Sect Origins and Secrets

"What do you wish to ask of me?" Patriarch Mu Yang asked with a gentle smile as he stood atop Yueying Peak.

"They were my tribe before I joined the sect," Zhou Hao replied. "I want to relocate them to the Profound Heaven Realm."

"Their strongest is only at the Purple Mansion level. Even if they come to the Profound Heaven Realm, they won't have the strength to leave alone, nor will they be able to discover the sect's secrets. There's no need to worry about leaks."

"I only seek a secluded paradise to settle my tribe, so that when I venture out into the world in the future, I will not have to worry about making enemies and causing trouble for my tribe."

The Iron Ox Tribe's acceptance of him upon his arrival in the Great Xia World may seem like a small favor, but he will never forget it.

I don't ask that the Iron Ox Tribe become too powerful; as long as they can live and multiply in peace and stay away from chaos, I will consider it my duty.

"It's the Iron Ox Tribe," Patriarch Mu Yang nodded.

He was naturally aware of Zhou Hao's situation.

"This is a small matter," Patriarch Mu Yang replied. "East Yu Capital Continent is the most prosperous place in the Profound Heaven Realm. I will arrange for the sect to give them a separate city. With the Yu Lin tribe and the sect to take care of them, you can rest assured."

"Thank you, Ancestor." Zhou Hao bowed.

"No need to thank me." Patriarch Mu Yang shook his head. "Previously, our sect had been under the watchful eye of a powerful enemy. Although we were under the protection of Xia Emperor's Great Xia World, we still dared not make a rash statement. That's why we strictly prohibited the leakage of anything within the Profound Heaven Realm."

"The Three Realms are in turmoil, and great chaos is imminent. There is no escaping it now, and it is time for our Mysterious Heaven Sect to lift the ban."

"I have already spoken with Xia Emperor. The five branches of the Jade Dragon Sect in the Great Xia World will be merged into the outer sect of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. Some immortal disciples from the Profound Heaven Realm will also go to the Great Xia World to thoroughly stabilize the East Sea."

Why is the sect making such a big move?

Zhou Hao was secretly alarmed.

Not only are they lifting the ban, but they're also planning a major invasion of the Great Xia World?

Weren't we supposed to be returning to the Heavenly Realm?

Moreover, the patriarch also said that the sect's greatest enemy is watching closely.

The enemy that even a powerful sect like the Mysterious Heaven Sect considers a formidable foe, and that has remained hidden in the Profound Heaven Realm for countless years without daring to make a sound, must be no ordinary foe.

They were definitely not tribes or clans within the Great Xia World.

"When the Ancestor spoke of the sect's greatest enemy, was he referring to the Heavenly Realm?" Zhou Hao asked. "Is this what you wanted to discuss with me today?"

"That's right." Patriarch Mu Yang nodded. "Actually, this is also related to the origin of our Mysterious Heaven Sect. Within the sect, only a few Celestial Immortals like Yu Lin and Liang Jin, who came to the Great Xia World with me from the Heavenly Realm, know a little about it. Most of the other disciples, like Jade Dragon, who later became Celestial Immortals, are also unaware."

"The news that you were taken away by Xuandu Grand Mage at the Immortal Fate Assembly and became a disciple of the Three Pure Ones will soon spread throughout the Three Realms. At that time, the details of your sect will inevitably be investigated by those with ulterior motives. I will explain it to you in detail this time, so that you won't be caught up in trouble in the Heavenly Realm because of the karma of your sect without knowing why."

"Hmm." Zhou Hao listened attentively.

He also knew that even if one lived in seclusion and ignored all human relationships and worldly affairs, there was still the old saying, "When you're sitting at home, trouble can come from nowhere."

As the Patriarch Mu Yang said, when cause and effect truly come knocking, there is no escaping it; the only right way is to face it and resolve it.

"Let's begin with the origins of our human race in the ancient Pangu World," Patriarch Mu Yang said softly, his eyes filled with reminiscence. "The ancient Pangu World was created by the great god Pangu in the primordial chaos. After the creation of heaven and earth, in addition to the chaotic gods and demons born from chaos, the newly born Pangu World also began to nurture many life forms."

"These were all born of heaven and earth. The strongest among them could reach the realm of gods, while the weakest were at least at the innate level. At that time, it was the most ancient era of gods and demons, before the human race had even been born."

