything himself, so he left the Flying Immortal Master and the Ancient Emperor of Origin to deal with the Ji Clan.
"Let's talk about something else, senior. Have you found a suitable candidate for ascension within your sect?"
"My original compass can be activated at any time..."
Jiang Mo didn't want to delve into the previous topic. He spread his five fingers and channeled his true qi into the primordial compass. Instantly, the seemingly old object emitted a dazzling starlight and became incomparably new and bright.
"I've almost finished selecting the candidates. Could you please pass on the message for me?"
The Flying Immortal Master handed over a sheet of paper with the names of many disciples and elders from his sect written on it. At the same time, he added with some concern:
"Has our actions gone too far? Bringing so many people from our homeland to the Immortal Realm might incur divine retribution."
"Have we not suffered enough divine retribution?"
As Jiang Mo examined the paper, he said casually:
"Divine retribution has always been there, ever since the moment you and I crossed over from this world. We've been through several great battles, each one fraught with danger. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been crushed to death long ago..."
"I can hardly say what the future holds, and I have no ability to protect the people a thousand years from now. So let's just give them a chance to learn from this experience."
"Within a thousand years, those who enter the Immortal Realm and achieve something will be fine. If they cannot achieve anything, I will seal the Heavenly Abyss once again before I pass away, and even change its course and push it into the more distant starry sky, so that the ultimate beings of the Immortal Realm will not find the way to enter the Heavenly Abyss in the future."
The Flying Immortal Master was taken aback, quite surprised by this answer, and hesitated before saying:
"Even you don't have a lifespan of a thousand years?"
"Yes... I will eventually decay, it's not a big deal. I can't be like the scum in the darkness, using any means necessary to survive. If that were the case, I could live for tens of thousands more years without any problem, but I don't want to become a monster that's neither human nor ghost..."
"And you, how much longer?"
Jiang Mo put down his teacup and inquired about the Flying Immortal Master's physical condition. The two of them had previously used the power of the Book of Time multiple times in Tianyuan to intercept the reversal of time and cultivate for countless years, which had cost them nearly half, or even more, of their lifespan.
Even if I were to come to the Immortal Realm now, it would be unrealistic to make amends.
Their bodies are extremely powerful, and they experience terrifying energy expenditure every moment. They can survive for a while by consuming various rare and precious herbs, but once they consume them a second time, the drug resistance will greatly reduce the effectiveness, making it impossible to continue.
Not only them, but almost all the supreme Dao Lords in the Immortal Realm are in this situation.
Immortal Dao Lords, peerless Dao Lords, can barely suppress the power within their bodies under extreme pressure, sealing themselves and transforming into mortal bodies, thus extending their lifespan to infinity.
However, such longevity comes at a price. It requires constant concentration to control one's internal power, without any leakage, which is extremely mentally taxing.
The difficulty is no less than making a true dragon that roams the sky shrink its body and become as insignificant as an ant on the ground. The process and the result are both extremely agonizing, and not many Dao Lords can persevere.
Upon reaching the realm of the Supreme Dao Lord, there is no longer any possibility of being sealed away, completely severing the possibility of returning to a mortal state, leaving only the option to continue moving forward.
They either break through to an unprecedented level, extend their lifespan, and look down upon all worlds, or they fail and die one day, turning into withered bones buried in the yellow earth.
Inside the suspended palace, the two sat facing each other. When Jiang Mo asked how much of his lifespan he had left, the Flying Immortal Master's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he smiled bitterly:
"You're not as good as me; I've already died once..."
"To be able to live for hundreds more years is already an immense blessing..."
The Flying Immortal Master did not give a specific number, only roughly saying that there were only three to four hundred years left.
After all, no one can predict the future. Theoretically, he could live for hundreds of years, but if he were to experience a major battle along the way, he might perish even faster.
However, when faced with the ever-changing nature of the world, there is no other way but to remain optimistic.
Jiang Mo remained silent, his gaze gradually shifting from the paper, before slowly speaking:
"Is there anything else you need me to convey?"
"Let them cultivate well. Those who are willing to come can come, and those who are not willing can stay in Tianyuan and maintain the order of this world. That is also a good deed."
