Chapter 464: Storms Rise, TransformationIn the summer of 2021, with a population reserve of over one billion in the country, there were tens of millions of awakened people with decent talents. Despite the dissuasion of the Security Council, they went to hundreds of temples of major sects for qualification assessment. With the blessing of such a huge base, miracles came into being. On May 5nd, at the Lifeng Dojo under the jurisdiction of Cangwuling on the border of the southwestern district. For the first time, an outer disciple with a congenital physique was selected. When the news came out, it shocked all the sects. Even the heads and supreme elders of other sects went to the local area overnight, promising generous conditions and trying to poach people. However, Cangwu Ling sent him back to the secret realm first, and they missed the opportunity. At first, the Nine Ministries and the Security Council did not understand what the so-called innate physique was. It was only after consulting ancient books that they realized what it was. It was actually one of the best talents for cultivation, far superior to all the geniuses in the Nine Departments so far, and out of reach. Among the twenty sects that have entered the world today, there isn’t a single sect whose founder does not have an innate physique. They are all monsters born with the grace of God. As long as they can grow up smoothly, their lowest achievement will be a Taoist Lord or a Control Lord. After knowing this potential, the top leaders of the Nine Departments said they were not heartbroken, but that was a lie. Their hearts felt like they were bleeding, watching a future Taoist with unlimited potential being snatched away. However, they were powerless to stop it. Even the process and rituals for testing the aptitude of "innate physique" are not clear. Their assessment test only selects awakened people with strong superpowers and high physical potential. When it comes to geniuses who really have the potential for cultivation, their screening ability is still dwarfed by that of the secret realm sects. There are dozens or even nearly a hundred types of innate physiques. No one knows what kind of physique the man from Cangwu Ridge has. It is kept highly secret by his sect. Even his identity has been completely erased and mixed up with other disciples to prevent him from being assassinated by hostile sects when he goes out to gain experience in the future.

After this incident, dojos across the country have become more interested in discovering talented practitioners. Just one week later, news came that the ancient Kunlun sect in the northwest region had received an apprentice with the 'Taiyin physique'. His potential was among the best in a series of innate physiques. On the same day, he was sent back to the secret realm by the sect leader Ke Yue to meet his master. In the following June, July and August, people with innate physiques appeared like mushrooms after a rain. A total of 6 people were recorded by the Security Council, and they were obtained by Cangwu Ridge, Kunlun Ancient School, Danxia Pavilion, Shenlin Sect, Wanfa Sect, and Abbot Academy respectively. Among them, there are also sects that have done an extremely good job of keeping secrets and have never leaked any information on their own initiative. It is unknown how many innate physiques they have discovered. In addition, the major sects have also discovered some geniuses in cultivation whose abilities are second only to those with innate physiques. They all have the potential to grow into the leaders of a sect, and are equally rare. In just a few months, nearly ten million awakeners have been screened by various factions, and the remaining twenty million or so are still in the waiting process. Once all the tests are completed, even if the probability of being born is very small, they will still have innate physiques. Not only the Security Council suffered the disaster, but also the nine foreign universities in the country and the traditional sects in the martial arts world. All of them suffered an unprecedented reshuffle. They were not comparable to the secret realm sects, and their high-quality students were cut off. Influenced by the myths since ancient times, no one would dislike seeking the way of immortals rather than improving supernatural powers step by step and mastering a single method. Especially the elites from various major sects, they did not hesitate to show off their prowess in front of others, such as flying swords in the air, being reborn by dripping blood, and splitting mountains and seas with swords, which made many awakened people yearn for it. In October, a genius with an innate physique appeared in the Feixian Sect's dojo located in a coastal city. For some reasons, that person did not choose to join other sects. According to gossip, this person once visited the Trinity Sect and yearned to be admitted, but was not