It was true that Teng Mo was a Great Immortal Priest, but he also had a Great Immortal Priest backing him, so Teng Mo couldn't do anything to him. As for the position of Small Immortal Priest, he really didn't care about it. The only good thing about this place was that he could live freely. Of course, that wood type immortal vein that he had yet to obtain was also important.
Previously, he didn't find Bian Yufeng because he wasn't strong enough. Now that he was at Grand Yi Immortal Level 4, he could go find that fella.
Teng Mo said seriously, "Small Immortal Priest Lan should know that my Rising Star Immortal Court is going to participate in the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain's pill competition. This pill competition is very important to me. Previously, I didn't have any hope and could only be a salted fish. Now that I have some hope, I don't want to give up. "
He didn't care about the pill competition; it would depend on how big of an impact it would have on him. Lan Xiaobu didn't say anything; he was waiting for Teng Mo to explain.
Although he hadn't been in the Forbidden Immortal Department for long, Teng Mo had already found out everything about Lan Xiaobu. The moment Lan Xiaobu came in, he used his connections with Jin Buqiao and became an Immortal Priest. In a short few months, Lan Xiaobu let Ju Xiuruo go and used her as bait to solve the Wumu City Square case. He also got rid of the Jing King Mansion and became a Small Immortal Priest.
Even though Lan Xiaobu was a Small Immortal Priest, the most senior Small Immortal Priest here, Qi Yunshu, also listened to Lan Xiaobu's orders. Thus, it could be seen that Lan Xiaobu was not ordinary.
Because he had investigated Lan Xiaobu, Teng Mo decided to tell him his request sincerely and not play any tricks with Lan Xiaobu. The Wumu City Square case seemed to be solved by Lan Xiaobu coincidentally but Teng Mo didn't think so. How could there be so many coincidences? Any coincidence was facilitated by power. Whether it was planning or something else, it was a form of power.
"My Rising Star Immortal Court's King is already in the Immortal Emperor Stage. Soon, he will enter closed door cultivation to break through to a higher stage. Thus, the Immortal Court King hopes to pass down the legacy of the Immortal Court. My brothers have a total of 15 people; I'm considered weak, I'm not even competitive … "
Hearing this, Lan Xiaobu secretly nodded. This Teng Mo was quite honest. If this guy said that he was competitive enough and even had a bunch of people backing him up, he wouldn't participate in anything no matter what. If he cooperated with a dishonest person, he might not even know when he would be killed by the other party.
Teng Mo continued, "The Immortal Court King will choose his successor through two competitions. The first is the pill competition, and the second is how the people in the mortal world live. I won't lose to anyone in the second round, but I'm powerless in the first round. It's because the good alchemists have already been invited away by them. Or rather, those alchemists don't think highly of me. Even if I wanted to invite them, I wouldn't be able to. "
"Great Deity Priest …"
Teng Mo stopped Lan Xiaobu from speaking. "Xiao Bu, if you think highly of me, Teng Mo, then call me by my name. The title of Great Deity Priest is too distant. "
Lan Xiaobu didn't care about how he was addressed, and asked, "Brother Teng, what did you mean by the mortal world you control?"
Teng Mo glanced at Lan Xiaobu in confusion, but still explained seriously, "An Immortal Domain is located in a boundless world, who knows how many mortal planets exist there. Only when the weather is good on these mortal planets, the people will live better, and more geniuses will enter the Immortal Domain … "
Lan Xiaobu was even more confused. "Brother Teng, you're saying that the mortal world needs the Immortal Court to create clouds and rain? Not only do they have to prevent droughts and floods, but they also have to ensure that the people have no problems with basic necessities? "
Teng Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Roughly speaking, there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, the truth is far more than that."
Lan Xiaobu chuckled. "These things can be done by a slightly stronger cultivator. For example, a True God Stage cultivator, wouldn't it be easy for them to do all this? Do they need the Immortal Court to send immortals to do it? If the cultivator isn't willing to do it, then the Immortal Court wouldn't do it right? More importantly, I heard that the mortal world also has a Heavenly Dao. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter alternate, life, old age, sickness, and death are all part of the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. Why would there be a need for humans to interfere? "
Teng Mo really didn't understand why Lan Xiaobu had doubts about such simple questions, and even spoke so logically. He could only explain, "Things aren't as simple as you think. Firstly, a True God Stage cultivator can indeed create rain in a small area, but how big is a mortal world? Even if there are tens of thousands of True God Stage cultivators, they wouldn't be able to take care of it at the same time.
There's no need to talk about how no cultivator would be willing to waste time to do such a thing. Even if there were cultivators who would waste time to do such a thing, creating rain would only be a drop in the bucket. It would barely be enough for a small village in a radius of tens of miles. There's no need to talk about controlling a mortal world, and understanding the needs of this mortal world.
Moreover, if a cultivator uses a technique to create rain, the effect wouldn't be obvious, and it wouldn't solve the problem completely. It would also destroy the balance of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and leave behind hidden dangers. If you create rain at the front, there might be a huge flood or drought at the back.
As for the Heavenly Dao that you mentioned, there are indeed very few mortal worlds with complete Heavenly Dao Laws, and the cycle of the Great Dao is controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Such mortal worlds are too rare. "
Lan Xiaobu frowned, "According to what I know, the rain in the mortal world is automatically formed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. How can there be rain?"