After thinking for a moment, the Flying Immortal Master reluctantly uttered this sentence. He had lived for too long, so long that he did not know most of the believers in the sect. The only people who knew him were his senior uncle, a few fellow disciples, his personal disciples, and some elderly elders.
Besides, he was a stranger to tens of thousands of Flying Immortals, so their relationship was not very close. He didn't know what to say to them, so in the end, he could only tell them to cultivate diligently.
Coincidentally, Jiang Mo was in the same situation, but he was better off because the number of disciples and followers of the Sanyi Sect was not that large.
"I will convey your message, please rest assured..."
Inside the suspended palace, the two talked for half an hour before heading to Cangfu County and Liuyun County, where the Evil Spirit Ancestor and Zhulong, who had been on a mission, returned one after another.
Relying on Jiang Mo's letter, they successfully captured the two major prefectures and reported that the remaining forces of the Martial Peak Palace and the Sunset Royal Court did not show any obvious hostility from beginning to end, and both sides cooperated well in leaving the two major prefectures.
At this point, all the territory surrounding Tianyuan has been acquired!
"It's time to take action."
Jiang Mo stood up, gazed at the night outside the hall, and murmured to himself.
His shadow was stretched long by the moonlight, reflected on the candlelit walls of the palace, making him appear extremely lonely.
That night, Jiang Mo set off again, heading to all the borders of Tianyuan to personally set up new restrictive barriers.
At the same time, he ordered the Evil Spirit Ancestor and Zhulong to hand over the list of the selected subjects to him before dawn.
As dawn broke, Jiang Mo stood on the vast land beyond the abyss, watching the slowly rising sun and gazing at the beautiful mountains and rivers in the distance, feeling a surge of joy.
Then, he closed his eyes and began to concentrate his powerful divine sense, crossing the boundary to communicate with his reincarnation body sleeping in the Tianyuan Sect, and arranged for it to spread the message and prepare for the ascension ceremony.
........
Tianyuan, Sanyi Gate.
A figure, who had been meditating in the most central chamber of the sect, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"Wow, the difference is that big?"
Jiang Mo muttered to himself that he was in control of the consciousness of both bodies, but the original body after ascension was obviously much stronger than the reincarnation body.
"Fine, my reincarnated body is enough to guard this world. As long as my main body doesn't encounter any mishaps, everything is negotiable..."
As Jiang Mo sorted through the memories transmitted back from the Immortal Realm, he waved his left hand, and in an instant, three sheets of paper with different handwriting appeared, filled with the names of the ascended members of the Flying Immortal Sect, the Evil Spirit Clan, and the Candle Dragon Clan.
"Wow!"
The next instant, another sheet of paper materialized, without any writing on it; it was prepared by Jiang Mo for the Blood Demon Clan.
Although their ancestor is nowhere to be found and his fate is unknown, Jiang Mo promised them territory, and he will not break his promise.
Soon, Jiang Mo, who was in his reincarnation state, walked out of the secret room and immediately summoned his disciples with the highest-level command.
Within minutes, the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository was packed with people; every member of the sect, regardless of seniority, was there.
"Uncle-Master, what brings you here so late at night?"
Zhuge Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking half-awake and half-asleep.
The older generation of disciples present, including Changqing, Chengzhen, Shuiyun, Lujin, Sichong, and Shengsheng, were all puzzled.
The rest of the middle-aged and younger generations, who number less than ten, are also deeply perplexed.
You should know that their sect's highest leader has not shown his face for several years, and has been sleeping in the deepest secret chamber. So what is the purpose of his sudden revival and the convening of this meeting?
"The three major powers outside the region were indirectly destroyed because of me."
"Now that I have mastered the method of ascension, I can welcome any of you who are willing to ascend to the immortal realm recorded in the ancient books at any time."
"However, the Immortal Realm is not as peaceful as the Heavenly Abyss. You are in the Heavenly Abyss, where there is not much danger, but the power and cruelty of the Immortal Realm are beyond your imagination. It is not easy to settle down and survive here. I respect your choice and hope that you will make the choice that is most true to your heart, without any coercion."
Jiang Mo spoke directly, his voice not loud, but the content shocked everyone.
My martial uncle has opened up the Immortal Realm and is about to ascend to the throne?!
They even have the ability to welcome them in!
