Chapter 721: A Powerful Early-Stage Immortal Venerable

Mo Wuji grabbed a few pills and fed them into Su Zian's mouth, his expression very grim. To be more precise, Su Zian hadn't escaped on his own; he had been sent back.

He was sent back by a Celestial King under the command of Zhuo Ping'an. After delivering Su Zian, the Celestial King left immediately, not staying at all.

At the moment, Su Zian's injuries were severe. Not only was his sea of consciousness damaged, but even his primordial spirit was injured. It could be said that if Mo Wuji didn't have the Supreme Azure Pill, Su Zian's injuries might have truly crippled him.

The powerful effect of the Supreme Azure Pill quickly became apparent. Su Zian's primordial spirit began to coalesce, and he felt relieved when he opened his eyes and saw Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved his hand, signaling him to focus on healing first.

Two hours later, a pale-faced Su Zian emerged from the room.

"How are your injuries now?" Mo Wuji didn't use his spiritual will to scan Su Zian.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for using such precious immortal pills. With some more time for recuperation, my injuries should disappear," Su Zian said respectfully.

He knew his own injuries best. If he hadn't joined Peaceful Brahma and been under Sect Leader Mo's care, his injuries would have been difficult to recover from. Even if he found top-grade immortal materials, it wouldn't be a matter of days, but perhaps tens of thousands, or even millions, of years.

He was a late-stage Celestial Reverent, not immortal, and he also had lifespan limitations. Perhaps one day, his lifespan would run out before his injuries were healed.

Mo Wuji nodded and said, "You've worked hard on this trip. With your strength as a late-stage Celestial Reverent, how did you get injured? Who did it?"

Mo Wuji was certain that Zhuo Ping'an hadn't been the one to strike. He and Zhuo Ping'an had a decent relationship, and he had always been supportive of Zhuo Ping'an. If anything, Zhuo Ping'an owed him. Zhuo Ping'an wouldn't want to leave Peaceful Corner, nor would he injure Su Zian. Besides, if Zhuo Ping'an had attacked, Su Zian wouldn't have returned with heavy injuries, but without his life.

As for Su Zian offending Zhuo Ping'an with disrespectful words, Mo Wuji didn't believe it even more. Among the experts under him, Su Zian was the most mature and steady, and would never do something like provoking a Grand Celestial Emperor like Zhuo Ping'an.

"Peaceful Corner has been wiped out; it's now a ruin. I was planning to go in and take a look when I encountered a Celestial Reverent in the early stage..."

"Wait..." Mo Wuji raised his hand, stopping Su Zian's words. "You're not saying you were seriously injured by that early-stage Celestial Reverent?"

Su Zian's face showed a look of shame, but he nodded. "I was indeed severely injured by him, and I'm certain that he hasn't been at the early stage of Celestial Reverent for long. Although my strength is average in the Immortal World, I know quite a few powerful Celestial Reverents, and I've never seen that person before."

Mo Wuji's face showed a serious expression. He hadn't seen Su Zian's strength, but Su Zian was a late-stage Celestial Reverent who had been tempered in the Sword Prison for so many years. Yet, he was inferior to an early-stage Celestial Reverent, and was even severely injured to the point of almost dying. How terrifying was this early-stage Celestial Reverent?

"Describe that person's appearance in detail, as clearly as possible," Mo Wuji said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Su Zian pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and drew a portrait in the void.

It was a man who didn't look very old, of medium height, with a sallow complexion. He wore straw sandals and coarse linen clothes, with sharp eyes, and carried a sheathless sword on his back.

"So it's him." A sense of urgency suddenly arose in Mo Wuji. He needed to rush into the Celestial King realm as soon as possible. Unfortunately, even though he was a perfected Grand Luo Immortal, had countless immortal pills, and had even created his own inheritance, his foundation was still too weak. He couldn't touch the Celestial King realm. Otherwise, he would rather advance to Celestial King first, and then establish Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect.

"Sect Leader, do you know this person?" Su Zian asked quickly.

When the Great Sword Dao was destroyed, Huang Sha hadn't taken action. Moreover, Huang Sha's cultivation had progressed rapidly, advancing from a newly ascended immortal to a Celestial Reverent in a short period of time.

Mo Wuji nodded. "It's normal that you don't recognize this person. His name is Huang Sha, from the Great Sword Dao. He hasn't been rising in the Immortal World for long. He's extremely bloodthirsty and very powerful."

"Another one from the Great Sword Dao. I'll go kill him," Wei Zidao said coldly, his killing intent surging.

Mo Wuji said, "The destruction of Peaceful Corner is likely related to the Great Sword Dao. This Huang Sha is extremely cunning. Even if Right Protector Wei goes, he might not be able to see him. He won't fight Right Protector Wei. When he appears, it will mean that Right Protector Wei is surrounded by the Celestial Emperors of the Great Sword Dao. Revenge should be taken, but not now."

"Has the Sect Leader met this person?" Wei Zidao asked.

Mo Wuji was too familiar with Huang Sha. He had tried to kill him in the Gods Tower, but was blocked by Ling Lunan. Speaking of which, he still owed Ling Lunan a favor. Unfortunately, Ling Lunan was trapped in the Gods Tower, his fate unknown.

"Yes, his master Sa Jian and his junior brother Ni Ju were both killed by me. So this person wants to kill me at all times," Mo Wuji said.

"Ah..." Su Zian was stunned, then bowed to Mo Wuji again. "Thank you, Sect Leader, for avenging the Heavenly Machine Sect."

Su Zian certainly knew who had destroyed the Heavenly Machine Sect. If Sa Jian hadn't requested a quasi-Emperor of the Great Sword Dao to take action, how could he have been sent into the Sword Prison?

