Chapter 984: Gathering
In order to facilitate Yingzi, Little Golden Snake, and Yao Dou's training and alchemy, Lin Mo specially bought a large villa for their cultivation.
"Master." Yingzi had two long ponytails, and her pretty face was full of joy.
"Mm, today you're coming with me to the Nine Continents Secret Realm." Lin Mo said.
"Okay." Yingzi nodded happily.
With that, Lin Mo cast a magic spell, and spiritual energy enveloped Yingzi's body. The two of them immediately transformed into two rays of flowing light, shooting straight into the sky.
Considering Yingzi's physical condition, Lin Mo could only maintain a doubled speed in flight, which would take about an hour to reach the Nine Continents Secret Realm.
An hour later.
The two streams of light flew over from afar, Lin standing in mid-air.
"Senior Fang." Lin Mo's True Yuan resonated.
Immediately, the transparent barrier ahead rippled like water waves, then quivered slightly, and Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li walked out as if from a curtain of water.
"Mr. Lin." Qi Min and the others respectfully greeted.
"Mr. Lin, the Master is already waiting for you in the martial arts school." Wu Yun said.
Lin Mo nodded, then glanced at the three of them and smiled, saying, "Have all three of you broken through to the Star Wheel Realm?"
"Yes, the Master found Starlight for us, which is why we were able to cultivate to the Star Wheel Mirror Realm." Wu Yun bowed and clasped his hands.
All five flew into the barrier, and immediately four towering peaks emerged before their eyes, shrouded in mist like an Immortal Realm.
Yingzi, having been to the Star Sect's Blessed Cave, didn't show much surprise, overlooking the vast blue lake below that was larger than the combined area of the four peaks, like a blue jewel embedded in the center of the peaks, with layers of misty white fog rippling on the surface.
"Master, is the Prison Tower underneath this lake?" Yingzi asked curiously.
"Mm. Once you reach the Star Wheel Mirror, you will be qualified to enter and seek Starlight." Lin Mo nodded.
Yingzi glanced at Qi Min and the others flying ahead, squeezed her small hands firmly, her clear eyes filled with determination, thinking, "Mm, I will also strive hard not to be a burden to the master." Five streams of flowing light swept across the sky, quickly landing on the southern peak, this time Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li could directly go to the Vermilion Bird Hall because the Three Great Martial Arts Schools shared the same rule: once at the Star Wheel Mirror, one had the qualification to enter the peak's hall and also to practice within the Prison
Tower, obtaining Starlight.
"Xiao Mo."
"Mr. Lin."
At this moment, in the vast square, Fang Tangjing and another person stood.
"Master, Instructor."
"Master, Instructor."
"Master, Instructor."
Qi Min, Wu Yun, and Du Li landed on the ground and respectfully called out.
"Alright, you three continue your cultivation." The other person waved his hand.
The three nodded and immediately flew into the palace, which contained various martial arts training facilities, theoretical lectures, and even some basic miscellaneous knowledge. As long as they reached the Star Wheel Mirror, they could enter the palace to train and select manuals for cultivation.
"Senior Fang, Instructor." Lin Mo politely said. This other person had also broken through to the Star Wheel Mirror, while Fang Tangjing had surprisingly already reached Star Wheel Mirror Three Stars. Originally, Fang Tangjing was already a martial artist of Star Wheel Mirror Two Stars. Last time, Lin Mo left some Starlight for the Masters of three martial arts schools, so it was expected that Fang Tangjing could break through to Star Wheel Mirror Three Stars
Level.
"Who is this?" Fang Tangjing immediately noticed Yingzi beside Lin Mo.
"This is my disciple, Yingzi." Lin Mo introduced.
"Master Fang, Instructor." Yingzi nodded politely.
"Mm, since you've brought her personally, let's go inside. I'll immediately convene a meeting with the three Masters and Niu Bureau." Fang Tangjing said seriously.
Everyone walked into the grand palace, led by Fang Tangjing. On the left side of the palace was a giant stone gate, about seven or eight meters high and three meters wide, giving a sense of ancient solidity.
Fang Tangjing placed his hand on the stone gate, transferring some True Yuan, and in an instant, streams of golden light flowed over the heavy stone door, forming a complex and mysterious rune, followed by creaking sounds.
Only then did the heavy stone gates slowly open, revealing an expansive space of about a thousand square meters inside, with a long stone table roughly a hundred meters at the center, flanked by two rows of stone-carved chairs.
Similar to the places where the Nine Stars Sect used to hold meetings.
Lin Mo attempted to project a strand of Divine Thought, but when it touched the black stone walls, it felt like hitting steel, resulting in a rebound.
Fang Tangjing chuckled and said, "This room should be the original place where the sect held meetings. These stone walls are inscribed with arrays, and Divine Thought cannot penetrate them."
As a strong practitioner of Star Wheel Mirror Three Stars, naturally, one's soul would also cultivate, and Fang Tangjing had apparently experimented, knowing that Divine Thought couldn't penetrate those stone walls.
Martial Artists and Cultivators actually cultivate in ways that eventually converge, but they each take extreme paths; one strengthens the body, treating it as a vessel to fill with True Yuan, while Cultivators more actively train the soul, communicating with nature's spiritual energy to exhibit powerful magic.
"Mr. Lin, Master Fang."
Just then, a rough voice sounded from outside, and soon a burly figure appeared before everyone, none other than the Master of the Green Dragon Martial Arts School, Liang Yuan.
"Azure Dragon, I didn't expect you also formed the third Star Power." Fang Tangjing glanced over, slightly surprised.
"Just because you can form the third Star Power, doesn't mean I can't?" Liang Yuan replied gruffly.
After speaking, Liang Yuan looked at Lin Mo, sincerely cupping his hands and said: "This is all thanks to Mr. Lin's help. Without the seventy thousand starlight given by Mr. Lin, I probably wouldn't have been able to form the third Star Power." Lin Mo said: "The Prison Tower is originally managed by the three of you as Masters. I only managed to obtain Starlight in the Prison Tower thanks to all three of you, Master Liang, there's no need to be so polite."
"No matter what, I, Liang, owe you a favor." Liang Yuan's straightforward personality was frank and openhearted.
"Alright then, if anything happens in the future, I'll have to trouble Master Liang." Lin Mo smiled faintly.
In fact, if there were matters even he couldn't settle, Liang Yuan probably wouldn't have much luck either.
As everyone was talking, several footfalls approached the door.
Lin Mo and Fang Tangjing turned to see Wu Jinfeng, Wu Yingxi, and another middle-aged man entering.
Wu Jinfeng and Wu Yingxi seemed to follow behind the middle-aged man slightly slower, hinting that this man's identity and status were incredibly high.
Lin Mo noticed a certain solemn and militant aura about this man, his posture straight, exuding a desolate quality, clearly a soldier who had been through the crucibles of war.
Though Earth is in an era of peace now, there still exist small areas where war persists.
"Mr. Lin, Master Fang, Master Liang.
