Chapter 283 Ten Years in the Western Regions (4000 words)
The news of Xiao Mo's death spread throughout the entire Western Regions at an extremely fast pace.
When anyone heard of Xiao Mo's death, they were filled with disbelief and immediately thought it was fake news.
Because they never expected it.
Such an arrogant man has fallen so suddenly.
In their hearts.
Whether you hate Xiao Mo or fear Xiao Mo.
Regardless of their feelings towards Xiao Mo.
But everyone in the Western Regions has the same understanding of Xiao Mo—Xiao Mo's strength is absolutely the greatest since ancient times!
Even everyone thought that with Xiao Mo's talent, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the legendary lost second realm.
After all, have you ever seen a cultivator who is invincible in the world just because they are at the Immortal Realm?
They all believed that with Xiao Mo's strength, he should have ruled the Western Regions for tens of thousands of years.
Until Xiao Mo died, no cultivator would ever raise their head again and dare to look directly at his majesty!
So, is it true that Xiao Mo is dead, as rumored?
How could Xiao Mo be dead?
Who could kill him?
But later, after making inquiries from various sources, they learned that it was all true.
That arrogant Xiao Mo actually went against the Great Dao in the end. In order to integrate his own rules into the Great Dao, he ultimately perished.
When the cultivators of the Western Regions learned of this news, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
They didn't know why Xiao Mo was doing this.
Why not just be a good ruler of the Western Regions? Why would he give up his promising future?
However, in most people's hearts, because Xiao Mo defied the will of Heaven and set a rule for the Western Regions, their respect for Xiao Mo has risen to a new level.
Even in the hearts of ordinary people, Xiao Mo is like a god.
Many mortal dynasties in the Western Regions even spontaneously built temples for Xiao Mo.
Despite Xiao Mo taking away 20% of the lifespan of 70% of the people in the Western Regions.
However, the rules established by Xiao Mo will bring six thousand years of peace to the Western Regions!
However, after Xiao Mo died, many sects realized that they seemed to have a chance to catch their breath.
Moreover, they realized that all the sects in the Western Regions were about to face a great opportunity!
At that time, Xiao Mo was fighting in the east and west, and in the south and north, destroying countless sects and killing countless high-ranking members of those sects.
Xiao Mo did not have time to assimilate these sects.
Although Xiao Mo usually opened his treasure vaults to reward the troops of many sects that were destroyed.
However, because Xiao Mo destroyed so many sects and obtained so many treasures, many sect treasures were not distributed and were left there untouched, with no one daring to touch them.
Besides treasures, blessed lands and grotto-heavens are rare finds; it's very difficult to find a place with abundant spiritual energy.
Because Xiao Mo destroyed many sects and created a lot of unclaimed land, many cultivators had long coveted it.
As for those sects that submitted to Xiao Mo, apart from the major sects that swore an oath of allegiance to him through the Heavenly Dao, the vast majority of sects only verbally pledged their allegiance to Xiao Mo.
After all, the Heavenly Dao Scroll is extremely precious, and the oath made with it is connected to the Great Dao. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can use the Heavenly Dao Scroll.
All these reasons led to Xiao Mo's death, which was like the collapse of the Demon-Sealing Tower.
Both the demonic sect and the Buddhist sect have made a significant comeback, and they are even competing with other sects for unclaimed territories.
Some cultivators who received Xiao Mo's reward and broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm simply gathered a group of people and started their own sects.
Furthermore, since there were no more top-tier experts in the Ascension Realm in the Western Regions at this time, and the various Immortal Realm cultivators were busy with post-war matters, these cultivators became even bolder.
However, these things have nothing to do with ordinary people.
Moreover, most cultivators in the Western Regions today dare not practice evil arts that use the blood, flesh, and soul of others as nourishment.
Overall, the Western Regions today, even during the turbulent post-war period, are more stable than in normal times.
As for the Myriad Paths Sect after Xiao Mo's death.
When the cultivators of the Myriad Paths Sect learned of Xiao Mo's death, most of them were filled with unease.
They were originally full of hope for their future.
After all, he had been by Xiao Sect Master's side ever since Xiao Sect Master became the sect master of the Myriad Paths Sect.
Even when the Myriad Paths Sect was besieged, none of them escaped.
With the sect leader's conquest, the Myriad Paths Sect has become the number one sect, and the other nine demonic sects have all submitted to the Myriad Paths Sect.
As a disciple of the Myriad Paths Sect, I naturally received many benefits.
Unexpectedly, the Myriad Paths Sect, which had become the number one sect in the Western Regions, suddenly declined...
