Chapter 445 I'm Not Interested in Becoming a SaviorWith the hardness of the Red Blood Demon Armor, it should not be difficult to wrap up the sword fragments while bearing his full force. As soon as he thought of it, Jiang Mo took action. A flash of red light flew out from his pendant, and the broken armor turned into a pool of sticky blood at a speed visible to the naked eye. It fell onto the surface of Wuliangjun and seeped into various holes and cracks like a wriggling group of microorganisms. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the thing of the old ghost in the secret realm? Xuanzun, you actually snatched it all!" Yaowang said in surprise. It immediately noticed the extraordinary nature of the armor. It was not destroyed even in the explosion of the secret realm. This shows that its defensive power is among the best in history. "Yes, strictly speaking, this is the magic weapon of another sect, the Bixuan Temple - the Red Blood Demon Armor, which was obtained when Mu Jue destroyed the sect." "It is a rare and strange magical weapon that I have seen. It has no self-consciousness, but it has the fluctuations of life, similar to the puppets that surrounded and killed me in the secret realm." Jiang Mo's eyes were restrained. He couldn't find a more detailed understanding in the memories of the Supreme Lord, but there were some sayings circulating in the world, which were impossible to tell true from false. It was said that the Red Blood Demon Armor was a treasure brought back from outer space by Taoist Master Bi Xuan. It was innate and did not require any sacrifice or refinement. However, it had extremely strict requirements for the wearer. Those with weaker cultivation would be sucked dry by the demon armor. "Xuan Zun, do you want to melt the two together?" Yue Min, who was full of experience, vaguely guessed his intention. "Yes, let's give it a try."
During the conversation, the deep red and mysterious blood, under the control of Jiang Mo's mind, perfectly merged with the cracks of Wuliangjun, forming a magic sword with flowing magma. Compared with the previous majestic and all-suppressing aura, it has become more brutal and bloodthirsty, and the murderous aura it contains is like an entire boundless ocean. Jiang Mo lowered his right hand and gently grasped Wuliangjun. At the moment of contact, he poured his strength in an orderly manner, from 10% to 60%. There was no sign of collapse. After reaching his psychological expectations, he muttered to himself: "It has barely recovered half of its previous power. If everything can be repaired, its potential should be even higher." "Oh? Then congratulations in advance to Xuanzun!" Several demon kings couldn't help but show their envy. They also had their own magic weapons, but they seldom used them, and the increase in their combat power was not significant. The level was far inferior to this kind of important weapon. "It's early." Jiang Mo smiled faintly, in a good mood, and thought of the door that was locked in heaven. Once his injuries are more stable, he will start to refine it and use Chong Yan's inner demon for his own benefit. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. As the ruler of the Taxu Palace, the old ghost Mu Jue has been parasitic on the entire sect for more than a thousand years. The amount of natural treasures he has accumulated must be unimaginable. At the end of the fight, first his killer move, Eternal Daylight, was used, and then the Light of Destruction, and the magic weapon that stored the resources for cultivation would most likely be turned into ashes. If one could really snatch it, it would be another great harvest. After this lesson, he was wary of the remaining six major sects. If the light of annihilation erupted again, in his current state, without the protection of magic tools, he would surely perish if he had to withstand it with his physical body alone. "Xuan Zun, are your injuries serious? Perhaps we should slow down the liquidation of the four sects." Yue Min was thoughtful, and from the most prudent perspective, he suggested: "At least wait until your magic weapon is repaired?" "Now all the major sects are eyeing us covetously. If we insist on attacking Jiuchongshan and Jilefu at this time, on the one hand, we cannot guarantee how strong their realm masters are. On the other hand, even if we succeed in destroying them, it will only make our situation worse." "Some guys with ulterior motives will definitely attack us when we are at our weakest." After it finished speaking, Yao Wang beside him also said cautiously: "Also, during the parade today, we received even worse news." "Before Mu Jue arrived at the sect, he spread the news that you, Xuanzun, were seriously injured. With the news that Yue Min and Yue Li had the ability to tear the wall of the secret realm apart, the next few days will not be peaceful." There was a subtle change in the expressions of Yue Min and Yue Li. Their racial identities were very sensitive. If they were targeted and hunted by the major sects, even staying alive would be a luxury.
