"Open!"

In the azure sky, Lin Mo lightly called out, and a rippling water curtain appeared before him. As he passed through, four towering peaks stood majestically, with a lake in the middle as gorgeous as a sapphire, where the spiritual energy was around ten times richer than outside.

The Green Dragon Martial Arts School, Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, and Qilin Martial Arts School occupied the four peaks with the richest spiritual energy, and each of these peaks was already filled with disciples from their respective martial arts schools.

"It seems that the martial arts schools have changed quite a bit in these three years. As the nominal master of the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, I don't seem to have managed much." Lin

Mo showed a trace of helplessness at the corner of his mouth.

He immediately flew towards the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, simultaneously sensing a powerful presence approaching. In the

Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, two figures quickly flew out.

The two hovered in the air in front of Lin Mo, initially stunned, then promptly greeted him with respect. "

Zhuang Ziruo"

Wu Yihan"

"Greetings, Master!"

"So it's you two." Lin Mo glanced at the two, recognizing them as Zhuang Ziruo, the successor of the Emei, and Wu Yihan, the Baji inheritor, both of whom had some history with him a few years back.

Back then, both were ranked among the top ten geniuses on the Qingyun List. Now, they had joined the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, significantly advancing in their strengths, reaching the early-stage Innate realm and Star Wheel Mirror Three Stars level.

"Master, you haven't returned in a long time." Wu Yihan raised his head, his eyes like the night, and spoke.

Both were experts on the Qingyun List at the time, initially feeling indignant about Lin Mo holding the top position, until they saw Lin Mo effortlessly defeat the Second Generation Sword Saint of Sang Country. It was then they realized just how vast the gap had grown.

"Hmm, let's head to the martial arts hall first." Lin

Mo nodded lightly, turning into a stream of light as he flew towards the top palace of the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall. "

Master." At

this moment, Yingzi and several others flew out of the palace within the martial arts hall, waiting in the square outside the palace.

"Qiuyue, I see the Master." At

Yingzi's side stood a gentle and elegant figure, like someone straight out of ancient times, who respectfully said. "

Aixinjueluo Qiuyue, I didn't expect to find you at the martial arts hall too."

Seeing an old acquaintance, Lin Mo's heart, weighed down by his mother's illness, felt a slight relief.

"The Master seldom visits the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall. I've been here a long time," Qiuyue said with a helpless laugh. Initially

ranked first on the Qingyun List, Qiuyue was eventually defeated by Lin Mo, brought down from the divine altar, and with Lin Mo's help in the Kunlun Mountain Range, Qiuyue broke through to the Divine Force realm. Now, Qiuyue was a formidable force with the power of the Star Wheel Mirror Six Stars. "

"You've actually reached the Star Wheel Mirror Six Stars?" Lin Mo's eyes widened.

"Ahem," Lin

Mo lightly coughed, and the fragmented whispers on the plaza slowly faded. The gazes of many martial arts school disciples focused on Lin Mo, filled with boundless admiration and reverence.

After all, in their hearts, the founders of the Four Great Martial Arts Schools were all highly respected superpowerful warriors.

"As a Master, I indeed haven't been very responsible, rarely managing the affairs of the martial arts hall these years. However, with Yingzi as the Deputy Master, Qiuyue as the Deputy Master, and several other supervisors, I believe they will certainly help you improve your skills!"

Lin Mo said softly.

Though not loud, the words were transmitted clearly, thanks to the True Yuan, into everyone's ears. Moreover, due to Lin Mo's formidable power of the soul, the words seemed to imprint directly onto each person's soul, so clear that it would remain there eternally unless the soul itself vanished.

"The martial arts hall is not a school. You come from the vast lands of Lan Country with various identities and backgrounds, but once you gather at the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, you all become equal. Once the geniuses you were are no longer dazzling here, because the martial arts hall holds those even more genius, with talent surpassing Lin Yue's strength."

"You must strive to become powerful. Only by becoming powerful can you access more resources. With greater ability comes greater responsibility. Only by having the power can you protect your loved ones, your family, your nation, and the people you wish to shield."

"The martial arts hall frames a lone rule: the strong are kings. Yet, you must always foster humility and a mindset for growth, because the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall is merely the starting point on the path of the strong. There's a wider world out there, a more colorful world waiting for you; strong young people make a strong nation!" Lin

Mo's voice was like rolling thunder, carried by powerful telekinesis into everyone's ears and souls. Lan

Country appears to have formed the Four Great Martial Arts Schools, but compared to true first-tier sects and supreme forces, they remain weak. Open and covert struggles abound because resources are limited. The stronger one is, the more resources they can gain.

Blue Star is Lin Mo's homeland. Before leaving, Lin Mo hopes to contribute to both Blue Star and Lan Country, so long as he holds the world in his heart, his future is limitless.

But those with narrow minds, causing conflict with their words, certainly find it hard to achieve great things. One's character and beliefs already decide a person's life and future, though these traits can be changed and nurtured postnatally. Upon

hearing Lin Mo's words, the boys and girls standing in the square had eyes that shone with fervor, clearly stirred by the words that lit their blood afire.

Indeed, Lin Mo was saying these words to stabilize their thoughts, avoiding their future missteps.

"Hereby, I will leave 800 million pieces of Starlight. Only the diligent cultivators, those who stand out, shall receive this reward!" Lin

Mo added. Beside

him, Wu Yihan, Zhuang Ziruo, and Qiuyue's eyes widened like light bulbs, staring at Lin Mo.

800 million pieces of Starlight? To

know that, within the Star Tower, even with the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall's capacity, capturing 2 million pieces of Starlight in a year is already a good harvest. Ying

zi wasn't surprised, for she had already heard about Lin Mo obtaining the Starlight. Lin

Mo had calculated that currently, he needed a billion pieces of Starlight to condense the eighth Star Power, but the current strength was insufficient for the Starlight's capacity needs. Hence

he would require a long time to condense the eighth Star Power.

Later, the required Starlight would almost be calculable in hundreds of billions. During this time, Lin Mo believed he would find ways to obtain more Starlight. Now, the surplus Starlight, temporarily unused, left at the martial arts hall would enhance its resources.

The young men and women gathered on the square covered their mouths, showing expressions of surprise.

Starlight, necessary for a martial artist's cultivation, was widely understood for its preciousness.

"So, I thank the Master on behalf of these young ones!" Zhuang Ziruo softly laughed.

With a serious face, Lin Mo said, "Remember these words always in your heart: only by not contending, the world cannot contend with you!" Among the

crowd, a bald little boy scratched his head and muttered, "What does that mean?"

"That you don't study properly, you don't even know this." A fourteen-year-old girl with braided scorpion braids pursed her lips and said, "No one is perfect. You can never satisfy everyone. Only by bowing down and humbly learning and progressing can you use the time spent in arguments to improve yourself, so that one day, no one will argue with you!"

"Is it the same as saying 'silence is golden'?" The bald boy touched his head again, seemingly realizing something.
