80: Chapter 80 Mo Shenggu's Past

"Elder Mo, your ancestors and father shed blood and sacrificed their lives for Chiyun Valley, and this time you have taught such an excellent Disciple as Lin Shen. Your contributions can be said to be monumental."

"Now, you have been stuck at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm for nearly a hundred years."

"To reward you, a share of the condensing spirit liquid a year from now will belong to you. In addition, the Sect Blessed Land will be provided for you to Cultivate for ten years, fully assisting you to make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!"

Looking at Mo Shenggu, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu pondered slightly for a moment, and finally a trace of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"condensing spirit liquid?"

Hearing the words condensing spirit liquid, Mo Shenggu's breathing became a bit hurried, his face flushed, and he bowed excitedly with cupped fists, "Disciple Mo Shenggu kowtows and thanks the Sect Master. Since the Sect has bestowed such a heavy treasure, this Disciple will surely go through fire and water for the Sect in the future without hesitation!"

This was condensing spirit liquid!

How could a treasure capable of increasing the chance of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm by thirty percent for the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm not make him excited?

Such precious condensing spirit liquid was extremely scarce throughout Chiyun Valley, with only a mere three or four portions produced in a hundred years.

Now that he could obtain a quota, coupled with being able to enter the Sect Blessed Land to Cultivate wholeheartedly for ten years, along with the Sect's vigorous support and the Foundation accumulated over the years, he would surely make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm after coming out of seclusion.

Thinking of being able to make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, the expression on Mo Shenggu's face became increasingly excited, and the smile on the corners of his mouth could not stop at all.

In the surrounding hall, a group of Golden Core Elders looked at Mo Shenggu, their eyes inevitably filled with envy.

Originally, they also wanted to strive for a portion of condensing spirit liquid for their descendants. Now it seemed there was one less quota, and their competitiveness inevitably grew a bit stronger.

In the hall, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, sitting in the main seat, looked at Mo Shenggu's excited appearance and merely smiled faintly.

"No need to thank me, nor is there any need to go through fire and water; this is what you deserve!"

Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu waved his hand casually toward Mo Shenggu, wearing a smile at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Your duty now is to properly consolidate your Foundation, strive to use the condensing spirit liquid to enter the Sect Blessed Land for closed-door cultivation to make a Breakthrough a year later, and then pass down the incense and Legacy of your Mo Family lineage."

These words were not hypocrisy from Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, but words from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu had witnessed the contributions of Mo Shenggu's ancestors and his loyalty to Chiyun Valley.

Back then, he was of the same generation as Mo Shenggu's grandfather. At that time, Mo Shenggu's Family, under the protection of their ancestors and with their own formidable Family strength, was extremely prominent throughout Chiyun Valley.

Moreover, he had watched Mo Shenggu and his father grow up since childhood, and they had always lived within Chiyun Valley.

It could be said that when it came to inherited loyalty, even he could not compare to Mo Shenggu, someone who had served Chiyun Valley for generations.

It was just a pity...

Because of the great battle a hundred years ago when the five Sects jointly annihilated the Blood Fiend Sect, Mo Shenggu's grandfather, who was at the Late Stage Golden Core Realm, and his father, who was at the Early Stage Golden Core Realm, both perished.

In that battle, besides those two Golden Core Realm individuals, the Mo Family lineage also suffered the loss of a dozen or so Foundation Establishment Realm members, leaving only Mo Shenggu, who was left behind in Chiyun Valley.

As for the Qi Refining Realm, the casualties in that battle were countless, numbering in the hundreds at that time.

If not for the decline of the Family, and if not for the demise of Mo Shenggu's grandfather and father, Mo Shenggu might have already reached the Golden Core Realm by now, and his Mo Family lineage's prestige in Chiyun Valley would not even be weaker than his own.

And this was why Mo Shenggu, who was only at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm, held such a high status in Chiyun Valley.