At this stage, Xuanzun is seriously injured and may not be able to protect them. Jiang Mo listened to the reports of the two demon kings and replied without a moment's thought: "We should really slow down our attack on other sects. Given my current state, unless I make further progress, I won't be able to stop the light of annihilation." "As for those with ulterior motives who want to wait for an opportunity to suppress us, why should we be afraid of them?" "Two seniors, although I am injured, I have recovered about 60% to 70%. After all, this is the human world, not the base camp of those realm masters. Without the suppression of the light of annihilation, no one can forcibly abduct you from me." Jiang Mo's words were powerful and his domineering attitude instantly touched several demon kings. The brothers Yue Min and Yue Li were especially moved. They bowed their heads again to express their gratitude, their voices trembling slightly. "Thank you, Xuanzun, for your protection!" "Thank you, Xuanzun, for your protection!" "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most urgent task is to deal with the ownership of the Creation Secret Realm." "I locked it in its original space for a certain period of time. Besides, the Taxu Secret Realm exploded. I'm not sure if the Bliss Secret Realm or the Nine-Layer Secret Realm might also encounter similar situations." "To avoid accidents, we should refine it as soon as possible. It will take several years, and considering Senior Yue Min's injuries, it will only cause more trouble. In my opinion, it is more appropriate for Senior Yue Li to go in." Jiang Mo's boundary nails were basically used up, not to mention that he had to deal with the remaining six major sects. He had no time to stabilize the position of the secret realm for the two brothers. He could only suggest that they refine it first and become the masters of the realm. "Okay, I'll go, brother. You can just stay out there and recover from your injuries. When I return, it will be the time for our clan to revive!" Yue Li agreed without hesitation, and Yue Min understood the urgency of the situation and nodded silently. "Do you have any ritual methods?" Jiang Mo was a little worried. Refining the secret realm was extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be assimilated by the secret realm. So he asked casually. "Yes, please rest assured, Xuanzun!" Yue Li said respectfully that the ancestors of their clan had been the masters of the realm, so naturally they had passed down relevant secret techniques. "Are you ready?" Jiang Mo asked again. "Even if you are in danger of death, you will never regret it." The old man said calmly that he knew this was his only chance in his life. If he didn't seize it, his and his brother's plan of revenge would be hopeless. "Ugh" Yue Min let out a worried sigh. He was blaming himself. It was he who should have taken the risk, but now he was grafted onto his twin brother who had weaker cultivation. He felt guilty and helpless. "By the way, which sect was it that robbed your secret realm back then?" Jiang Mo asked on a whim, a force that has the means to seize the secret realm might be an enemy that he should be prepared for in advance. "Shenlin Sect, a top sect on par with Feixian Sect" Yue Min revealed the identity of his enemy with a melancholy expression. This was definitely a behemoth that he could not shake. Even if Yue Li successfully refines the secret realm of creation, he will only have the ability to protect himself. If he wants to break through the secret realm and flatten the Shenlin Sect, it is unknown how many years it will take.
