Yunxiu Peak, formerly the mountain gate of the Demon Slayer Sect, covers a vast area and has numerous pavilions.
It is now more than adequate as the headquarters of the God-Slaying Alliance.
Although the alliance's strength has increased significantly, the number of its members has not increased much, because it mainly recruits top-tier cultivators.
Chu Mo simply doesn't have the time to train new talent now.
The calamity is only half a year away. If we cannot withstand this calamity...
Even he himself will turn to ashes, so what's the use of cultivating more geniuses?
He needs immediate combat power; everything else can wait until after the ordeal is over.
Besides, who knows if any of the people joining now are sent by the other side?
This is also the main reason why he requires those who join him to swear an oath on the Great Way.
But he was too lazy to do that for low-level cultivators. Anyway, with the Demon Slayer Sect, the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, and the Dragon Hidden Pavilion he founded himself, he had no shortage of middle and lower-level reserve forces.
Therefore, the alliance does not consider cultivators below the Mahayana stage at all.
However, there is an exception today.
That was a young Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Zheng Jingnian, the leader of the Five Talents of the Southern Region.
Many people outside the main hall knew about this young prodigy.
Zeng Mushen was even more impressed, for this boy was a direct descendant of the Zheng family of the Tianqi Kingdom.
Back in the Wuji Holy Land, before the duel between the young master and Venerable Cangyuan.
This kid even bowed to the young master as his master in person, completely disregarding the reputation of the Wuji Holy Land. He is decisive, energetic, and proud.
It should be noted that at that time, the young master was only a Mahayana stage cultivator.
Although he was exceptionally talented, his social status was nothing like it is now.
Many people back then were very pessimistic about the young master, believing that he was doomed to die.
But even under those circumstances, Zheng Jingnian deliberately took on the role of a disciple in public before the duel.
This kind of mentality and spirit is not something that ordinary people possess.
No wonder the young master granted him a private audience.
At this moment, Chu Mo looked at this genius from the Southern Region with a sigh, then couldn't help but laugh and joked:
"What? You came here to become my disciple after I fought against Venerable Cangyuan?"
"Now that I'm at odds with the Underworld Alliance, you've come here again. Are you afraid I'll lose?"
Zheng Jingnian, with a serious expression, quickly stood up and answered earnestly:
"No, I only became your disciple before the outcome of the battle at the Wuji Holy Land to show my sincerity."
"However, at that time, you did not give a direct answer, so I felt awkward about posing as your disciple and even more embarrassed to come to you."
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"Later, when I was traveling in the Western Regions, I accidentally encountered a disciple of the Demon Slayer Sect. Out of curiosity, I secretly followed him."
"After following him for a long time, I learned that he was the person you sent to find the Wood Spirit and Fire Spirit Source Stones."
"I don't know about the Fire Spirit Source Stone, but I do know some clues about the Wood Spirit Source Stone."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo immediately stood up abruptly and said urgently:
"You mean, you know the whereabouts of the Wood Spirit Stone? Where is it?"
Zheng Jingnian shook his head, then quickly explained:
"I don't know its whereabouts, I only know a legend about the Wood Spirit Stone."
"I learned about this legend from a biography unearthed from an ancient tomb."
"According to historical records, the tomb owner's ancestor was a general under the Green Emperor."
"During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Azure Emperor perished, and that general was also severely injured."
"But he still carried the Azure Emperor's body back to the Kunlun Realm and personally buried him in the eye of the forbidden sea in the Western Regions."
"I hadn't thought much about it before, and I wasn't particularly interested in this legendary item."
"After learning that you were looking for it, I wanted to find it and use it as a gift for becoming your apprentice, so I went to the sea eye."
"Unfortunately, it was too terrifying there. I searched for many days but couldn't find a way down, so I returned to the Southern Region, thinking of telling you about it."
After hearing the other party's long explanation, Chu Mo was stunned.
He sent his men out, who searched the world with great difficulty, but to no avail.
Deep down, he was almost in despair.
Five spirit stones, although that's considered getting three of them (gold, earth, and water), since Xiaoxian's stone can be borrowed at any time.
It was an incredible stroke of luck!
But the other two, they want to find in just six months.
That would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, or even as easy as ascending to heaven for him.
However, the chances of finding these two Originium are slim.
But now...
Suddenly, I learned the whereabouts of one of them; it was truly an effortless discovery.
How could he not be overjoyed?
Today is truly a day of double happiness!
He even began to feel that God was helping him in some mysterious way.
Could it be that they can't bear to see Earth continue to be domesticated? Hehe...
At this moment, Chu Mo's almost despairing heart was rekindled with hope.
Once you get it, all that's left is the Fire Spirit Source Stone!
Thinking of the little tiger cat that had awakened its innate fire spirit embryo and was cultivating in the Great Array of Spirit Awakening of the Heavens, he couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
Although the whereabouts of the Fire Spirit Stone are still unknown, the presence of the little tiger cat provides at least one more clue.
Although he hasn't found this clue to be of any use so far.
But at least it has the most direct connection with the Fire Spirit Source Stone.
It's better than nothing, right?
Chu Mo was in a great mood, and then looked at Zheng Jingnian and laughed loudly:
"If you're not afraid of being implicated by me, from now on, you'll be my third apprentice!"
A flicker of surprise crossed Zheng Jingnian's previously calm face, and he immediately knelt down without hesitation, saying:
