474: Chapter 474 An Encounter with Ji Jiuyou

"This Sect is not weaker than Medicine King Valley; it is impossible that they didn't leave anything behind."

"Are you very familiar with this place?" Mo Tianxiao asked.

The old Daoist spoke up: "I faintly remember some things. This Sect is called the Fist Sect. I seem to recall having met their Sect Master; he was a formidable fellow."

"Sigh, it's just that I don't know what exactly happened back then. Medicine King Valley, and now the Fist Sect—how did they all end up destroyed like this?"

The memory fragments in the old Daoist's mind were too fragmented. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have experienced this catastrophe himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall it.

"Brother Mo?"

Just at this moment, a puzzled voice came from afar, followed by a figure flying over.

Mo Tianxiao squinted to look and was somewhat surprised. "Brother Ji?"

The person who arrived was none other than Ji Jiuyou, whom he had met at the Demonic Path conference in the Wanxiang Heavenly Domain—that Demonic Path Prodigy who possessed the God-Demon Physique.

Mo Tianxiao hadn't expected to run into him here. Upon further thought, the other party was a Genius from a Demonic Path Sect in the Guixu Heavenly Domain; it made sense for him to appear here for an excursion into such an ancient Secret Realm.

"Brother Mo, I didn't expect it to really be you. Since you came to the Guixu Heavenly Domain, why didn't you come to visit my Ancient Demon God Sect?"

Ji Jiuyou was also somewhat pleasantly surprised to see Mo Tianxiao.

After all, Mo Tianxiao had left a deep impression on him; he was an absolute Prodigy.

"Brother Mo, what is this attire? Have you joined another Sect?" Seeing the small longsword emblem on Mo Tianxiao's clothing, Ji Jiuyou quickly asked.

Mo Tianxiao smiled. "It's a long story. I am now a Disciple of Divine Sword Mountain, and this time I've come to explore this Secret Realm as part of the vanguard team."

"And Brother Ji, it's been a long time; you are as dashing as ever."

Upon learning that Mo Tianxiao was already a Disciple of Divine Sword Mountain, Ji Jiuyou's expression turned regretful. "What a pity. If Brother Mo had come to my Ancient Demon God Sect first, perhaps you would have joined us."

"As for being as dashing as ever, I see that Brother Mo is the one who is truly outstanding. Back then, you were able to defeat me even when your cultivation was weaker than mine. Now, your cultivation has progressed rapidly, and you have actually reached the Perfection of the Sovereign Realm. I am no match for you."

Ji Jiuyou looked emotional. He was currently only at the Perfection of the Upper Sovereign Realm. Although he could go into seclusion at any time to attempt a Breakthrough to the Law Realm, he knew he could not be arrogant or rash.

In the past, his personality had been somewhat arrogant, but ever since meeting Mo Tianxiao, he had restrained himself a lot, understanding the principle that there is always someone better.

Now, seeing Mo Tianxiao again, he understood this point even more clearly.

"Brother Ji, you flatter me. Have you also come for the Opportunity on the mountain peak?" Mo Tianxiao asked with a smile.

Ji Jiuyou nodded. "Since I've encountered it, I naturally have to compete for it. However, I fear this Opportunity will not be easy to obtain."

He looked at the many Cultivators fighting in a chaotic melee ahead. "This Secret Realm is clearly not an ordinary ancient Secret Realm; it is very likely more dangerous than we imagined."

"Previously, Disciples from my Ancient Demon God Sect encountered a strange creature in this Secret Realm. It had immense combat power and was extremely difficult to deal with. For that small Opportunity, our Sect lost quite a few people. This Sect is likely not simple either. If not for the fact that so many Cultivators have gathered here, my Ancient Demon God Sect would certainly not have come to get involved."

Ji Jiuyou's tone revealed deep wariness toward that strange creature.

Being able to make such a Child of Destiny wary, Mo Tianxiao felt rather curious about what kind of demons and monsters were in this Secret Realm.

