Wang Jixuan:...

Anyway, since we've already mentioned Mu Dan, there's nothing to hide anymore.

Wang Jixuan stood up and gave the old man a Daoist bow, and said solemnly, "Senior, I hid something before, please forgive me."

The old man smiled and shook his head, "It's human nature, if you want, you can let me help give you some advice."

"Alright."

Wang Jixuan briefly explained Mu Dan's uniqueness and the Heavenly Dao's observance that day.

The old man nodded slowly and said solemnly, "The Heavenly Dao wasn't looking for Mu Dan. That time, it was looking for you, but perhaps to avoid raising your suspicions, it focused your attention on Mu Dan."

"Why?"

"Because whether it's in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao or cultivators of my level, Mu Dan and you are one entity. Mu Dan is a part of you, akin to the relationship between your Lifebound Magical Treasure and your Primordial Spirit."

The old man continued to explain:

"If you want to seize this slim chance, I can show you a path. Find a powerful mentor and seek their protection.

Cultivators naturally defy the heavens, and there are many Great Powers and Great Divine Ability users out there who love defying the heavens."

"No need for that."

Wang Jixuan grinned sheepishly and cupped his hands:

"Senior has already guided me through confusion, which is a great help to me.

I came here to find a way to fight against the Heavenly Dao. The Dark Sect and Tianluo are like the left and right hands of the Heavenly Dao, hitting each other like clapping at mosquitoes.

The old man smiled knowingly, "You are indeed clever, essentially that is how it is."

"So, senior, do you have a way in this regard?"

Wang Jixuan asked seriously:

"I've thought hard about it and think relying on myself to fight against an organization like the Dark Sect is akin to daydreaming.

One of the reasons I came to you, senior, is to ask how the Moon God Palace rose to power back then and how I should plan to build my own force to protect my friends and myself."

The old man leaned back slightly.

"You want to imitate our Moon God Palace?"

"That's right!"

"Then do you know why the Moon God Palace fell?"

"You once said, senior, that it's because the opposing Daluo Golden Immortal was too cunning and, unable to deal with you, targeted your friends and family."

"Indeed, no matter how big and powerful a force is, it ultimately depends on the strength of its leader."

The old man spoke slowly:

"Every territory in the Immortal Realm already has a master. If you want your force to rise, you have to fight, compete, and grab it!

The path of the Moon God Palace was also about trying to break through obstinate forces, which became its ultimate fate."

Master Wang managed a bitter smile, "But that's still much better than my current situation, where I'm constantly on the back foot. I don't want to just take hits without hitting back."

The old man pondered several times.

A strand of beard grew from his chin, and he began to stroke it constantly.

Wang Jixuan waited quietly.

The old man said, "Very well, my Moon God Palace has some foundation. Helping you is no harm... go, and in three years come back here. If you pass my three tests, what if I pass this Dao inheritance to you?"

Wang Jixuan was naturally delighted upon hearing this.

He stood up and expressed his sincere gratitude.

The purposes of this trip have all been achieved, with some extra benefits.

The old man waved his hand and smiled, "Go on, outside there is a Heavenly Immortal who has been waiting for you for a long time, perhaps this is another fateful opportunity for you."

Outside?

Wang Jixuan had no time to ask more as the old man had already waved, sending out a beam of light that enveloped Wang Jixuan, making him disappear.

After Wang Jixuan left, the old man's figure gradually withered, and his flesh and blood turned into soil that fell in front of the hall.

He reverted to a skeleton, returning to his seat in the corner to stay with the other skeletons in the hall.

"Fellows, this kid was quite interesting."

All around was quiet.

The place was left in solitude.

The Giant bay tree outside the Moon God Palace swayed gently, as if eagerly anticipating the arrival of the three-year agreement.

...

'With Mu Dan, you might be able to...'

With Mu Dan?

Wang Jixuan kept reciting this phrase in his mind, with light and shadow swirling before him as his Primordial Spirit flew out of the Stone of the Past and appeared in...

Is this in Wu Man's arms?

Master Wang was about to let Wu Man take the Stone of the Past to find his body when his Primordial Spirit suddenly bristled like a cat, glaring at the middle-aged scholar in front of Wu Man, who was watching with a smile.

This scholar was wearing a white robe with embroidered clouds and Immortal Cranes on the front, adorned with a belt and dangling beautiful jade pieces, and he was gently fanning himself with a folding fan, exuding an undeniable confidence.

The middle-aged scholar cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Wang Zheng, would you come out for a meeting? I mean no harm."

Wang Jixuan:...

You say you mean no harm?

However, the senior of the Moon God Palace seemed to say this guy is at the Heavenly Immortal level.

Wasn't it said that those who descend from the Immortal Realm would be restrained by the Heavenly Dao, having to limit their power to the Mahayana Realm?

Wang Jixuan did not quite understand these convoluted matters, but he was aware of one thing.

The person before him was a real Immortal;

Also, a small expert among Immortals from the Immortal Realm.

No need to hide, just show up.

Thus, Wang Jixuan's Primordial Spirit revealed itself and greeted the middle-aged scholar with a bow, "Greetings, senior."

"Just call me fellow," the middle-aged scholar said with a smile, "Fellow Wang Zheng, no need to worry, I am not a Dark Sect member, nor part of the Heavenly Net Group, but I am familiar with both the Tianluo and Dark Sect. I came unannounced today just to meet you and ask a question."

Wang Jixuan and Wu Man were both puzzled.

"Feel free to ask, fellow."

"The one who wiped out the Dark Sect, Immortal Prohibition Wang Zheng... do you know the inside story?"

"I am not aware of the inside story," Wang Jixuan said with a wry smile, "This really is an undeserved catastrophe, I was just biding my time among the Heavenly Net Group, and then I was targeted by the Heavenly Dao."

"Hahaha!"

The middle-aged scholar laughed heartily and glanced around, "This is not the place to talk, do you have good wine? Do you have delicacies? Let us chat properly, while we wait for other fellows."

Wang Jixuan asked, "What is your intention?"

"To get to know you better," said the middle-aged scholar,

"We are a small group of people not favored by the Heavenly Dao, and we don't like to yield to it either.

"However, we cannot easily get caught up in cause and effect, or the Heavenly Dao will take advantage of us, leading to our doom.

"None of us has seen a cultivator openly targeted by the Heavenly Dao, especially one not even at the level of an Immortal yet, so everyone is exceedingly curious to see what makes you noteworthy."

This middle-aged scholar kept raising his brows:

"You should first find your body.

"Also, let me remind you, a group of Dark Sect members is approaching, and they can be here in three to five days.

"I can recommend you to our group."

Wang Jixuan chuckled awkwardly and turned to Wu Man, then immediately began arranging evacuations and preparations for battle.

"Please, this way, fellow."

Wang Jixuan calmed himself, gestured for the middle-aged scholar to proceed, his Primordial Spirit enveloped the Stone of the Past transforming into a beam and vanished.

The middle-aged scholar turned and noticed, "That stone seems to be a Heavy Treasure."

Next to him, Wu Man tensed up.

But the middle-aged scholar said nothing more, he walked away with his hands behind his back, casually breaking the Jade Talisman hanging in his belt.