"One by one, the chaotic gods and demons came from chaos to the newly born world. They saw the incredible wonders and the many lives that the new world had given birth to. Those who loved power and were ambitious began to occupy territories and become leaders. Some even ruled over countless innate gods and demons, forming kingdoms and starting to fight, even to the death."

Zhou Hao nodded.

He also learned about these things from some myths and legends circulating in the Three Realms, and knew that Patriarch Mu Yang was talking about was the chaotic battle between gods and demons when heaven and earth were first born.

"Countless conflicts plunged the Pangu World into chaos, with countless Chaos Gods and Demons, and Primordial Gods and Demons dying. Even the once bustling world became desolate," said Patriarch Mu Yang. "Nuwa Empress was born with an understanding of the Heavenly Dao of Life, did not want this world to be desolate. She also comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Yin and Yang and, moved by this, created the human race."

"The newly created human race is the weakest, Tiandu, and their lifespan is pitifully short compared to those gods and demons who possess endless lifespans and are immortal."

"Although gods and demons have long lifespans, they find it extremely difficult to reproduce. Our human race, though short-lived, reproduces very easily, and with the guidance of the Lady Nuwa, who taught us the methods of Qi cultivation, even though we were initially weak and easily slaughtered by gods, demons, and divine beasts, as time went on, our human race's talent for comprehension became apparent. Suiren-shi, Shennong-shi, Fuxi-shi... one human leader after another rose up, leading the ancient human race to fight against heaven, earth, gods, and demons, ultimately becoming the largest race in the entire world, and the strongest overlord!"

Patriarch Mu Yang's face was full of pride.

Thinking back to the rise of humanity in ancient times, Zhou Hao felt equally proud.

"Of course, the ancient times were extremely long, and the rise of our human race also involved countless battles... Many powerful beings died, and even more gods died. Some of the great human tribes that were once at their peak in the ancient times also perished in countless battles. Among them was the ' Dongfang Clan, ' the tribe of my senior brother and me." Patriarch Mu Yang sighed with emotion.

"The name of the Dongfang Clan is now almost impossible to find in the Three Realms, but back in the ancient Pangu World, it was a powerful tribe that was comparable to the ' Divine Fire Clan ' and the ' Lieshan Clan,' which had Dao Ancestors presiding over them."

"But by the time I was born, the Dongfang Clan had already perished, leaving only some weak members. The strongest among them was my senior brother, Dongfang Yu."

"Dongfang Yu?" Zhou Hao suddenly recalled the information in the sect's Xuan Profound Heaven Manual, "Is he the founding ancestor of our Mysterious Heaven Sect?"

"Hmm." Patriarch Mu Yang said solemnly, "At that time, my senior brother had just become Pure Yang True Immortal and served the Xia Clan, the royal family of the ancient human race. After I passed the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Celestial Immortal, a destructive war caused the ancient Pangu World to collapse, evolving into the Three Realms we have today. My senior brother also led us into the newly formed Heavenly Realm."

"My senior brother has lofty ambitions and has always wanted to restore the glory of the ancient Dongfang Clan. However, unfortunately, there are too few talented people left in the clan. So he established the ' Feather Heaven Sect,' which is the predecessor of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, with the intention of cultivating more powerful disciples. At the same time, he himself is constantly venturing and honing his skills in the Heavenly Realm, wanting to raise his strength to the next level."

"At that time, the reconstruction of the Three Realms was no less than the creation of the Heavenly Realm again. Countless innate spiritual treasures were also born in the Heavenly Realm. By chance, my senior brother discovered a set of newly formed innate spiritual treasures, the ' One Origin Nine Heavens Pearls,' in an overseas land," said Patriarch Mu Yang.

"The One Origin Nine Heavens Pearls is formed from ten pearls, each a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. One pearl can transform into an entire great world. Once the ten spiritual treasure pearls are combined, their power is amplified, becoming even more astonishing, no less than any innate supreme treasure."

"But the formation of the One Origin Nine Heavens Pearls at that time caused quite a stir, attracting many celestial beings and immortals. My senior brother only managed to snatch one of them before leaving in a hurry, not daring to linger," Patriarch Mu Yang sighed. "Who would have thought that this one innate spiritual treasure would ultimately lead to his fatal downfall?"

Zhou Hao sighed inwardly.

