Chapter 387 A Pit Meets a Pit

Before long, Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan had joined Xuan Yue Chengqing and entered the Xuan Yue clan.

Gongsun Moxuan's grandfather went along as a family member.

"This is the Crescent Moon Villa of my Xuan Yue clan. All new disciples of my Xuan Yue clan will live here."

Xuan Yuechengqing walked along, explaining as she went.

Before him lay a gentle mountain range, with beautiful green peaks and an incredibly rich spiritual aura. In addition, the purity of the forbidden energy was extremely high, and Li Lan could even sense the five elements essence constantly being generated between the earth.

This is the Immortal Clan, which possesses the best resources and cultivation grounds in the world.

Outsiders would have to pay an enormous price to obtain even a wisp of forbidden energy or a trace of the Five Elements essence, but here, it's readily available.

There are many separate courtyards around, all of which are cultivation caves. Many new disciples in these courtyards greet Xuan Yuechengqing respectfully.

"To actually have Lord Xuan Yue Cheng Qing personally accompany him, what kind of genius mission is this?"

"How envious! They could easily go to a top-tier cave to cultivate."

"Another prodigy has arrived..."

These disciples all greatly admired Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan.

What place is that?

As they were walking, Li Lan suddenly spoke, pointing in a certain direction.

There, a cluster of pagodas could be vaguely seen, their silhouettes indistinct in the thin mist.

However, as soon as he entered this place, Li Lan felt a strong aura and even felt a little apprehensive!

That aura was extremely faint and peculiar; even the most powerful cultivator would likely be unable to sense it.

However, Li Lan's body and spirit had been trapped by the primordial power for too long, so he sensed it instantly.

One of those towers, if he wasn't mistaken... should be burying something from the primordial era!

"Over there? The Demon-Suppressing Tower."

Xuan Yuechengqing spoke up, saying, "You'll be able to go there in a few days. All the family Celestial Masters, after receiving initial instruction, need to go there if they want to cultivate advanced Celestial Master techniques."

"The Demon-Suppressing Tower not only suppresses various demons, but also contains the Celestial Master's Techniques collected by our clan throughout history. As long as the opportunity is right and the corresponding test is passed, one can inherit them."

Xuan Yuechengqing explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan's heart skipped a beat!

It seems that we will have a chance to find the primordial substance in a while?

He slashed himself and came here alone from the Void Heaven Realm; his purpose was precisely this!

Only primordial matter can unlock the shackles that bind him now!

……

Before long, they reached a hillside where there were more than a dozen stone chambers, their buildings arranged in a staggered and imposing manner. At the top of the mountain, there was a natural boulder shaped like a general.

"This place is Tianshi Mountain, where my clan's Celestial Master resides."

Xuan Yuechengqing introduced, and then said, "The two of you usually cultivate here. In addition, you can also use our clan's token to go to the Scripture Pavilion and other places to read."

“Every ten days, our clan’s senior Celestial Master will come to the Celestial Master Altar in front to preach and teach. You two can go and listen more often.”

"In two months, you two will be able to choose one of our clan's Celestial Master traditions to cultivate based on your own circumstances. Once you have the complete Celestial Master tradition, I'm sure you will both shine brightly!"

As he spoke, he introduced, "These two empty Celestial Master Caves are places that only eighth-rank Celestial Masters can live in, but they happen to be empty. I have already informed the clan, and the two of you can move in and live there."

This is considered breaking with convention.

The main reason is that Gongsun Moxuan's potential is obvious to all, and even the clan attaches great importance to him after he sent the message.

These small things can naturally be easily arranged.

Even Li Lan, whose performance during the assessment was mediocre and unremarkable, was still included in the program.

There's no other reason than that Gongsun Moxuan was completely obedient to this guy named Wu Chang. If it weren't for Wu Chang, Gongsun Moxuan might have been taken away by the Bai family.

To keep Gongsun Moxuan, we must keep Wu Chang.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan both gave a slight bow.

Immediately, Xuan Yuechengqing led the two to open the cave.

"what!?"

However, as soon as Gongsun Moxuan stepped into the cave, she suddenly cried out in alarm and hurriedly retreated, her face turning pale. She exclaimed, "Snake! There's a snake!"

Li Lan and Xuan Yuecheng looked over and saw a large, snow-white snake, as thick as a thigh, lying lazily in the courtyard, flicking its tongue. When it saw the group, a cold glint flashed in its eyes, and it became somewhat wary. It arched its head, poised to attack.

Li Lan's expression darkened slightly. He had already realized that the snake was a demonic creature refined by the Celestial Master, and the malice in his eyes slowly surfaced.

Immediately, the giant snake seemed to sense some kind of threat and let out a violent hissing sound!

"What's wrong? Who are you? Don't startle my spirit snake!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and everyone turned around to see a middle-aged female cultivator rushing over.

"How is this going?"

Xuan Yuechengqing spoke with a gloomy expression.

"It's Lord Xuan Yue..."

Upon seeing Xuan Yue Cheng Qing, the middle-aged female cultivator said, "It's like this, these two Celestial Master Caves are just sitting empty anyway, so I had the Third Steward open them up so that my two spirit pets could move in and cultivate in these two caves. Is that alright?"

This woman's name was Zhou Xuanmei. She was an eighth-rank Celestial Master, and among the wild Celestial Masters recruited by the Xuan Yue family this time, her cultivation level was the highest.

