Chapter 413.1: If You Wipe Out That One from the Taihuang Palace, I'll Be Your Concubine!

Within the core region of the Moluo Sacred Tower, five-colored radiance shimmered in every direction, while countless cave dwellings covered the surrounding area. Inside those caves sat one Yin Spirit cultivator after another, either cultivating in seclusion or refining pills.

The closer one drew to the center, the stronger the cultivators residing within became. Those nearest to the central cave dwelling were all Mythic experts. The countless caves resembled a gigantic honeycomb. At its very center lay none other than the cave abode of Mochi.

Qi Yuan looked up at the stars overhead. "Good thing the Myriad Principle Gate isolates everything. Had Mochi merged with his Star Throne, everyone in the Moluo Clan would know he was fighting."

Unlike the Great Calamities, Mochi’s star illuminated the heavens, and he possessed his own Star Throne as well. When fighting at full strength, he could draw the power of his star into himself. His star would blaze brilliantly in the process, and any sufficiently observant Yang Spirit would notice it. Moreover, if a Yang Spirit died, his star projection would dim before ultimately vanishing into darkness. That was why Qi Yuan had deliberately reduced Mochi into a remnant soul.

Qi Yuan stopped before Mochi's cave abode. A thin membrane stretched before him, forming the core barrier of the Moluo Sacred Tower. This membrane was connected to the tower's Creation Treasure. Without permission from a Moluo Yang Spirit, no one could pass through.

Qi Yuan called Mochi out, "Grandson, hurry out. I'm here to help you fetch your quilt and toothbrush."

Naturally, he only summoned the tiniest fragment of him, merely allowing his soul to brush against the membrane. Verification complete.

Qi Yuan swaggered straight inside. "What a pity. So many good treasures got destroyed."

He no longer had time to mourn the damaged treasures. What awaited him now was Mochi's personal treasury.

"So many valuables. As expected of a White Moonlight."

Artifacts, pills, and countless precious treasures filled the place. Among them was a single medicinal pill that, if revealed within the Moluo Sacred Tower, would drive every cultivator there into a murderous frenzy. Qi Yuan, however, paid little attention to such things. He rarely depended on external aids like pills. His cultivation relied solely on his own hard work and intellect.

His eyes lit up. "Excellent. Several dozen Divine Methods. That is equivalent to several dozen Star Golden Cores."

What he cared about most were cultivation techniques.

"How wonderful. My White Moonlight is rich." Qi Yuan sighed, "What a shame. If only my White Moonlight loved me enough to hand everything over willingly."

The Land of Buddha had been extremely generous, gathering every Divine Method and handing them directly to him. Still, he understood. A White Moonlight was called that precisely because it was someone one could love but never truly possess. If his White Moonlight loved him back and voluntarily gave him all their techniques, how could he possibly bring himself to kill them? He would feel guilty doing so.

"The only drawback is that two of these Divine Methods overlap with what the Land of Buddha already gave me." After sweeping away every cultivation technique, Qi Yuan's gaze landed upon one corner. His eyes brightened once again. "Heaven-Piercing Jade!"

[Heaven-Piercing Jade. Capable of breaking through dimensional barriers and ascending to the Nine Heavens.]

Five pieces of Heaven-Piercing Jade landed in Qi Yuan's hands, and delight appeared in his eyes. "I can finally ascend."

He’d obtained five in one go, whereas working for ten thousand years in the Black Demon Abyss would earn someone a single piece.

"Still, I can't ascend immediately."

Ascending through the Moluo Sacred Tower would bring him directly into the Demon Abyss. A stranger suddenly appearing in the upper world would undoubtedly attract attention from every direction. As an illegal immigrant, it was far too dangerous.

His gaze fell upon an official order, his eyes growing profound. "Fortunately, I have this."

It was an appointment issued by the Moluo Clan Council of Elders, ordering Heavenly Venerable Mochi to report to the Upper World for duty.

The Moluo Clan was currently at war with the Divine Moon Palace. Nearly twenty Moluo Yang Spirits were stationed there. That already represented nearly one-third of the race's total strength.

"In one month's time, I'll ascend under Heavenly Venerable Mochi's identity and continue baiting fish up there. But before that, I need to catch as many fish as possible down here."

Qi Yuan's identity was now extremely sensitive. If his whereabouts were exposed, the Taihuang Palace Master would probably descend to eliminate him. Since he had no clear understanding of just how powerful a Major Principle Yang Spirit truly was, he lacked the confidence to confront him head-on. Keeping a low profile remained the wiser choice.

Then, his eyes landed upon a paper invitation, curiosity surfacing within them. "An invitation to the Principle Symposium?"

A flood of information immediately poured into his mind. "So every Yang Spirit is allowed to attend? Can a mere Violet Palace cultivator like me sneak in for the fun of it? It doesn't seem to explicitly forbid Violet Palace cultivators from attending."

Qi Yuan found the Principle Symposium rather interesting. As its name suggested, it was a gathering where all Yang Spirits exchanged insights into the dao.

Peak Major Heavenly Position Yang Spirits would sit before the Principle Wall, comprehending their own dao in hopes of attaining Principle realm. Principle experts could likewise deepen their understanding there and attempt to break through into the Major Principle realm.

Naturally, that was only the ideal scenario. Such breakthroughs were extraordinarily difficult. Otherwise, the cultivation world would not have gone so many years without producing another Major Principle expert.

In fact, the Great Sun Bright Buddha had been the last one. Unfortunately, he had perished immediately after attaining that realm. That incident had also caused the Principle Society to harbor deep resentment toward the Taihuang Palace.

"Why does the society only invite Yang Spirits and not Violet Palace cultivators? Do Violet Palace cultivators not deserve to comprehend the Principle realm? Haa... Such prejudice."

Nothing in reality actually stated that Violet Palace cultivators were incapable of comprehending the Principle realm. Now that he had an invitation, he decided that if time allowed, he would go take a look and see whether he could comprehend a Principle realm or two.

After thoroughly looting the cave abode, Qi Yuan left behind an inflatable doll disguised as Mochi before disappearing. "Alright. Time to continue laying bait and fishing."

The fishing still had to continue. With so many White Moonlights waiting for him, how could he let them go to waste? There was only one month left. He had to hurry.