Mo Wuji waved his hand. "Elder Su doesn't need to be polite with me. I was originally the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect in the cultivation world. It was only after arriving in the Immortal World that I wanted to establish Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect, which includes the former Heavenly Machine Sect."

Su Zian was immediately stunned. After a while, he bowed again in pleasant surprise and said, "Zian greets the Sect Leader. Please, Sect Leader, uphold justice for the Heavenly Machine Sect."

Originally, Su Zian didn't dare to say much about the Heavenly Machine Sect. Now that he knew Mo Wuji was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect, he naturally wouldn't have any more concerns. His most urgent desire was to rebuild the Heavenly Machine Sect, not to establish the Heavenly Machine Sect within Peaceful Brahma, as Mo Wuji had said.

Mo Wuji sighed, "Elder Zian, I understand what you mean. Actually, in the beginning, I was planning to rebuild the Heavenly Machine Sect in the Immortal World. But after I stepped into a new realm, my thoughts suddenly changed. I wanted to establish an even larger sect..."

"Sect Leader, the Heavenly Machine Sect can also be established on a larger scale," Su Zian said quickly.

Mo Wuji waved his hand, signaling Su Zian not to speak for the time being. He continued, "Before, there was just an urgent desire not to rebuild the Heavenly Machine Sect, and even to create a sect with my own inheritance from beginning to end. At that time, I hadn't completely comprehended it yet. You should know that after I decided on something, I rarely wavered. Only in the establishment of this sect did I waver. Before, I thought it was because of my own reasons, until after I was seriously injured and reborn again, I gradually understood the meaning of it."

"What is it?" Su Zian asked subconsciously.

"After I was seriously injured and almost died, and then perfected my own Dao again, I vaguely began to understand that the Heavenly Machine Sect should not become an Immortal Sect. We have not yet transcended this world, and are still sensing the Dao of rules under the rules of this world. All of this can also be said to be a kind of heavenly secret. It is ridiculous to rashly establish the Heavenly Machine Sect. So as long as we have not yet transcended this world, and are still sensing the rules in this world, the Heavenly Machine Sect is destined to collapse."

Mo Wuji's tone was very low. He also slowly understood this principle. In the beginning, he was very eager to establish the Heavenly Machine Sect. Later, his Dao gradually improved, and he began to resist establishing the Heavenly Machine Sect, even finding many reasons for himself. Until now, he was about to step into the Celestial King realm, and his Dao was gradually improving, that he vaguely understood the meaning of the Great Dao.

Why was the Heavenly Machine Sect in the cultivation world becoming more and more declining, and finally destroyed? After arriving in the Immortal World, the Heavenly Machine Sect was still becoming more and more declining, and finally destroyed? It was as if there was a kind of Dao thought in the dark, making it impossible for the Heavenly Machine Sect to exist.

"But the Heavenly Machine Tablet discovered by the first Sect Leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect, Yuan Yi..."

Before Su Zian could finish speaking, Mo Wuji said, "Perhaps that tablet was not meant for Sect Leader Yuan Yi to establish a sect, but had another meaning."

Su Zian also fell silent. What Sect Leader Mo said could not be said to be wrong. The Heavenly Machine Sect seemed to have started to decline since its establishment. Sect Leader Yuan Yi had not broken the secret of heavenly secrets in the end.

"After Peaceful Brahma is established, the Heavenly Machine Sect will occupy a peak within the Peaceful Brahma Sect, renamed Heavenly Peak," Mo Wuji said, sensing Su Zian's loss.

He couldn't continue to persuade him, but just said, "I will immediately seize the time to set up the outer protective array of Peaceful Brahma, and then I will go out for a trip. The establishment of Peaceful Brahma will be the responsibility of Right Protector Wei. After Elder Zian's injuries have recovered, assist Right Protector Wei and Lu Ming in establishing Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect."

"Since the Sect Leader is going out, why not let Jian Mingcheng accompany you?" Wei Zidao felt that Mo Wuji was going out to find an opportunity to advance to Celestial King. He wanted Jian Mingcheng to accompany Mo Wuji, so that he could be a protector.

Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "I want to look for opportunities to advance to Celestial King. Mingcheng is very busy now, and cannot delay the sect's time to build the sect because of me."

Mo Wuji vaguely felt that the establishment of this Peaceful Brahma Sect had a very significant meaning for him. As for the specific meaning, he couldn't say.

"Sect Leader, you want to find an opportunity to advance to Celestial King, I'll give you something." Su Zian heard that Mo Wuji was going out to find an opportunity to advance to Celestial King, he quickly took out a jade slip and began to inscribe it.

Half an incense stick later, Su Zian handed the jade slip to Mo Wuji. "Sect Leader, what you said should be right. The Heavenly Machine Sect no longer exists, and only Peaceful Brahma will exist in the future."

Mo Wuji nodded and took the jade slip. He was very happy that Su Zian could think clearly about this matter. His spiritual will penetrated into the jade slip, and then he was stunned, looking at Su Zian in shock.

"How did you know?" Mo Wuji asked Su Zian in disbelief, because the jade slip Su Zian gave him actually had a map inscribed on it. The explanation on the map was that this area was likely the location of the vague white sect master token. (Friends who have forgotten can refer to chapter 540.)

"This was left behind after the founding ancestor fell. Only a few people in the Heavenly Machine Sect know about it. Each generation will not pass it on to more than three people," Su Zian explained.

Mo Wuji understood. Su Zian's strength was likely one of the best in the Heavenly Machine Sect. It was normal for him to know this information.