allowed to enter, so he chose the Feixian Sect. Looking across Jiuzhou, these two sects are the only ones that rank as the strongest, and they obviously have a huge gap in strength compared to other secret realm sects. However, despite his innate physique, he still could not be received by the Master of the Flying Immortal. Instead, he was accepted as the last disciple by a supreme elder of the Feixian Sect, and was named "Muxian". He had lofty ambitions that were higher than the sky, and he treated immortals like cattle and sheep, and looked down on all the Taoists in the world. Unlike other sects that were secretive about receiving disciples with innate physiques, the Feixian Sect did not deliberately conceal the news. As a result, everyone came to know that the person had the 'ancient universe physique', and possessed supernatural powers such as the movement of stars and the control of time. When it is fully developed, he can even travel through time for hundreds of years. In history, there was such a Taoist master named "Gu Zhou". The Taoist tradition he left behind was the Guangyin Ancient Pavilion, which had few staff, less than dozens of people. It was passed down for several generations, but in less than a few hundred years, it completely disappeared in the long river of history. Some say that they all passed away after their founding, and there was no one to succeed them. However, some say that among them there are those who have gradually cultivated to the extreme ancient physique, completely left this time and space, and scattered into all history from ancient times to the present, but what the truth is is unknown. Soon, more information about "Muxian" was dug out. She was 17 years old, female, a war orphan, not even a first-level psychic, and a first-year eliminated student at Yuzhuo University.

As the name suggests, students who are unable to advance to the next level of supernatural power within half a year will be judged as having no qualifications for cultivation. For the sake of students' safety and future development, they will be expelled. Overnight, the news spread like wildfire, and the department and personnel responsible for qualifications assessment at Yuzhuo University became a laughing stock. As its direct superior, the Security Council could not accept that a person with such a rare innate physique could just slip away from their jurisdiction. Wei Mingyuan, the then-president, was so angry that his blood pressure soared, and he led a group of senior executives to revise the previous qualification assessment system. At the end of the month, Shenlin Sect recruited another disciple with a congenital physique. Compared with the frequent good news from the secret realm sect, the holy land established by many ancient demon kings seems much more desolate. They don't pay much attention to talent, but instead focus on existing strength and whether the style of doing things is ruthless enough. Only the strong ones who have killed 12 demon generals can gain the favor of the ancient demon king. Even if the qualifications and bones are bad, the ancient kings have plenty of ways to cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones. Under such circumstances, there were thousands of strong people who challenged the trial, including some level 5 peak psychics and warriors at the demon-slaying level. However, they all failed at the first level, and more than of them were eaten alive by the black ice demon lizards guarding there. It was not until a sword master took action and risked his life to barely kill the demon general guarding the gate that the later comers were able to see the true appearance of the demon general of the second level. It was a lava bull, and its power was even more exaggerated than that of the demon general of the first level. As of December, all the powerful human beings who went to challenge had failed at the second level, and it was still a long way to go before they could break through the final twelfth level. Today's Kyushu is still in a delicate balance maintained by multiple parties, and within this balance there is a tit-for-tat game, with all parties trying every means to seek more advantages. Jiang Mo read a lot of posts and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the country over the past two years. At the same time, during this period, he also had to check some situations overseas. The artificial intelligence life that attacked the nine databases was forced into a desperate situation by the United States' full-scale Level 5 awakeners while fleeing. It and the intelligent life forms it developed, a total of 12 people, were about to be physically destroyed when they were kidnapped by the revived local secret forces. They were an ancient race that was skilled in witchcraft. They looked similar to humans, had dark skin, and were extremely intelligent. They had brought artificial intelligence life forms