Heavenly Born Cult

The so-called younger generation doesn't have a precise definition, but it generally refers to Martial Artists under the age of twenty-five with cultivation below the Fourth Rank.

Those over twenty-five, in this chaotic and crisis-ridden world, are already approaching the average lifespan and are naturally no longer considered the younger generation. Fourth Rank Martial Artists, on the other hand, correspond to the non-human realm, almost no longer human, and are naturally even less likely to be considered the younger generation.

There is an unspoken understanding between the Eight Great Sects and the Great Yuan Dynasty. Unless there are special circumstances, Martial Artists above the Fourth Rank will not attack the younger generation. After all, each faction has a Grandmaster behind them, and if they all targeted each other's juniors and descendants, it would only lead to widespread chaos.

Moreover, Martial Artists who can cultivate to the Fourth Rank are individuals with resolute Martial Dao Will and often disdain to bully the weak.

However, even so, in this world plagued by demons and rampant vengeful spirits, dangers still abound. Only geniuses who can truly grow up are considered true geniuses.

Among these younger generations, there might be future Martial Saints.

But Chen Mu wasn't too concerned.

As long as he worked a little harder and put in a little more effort, it would be impossible for anyone to surpass his promotion speed. This applied not only to his Sorcerer realm but also to his Martial Dao realm.

Now that he was a high-rank Sorcerer, his cultivation in the early stages of Martial Dao would undoubtedly accelerate significantly. It wouldn't take long for him to cultivate to the Seventh Rank of Martial Dao.

Above the Seventh Rank of Martial Dao, what is needed is the tempering of Martial Dao Will.

And according to Chen Mu's judgment, he probably wouldn't need to temper a specific Martial Dao Will, because no Martial Dao Will could be purer than his Heart Sword.

Heart Sword, using the heart as a sword, is itself a form of sword intent, even purer than sword intent.

Relying on the artistic conception of the Heart Sword, the Martial Dao Will required for the Sixth and even Fifth Ranks of Martial Dao should not be difficult for him. Therefore, these two realms only require accumulation and will still come naturally.

Only when the Martial Dao level reaches the Fourth Rank might it slow down a bit.

Chen Mu collected his thoughts.

He summoned the system interface.

[Name: Chen Mu]

[Age: 16]

[Martial Power: Five Horses Strength]

[Heart Soul: Initial Spirit lv14 (+)]

[Soul Points: 32 points]

[Soul Roaming (Netherworld) - Can be activated]

He had just received a new obsession entanglement in the Netherworld and unexpectedly gained some Soul Points.

Chen Mu naturally wouldn't waste them, so he quickly added these Soul Points to his Heart Soul.

Swish!

Golden light flickered rapidly.

Initial Spirit lv16!

His Heart Soul level increased by two small levels again. Chen Mu could feel his Heart Soul power growing by nearly a third, which was undoubtedly another significant improvement.

"Fourth Rank Sorcerer is the Day Trip realm. The Heart Soul can leave the body during the day and is no longer afraid of sunlight."

"Moreover, because the Heart Soul leaves the body, it is no longer the physical body containing the Heart Soul, but rather the Heart Soul can contain the physical body. Therefore, there will no longer be the problem of being unable to lift oneself, and one can possess the ability of physical flight."

Chen Mu recalled the descriptions in the book.

He could sense his Heart Soul growing step by step, but he could also feel that although his Heart Soul was strong now, it still couldn't leave his body during the day and still couldn't resist the sun's radiance.

Undoubtedly, the Day Trip realm was not just an increase in the power of the Heart Soul, but also required another qualitative change, making the power of the Heart Soul more condensed and the thoughts of the Heart Soul more pure and flawless.

He was not far from the Fourth Rank either.

As for his Martial Dao realm, he was currently at the Eighth Rank, not far from the Seventh Rank. With the speed and efficiency of a Fifth Rank Sorcerer absorbing spiritual energy to temper his body, it would only take another five or six days to naturally break through. However, to catch up to the Sorcerer's level, there was still a long distance to go.

Just as Chen Mu was deep in thought.

