Returning to Wood Peak, Mo Yang closed the courtyard gate and immediately began to Cultivate in meditation.
Having been abandoned for ten years, he now had only one thought in his mind: to Cultivate and seize every moment.
He must become stronger as soon as possible!
The first layer of the Star Emperor Scripture corresponded to the first four Realms of Cultivation: Qi Condensation Realm, Spirit Communication Realm, Earth Profound Realm, and Heaven Profound Realm. Mo Yang had now reached the Earth Profound Realm.
He planned to re-Cultivate the previous two Realms, which was equivalent to rebuilding his Dao Foundation.
Although Mo Yang had never heard of the name Star Emperor, nor did he know what level of profound Cultivation Technique the Star Emperor Scripture was, since it dared to claim the title of Emperor, it was probably an extremely powerful existence.
Especially recalling the figure he saw in the stone pagoda, that person was like an ancient god or devil, possessing an Aura that dominated heaven and earth.
Last night, when he first circulated the Star Emperor Scripture, he hadn't noticed anything unusual, but now, as he re-Cultivated the previous Realms, his usual circulation route was forcibly changed.
As the Star Emperor Scripture Mind-Cultivation Technique circulated, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was forcibly absorbed, continuously seeping into his body through his skin.
His body seemed to undergo a transformation; his Meridians were forcibly widened, and the previously earthy yellow True Qi gradually turned golden yellow with each circulation of the Mind-Cultivation Technique.
The most bizarre thing was that when Mo Yang finished Cultivating, he discovered a mysterious mark in his Dantian.
However, that mark was very blurry at this time, and Mo Yang looked inward for a long time but still couldn't see it clearly, nor could he feel anything unusual.
"A powerful profound Cultivation Technique is indeed different. Rebuilding the Dao Foundation, my True Qi has actually solidified several times over. With my current Cultivation, re-Cultivating the previous two Realms can be completed in half a month. By then, my combat power will definitely leap to a new level!"
Mo Yang quietly sensed it and couldn't help but sigh softly.
He then entered the stone pagoda and began to try and comprehend the runes on the pagoda walls... After the previous events, Wood Peak completely calmed down. No Disciple dared to cause trouble again, or even step foot on Wood Peak.
Early the next morning, as soon as Mo Yang emerged from the stone pagoda, he sensed an Aura approaching his small courtyard.
He frowned slightly, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a figure furtively peeking into the courtyard from the gate... It was Su Fei'er.
Mo Yang and Su Fei'er didn't have much interaction. Besides yesterday's incident, in the few previous encounters, Mo Yang was always the one being bullied.
As the Sect Master's daughter, she could call forth wind and rain in the Spirit Void Sect, and because of her beautiful figure and uncommon appearance, she had many admirers. Coupled with her own mischievous nature, all of this contributed to her devilish personality.
Mo Yang frowned. Su Fei'er had been used as a hostage by him yesterday, so her visit this time probably didn't bode well.
After a moment of hesitation, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Su Fei'er was startled, then looked at Mo Yang with a Face full of anger.
"What are you doing here?" Mo Yang asked coldly.
"You good-for-nothing Mo Yang, how dare you speak to this Young Miss like that! Do you think that just because you can Cultivate, this Young Miss can't deal with you anymore?"
Seeing Mo Yang's expression, Su Fei'er's anger intensified.
"Yesterday, you actually dared to hold me hostage!"
As she spoke, she swiftly drew a short sword from her sleeve and flashed towards Mo Yang, thrusting it at him.
Mo Yang stood silently, not retreating, until the sword's edge reached him. Only then did he move, his True Qi instantly circulating to his palm, and he directly grabbed the gleaming short sword.
The sharp sword edge was blocked by a faint layer of protective True Qi, not even touching Mo Yang's skin.
Then Mo Yang exerted force with his palm, slowly tightening his grip. The gleaming sword edge actually curled, and then with a soft 'crack' sound, the sword body was directly snapped.
Su Fei'er froze, a look of shock appearing in her eyes, and she instinctively retreated.
However, Mo Yang's body swiftly moved forward like a ghost. By the time Su Fei'er recovered, Mo Yang's right hand was already tightly gripping her neck.
The sharp Aura made her feel as if a sharp sword was resting on her neck, and her entire body instantly stiffened.
Mo Yang did not make a move, staring at Su Fei'er and speaking indifferently, "I am no longer who I used to be. Others may pamper you and spoil you, but I will not. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Su Fei'er stared blankly, Mo Yang's eyes were like two bottomless abysses, and just one look made her heart flutter.
Moreover, the compelling and terrifying Aura emanating from Mo Yang at this moment seemed much stronger than yesterday, which made her incredibly alarmed.
Before she could recover, Mo Yang withdrew his hand.
Then Mo Yang said nothing, simply turned and walked into the house.
With a 'bang', the door closed.
After a moment of stunned, Su Fei'er stomped her foot in anger, glaring at Mo Yang's room and huffing, "Mo Yang, you just wait! I'll go tell the Grand Elder that you assaulted me!"
As she spoke, she did something quite shocking.
She actually swiftly raised her hand and tore several openings in her dress, also messing up her black long hair, then puffed up and rushed out of the small courtyard... Mo Yang didn't bother with it at all. After washing up, he left the small courtyard and walked down Wood Peak, heading towards the Library Pavilion.
