The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 451: Getting an Entrance Sign
—Star Xiang, Western Region—
If previously he had acted simply as an ordinary human with no strength, here, he unleashed his power until an Intermediate-stage Earth God to gain a direct foothold. As for why not reveal his entire strength, he had his own reasons.
The reason why Mo Lian was not humble into an ordinary human being, it was because here was a secret place that would open once every 100 years, and it just so happened to only have to count days again before it opened.
If he did not reveal strength, he did not have the qualifications to enter. Only Black Gods and above are allowed, and there are powers governing anyone who is allowed to enter. Therefore, Mo Lian displayed strength, with the intention that someone would bring her along.
Why did he not force his way in as usual, it was because this secret place had its own arrangements, and only sign holders could enter easily without any constraints. Even though Mo Lian had confidence in herself, she wasn't stupid to try it.
However despite already revealing the power with the intention to obtain the mark of the power organization in Star Jiang, but until now there was still no one who came to him to cooperate.
Either because the slot was up or indeed no one wanted to cooperate with him who was a stranger, which had only come for one day and one night in Star Xiang.
But he believed in the second.
...
Mo Lian sat relaxing on a rocking chair under a shady tree, in the front yard of a newly purchased house. He waited for the main force in the approaching Jiang Star. "Doesn't anyone want to work with me? I'm strong, handsome, charming, full of authority."
"Nan Ren." Hong Xi Ning came by the side, putting down a cup filled with tea. "Ning'er knows Nan Ren is handsome, charming and so on, but don't be too confident like that. Honestly, that's disgusting."
Mo Lian was stunned while tightly gripping her chest, feeling the pain in her heart upon hearing the words spoken by Hong Xi Ning. "Darling, it hurts. Ning'er had to kiss me for this pain to go away."
Hong Xi Ning smiled warmly, she wrapped her hands around Mo Lian's neck and kissed her cheeks. "Have you?"
"Next?" Mo Lian turned her head, showing her another cheek.
Hong Xi Ning kissed him again and smiled warmly. "Where else?"
Mo Lian opened her mouth wanting to say it, but suddenly pushed Hong Xi Ning slowly and apologized. "We continue tonight, there are guests coming."
Hong Xi Ning was initially annoyed, but gave a small nod when she found out that there were indeed people willing to come here. Immediately, he stood behind Mo Lian, waiting for the guests who had come in a moment.
"Just get in, the door's not locked."
After saying that, the twin doors made of wood opened slowly with the sound of wood crackling.
The long-bearded old man, looking still fresh stepped in. Beside her was a girl in her early twenties, wearing a golden yellow hanfu and wearing a thin robe of pink chiffon cloth.
The girl had shiny black hair in the sun, there were two lumps on top of her head which was her hairstyle. His lips were small like a young cherry, his brows were thick carrying beauty, his black eyes were deep, his skin was smooth as jade.
"Please sit down." Mo Lian immediately invited the two people in front of her to sit down before they gave their greetings.
"Thank you." The old man cupped his hands together and sat across.
"What business are you two doing here?" Mo Lian could already guess it, but there was no harm in making small talk.
The girl frowned, she stood up and was about to slam the table, but was immediately stopped by the old man. He snorted coldly, dissatisfied with Mo Lian's attitude. No one had ever treated them like this, but look, the young man in front of him was extremely arrogant.
"I am Jiang Chen, this is my disciple, Xiao Shuyu. We're here to ask you to enter the Secret World with us."
Mo Lian remained calm despite being relieved that someone had finally brought her, but she remained mediocre and looked at Xiao Shuyu. "Nature and Man, are you serious? Isn't it the lowest above the Black God?"
Xiao Shuyu wanted to stand up and slam both of her hands on the table, but before that, her body trembled and began to feel a chill on her back. He looked at Mo Lian full of question marks, then looked at Jiang Chen.
"The person in front of you is an Intermediate-stage Earth God. If you're being reckless, Master can't protect you."
Hearing that, Xiao Shuyu sat back down and lowered her head, she was no longer confident. Finally he knew why Jiang Chen had brought him here, it was because the person in front of him was the key to entering the Secret World.
Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief at the calm Xiao Shuyu, but he was also helpless when he saw this kind of Xiao Shuyu. He looked up, looked at Mo Lian and replied, "That's what's suggested, but even every Secret World opened, there will be those who bring Nature and Man even the Golden Core. The lower the realm reached, the greater the profit gained."
Mo Lian nodded small. "But if that's it, you can hire someone else to look after him, no need to take us. Now, what is your real purpose?"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before replying, "Our Rose Sword Sect is the lowest power in Star Xiang. We hope with you and bring glory to us, so that after coming out of the Secret World, our sect can rise up and have many disciples."
"Why me? I am only an Intermediate-stage Earth God, why not ask for a Heaven God or something else?" Mo Lian originally wanted to accept it straight away, but she thought it was too fast and made her look low.
Jiang Chen sighed revealing helplessness. "We don't have enough wealth to hire them. Even if it had, the Heaven God is the strongest power, where might they want to work with our Rose Sword Sect."
Mo Lian could understand it. "Then, how are you going to pay me?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, he looked at Mo Lian from top to bottom over and over, as well as looking at Hong Xi Ning. He discovered that the clothes of the two people in front of him included Heaven Artifacts, so it was impossible for him to offer any wealth.
He wanted to give up and go home because of course this discussion would not work, because he did not have the goods on offer. But all of a sudden, he remembered someone saying that there was an alien Profound Ark outside, and it seemed like it was searching out about the God of Life Liberation.
"I can tell you information about the God of Life Liberation." Jiang Chen was not sure if this would work, and was unsure if the people in front of him were those carrying the Profound Ark. But, there is no harm in trying.
Mo Lian pondered for a moment, she turned her head to look at Hong Xi Ning and after getting the mark, she looked at Jiang Chen and nodded her head. "Okay, we'll join you. But, what does glory mean? Is there a ranking when entering the Secret World?"
Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and was very pleased, then he explained, "The Secret World is open for seven days, after coming out of the Secret World, in the sky there would be a large screen with a list of groups explaining about anything that the group found within the Secret World. Which is expressed not in the type of item, but the point, the point depends on how rare the item is taken from the inside."
Mo Lian nodded in understanding, but still did not understand how the mechanism regarding the Secret World listing system was. But he didn't care about it, he only cared about the Secret World.
Jiang Chen reached into his sleeves, then took out a golden metal with a strange carving on its surface. He had two marks, and handed one of them to Mo Lian. "The Secret World Coordinates are already recorded in it and will be open for another three days. With this sign, you can bring three to five people together."
Mo Lian took it and drained her energy. From his perspective, he saw a stream of golden lines leading him to the place where the Secret World was located. From this, he could see that there were already many gathered around him, building camps according to their respective groups.
As Jiang Chen had said before, not only were Nature and Humans coming, the dust-like Golden Core was also present to seek fortune.
Jiang Chen smiled. He stood up and cupped his hands together as he slightly bowed. "Then we go first."
Mo Lian stood up, returned Jiang Chen's greetings, then escorted him out.
After Jiang Chen and Xiao Shuyu left, Mo Lian observed the mark on her hand, she could feel the powerful energy flow contained within. From this, he knew that this mark could not be copied, and that Secret World was probably the relic of a strong man. Before his death, it condensed the energy in his body and formed a mark.
The reason why that person built the Secret World, Mo Lian could guess it, was because this was already commonplace. A powerful cultivator who was on the verge of death, but did not want to die and ended up choosing to use a certain method, deceiving under the pretext of passing down the technique, but actually taking over the body of the person who got the inheritance.
