Mo Douguang Breaks Through

"Not at all, I'm still far behind Senior Brother Mo."

Chen Mobai is always quite humble in front of his own people.

And this is the truth. Mo Douguang recognized as the number one Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland in the past hundred years. He is a true genius in swordsmanship.

Unlike him, who relies entirely on initiation, his knowledge is very superficial.

"Nan Shidao also died at my hands. You can also send people to take over the territory of the Hong Kingdom."

At this moment, Mo Douguang said something that made Fu Zongjue more surprised.

"Nan Shidao is dead?!"

"Well, don't you Puppetry always like to lurk your true form near the battlefield and micromanage it? After Junior Brother Chen killed the Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers with one sword, I used my Sword Heart to sense the surroundings and sure enough, I found his leaked aura below. He disguised himself as a Rogue Cultivator on the battlefield, so I went down and killed him."

"Senior Brother Mo is amazing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but admire him.

He was so focused on fighting Nan Xuanjing that he didn't even notice when Mo Douguang killed Nan Shidao.

It can only be said that once Sword Cultivator, killing cultivators of lower cultivation levels is truly as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Mo Douguang shook his head, not taking credit. "If it weren't for you slaying the Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers, I probably wouldn't have been able to kill him either. Junior Brother Chen deserves the greatest credit for this victory."

"Six Armor Heavenly Soldiers?! Nan Shidao actually mastered this!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue exclaimed in surprise. As Puppetry, the only Puppetry Technique he could respect in the Eastern Wasteland was the one passed down from Six Armor Mountain.

"Here you go. I knew you wanted this, so I found it in his storage bag."

Mo Douguang tossed a yellowed book to Fu Zongjue, who took it with a delighted expression and eagerly began to read it.

During the viewing, Fu Zongjue's facial expressions were very rich, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning, and sometimes suddenly realizing something.

"What's wrong?"

"This Six Armor Heavenly God Puppetry seems to be a different system from the Longevity Puppetry Technique I cultivate, but it also seems to be related. I still need to carefully consider its mysteries. Moreover, compared to the Longevity Wood Dragon, the Six Jia Heavenly Generals seems to be easier to master. I think if I want to become Fourth-tier Puppeteer, I may need to switch my focus to this."

After hearing Fu Zongjue's words, Chen Mobai and Mo Douguang were genuinely happy for him.

In the Eastern Wasteland, it is extremely difficult to Nascent Formation.

With the Nascent Formation stage being a distant dream, mastering a Fourth Grade Hundred Arts of Cultivation becomes the aspiration of Core Formation Cultivator.

However, in the Eastern Wasteland, only Zhou Shengqing is Fourth-tier Talisman Master and Yan Shaoyin is Fourth Tier Alchemist.

Becoming Fourth-tier Puppeteer is even more difficult, since this Hundred Arts of Cultivation is considered a niche skill in the Eastern Wasteland. If it weren't for the immense effort Fu Zongjue has put into this skill, he would have even considered giving it up and learning Artifact Refining instead.

However, now that he has obtained the inheritance of Six Armor Mountain, Fu Zongjue sees hope for himself to become Fourth-tier Puppeteer.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo."

After reading it, Fu Zongjue solemnly thanked Mo Douguang, but the latter shook his head and instead clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Mobai.

Mo Douguang: "I should also thank Junior Brother Chen. The Purple Splendor Sword Canon showed me the path ahead."

Chen Mobai: "I am very happy to be able to help Senior Brother Mo."

Mo Douguang: "I'll leave the cleanup to you guys. I'm going back to Golden Light Cliff now."

After saying this, Mo Douguang suddenly threw his Longevity Sword at Chen Mobai, who caught it with a surprised look. "Senior Brother Mo, what is the meaning of this?"

"Back then, my master left me three strands of Primordial True Qi so that I could comprehend the Primordial Dao Fruit."

"One strand merged into my body, one strand was refined into this Longevity Sword, and the other strand remained in the Primordial Stone."

"The Primordial Stone is the core of the Golden Light Cliff's Array Formation and cannot be moved, so you should take this Longevity Sword and study it for now. However, the Primordial True Qi in this sword has been tainted by my essence and spirit, and is now somewhat impure. If you have time in the future, you can come to Golden Light Cliff to study the most original Primordial True Qi left by your master in the Primordial Stone."

While Mo Douguang was speaking, Fu Zongjue also Telepathic Message to Chen Mobai, telling him why the former had given him the Primordial True Qi to comprehend: it was to thank him for the Purple Splendor Sword Canon he had given him.

"Isn't the Primordial Dao Fruit something that only those with Heavenly Earth Spiritual Root can cultivate and comprehend?"

After listening, Chen Mobai asked with some curiosity.