under their command and were researching all kinds of witchcraft-related data for them. They had also seized the jurisdiction of several cities and re-laid network and power facilities. In late winter of 2019, twenty-five secret realms revived in the North American plate. Unlike the situation in China, the creatures that controlled the secret realms there were all species other than humans, including undead, wizards, goblins, orcs, demons, elves, angels, behemoths, and so on. Coincidentally, mysterious creatures have revived in Europe, Africa, South America, Australia, the Antarctic and the Arctic, and the world's largest island, Greenland. They are so powerful that the flame of human civilization is like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time. After two years of confrontation, most countries in the world have been severely infiltrated and controlled by the race from the secret realm and have become puppets. All the original top human combat forces have been purged, leaving only good-for-nothings. "." Seeing this, Jiang Mo stopped sliding the mouse. Three hours had passed unknowingly. He basically got the information he wanted, so he exited the dark web and turned off the computer. At this time, Si Chong, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Jiang Mo finally showed signs of stopping, so he stepped forward and handed him a piece of letter with both hands. "Junior brother, your letter was sent by the old monster of Feixian Sect an hour ago. Seeing that you were busy, I didn't dare to disturb you." "Oh? As expected of him, he knew I was back." Jiang Mo took the letter, smiled gently, and placed it on the table. He did not rush to open it and check it. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Ming Ku who followed him, and asked, "Protector, what do you want to report?" After not seeing him for 2 years, the old man in front of him had blood and spirit that were dozens of times better than before, and his cultivation was also at the quasi-king level. Normally, he practiced in the Trinity Secret Realm. His sudden arrival this time really surprised Jiang Mo. He thought something must have happened. "Greetings, Master Xuan. I have a reason for coming here uninvited. I hope you can forgive me." Ming Ku bowed deeply. "You and Brother, please sit down. There are no outsiders here, so just be casual." Seeing that the tea on the table was empty, Jiang Mo heated up another pot and poured tea to entertain them. "Xuanzun, a few months ago, I was observing the stars at night and suddenly felt that a disaster was coming. I felt uneasy and didn't dare to be sure. I waited for many days and continued to peek into the future. Finally, I got a general direction."

Ming Ku's face was solemn, and he said word by word: "Your past grudges may backfire, so please prepare early." "Oh? Old sir, let me guess, but is it that rootless person?" Jiang Mo's intuition was quite sharp. When Ming Ku was halfway through his words, he had roughly guessed a possibility. "Yes, it is the people from the Samsara Palace who want to cause trouble for you. In addition, the Divine Sect and some ancient demon kings may intervene. Please be cautious." "Really? Then come on. It doesn't matter whether there is a reason or not. We are just a group of beasts killing each other. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." Jiang Mo smiled indifferently, not afraid of the two factions joining forces, and those beasts. Now, he has reached the quasi-seventh level of Ni Sheng Xuan Ming, and his blood reflects on the five mountains of the heavens. He was worried that he could not find a sandbag to practice with, and the Shenlin Sect and the Samsara Palace came to his doorstep at this time, which was great. As for the saying "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth", it is the profound understanding of heaven's will at his level. The more one does what he wants, the less likely he will be punished by heaven. Only when one becomes himself first and obeys heaven's will can he live freely in this world. "Humph! My junior brother is unrivaled in the world. No matter whether it's the Shenlin Sect or the Samsara Palace, I will destroy them all. No one will have an easy time!" Si Chong said proudly, his words were very confident. Over the years, he finally understood one thing: his junior brother was not only an existence that dominated the entire alien world in the old times, but even in the era when spiritual energy was revived and all the sects came together, he was still the one and only master. "But, then again, why did the Samsara Palace bother us? There is no record in the sect's history that we have any grudges with them, right?" Si Chong was puzzled and looked at Mingku, waiting for its answer. "Elder, I don't know the reason, I just know there is a predetermined result." Mingku shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly. The magical