191: Rejection

"Bang~"

The sound of a chessboard being overturned came.

Shen Xuanzhao and Yun Qingsi reacted quickly, getting up in a hurry.

"Greetings, Senior."

The two bowed respectfully.

Mo Xuan only had time to nod slightly at the three of them before feeling powerful repulsive forces continuously coming.

The already illusory and ethereal snake shadow was squeezed to the point of almost shattering.

"Repulsive force..."

Mo Xuan's heart tightened.

Without time to think further, a stream of light flew out and merged into Zhou Xiuyuan's mind.

"If anything happens, you can summon me..."

Mo Xuan's deep voice sounded as if it came from a distant shore, not entirely real.

Zhou Xiuyuan looked at the fading phantom.

There was no time to ask anything else.

His right hand quickly swept across his waist.

Several Jade Slips flew into the air.

"Old Ancestor, this is a method I stumbled upon; it might be useful for the family."

Zhou Xiuyuan's tone was slightly urgent. These were the cultivation methods of The Way of the Totem that several people had collected and Zhou Xiuyuan had inscribed into these Jade Slips. Seeing Mo Xuan's figure about to disappear, he feared there would be no other chance, so he hastily took them out.

Mo Xuan's remaining Divine Sense swept over the several Jade Slips, imprinting all their contents into his mind.

Finally, he nodded slightly and disappeared into thin air.

The dim scale fell from the air, caught by Zhou Xiuyuan.

After this experience, the scale, which had long lost its power, seemed to have recovered quite a bit.

The marks on it had faded considerably.

"Hoo~"

Zhou Xiuyuan let out a breath.

He put the several Jade Slips back into his Storage Pouch.

There was obvious joy on his face.

"Big Brother Zhou, what was that just now?"

Shen Xuanzhao and Yun Qingsi saw Mo Xuan's figure disappear.

They came to Zhou Xiuyuan's side, their voices filled with doubt.

Zhou Xiuyuan nodded.

"I don't know what happened either."

Then, he shook his head again; he also didn't know how his Old Ancestor could suddenly appear beside him.

Zhou Xiuyuan's heart stirred.

He hadn't had time to check that stream of light just now.

So he went into the water pavilion, sat down cross-legged, and immersed his Divine Sense into the stream of light.

Shen Xuanzhao and Yun Qingsi had also seen the stream of light emitted by Mo Xuan.

They did not disturb him now.

They sat back in their original places, and their spiritual power surged, restoring the overturned chessboard.

"Senior Brother, you cheated."

At this moment, seeing the black and white pieces back in their boxes, the chessboard empty, and Shen Xuanzhao seriously pinching a black piece, preparing to place it down again, Yun Qingsi spoke angrily.

Just now, she was clearly about to win.

"Cough~"

"Junior Sister, I was too shocked just now, the pieces scattered everywhere and couldn't be distinguished anymore, so we can only start over. I can't be blamed for this."

Shen Xuanzhao chuckled, placing the piece in his hand.

Yun Qingsi glared at Shen Xuanzhao.

Both were at the Foundation Establishment Stage of cultivation, how could they not remember a chess game?

But looking at Shen Xuanzhao's appearance at this moment, she didn't bother to argue.

So she conjured a white piece and placed it on the chessboard.

However, most of their attention was on Zhou Xiuyuan, who was sitting cross-legged.

Inside Zhou Xiuyuan's mind.

As Zhou Xiuyuan's Divine Sense immersed itself.

That stream of light exploded.

It transformed into a torrent of information, impacting Zhou Xiuyuan's mind.

"Summoning technique..."

"..."

After a long while.

Zhou Xiuyuan reopened his eyes.

The joy in his eyes was undeniable.

"Big Brother Zhou, how was it?"

Seeing Zhou Xiuyuan wake up.

Yun Qingsi quickly pushed the pieces on the chessboard.

Scattering the game.

She asked Zhou Xiuyuan.

Shen Xuanzhao looked at the game he was about to win, helplessness in his eyes.

However, he had indeed cheated first, so Shen Xuanzhao could only give a wry smile and separate the pieces.

Zhou Xiuyuan's lips held a slight smile.

"The Qingyang Li Clan has been chasing us for so long; it's time for them to pay the price."

Yet the words he spoke were somewhat icy, like the Great Snow Mountain standing in his mind.

At his waist, the one heart sword buzzed, and a chill emanated from it.

Yun Qingsi and Shen Xuanzhao exchanged glances, their eyes bright.

"However, we still need to make some preparations."

Zhou Xiuyuan pressed the hilt of the one heart sword at his waist.

He added another sentence.

Yun Qingsi and Shen Xuanzhao nodded.

On Jade Moon Peak.

Mo Xuan withdrew his Divine Sense, deep in thought.

"Divine Descent, active projection, but it has significant limitations. Descending across realms, although with the scale as an anchor, it's still not enough, which is why it was repelled so quickly."

"Descending by summoning should be different..."

Mo Xuan pondered this recent experience.

This Divine Ability could project his Divine Sense onto a scale with which he had a connection.

However, it must have been due to the immense distance and cross-realm travel that the condensed phantom dissipated in just a moment.

Mo Xuan nodded, having a plan in mind.

He had gained a considerable understanding of this newly acquired Divine Ability.

"The Way of the Totem..."

He recalled the contents of the several Jade Slips Zhou Xiuyuan had given him at the end.

Mo Xuan examined them carefully.

This was clearly not the same System as cultivation.

totems were something Mo Xuan knew from his previous life.

But he hadn't expected to encounter them in this way.

"With the System's connection, perhaps those Zhou Family disciples without cultivation talent really have a chance of success..."

Mo Xuan scanned the various conditions within. Although there were many restrictions, and the Lifespan could not compare to Cultivators, the upper limit of strength was also unclear.

But if it could be used by the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family's lower and middle-tier strength would surely increase significantly again.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Xuan sent a voice transmission.

He summoned all the Zhou Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Zhou Liyue was cultivating in seclusion in a secret chamber on the Feiyue Peak Summit. After receiving Mo Xuan's voice transmission, she came out directly and arrived by Mo Xuan's side.

Not long after.

The Zhou Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered at the Feiyue Peak Summit.

After greeting Mo Xuan one by one.

Zhou Licheng took out several Jade Slips.

Mo Xuan's Divine Sense overflowed.

He inscribed The Way of the Totem.

Then, the Jade Slips floated down, landing in the hands of the Zhou Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Mo Xuan did not say much.

The Zhou Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators passed the Jade Slips among themselves.

After some time.

"Uncle Xuan, where did this method come from?"

Zhou Licheng could not hide the excitement in his heart. After the Zhou Family members had looked at it, they could also feel its immense value.

However, there was also hesitation, unsure if it could be used by the Zhou Family.

"It came from Xiao Yuan, and he has already reached Foundation Establishment."

Mo Xuan did not conceal it.

"Old Ancestor, when can Xiao Yuan return?"

Zhou Leyi's expression was excited.

As Zhou Xiuyuan's father, although he knew Zhou Xiuyuan was fine, he still had considerable worries in his heart.

"He cannot return for now."

Mo Xuan shook his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leyi sighed inwardly, but now that Zhou Xiuyuan was safe and had already advanced to Foundation Establishment, it meant he was not doing too badly.

Collecting his thoughts, Zhou Leyi continued to study the Jade Slip in his hand.

The Zhou Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators all expressed their insights and deductions.

Mo Xuan did not bother with them anymore.

His figure flickered slightly, returning to the giant tree that had grown quite a bit.

He found his original comfortable spot and began to nap.
