Hunyuan Immortal Sect.
Southern Heaven Gate's base.
In order to help his disciple Xun Song find out more about the collapse of the Buried Tablet Cliff, Elder Mu, who rarely moved, walked out of his cave abode.
As soon as he left the cave abode, he realized something was wrong with the atmosphere in the base.
The disciples that came and went all had traces of shock on their faces, as well as slight excitement.
"This Chu Mo is quite impressive …"
"That's right. Not only did he clear the trial, he's still alive and kicking …"
"He's Elder Ba's last disciple after all. How can he be ordinary?"
"Oh my, he passed the second stage the second time he entered the Ancient Stairway Tower. Back then, Senior Brother Xun Song …"
"It should be about the same, right?"
"It seems about the same, but the difference in the Ancient Stairway Tower's trials is magnified by the two of them!"
"Magnified? What do you mean? "
"It's … cough cough, nice to meet you, Elder Mu!"
…
Elder Mu nodded slightly and walked past the disciples without any change in expression.
The disciples heaved a sigh of relief after he left.
"Damn, thank goodness it's Elder Mu. If it was another elder …"
"Oh right, you didn't finish your sentence. What do you mean by magnifying?"
…
The disciple who was being stared at hesitated for a while. Finally, after thinking about it, he left after saying those words.
"The slightest difference can lead to a huge difference …"
When the disciples finally understood the meaning of this sentence …
Elder Mu, who already knew this, walked to Feng Po's cave abode but did not go in immediately.
"What a good Chu Mo …"
The second time he entered the Ancient Stairway Tower, he passed the second test …
He clearly remembered that his last disciple, Xun Song, had similar results back then.
However, similar meant that there was a difference.
"He's alive and kicking …"
Elder Mu couldn't help but think of the exhausted Xun Song he had carried back to the encampment when he thought of the four words the disciple had said.
That was the difference.
Furthermore …
When Xun Song started the trials in the Ancient Stairway Tower, his cultivation base was three levels higher than Chu Mo's.
Even for Chu Mo, hundreds of years of time were hanging over his head, preventing him from standing together with Xun Song on the Ancient Heavenly Stairway hundreds of years from now. But what he had been worried about before had now become reality — — — —
Chu Mo did not need to clear the stage at all.
As long as he performed better than Xun Song in the Ancient Heavenly Stairway, there would be another layer of pressure on Xun Song.
The most regretful thing was …
Even after confirming this, there was nothing Elder Mu could do.
Of course, it was not that he did not have the guts to argue with Elder Ba …
Instead, there was an even more dangerous situation before Xun Song, and it could even be said to be a situation of despair. It was extremely likely that his disciple would be completely surrounded after a few hundred years, and there would be no hope at all.
This was the reason why he came to Feng Po.
Among the disciples, Feng Po's aptitude wasn't the best, his cultivation wasn't the highest, and his killing power wasn't the strongest …
But in terms of conduct, Feng Po was the best.
Other things aside, Feng Po's steadiness that came from his bones was enough for Elder Mu to have the confidence to entrust him with important matters.
This could be seen from the matter of rescuing Xun Song.
After calming himself down, Elder Mu stepped forward and was about to push open the door of the cave abode, but the door opened on its own.
Frowning, Feng Po opened the door of the cave abode and bumped into Elder Mu.
When the master and disciple pair noticed each other, they both realized that the other was a little distracted and absent-minded.
Feng Po quickly retreated into the cave abode and bowed. "Master, not only did Feng Po not welcome you, but I also reprimanded you. I deserve to die …"
"Alright, I came without notice," Elder Mu said in surprise. "Feng Po, why are you so absent-minded?"
Feng Po smiled bitterly and sighed. "Master, I'm frustrated because of the two scavengers I brought back …"
While rescuing Xun Song, a group of disciples also brought back two scavengers. Elder Mu knew about this, but he did not take it to heart.
After all, no matter how earth-shattering the scavengers were, they definitely did not have the qualifications to alarm the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's inner sect elders.
From Elder Mu's point of view, his disciple being distracted because of the scavengers was even more ridiculous.
Unless …
"These two …" After pondering for a while, Elder Mu frowned and asked, "What's their relationship with you?"
"Sigh …" Feng Po sighed again. He felt that he did not know where to start. After a while, he said, "I brought them into the Hunyuan Immortal Sect … but they, they actually went to the Scorching Sun Valley for military merit …"
Elder Mu understood.
His disciple was kind-hearted. He had the responsibility to take care of the scavengers he brought into the sect.
"I'm afraid that because he was busy, he did not have time to take care of them, so …"
After understanding this point, Elder Mu sighed inwardly.
"This is their own choice, it has nothing to do with you." Elder Mu sighed. "Even if they die because of this, they can only blame themselves for being arrogant."
Hearing this, Feng Po was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Elder Mu waved his hand. "I came here to ask you to do something. This is very important, but you …"
Seeing the hesitation on his master's face, Feng Po hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, I will do my best!"
"Oh, I believe you," Elder Mu's expression relaxed, and he said with relief, "If that's the case, go to the Burial Tablet Cliff …"
After a series of instructions, Feng Po nodded repeatedly, remembering every word of his master.
"How about this …" Elder Mu thought for a while, then frowned and said, "I will try my best to think of a way to stop those two in the Scorching Sun Valley … Oh right, what are their names?"
When Elder Mu left with Xie Tian and Wu Dong's names …
Xie Tian, who was in the origin black hole, also saw the second footprint.
This time, Wu Dong squatted down and observed with Xie Tian.
Even though his cultivation was almost a realm higher than Xie Tian's, he did not notice anything at all.
"Damn, the difference between me and Xie Shao is so big …"
Wu Dong did not believe it.
At this point, he already understood that the reason he had left footprints on the soft Dao of the Heavenly Dao was because he had comprehended the Heavenly Dao Essence, leaving faint traces on the ground.
"But that is my origin. Since it left a mark, how can I not see it?"
If he could not see other people's footprints, he had nothing to say.
But he could not even see his own …
"Maybe Xie Shao is purposely scaring me …"
Just as he thought, Xie Tian stood up and said softly, "Let's go, don't talk anymore, just follow my footsteps."
Wu Dong rolled his eyes.
The situation that had originally become quite relaxed was immediately disturbed by Xie Tian's sinister words, and it immediately became a little jittery.
But then, he only walked for a little less than an hour …
Inside the black hole, there was a real sense of apprehension.
But his gaze leaped over Xie Tian's shoulder and looked at the few Demon Lieutenants who had turned to look at the two of them …
Wu Dong hid behind Xie Tian and trembled, completely forgetting that he was half a step to Heaven's Equal who could fight against Demon Lieutenants.
