The Star River Sect had been going straight downhill since the disappearance of the old ancestor Star River. Later on, it even dropped from a first-cla*s top sect to a second-cla*s sect.
The reason for the decline of the Star River Sect, not to mention the people of the Star River Sect, was clear to the people of the rest of the sects, and that was that when the Star River Old Ancestor disappeared, what followed was the Star River Skill cultivation technique above the Yuan-Soul realm.
It was because of the lack of Star River Skill cultivation techniques above the Elemental Soul that the Star River Sect fell into disarray.
A few years ago, the outer disciple of the Xinghe Sect, Di Jiu, had offended the Qi Family’s merchant house and was beaten up by the Qi Family’s powerful Yuan Soul practitioner, Qi Zhi Huan, who finally expelled the outer disciple, Di Jiu, and Geng Jihua, and deprived the sect leader, Xiang Tian Yi, who was the most progressive sect leader of the Xinghe Sect in recent years, so the Xinghe Sect was even more in decline.
It was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before the Star River Sect would become a true third-rate sect without the need for the Qi Family Merchant House to come here.
As Jing Moshuang stood outside the Xinghe Sect’s gate, she could clearly feel that the sect was much colder than when she left.
She didn’t have any friends in the Star River Sect, and there were even two people who coveted her Star River Pearl. But she had to come back, her cultivation had progressed too quickly, in just a few years she had come to Qi cultivation perfection. As long as she wanted to, she could build her foundation whenever she wanted.
Once she crossed into the Foundation Establishment realm, she would need the cultivation techniques for the successor to the Star River Skill, but she simply did not have these.
Looking at the Star River Sect, which was even more depressed than it had been a few years ago, Jing Moshuang took a deep breath as she decided to cross over to the Foundation Establishment stage at the Star River Sect and then get a cultivation technique for the Foundation Establishment stage. After the Foundation Establishment cultivation method was in hand, she immediately left the Star River School.
Having the Star River Pearl, she realised that there could only be at most one person in the Star River Sect who could cultivate the Star River Skill by opening up the Star River Veins. Without the Star River Pearl, it was simply impossible to open up the Star River Veins.
The Star River Old Ancestor’s Star River Pearl had been obtained by her back then, which meant that she was the only one in the Star River Sect who could cultivate by opening up the Star River Veins.
Because it was the way to open up the Star River Veins to cultivate the Star River Skill, even if she was not in the sect, her speed of cultivation would not be too slow. As for that Ouyang Tao, even if her cultivation speed was even faster. In just a few short years, it was impossible to be higher than her cultivation level.
She had been fighting in the Raging Wind Valley all these years, so at least she would not lose to Ouyang Tao. Anyway, she would leave as soon as she got the cultivation method for the Foundation Establishment Stage of the Star River Skill, and would not cross paths with people like Ouyang Tao again.
What else was there here that she should care about apart from the Star River Skill?
A slightly blurred figure popped into her mind, a man who had been married to her. This seemed like an interesting person, caught stealing from the Zhong family and being used by Zhong He Tian of the Zhong family to marry her. It was amazing that the guy was so nervous in this situation that he wasn’t half worried.
You have to know that such a person is killed at any time and there is no one to ask about it. Not only did this man not have half a worry, he even wished to go with himself to Silent River City to ascend to the Immortal Gate.
Unfortunately, his spiritual roots were very poor, but he was a very persistent fellow. After being rejected by one immortal gate after another for such poor spiritual roots, he still ran from one gate to another. I really didn’t know what Elder Yu had seen in him and that big guy at that time, and had recruited both of them into the Star River Sect.
Anyway, she wouldn’t believe that Elder Yu had recruited Di Jiu and Geng Jiehua because of her face.
Now that three years have pa*sed, I wonder if that Di Jiu has crossed the fourth level of Qi training, if not, I’m afraid he is no longer in the Xinghe Sect, right?
A miscellaneous disciple at the early stage of Qi cultivation hurriedly walked over, and Jing Moshuang didn’t know out of what psychology she actually stopped the miscellaneous disciple.
“…… This senior sister, I wonder what I can do to help you.” Even though Jing Moshuang looked ugly, Jing Moshuang’s strength was clearly higher than his, and this handyman disciple hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Jing Moshuang said, “I’m an outer disciple of the Star River Sect, and I’ve only returned after taking up a long-term mission from the sect. Let me inquire, do you know where the outer disciple Di Jiu’s is?
The general miscellaneous disciples have some impression of the outer disciples.
Hearing Jing Moshuang ask about Di Jiu, this odd-job disciple waved his hand in panic and said, “I don’t know, senior sister can go outside the sect and read the notice, I’m leaving.”
With just one sentence, the servant disciple hurriedly walked away.
Jing Moshuang was confused, Di Jiu was just an outer disciple, what was so taboo about it?
She also quickened her pace, and before she could reach the entrance of the sect, she saw a huge notice board. It was as if the notice board was afraid that people wouldn’t know about it, not only was it big but it was also conspicuous.
“Star River Sect disciples Di Jiu and Geng Jihua disregarded the bottom line of morality and brutalized fellow disciples Ouyang Tao and Qiao Sa for a mere few spirit stones. After investigation by the sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, the following punishment has been handed down: Di Jiu and Geng Hanhua are stripped of their status as outer disciples of the Xinghe Sect and are expelled from the sect. At the same time, a sect wanted notice is issued, any Star River Sect disciple can report news of these two disciples’ hideouts to the sect ……”
Jing Moshuang’s gaze fell on the date when Di Jiu and Ouyang Tao killed Ouyang Tao at the back, and a buzzing inside her head. Wasn’t that day the day she escaped from the sect?
Initially, she thought that Raging Wind Valley was the safest. Because she had escaped from the clan, Ouyang Tao would definitely not expect her to go to Raging Wind Valley.
As her cultivation level increased and she saw more, she realised how naive her thoughts were at first. There was nothing wrong with her strategy of hiding in the Raging Wind Valley, what was problematic was that she did not know that the storage bag had a divine thought imprint on it. It was only after she stripped the pouch of the divine thought mark that she began to wonder why Ouyang Tao and Qiao Sha hadn’t followed the divine thought mark to catch her.
It wasn’t until today that she finally understood why she was fine, because these two guys had been killed by Di Jiu.
Jing Moshuang had been fighting outside for several years by herself and would never believe that this was a coincidence. It must be that Di Jiu knew the reason for this and that’s why he followed Ouyang Tao and killed him when he was chasing him.
Di Jiu should have purely helped her, this was a person who knew how to repay her for her kindness. It was also the only person she had ever known before who knew how to repay her kindness.
What she could not understand was how Di Jiu could know the reason for this. And why was Di Jiu able to kill Ouyang Tao?
Both Di Jiu and that Geng Jiehua were originally not wanted by the clan, their spiritual root qualifications must have been very poor, besides when he killed Ouyang Tao, it had only been a few days since he had entered the clan. At that time, Ouyang Tao should have been in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, or even the late stage of Qi cultivation.
Even with her current strength, it would take some effort to kill Ouyang Tao, not to mention Di Jiu who had not yet cultivated at that time.
It looked like there were many more twists and turns behind this incident, and these twists and turns were between Di Jiu and Ouyang Tao.
She was a sensual person who had never received such kindnesses or been cared for except after being brought into this world by her parents. At this moment, she suddenly had an urge in her heart to help Di Jiu and Geng Jiehua, and not to let them be captured back by the clan.
……
The rules of the Star River Sect were that as long as there was no news of a disciple’s confirmed death, the outer disciple’s residence could be kept for three years, and the inner disciple’s residence could be kept for ten years. The outer disciple’s residence is retained for three years, that is excluding the time spent going out on missions.
Jing Moshuang had taken up a mission for over a year, and with three years added, her residence would need to be kept for four years.
At this moment, when Jing Moshuang returned to her own residence, her place was still there.
The first thing Jing Moshuang did when she returned to her cave was to think of a way to build her foundation. After she had built her foundation, she could upgrade to an inner disciple and then go to the Hall of Kung Fu to find a cultivation technique for the foundation building stage.
Originally, Jing Moshuang was prepared to leave once she had built her foundation and obtained the gongfa, but now she had to go and help Di Jiu and Geng Zhifa.
After simply setting up a defence array outside her place, Jing Moshuang took out all her spirit stones and she was ready to begin her journey to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Without the Foundation Establishment Pill Jing Moshuang wasn’t worried, she cultivated the Star River Skill by opening up the Star River Veins. When she had first obtained the Star River Pearl, there was a leather scroll next to it, and according to the introduction on the leather scroll, cultivators who opened up their Star River Veins through the Star River Pearl did not need a Foundation Establishment Pill to build their foundation at all.
As soon as the Star River Skill began to run, the Star River Pearl in Jing Moshuang’s dantian transformed into a bright star river, compared to the illusory star river formed by the Geng Halberd Flower, Jing Moshuang’s star river was just as substantial.
“Boom!” In just three weeks, the barrier between Jing Moshuang’s Qi training stage was broken open, and then his Qi continued to climb, his true essence began to rise, and then he easily crossed into the Foundation Establishment stage.
“Is this someone who has built the foundation?” Wo Chuang of the Star River Sect’s Star Peak suddenly stood up.
As the new patriarch of the Star River Sect, he had not moved to Xiang Tian Yi’s Star River Peak, even though Xiang Tian Yi had left the Star River Sect, he still had not moved there.
Since Xiang Tian Yi had left the Xinghe Sect, it was not known how long it had been since anyone had built a foundation in the Xinghe Sect. Because of this, a little disciple’s foundation building had alarmed him as the sect master.