If it were not for the members of the Mo Family lineage shedding blood and sacrificing their lives for the entire Chiyun Valley, fighting bravely on the front lines, Chiyun Valley would not have its glory today at all.

Therefore, this portion of condensing spirit liquid naturally belonged to Mo Shenggu, and no one else had the qualification to compete for it!

Otherwise, even if Mo Shenggu cultivated ten Prodigy Disciples like Lin Shen, under the competition of many Golden Core Elders, what qualification would he have to obtain this portion of condensing spirit liquid?

All of this was merely the protection of his ancestors.

All of this was the achievement that Mo Shenggu's father exchanged with his life for Chiyun Valley more than a hundred years ago.

"Yes, this Disciple understands!"

Mo Shenggu nodded with red eyes, and Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's words inevitably reminded him of the miserable fate of his lineage.

His good-for-nothing son had gone missing more than twenty years ago and had likely perished out in the wilderness long ago.

Now there was only a granddaughter left.

With talents withering in the Mo Family lineage nowadays, he truly needed to carefully consider the continuation of their incense and Legacy...

However, Mo Xiaoyu was ultimately a woman.

A woman would eventually have to marry.

Even if a husband married into the Family, the Bloodline in his veins would still be that of someone else, and it would only be a nominal relationship with his Mo Family...

When that time came, if he himself perished, wouldn't this Mo Family lineage be cut off in his hands?

Thinking this, Mo Shenggu felt increasingly desolate.

He only hoped that he could make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible, as if to rejuvenate his second spring, and see if the revived vitality could continue the incense for his Mo Family...

Giving Mo Shenggu a deep look, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu shook his head and looked at Lin Shen again, saying, "Cultivate properly, and do not disgrace your master. With the treasures I bestowed upon you and the supreme Foundation of a perfect Foundation Establishment, if you cannot make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core in the future, I will be the first one not to spare you!"

Hearing Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's words, Lin Shen nodded heavily, his voice respectful as he said, "Disciple Lin Shen will never disappoint the Sect Master's high expectations. In the future, I will surely practice diligently, strive to raise my cultivation as soon as possible, and pursue the Opportunity of the Golden Core Realm!"

Not be able to make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core in the future?

With so many treasures and opportunities upon him, Lin Shen truly dared not imagine a scenario where he failed to make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core in the future.

If he really couldn't make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, what the hell was the point of cultivating immortality?

Let alone Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu not sparing him, even he himself would probably find a piece of tofu to bash his head against and die.

"Alright, alright, as long as you know it in your heart!"

Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over Lin Shen and Mo Shenggu: "You two may withdraw first. I still have important matters to discuss with the various Elders!"

"This Disciple takes leave!"

Mo Shenggu and Lin Shen looked at each other, nodded quickly, and cupped their fists respectfully as they left the hall.

...

Leaving the Sect Master's Main Hall.

Having just returned to Luoyun Peak, Mo Shenggu couldn't help laughing out loud, his laughter full of joy and complacency.

This time, not only did Lin Shen receive generous rewards given by the Sect, but he himself also obtained a precious share of condensing spirit liquid, gaining the Opportunity to make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm in the future.

And all of this, as he did not understand Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's attitude, he simply regarded as a reward given because he had cultivated the Prodigy Disciple Lin Shen, coupled with his past contributions to the Sect.

He had not thought carefully yet: if not for the contributions of his ancestors, and if not for the demise of his grandfather and father, both of whom were in the Golden Core Realm, no matter how well he did, how could he possibly compete for this precious share of condensing spirit liquid?

Throughout Chiyun Valley, he was not the only one at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm; there were countless Disciples under various Golden Core Elders who were stuck at this Bottleneck of Peak Foundation Establishment.

So many people were eyeing the condensing spirit liquid covetously. Without the contributions of his ancestors, Mo Shenggu wouldn't even mention getting a share of condensing spirit liquid—he wouldn't even have the qualification to compete for it.
