”May I ask why senior helped us, and is there a reason why senior named your pill house, Tian Ji Pill Court?” Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, Su Rou'Er braved herself and asked.

Mo Wuji turned back and said, ”Because I was the sect head of Tian Ji Sect, however, my Tian Ji Sect is in the cultivation world. Ever since I entered the Immortal World, I never heard anything of Tian Ji Sect and I always thought that there wasn't a Tian Ji Sect here. Because of that, I was actually prepared to establish a sect under the name of Tian Ji Sect.

But after I heard of the character of your Tian Ji Sect Head, I no longer have such intentions. Even if I want to establish a sect, it will be under a different name. As for this pill house, I may even rename it.”

As they heard Mo Wuji's words, Su Rou'Er and co. went into a daze. Immediately, Su Rou'Er kneeled down and said, ”Su Rou'Er pleads senior to rebuild Tian Ji Sect.”

When Bian Huiyu and Yi Lan saw Su Rou'Er kneeling, they quickly followed suit.

Mo Wuji looked at Su Rou'Er suspiciously and asked, ”Su Rou'Er, when I saved you just now, you didn't kneel. Why is it that you've already detached yourself from Tian Ji Sect but you're still kneeling to ask me to rebuild Tian Ji Sect?”

Su Rou’Er sobbed, ”Because Tian Ji Sect didn't use to be like that. In the entire Immortal World, there is only one sect that wasn't established by people, but formed naturally. That is our Tian Ji Sect.”

”What do you mean?” Mo Wuji asked.

Su Rou'Er slightly adjusted her emotions before saying, ”According to legends, when our Tian Ji Sect's first sect head, Yuan Yi, discovered Tian Ji Sect, he found a naturally formed sect stone tablet. Sect Head Yuan Yi discovered that the stone tablet was actually a Xiantian treasure. There were only two words on the stone tablet: Tian Ji.

Eventually, Sect Head Yuan Yi tried to forcefully refine the Xiantian stone tablet, but it was to no avail. In his anger, he punched the stone tablet. He never expected that this stone tablet, which he couldn't refine, would actually get shattered by his punch. After the stone tablet broke apart, it actually formed five different items.”

”What five items? Oh right, sit down first. And the two of you, also sit down properly.” After Mo Wuji asked that question, he gestured for the three of them to stop kneeling.

Su Rou'Er sat down and continued, ”There was a longsword called Tian Ji Sword, a pole made from some unknown material called Tian Ji Pole and two tokens, one black and one white. Additionally, the section of the stone tablet which inscribed the two words 'Tian Ji’ still remained. Sect Head Yuan Yi discovered that there was a map in the black and white token, but that map was too blurry and completely indiscernible.”

Mo Wuji suddenly thought of his Tian Ji Sect Head Token, didn't that white token contain a map? Could the map that he couldn't understand be the same one that Yuan Yi obtained, and it somehow entered the cultivation world? Otherwise, how would the Tian Ji Pole also have ended up with him?

”Sect Head Yuan Yi faintly felt that the item from the map wasn't simple. He spent thousands of years studying the map before he finally came to a conclusion. That was to obtain rewards, he would need to work for it. For him to clearly understand the map on the tokens, he would need to establish Tian Ji Sect. However, after he established Tian Ji Sect, the map remained blurry. Sect Head Yuan Yi did not believe that his conclusion was wrong so he passed his position as the sect head to his disciple, while he prepared a separate body to enter the cultivation world and establish a branch of Tian Ji Sect there…”

As she said this, Su Rou'Er looked at Mo Wuji and said, ”Senior is from the cultivation world's Tian Ji Sect. That should be the sect successfully established by Sect Head Yuan Yi's separate body.”

Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, ”Since that's the case, did that Sect Head Yuan Yi eventually find the place where the map led to?”

Su Rou'Er shook her head, ”During that time, he brought the white token, Tian Ji Sword and Tian Ji Pole. On the other hand, he left the black token behind as the sect head token here and it had always been passed down till now. After 10,000 years since Sect Yuan Yi left, he sent a message. Sect Head Yuan Yi said that he would die soon, and pointed out that the Tian Ji Sword and the Tian Ji Pole were the keys to opening the map.

Ever since then, we no longer received any news of Sect Head Yuan Yi, nor any information of the Tian Ji Pole and Tian Ji Sword.”

Mo Wuji knew that the Tian Ji Pole and the white token were with him, while the Tian Ji Sword was with Lei Hongji.

”You just said that Tian Ji Sect didn’t use to be like this. Then tell me about the current sect head.” Mo Wuji was now interested in the blurred map; he also felt that the map wasn’t simple. Ever since he came to the Immortal World to cultivate, he became cognizant of the importance of fate and opportunities.

Su Rou’Er caught her breath and continued, ”The current Tian Ji Sect Head is called Yuan Gu, my master was killed by him. This person didn’t even deserve to be the Tian Ji Sect Head, he only got this position by plotting against the previous sect head, Sect Head Yan Gechen.”

”Explain in detail.” Mo Wuji’s face turned serious. He was the Tian Ji Sect Head of the cultivation world. If the Tian Ji Sect Head of the Immortal World had been plotted against and had his position wrested away by someone, then Mo Wuji would no longer be courteous.

”Sect Head Yan Gechen had a forthright personality and an approachable character. However, he had many dao companions, one of his dao companions was called Yuan Feilu. Yuan Gu was Yuan Feilu’s nephew and he was brought by Yuan Feilu into Tian Ji Sect. My master told me that even though Sect Head Yan had a good disposition, he didn’t really care about the sect matters, which was why the sect became very messy. On the other hand, Yuan Feilu’s nephew Yuan Gu had exceptional talent, his cultivation rose at startling rates. Because of his relationship with Yuan Feilu, he could even gain access to the most secretive places in the sect.