power it was born with was not omniscience and omnipotence. However, the next moment, Jiang Mo explained the confusion to the two of them, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, Brother." "The secret technique of the Samsara Palace, 'Hundred Lifetimes of Transmutation', is to separate the body and soul from the main body, transform them into a seed, and banish them to the mortal world, so that they can have their own life consciousness, experience birth, aging, sickness and death, and live a natural life. Only when they grow old and die perfectly, and die prematurely in the middle of the life, can everything be erased and condensed into a Red Dust Seal, which is added to the main body. As the number of Red Dust Seals increases, their cultivation will also rise." "As far as I know, for most disciples of the Samsara Palace, the number of Red Dust Seals is around 5, for deacons it's 10, for true disciples it's 15, for elders it's 20, for masters it's around 30, and for masters it's over 40. And whenever there's a bottleneck of 10, there's a huge gap." "However, their ancestor, who was said to have undergone a hundred lifetimes of transformation, was unable to complete that journey and stopped at the level of 81 Red Dust Seals before passing away." When Si Chong heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly thought of a person who had died a long time ago. A flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and he connected all the clues together and made a bold guess: "Junior brother, you mean that a rootless person who was killed by you might be the seed of the Master of Samsara who was exiled to the human world? Is he Wugensheng?!" "Yes, and the Red Dust Seal that the Master of Samsara is about to condense may be the one that breaks through the bottleneck. It is only because of my existence that all the previous efforts have been wasted. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a big risk to trouble me." Jiang Mo picked up the teacup and drank calmly. The clone and the original body were actually in a relationship of being wrapped and wrapped. As for this grudge, even if the Master of Reincarnation did not cause trouble for him, he would come to the door sooner or later, so it was not surprising. "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother, to give him a ride." Si Chong smiled slightly, his mood was not very disturbed. It was a past grudge that had passed almost 80 years ago, so he didn't have much hatred left. Besides, he didn't think that the Master of Reincarnation who had been hiding in the secret realm could survive this time. "Give me a ride? Not so fast. If he insists on hiding in the secret realm, I will have to pay a heavy price to kill him." "There is no guarantee that during this period, the masters of Feixian Sect, Shenlin Sect, Wanfa Sect, and some extraordinary creatures overseas will launch a surprise attack." "I am powerless to deal with it, and I have implicated you instead. However, within ten years at the latest, as long as I break through the 7th level of Xuanming, everything will be settled." Even though Jiang Mo's current condition is at its peak, he is not sure he can survive if he is asked to withstand the light of destruction again. Besides, the Samsara Secret Realm is supposed to be stronger than the Treading Void Secret Realm ruled by Mu Jue. "Oh? Junior brother, you are expected to break through again? That's great!" Hearing that Jiang Mo was about to reach the 7th level of Xuanming, Si Chong felt happy for him, but at the same time, he was filled with regret. After more than 2 years of hard work, he had only just managed to break through the 6nd level of Xuanming, while his junior brother had already reached the th level of Xuanming.

"Since you are sure, take your time. There is no need to rush." "Brother, look at what you said. You're just afraid that I want to slow down, but others won't give me the chance to slow down. So I'll just play with them." Jiang Mo smiled vaguely. He looked at the letter on the table and opened it. As expected, what caught his eyes was an invitation from Feixian Yuzhu to form an alliance. The other party actually had means and learned in advance that the Shenlin Sect, the Samsara Palace, and several other unidentified ancient demon kings had joined forces to attack the Trinity Sect and the Feixian Sect. They were even trying to win over some of the top sects that were taking a wait-and-see attitude. After two years of weighing the pros and cons, these forces have exhausted all their patience, fearing that if things drag on, there will be more and more master-level powerhouses in the Trinity Sect and the Feixian Sect. After all, more than ten secret realms have been plundered by them. "Junior brother, what does the letter say?" Si Chong asked curiously. "It's just some intelligence and a request for an alliance. Please send someone to contact the