"Just the sect-suppressing immortal artifact."
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly serious.
So far, Lin Yuan had encountered the Taihao Mirror twice.
The first time was during the Ceremony, when Lin Yuan accompanied his parents to Daoist Immortal Mountain to congratulate Mu Qingliu.
During that time, Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit destroyed the power of the Black Veil Archipelago, causing the layout of the Daoist Immortal Sect to fail, which angered Mu Qingliu. He directly activated the Taihao Mirror and descended in person on the Eastern Sea Islands.
The second time was not long ago, when Lin Yuan, using his Yin Spirit, fought against the incarnation of Mirror Light for a while, feeling the true power of the Taihao Mirror.
Through these two encounters, Lin Yuan concluded that the level of the Taihao Mirror's Immortal Realm should surpass the Void Refinement Stage.
It is a treasure of the Harmony Dao Period (an ancient era) beyond the Void Refinement Stage.
The Harmony Dao Period has already surpassed the limits of this world.
Only the legendary 'Spirit Realm' possesses such immense power.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
"Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan's expression fell into brief contemplation.
According to rumors, the Daoist Immortal Sect holds the 'Ascension Platform' leading to the Spirit Realm.
Throughout the generations, after presiding over the Daoist Immortal Sect for ten to twenty thousand years, the Sect Masters disappear without a trace, supposedly ascending to the legendary Spirit Realm through the 'Ascension Platform'.
Of course, this saying has no evidence, and probably only the Sect Masters of the Daoist Immortal Sect know the truth.
Perhaps the Void Refinement Ghost King of the Nether Ghost Palace, the Blood Demon Lord of the Blood Demon Sea, and the Demon Saint of the Demon Saint's Nest also know some secrets.
"It doesn't matter."
"As long as I am given another two hundred years, cultivating to the peak of the sixth rank, or even breaking through to the seventh rank, any secrets will no longer be secrets in front of me."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Now he doesn't need to inquire about the secrets of the 'Spirit Realm' or 'Ascension'.
It's meaningless.
It's better to focus all his time on cultivation.
First, become invincible.
Daoist Immortal Sect.
Master Mu Qingliu sits high above.
Mu Mengting kneels below, his face pale, filled with fear.
He never expected that even after using the precious Void Refinement Stage talisman inherited from the Mu family, he still failed to kill Jun Dongjin.
Not only did he fail to kill him, but the Master sensed it firsthand.
Now, not only did he waste an incredibly precious Void Refinement Stage talisman, but Jun Dongjin also didn't die.
This means that Mu Mengting is not the only candidate to inherit the sect.
Mu Qingliu still has other choices, such as reusing Jun Dongjin.
If so, it means that Mu Mengting is completely out of favor with the Master.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting, disappointment evident in his eyes.
He didn't expect Mu Mengting to lack such composure and discretion.
"Master, I shouldn't have acted against my fellow disciples, shouldn't have laid hands on Jun Dongjin." Mu Mengting immediately admitted his mistake.
Since Master Mu Qingliu called him alone and personally mentioned this matter, Mu Mengting realized that his little actions couldn't be concealed anymore.
In that case.
It's better to admit the mistake frankly.
Maybe there's still a turning point.
After all, his relationship with Master Mu Qingliu is far from simple.
"That's not it."
"You're wrong because you acted too early."
"And too hastily."
Mu Qingliu looked at Mu Mengting and said calmly.
When he inherited the position of Sect Master, he also used some means. Mu Mengting's behavior of prematurely eliminating competitors is not uncommon; it's something Mu Qingliu had done in the past.
However.
There should be a bottom line to such behavior.
Jun Dongjin being transferred out of Daoist Immortal Mountain was already far from the center of power, and his abilities were good, with a clear distinction between public and private matters. Keeping him alive would be far more useful than killing him.
"Huh?"
Mu Mengting looked puzzled.
He originally thought that the Master would reprimand his actions, but he didn't expect him to think he acted too hastily.
"When you reach the Void Refinement Stage, you will realize how ridiculous those past struggles were. Whether it's Jun Dongjin or anyone else, they are all pawns in your hands. Killing them is equivalent to weakening your own strength."
Mu Qingliu said calmly.
This was his greatest realization after stepping into the Void Refinement Stage.
Standing at the height of the ancient saints, some of his past behaviors seemed laughable. With absolute power, everything is subordinate.
"I..."
Mu Mengting widened his eyes.
When Master Mu Qingliu mentioned 'when he reaches the Void Refinement Stage', Mu Mengting's whole body trembled.