Moreover, she was related to several deacons in the clan, so she had some privileges here on weekdays.

Xuan Yuecheng frowned slightly and said, "These two Celestial Master Caves already have owners. Move your pets away immediately!"

"Is someone here?"

Zhou Xuanmei was surprised and asked, "The Xuan Yue clan has recruited two more eighth-rank Celestial Masters? Where are they?"

Xuan Yuechengqing said calmly, "These two are the owners of this place."

Zhou Xuanmei immediately looked at Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan, frowning as she said, "The two of them are at most ninth-rank Celestial Masters. Lord Cheng Qing, isn't this against the rules?"

Whether it's in accordance with the rules or not is not for you to say.

Xuan Yuechengqing was quite annoyed that the other party dared to be so impolite to him.

Zhou Xuanmei's eyes held a hint of resentment, but Xuan Yuechengqing was, after all, a family steward, so she had no choice but to say, "Fine, I'll take the spirit beast away right now."

"Two Celestial Masters, we have a long future ahead of us—"

As she spoke, she gave Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan a cold look!

Clearly, she didn't dare to blame Xuan Yuechengqing, but she blamed Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan for it.

With a wave of her hand, the snow-white snake shrank rapidly, transforming into a streak of light and flying into her sleeve. At the same time, from another residence, a blue light flew over; it was a blue butterfly with eerie wings.

"You two can stay here. If you have any questions, you can contact the family at any time."

Xuan Yuechengqing spoke.

The two thanked him, and then he left immediately.

"Brother Wu Chang, that woman just now... was really amazing."

Gongsun Moxuan couldn't help but speak.

Although she disliked Zhou Xuanmei's attitude, the other party was clearly not weak; she was a genuine eighth-rank Celestial Master!

Having just joined the Xuan Yue clan, I immediately clashed with such a powerful Celestial Master, which made her quite worried about me.

"She's not that impressive. If you improve your Mo family's techniques a bit more, you could defeat her with your ninth-grade strength."

Li Lan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Moxuan was instantly startled. She looked at Li Lan in disbelief and said, "Brother Wu Chang, you, you..."

"Are you also a descendant of the ancient people?"

Their race has existed for a long time. Under the rule of the Eternal Royal Court, the various remnant tribes have long been outside the orthodoxy, living and dying on their own, and many have already perished.

Even those tribes that still exist have forgotten their origins over the endless river of time. They cannot explain what their ancestors were, cannot remember the past, and cannot find the future. So they live in a daze, numb and confused, until their tribes gradually wither away.

However, their clan has always preserved a faint lineage, and through the secrets passed down orally, they are the inheritors of the ancient Mo family of immortals!

It is precisely this inheritance that enabled her to awaken and become a Celestial Master.

However, in the Eternal True Realm, everything about the ancient ancestral gods and immortals has long been forgotten by the world due to the intentional concealment by the Eternal Royal Court, and most people are even unaware of the existence of the Mohist school.

How did Wu Chang find out?

"I only had some connection with the Mohists."

Li Lan simply said, "I once encountered a cultivation manual inside an ancient stone tower. The one I gave you before originated from it. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Moxuan was overjoyed!

Their lineage was already broken and weak, not complete at all. If they could obtain Li Lan's mental cultivation manual, perhaps the entire clan would prosper and be passed down!

The two immediately entered the residence, where Li Lan explained to her the methods of the Mohist school from the past.

Gongsun Moxuan listened with rapt attention. She felt that every word Li Lan spoke was like a direct hit to the core of her being, like a beam of starlight carrying her soul on a journey through the vast universe.

In reality, if others were to listen to such profound truths, it would be like listening to a book written in the heavens; they would be completely unable to understand it, and might even faint or vomit on the spot due to the overwhelming amount of information, unable to bear it.

However, Li Lan has now mastered the vast secrets of the Mohist school, forming its core essence. Moreover, he explains it in a simple and profound way, so that even a young child can see the Dao under Li Lan's guidance!

Much later.

Li Lan had stopped, but Gongsun Moxuan had already entered a meditative state. She sat cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed, still lingering in the afterglow of the Great Dao.

She has entered the realm of enlightenment, and once she breaks through, she will undergo a complete transformation.

From now on, the ancient Mohist school will have one more living successor!

Li Lan did not disturb her, but left silently. He climbed to the top of the mountain and calmly gazed into the distance.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever considered the Celestial Master's inheritance within that tower?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away. Li Lan turned his head calmly and saw a young man with a topknot and a long sword on his back who had walked over at some point and spoke to him.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Li Lan said.

"Gu Yijian".

He looked at Li Lan and said, "You've offended Zhou Xuanmei, but I can protect you."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan couldn't help but smile.

"Among the Celestial Masters recruited by the Xuan Yue Clan this year, only Zhou Xuanmei and I have reached the eighth rank."

Seeing Li Lan's reaction, Gu Yijian frowned slightly: "If you want to obtain the inheritance in the second level of the tower forest, you must choose to follow her or follow me."

"The second layer of towers?" Li Lan asked.

"of course."

Gu Yijian said, "The Xuan Yue Clan's Tower Forest has three levels in total. The first level is the easiest to enter, and the assessment is the simplest. Almost everyone can obtain the inheritance from it."
