The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 460: The God of Life Liberation, and the Closing of the Secret World
The group of eight people continued to move from one place to another in search of resources. But they couldn't take many treasures so as not to attract attention when coming out of this place.
Mo Lian was really unhappy with this kind of system, and I don't know how many times she complained about it. This kind of system was like a double-edged sword: obtaining the first level would then get the best reward from the Secret World List, but it was accompanied by danger from revealing its wealth.
Then, about the Heaven God Monster Bone and the Human Emperor Note he found in different dimensions. He guessed it didn't count because the place stood alone.
Mo Lian took nothing and there were no more dimensions within the Secret World, so she simply accompanied Jiang Chen wherever he went. Every now and then he would kill monsters, and ask Qin Nian to cook food with the slain monsters.
If someone else came here risking their lives, Mo Lian did not care much, and even played around. He himself was walking in the garden of his own backyard. Earth God and Heaven God monsters were like little animals that could be killed easily.
Mo Lian did not know how Liu Gong was doing. Whether he was alive or not, he didn't care. But for Han Shian, he knew that Han Shian was still alive, because he was sure only Han Shian was capable of carrying the Heaven God Bone Monster, which was the only thing Han Shian was capable of, and it just so happened that the Heaven God Bone Monster was moving at high speed, as if it was dodging a chase.
He would let them hunt each other down, and in the end after coming out of the Secret World, the Heaven God Beast Bone would return to his hands again. He would make them feel they had earned a huge reward, after which drop it into the deepest hole by killing it.
As for how he killed him or the holder directly escaped after getting out of here, he had already prevented that from happening. The clones he left outside, were already on guard in a remote place that was most likely the path to take.
Mo Lian was going to kill him there, then hands off as if she didn't understand anything, or she could throw all the blame onto Liu Gong. No one should have suspected him, because the strongest one the people outside knew was Liu Gong.
At this moment, Mo Lian was sitting alone while her wives were cooking. He pondered, clenching his hands together to support his chin. "Until when should I stay here? If it takes too long, perhaps the God of Life Liberation will develop rapidly and become a high power that is not easily overcome."
"When should I hide?" Relaxing was his greatest wish, but this was also his fear. If he was relaxing, but suddenly an attack from an Immortal God appeared in front of him, he could not immediately take action.
"Are you done, not needing anything else?"
Jiang Chen, Xiao Shuyu, Wan Chun and Ming Yuyu landed in front of Mo Lian, bowing and cupping both hands.
"We have already obtained all the necessary resources for the sect. These resources are sufficient for our development over a thousand years. Thank you for your help." Jiang Chen bowed deeper to express his respect and gratitude to Mo Lian.
Mo Lian gave a small nod, but remained silent and said nothing more.
Xiao Shuyu, Wan Chun and Ming Yuyu went to another place nearby. They wanted to practice the techniques obtained from observing Mo Lian and Hong Xi Ning.
Xiao Shuyu had risen from Nature and Man to the Immortal Dao. Wan Chun from Nature and Man to the Late-stage Golden Soul. Ming Yuyu of the Realm and Man to the Intermediate stage Golden Soul, had almost broken through to the Late stage.
It was a very rapid improvement because it only took a week to achieve it.
Mo Lian looked up at Jiang Chen. He felt this was the time, no longer needing to wonder to himself for being too troublesome. "Explain all about the God of Life Liberation you know."
Jiang Chen nodded, he took a comfortable seat and began to explain, "The God of Life Liberation appeared about a hundred thousand years ago, but they began to be active fifty thousand years ago. Don't know what they're doing behind the scenes, but on the surface, they often share precious resources that even Earth Gods like me really appreciate."
"But strangely enough, after the God of Life Liberation operated for quite a long time, there was news that a very powerful star, died within a few years. All life in it dies, resources from plants to broken rocks. Golden Fire Stone, Soul Stone, and so on turned into dust ..."
Jiang Chen paused for a moment to take a breath. "There are some who suspect that the God of Life Liberation is the mastermind behind it. At that time, there were those protesting against the actions of the God of Life Liberation, saying to stop taking the Star Core. But, the protesting group disappeared the next day. No one knows how the group disappeared, everything disappeared without leaving a trace ..."
"However, we all know that the God of Life Liberation was the mastermind who exterminated him. Then, they create a competition to find the best talent to bring to train. Many knew that it was a trap, but not a few participated. As a result, up until now, the winner of the competition had no news yet."
