Chapter 287: Mo Yuxuan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Other than the Prophecy Pavilion, which was well-known for its commercial buildings and information-gathering ability, the five large sects possessed the greatest reputation in the Small Central World. The Mirage Sword Sect was the most well-known of the five large sects.

Di Jiu was standing outside the Mirage Sword Sect at the moment. He lamented silently when he saw how splendorous the sect was. It was indeed a pity that such a large sect would be removed forever from the Small Central Planet.

However, there would definitely come a day when the Mirage Sword Sect would exterminate the Galaxy Master Sect if he did not eradicate the former. The Spirit Qi of the Galaxy Master Sect could be considered the densest in the entire Small Central World. However, in terms of heritage, it was significantly weaker than the Mirage Sword Sect.

Di Jiu took out the first array flag with the intention to set up an explosive array to blow up the entire Mirage Sword Sect. The most he could do was allow some Mirage Sword Sect disciples to escape while he was leveling the sect.

He had yet to throw the array flag out when he suddenly sensed some fluctuations in space. Alarmed, he hastily took a few steps back.

His level-eleven Spiritual Force could only sense slight fluctuations, so he was unable to determine who this person was. This person was obviously stronger than the Skygold Protectorate Lord.

“Are you thinking of blowing up the Mirage Sword Sect?” said a calm voice beside Di Jiu. As the person spoke, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force sensed their presence. The person in question was a delicate-looking Dao nun in a blue robe.

Di Jiu was astounded when his Spiritual Force landed on the Dao nun. Her cultivation level was at least at the perfected Domain Realm.

He had not expected that such an expert would exist in the Small Central World.

“I am Mo Yuxuan from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. Greetings, Daoist Di.” The delicate-looking Dao nun did not think that she was powerful. Thus, when she arrived before Di Jiu, she bowed.

Di Jiu hastily cupped his fists and said, “I am Di Jiu from the Galaxy Sect. Greetings, Daoist Mo. You are the most powerful person I have ever met.”

Mo Yuxuan smiled. She was a Dao nun, yet a smile of hers lit up the entire area. Although Di Jiu knew that this woman had come to prevent him from exterminating the Mirage Sword Sect, her smile made him feel somewhat joyful.

“You’ve been blessed by the heavens. Your potential has not existed in 100,000 years.” Mo Yuxuan’s eyes landed openly on Di Jiu. She looked at him with a grace that did not make him feel scrutinized.

Di Jiu believed that this was the very first time someone could tell that his potential was heaven-defying.

After she praised Di Jiu, Mo Yuxuan’s tone changed. Her gaze shifted and landed on the Mirage Sword Sect’s garrison in the distance. “Are you intending to exterminate the Mirage Sword Sect?”

“That’s right,” Di Jiu said simply. She had to know his reasons, since she knew that he wanted to exterminate the Mirage Sword Sect.

Mo Yuxuan sighed and said, “Daoist Di, it was Ran Bushang from the Mirage Sword Sect who killed your friend. You killed him on the Small Central Planet Square. Sect Master Xiao Wu and platform Elders Gai Shu and Yan Xuanxiang have also been turned to ashes. The rest of the Mirage Sword Sect cultivators hold no grudge against you. Furthermore, the Mirage Sword Sect in the Small Central World is not just a sect. Its existence has a deep meaning. Could you let the Mirage Sword Sect off this time?”

“If I was alone, I’d have no problem letting the Mirage Sword Sect off. If I let the Mirage Sword Sect off today, could you ensure that the Mirage Sword Sect will not exterminate the Galaxy Sect once I leave the Small Central Planet?” Di Jiu asked calmly.

Mo Yuxuan placed her palms together. “Daoist Di, I still have 100 years left to live in the Small Central World. During these 100 years, I will ensure that no harm will come to the Galaxy Sect.”

“What happens after these 100 years have passed?” Di Jiu stared at Mo Yuxuan, thinking that this Dao nun was more beautiful than any other female cultivator he had encountered before. She gave off an indescribable natural beauty and grace.

Mo Yuxuan said, “It is meaningless to preserve the heritage of a sect that would survive only if stronger sects were exterminated.”

Di Jiu opened his mouth. Mo Yuxuan was right, for the mentioned sect would be exterminated by someone else sooner or later under the circumstances.

Without waiting for Di Jiu to speak up, Mo Yuxuan said, “Daoist Di, it would indeed be satisfying to eradicate the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect. However, such an act would only bring calamity to the Galaxy Master Sect. The True Form Realm cultivators, including Peng Yun and Yan Xuanxiang, only had themselves to blame for being killed by you. However, the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect comprise of more than those few True Form Realm cultivators. If you actively exterminated the two sects, you would incur the public wrath of the Small Central World. Then, the Galaxy Master Sect would be attacked by True Dominion experts.”

Di Jiu fell silent. No matter how strong he was, he was not capable of opposing a Cultivation World. Besides, he might be facing more than one Cultivation World.

“Daoist Di, I will actively look for the successors of the two sects and show them how to tell right from wrong. Given your potential, your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary. The feud between you and these two sects has ceased to exist. Any more unnecessary killing would not be beneficial to your Dao.” Mo Yuxuan spoke with even more sincerity when she felt Di Jiu’s attitude ease up.

