Chapter 767 - 765: Didn’t Listen to a Single Word
A single word can describe this phenomenon: involution.
Everyone else engages in Cannibal Cultivation, and if you don’t, you’re destined to lag behind others and be completely eliminated.
You could say it is the trend of the times.
"Lord Mo Lin, I know you may disdain this method of cultivation.
But this is the trend of the times," said Fu Qian slowly to Mo Lin.
Indeed, it was as she said.
Nowadays, everyone is doing this; if Mo Lin doesn’t follow suit, in the future he’s bound to have no path to cultivative advancement.
He will be eliminated.
Although Mo Lin is very powerful now, there will come a day when he is replaced by the times.
"You resent this too; I don’t resent it.
This kind of dirty and exhausting work can be left to me. I can help you with Immortal Pills," Fu Qian said to Mo Lin again.
Mo Lin opened his mouth, then hesitated to speak.
Persuade Fu Qian not to do this?
But what qualification does Mo Lin have to advise Fu Qian?
Mo Lin’s true self still feels that one should have proper respect for human life.
"You use others for alchemy, so one day, won’t others use you for alchemy?" Mo Lin countered Fu Qian.
Fu Qian froze for a moment.
Following the logic of Cannibal Cultivation.
Mo Lin’s words made perfect sense.
"Give her a chance to live," Mo Lin said slowly to Fu Qian, pointing at the little girl.
Fu Qian nodded.
Mo Lin said slowly to the little girl, "You go to Beihai. You can survive there."
As the words fell, Mo Lin summoned a ghost to guard the little girl to Beihai.
In the distance, a woman appeared.
This woman’s appearance was ordinary, wearing a black coat, without any highlights, nor anything to criticize.
"Senior," the woman greeted Mo Lin respectfully.
"Who are you?" Mo Lin asked the woman warily.
"I am from the Star Constellation Snake Immortal of the Three Immortals.
We invite senior to Jiangzhou," the woman said slowly to Mo Lin.
Jiangzhou...
This place used to be Mo Lin’s hometown.
It was also the starting point for Jiangzhou People.
And it is a place where ghosts exist.
"Why are the Three Immortals looking for me?" Mo Lin asked the woman.
"You will understand once you come."
The woman didn’t clarify.
"Let’s go." Mo Lin feared nothing.
With his current strength, even facing the Three Immortals, he was Fearless.
As for eliminating West Mountain Evil Buddha, Mo Lin planned to wait until he could use the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill before going.
During the battle at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain, Mo Lin was exhausted and severely injured.
His Ghost Spirit Body lost its power, and the Nvwa could not be summoned.
Mo Lin needed to restore his power.
Mo Lin now held a strand of Divinity from the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao, and feared nothing facing the Three Immortals.
.....
Jiangzhou.
The current Jiangzhou has no trace of human presence.
There has been no one here for over a decade.
The ground is full of weeds.
And now, the place where the Three Immortals reside is here.
Jiang Saint Hall.
This is a palace built by the Jiangzhou People after the ghost invasion.
Mo Lin followed the woman into Jiang Saint Hall.
The entire Jiang Saint Hall was filled with colorful Immortal Qi.
Immortal Qi enveloped the surroundings of Jiang Saint Hall.
Above Jiang Saint Hall.
Sitting there were three young men.
These three young men had snow-white skin, better than the skin of women.
Not sure who they were.
At this time, the Three Immortals were seated below.
This position obviously had a deeper meaning.
Mo Lin followed the little girl into the palace.
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal saw Mo Lin arrive, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up.
Pointing at Mo Lin, he introduced him to the three men in front.
"This is Mo Lin."
The three men glanced up at Mo Lin simultaneously, without any major emotional fluctuations.
"I am Feng Qu. Are you willing to join us?" The young man asked Mo Lin.
"Huh?"
Mo Lin was baffled.
What is going on?
Why is this person’s tone and attitude so arrogant?
Mo Lin didn’t even know who this young man was, or where he came from.
And he just wants Mo Lin to join them.
This is just too absurd.
"The East District is about to be sealed off, and soon this place will become a forbidden area.
Everyone coming from the East District will be branded as slaves.
If you are willing to join the Feng Clan, I am willing to take you away from the East District, and give you the same treatment as us," Feng Qu said slowly to Mo Lin.
This was explosive news for Mo Lin.
Actually, it wasn’t completely unexpected.
For example, the East District was inexplicably sealed off before,
allowing entrance but not exit.
"The people above have given orders to completely eliminate the evil presence in the East District,
including its people."
Feng Qu spoke slowly to Mo Lin, "For someone as talented as you to die would be a terrible waste.
Our Feng Clan cherishes talent and doesn’t want to let someone as talented as you perish."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal stood out, speaking slowly to Feng Qu, "Lord, Mo Lin just arrived and doesn’t understand the situation.
Maybe, let me explain it to him?
Give him a little time?"
"Okay." Feng Qu nodded in agreement.
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal stepped forward, escorting Mo Lin out of the palace.
"Mo Lin, you absolutely must not refuse.
Even we the Three Immortals have joined the Feng Clan."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal spoke slowly to Mo Lin, "The situation in the East District is much more complex than you can imagine.
The people outside worry about the spread of ghosts here affecting other areas.
They also worry about the Black Tide expanding uncontrollably.
They are about to designate the East District as a forbidden area.
As for now... it’s just those people waiting... waiting for the opportunity for immortality to appear.
If there’s no opportunity for immortality here, those people will take action."
"Those people? Who? People from the South District?"
"No... They are even scarier than the people from the South District."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal spoke slowly to Mo Lin, "Do you know why Huang Shang went to the Black Tide?"
"Why?"
"She knew long ago that the East District would be listed as a forbidden area.
She went to the Black Tide, seeking opportunities to leave the East District."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal asked Mo Lin again, "Do you know why Xin Ziruo does not leave the East District?"
"She can’t leave, someone doesn’t want her to leave."
"Are you not curious why the Evil Buddha and Evil Spirits here never leave the East District?
Even those who do are very weak ghosts, or very weak evil spirits."
"Why?"
"Control...
They aren’t unwilling to leave; they can’t leave."
"Do you really think Xin Ziruo, after laying her plans in the East District for so long and reaping so many benefits, is just to deal with you?" The Star Constellation Snake Immortal asked Mo Lin again.
Thinking carefully, it’s true.
Although Xin Ziruo sometimes wanted to kill Mo Lin, she herself never appeared.
And it felt to Mo Lin like killing him was always a secondary task for Xin Ziruo.
"She devoted all her benefits to curry favor with a prominent figure outside."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal ridiculed to Mo Lin, "Only you are clueless, with your head filled only with thoughts of revenge.
The recent Cannibal Cultivation trend was also brought in by people from outside."
"Did you understand?" The Star Constellation Snake Immortal asked Mo Lin.
Mo Lin nodded, "Yes, I understand."
"What will you do next?"
"I can’t waste more time; I must go to West Mountain to kill the Evil Buddha.
I can’t let the Evil Buddha escape," Mo Lin answered seriously.
Upon hearing this, the Star Constellation Snake Immortal sighed helplessly.
It seems Mo Lin didn’t take in any of it.
