Chapter 1063: Ancient Sage Sect
"Who is Elder Yu Mo?"
The one who spoke was Shi Guangxu, evidently curious about Elder Yu Mo.
"Elder Yu Mo is a legendary figure in our Tianhen Star Domain, who has been silent for a millennium. Originally, we thought he had ascended or passed away, yet unexpectedly he's still alive," said the Third Elder.
"Silent for a millennium? How long has this old man lived?" Shi Guangxu asked in astonishment.
"Not precisely known, but his age is at least over eight thousand years. It's said that he had stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm a thousand years ago," Liu Bai Ru added.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was also somewhat astonished.
An old monster who's lived for eight thousand years?
What is such a person doing appearing now?
Everyone around was surprised by the appearance of Elder Yu Mo; clearly, it's not a good thing for them.
In the past, Elder Yu Mo was known for his merciless and brutal killings.
Now appearing again, taking Guihai Tiangong as a disciple, he surely has an ulterior motive.
"Ladies and gentlemen, surely many of the younger generation present do not know my name, but I believe some of you still do. Today, I'm pleased to take Guihai Tiangong as my beloved disciple and intend to hold a formal disciple ceremony; therefore, I've specially invited you all as witnesses. I will impart all of my lifetime knowledge to him, especially my Yu Mo Saber Technique," Elder Yu Mo's voice was raspy and deep, yet everyone present heard it clearly.
"Such thick Immortal Essence, at least at the peak of the Late Stage Earth Immortal, almost close to the true peak of the Earth Immortal," Xu Nian was amazed inwardly.
Many others showed expressions of surprise, seeming like the old man was recruiting disciples yet actually making a show of strength.
"Disciple greets Master!"
Guihai Tiangong walked before the old man, knelt down with a thud, and performed the disciple ceremony.
"Good disciple, stand up quickly!" Elder Yu Mo said.
Xu Nian noticed Elder Yu Mo's eyes were genuinely blind.
This greatly surprised Xu Nian, as generally, strong individuals like Elder Yu Mo who reached the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm could regenerate lost limbs.
Why couldn't Elder Yu Mo cure his eyes?
Unless his eyes were injured by something akin to the Heavenly Dao Laws.
With Guihai Tiangong's disciple ceremony, applause resounded around the venue.
Guihai Tiangong was also full of excitement, his eyes bright.
He knew today's disciple ceremony was just a cover, and the real purpose of this banquet was yet to come.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone has heard of such a legend, supposedly a super sect appeared in the Tianhen Star Domain with numerous sage-level masters. However, this sect vanished overnight. I have been searching for it for the past millennium," Elder Yu Mo said.
"Uh? An ancient super sect? Are you talking about the Sage Sect?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Liu Bai Ru and the Third Elder showed expressions of shock.
Elder Yu Mo actually found the ancient vanished sect, the Sage Sect?
"What is the Sage Sect?" Shi Guangxu asked again, looking bewildered.
"The Ancient Sage Sect was the most powerful and oldest sect in our Tianhen Star Domain. Allegedly, this sect had a super Cultivation Technique called the Sage Technique. Once cultivated, its achievements would certainly be above the Immortal Emperor, as long as one remains undying," the Third Elder explained.
"Above the Immortal Emperor? Wouldn't that be Divine Realm?" Shi Guangxu's face showed a shocked expression.
Xu Nian was also surprised; even the Four Great Sects only had Immortal Level Techniques, yet the ancient Sage Sect had Divine-level Techniques.
Beyond the Immortal Emperor is naturally the Divine Realm, and any technique reaching beyond the Immortal Emperor is naturally a Divine-level Technique.
Presently, cultivation in the realm aside from the Four Great Sects and a few who stumble upon extraordinary encounters.
Generally, cultivation is of ordinary Spiritual Formulas, and upon reaching Heavenly Immortal levels, one must find new techniques.
The Four Great Sects due to long-lasting heritage, aided by Immortal Realm sects, have techniques far superior to ordinary Spiritual Formulas, falling into Immortal Techniques category. Some can even be cultivated to the Golden Immortal level, yet few reach the Immortal King Realm.
Let alone techniques at the Immortal Sovereign or Immortal Emperor Realm.
Rankings in the Immortal Realm: Heavenly Immortal, Profound Immortal, Luoxian, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Emperor.
The preciousness of Divine-level Techniques can be imagined.
Though it doesn't entice Xu Nian greatly; he's truly attracted only by the second and third parts of "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus."
"That's not the key to the Sage Sect. Its true strength lies in a Treasure called the Dragon-breaking Stone, said to allow its possessor to rapidly refine the soul without danger, quicker by tens or even hundreds of times," Liu Bai Ru stated.
Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm and Peak of Earth Immortal Realm are all tied to soul refining.
This process is extremely dangerous, and generally, only one in ten Late Stage Earth Immortals succeeds and achieves Great Success in Immortal Soul.
If there really exists a treasure guaranteeing safe soul refinement and boosts speed by dozens of times, it would surely lead to a scramble.
The purpose of this trip by Elder Yu Mo is evidently aimed at the Dragon-breaking Stone.
Xu Nian immediately guessed that Elder Yu Mo encountered resistance at the Sage Sect, or else he wouldn't share such an opportunity.
"Senior Yu Mo, you should talk about the dangers of the Sage Sect," said the Tianbao Pavilion Master.
Following this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Clearly, they are not fools; Elder Yu Mo seeks their help in finding the Dragon-breaking Stone.
It surely involves significant danger, beyond what Elder Yu Mo himself could manage.
"Since all of you wish to know about the Sage Sect, I won't hide it. Regarding the level of danger, I'll just need to tell you the location of the sect's gates, and you'll naturally understand its danger," Elder Yu Mo spoke.
Everyone looked at Elder Yu Mo, curious about the location of the ancient Sage Sect's gates.
Elder Yu Mo cleared his throat and said, "The Sage Sect's gates are deep within Hell Sea!"
"Hell Sea!"
Everyone gasped audibly.
Shi Guangxu also looked dazed.
Xu Nian was somewhat confused. What is Hell Sea?
"Hell Sea is the most dangerous zone in our Tianhen Star Domain because terrifying primordial creatures dwell there. These creatures are powerful and fierce, and the most vital point is that they are numerous; even the Peak of Earth Immortal doesn't dare trespass lightly, and anyone below is sure to perish," Liu Bai Ru explained to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was also surprised, not expecting such a place existed in Tianhen Star Domain.
