Whether it was the scale, the intensity, the results, or the impact on the overall situation of the Human-Demon Battlefield …
The great victory in the Scorching Sun Valley could only be said to be mediocre.
However, because it was favored by the Sword Sovereign's will, it was still taken care of by the Four Heavenly Gates and even the Central Heavenly Gate, even though it ended strangely.
Under this kind of care, the great victory of the Scorching Sun Valley became a trend, as if it had suddenly become a milestone product in the long river of history of the war between humans and demons. Remembering it, celebrating it, publicizing it, there was absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Even the higher-ups who personally participated in the battle were somewhat nervous because they were not sure whether the Sword Sovereign himself would be the last to act. However, they did not stop this trend. Instead, they let it go.
Because this was the general trend.
Currently, it seemed that it did not have the power to turn an uncertain fact into an iron-clad fact …
However, if this went on for a long time, it might happen naturally. At that time, no matter who the last person to act was, this great victory caused by the Sword Sovereign's will was not only the glory of the Sword Sovereign, but also a stepping stone for them to improve.
Seemingly seeing through the intentions of the higher-ups, even though he sensed that Liu Zhen was full of nonsense, Mu Zun did not do anything more.
He had originally planned to take Chu Mo as his disciple with great fanfare, but he gave up on the idea because Chu Mo chose to cultivate in seclusion in the Ancient Heavenly Stairway Tower.
However, Mu Zun did not relax.
Because almost every day, the shamefaced Tan Tang would come to talk to him.
The great victory in the Scorching Sun Valley was a very good trend for the higher-ups, but to Tan Tang, it was exceptionally awkward.
If this matter was settled quickly, he might not have too much psychological burden. After all, it was a fair deal that was completed in front of the higher-ups.
However, there had been no decisive victory for a long time now. In addition, the celebration for the great victory gradually became overwhelming …
Even if he could accept the Sword Sovereign's reward from Mu Zun with confidence, he also understood that this was now impossible.
A matter that was supposed to be a great advantage for him eventually became a difficult problem that required him to come to Chu Mo every day to share. Not only was Tan Tang unhappy, but Mu Zun also did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Tan Daoyou, don't mention this again." Mu Zun said with a wry smile, "How you behaved in front of the lords at that time is how it is now, and it should be the same in the future. Besides, this is what you deserve, Fellow Daoist. Why should I feel guilty?"
"Alas, Fellow Daoist Mu, you really can't understand the Old Man's difficulties …" Tan Tang frowned, but he didn't know what to say. "Let's do it this way. Since you can't take 30% and I can take 70%, let's take 20% and 80%. Fellow Daoist, you can do it for me … Don't rush to interrupt me. Didn't Fellow Daoist just say that you don't care about these things? What's wrong with sharing some of my burdens?"
These words were so shameless that Mu Zun didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that Mu Zun did not speak, Tan Tang became anxious and blurted out, "I know that you are very interested in the Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique, but it's a pity that I only have an incomplete copy. But if you agree to this, I will give you another piece of information!"
"Oh?" Mu Zun was shocked, but he frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying … that the Old Man has an ulterior motive?"
"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand!" Tan Tang laughed dryly. "Let's not talk about anything else. Just the righteous deeds of you and your brilliant disciple are enough to prove your character. What I mean is that the Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique is most likely to be completed in your hands."
Mu Zun sighed. "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Let's not talk about this. As for the Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique … Could it be that you have collected all the clues?"
"Yes!"
"Hmm …" Mu Zun pondered for a long time and finally sighed with difficulty. "The Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique is one of the three great origin-seeking techniques of the ancient times. It's a blessing for the Nine Heavens if it can be completed … So be it. If the Old Man is fortunate enough to complete it, I will definitely offer a portion to Tan Daoyou!"
"Haha, that's a deal!" Tan Tang was overjoyed. "But …"
Mu Zun smiled and nodded. "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. The Old Man will spread the word now. As for the reward, he said that it will be divided equally, but in fact, it will be one to nine!"
"This, this can't be done, this can't be done …"
"If you didn't go to the camp, the Old Man wouldn't have gone to look for the Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique!"
"Alas, Fellow Daoist, your righteousness really makes me feel ashamed …"
…
Tan Tang was so moved that he left.
Mu Zun seemed to be deep in thought.
After an unknown period of time …
"Tiandao Pond …" With a sigh, Mu Zun stood up and looked at the Nine Heavens. "The Tiandao Pond has fallen long ago, and its whereabouts are unknown. But you said that the last part of the Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique might be in the Tiandao Pond, ha …"
A missing thing in another missing thing was meaningless to a practical person like Mu Zun.
But …
"But if I can complete the Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique, the possibility of becoming an Emperor will increase by ten percent …"
And this was only one of the benefits of the complete Taiyi Origin-Seeking Technique!
Thinking of this, Mu Zun no longer hesitated. He immediately left the cave abode and walked toward the cave abode of his last disciple, Xun Song.
Xun Song had been in seclusion for a long time.
The information that he knew was extremely limited.
Chu Mo's encounter was one, and the fact that his master had assisted the four Heavenly Sects to achieve a rare victory in the Scorching Sun Valley was the second.
Logically speaking, he should have been extremely proud of this …
However, when Mu Zun walked into his cave abode with an aura that he did not have before, he even stuttered when he congratulated his master.
This made Mu Zun, who originally had a smile on his face, frown immediately.
Thinking of how Chu Mo, who had suffered a series of setbacks according to everyone, had remained unfathomably calm from beginning to end, he was even more disappointed in his last disciple.
However, thinking of the reason why he had come, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked softly, "Did you gain anything from your seclusion during this period of time?"
"Reporting, reporting to Master, after this period of seclusion, disciple's cultivation … Ah no!" Suddenly remembering the reason why his master had asked him to go into seclusion, Xun Song immediately quivered and then said in a deep voice, "I dare not say that I gained anything, but disciple's heart has become much calmer. Thinking of the past, I regret what I did in the past. I've let down Master's teachings …"
Xun Song finished his sentence.
If he had not stuttered to congratulate Master, this could be regarded as a successful self-reflection from the depths of his spirit. However, looking at it now, it was a series of lies.
Unexpectedly, Mu Zun nodded his head in relief. "That's good. There are still over three hundred years until the Ancient Heavenly Stairway trial. If you can maintain this mentality, there is a great chance."
Xun Song was overjoyed, but he firmly suppressed his joy and kowtowed twice. "If not for Master's guidance, disciple would not have been able to return to the right path. Master's great kindness, disciple is unable to repay …"
"You and I are master and disciple, how can there be such a thing as repayment?" Mu Zun smiled and helped Xun Song up.
"But for the sake of devouring, Master has a matter that requires you to make a trip here, and this matter is also beneficial to you."
"Master, please instruct me! Disciple will not hesitate to die ten thousand times! "