"That is the orthodox method of cultivation. My master had another idea back then and chose me. However, I made Dao Heart Oath the Dao before my master, so I cannot tell you about it."

By saying these words, Mo Douguang was already treating Chen Mobai as the person he trusted most.

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded, then raised the Longevity Sword with both hands, intending to return it. "This sword is Senior Brother Mo's natal sword, and my Spiritual Root is fire, so I cannot cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit. Please take it back, Senior Brother Mo."

He was clear about his own talent; if he really wanted to Nascent Formation or even the Deity Transformation stage, it would be best to focus all his efforts on the Pure Yang Scroll.

After all, this Immortal Sect's Nascent Spirit Transmutation Cultivation Technique only requires enough Spirit Stone to have the hope of breaking through to a higher realm.

It suits him best.

Even if one were to be distracted by the Primordial Dao Fruit, it would only be when one's cultivation reaches a bottleneck and cannot break through it, at which point one would think of drawing parallels and trying to comprehend it.

"Junior Brother Chen is indeed Sword Cultivator; his Sword Heart is pure and untainted."

Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Mo Douguang was also stunned for a moment, then seemed to be deep in thought, standing there lost in thought.

About fifteen minutes later, a loud laugh rang out.

Mo Douguang's aura seemed to have broken through a certain limit, expanding by nearly two times in an instant.

The Longevity Sword in Chen Mobai's hand also rang out and flew back into Mo Douguang's hand.

Then, the flying sword slashed through the air, unleashing a pure and clear Sword Light that sent chills down the spines of both Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue, directly slicing away a small mountain peak not far away.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough in cultivation, Senior Brother Mo."

Chen Mobai's eyes sparkled with a clear, bright light as he happily congratulated Mo Douguang.

"It was only after Junior Brother Chen Chen's guidance that I was able to understand this. I realized that I had been trapped in Master's Primordial Dao Fruit for the first half of my life, and my sword was no longer pure. Now that the burden on my sword is gone, I can finally break through the bottleneck and enter the Core Formation Late Stage."

Mo Douguang, whose face was usually calm, couldn't help but burst into laughter after breaking through the bottleneck.

Upon hearing this, Fu Zongjue was filled with emotion and shock, both happy for Mo Douguang and astonished by Chen Mobai's amazing swordsmanship talent.

This junior brother not only made rapid progress in his swordsmanship, but every move he made was in accordance with the Sword Heart. He even enabled Mo Douguang had been stuck at a bottleneck for decades, to break through in one day. He was simply the embodiment of the way of the sword.

"This... is all due to Senior Brother Mo's own enlightenment and his amazing talent."

Chen Mobai waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it had nothing to do with him, but the two took it as mere modesty.

"Junior Brother Chen, please come to Golden Light Cliff when you have time. I'm going back to consolidate my cultivation first."

Mo Douguang not a man of many words. He was used to keeping kindness in his heart. Since Chen Mobai did not want the Longevity Sword, he thanked him again and then flew back to North Abyss City.

Before leaving, he found a Foundation Establishment from Golden Light Cliff, gave him a few instructions, and then disappeared from everyone's sight via the Teleportation Array.

"Senior Brother Mo is a true Sword Cultivator."

Seeing Mo Douguang, Chen Mobai couldn't help but speak up.

"Senior Brother Mo left too quickly. I was originally planning to let them go to Golden Light Cliff to occupy the territory of the Hong Kingdom. Our Divine Wood Sect is not manpower enough."

Fu Zongjue he watched Mo Douguang leave.

The Divine Wood Sect originally had Four Kingdoms under its control. After destroying the Mountain Shaking Peak, it added the Yan Kingdom and the Xiao Kingdom. Because it was fighting against the Nan Xuan Sect Foundation Establishment members and its subordinate forces have been sent here in the past ten years.

If another Hong Kingdom were added, many more Foundation Establishment would have to be sent to suppress the Six Armor Mountain area. Fu Zongjue truly felt that he had too much territory and couldn't manage it all.

These are all happy troubles.

However, even if he were to propose it, Mo Douguang would definitely not agree.

Because Golden Light Cliff lacks management talent, the Feng Country under its own sect doesn't even generate much profit. If it weren't for a Spirit Stone Mine and some mineral veins, it's likely that the resources for its disciples' cultivation wouldn't be available every year.

Currently, most of Golden Light Cliff's annual income comes from the share of revenue from the Divine Wood Sect.

Having grown accustomed to receiving resources effortlessly each year, the Sword Cultivator of Golden Light Cliff were even less inclined to venture out and manage their resources.

Anyway, just call them whenever you need to kill someone; they're the experts in that area.

After Mo Douguang left, Golden Light Cliff person leading the team in North Abyss City was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator named Ning Leshan.

Chen Mobai recognized this person; back on Green Light Island, he had served under him, fighting against the Demon Beast alongside Qi Rui and others.