"The Divine Coming Sect?" "It turns out it's them." A fleeting fear flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes. Almost all the origins of the secular sects could be traced back to a certain time, but the Shenlin Sect was the only one with a blank historical origin. As far as he knew, in the ancient times when dozens of secret realms coexisted in the world, the Shenlin Sect suddenly descended on the earth on a certain day of a certain year and month, along with the secret realm where they lived. At first, this group of practitioners of unknown origin tried to capture other secret realms and plunder resources, but one after another, they found tough opponents and picked out the most capable sects, including the Wanfa Sect, the Feixian Sect, and the Samsara Palace. After several major battles, the Shenlin Sect was severely damaged and has been in hiding ever since. Hundreds of years later, they gradually emerged and entered the world in a low-key manner. The previous major sects realized that they could not be eradicated and were too lazy to continue causing trouble, so they turned a blind eye and allowed them to coexist on this vast land. But objectively speaking, the strength and foundation of the Shenlin Sect should not be underestimated. The founder of Trinity and all the successive masters and supreme masters have maintained the same view on them, believing that this is a sect that came from another world and that had forcibly migrated here using forbidden techniques. Otherwise, there should be no trace of their existence in the entire world. Of course, this view is not unique to the Trinity Sect; other secret realms also hold the same view. Even though it has the worst reputation among the top sects and is almost at the bottom in terms of strength, the Shenlin Sect is still much stronger than mid-level forces such as the Sanyi Sect, the Taxu Palace, the Taiqing Palace, the Penglai Island, and the Lianhun Sect. "Xuan Zun, you know them too?" Yue Min was a little surprised. "I've heard that this sect has a deep foundation and is difficult to deal with. It is stronger than the Taxu Palace. The two seniors, you need to be more cautious in your actions and plan everything carefully." Jiang Mo patiently advised that he supported Yue Min and Yue Li in taking back the ancestral land of their race, but without sufficient strength, any impulse would only lead to death. If they could not hold back, half a lifetime of hard work would be in vain. "Yes! My brother and I know our limits and will not act rashly." Yue Li assured in a deep voice. "It's getting late, and I'm afraid something might happen later. I'll go with you guys." Jiang Mo put away Wuliangjun and Chixue Yaokai, slowly stood up and said: "As long as the boundary nails are pulled out and the secret realm is sealed again, it will return to a state of disorderly drifting. Under the cover of God's will, practitioners from the outside world, even the masters of the realm, will have no way to start searching." "They can only sense the secret realms with fixed locations. Just focus on refining them. We will be waiting for your news in the human world, and will help you out after you succeed." "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Xuanzun!" Yue Li clasped his fist in thanks. "Walk--" Jiang Mo chuckled and waved his hand. The magic was performed as if his words came true. Deep purple qi patterns suddenly appeared in the attic, resembling a circling dragon, gradually forming a lifelike void portal leading to the distant heaven and earth. At the other end of the door was the address of the secret realm of creation, and the red barrier covering the sky and the moon was clearly visible. “This, this…this!!!” The three kings were so excited that they choked on their words. They were so shocked. "I was lucky enough to learn some of the unique skills of the Taxu Palace." Jiang Mo spoke nonchalantly as he stepped across the portal. With just one step, he had crossed thousands of miles, demonstrating his great magical powers and freedom from the constraints of the human world to the fullest. "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
Several figures crossed the portal one after another and came to the vicinity of the Creation Secret Realm. Jiang Mo examined the barrier that had been set up at the beginning, and found no signs of tampering, and immediately led the three kings into the secret realm. The process of removing the boundary spikes did not take much effort, about a quarter of an hour, and the entire world began to tremble violently, completely separated from the real world and closed again. After Jiang Mo finished inspecting the secret realm and made sure everything was safe, he said goodbye to Yue Li, taught him some of his experience in refining the secret realm and things that needed attention, then activated the Boundary Breaking Shuttle and returned to the human world with Yao Wang and Yue Min. "Wow!" The void portal on the 4th floor of the Sutra Repository opened again, and figures walked out one after another. It was Jiang Mo and his three companions who returned. It was at this time that several disciples came to report. "Uncle Master, several leaders of the Nine Departments want to see you. They said they have something important to discuss. They are waiting outside the door. Do you think we should let them in?" "Bring it here." "Well, please wait a moment." After getting permission, Yu Huai stood up and left to receive the guests. After a while, footsteps were heard downstairs, and three old men in simple and neat clothes came to the fourth floor under the protection of the sword bearers who accompanied them. When the two sides met, the atmosphere was tense for a moment. The five sword-wielders were facing a formidable enemy. When they saw the two transformed demon kings sitting next to the man in white, they were immediately horrified. With such close contact, their heart rates were soaring uncontrollably. "Junior Xu Qiuyu, along with two colleagues, Ning He and Yuan Xiao, come to pay respect to Xuan Zun!" The old man with gray hair and a weather-beaten face who was in the lead showed respect when they met and was the first to bow and greet. "Greetings, Senior Xuanzun!" Ning He and Yuan Xiao said in unison. When they were saluting, they had already guessed the identities of the other two old men and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The