A single top-grade innate spiritual treasure is enough to cause true immortals and gods to fight to the death, let alone a set of spiritual treasures that can rival innate supreme treasures.

"The remaining nine spirit treasure beads fell into the hands of two other True Immortals and Celestials, one of whom was named ' Indra,' who was the first powerful member of the Asura clan after the formation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation," Patriarch Mu Yang continued.

"Although Indra's cultivation period was not long, the first generation of Asuras was inherently powerful. In addition, a powerful being recognized the talent of the Asura race and founded the Asura Demon Cult, passing down many secret techniques of the sect. Indra's strength can be considered top-tier among true immortals and gods."

"He first killed the other True Immortal and seized all nine Spirit Treasure Pearls, then launched a surprise attack on my Feather Heaven Sect's base, intending to destroy the sect and seize the last one."

"However, my senior brother had already taken precautions and had reached an agreement with the Xia Emperor at the time to seek refuge and avoid disaster. After a great battle with Indra, he led his disciples to the Great Xia World."

"Although Indra is one of the four great demon generals of the Asura Demon Cult, he does not dare to easily provoke the Xia Clan, the royal family of the human race. With the support of the powerful Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor and Dao Ancestor Yinglong, Xia Emperor has given us some breathing room."

"And then what?" Zhou Hao pressed. "Since Indra didn't dare to provoke him, why would Dongfang Yu...?"

If Indra truly couldn't defeat Dongfang Yu, then the founder of the sect wouldn't have perished so early.

"Back in the Heavenly Realm, Indra fought a great battle with my senior brother. My senior brother was also injured at the time, and Indra even managed to steal some of his life essence. Seeing that my senior brother was hiding in the Great Xia World Great Xia World dared not go there himself, he used the Asura Demon Cult's curse technique, the ' Nailhead Seven Arrows Book,' to curse my senior brother to death." Patriarch Mu Yang sighed sadly.

"That curse technique is the most terrifying and vicious forbidden art in the Three Realms. There are many hidden dangers after casting it. It can be said that if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own. Therefore, after Indra cast the spell, he hid in the Asura territory for hundreds of millions of years. Although the Xia Emperor was furious, he could not do anything to him and had to give up."

"Having obtained the spiritual treasure left by my senior brother, I dared not act rashly. So I refined the spiritual treasure, the 'Mysterious Heaven Pearl,' and created the Mysterious Heaven Realm in this small world formed in the eye of the East Sea of the Great Xia World. From then on, I lived in seclusion, focusing on cultivation and training disciples, waiting to avenge this grudge in the future."

The Profound Heaven Realm was actually transformed from that innate spiritual treasure, the ' Profound Heaven Pearl '.

Zhou Hao suddenly realized.

No wonder the Profound Heaven Realm is so rich in spiritual energy and is known as the Little Heavenly Realm. It turns out that it was not formed from fragments of the Heavenly Realm, but from a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that combined with a real small world to finally form it.

"Is the Asura race in the Profound Heaven Realm also related to Indra?" Zhou Hao asked.

"The Profound Heaven Realm is located within the Great Xia World, essentially a cave world. It has the array formations set up by Dao Ancestor Yinglong within the Great Xia World, and the Xia Emperor is also in charge. Indra himself dares not invade, so he tries every means to send Asuras to spy on it," explained Patriarch Mu Yang.

"Over the years, he has used every means at his disposal, even arranging for reincarnated immortals to infiltrate me, but I have thwarted them all. Once my strength increased and I became a Pure Yang True Immortal, and the innate restrictions within the Profound Heaven Pearl were completely refined, I almost achieved an external avatar, which made him even more helpless."

"But now the Three Realms Three Pure Ones are in turmoil, and the Great Xia World is not at peace either. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Hiding won't save you from your fate. Moreover, every major upheaval gives birth to a true peerless hero." Patriarch Mu Yang looked at Zhou Hao. "You were accepted as a disciple by the Three Pure Ones, which means you are a person with great fortune. This karma that has plagued our sect since the beginning of the Three Realms may be resolved in your generation."

If it were anyone else, Patriarch Mu Yang wouldn't dare to speak frankly, but with Zhou Hao, based on his observations over the years, he knew that Zhou Hao was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and even wholeheartedly protected the Iron Ox Tribe, which he had only initially accepted. Naturally, he was unwilling to deceive him with lies.

really.

