Chapter 178: Discussion with His Parents.

After his discussion with Elder Li Huang and Elder Luo Zhen, Mo Jian visited his parents.

Looking at their son, the sect master was full of pride. Mo Jian’s success was a source of pride for him.

Who would have thought his weak good-for-nothing would turn a new leaf and could control both the Western Region and Southern Region in less than a year?

His rapid progress was nothing short of a miracle. Apart from his rapidly expanding chamber, his cultivation was not lagging behind.

At such a young age, he was already at Intermediate Core Refining Realm stage-4.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed such a feat was possible.

Moving from Mortal Rank-1 to Core Refining Realm stage-4 was insane and impossible. Yet, he was looking at them with a calm smile on his face.

"Son, you must have endured a lot of hardship," his mother, Liu Zexian, said with a hint of worry on her face.

She did not care how wealthy and strong he was, just the thought of him being in an unknown land gave her sleepless nights.

After coming out of her seclusion, many times she wanted to rush to the Southern Region to check on her precious son but was stopped by her husband.

"Mother, you don’t have to worry. It was no hardship but a great experience," Mo Jian responded with a reassuring smile.

He knew his mother; he knew she wouldn’t stop worrying even though she knew he was okay.

"Mother, how’s your cultivation?" he asked, changing the topic.

"Haha. Your mother did not disappoint you, right? Now, I’m a Golden Core stage-2 expert," she responded with a prideful smile.

"It is only a matter of time before I break through to stage-3," she said confidently.

"Really?! That’s great," Mo Jian was genuinely excited.

"Thanks to the Holy Land you provided, breakthrough is no longer difficult," his father said from the side.

"Apart from us and Elder Bai Delan, there are three Golden Core experts in the sect."

Mo Jian was not surprised. Many had been stuck at the peak of Core Refining for many decades with no hope of breakthrough.

The sudden appearance of Earth Grade Techniques and Peak High Grade Spiritual Veins made it easy to break into the Golden Core.

And this is just the beginning. As long as more people cultivate the Earth Grade Spirit Technique...

There will be many people at the Golden Core Realm, and the prosperity of the Dust Valley Sect would increase for another thousand years.

"Father, how is the preparation for the summit?" Mo Jian asked with a solemn tone.

This was a major hurdle in the sect’s development. If they did not handle it carefully, it could spearhead the destruction of their sect.

"Son, we’ve made the necessary preparations. We’re no longer weak like before," his father said calmly, his voice filled with confidence.

"That’s good to know. Besides, with the help of the chamber, I don’t think there will be much trouble for us. But what I’m worried about is something different," Mo Jian said seriously.

Hmm?

His parents creased their brows, staring at him. A solemn atmosphere hung in the air.

"Father, do you know of any hidden force or power that could make a Golden Core expert afraid?"

He had noticed the subtle actions of the Southern Region Capital Governor and the three sect masters.

Each of them hinted subtly at an incoming storm. Although it was not obvious at first, later on, he began to notice the pattern.

Subtle tension between the Golden Core experts. Why would four Golden Core experts rush to purchase the Lightning Wind Carriage?

Simple. For extra protection.

If they could be scared, then what about him?

Thus, he couldn’t help but worry.

When his parents heard this, they were quiet for a moment before they looked at each other.

Looking at the expressions on his parents’ faces, he knew they knew about the incoming storm.

His mother stared at him for a few seconds before she began slowly.

"What do you think of the Vengeful Spirits?" she asked.

"They are souls from the netherworld," Mo Jian responded without thinking.

He had seen a gate world during the hunt for the spiritual vein, and he only survived by a stroke of luck.

Unknown to his thoughts, his parents were shocked when they learned he knew of the netherworld.

"How do you know?" his father asked, unable to hide his shock.

His mother looked at him with a grave expression.

Mo Jian did not find any reason to keep it a secret and told them.

His parents were visibly shocked when they discovered a gate world to the netherworld was opened at the Western Region Border.

It had been many decades since the netherworld gateway appeared on the continent, and many believed it would be impossible for the gate to appear again.

But they were wrong.

"Are you sure you destroyed the ancient formation?" his father asked, his voice grave.

"Yes. With how weak I was then, it was impossible for me to kill a Wailing Revenant Spirit," Mo Jian responded seriously.

"You’re right. With your strength then, it was impossible to kill it. Sending it back to its world was the best outcome," his mother responded with a nod.

"So, is the secret about the netherworld?" he asked.

"Yes and no."

"Do you know why there are no cultivators higher than the Golden Core Realm?" his mother asked.

Mo Jian shook his head. "I don’t."

"According to legend and rumors, to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivators need to comprehend a rule." She paused for a moment before she continued.

"Rules are what govern the world, and to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm you will need to comprehend it."

"As long as one comprehends a rule, they are no longer mortal. They would receive baptism from the world, and their lifespan would increase. I heard they could live more than one thousand years."

"Besides, they could live without their body. As long as their Nascent survives, they could make a new body and inhabit it."

Listening to his mother, Mo Jian could not believe his ears. Who would have expected the world to be not as simple as it looks?

There are many secrets unknown to ordinary people.
