From the outside, the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn't look like much other than the two mountains. However, after Mo Wuji entered the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he could feel how extraordinary this sect used to be.
After entering the defensive array, there was a 30 meter wide green jade staircase that extended all the way to the peak of the mountain. From the bottom to the top of the mountain, there were all sorts of immortal residences and pavilions. In between the two mountains, there was a misty cloud. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no other mountains behind these two mountains, this would definitely be a sect with the grandeur of a major sect.
The only thing that was out of place was that the green jade staircase here was slightly dilapidated. Moreover, the god spiritual energy here seemed to be extremely sparse, so sparse that it couldn't even be compared to some ordinary cultivation cities.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge plaza and in the middle of the plaza, there was a huge statue. The statue was slightly dilapidated as though it had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
"Mo Wuji, this statue's eyes really look like yours." Yin Lin suddenly said.
Mo Wuji had already noticed the statue's eyes and they were indeed similar to his eyes.
Before Mo Wuji could say anything, a grey robed middle aged man had already brought four people down from the green jade staircase.
Mo Wuji couldn't see through this middle aged man's cultivation level but he could feel that this middle aged man was very strong, possibly even stronger than Xi Jing.
"Wei Jie (Su Xia) greets the sect head!" Wei Jie and Su Xia, who were walking at the front, hurried to bow and greet this middle aged man.
Mo Wuji and co. were shocked because a sect head came out to greet these new disciples? This seemed to have never happened before right?
The middle aged man chuckled as he took a few steps forward to support Wei Jie. "Elder Wei Jie and Su Xia must have worked hard to recruit disciples."
Wei Jie said with a face full of shame. "I've really let the sect head down as I could only find six disciples."
The middle aged man sighed. "Elder Wei Jie, this is much better than the previous few times when our Heavenly Mortal Sect couldn't even recruit a single disciple."
"This is the sect head of our Heavenly Mortal Sect. Hurry up and greet the sect head." Wei Jie turned and shouted at Mo Wuji and co.
Mo Wuji followed suit and bowed to greet the sect head.
The middle aged man waved his hand and said with a face full of smiles. "My name is Shi Su and I am the sect head of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Beside me were Heavenly Mortal Sect's Elder Pang Fengban, Elder Xu Yi, Elder Hui Yu and Elder Niu Zhitian. In the future, we will be a family. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask any one of us. "
"Many thanks Sect Head." Even though Mo Wuji and the rest did not understand what was going on, they could only thank him in unison.
Not only did the Grand Master and the Elders personally come out to welcome these newly joined disciples, they even said that if they had any questions in the future, they could ask any one of them. This was the treatment of the number one disciple of the sect!
"Su Xia, I'll have to trouble you to arrange the accommodations for the new disciples, and then explain some matters of the sect. Elder Wei Jie, you've worked hard this time. Go to the sect's cultivation sacred ground and cultivate for half a year. "Shi Su had a smile on his face as though he was in a good mood after recruiting six disciples.
"I really have to thank Sect Head for this," Wei Jie grinned as he rushed up the green jade stairs, disappearing in front of Sect Head.
Mo Wuji was speechless because this sect head didn't look like a sect head and the elders didn't look like elders. This made him suspect if he was kidnapped.
Were the fellas here the same as that Broken Sect's Zhu Yin who loved to devour cultivators' primordial spirits and souls for cultivation? However, the few of them were disciples that other sects didn't want. Even if their primordial spirits were devoured, it wouldn't be of much use.
After Sect Head Shi Su left with the few elders, Mo Wuji whispered, "Senior Sister Su Xia, how many people are there in our sect?"
Ever since they entered, other than the Sect Head and a few elders who came out to welcome them, they didn't see anyone else.
"Including the few of you who just joined, there should be close to a hundred people." Su Xia smiled as she answered.
Mo Wuji and co. instantly lost interest in talking. A sect that didn't even have a hundred people? How poor was this sect?
Su Xia also understood everyone's feelings so she didn't say anything else. The truth was that when she first entered the Heavenly Mortal Sect, she was even sadder than Mo Wuji and co. Back then, the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn't even have 50 people. Over the past few years, the number of people had increased by tens. According to the past, the Heavenly Mortal Sect had developed rapidly.
"Sister Su Xia, the Heavenly Mortal Sect looks very imposing. It must have been a big sect in the past. Why did it end up in such dire straits?" Yin Lin broke the silence.
Su Xia explained, "I heard that the Heavenly Mortal Sect was once one of the peak grade sects. It was even bigger than the Phecda God Sect and the Forgotten Creek Dao Sect. I'm not sure why, but an unforeseen event happened. During that event, the Heavenly Mortal Sect suffered heavy losses and was almost completely annihilated. Many of the Heavenly Mortal Sect's dao peaks were moved away because of that event.
Fortunately, Ancestor Pang Jie survived. Ancestor Pang Jie was only an outer disciple but he was extremely capable. He single-handedly prevented the Heavenly Mortal Sect from being completely annihilated. Our current Sect Head Shi is Ancestor Pang Jie's personal disciple. Elder Pang Fengban is also Ancestor Pang Jie's descendant. Also, the reason why the god spiritual energy here is so sparse and nobody is willing to come here is because the god spiritual veins here were extracted by someone after the war. "
Regardless of how impressive the Heavenly Mortal Sect was in the past, the current Heavenly Mortal Sect could only be described as down and out.