Jiang Chen looked up at Mo Lian, waiting for his response.
"Do you know what the Star Core is for?" Although Mo Lian already knew from Hong Xi Jiang's speculations and her own thoughts, but she still wanted to find some certainty.
Jiang Chen shook his head. "I don't know— Wait!" He rubbed his chin as if remembering something. He looked up and said:
"I heard rumors that the God of Life Liberation always bought corpses from the Black God upwards, but better the God of Earth and the God of Heaven. Then, more talented is better. They could provide a satisfactory price, even abundant resources, might be able to last up to ten thousand years for a great power like the Jade Lake Holy Land."
"Is there any more?" Mo Lian felt that this information was still not enough.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, trying to recall the information he knew. "I don't really know about them, their information is very secretive. But someone should have worked with them. Race Mechanics? Yep! Mechanical Race! Then, the Iron Fist Sect. But, the Iron Fist Sect has long since disappeared from Star Xiang, I don't know where they are."
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
Mo Lian pondered and lowered her head. This information was not very useful, it was like everything he had guessed a while ago. But, buying the corpse of Heaven Village? This was definitely using it as a sacrifice, or perhaps resurrecting it into a puppet.
As for the matter of the God of Life Liberation, Mo Lian would ask Hong Xi Ning. Whether he was allowed to go to the Northern Region or not, or he had to wait until the danger there disappeared. But his premonition said that there was no longer any danger that could endanger his safety.
"Darling, the food is ready!"
Mo Lian looked up, looking back at Yun Ning who was waving her hands. He smiled, then looked at Jiang Chen. "Do you want to eat together?"
"No, no, no." Jiang Chen shook his head many times. "I have long since escaped from secular life, I have not eaten and drunk for ten thousand years."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly as he closed his eyes and combed his long beard.
"Oh? Okay." Okay." Mo Lian gave a small nod, stood up then turned towards Yun Ning. If Jiang Chen refused, then there was no need to be offered any more.
Jiang Chen was silent with his mouth open. He wondered why the second offer had not come. Usually, people will offer three times. But why is this only once?
Hey you! You're not according to the rules! You should offer to eat three times!
Jiang Chen cried tearlessly, he bit the handkerchief he was carrying.
Mo Lian did not care about Jiang Chen. You refuse, then it's done, there's no second chance.
Yun Ning clasped Mo Lian's hand, looking back at Jiang Chen as he stepped onto the dining table. "Did he not eat together?"
Mo Lian shook her head. "No, he's been separated from secular life, he doesn't want to eat and drink, he considers all that unimportant. Just wasting time preparing ingredients, washing, cooking. Better to fast!"
Naturally, Jiang Chen heard Mo Lian's remark, and it made him feel even more pain. He regretted, all this time adventuring together, he had only been cultivating, but his nose had always caught the scent of cooking. When he was offered a meal together, he refused.
"So ..." Yun Ning nodded small. "Pity, being separated from secular life, means not getting married."
Sharing the lightning that struck, Jiang Chen convulsed when he heard that. All along, he had been focused on cultivating, but recently he had realized that wife was very important. When he wanted to find a life companion, he was already too old and his appearance could not return as young as it used to be. That, painful!
Mo Lian ate the dishes on the table with his wives happily, showing their romance and it made Jiang Chen envious.
Jiang Chen turned to look at his practicing disciples. He got up and approached them. "Pupil, I know you live to cultivate. But I hope you can live happily by getting a companion ..."
After saying that, without waiting for a reply and under the confused gazes of his students, Jiang Chen went away in grief.
...
After eating the food, Mo Lian sat cross-legged under the tree while rubbing the heads of her wives in turn.
Hong Xi Ning sat on Mo Lian's lap, Yun Ning sat on the left side and leaned her head on her shoulder, as well as Qin Nian sitting on the other side.
"I feel like our business here is over, I've got everything I need. If Yue Fu says that the Northern Region is safe, we will go there in the near future."
The three remained silent, but they stated that they agreed.
Mo Lian smiled and wanted to say something to make small talk, but swallowed her words back. He looked up at the irregular flow of spiritual energy and the sky began to experience a crack in blue.
"The world of Secrets is almost closed."
The cracks in the sky continued to expand and break like glass. Those pieces of sky turned into golden flakes of light that spread out in all directions, and each time would multiply, until the light was like rain with a waterfall-like volume.
All of the humans who were in the Secret World, were enveloped by a golden light. Then, when the golden light disappeared, the enveloped human disappeared.
