Mowen followed Palace Master Jie out of the stone pavilion, but he did not go outside. Instead, he turned into a secret pavilion and went straight underground.
After an unknown amount of time, a stone door opened in front of him. With a rumbling sound, the torches on both sides lit up, illuminating a spacious hall. There were copper pillars with ghost patterns erected all around.
Palace Master Jie said, "Wait here," and walked towards the inner hall.
Mo Wen was still standing there, not daring to move.
After a while, a man with a long beard walked out from the side hall corridor. His hair was loose and his feet were bare. His skin was fair and his face was strong. His eyes were deep and his eyes were like the sword gleam of the night. It was extremely piercing. Jie Gong Shishi was following behind him with his head lowered.
Mo Wen recognized that this person was Grand Palace Master Mo Du. He hurriedly followed the etiquette, bowed three times and put his palms together in front of him. He said respectfully, "Student Mo Wen pays respect to Grand Palace Master."
The Grand Palace Master was the Grand Mystic Cultivator of the country. His ability was enough to fight with the ancient demons. Among the four major academies, the Black Garment Stage was ranked last, but it had always been the most trusted by the monarch. This Grand Palace Master was a member of the Duke. In front of this person, he did not dare to address himself as a student. He could only call himself "Student Servant".
Mo Du sat down in front of the platform, his expression rather amiable as he said, "You are the first to return, so you must have borrowed the help of the diagram. This shows that you are more diligent than others."
Mo Wen said, "I dare not accept the Grand Palace Master's praise."
Mo Du made a sound of acknowledgement and stretched out his hand to press on the corner of the table. He looked straight at him and said, "Tell me in detail about what you have obtained from the outer appearance of the sea border."
Mo Wen agreed. He had been in the Occupation Department for a whole year, so he skipped over the details and picked out the important ones.
After Mo Du heard it, he said thoughtfully, "You said that the huge fish flying in the sky seemed to be controlled by someone?"
Mo Wen said with certainty: "Yes, the student used the mirror basin bestowed upon him to look at it, and vaguely saw a few blurry human figures on top of the big fish's head. Just Now, after looking at it for a moment, the mirror basin cracked by itself, and the life-protecting Sun markings on the student's body all cracked. There's nothing left. "
Palace Master Jie cupped his hands and said: "Grand Palace Master, that mirror basin was made by Jia Xin."
Mo Du's expression turned solemn as he said, "An item made by such a great craftsman. Even Ancient Demons can be seen from afar, but I can't see the appearance of a human. Could it be that he has already reached that realm … "
Palace Master Jie was shocked and said, "This, Grand Palace Master is saying …"
Mo Du waved his hand. Stopping him from continuing, he turned to look at Mo Wen and said, "Just Now, you said that you met a child in the Zhan Division who was illiterate. But after seeing him for the first time, he was able to memorize seventy to eighty percent of the Hundred Character Study?"
Mo Wen bowed and said, "Yes, the servant saw that he was a promising talent, so he gave the magical bone to him."
Mo Du said, "You have mishandled this matter."
Mo Wen was terrified. Leaning down, he hit his forehead on the ground and said, "It was the study servant who acted on his own."
Mo Du shook his head and said, "I am not talking about this, but you did not bring him back."
Mo Wen couldn't help but be stunned.
Mo Du sighed and said, "Seven to eight years old and able to memorize more than eighty percent of the Hundred Character Study, such talent is rare even in the Plain Wind Platform. If we can nurture him well, he will definitely become a Xuan Teacher in the future, and my Black Garment Platform will have less constraints. For such a talent, even if you came two days later, what can you do? "
Mo Wen was even more terrified and said, "It is the study servant who has mishandled."
Palace Master Jie explained from the side, "Grand Palace Master. The study servant is also wholeheartedly for the academy. "
Mo Du said, "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Mo Wen has done a good job this time, so he can be rewarded with double the amount of blood medicine. But for losing a talent, the punishment will be reduced by half. When will he be found? "
Mo Wen said solemnly, "Thank you Grand Palace Master for your reward. The study servant will move now, and if I do not find that child, I will not return to the palace!"
When he finished, he gave a heavy kowtow.
Mo Du looked at Palace Master Jie and the latter nodded. He walked to the side and pushed open a secret door, saying, "Follow me."
Mo Wen bowed again and retreated with Palace Master Jie.
After the two of them retreated, a person came out from behind the stone screen. He was in his thirties, had a short beard, and his footsteps were steady. This person was Shen Fang Country's young master, Shu Chi. Because the country's king was old, he was not in the mood to take care of the country's affairs, so the country's authority had long been in his hands.
He stroked his beard and said, "Grand Palace Master, do you think that the thing that came from beyond the heavens is that fierce creature?"
Mo Du thought about it and shook his head, saying, "It doesn't seem like it. Rumor has it that the fierce creature is cruel and vicious, and it comes once every ten thousand years. It has only been seven thousand years, so it shouldn't come at this time."
Seven thousand years ago was when the Eastern Barren Divine Kingdom was at its peak. However, in the records, there was a fierce creature that came from beyond the heavens. The Divine Kingdom's Grand Priest, Gonggong Tuo, led the people to face the enemy. Rumor had it that after a great battle, although Gonggong Tuo managed to repel the creature, he was severely injured. After his death, the Divine Kingdom fell apart.
Master Xue smiled and said, "You're right. Moreover, this is just a rumor. Some parts are too bizarre. No one can be sure if that fierce creature really exists or not. Even if it is true, isn't the Country of Human Dao still existing? So it's nothing much."
Mo Du's expression was serious, "Even if it isn't that fierce creature, the person who came cannot be underestimated. It is very likely that he has also reached that level."