Mo Tianxiao looked at Zhang Genshuo to the side and asked, "Old Zhang, do you have anything to say?"

Hearing this, the old Daoist just smiled. "This Daoist only knows that there is a significant Opportunity inside. As for whether you can obtain it, that depends on whether you have the ability."

"However, there is one thing this Daoist must remind you: if the thing this kid mentioned is the same as what is in my memory, then there will be big trouble. It's possible these guys will all die here."

"It's that serious?" Mo Tianxiao's expression became grave.

"Mo Zi, this Daoist suggests we retreat for now. It would be better to wait until the Restriction loosens a bit more and let stronger people come here. Besides, this place is so dilapidated that the Opportunity I spoke of might have already been destroyed."

The old Daoist sent a voice transmission to Mo Tianxiao, suddenly changing his mind about leading him to find the Opportunity.

Ji Jiuyou's words suddenly reminded him of some things. If that thing still existed here, it was definitely not something these minor Sovereign Realm experts could handle.

Boom!! "An Opportunity! I've obtained the Opportunity! It's all mine!"

Suddenly, someone finally rushed to the seemingly not-so-distant mountain peak, appearing to have obtained an Opportunity from the ruins of that dilapidated Sect.

A Disciple from the Extreme Dao Heavenly Palace stood on a massive, historic pillar, laughing maniacally with blood-red eyes and a twisted expression. "An Opportunity! A heaven-sent Opportunity! I've succeeded!"

As he spoke, that Cultivator from the Extreme Dao Heavenly Palace suddenly erupted with a powerful and strange aura. His cultivation instantly soared from the Perfection of the Upper Sovereign Realm directly to the Law Realm.

There was not even any Heavenly Tribulation.

This scene made the numerous Cultivators look over, driving them even more insane.

"Seize the Opportunity!!" Someone shouted; it was unclear who. The numerous Cultivators seemed to reach a consensus, stopping unnecessary fighting, and rushed toward the dilapidated ruins as if possessed.

Boom, boom, boom!! For some unknown reason, after stepping into the dilapidated Sect, some Cultivators instantly broke through the Bottleneck of the Sovereign Realm, stepping into the First-Tribulation Law Realm.

Moreover, these Cultivators who broke through were just like the one from the Extreme Dao Heavenly Palace who had broken through earlier: their eyes were blood-red, and their faces wore twisted expressions.

"Why didn't I break through? What is going on here?" "I feel like they are not right; why do they look like they've suffered Qi Deviation?"

Not all of the Cultivators who followed into the Sect grounds were able to break through to the Law Realm. Some broke through, while others had no reaction in their bodies.

These Cultivators who did not break through all wore puzzled expressions.

Mo Tianxiao and the other Cultivators who hadn't rushed in were also somewhat puzzled and curious. "What kind of Opportunity allows people to break through out of thin air? And why are some unable to break through?"

The old Daoist to the side frowned slightly. "Those with weak minds are easily shaken in their inner heart. Everyone who broke through to the Law Realm is either someone with unstable strength or someone nearing their end who is anxious to break through."

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao was thoughtful.

According to what the Senior Sister said before coming, whenever an ancient Secret Realm appears, many people stuck in a Bottleneck, or those nearing their end who cannot take another step forward, basically all come to give it a try.

Holding onto luck and unwillingness, they want to live longer and become stronger.

In this situation, if one's mind is not firm enough, over a long period, their mentality may become extreme, thereby breeding a Heart Demon.

Of course, some Cultivators, although also stuck in a Bottleneck, are steady and strike steadily, taking every step firmly, so their mentality naturally will not have problems.

"Die!! All of you die!!" Just at this moment, those Cultivators who had broken through to the Law Realm suddenly went mad for some reason and began attacking the surrounding Cultivators, as if they had been subjected to Possession by some unknown thing, losing their self-awareness.