Without hesitation, Zhou Hao replied, "My journey on the path to immortality began in Jade Dragon City, under the sect's jurisdiction. My progress to this point is inseparable from the sect's nurturing. What does the Ancestor wish me to do? As long as it's within my power, I will do it without hesitation."

"Those karmic debts were incurred years ago, the enmity over my senior brother's death. Before I die, I won't send you disciples to fight to the death. Sending Yu Lin with a group of disciples to the Heavenly Realm to form an alliance with the Heavenly Court was also to leave the sect a way out," Patriarch Mu Yang said with a gratified smile.

"I know that you will belong to the Dao Sect lineage from now on, and the Heavenly Realm is where you will reside. I only hope that you can watch over and help Yu Lin in the Heavenly Realm, and prevent Indra from harming you. As for the rest, leave it to this old man."

"You have just become my disciple, and your strength is still weak. You need to cultivate diligently. When you become a true immortal or celestial being, you will be willing to help me."

"Understood," Zhou Hao replied solemnly.

It was indeed simple for him to look after his fellow disciples in the Heavenly Realm.

"Once we get to the Heavenly Realm, we still need to investigate the detailed information about the Asura Demon Cult and Indra. It's always good to have a clear understanding of things," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

After discussing the origins and secrets of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, Patriarch Mu Yang returned to the back mountain, and Zhou Hao also invited Iron Peak to leave the Profound Heaven Realm together.

He planned to leave the relocation of the Iron Ox Tribe to Tie Iron Peak.

In a secluded space in the South Sea.

The old man, ' Blood Lotus True Immortal,' who was emaciated and resembled a monkey, was looking at the huge mirror in front of him.

The mirror reflects the scene of people relocating in the Xiangcao Valley of Guangling Prefecture.

Blood Lotus True Immortal's gaze fell upon the black-robed youth in the center, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"If you had stayed obediently with the Daoist Sanqing and hadn't come out, no matter how much I hated you, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you for the time being. But your main body has returned from the Heavenly Realm so openly, and your Second Primordial Spirit avatar has also appeared and returned to the tribe... If I didn't seize this rare opportunity, wouldn't I be letting down all your hard work?"

"Holy Lord," the middle-aged man in Red Lotus- gold robe stood respectfully to the side and spoke, "Should we arrange for the Heaven Six Squad to make their move now?"

"No rush." Blood Lotus True Immortal shook his head. "An assassination now would only kill one of Zhou Hao's avatars; his human main body is still with Xia Mang."

"Judging from his plan to relocate his tribe, he must be preparing to send both his main body and his clone to the Heavenly Realm. After that, his two clones will surely reunite. Only then can I strike and annihilate both his main body and clone, thus avenging the killing of my son's main body and quelling the hatred in my heart."

He already knew the information about the Heavenly Brilliance Hall.

Knowing that Zhou Hao's appearance this time showed that his true strength far surpassed that of when he left, even the Celestial Immortals felt a chill.

Even with the dedicated training of the Dao Sect leader, the Daoist Sanqing, in just one year, the Blood Lotus True Immortal did not believe that Zhou Hao's strength was enough to escape the assassination attempt by the Heaven Six Squad.

Within his Blood Cloud Tower, the groups named 'Heaven' are assassination squads composed entirely of Celestial Immortals, designed to deal with someone who isn't even a Celestial Immortal...

Even if he comprehends the Taiji Power, he's still doomed!

"Yes." The middle-aged man replied respectfully, looking at Zhou Hao in the mirror. After relocating the entire Iron Ox Tribe into the Cosmos Pearl, he didn't even spare the valley, packing it up and handing it over to a burly young man and a red-skinned strongman.

After leaving with Zhou Hao, they reappeared at the Changsheng Estate in Anchan City, where they entered and did not leave again.

"It seems his clone and main body will meet at his residence in Anchan City," Blood Lotus True Immortal instructed. "Order the Heaven Six Squad to ambush Anchan City. Also, the assassins who were supposed to disrupt Anchan Prefecture should change their plans and cooperate with the Heaven Six Squad, prioritizing the elimination of Zhou Hao."

"Yes," the middle-aged man replied.

"What else could be more shocking than the peerless prodigy who was just accepted as a disciple by the Daoist Sanqing and died in the blink of an eye in a city of the Great Xia, a prefecture-level city?" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Blood Lotus True Immortal.

First update.