In the Spirit Void Sect, Sect Disciples were not allowed to enter the Library Pavilion at will, because all of the Spirit Void Sect's Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals were stored there. It was only open to Sect Disciples at certain specific times or as a reward.
But Mo Yang was different. Yesterday, the Sect Master had personally said that he could enter at will.
Mo Yang naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
He wasn't interested in the Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals inside; he wanted to examine the ancient texts to see if he could find any information about the Star Emperor.
The Elder guarding the Library Pavilion, upon seeing Mo Yang, couldn't help but scrutinize him up and down, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing, only nodded slightly.
After entering the Library Pavilion, Mo Yang walked up floor by floor, directly reaching the fifth floor.
He had heard from the Fourth Elder before that the Sect's strongest Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts, as well as some precious ancient texts and documents, were all stored on the fifth floor, and even the Prodigy Disciples within the Sect rarely had the opportunity to come to the fifth floor.
Just as Mo Yang entered the Library Pavilion, in the main hall of the Spirit Void Sect's main peak, Su Fei'er rushed in, her eyes red with tears.
This startled both the Sect Master and the several Elders in the hall.
Because Su Fei'er at this moment looked unusually disheveled, her long hair was messy, and her long dress was torn in several places, clearly forcibly ripped... There was even a bare foot exposed, with only one shoe remaining.
The several powerful individuals in the hall exchanged glances, their expressions instantly changing.
Their minds immediately linked it to a certain incident.
"Fei'er, what happened?"
The Sect Master shot up from his seat, his Face already turning grim, and asked in a deep voice.
"It's Mo Yang, it, it's him who bullied me... He almost... Wuwu!"
Su Fei'er looked as pitiful as could be in this state, and she cried so sadly that she couldn't even catch her breath.
Upon hearing Mo Yang's name, the Sect Master and the other Elders were immediately stunned, and even the Grand Elder frowned slightly. However, it seemed that the real incident hadn't actually happened, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
The Sect Master's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Fei'er, was it really Mo Yang?"
Su Fei'er cried and sobbed, constantly wiping away tears, nodding repeatedly.
"Bastard!" Several Elders couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Sect Master, it seems this child cannot be kept. To dare to commit such a rebellious act, he should be executed directly!" An Elder, his Face full of rage, spoke sharply.
"In just one day, he actually dared to be so audacious. Does he really think he can act with impunity!"
"No wonder he suddenly changed his mind and stayed yesterday. He's retaliating against the Sect!"
...Listening to the words of the surrounding Elders, the Grand Elder frowned slightly and said to Su Fei'er, "Fei'er, you go down and rest first. Don't worry, Grandpa will get justice for you!"
Su Fei'er wiped her tears, nodding while sobbing, but a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.
After Su Fei'er left the main hall, the Grand Elder spoke, "No matter what, it was just a false alarm. Let's observe the situation first!"
He continued, "Early this morning, if this girl hadn't run to Wood Peak, how would she have encountered Mo Yang? Moreover, Mo Yang came to the Spirit Void Sect as a child. Given his character, he shouldn't have done such a thing!"
The Sect Master and the other Elders frowned upon hearing this. Thinking carefully, they indeed felt that something was strange.
"Fei'er has a mischievous nature and has been spoiled since childhood. Perhaps she went to find trouble with Mo Yang because of being held hostage yesterday, and not getting the better of him, she deliberately made such a scene!"
The Sect Master thought carefully and felt that this was very likely, after all, he knew his own daughter's personality best.
Of course, all of this was because of the Cultivation Mo Yang had displayed.
If it had been in the past, Mo Yang would have had only one outcome: execution.
Subsequently, the Sect Master and several Elders all left the main hall. Learning from several Disciples that Mo Yang had gone to the Library Pavilion, they also went to the Library Pavilion.
However, they did not go inside but observed from outside the Library Pavilion.
"He's truly audacious. He actually went directly to the fifth floor, thinking those Cultivation Techniques are so easy to Cultivate!"
The Grand Elder's Face was somewhat cold, his tone carrying a hint of mockery. Yesterday, Mo Yang hadn't given him any Face, and he had always found Mo Yang displeasing.
"Do you feel that this young fellow is a bit different from yesterday? The faint Aura around him seems to have solidified quite a bit compared to yesterday!" The Grand Elder observed silently, then spoke suspiciously, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.
"He is indeed a bit different. What happened to him in just one day?" The Sect Master also spoke after observing carefully.
The Grand Elder glanced into the Library Pavilion and said, "As for what Fei'er said, don't go looking for him for now!"
"First, observe him in secret for a period of time. Fei'er is also sixteen, isn't she? If we want to keep Mo Yang in the Spirit Void Sect, I actually feel that Fei'er is a good choice..."
He continued to observe and then added, "Putting aside yesterday's incident, if you think about it carefully, Mo Yang's character is actually not bad!"
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder both froze upon hearing this.
They naturally understood the unspoken meaning in the Grand Elder's words, but when they looked at the Sect Master, he was actually subconsciously nodding slightly, which forced them to swallow the words that were on the tip of their tongues.