Feixian Sect later and ask their master to come over, as well as Yaochi." Jiang Mo handed the letter to Si Chong and signaled him to arrange it. "Okay, Junior Brother, I'll go right away." He took a quick glance, frowned slightly, realized the tension of the situation, and hurried to contact someone. Then, Jiang Mo cast the spell "Human Qi", using Lu Jin's innate Qi as a guide, and found Lu Jin who was still meditating in the southwest forest thousands of kilometers away, and transmitted his voice: "Go home, it's dangerous outside." "Uncle Master?!" Lu Jin, who still had his eyes closed, suddenly woke up, decisively cast a spell, and teleported back to the sect across the long distance. "you are back." "Ah." Jiang Mo looked at Lu Jin in front of him. He had become more muscular, and the cold aura around him was stronger than before. However, his white clothes were stained with dirt, and there was blood on his face. It seemed that he was fighting on equal terms with the big monster he was hunting. "how?" "I am ashamed of myself. My cultivation is a little weak and I am no match for that monster." Lu Jin frankly admitted that when it came to the battles over the past few months, he lost four times and tied once. Fortunately, the gap in strength was not big, so he was barely able to protect himself. "Just win it back next time." "It will live up to your expectations." "Okay, let me tell you something." Jiang Mo cut to the chase and repeated to him the path of cultivation that he had previously discussed with Cheng Zhen, Zhuge Yu and the others. Lu Jin's choice was decisive. He wanted to follow the path of tempering his body with the blood of the demon king. The reason was that as he refined more essence and blood, he found that the cold breath he released became stronger and stronger. It was possible that if he continued to practice in this way, the Teng Snake bloodline in his body would be completely revived. In addition, with the assistance of the Ice Flame Valley's exercises in the sect, he planned to specialize in this area and bring his strengths to the fullest. "As you like, go take a bath and chat with your brothers. I have guests to entertain later and can't take care of you." "Yes, I will come back to you when you are done."

Lu Jin clasped his fists, smiled contentedly, and left immediately. "Xuan Zun, I will take my leave and return to the secret realm first, okay?" Mingku knew that the following occasion was not suitable for it to listen in, so he slowly stood up and bowed. "Well, take care of yourself." "Thank you for your concern, Master Xuan. I will do it." After it left, a quarter of an hour later, it seemed to rush away and come back, reporting: "Junior brother, I have conveyed your meaning." "I just don't know when they will come. Do we need to make any preparations?" Si Chong was a little hesitant. He had never seen such an outrageous character before. Unlike his own junior brothers, those two old monsters were strangers to him and were the masters of a sect. It was inevitable that he would feel nervous. "No, they are already here, come with me." Jiang Mo stood up, patted Si Chong on the shoulder, walked downstairs and went to Qingxin Palace. As soon as I got downstairs, I saw two particularly terrifying auras lingering outside the mountain gate. They hid very well, without revealing any signs of danger, nor did they intrude without permission. Instead, they waited in tacit understanding. None of the people stationed at the foot of the mountain could discover their traces, and had no idea that the two masters had arrived. "Wow——!" Jiang Mo waved his hand, and a crack opened up in the mountain protection formation. Two phantoms flashed by and appeared in front of him as if teleporting. The Master of Feixian and the Master of Yaochi are here! The former was as ugly and old as ever, like a rotten corpse that had crawled out of a coffin, unkempt and trembling as he walked. The latter was a dignified and majestic woman, dressed in fairy clothes, with skin as white as cream and a stunning appearance that could be said to be unique in the world. "Xuan Zun, it's been two years since we last met. How are you?" "Greetings, Master Xuan. My name is Xing Jian." The two masters greeted Jiang Mo. In just the moment of meeting, inexplicable waves were stirred in the depths of their eyes. The Xuan Zun in front of them gave them a feeling that he was more powerful than any peers or teachers they had ever seen. "Nothing is wrong. Everything is fine." Jiang Mo smiled back and introduced the people next to him to them: "This is my senior brother, Si Chong." "Hello, Brother Si Chong!" The two masters offered polite greetings. "You're welcome, my two guests. Please come this way and have a chat." After hearing Jiang Mo's introduction and seeing the two's reactions, he seemed relieved and excited, and invited them to go to the Qingxin Palace ahead. (End of this chapter)
