86: Chapter 86 List
Luoyun Peak.
Mo Shenggu's courtyard.
Lin Shen shuttled down from high altitude, arriving inside Mo Shenggu's courtyard.
"Revered Master, I wonder why you summoned me?"
Entering the courtyard, Lin Shen respectfully cupped his fists at Mo Shenggu.
Saying this, Lin Shen then cupped his fists at Mo Xiaoyu nearby: "Greetings, Senior Sister!"
At this moment inside the courtyard, Mo Xiaoyu was also standing respectfully beside Mo Shenggu with a respectful expression.
Looking at Mo Xiaoyu, Lin Shen guessed in his heart that Mo Shenggu suddenly looking for him should be related to the Secret Realm not long from now.
"Shen'er has arrived!"
Seeing Lin Shen arrive, Mo Shenggu smiled kindly and said: "Calling you here this time is mainly for the Secret Realm trip three months later."
Hearing Mo Shenggu's words, Lin Shen nodded, thinking to himself, indeed as expected.
At this critical juncture, only matters concerning that Secret Realm trip would make Mo Shenggu call him over so anxiously.
He didn't speak, just quietly looked at Mo Shenggu, waiting for what he had to say next.
Under Lin Shen's gaze, Mo Shenggu continued to speak: "For this Secret Realm trip, the roster of my Chiyun Valley and the other Four Great Sects has already come out, totaling one hundred and thirty-eight people."
"Only one hundred and thirty-eight people?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoyu nearby couldn't help frowning, speaking with some puzzlement: "Even if I haven't carefully calculated it, I remember that just within my Chiyun Valley alone, there are more than fifty people in the Foundation Establishment Realm under the age of fifty. Could it be that the Disciples under the other major Sects are facing such a shortage of talent?"
Regarding this, Lin Shen was also quite curious.
Among the five major forces in the Southern Wasteland, Chiyun Valley's strength was not considered top-tier.
Even Chiyun Valley had more than fifty Foundation Establishment Realm practitioners under the age of fifty; the other major Sects couldn't possibly have fewer than Chiyun Valley, and especially not fewer by so much.
Could it be that some unexpected change had occurred among them?
Looking at the curious Mo Xiaoyu and Lin Shen, Mo Shenggu shook his head and said: "That's not the case. It's just that a slight accident happened to this Secret Realm; a large amount of Spiritual Qi inside was lost, many Legacies suddenly collapsed, and the Secret Realm is somewhat unstable. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the people entering the Secret Realm were specially screened down to one hundred and thirty-eight people."
This Secret Realm had been maintained for tens of thousands of years. Now that an accident had suddenly occurred, to conserve resources, it was very likely that subsequent quotas would continue to decrease.
This indicated that on this Secret Realm trip, the competition among the Prodigies of various Schools would become increasingly fierce.
This was also the reason why he suddenly called Lin Shen and Mo Xiaoyu to his place.
"I see, this is not good news for us!"
Mo Xiaoyu nodded, looking at Mo Shenggu and saying: "Grandfather, how many quotas has my Chiyun Valley been allotted this time? With these quotas shrinking drastically, wouldn't many Foundation Establishment Cultivators under the age of fifty be screened out?"
"Naturally so. On this Secret Realm trip, my Chiyun Valley only has twenty-three quotas, which is not a large number."
Facing Mo Xiaoyu's inquiry, Mo Shenggu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.
Feeling their slightly nervous and expectant gazes, he couldn't help laughing and saying: "However, you can rest assured that I still have enough connections and resources within the Sect, and your quotas have already been finalized."
"That's good, that's good!"
Hearing this, both Mo Xiaoyu and Lin Shen couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.
Especially Mo Xiaoyu; her Aptitude wasn't that great to begin with, and being able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm relied entirely on Mo Shenggu's full cultivation and the assistance of that foundation establishment pill.
Ever since breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, her cultivation had become increasingly slow, and the improvement in her overall strength was not significant.
Basically, if there were no major opportunities, it was very likely that she would linger around the early and Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment for the rest of her life.
But now this Secret Realm gave her a chance; as long as her Luck was good enough to enter the Secret Realm and obtain massive Opportunities or formidable Legacies, it wasn't impossible for her to advance further in the future and contend for the Golden Core.
As for Lin Shen, he also paid close attention to this Secret Realm. After all, he had the treasure-seeking compass.
With the help of the treasure-seeking compass, on this Secret Realm trip, he would definitely be able to quickly find a large number of Opportunities and Legacies.
Therefore, he was determined to win this Secret Realm trip and would absolutely not give up.
What's more, there was also this Qin Mang who was very likely to enter the Secret Realm as well. That was the best Opportunity for him to hunt down Qin Mang and seize a massive amount of Luck.
If he missed this Opportunity, once Qin Mang always shrank back into Chiyun Valley, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to kill him and seize his Luck.
"Right, Revered Master, I wonder what kind of people have already had their quotas finalized within my Chiyun Valley this time?"
Lin Shen suddenly asked.
With the quotas for the Secret Realm trip shrinking, he was now eagerly wanting to know whether that Son of Luck carrying massive Luck, Qin Mang, was actually on the roster or not?
"I was just about to mention this matter!"
Hearing Lin Shen's inquiry, Mo Shenggu smiled and took out two Jade Slips from his Storage Pouch.
He handed them to Lin Shen and Mo Xiaoyu respectively, and smilingly said: "According to the statistics of our five major forces, the roster for the Secret Realm trip has basically been finalized, leaving only the last thirty-some quotas for other Disciples in the Schools to strive for. However, this is not something you need to concern yourselves with. Your focus right now should be to try your best to understand the detailed information of these people whose spots have already been finalized, and prepare yourselves to know yourselves and your enemy to win every battle."
Saying this, Mo Shenggu pointed at the two Jade Slips and continued: "The roughly one hundred completely finalized rosters of the Five Great Sects are all recorded inside. Inside, there is also detailed information describing them, as well as their combat power estimation and Realm Rank."
Among the Five Great Sects, it was not all harmony; it was just that everyone guarded their own territory, and coupled with similar strengths and the constraints of their predecessors, they did not resort to large-scale warfare.
Under such circumstances, Chiyun Valley had planted a large number of secret agents among the other Four Great Sects, specifically responsible for inquiring and collecting news about these Schools.
This roster was the news inquired and collected by these secret agents.
Similarly, there must also be secret agents planted by the other Four Great Sects within Chiyun Valley, it's just that the Sect hadn't discovered them.
Regarding this matter, basically people from the Five Great Sects knew it well in their hearts, and everyone turned a blind eye to it.
After all, the news was transparent to each other; I understood your news, and you were clear on my background, so neither side suffered a loss.
Unless it involved a major secret and Opportunity, this balance would simply not be broken.
Listening to Mo Shenggu's words.
Lin Shen and Mo Xiaoyu looked at each other, and they cast their gazes onto the Jade Slip in their hands.
Without the slightest hesitation, both of them placed them against their foreheads, projecting their Divine Sense outward to quickly absorb the detailed information inside.
