Chapter 1042: Chapter 634: The Disbanding of the Mo Sect (Part 3)

“But I’m a bit afraid of that thing, always feeling like it’s smarter than me, that one day it’ll replace us…Haha, I don’t know what I’m afraid of. If one day, a stronger species replaces us in this world…I don’t think I could accept that.”

“Oh, right, Master Turtle’s kin have come to find him, wanting him to return home.” Duomu got excited, gesturing wildly with both hands, “The Myth of the Turtle, what a gigantic turtle it is!”

“Its skin is rough, like a slab of rock, with a body half the size of Kunlun Mountain, its Turtle Shell covered with flowers and grass, arriving from the north on clouds and mist.”

“Many members of the Turtle Clan want Master Turtle to go home.”

“Master Turtle wants to develop his Pangu Brain and doesn’t want to leave here… But they said many things, seemingly wanting to spread their bloodline, deeply binding themselves to this world…There must be a deeper meaning to their actions.”

“Turtle! Turtle!” Lu Yuan shouted, feeling an inexplicable fondness for the Turtle Civilization, finding them endearing.

The Undying Giant Turtle also stretched its neck: “Wa ga ga!”

But the next moment, Duomu’s face turned gloomy again: “The war power of the Turtle Clan isn’t strong, but they excel in Divination Skill and Escape Technique, able to turn misfortune into fortune in crisis. They are an ancient race handed down through the ages.”

“Even they have started planning for the future, I fear this disaster won’t be so easily overcome. It’s more dangerous than I imagined…”

From that day on, Duomu’s life became even busier.

Leaving early and returning late every day, upgrading the “Ten Thousand Miles Mirror.”

That lid-like Extraordinary Artifact grew increasingly large, occupying the best spot atop the mountain, like a giant Mirror aimed towards the sky.

But on a certain stormy day, Duomu returned drenched, sitting blankly by the window, forgetting even to change clothes.

The Undying Giant Turtle started barking again: “Wa ga ga!”

Only then did Duomu react, beginning to feed his two pets.

A piece of fruit swallowed, warmth spreading all over. Lu Yuan and the Undying Giant Turtle lay on the ground again.

Duomu started mumbling to the two pets: “Today, Master He saw something incredible in the [Ten Thousand Miles Mirror]…”

“He actually kept vomiting blood and then passed out…The scene at the time was extremely horrifying, his veins bulging, as if he’d lost control of his Spirit.”

“After waking up, a part of his memory was missing.”

“Even he couldn’t remember what he saw.”

Lu Yuan raised his head, his own head suddenly throbbed intensely for some reason. The pain was bone-deep, as if his Soul was being torn apart.

Duomu: “The masters gathered in the main hall, discussing some matters, their expressions very serious.”

“We were all driven out, no longer allowed to upgrade the [Ten Thousand Miles Mirror]…or observe outer space.”

“What will our future be?”

“Did this plan just fail like that?”

After Duomu finished speaking, the pain came swiftly and disappeared just as quickly, leaving Lu Yuan feeling like he’d forgotten something, just eating his fruit.

He suddenly felt that the atmosphere on Floating Mountain had changed.

In the Mo Sect, some born as Myths, even in this age where Myths walked the land and Immortals were as common as dogs, were still the top figures, frequently sought out for help.

Such was the confidence of the Mo Sect, believing no challenge was insurmountable, even sending away disciples with enough gifts for a secure future.

But gradually, they grew less confident.

They became silent and worried.

The remaining disciples also became silent.

…

Time passed again…

The bloodied slaughter in the outside world continued, and eventually, one day, that disaster spread to Floating Mountain.

“A village on the mountain…the entire population has disappeared.” At this moment, Duomu, having grown into an adult yet retaining a childlike heart, spoke.

His face flushed slightly, seeming a bit angry: “Which idiot dare come here to capture people for blood sacrifice!”

“The Grand Master told me to take the [Immortal Slaying Sword] and investigate, if I meet that evil person, I’ll cut him down with a single strike!”

Only then did Lu Yuan notice the ancient long sword at his waist, with a faint hint of killing intent leaking from the scabbard, its earth-shattering power capable of tearing space!

Born as Myths, skilled at forging more Mythical Equipment, from one perspective, the Mo Sect was indeed extremely wealthy.

“It is this wealth that preserved many Sparks in this Epoch…otherwise it would probably be extinction in one age.” Lu Yuan thought to himself, “I must proceed step by step to observe more information.”

Before he could think too much, that vague feeling surged once more, turning him into a pet similar to the Undying Giant Turtle.

“Wa ga ga!” Lu Yuan and the Undying Giant Turtle cried out in unison.

“Alright, alright, here’s your food.” Duomu couldn’t help but smile, appearing kindly like an old grandpa.

Exhausted in body and mind, only when feeding his pets did he feel a sliver of Joy in his heart.

“In the next few days, I must go down the mountain. The food will be left here; eat as you wish but don’t fight over it.” he said to Lu Yuan, “Especially you, don’t bully the poor little turtle. It’s taken so many years to grow this little…sigh, you haven’t grown either. What species are you? Not growing at all?”

Lu Yuan kicked the Undying Giant Turtle, flipping it onto its back.

“Wa ga ga!” The Undying Giant Turtle instantly got angry, using its head to flip over with a ‘pop’, and the two started wrestling passionately.

“Ha, haha! The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.” Duomu laughed through his pain, and as he laughed, he began to cry.
