Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
After the Tian Ji Sect spent large amounts of gold coins, hundreds of thousands of construction workers and architects worked day and night to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect. After a year, the Tian Ji Sect was completely completed.
Mo Wuji did not cultivate during this year of closed door cultivation, but spent all his time researching Chu Xingzi's array dao. At this moment, he could easily install an ordinary intermediate array, and he could even forge his own array flags. As for the sect's array, he had a rough plan.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to exit his closed door cultivation and install the sect protecting array, Nie Zhengnong hurried over.
Mo Wuji knew that if there was nothing special, Nie Zhengnong and co. would not disturb him during his closed door cultivation. Could the experts from the Ming Han Empire have arrived? That couldn't be right, Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian's poison had not been cured yet.
"Head senior brother, when the workers were erecting the ninth Tian Ji Pillar, there were some problems," Nie Zhengnong had a weird expression on his face.
"What problems?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. These nine Tian Ji Pillars were requested by him, and their main purpose was to increase the sect's prestige and prestige, but they did not have any other special use. Of course, after these nine Tian Ji Pillars were erected, he intended to make use of these nine pillars to install a hidden deathtrap array.
Nie Zhengnong said with a weird expression, "We found the Tian Ji Sword, and because the sect was basically completed, I sent those architects away after discovering this."
Mo Wuji was shocked, and immediately said, "Wasn't the Tian Ji Sword taken away by Lei Hongji? Why is it in the sect? "
He had investigated this matter very clearly. After Lei Hongji obtained the placings to enter the Zhen Mo Continent, the Lei Clan renamed the Tian Ji Sword to the Lei Clan Sword, and bestowed it to Lei Hongji. Moreover, the ceremony was held in Yan City, and many people witnessed it. This showed how arrogant the Yu Lin Lei Clan was.
"It's not the real Tian Ji Sword, but a stone sword. I felt that it was a little strange, so I did not get anyone to touch it, and specially came to ask head senior brother," Nie Zhengnong said respectfully.
Mo Wuji nodded, "Come, let's go take a look."
The two of them soon arrived at the Tian Ji Sword, and Mo Wuji finally got a good look at it. The stone sword was tens of meters below the ground, and half of it was still stuck in the ground. Its entire body was light grey, but it emitted a powerful aura.
This sword was actually formed from a seemingly natural word. Mo Wuji looked at it for a while before he recognised that it was the word 'Ji'. The hilt was also different from an ordinary sword hilt. It was slightly concave in the middle and had no hilt.
Mo Wuji extended his hand and pulled the stone sword out. He discovered that not only did the sword not have a sword hilt, it did not even have a sword blade. The sword ridge, the sword surface and even the sword tip were all the same thickness, with a few rather random ridges.
This stone sword truly embodied the meaning of the phrase 'a heavy sword without a sharp edge'.
"This stone sword looks exactly the same as the Tian Ji Sword. I wonder if it has any connection with the Tian Ji Sword." Nie Zhengnong said.
Mo Wuji remained silent. He carefully looked at the surroundings of the stone sword, and after a while, he suddenly trembled. He stared at the place where the sword was inserted in with some disbelief. He had been researching Chu Xingzi's Array Dao for a long time, and he had even gone into secluded cultivation for an entire year just to research Chu Xingzi's Array Dao.
At this moment, he actually discovered that this stone sword seemed to be an array base, as though it was suppressing something.
"Zhengnong, how many peaks does the Tian Ji Sect's Tian Ji Mountain have in total?" After Mo Wuji confirmed that it was indeed an array base, he suddenly asked.
Nie Zhengnong hurriedly answered, "The Tian Ji Sect is located in the Tian Ji Mountain Range, and there are at least a hundred peaks of different sizes around it. However, ever since the Tian Ji Sect was established, it has always been one main peak, and 13 secondary peaks. "
Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked. It was indeed the 13 secondary peaks, and it was about the same as what he had guessed.
If he did not guess wrongly, the Tian Ji Sect had a 13 spirit locking array, and this array locked in heaven-defying spiritual energy. If this was really the case, it would explain why the Tian Ji Sect, a place with lush mountains and clear waters, had such thin spiritual energy.
"Which 13 secondary peaks?" Mo Wuji's tone was very solemn.
Feeling Mo Wuji's solemn tone, Nie Zhengnong also felt that something was amiss, and he answered in one breath, "These 13 secondary peaks are: Tian Dao Summit, Tian Chang Summit, Tian Wu Summit, Tian Ming Summit, Tian Qi Summit, Tian Zai Summit, Tian You Summit, Tian Chuan Summit, Tian Gu Summit, Tian Zhi Summit, Tian Yu Summit, Tian Jiang Summit, and Tian Hai Summit. The 13 secondary peaks that I mentioned are arranged in descending order. Normally, the sect head would be in the Tian Ji Summit, the Tian Dao Summit would be the number one elder, and so on. "
Mo Wuji silently pondered over these 13 secondary peaks, and after a whole incense's time, he muttered to himself, "The Dao is always nameless, and exists like a valley in a river or a sea!"
When these 13 secondary peaks were grouped together, it was actually a sentence. Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind this sentence, which was that the Dao did not have a name, and could not be described with words. This sort of thing was just like the natural existence of all living things in the world. Just like the sea, all rivers and streams would flow into it, and all living things would naturally fuse with it.