What made Mo Wuji and co. feel slightly better was that even though the immortal cave they were cultivating in wasn't considered luxurious, it was actually very grand.
Even though Mo Wuji was only an inner disciple, after entering the sect, everyone realised that whether it was an inner disciple or a personal disciple, they were all treated the same.
Not only was Mo Wuji allocated a well-equipped immortal cave, he was even allocated a herb farm.
As for the most important places in a sect like the Scripture Library, Assignment Hall, Technique Inheritance Hall etc, they weren't available in the Heavenly Mortal Sect.
It didn't matter if you were a personal disciple or an inner disciple, you didn't need to do any assignments. Of course, there weren't any pills or techniques for you to redeem either.
The Heavenly Mortal Sect only recruited Mo Wuji and co. for one reason and that was to increase the popularity of the Heavenly Mortal Sect.
Mo Wuji asked around and found out that the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn't restrict them from leaving. This meant that they could leave the Heavenly Mortal Sect at any time as long as they didn't withdraw from the sect. This made Mo Wuji feel much more at ease.
Because the Heavenly Mortal Sect was lacking in god spiritual energy, the moment Mo Wuji moved in, Yin Lin and co. came to look for him. They asked him if he wanted to leave the sect to search for cultivation resources.
The Heavenly Mortal Sect's residence was indeed generous and classy. They came here to cultivate and not to stay. Since they couldn't cultivate here, it was necessary for them to search for cultivation resources outside.
Mo Wuji rejected Yin Lin and co.'s suggestion because he still had some immortal veins and green crystals. He decided to cultivate to the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage before thinking of ways to step into the Nascent God Stage. Before he stepped into the Nascent God Stage, he didn't intend to leave this place. This was the God Domain where the Laws of Heaven and Earth were much higher than the Immortal World. Mo Wuji believed that even if his cultivation resources were limited, he should be able to step into the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage in a short period of time.
The greatest benefit of the Heavenly Mortal Sect was freedom. Mo Wuji installed a few defensive arrays and concealment arrays in his residence as he prepared to enter secluded cultivation. The Immortal Mortal Technique he cultivated required all 108 meridians to circulate simultaneously. Even though the god spiritual energy here was very weak, it would still cause huge ripples. He didn't want others to find out about his cultivation secret so he installed the array.
As for the energy gathering array, he didn't install it. The god spiritual energy here was already weak so Mo Wuji didn't think that there would be any difference even if he didn't install the energy gathering array.
Initially, Mo Wuji didn't take out his immortal crystals and immortal veins because he wanted to cultivate to see how weak the god spiritual energy here was.
When Mo Wuji's 108 meridians started circulating simultaneously, he was stunned.
Terrifying god spiritual energy seemed to have appeared out of nowhere as it surged into his meridians furiously before fusing with his 108 minor circulations. This rate of cultivation was more than ten times faster than when he was in the Lightning Sword Manor.
Mo Wuji was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped his cultivation. This terrifying rate of god spiritual energy absorption was simply too unbelievable.
When he stopped cultivating, the surrounding god spiritual energy seemed to have disappeared and the god spiritual energy in the entire space seemed to have become weak.
Could it be because of his Immortal Mortal Technique that he was able to absorb the dense god spiritual energy here that others couldn't see or touch?
If that was the case, he had found the right place. Mo Wuji started to get excited.
Fortunately, he was the head of a sect and he had seen the world before. After he calmed down completely, he started installing defensive arrays. He installed multiple spirit concealment arrays as he was worried that his absorption of the god spiritual energy would be too intense and he might be discovered the moment he started cultivating.
Mo Wuji was much more careful the second time he started cultivating. No matter how careful Mo Wuji was, he soon entered a state of selflessness in such an environment.
…
This was already the seventh month of Mo Wuji's closed door cultivation. In the sect head hall of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, other than Mo Wuji and a few other disciples, Sect Head Shi Su was sitting here once again. Other than the four elders that followed him previously, there was also Wei Jie, Su Xia and a few other disciples that Mo Wuji and co. had never seen before.
"Everyone is in closed door cultivation. The reason why I invited everyone here was because there are some things that my Heavenly Mortal Sect cannot avoid." Shi Su's tone was slightly lacking in confidence.
"Sect Head, feel free to speak. Even though my Heavenly Mortal Sect has fallen, as long as one of us is still around, the Heavenly Mortal Sect will not be exterminated. "Wei Jie was just short of patting his chest loudly.
Shi Su nodded and asked. "Su Xia, how are the six disciples that joined our Heavenly Mortal Sect?"
Su Xia stood up hurriedly. "Yin Lin and Di Butong had just returned to the sect and heard that something happened to Pu Jia. Ever since Mo Wuji entered the sect, he had been in closed door cultivation. On the other hand, Ku Cai wasn't in closed door cultivation. Her personality was rather eccentric and she didn't seem to know what to do. "
