Xu Zhangqing

Investigating news of the Gengjin Sword Embryo was more difficult than Mo Yin had expected.

For several consecutive days, he flipped through a large number of classics in the Scripture Pavilion on the pretext of looking up cultivation methods, and also asked several familiar collateral-lineage juniors for information.

The responses he could get were either a head shake or silence.

The Gengjin Sword Embryo was in the Mo Family—not just anyone was qualified to come into contact with it.

Some people knew of its existence, but those who knew its exact location could be counted on one's fingers.

In the afternoon, as Mo Yin came out of the Scripture Pavilion, he ran head-on into several direct-lineage juniors who had just walked out of the Inner Court.

The leader was Mo Yun, a core direct-lineage member of the Mo Family, at Nascent Soul Early Stage.

This man had a handsome appearance, with undisguised arrogance between his brows.

Behind him followed several lackeys of collateral-lineage origin, and the group chatted and laughed as they discussed the upcoming Direct Lineage Assessment.

Seeing them walking toward him, Mo Yin instinctively lowered his head, then stepped to the side of the road, wanting to let them pass first.

However, Mo Yun's gaze fell on him: "Isn't this Mo Yin?"

Hearing this, Mo Yin raised his head and glanced at the other party rather nervously: "Something the matter?"

Mo Yun stopped his footsteps, a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth: "I heard you've been spending several days in the Scripture Pavilion lately—quite diligent, aren't you?"

"What, you want to take a gamble on the assessment?"

Mo Yin lowered his eyelids, his voice pressed low: "Just casually looking around."

"Casually looking around?"

Mo Yun snorted, and the several lackeys behind him also laughed. He took two steps forward and said from a superior position: "Mo Yin, don't you know your own aptitude?"

"A two-hundred-year-old man, with merely Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, can't even compare to collateral-lineage juniors, and you still want to turn things around in the Direct Lineage Assessment?"

"I'm not saying this to be mean—some things just can't be achieved through effort!"

Mo Yin clenched his fingers, maintaining that cowering and gloomy expression on his face.

He didn't even refute it, instead burying his head even lower.

Seeing his appearance, the disdain on Mo Yun's face grew stronger. He stepped forward again, his tone carrying a hint of boasting: "Do you know what rewards the top few in this Direct Lineage Assessment get?"

"The Great Elder personally promised that the top three can enter the deepest part of the Ancestral Land and choose a treasure."

He paused, savoring the fleeting shock on Mo Yin's face, and the curve of his mouth rose a few degrees more: "The treasures kept there are all heirlooms our Mo Family has passed down for a long time."

"Have you heard of the Gengjin Sword Embryo?"

"That is a supreme treasure capable of drawing upon the Metal Law!"

"This time, the Great Elder has included it among the rewards."

"Of course, these things have nothing to do with you."

"A piece of trash who can't even pass the first round of the assessment—still hoping to enter the deepest part of the Ancestral Land?"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"I heard he used to be a Puppet Emperor?"

"Nonsense, he's clearly called the Foolish Prince!"

"Hahaha!"

The several collateral-lineage lackeys behind Mo Yun joined in with mockery.

Mo Yin stood in place, and not only was there no anger on his face, but a hint of surprise appeared instead.

"Good fellow—news I searched for three whole days has just appeared like this."

Seeing Mo Yin remain silent for a long time, Mo Yun patted the nonexistent dust off his clothes with satisfaction, then led his lackeys away in high spirits.

Mo Yin waited until the backs of Mo Yun and the others disappeared at the end of the corridor before raising his head.

At this moment, the cowering and wooden expression on his face had completely vanished, replaced by a calmness suppressed to the extreme.

He turned around and quickly walked toward his cultivation chamber.

The moment the stone gate closed behind him, Hui Jiuming's voice sounded in his mind, hoarsely saying: "The Mo Family plans to use the Gengjin Sword Embryy as an assessment reward—aren't they afraid of trouble?"

"Not using it as a reward, but as bait."

Mo Yin sat on the stone bed, pressing his hands on his knees: "The Mo Family couldn't possibly really give away the Gengjin Sword Embryo. Put nicely, it's letting the juniors choose, but in reality, the things they can actually get their hands on must be those permitted to be taken away."

"But the location of the Sword Embryo has already been confirmed—it's in the deepest part of the Ancestral Land."

"As long as I can pass the Direct Lineage Assessment, I'll have a legitimate reason to get close."

"You really plan to get in?"

Hui Jiuming's voice suddenly sank: "With your current cultivation, not to mention the top three, you might not even survive the first round."

"Those young juniors are either Earth Grade Golden Cores or Superior Nascent Souls."

"I know."

Mo Yin's voice was soft, but carried a determination that blocked off all retreats: "But this is the only chance. Apart from the Direct Lineage Assessment, there's no reason that could let me, an outsider on the edge, directly step into the deepest part of the Ancestral Land."

"Since I know the location, I must go."

After speaking, he took out what Xu Zhangqing had given him.

Three-riding Blue Edge, Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman.

One could slay below Nascent Soul, the other could withstand Nascent Soul attacks.

Perhaps with their help, he could pass the upcoming assessment.

After hearing this, Hui Jiuming fell silent.

It knew Mo Yin was right—the Mo Family Ancestral Land was not only filled with mechanisms, but deep within sat a God Transformation Elder, and every passage into the Core Area was shrouded in his Divine Sense.

Those who trespass had only a dead end.

The only way to survive was to walk in openly and aboveboard.

In the silent cultivation room, a needle drop could be heard; after a long while, Hui Jiuming spoke again, his tone tinged with a hint of madness: "Actually there is another method, only it is extremely risky."

Mo Yin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What method?"

"Heh~"

Hui Jiuming smiled: "Summon the Abyssal Black Lotus!"

Mo Yin's pupils shrank sharply: "You fucking insane?!"

One person and one demon had lived together for many years.

Regarding the situation of Yuan Xu, he had some understanding.

The reason Hui Jiuming had become what he was now had everything to do with the Abyssal Black Lotus.

It was said this thing could devour everything and assimilate everything, its power extremely terrifying.

Even Hui Jiuming, the Abyss Master of Yuan Xu, did not know where it came from.

In short, it was extremely mysterious and extremely difficult to deal with.

Currently, it was quietly blooming within Yuan Xu in the Demon Realm.

The Hui Jiuming of this moment appeared extremely cold: "Of course I know, once it is drawn over, no one can predict the consequences."

However, things have come to this—do you have any other choice?

This sword and talisman—one look and you know they are not things of the Mo Family!

Moreover, only by obtaining the Gengjin Sword Embryo do you have the qualification to discuss the future with Xu Zhangqing.

If you cannot obtain it, you are just a useless person who cannot stay in the Mo Family and has no place to stand.

The reason it was so bold was because the seal between the Central Region and the Demon Realm, namely the gap, had now disappeared.

In other words, previously drawing over the Abyssal Black Lotus was impossible, but now as long as one puts in effort, this thing will appear.

By then, perhaps the Yuan Xu side could instead return to normal.

Therefore, Hui Jiuming appeared to be helping others on the surface, but in reality had his own calculations!