Suddenly.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Come in."

Chen Mu looked towards the door and spoke calmly.

Then he saw the door pushed open and Ren Yan walked in respectfully. After saluting Chen Mu, he immediately reported, "Second Master, last time you instructed me to keep an eye on that Xiao Feng. I've been watching her these past few days whenever I had nothing to do, and this afternoon I noticed something unusual."

"Speak."

Chen Mu looked at Ren Yan.

Ren Yan reported in a low voice, "This afternoon, I saw that Xiao Feng went out through the back door, so I quietly followed her. Then I saw her enter a very secluded alley. I waited outside for nearly two hours before I saw her come out. I don't know what she did inside, and I didn't dare to act on my own, so I quickly came to report to you, Second Master."

Ren Yan's expression was also somewhat solemn. If Xiao Feng had just gone to curry favor with other young masters and ladies, that would have been fine. But the situation this time was more than that, and there was even suspicion of colluding with outsiders.

This was not a small matter.

A maid from the Xuanguo Estate colluding with outsiders meant that there was a problem with her background. Her usual closeness to other young masters and ladies might not just be for currying favor, but more likely for doing things like gathering information.

"Oh?"

Chen Mu's eyelids lifted slightly.

He wasn't too surprised by the information Ren Yan had gathered. After all, the world was chaotic now, and the Xuanguo Estate was so large, it was normal for some people with ulterior motives to sneak in.

If that was the case, then his previous encounter with a ghost could indeed be related to Xiao Feng.

With this thought.

Chen Mu's slightly narrowed eyes first closed, then opened again. A faint, eerie light flickered in his eyes, and his gaze penetrated the doors, windows, and walls, looking towards the room where Xiao Feng lived.

Ren Yan only dared to take a quick glance, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine, as if an extremely terrifying feeling had enveloped his entire body, making it difficult for him to breathe for a moment.

He quickly lowered his head and finally managed to breathe with difficulty, but his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Although Chen Mu had never shown anything too obvious in front of him, the usual interactions, Xiao Mei's change in attitude, Chen Yao's behavior when interacting with Chen Mu these past few days, plus that gaze that made him feel his breathing stop with just one look...

There was no mistake.

His Second Master was a Sorcerer!

Ren Yan had this suspicion very early on, and now he was eighty to ninety percent sure. But Chen Mu hadn't said anything and hadn't publicly revealed his identity as a Sorcerer, so he naturally didn't dare to ask or say anything, only honestly followed Chen Mu's instructions.

Even though secretly following Xiao Feng today might be dangerous, he still bit the bullet and followed her, only not daring to follow her into that alley in the end.

"Heh, they really are everywhere."

Chen Mu stared at Xiao Feng's room, observing it carefully for a few moments, then let out a soft 'heh'.

His judgment was correct.

Xiao Feng was indeed problematic, but she had been very cautious before and hid it well. Not only did she not reveal anything herself, but there was nothing unusual in her room either.

But just now, Chen Mu finally saw something out of the ordinary.

It was a wooden plaque, hidden by Xiao Feng under a floor tile, but it still didn't escape his sight.

The wooden plaque itself wasn't special, but it was inscribed with two lines of eerie text.

Heavenly Born protects, Rebirth Extremely Blissful!

These two short lines of text contained a power that could bewitch people, clearly the work of a Sorcerer. If an ordinary person saw it, they would likely lose their minds instantly.

However, this power had no effect on Chen Mu.

And looking at the two eerie lines of text on the wooden plaque, their origin was undoubtedly clear – the Heavenly Born Cult!

Chen Mu withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Xiao Mei, go bring her here."

"Yes."

Xiao Mei, who was standing by the door, immediately responded and then headed straight for Xiao Feng's room. Immediately after, there was the sound of a door being broken down and shouts.

In less than a few breaths, Xiao Mei returned, carrying Xiao Feng.

Although Xiao Feng was slightly taller than Xiao Mei, being carried by Xiao Mei at this moment made her seem like a child, completely powerless to resist, disheveled and looking utterly pathetic.
