Chapter 258: You Are Not Qualified

After Mo Xiu had just returned to the Seraphic Sword Sect, he immediately noticed something wrong.

His Divine Consciousness stretched out and covered the entire Seraphic Sword Sect, but after searching for a long time, the source of the problem was not found.

In the end, he could only lock the target on Ji Linyuan. After all, even if someone in the Seraphic Sword Sect wanted to make trouble, it was estimated that only Ji Linyuan had that ability.

Ji Linyuan's cultivation base had broken through to the Early-stage of the Spirit Extending Realm, which made Mo Xiu even more certain that Ji Linyuan wanted to plot something.

After returning to the Divine Sword Peak, Mo Xiu closed his eyes and patiently calculated the scenes that had happened in the Seraphic Sword Sect in the past few days.

The result was similar to what he expected. It was indeed Ji Linyuan who wanted to make trouble. But there was more than one Ji Linyuan, and those were the people who came from Spirit Island.

And those people were the Sect Masters and elders of the major sects who were trapped on Spirit Island by Mo Xiu not long ago.

Originally, the barriers of Spirit Island could only trap cultivators whose strength was below the Spirit Extending Realm. However, after the barriers between Spirit Continent and several other states were broken, Spirit Continent and Spirit Island's Spiritual Energy became richer. Under this circumstance, it was hard not to break through to the Spirit Extending Realm.

Even Elder Zhao and Ji Linyuan had broken through to the Spirit Extending Realm, so it could be expected that some people on Spirit Island could achieve the same thing.

As long as someone broke through successfully, he could break through the barriers and lead everyone trapped inside to rush out.

However, after those people came out of Spirit Island, they did not return to their respective sects instantly. Instead, they went to the Seraphic Sword Sect and colluded with Ji Linyuan. This was a bit beyond Mo Xiu's expectation.

With this, those people should've known about the current situation of all the major sects, knowing that the major sects had been swept by Mo Xiu.

In this case, even if they returned to their respective sects, it would be useless. They would only be destroyed one by one. It was better to go to the Seraphic Sword Sect first to solve the key problems and then go back.

The key issue was Mo Xiu's problem. But with Mo Xiu's current strength, let alone after knowing those people's plans, even if Mo Xiu was in a state of ignorance, those people still couldn't do anything to him.

He didn't want to take action immediately either, he just waited patiently.

After a while, one person came to Divine Sword Peak and looked for Mo Xiu. It was Ji Linyuan's apprentice, Song Shenxue, the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect.

"What's the matter?" Mo Xiu looked at Song Shenxue and asked without a rush.

"Didn't you ask me to worship you as my teacher? I thought about it for a while and thought that worshipping you as a teacher might be a good choice. So now, I came to ask if you could give me another chance," Song Shenxue said straightforwardly. 

Mo Xiu did not answer, but looked up and down Song Shenxue.

Song Shenxue was a little uncomfortable when she was being inspected like this. She then frowned and said, "Let me say this first, I only accept you as my teacher, you can't do other things."

Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "I am not interested in you and will not do other things."

"Then you agreed?" Song Shenxue asked quickly.

"Did I say it?" Mo Xiu asked back.

"Then what do you mean?" Song Shenxue looked a little puzzled.

Mo Xiu was silent for a while before he said, "I said at the beginning that if you missed it, there would be no second chance. Now, you are asking me if I can give you another chance?"

"I was ignorant at the beginning," Song Shenxue lowered her head and said.

"You were ignorant at the beginning, but now, you are sensible?" Mo Xiu asked blankly.

"Yes, now, I know how good you are. You are indeed qualified to be my master," Song Shenxue replied.

Mo Xiu nodded, accepting this statement, but quickly said, "Unfortunately, you are not qualified to be my apprentice."

"Why?" Song Shenxue was a little puzzled. "Didn't you want to accept me as an apprentice because you valued my talent and aptitude? Now, my talent and aptitude should remain the same. Why am I not qualified to be your apprentice?"

"Do you really think that becoming my apprentice only requires talent and high aptitude?" Mo Xiu glanced at Song Shenxue.

"Isn't it?" Song Shenxue raised her head slightly, met Mo Xiu's gaze, and stared at him.

Mo Xiu snorted coldly, "Your talent is really good, but it's not much better than that of Xing Yuyan. Moreover, there are many people with higher talents and aptitudes in the heaven and ten thousand realms. Why do you think with your good aptitude, you can become my apprentice?"

"The heaven and ten thousand realms?" Song Shenxue was stunned.

For a long time, her eyes only stayed in the Profound Sky Continent. This Profound Sky Continent was only what she thought was the Profound Sky Continent, but in fact, it was just the Spirit Continent, which was only a part of the Profound Sky Continent.

In her opinion, Mo Xiu and Xing Yuyan might indeed surpass her in talent and aptitude. Otherwise, they would not have improved their strength to such a level in such a short period of time.

But apart from Mo Xiu and Xing Yuyan, she felt that no one should have the talent and aptitude above her.