What did the Master mean by this? What does it mean to wait for him to step into the Void Refinement Stage?
"The order to transfer Dongjin to Mangya Mountain, don't you see, I have chosen you as the next Sect Master?"
Mu Qingliu said calmly.
"Master."
Mu Mengting was extremely excited.
Indeed.
When Jun Dongjin received the transfer order.
"The Daoist Immortal Sect occupies the 'Ascension Platform', forcing us to stay in this world," muttered the Lord of the Blood Demon to himself.
"Master."
At this moment, a blood-colored figure condensed from the Blood Demon Sea, bowing respectfully to the Lord of the Blood Demon.
"The Central Land of Divine Continent is covered with formations laid down by the Daoist Immortal Sect. To minimize losses when invading the Central Land of Divine Continent, we need to find out the specific locations of these formations and other details."
The blood-colored figure spoke softly.
"How do you plan to do it?" the Lord of the Blood Demon asked directly.
"The knowledge of these formations in the Daoist Immortal Sect is limited, and one of the people who knows is Jun Dongjin," the blood-colored figure hinted.
Over the past hundred years, it has become no secret that Jun Dongjin was transferred to Mangya Mountain.
The next Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect is almost certainly going to be Mu Mengting.
Jun Dongjin has become an abandoned pawn of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
"I believe that Jun Dongjin can be won over. As long as he can be useful to us, invading the Central Land of Divine Continent will be much easier," the blood-colored figure continued.
"Right," the Lord of the Blood Demon nodded slightly.
He can speculate that Jun Dongjin probably has grievances against the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Now is the time to win him over.
"But one thing to note."
"Jun Dongjin cannot be won over directly."
"There must be a hidden hand near Mangya Mountain from the Daoist Immortal Sect."
The Lord of the Blood Demon spoke.
"Master, do you mean..."
The blood-colored figure asked softly.
"Go to win over Jun Dongjin's son, Jun Wuji."
"Then, through Jun Wuji, win over Jun Dongjin. Only then can we ensure complete success without the Daoist Immortal Sect noticing anything unusual."
The Lord of the Blood Demon said.
"Master, you are wise."
The blood-colored figure admired and pondered for a while, deeply impressed.
Directly winning over Jun Dongjin is indeed too risky.
Jun Dongjin, as a former high-ranking member of the Daoist Immortal Sect, surely has many means of protection even if he is not being used now.
If they try to win over Jun Dongjin directly, it is undoubtedly telling the Daoist Immortal Sect what they intend to do.
On the contrary, Jun Dongjin's son has a much lower profile.
Moreover, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land is right next to the Daoist Immortal Sect, so the principle of hiding one's actions in the dark is significant. It is likely that even the Daoist Immortal Sect itself would not expect them to have any designs on Jun Wuji.
"Remember."
"Treat Jun Wuji, you must not use forceful methods, but rather small threats or promises of great benefits."
The Lord of the Blood Demon cautioned.
At the same time, he opened his palm, and a blood-red crystal appeared.
"With this, you can temporarily avoid the surveillance of the Taihao Mirror," the Lord of the Blood Demon said.
For hundreds of thousands of years, he has fought with the Daoist Immortal Sect many times.
Naturally, the Lord of the Blood Demon has accumulated some means of guarding against the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Especially that Taihao Mirror.
However.
The means to evade the surveillance of the Taihao Mirror require a great price from the Lord of the Blood Demon.
And there are many restrictions.
It cannot be widely popularized.
Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
On the top floor of the pavilion.
Lin Yuan lay back in his chair, basking in the sun leisurely.
"You may leave now," Lin Yuan waved his hand.
"Yes."
Chunhua and Qiuyue bowed and left.
It's not clear how long passed.
A blood-colored figure appeared silently in the shadow of the pavilion.
"Jun Wuji."
The blood-colored figure walked up to Lin Yuan, its voice hoarse and deep.
"I know your big secret."
The blood-colored figure stared at Jun Wuji.
"Big secret?"
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
He had long sensed the presence of the blood-colored figure.
The fact that the figure could infiltrate Divine Continent and the Cloud Mist Blessed Land came from the special aura emanating from it.
Originally, Lin Yuan wanted to see if there was anything special about the blood-colored figure's infiltration, but he was surprised to hear the figure confessing to knowing his big secret.
"Big secret?"
"Which big secret are you referring to?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned serious as he asked.
"Which big secret?"
The blood-colored figure was a bit bewildered.
Does this Jun Wuji have many secrets? Which big secret?