Master Xue was shocked, "Is that possible?"
Mo Du said plainly, "The person who came could break this heaven and earth, which is similar to the records from seven thousand years ago. Moreover, there might be more than one person who came this time."
Above the Spiritual Form was the Mystic Enlightenment. At this level, one could be called a Great Mystic Scholar. This was also the origin of the name Mystic Scholar. However, above this, there was actually another realm.
At that realm, one could try to go above the heavens and catch a strand of Nine Heavens Purple Qi. After swallowing it with elixirs, one could travel above the sun and moon, and ride a boat in the Milky Way. Rumor had it that Gonggong Tuo had this ability back then. However, after thousands of years, no Great Mystic Scholar could cross this barrier.
The smile on Master Xue's face slowly disappeared, and he frowned. He thought for a while and said, "There was a strange phenomenon in the sky yesterday. I wonder what the Eastern Barren Kingdom said?"
The Gong Family of the Eastern Barren Kingdom was the descendant of the Celestial Kingdom. Thus, all the countries in the Eastern Barren Kingdom addressed them as the Upper Kingdom. However, after thousands of years, many vassal states gradually rose up, and in terms of national power, they were not much weaker. For example, the Shenfang Kingdom imitated the ancient scholarly system and set up the learning platform system. There were tens of thousands of Mystic Scholars in the country. In addition, in these hundreds of years, they had also annexed many small countries. Their territory was much larger than the Eastern Barren Kingdom, and they were like a big country in the south. Thus, their words were not that polite.
Mo Du took out a piece of silk and said, "Most of the Eastern Barren Kingdom's discussion is here. You can take a look."
Master Xue took it and looked at it with interest. He sneered, "What do you mean by telling all countries that without a clear order, they are not allowed to communicate with outsiders? Do they really think that this is the time when the Celestial Kingdom controls humanity?"
Mo Du said plainly, "What do you think?"
Master Xue's face was filled with disdain, "What does the Shenfang Kingdom's actions have to do with the Eastern Barren Kingdom? They can't control me. Great Palace Master, you can send a capable person to investigate the background of those outsiders. "
Mo Du shook his head and said, "If you insist, then I can only go personally. No one else can do it."
"In that case …" Master Xue thought for a while and agreed, "That's fine. I can only be at ease if you go. But you must meet with them before the Eastern Barren Kingdom's envoy."
He was not acting on impulse. He felt that if those outsiders had ill intentions, then the countries of the Eastern Barren Kingdom would not be able to hide from them. However, if they could sit down and discuss, as the first vassal state to make contact with them, they would definitely gain great benefits.
He believed that the Eastern Barren Kingdom also had the same idea. They were probably trying to stabilize the other countries while sending envoys. He would not let this opportunity slip from his hands.
Mo Du stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed. He said, "I understand. Make some preparations. We will depart in two hours."
Master Xue took a step back and returned the bow. He said solemnly, "Then I'll leave it to you, Great Palace Master."
In the Zhan tribe, there was a cacophony of battle cries. More than a thousand strong tribesmen stood on the veranda, and under the command of the old chief, they kept hurling sharpened stone javelins down, knocking down the demons that were climbing up the walls. Every time a demon fell to the ground, it would be swarmed by the other demons and torn to shreds in an instant.
However, this was of no use. There was still an endless stream of demons climbing up from below.
A Ding Zhuang hurried over and said anxiously, "Chief, the spears are running out."
The old chief was very calm and said, "There are stones on the cliff. I've already ordered the women in the tribe to polish them. Moreover, these demons are from the sea and can't stay on land for long. Just hold on a little longer. When noon comes, they won't be able to stand the sun and will naturally retreat."
Ding Zhuang felt that what he said made sense and was infected by his calmness. Instantly, his confidence increased. He wiped the sweat off his face and shouted before running back.
However, no one realized that there was a trace of haze in the old chief's eyes.
Although the demons were fierce, they usually prioritized self-preservation. No matter how hungry they were, they would never be so fearless of death. Furthermore, the demons in front of them were not from one tribe, but several. This was even more unusual. It was very likely that there was a demon leader driving them from behind.
He sighed inwardly, "Looks like the tribe can't hold on much longer. Fortunately, Jun 'er has been sent out Just Now. Even if all the people in the tribe die, I'll buy him enough time."
At this moment, Zhan Lu was carefully lying on top of a large rock and looking down. After receiving Mo Wenyue's teachings, he was like a completely different person from a month ago. His knowledge was far above that of the Zhan tribe. He knew that the situation in front of him was very wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
He looked around anxiously. After a long time, his body suddenly trembled and his eyes widened. He saw a pair of fierce eyes hidden in the waves far away, looking at him with a trace of mockery and cruelty.
He hurriedly lay down, his heart thumping non-stop. Although he didn't know what it was, he could feel that he could lose his life if he stayed in the tribe. The best thing to do was to leave this place as soon as possible.
In the past, he would never have dared to have such a thought. But right now, it was very natural for him to think about it.
He knew that there was a soft ladder behind the cliff. Normally, it was hidden in the Frog's Belly Vine. As long as he smeared a medicinal liquid on his body, he would be able to retreat in times of danger. However, the Frog's Belly Vine had almost been completely eaten by the birds in the past month. He was confident that he could slip away without the medicinal liquid.
However, he still had an older sister who was serving the old chief. He didn't want to leave alone, so he secretly climbed up to the top of the cliff. Luckily, no one noticed a child like him.
Just as the battle between the humans and the demons was getting intense, thousands of miles away, a man in black robes with a cold expression was flying through the air, stepping on the strong wind as he approached.