However, now that Mo Xiu didn't talk about the Profound Sky Continent, he was talking about heaven and myriad realms, which made her bewildered all of a sudden.

Did heaven and myriad realms really exist?

She couldn't see through Mo Xiu originally, but now, she couldn't see through him even more.

After a long period of time, she took a deep breath and said, "Let's not say whether there are really the heaven and the other realms. Even if there are, you can't leave the Profound Sky Continent and go to the Realm of Heaven and the other realms to collect disciples, right?"

"Do you find it difficult to leave the Profound Sky Continent?" Mo Xiu asked calmly.

"Difficult! Very difficult! It is almost impossible," Song Shenxue said with a sigh.

"Heh, with this, you have failed my test. And that's just for you," Mo Xiu said lightly.

Song Shenxue felt like she was being despised. But thinking about Mo Xiu's growth rate, even if she didn't have that ability now, she would definitely be able to gain that ability in the future. From this point of view, it was really only for her that it was difficult to leave the Profound Sky Continent.

After figuring this out, she didn't feel angry either, and she went back to the point of preaching, "How can you accept me as your disciple? In addition to talent and aptitude, what else do I lack?"

"If you worship me as your teacher, what about Ji Linyuan?" Mo Xiu asked.

"He is still my master, and you also said that one person can have multiple masters," Song Shenxue replied very seriously.

"Isn't it?" Mo Xiu's face suddenly became cold. "In your eyes, only he is your master. Worshiping me as your teacher is just Ji Linyuan's command to let you have a way out after his failure."

Song Shenxue's face changed, and soon returned to normal, with an incomprehensible look, "What failure? I don't know what you are talking about."

"You don't understand enough? Ji Linyuan is unwilling to let me control the Seraphic Sword Sect. He doesn't want the Seraphic Sword Sect to go to another path, so he colluded with the people of the major sects who came back from Spirit Island and planned to kill me. After that, he can take control of the Seraphic Sword Sect again."

Mo Xiu said, "But he was not sure enough to kill me, so he asked you to come to me after I came back. Consequently, if his actions are successful, even if you worship me as your teacher, it won't be affected. And if his actions fail, I should have no reason to kill my apprentice."

Having said it so clearly, how could Song Shenxue not understand that Ji Linyuan's plan had been revealed?

But she really couldn't understand how the hell did Mo Xiu discover this as clear as day since he and Xing Yuyan were not in the sect previously?

Not only was the plan discovered, but listening to what Mo Xiu said just now, it was as if every move in the Seraphic Sword Sect was under Mo Xiu's control. What kind of method was this?

The matter was too important, even if Ji Linyuan's plan had been revealed, she could only pretend to be confused at this time.

She just froze for a moment, and soon she said, "You think too much. Even if my master is a little dissatisfied with your current action, no matter what, you are the heir to the Sect Master he once recognized, so he won't collude with the major sects to murder you. Besides, your strength is obvious to all. He has no reason to deal with you without knowing his own strength."

"He exactly doesn't know his own strength!" Mo Xiu snorted coldly.

"..."

Song Shenxue fell silent, not knowing how to respond for a while.

After thinking for a moment, she used the secret method to transmit sounds that Ji Linyuan had taught her not long ago. Then, she secretly told Ji Linyuan of the situation here, without forgetting to say, "No matter what you say, it's just your guess."

"Guess?" Mo Xiu glanced at Song Shenxue.

"If you want to doubt, I don't have any opinion. But it is best to show evidence, otherwise, it will always be your guess," Song Shenxue said with a curled mouth.

"I need to show evidence?"

Mo Xiu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Song Shenxue's white neck. All of a sudden, Song Shenxue was grabbed by him and hung in the air.

"Ugh…"

Song Shenxue was caught off guard, and after a soft groan, she hurriedly used her True Energy to struggle.

However, Song Shenxue now was really vulnerable to Mo Xiu. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get rid of him.

After a long time, Mo Xiu waved his hand gently and threw Song Shenxue out.

"Boom!"

A building on the Divine Sword Peak was knocked down by Song Shenxue, and finally, she stood up from the rubble. After hearing a "puff", a mouthful of blood came out from her mouth, and her face turned pale.

"You are still useful to me. But even if I kill you, it won't have much impact on my overall situation."

As Mo Xiu said, with a flick of his finger, his True Energy flew out and fell on Song Shenxue, sealing several acupoints of Song Shenxue, and Song Shenxue's cultivation was also blocked.

"You think about it first, and wait until I come back to find you."

As soon as his voice fell, Mo Xiu's figure disappeared.

Song Shenxue was stunned, closed her eyes, and sensed it. She was thinking about using a secret method to break the restriction, only to find that there was no True Energy in her body. It seemed that Mo Xiu had already expected that she had a secret method to break the restriction, so he directly sealed her power.

The sudden discovery made her feel a sense of powerlessness, and she fell to the ground with a "plop", looking very miserable.