Ever since Mo Wuji started cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique, he had always been cultivating according to the manual. As for why the Immortal Mortal Technique existed, he was still unclear about it, and wasn't clear. Only at this moment, did he vaguely understand.
Did cultivating the Dao require spiritual roots? Didn't he have mortal roots, but he could still cultivate the Dao? The Dao was in nature, and the Dao was everywhere. Using meridians to cultivate was merely one of the paths of the Dao, and it wasn't surprising at all. Perhaps this path was suitable for him, but it wasn't suitable for others, because everyone's Dao was different. However, everyone's goal was the same, just like a hundred streams flowing into the sea.
Perhaps one day, he could easily allow any mortal to cultivate, and that would be the true Dao. Of course, he might never reach that day, but it didn't mean that it didn't exist.
"I'll go take a look at the other secondary peaks, you send those two princes away," Mo Wuji retrieved two pills and handed them to Nie Zhengnong.
Nie Zhengnong knew about Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian, so he hurriedly said, "Head senior brother, if we let them go, wouldn't it attract the Ming Han Empire's attack?"
Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "Then let them come. Since my Tian Ji Sect has chosen to build a sect, we don't fear the Ming Han Empire."
The Ming Han Empire was after all a country, and even if they wanted to attack Tian Ji Sect, they wouldn't casually do so. It was a huge taboo for a country to attack a sect. Of course, even if they did, he wouldn't be afraid.
Now, he was more worried about Honest Qi, because this fella's cultivation should be at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. If this fella attacked Tian Ji Sect, Mo Wuji would really be fearful. The laser cannon wasn't omnipotent, and it was completely different from cultivation. The moment it was detected, it would be extremely difficult to deal with a Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage alone.
But since he had chosen to rebuild the sect, he wouldn't be afraid of anything. If even the Sect Master of a sect hid his head and showed his tail, then the sect would have lost its soul.
"The Heaven's Gate Town has already started its business, and the management will be done according to my instructions. At the same time, Tian Ji Sect is preparing to recruit disciples. You, Yiping, Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan will have to work hard. I will go take a look at the other secondary summits, and at the same time, prepare to install a sect protecting array, "Mo Wuji instructed.
If his guess was right, Tian Ji Sect was hiding a huge secret. This secret was the huge amount of spiritual energy, but it was concealed by a huge array, and had never been excavated.
"Yes, head senior brother," Nie Zhengnong immediately responded.
…
An hour later, Mo Wuji appeared at the Tian Zai Summit, which was once forcefully rented by Bei Fangjian from Tian Ji Sect. Now, Mo Wuji wanted to know if his guess was right.
After finding the exact location, Mo Wuji started to dig. In just two hours, Mo Wuji found another Tian Ji stone sword.
Just as he expected, this Tian Ji stone sword had the word 'Zai' on it.
There were indeed 13 spirit locking arrays, and Mo Wuji didn't continue to check the other secondary summits. He was sure that every secondary summit would have a stone sword like this.
Tian Ji Sect was still too weak, and even if he wanted to release these 13 spirit locking arrays, he would need to build the sect protecting array, recruit more disciples, and install the various types of ship cannons before he could do so.
Even though his ship cannons were powerful, they were limited in ammunition, and once they were used up, they would become a pile of trash.
Moreover, Mo Wuji faintly felt that these ship cannons shouldn't be used in a place like this. These ship cannons weren't used to deal with ordinary cultivators, but had a greater purpose. Wasting the ship cannons in a place like the Lost Continent, he might regret it in the future.
After returning to the Tian Ji Summit, Mo Wuji stood outside the Tian Ji Summit, and looked at the majestic and grand Tian Ji Sect, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.
Tian Ji Sect was completely rebuilt according to his wishes, and the Tian Ji River was still like a silver belt that encircled the Tian Ji Summit, passing through the many secondary summits.
From the bottom of the Tian Ji Summit to the entrance of Tian Ji Sect, there were a total of 999 steps, and the stone steps were all built with the highest grade of stone. After climbing the stone steps, there was a huge plaza, and this plaza wasn't the Tian Ji Plaza, but the sect protecting plaza. Around the plaza, Mo Wuji had installed a huge concealed garrote array.
After passing through the sect protecting plaza, there were three floating phoenix words, 'Tian Ji Sect'. These words were personally written by Mo Wuji, and he used the array to construct them in the air.
After entering the sect, there was a white jade road that was tens of meters wide, and it led directly to the real Tian Ji Plaza. Behind the Tian Ji Plaza, was the real Tian Ji Sect's hall.
The only regret Mo Wuji had was that Tian Ji Sect's foundations were too weak, and there was no Immortal Training Tower, and no Heaven Seeking Staircase.
However, to be able to rebuild Tian Ji Sect in a short one to two years, Mo Wuji was already very satisfied. Tian Ji Sect's cultivation technique was too poor, and rebuilding Tian Ji Sect required a change of technique.
His "The Dao is always nameless, and its existence is like the valley in the river and the sea!" Coupled with the fact that he had always been opening up his own meridians, perhaps he could use the Immortal Mortal Technique as the foundation for Tian Ji Sect, to rebuild a true cultivation technique.
This, was where his true ambition lay.
