Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 257: Chapter 10: Assassination, Strike (Subscription Requested)_2

If it hadn’t been for the sect rules, they would probably have started celebrating outside already.

“Why does the Sect Master want to reassign the entire Jun Dongjin family?”

Mu Mengting was also in a good mood, yet he began to ponder.

He didn’t know that Sect Master Mu Qingliu had already planned to choose him as the future Sect Master, and reassigning Jun Dongjin was also for his sake.

And it was for the layout of taking over Jun Dongjin in the future.

“I heard that recently, a major event occurred in the Barbarian Wilderness.”

...
The second subordinate spoke up, “The big prince of the Demon Saint’s Nest died, apparently at the hands of an Ancient Saint.”

“I have heard about that too.”

Mu Mengting nodded.

However, exactly how it happened and which Ancient Saint had acted, no one knew.

The Sect Master must know, but since he didn’t say it himself, no one dared to ask.

“Mengting Brother, whether it has anything to do with this incident or not.”

“None of this is important.”

“Now, there is an unprecedented opportunity.”

“Though Jun Dongjin has been reassigned from the Immortal Sect, it doesn’t mean he won’t come back.”

The third subordinate lowered his voice.

“What do you mean?”

Mu Mengting’s expression changed slightly.

“Hehe.”

“In the past, Jun Dongjin always had a large number of subordinates with him.”

“But this time, the reassignment order from the Sect Master specifically instructed only Jun Dongjin’s family of four to go to Vast Cliff Mountain.”

“If Jun Dongjin’s family dies on the journey, it shouldn’t be hard, right?”

This subordinate’s tone was cold.

“The Taihao Immortal Realm envelops the entire Central Divine Continent, any action by us would be exposed,”

Mu Mengting shook his head as he said.

“The Taihao Immortal Mirror monitors foreign energies. If cultivators from the Blood Demon Sea, Demon Saint’s Nest, or Ghost Palace of Netherworld dare to enter the Central Divine Continent, the Immortal Mirror would certainly detect them.”

“But if it’s an energy exerted by a former Sect Master, even if the Immortal Mirror detects it, there won’t be any reaction.”

The subordinate continued speaking.

“Are you suggesting I use the Symbol Talisman of the Ethereal Refinement Stage left by the predecessors of our Immortal Sect?”

Mu Mengting said.

A talisman is created by using special methods to retain the power of one’s strike within the corresponding paper.

If someone later activates the talisman, it’s equivalent to unleashing the power stored inside it.

Daode Immortal Sect has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, with each Sect Master of the Refining Void Period leaving behind some talismans, each preserving their full-strike power.

All previous Refining Void Period Sect Masters had once been masters of the Taihao Immortal Mirror.

Their exerted energies were not within the Tao Hao Immortal Mirror’s alarm range.

“No.”

“It may not be detected at the time.”

“But if the Sect Master investigates afterward, exposure is inevitable.”

Mu Mengting still shook his head.

If Jun Dongjin were to die.

The Sect Master would surely investigate.

With the ‘retrospective’ ability of the Taihao Immortal Mirror.

His methods couldn’t possibly remain hidden.

“Yes.”

“The Sect Master would certainly know.”

“But by then, Jun Dongjin would already be dead.”

“In the Daode Immortal Sect, only you, Brother Mengting, are capable of succeeding the position of Sect Master.”

The subordinate continued speaking.

“There are many disciples in the Daode Immortal Sect, and not lacking in geniuses, besides me, there are plenty of disciples who could be chosen for the Sect Master position.”

Mu Mengting remained somewhat hesitant.

“Mengting Brother, you underestimate your standing within the sect too much.”

“Unless the Immortal Sect can once again produce someone with a Mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root like Jun Dongjin.”

“Otherwise, within a thousand years, you are the most suitable candidate for Sect Master, and there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”

“Our Daode Immortal Sect’s Sect Masters have a tenure of at most fifteen thousand years, and now Sect Master Mu is already nearing twelve thousand years.”

“Mengting Brother, you are also a member of the Mu Family, a direct descendant of the Sect Master, besides Jun Dongjin, whom else would he cultivate if not you?”

“But if Jun Dongjin lives and comes back, it would be uncertain whose hands the future Sect Master position would fall into.”

Hearing his confidant subordinate’s suggestion.

Mu Mengting’s expression fluctuated unpredictably.

“Alright.”

After a long time, Mu Mengting suddenly stood up, his eyes cold as he spoke.

…

Outside Cloud Mist Blessed Land.

Jun Dongjin, Mu Lian’er, and their children Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan were saying goodbye to Lin Yuan.