Demon King was also here. Was the conversation that followed really appropriate? ! "sit." "Yuhuai, serve the tea." "I have some impression of you all. I have met you once or twice. What's the matter?" Jiang Mo smiled slightly, looked at the cushion in front of the coffee table, and motioned for them to sit down. "Since you asked, I won't exchange pleasantries. I came here mainly to ask about your injuries. If you have the energy to spare, I sincerely beg you to help us eliminate the threats of some giant beasts." "In return, we are willing to give you the coordinates of a secret place." Xu Qiuyu went straight to the point. He originally had other ideas, but with the two demon kings present, he was not in a position to mention them. After he said this, Jiang Mo knew why he came. "There's more to it than that, right? You should also be worried about whether the dispute between me and other sects might affect you." "Yes, we do have concerns in this regard. After all, as far as we know, the Wushan Demon King who is allied with you poses a fundamental threat to the security of all major sects. We cannot rule out the possibility that they will work together to suppress you." Yuan Xiao said cautiously that compared with the last time when he was rejected, he was lucky this time as he got in with Ning He and Xu Qiuyu. However, he was still very careful with his words, fearing that he might say something offensive and affect the relationship between the two parties. "I understand the principle that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. But it depends on who wants to be the first to step forward. My injury is not serious, so I can accompany you to the end." There was something hidden in Jiang Mo's words, implying that he would not hand over Yue Min and Yue Li because of pressure from the major sects, and that he would be ready for a major sect war at any time.
"I understand that you must have your reasons for doing this. I am not very knowledgeable and my vision is narrow, so I will not comment on it. But I still hope that when you fight with them, you will try not to involve the cities within the major jurisdictions. This is my greatest hope." Ning He expressed his demands tactfully. "I'll keep an eye out." Jiang Mo did not deny it. He could not predict what would happen in the future. The only thing he could do was to place the battlefield in an uninhabited area or in the major secret realms. "Then what do you think of our proposal? One secret realm in exchange for your chance to attack once. How many giant beasts you kill depends entirely on your condition. It's up to you to decide. Or in exchange for your guidance of our people, refine the secret realm, and become the master of the realm. Is that okay?" "The coordinates of the secret realm are right here." As he spoke, Xu Qiuyu placed an encrypted USB flash drive on Jiang Mo's desk. "The secret realm you are willing to give me and the secret realm I need are not the same thing." Jiang Mo didn't even look at the USB drive, and explained to everyone: "There are two types of secret realms. One is rich in spiritual energy and has a master who controls the realm. The other is exhausted and abandoned on the earth." "If my guess is correct, your mechas and super ancient weapons were all obtained from some kind of abandoned secret realm. The prehistoric civilization in it has already perished. Otherwise, you would not be able to obtain their legacy." "Most of these secret places are abandoned and are of no use to me." Xu Qiuyu's heart sank, realizing that something was wrong, and then asked: "What do you think of the second option?" "Not very good, I advise you to give up this idea." Jiang Mo said bluntly: "Perhaps you have your own information channels and have asked some elders and masters of other sects, but I can tell you clearly that the Lord of the Imperial Realm is not something you can covet." "In the past history, many sect leaders and demon kings who tried to refine the secret realm ended up in a life-or-death situation." "Even a powerful person like Feixian Sect Leader has not succeeded so far. He is lucky. He has a master watching over him, so nothing will happen. But your people can't do that. They are still far from it. They must at least reach the level of a demon king to be qualified to challenge." The truth was cruel, but Jiang Mo was not good at telling white lies, and he didn't want to paint a rosy picture for them, so he just said: "What's more, the above is based on the premise that the secret realm is intact." "If it were a ruined secret realm, there would be no chance of survival. The Realm Controlling Master would not have defective products, and it would not be like what you think. Refining an abandoned secret realm would at least give him some combat power as a Realm Controlling Master." "That's not the case. The path you chose to take is a complete dead end." "Refining the Abandoned Secret Realm is equivalent to tying your own life to it. It already has nothing. As a refiner, you will not only gain no benefit from it, but it will also forcibly drain your vitality." "If the vitality and true energy are sufficient, it is theoretically possible to activate it and complete the refining, but such people are generally the ancestors of major sects. It will be a long time before your people can reach their level." The cold and calm voice was like an invisible dagger, instantly piercing through the hearts of several elderly people and cruelly tearing apart the hopes they had been holding on to. The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Xu Qiuyu's right hand, which was holding the teacup, was trembling slightly. He thought of the truth he was looking for and said with a gloomy expression: "The two secret realms we dug up were both technological civilizations, but in the end, they were destroyed by some ancient giant beasts. Our idea of repairing their weapons and refining their secret realms to counter the threats of the giant beasts that were wreaking havoc everywhere was wrong from the beginning." "." Jiang Mo did not comment, but just drank his tea silently, with no emotion in his eyes. "Senior, the power of the demon kings in various places is growing stronger day by day, and there are also sects and clans that are encroaching on our cultivation resources. If this continues, we won't be able to hold on for much longer. I dare to ask you to help us out."