It's one thing that the sect has fallen into decline, but the main problem is that the sect leader offended far too many sects and cultivators during his lifetime.
The entire Western Regions were practically plowed up by the sect leader.
The cultivators of the Myriad Paths Sect were very worried about being besieged by the entire Western Regions, especially by the Buddhist sects.
In the eyes of the Wandao Sect cultivators, Buddhism and Sect Master Xiao were mortal enemies.
With the sect leader gone, the Buddhist sect naturally wanted to vent its anger on the Myriad Paths Sect.
But as time went by, they discovered something.
That means the Buddhist temple didn't cause trouble for their Wandao Sect.
The disciples of the Wandao Sect had indeed heard that the Buddhist sect wanted to launch a counterattack against the Wandao Sect in order to avenge their grievances.
However, due to the opposition from Abbot Xujing and Wangxin of Kongnian Temple, the Buddhist community had no choice but to give up.
Besides the opposition from Kongnian Temple, many Buddhist temples were also trying to expand their influence after the war and were occupying other temples.
Therefore, most Buddhist temples don't actually have much free time.
Soon, the disciples of the Myriad Paths Sect gradually calmed down from their fears.
In fact, after they calmed down, they realized they had been overthinking things.
Because for a considerable period of time, no cultivators will emerge in the Western Regions who have reached the Ascension Realm.
Therefore, in such an environment, cultivators at the Immortal Realm are the highest combat power.
The Myriad Paths Sect also has several powerful cultivators at the Immortal Realm, plus the support of the sect's protective formation.
As long as the Myriad Paths Sect doesn't cause any trouble, basically no one can do anything to it.
Fortunately, all the cultivators in the Myriad Paths Sect had been purged before Xiao Mo set off on his expedition.
The cultivators who remain in the Myriad Paths Sect today all have a certain sense of belonging to the sect.
Furthermore, the elders of the Wandao Sect knew that it was precisely at this time that they needed to unite as one and absolutely could not allow internal strife.
Therefore, whether they are lower-level outer disciples or upper-level hall masters, peak masters, and elders, everyone works together towards the same goal.
And that was in the third month after Xiao Mo's death.
The Wandao Sect held a grand funeral for Xiao Mo.
Since Xiao Mo did not leave behind any remains, only a cenotaph could be erected for him.
Xiao Mo was not buried in the tombs of the successive sect leaders of the Myriad Paths Sect, but rather in that small plain.
After the funeral, everyone dispersed, and Yu Yunwei, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt alone in front of her senior brother's tombstone for a long, long time.
With Xiao Mo's passing, the Myriad Paths Sect must elect a new sect leader.
But unexpectedly, not a single elder, hall master, or peak master coveted the position of sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect.
They unanimously elected Xiao Mo's junior sister, Yu Yunwei, as the new sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect.
After this news spread, many cultivators who had been paying close attention to the Myriad Paths Sect were baffled.
Because Yu Yunwei was merely a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm.
Why is she able to get all the hall masters, peak masters, and elders to assist her?
Some speculate that it's because Yu Yunwei's methods of handling affairs are extremely sophisticated and ruthless, even surpassing many of the older generation. For example, when Xiao Mo was conquering the Western Regions, everything in the Wan Dao Sect was managed by Yu Yunwei, and there were no problems for several years, which is the best proof.
Some speculate that Yu Yunwei's Jade Purity Realm strength is just as exaggerated as Xiao Mo's, and that her Jade Purity Realm is comparable to other people's Immortal Realm, which is why the older generation gave way to Yu Yunwei.
Some people believe that the elders of the Wandao Sect deliberately created a false impression, intentionally making the world believe that Yu Yunwei's strength was comparable to that of her senior brother.
Regardless of the circumstances, Yu Yunwei eventually ascended to the position of Sect Master of the Myriad Paths Sect.
Moreover, no one dared to truly test the strength of this Junior Sister Xiao Mo.
What if I try it and die?
However, it was only three years after Xiao Mo's death.
Yu Yunwei, the sect leader of the Wandao Sect, broke through to the Immortal Realm.
Coincidentally, just four days after Yu Yunwei broke through to the Immortal Realm, before the news had even spread, several short-sighted sects, thinking they were powerful enough, became arrogant and joined forces to attack the Myriad Paths Sect, wanting to avenge the grudges of the past.
And just like what her senior brother did back then.
Yu Yunwei, dressed in a black dress, sat alone on the mountain peak, guarding the Wandao Sect.
When those cultivators invaded the sect and came before Yu Yunwei.
