章節 52: Chapter 52: Meeting of the Sect Leaders
Mo Yuheng glanced at Shen Mo and blinked.
"Are you at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage?" she asked with a smile, her voice as melodious as a clear spring.
Shen Mo did not respond.
Mo Yuheng did not get angry. Instead, she whistled softly, the sound light and airy.
Upon hearing the whistle, the small snake in Shen Mo's arms suddenly woke up.
The snake glanced at Mo Yuheng, seemingly reluctant.
Mo Yuheng gave a faint smile and waved her slender finger.
Only then did the snake reluctantly leave Shen Mo's embrace, moving like a white lightning bolt, and in the blink of an eye, it was back on Mo Yuheng's shoulder.
Mo Yuheng gently tapped the snake's head, as if reprimanding it.
One person and one snake walked into the night.
At that moment, Liu Yunxuan, unable to sleep, stepped out of his house to gaze at the moon in the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, he saw a fiery and tall figure leaving from the side of Shen Mo's window.
The long, snow-white beautiful legs were faintly visible under the nearly transparent black skirt, shimmering slightly in the moonlight, extraordinarily alluring.
Liu Yunxuan's eyes were glued to the sight, and he instinctively wanted to call out to the woman.
Mo Yuheng stopped at the doorway, turned her head to glance at him, and curled her lips into a captivating smile.
Then, she swayed her soft waist and disappeared into the night.
Even just her back view was extremely enchanting.
Liu Yunxuan gazed at that back view for a long time.
He recognized this woman.
The Enchantress, Mo Yuheng!
Her reputation for beauty was widespread.
Many young elites desired to be at her feet.
Mo Yuheng seemed to enjoy this superior position, occasionally flirting with her many admirers, but never choosing anyone.
"Why was Mo Yuheng at Shen Mo's window?"
"Is she interested in Shen Mo? Impossible!"
"Or perhaps, the faction led by the head of the Verdant Vine Sect is extending an olive branch to Shen Mo? But that doesn't make sense, not many people know about Shen Mo's heaven grade physique."
Liu Yunxuan took a few deep breaths, shaking off the enchanting thoughts from his mind, and began to ponder.
However, after thinking hard for a long time, he still couldn't understand why Mo Yuheng appeared outside Shen Mo's window.
Inside Shen Mo's room.
The sudden appearance of such a captivating woman like Mo Yuheng surprised him.
However, it was just a minor interlude.
Shen Mo quickly returned to his cultivation state.
The Sun Marrow Flower on the ground grew even more vigorously as a result.
About three hours later, the bud of the Sun Marrow Flower finally opened.
A rich fragrance filled the entire room.
Shen Mo stood up and approached the Sun Marrow Flower.
He took out a jade bottle and carefully collected all the dew from the flower.
The Sun Marrow Flower seemed to lose all its vitality and began to wither and wilt within a few breaths.
Finally, it returned to the ground.
"The Sun Marrow Flower needs to absorb a lot of spiritual energy to bloom."
"It will take at least fifty years for it to bloom again."
Shen Mo sighed.
Opportunities in the world are like this.
For the past forty-nine years, many people had lived in this room.
But none of them witnessed the blooming of the Sun Marrow Flower.
Only today did Shen Mo encounter it.
Shen Mo returned to his bed, poured the flower dew into his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.
His stomach immediately felt warm.
It emitted a gentle medicinal power, nourishing his body.
By dawn, Shen Mo had fully absorbed the medicinal power.
His cultivation level had slightly improved.
However, being already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, there was not much room for further improvement.
He also felt that his physique had improved.
His sensitivity to fire spiritual energy between heaven and earth was stronger.
His speed in cultivating fire attribute techniques and martial skills, as well as his comprehension speed, should also improve slightly.
But not significantly.
"I have previously taken the Taiyi Soul Nourishing Pill, which greatly enhanced my physique."
"I estimate that I need to consume six more doses of Sun Marrow Dew to enhance my Scorching Sun Flame Body to the supreme celestial grade."
"The road ahead is long and arduous."
Shen Mo did not feel discouraged.
After all, he managed to snatch this opportunity.
In the future, there will be more chances!
...
Two more days passed.
The sects from various parts of Xuanjiang Prefecture finally gathered.
This time, the number of sects was different from the Hundred Sect Ceremony six years ago.
Last time, there were fifty-two sects.
But this time, there were only forty-nine.
Several sects, due to a lack of resources, had chosen to merge.
This led to a reduction in the number of sects.
That night, the leaders of all the sects began their meeting in the Sword Tower of Divine Sword City.
This was the most important part of the Hundred Sect Ceremony.
The leaders of the forty-nine sects would discuss the overall interests of Xuanjiang Prefecture, as well as the interests of their respective sects.
Especially with the recent events in Lingyun Prefecture, this discussion became particularly crucial.
To fight or to surrender.
A decision had to be made.
At the same time, the list of disciples participating in the ceremony from the forty-nine sects was also announced.
The list was arranged according to the disciples' cultivation levels.
At the top were the Five Young Supreme.
Below them were the peak Foundation Establishment disciples from various sects.
Divine Sword Sect had the most, with two.
Then came Rising Sun Sect, also with two.
Thunderfire Sect, Verdant Vine Sect, and Heavenly Water Sect each had one.
Further down, there was an unfamiliar name.
Qingxuan Sect, Shen Mo.
His cultivation level was also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Qingxuan Sect, which sect is this, that they can produce a peak Foundation Establishment disciple?"
"I have a bit of an impression. Thirty years ago, Qingxuan Sect was one of the top five sects in Xuanjiang. Later, most of their Core Formation stage cultivators died, and Qingxuan Sect was pushed out by Heavenly Water Sect."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember too. Qingxuan Sect indeed has some heritage. After all, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse."
"It seems this Shen Mo is the strongest of the new generation of Qingxuan Sect. However, it will be difficult for him to compare with the geniuses of the top five sects in Xuanjiang."
While the disciples were discussing, they also began to meet frequently.
They hoped to understand each other's backgrounds through these interactions, at least to prepare more.
Another day passed.
The discussion among the sect leaders finally concluded.
However, the result was not pleasant.
Many people saw numerous Core Formation stage cultivators flying out of the Sword Tower with displeased expressions.
In the southeastern district of Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
Shen Mo, Zhao Ting, and Luo Shengnan were sitting in the courtyard, chatting casually.
The topic was the information about the elite disciples of various sects.
Luo Shengnan's family was in the medicinal herb business and often traveled around Xuanjiang Prefecture, so they could gather some intelligence.
The information on the elite disciples of various sects was provided by Luo Shengnan.
At this moment, a streak of light suddenly appeared and landed in the courtyard.
Shen Mo and the others immediately stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Sect Master."
Shen Mo glanced at Murong Yue secretly.
He noticed that Murong Yue's aura was somewhat unstable, as if she had been angry.
"Shen Mo, come to my room. You all continue your discussion." Murong Yue waved her hand.
"Yes."
Shen Mo followed Murong Yue to her room.
Murong Yue sat down and brewed a pot of cold tea for both of them.
Then, she drank it in big gulps.
She looked completely different from her usual serene and cold demeanor.
"Master, was the meeting unpleasant? Feel free to tell me," Shen Mo said after taking a sip.
Murong Yue sighed deeply, finally finding someone to confide in, and said immediately, "It was more than unpleasant."
"The top five sects of Xuanjiang plan to resist the government. I agree with this, but they actually want all the other sects to join under the top five sects' banner."
"The top five sects of Xuanjiang are led by Divine Sword Sect, which is also the strongest. This proposal was clearly made by Divine Sword Sect."