Even though Ning He knew that the chances were slim and the secret realm had no appeal to Jiang Mo, he still couldn't help but beg. "I'm not a savior. I can't help you every time." Jiang Mo looked at the old man with deep eyes, and told him clearly: "If you seek my protection in every crisis, you will undoubtedly tie the fate of all living beings to me." "I have no interest in becoming a savior." "If I were traveling and happened to encounter a demon king wreaking havoc on a local area, I might kill him without hesitation, but I cannot kill the demon king just because I accept your request for help or your benefits." "People should be self-reliant. People can become their own saviors. You should have the highest expectations for this." "But, can you really bear to see cities fall one after another and people become homeless?" Yuan Xiao tried to appeal to his feelings and reason, but failed miserably. "That's what you should do. I'm not in the position to do that, so I won't interfere." Jiang Mo remained indifferent. "But, Senior..." Ning He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Now the common people regard the Trinity Sect as a demon sect, and the name of the Demon Lord is mighty, but they want Xuanzun's help to kill the Demon King and save those who are prejudiced against them. When he thought of this, the words that were lingering on his lips dissipated. "No buts, let me tell you why." Jiang Mo understood Ning He's thoughts and spoke fluently without any hesitation: "I have no personal grudge against you, or against all living beings. How they view us has nothing to do with us, and I have never needed the faith of this world." "In my most difficult years, when I was still young, I never expected the coming of a savior." "I have stumbled along the way, and I know very well that a person's destiny can only be controlled by himself, rather than relying on others to help him overcome difficulties and force him to grow. That will only end up being a rotten shell." "Spiritual Qi is reviving, and all spirits are competing. This is the general trend and God's will. I can't change it." "People eat animals, animals eat people, it's all normal. Whoever pays more, whoever is more fearless, will become the darling of the times. Even if I protect you behind me this time, what about next time? What about the next time?" "Do I want to be immortal, protect the common people, and become a false god worshipped by them for eternity?" "If you don't carve jade, it won't become a useful tool. I always believe that after a certain amount of tempering, and with a behemoth like the Feixian Sect to protect you from the wind and rain, this land of mountains and rivers will give birth to powerful people who are on par with the hidden sect masters and demon kings." "Finally, I have never met any living being before. What I say is the greatest kindness to them. I do not control their fate, nor do I rely on their offerings, and I have never asked for anything from them." "Everything is arranged by God. You and I cannot modify it at will. Rise or fall, life or death, it all depends on ourselves. Only by taking one step at a time can we know the balance of yin and yang in the world. If I directly eliminate this crisis, it will only help to create a more terrifying crisis. Everything has its own objective laws of development. If I modify it, you will have to bear the price and the consequences will be more serious. It is meaningless." Jiang Mo spoke in a very calm and clear tone, detailing the reasons why he could not take action. Hearing this, Xu Qiuyu, Ning He, and Yuan Xiao all turned pale and frustrated. They seemed to have lost all their spirit and could not even utter a complete rebuttal. They could not persuade Xuan Zun, and they also knew that there was no need for this elder to deceive them. The three of them were completely speechless and remained silent for a long time, their brains as confused as if they had been struck by lightning. (End of this chapter)