Yu Yunwei took off the vermilion wine gourd from her waist, tilted her head back and took a sip of mulberry wine. Holding her master's blood-red longsword in one hand and her senior brother's black broken sword in the other, she walked step by step into the allied army of tens of thousands of cultivators.
Half an incense stick later, Yu Yunwei beheaded the two Immortal Realm cultivators as easily as taking candy from a baby.
Although Yu Yunwei did not cross borders to kill enemies, at the same level, their own Immortal Realm Sect Master could not withstand a hundred rounds from Yu Yunwei.
This shows just how incredible her abilities are.
The allied monks fled in disarray.
After that, in addition to her beauty, Yu Yunwei's strength made the world gasp in astonishment.
No one, inside or outside the Wandao Sect, dared to question Yu Yunwei's strength anymore.
She firmly secured her position as the sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect.
Before we knew it, another three years had passed.
Because Xiao Mo has been dead for quite some time, some cultivators have become "forgetful" and no longer take the rules that Xiao Mo set back then seriously.
Of course, they might also think that Xiao Mo, no matter what, is ultimately just a cultivator at the Immortal Realm, and he can't really interfere with the laws of the Great Dao.
So they wanted to give it a try and continue practicing their evil magic.
After all, compared to ascetic training, practicing evil methods is far too comfortable, and the increase in one's cultivation level is visible to the naked eye.
At first, these cultivators did indeed have a very smooth cultivation process.
But when they were undergoing their tribulation, they discovered that the heavenly tribulation was extremely terrifying, exceeding that of normal cultivators by five or six times.
Any cultivator who uses the flesh and blood, as well as the souls of others, to cultivate will die in the tribulation of lightning, without exception.
In addition, any cultivator who innocently kills ordinary people will be drawn by some kind of mysterious cause and effect.
These people are prone to getting into dangerous situations, and they are unlikely to survive calamities, often resulting in their souls being scattered.
Before long, the cultivators who had initially held onto a sliver of hope gave up completely.
The tenth year after Xiao Mo's death
Inside the Kongnian Temple, a young girl had already packed her luggage in her room.
"Migu..."
Little Chaos Migu raised its head at the head of the bed and looked at its owner.
"I'm all packed. Migu, is there anything you need to take? This time, we won't be back for a very long time."
Wang Xin asked the little chaos softly.
"Migu Migu."
Little Chaos shook its head and then jumped onto Wangxin's shoulder.
"Okay, then we'll be going."
Just like ten years ago, Wangxin led Hun Dun out of the courtyard.
Just like a few years ago, Wang Xin had just stepped out of the courtyard when she saw Xu Jing.
"Abbot Grandpa..." Wang Xin put his hands together and bowed.
"Are we going down the mountain?" Xu Jing glanced at the girl's backpack and asked.
“Yes.” Wang Xin nodded, her clear eyes filled with determination. “I’m going to find him.”
"well……"
Xu Jing sighed, looking at the disciple in front of her who was like a granddaughter.
"Although Xiao Mo has been reincarnated, Wang Xin, in this vast sea of people, there are many more than just us from the Western Regions. Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
“I know, Abbot Grandpa, but I am a celestial being and can live for a very, very long time.”
Wang Xin nodded and said earnestly.
"And Abbot, even if it's just as you said, it doesn't matter. As long as Xiao Mo is still alive, I will find him, not even a needle, but even a grain of sand."
"Amitabha……"
Xu Jing shook his head and chanted a Buddhist prayer.
He didn't stop Wang Xin anymore, but closed his eyes and voluntarily made way for her.
Wang Xin put his hands together, bowed to the abbot, and then walked down the mountain.
"well"
Seeing all this, Xiao Mo shook his head.
Whether it's Yunwei or Wangxin, he doesn't want to see them so persistent.
I am merely a passerby in this book.
perhaps
They'll probably give up after searching for a while.
[The rewards from the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes have been calculated. The host is about to depart from the River of Time. Please prepare accordingly.]
As Xiao Mo was feeling sentimental, the voice of Bai Shi Shu entered his mind.
【three……
two……
one……】
As Bai Shishu's voice fell to the ground, Xiao Mo's illusory image dissipated with the wind.
A gentle breeze stirred the white clouds, drifting over the woods, sweeping across the plains, passing through the sea of flowers, and brushing against the girl's dark hair.
The girl, who was about to descend the mountain, gently pressed down the strands of hair that had been lifted by the breeze.
She turned her head but saw nothing, and could only let the breeze brush against her cheeks and pass through her fingers.
After a long while, the girl looked away and pulled the package on her shoulder.
The girl's small feet, clad in cloth shoes, took another step forward.
No turning back.