Unexpectedly, the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator who was once out of reach is now respectfully Chen Mobai and addressing him as Ancestor.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor Chen. Before Ancestor Mo departed, he instructed us to follow your orders in all matters."

"No need for formalities. When I Rogue Cultivator, I received your protection. Do you remember?" Chen Mobai was also very happy to see Ning Leshan with his three long beards. The higher one's cultivation level, the more one likes to reminisce about the past.

"This... please forgive my poor eyesight, I don't know when I have met Old Ancestor Chen?"

Ning Leshan had no recollection of it at all. After all, he had only paused in mid-air for a moment and said a few words to Wang Yuanwu of the Divine Wood Sect, who was leading the group. As for the Rogue Cultivator like Chen Mobai on the side, they hadn't even paid attention to him and had no way of remembering it.

"Cloud Dream Marsh, Green Light Island, back then you were only in the mid -Foundation Establishment stage, now you're already in the late stage. No wonder Senior Brother Mo let you lead the team. Work hard to cultivate, and maybe in the future he'll be able to call you junior brother."

Chen Mobai recounted their first meeting and spoke to Ning Leshan with an encouraging expression.

After hearing this, Ning Leshan first realized what was happening, then looked at the handsome young man sitting in front of him with a look of horror.

More than twenty years ago, this Old Ancestor Chen was just a rogue cultivator practicing Qi Refining! Ning Leshan thought that he was already very talented to have broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in these years, and was even a little proud, hoping to form the Core Formation.

Little did they know that the thing they had dreamed of all their lives, this Old Ancestor Chen had achieved in just over twenty years.

Moreover, it spans two Major Realm, from Qi Refining to Core Formation.

Is this the peerless sword genius? For the first time in his life, Ning Leshan felt utterly awestruck by someone's talent.

Mo Douguang is also very powerful, but when Ning Leshan was cultivating, Mo Douguang had already Core Formation, while he has been practicing Qi Refining Foundation Establishment for a long time, and Mo Douguang is still only Core Formation.

Ning Leshan believed that given enough time and resources, he too could reach or even surpass Mo Douguang's level.

But Ning Leshan felt that even if he spent ten or a hundred times more resources, he could only look up to Old Ancestor Chen and never surpass him.

If I had known this would happen, I should have paid more attention back then. It would be a waste for such a peerless sword genius to join the Divine Wood Sect. He could have truly shone if he had come to their Golden Light Cliff.

Just as Ning Leshan was regretting his negligence, Fu Zongjue walked in. After the great battle, he led the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect to wipe out the remnants of the Nan Xuan Sect.

Unfortunately, the opponents were also shrewd. Seeing Nan Xuanjing killed and Zhao Xuankang escape, they immediately scattered and fled.

The people from the Nan Xuan Sect escaped back to Bao Se Market Town using Teleportation Array they had set up long ago. By the time Fu Zongjue caught up with them, they had already vanished without a trace with most of the Spirit Stone resources.

Relying on his Core Formation Cultivator's Spiritual Sense, Fu Zongjue caught up with two Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Nan Xuan Sect in one direction and decisively attacked them.

However, Fu Zongjue had no interest in bullying the weak. After killing the two, he handed over the task of the pursuit to Zhou Wangshen, then gave command of the cultivator army to Yue Zutao, and returned home first.

"Junior Brother Chen, you're familiar with this place, so why don't you take the trouble to handle the cleanup while I go to the Hong Kingdom to coerce Six Armor Mountain and get their inherited Puppetry Technique."

Although Fu Zongjue obtained the most profound Puppetry Technique of Six Armor Mountain, some basic Puppetry knowledge is still essential for him to fully understand and comprehend them.

The Six Armor Mountain's lineage is even older than that of the Five Elements Sect, and their research on the Six Armor Heavenly God Puppetry is definitely much more thorough than that of Fu Zongjue. If Fu Zongjue could plunder these techniques and incorporate them into his own Puppetry Knowledge System, then he would be even more confident in becoming Fourth-tier Puppeteer.

"Senior Brother Fu, please go ahead. Do you need to bring some help?"

"Well, I'll bring some Foundation Establishment from the Punishment Hall and the Puppet Department to help out. But since Nan Shidao is dead, if the Sect Leader of Six Armor Mountain is wise, he should have opened the mountain gates wide and offered up all the Puppetry inheritances when I arrived. That way, I might be happy and spare their lives."

Amidst Fu Zongjue laughter, Quan Shanlin, the Deputy Hall Master Quan Shanlin the Punishment Hall, and An Jinghui, the Minister of the Puppet Department, along with six other Foundation Establishment Cultivator, arrived outside the door.

Once everyone was in place, Fu Zongjue wasted no time and flew directly towards the Hong Kingdom, which borders Yan Kingdom.