“Little brother, just stay well in Cloud Mist Blessed Land.”

Jun Zhilan said reluctantly.

The sect’s order only required Jun Dongjin’s family of four to go to Vast Cliff Mountain.

As for Wuji, their perennially reclusive youngest son, he was not included.

Perhaps in Mu Qingliu’s eyes, Wuji didn’t warrant attention; what significance does a Golden Core Stage body cultivator have for the Daode Immortal Sect?

Moreover, since Wuji had joined the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, he had never taken the initiative to enter Mount Morality Immortal, making him an absolutely “harmless” entity.

“Be careful on your way.”

Lin Yuan looked towards Jun Dongjin and Mu Lian’er and said.

“What’s there to be careful about?”

“That Vast Cliff Mountain is also under the protection of the Taihao Immortal Mirror’s power within the Central Divine Continent. Those wastrels from the Ghost Palace, Demon Saint’s Nest, and Blood Demon Sea, could they possibly dare to attack me?”

Jun Dongjin said with a smile.

Clearly, he was very confident in his sect’s Founding Artefact.

“Regardless.”

“It’s always safe to be cautious.”

Lin Yuan said.

External enemies are not to be feared.

The real threat comes from enemies within.

For example, there’s Mu Mengting.

Through years of understanding,

Lin Yuan knew that Mu Mengting was the type to hold grudges.

It’s not that such a personality is bad in a cultivator,

but one must always be on guard.

“Understood.”

“Then we’ll take our leave first.”

Jun Dongjin waved his hand, and then left with Mu Lian’er, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhilan.

Lin Yuan watched as Jun Dongjin and the others disappeared.

He then turned and returned to the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.

In the cultivation chamber,

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

“Go, follow them,”

Lin Yuan thought briefly.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit emerged from his body,

and quickly disappeared from the spot.

…

Vast Cliff Ancient Path.

This is the essential path that leads to Vast Cliff Mountain.

In the dense forest beside the ancient path,

several figures were all stationed there.

These figures, with concealed auras, were all Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords.

“They’ve arrived.”

“That Jun Dongjin’s family is almost here.”

The figures carefully observed, sensing the aura thousands of miles away.

Soon, a jade chariot arrived swiftly, clearly a top-notch flying ship talisman.

“Later, we won’t need to act personally, just jointly activate this talisman,” said the leading figure, struggling to pull out a pale golden talisman from his storage bag.

This pale golden talisman, even without being activated, emitted an immensely terrifying power.

“The Symbol Talisman of the Refine Void Stage…”

The surrounding figures looked at the talisman with intense interest.

This was a foundation of the Daode Immortal Sect; if it weren’t for Mu Mengting bringing monks from the Mu Family, let alone taking out a Refine Void Stage talisman, they wouldn’t even get to touch it.

“As soon as that jade chariot…”

The leading Divinity Transformation Monarch began to make arrangements.

The Symbol Talisman of the Refine Void Stage, just to activate it, required all these Divinity Transformation Monarchs to join forces.

Suddenly,

at that moment,

under the watchful eyes of several Divinity Transformation Monarchs.

The pale golden Symbol Talisman of the Refine Void Stage, as if stimulated,

suddenly activated itself.

Whoom!!!

The Symbol Talisman of the Refine Void Stage exploded.

It formed an illusory defensive barrier.

But the next moment,

the defensive barrier shattered.

From the talisman’s self-activation

to the explosion of the formed barrier,

everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Even for Divinity Transformation Monarchs,

they were somewhat dumbfounded at that moment.

What just happened?

“This?”

The leading Divinity Transformation stage cultivator, as if he realized something, his face showed a look of terror.

The Symbol Talisman of the Refine Void Stage.

Generally, there are two ways to use it.

One is active activation, which is offensive.

The other is passive defense,

which activates itself when facing an irresistible threat,

forming a defensive barrier.

This method, even when facing an attack from an Ancient Saint of the same level,

could withstand for a moment.

However, just now,

the defensive barrier formed by the Symbol Talisman of the Refine Void Stage lasted only a moment?

The leading Divinity Transformation Monarch trembled.

He instinctively looked towards the sky.

Between heaven and earth, an ancient and vast breath had emerged at some unknown time, overshadowing the sun and the sky.

This Divinity Transformation Monarch could vaguely see that above the vault of heaven, under that bright moon, a figure emitting Yin Energy almost merging with the moon appeared.

This figure, though under the bright moon, seemed to encompass the entire moon.

He had his left hand behind his back and his right hand stretched downward, as if to crush a few ants, but seemed to be momentarily halted by some obstruction.