Di Jiu fell silent again for a long time before saying, “Alright, I believe your words.”

Di Jiu agreed with the two points Mo Yuxuan had made. Firstly, it was indeed meaningless for a sect to exist if it could survive only when its Sect Master exterminated another sect. Secondly, there would certainly be some disciples who would still refuse to leave, even if he let the disciples of both sects leave the venue before using Dharma Arrays to blow them up. Those who refused to leave would definitely be killed by him.

“Daoist Di is wise and magnanimous. I would like to express my gratitude.” Mo Yuxuan bowed once again.

Di Jiu felt extremely guilty. He could sense that Mo Yuxuan was definitely no weaker than him. If she forcefully stopped him from taking any action, he would not be able to do anything. Even though she was an expert with a perfected Domain Realm cultivation, Mo Yuxuan was not arrogant. Interacting with her felt as comfortable as drinking a cup of refreshing tea.

“Senior Sister Mo, I’ve stayed in the Small Central World for some time. Why have I never heard of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect?” Di Jiu suddenly felt relaxed after giving up on the notion of exterminating the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect. He knew that she had stopped him in part with the intention of helping him as well. He liked Mo Yuxuan, which was why he had addressed her as Senior Sister Mo instead.

Mo Yuxuan said calmly, “The Virtuous Nirvana Sect is the keeper sect of the Small Central World, so it exists in the shadows. I’m the last disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.”

“Why don’t you accept new disciples?” asked Di Jiu subconsciously.

“I don’t want my disciples to be like me. Everyone has the right to pursue their own life instead of guard something so meaningless with their life,” said Mo Yuxuan with some emotion. She evidently was feeling emotional when she said this.

“Why is it meaningless to guard the Small Central World?” Di Jiu asked.

“I think that the existence of this Star Continent is meaningless if it exists only because it has a keeper sect. I will be leaving now, Junior Brother Di. We might meet again in the future.” Mo Yuxuan took a step forward and disappeared after answering Di Jiu’s last question.

Di Jiu looked in the direction Mo Yuxuan had disappeared, suddenly feeling a little lost.

Mo Yuxuan’s way of thinking was very independent. She did not wish to pass down the Virtuous Nirvana Sect’s heritage of guarding the Small Central World, as she did not see a point in doing so. This was similar to the way she had convinced Di Jiu. She had told him that it would be meaningless for the Galaxy Master Sect to exist if it relied on the extermination of the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect for its survival.

Mo Yuxuan was undoubtedly someone who kept her promises. Her Master had passed down to her the mission of guarding the Small Central World. Even though she knew it was wrong to do so, she had still come forward and stopped Di Jiu from destroying the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect.

...

All the True Form Realm experts of the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect headed over to the Mirage Sword Sect with the intention of extracting the latter’s spirit meridians. When it became known that those experts had been killed by Di Jiu, who had activated the sect’s Defense Array, the entire Small Central World started anticipating that the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect would be leveled.

In their opinion, this would be a natural turn of events. After all, these two large sects would no longer be able to continue existing when all the True Form Realm cultivators of the two large nine-star sects were killed. Upon hearing this news, the two Palatial Lords of the Ax Overlord Palace silently congratulated themselves for having made the correct decision.

Everyone was therefore surprised when the Sect Master and the two True Form Realm Elders of the Galaxy Master Sect chose to not eradicate the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect. Instead, the Galaxy Master Sect decided to hold an opening ceremony.

Almost all the sects of the Small Central World attended this opening ceremony. The attendants were the Sect Masters of the respective sects. Even representatives from the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect came to express their congratulations. After all, the Galaxy Master Sect would most likely become the number one sect of the Small Central World in the future.

As the Sect Master, Di Jiu led the progression and welcomed the various Sect Masters at the sect’s entrance. The Sect Masters were led by disciples into the hall, where Huan Mingzi and Xian Ze would personally keep them company.

These Sect Masters quickly sensed that Di Jiu was different from the other Sect Masters. Di Jiu would warmly welcome any and every Sect Master who came, regardless of whether they came from a one-star sect or a nine-star sect.

Half a day later, almost all the reputable sects of the Small Central World had come. Di Jiu was a little puzzled that no one from the Purple Thunder Sect and the Moonlight Snow Mountain had come, for they were two of the Small Central World’s five large sects. These two sects technically did not have any disputes with Di Jiu.

“Sect Master Di, this is something a Senior asked me to bring over.” After all the Sect Masters had entered the Galaxy Master Sect, a Golden Core Realm cultivator walked up to Di Jiu and gave him a jade slip.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the jade slip. The jade slip recorded a relatively vague location and a sentence. “I’ve already found the Plane Split Talisman. I’m currently trapped. Sect Master Di, please help me. Cheng Ji.”

Based on the aura on the jade slip, Di Jiu could tell that this jade slip had indeed been written by the Enduring Immortal Sect Master Cheng Ji. The two of them had agreed that Cheng Ji would give him a Plane Split Talisman if Di Jiu did not cause him any trouble in the future.

Di Jiu had yet to receive the Plane Split Talisman, yet he had received Cheng Ji’s plea for help. He decided to head out to find Cheng Ji first, even though the opening ceremony was still taking place in the Galaxy Master Sect. This concerned Jing Moshuang’s safety and life after all.
