Lin Mo looked at Xia Mengdie's shy and charming appearance, and directly buried his head in her black hair. Xia Mengdie closed her eyes, her long eyelashes gently trembling, as the beating of her heart grew faster. In recent days, Yang Chuxue had subtly asked if the two had plans to have children. Xia Mengdie felt somewhat helpless because, due to her physical condition, Lin Mo could not consummate their marriage, and she was unable to leave descendants for the Lin Family. This made her feel a lingering sense of guilt towards Lin Mo, Yang Chuxue, and Lin Guang.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
After a long while, the two separated. Xia Mengdie's pretty cheeks were flushed with a layer of rosy blush, incredibly shy, as she leaned lightly against Lin Mo's side. The two sat on a stone, quietly watching the sky.
Lin Mo casually waved his hand, and streaks of flowing light danced in the air, various strange flowers bloomed, and a golden phoenix soared across the sky, finally turning into a cluster of brilliant fireworks.
"New Year's Eve is almost here." Xia Mengdie glanced over, her clear eyes calmly looking at Lin Mo.
"Hmm?" Lin Mo felt a bit uncomfortable.
Because of Xia Mengdie, Lin Mo had rejected the admiration of many women, but Sima Zining
Lin Mo smiled slightly, not finishing his sentence, and stared blankly at the white clouds in the sky, while inwardly vowing: "I will guard your smile!"
In the Elder Hall.
Cheng Ying, Qiu Xingjian, and Dong Xiangyun, three elders of the Star Sect, were sitting in the elder room.
"Did any of you just feel that the Sect Leader's strength seemed" Qiu Xingjian stroked his long beard, hesitating to complete his thought.
"Are you trying to say the Sect Leader's strength has improved again?" Cheng Ying asked.
Dong Xiangyun nodded and said, "The Sect Leader's aura is restrained and increasingly impenetrable. Has he possibly surpassed innate existence?"
"There's that possibility, and no one will dare bully our Star Sect anymore!"
After nightfall.
Lin Mo happily ate a meal with his family, and Yang Chuxue chatted with him, mostly talking about wanting grandchildren. Lin Mo was quite helpless, as in the Cultivation World, everyone's lifespan is measured in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so who would be in such a hurry to have children?
After comforting his mother, Lin Mo quickly excused himself and left, arriving at the door of the Sect Leader Hall.
The Sect Leader Hall, located in the southernmost direction, is the tallest and most majestic building in the Star Sect, with classical wood-style architecture. Bright lights illuminate the entire palace in every detail.
Lin Mo took a step, spanning a hundred meters, and slipped into the palace, sitting at the highest seat.
Dong Xiangyun, Cheng Ying, and Qiu Xingjian had not yet reacted, seeing a dark figure seated at the Sect Leader's position. As the blurred shadow condensed, they saw Lin Mo's appearance, their eyes widening with some shock.
"Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader."
The three stood up, respectfully addressing him.
Besides the three elders of the Star Sect, there were twenty more elite disciples within the Star Sect, though they did not qualify to sit, standing in the hall respectfully bowing: "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
"Hmm."
Lin Mo gently responded, looking at Cheng Ying and asking: "Have all the elite disciples of the sect arrived?"
"Replying to the Sect Leader, the elite disciples within the Star Sect have arrived," Cheng Ying replied with a cupped hand salute.
"Very well, everyone sit down."
Lin Mo said indifferently.
"Thank you, Sect Leader." Cheng Ying took a seat.
Lin Mo's gaze swept over these disciples, totaling one hundred and fifty, including Outer Disciples, with twenty elite disciples. Apart from the three elders, among the elite disciples, only two had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the strongest of whom was Xiao Haiyang. Such a group is already very strong on Earth, but on a Cultivation Planet, it doesn't even qualify to form a sect. It's important to know that even the smallest sect requires founders at the Golden Core Stage cultivation level to be recognized by the Cultivation Alliance. Otherwise, it is akin to a private school on Earth, unprotected and unrecognized, yet also unstoppable.
Suddenly, a subtle trace of innate strong people's aura flowed from Lin Mo's body, the powerful aura spreading. Even the three Foundation Establishment Stage elders couldn't help but release Spiritual Energy to resist.
As for the elite disciples standing in the hall, clearly unable to withstand the aura of an innate strong person, they fell to their knees one by one.
The disciples showed difficulty on their faces, sweat beading from their foreheads, their bones seemingly creaking under the immense pressure.
Only two remained standing, struggling bitterly to maintain their stance. Even so, these two seemed to be exerting all their strength, trembling as if sieving, their fists clenched tightly, knuckles showing white from exertion.
"Thud!"
One young man finally couldn't bear it anymore, falling to his knees with a thud.
Now, only the last young man was still struggling to stand, veins bulging on his forehead, eyes flashing with tenacious light.
The other kneeling disciples looked at this young man standing strong against the powerful aura, showing a hint of admiration.
"Not bad."
Lin Mo said calmly, though his facial expression showed little change.
As he finished speaking, the aura that originally flooded the hall like seawater surged crazily towards the only standing young man.
The young man, already bearing his utmost weight, was hit by the surging aura, causing his whole body to emit intense sounds, spewing a mouthful of blood and falling to his knees, eyes filled with unwillingness and hatred.
"Haiyang."
"Senior Brother Haiyang."
"Disciple."
The faces of Cheng Ying and the other elders changed dramatically, as did the other disciples.
"Good."
Lin Mo stood up, full of intent as he approached the last kneeling disciple, a smile appearing on his face.
This disciple was none other than the genius youth of the Star Sect, Xiao Haiyang, who had previously secretly competed with Lin Mo, but now
Lin Mo had become the Sect Leader, and merely a trace of his aura had defeated him completely.
"Hate!"
Qiao Haiyang bit his bloodied lip, forcefully clenched his fist.
"Do you think I did this to embarrass you?" Lin Mo gazed down at him, "I just want you to know, you're too weak. Not just you, I'm very weak too."
This statement brought the entire hall to a dead silence. Xiao Haiyang raised his head, looked incredulously at Lin Mo. Lin Mo's strength had reached such a level, yet he claimed to be weak?
In the Star Sect, amidst the numerous black night buildings, inside a hall emitting faint light.
The three elders and many elite disciples looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. Lin Mo's strength had reached such a realm, yet he claimed his strength was still weak, then what truly is a strong person?
"True strong people, they pluck stars and catch the moon, swallow the sun whole, and with one will, can destroy a planet. They roam the Universe with long lifespans," Lin Mo said word by word, each striking like a heavy drum on the hearts of Star Sect elites.
Whether the three elders or genius like Xiao Haiyang felt some difficulty breathing, at least Lin Mo wouldn't lie to deceive them.