Lan Xiaobu was all too clear about how rain was formed. There was a large amount of water vapor in the clouds, and when it reached a certain thickness, it would rain. There was also water that evaporated under the sun, and formed water vapor. When the water vapor met with the cold air, it would also form raindrops.
Towards Lan Xiaobu's question, Teng Mo only smiled, "The Immortal Court controls countless mortal affairs. I'm only using rain as an example. Many places rain, as you said, is formed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. There wouldn't be a need to interfere with every rain. However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, if a place doesn't see rain all year round, then there would be a need to interfere. Otherwise, it would lead to famine. "
Lan Xiaobu said faintly, "I don't understand this. A cultivator isn't willing to waste time to care about mortal affairs. Do you think an immortal would care about such things? Just for the sake of mortals to live better? "
If Lan Xiaobu was asked to do such things, Lan Xiaobu felt that there wouldn't be a problem. He was originally a mortal, and in his eyes, immortals and mortals were equal. The so-called immortals were only able to live a little longer by stimulating the potential of the human body. Lan Xiaobu didn't believe that all immortal cultivators had such thoughts. Many immortals didn't even hesitate to destroy a planet in order to cultivate.
This time, Teng Mo hesitated for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Brother Xiao Bu, there are some things that many people don't know, but I'm willing to tell you. Do you know what an Immortal Court relies on to exist? "
Before Lan Xiaobu could answer, Teng Mo took the initiative to answer, "It's fate and the power of wish. In the vast universe, there are endless mysterious powers. Fate can't be touched, but it's always there. The fate of the Immortal Court is condensed by itself, and the power of wish is worshipped by countless mortals. Some Immortal Courts also call this power the power of merit. Immortals who work for the mortal world can not only obtain a large amount of fate and merit, but also strengthen the fate of the Immortal Court and accumulate the power of wish. Other than that, there's something more important … "
"What?" Lan Xiaobu blurted out.
Even though no one heard it, Teng Mo still lowered his voice, "If a cultivator wants to reach a higher level, or even reach a height that no one else has ever reached before, you have to have a place where you can condense your Dao. Therefore, he had to have a place where he could condense the fate of the Great Dao. This place could be a sect, an Immortal Court, or something else. No matter what form it takes, you have to have it. You should know why we are all fighting for the successor of the Immortal Court King, right? "
Lan Xiaobu suddenly understood something. No wonder he always wanted to build an Immortal City, a sect, or even an Immortal Court after obtaining the Universe Dimensional Model.
So this was the place where he condensed his Dao. With such a place, he would be able to reach a higher level in the future.
"If your Dao doesn't have a place where you can condense your Dao, then it would be like a tree without roots, and would eventually collapse. The successor of the Immortal Court King can also condense his own Dao. This is for the sake of his future Dao. Brother Xiao Bu, in the future, if you can establish your own Pill Dao sect, I will definitely do my best to help. "Teng Mo's words could be considered as him confiding in Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu clasped his fists, "Many thanks for telling me. Tell me, how do we compete in this pill competition?"
When Teng Mo heard Lan Xiaobu's words, his spirits were lifted. After explaining so much, they finally reached the main topic.
"The entire Mo Xuan Immortal Domain attaches great importance to this pill competition. The previous Eternal Jade Alchemy Sect Competition was also held for this opportunity. As long as the Eternal Jade Alchemy Sect can get into the top 10 of the Rising Star Immortal Court's pill competition, they will have a chance to be promoted to a Seven-Star Immortal Sect. At the same time, they will obtain a mystic area and a lot of other rewards. On top of that, they will also have a chance to represent the Rising Star Immortal Court to participate in the Mo Xuan Immortal Court's pill competition. If they get a ranking, the rewards will be even greater. "
It was no wonder that Xiao Yueshui attached so much importance to this pill competition. It turned out that he wanted the Eternal Jade Alchemy Sect to be promoted to a Seven-Star Immortal Sect.
Teng Mo continued, "We have 15 sons of the Immortal Court King, but there should only be 14 of us left. As long as we represent the Rising Star Immortal Court to participate in the Mo Xuan Immortal Continent's pill competition and obtain results, we will have a chance to become the successor of the Immortal Court King. "
Lan Xiaobu asked, "Then do I have to participate in the Rising Star Immortal Court's pill competition first? After I'm selected, I can represent you in the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain's pill competition?"
"No, as the sons of the Immortal Court King, we are all qualified to participate in the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain's pill competition. However, each person can only choose two Immortal Alchemy Masters. Because I'm not favored, I haven't been able to choose an Immortal Alchemy Master to participate in the competition. " Teng Mo sighed and said. It was precisely because he couldn't choose, that he wanted to take a look at the Eternal Jade Alchemy Sect, which others looked down on.
"What are the requirements for participating in the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain's pill competition?"
"As long as your age doesn't exceed 100,000, you can participate."
After explaining, Teng Mo felt that it wasn't enough, so he added, "The first place of the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain's pill competition will receive a fire-type peak-grade immortal spiritual vein. Other than that, you will also receive a Houtian spiritual treasure pill furnace. It's rumoured that after this pill furnace is produced, everyone wants it. But there's only one pill furnace, so they might as well use it to reward the first place. Oh right, there's also a pocket dimension. "
Lan Xiaobu did not hesitate to say, "Brother Teng, I will participate in this pill competition. Tell me when it's going to start."
If he didn't fight for all these good things, then he would be a bastard.
(That's all for today's update. Good night friends! While I'm at it, I'll ask for monthly votes.)
