Chapter 890: The Odd God Spiritual Energy
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
From the outside, the Heavenly Mortal Sect looked as though they only had two mountains and nothing else. However, after Mo Wuji entered the sect itself, he could sense how extraordinary this sect used to be.
After entering the defensive array, a few metres wide green jade stairs extended to the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the summit were all sorts of immortal residences and rest houses built on it. If it weren’t for the fact that these were the only two mountains around, this sect would definitely have the aura of a powerful sect.
The only point that wasn’t coordinated was the slightly dilapidated green jade stairs. Moreover, the god spiritual energy here was extremely sparse to the point that was even worse than an ordinary city of the Cultivation World.
There was a true plaza at the foot of the mountain and in the centre of the plaza was a towering statue. The statue looked slightly broken as if it had been through endless of hardships.
”Mo Wuji, the eyes of this statue looked slightly like yours,” Yin Lin suddenly mentioned.
Mo Wuji had already noticed the pair of eyes on this statue and indeed felt that it looked like his.
Before Mo Wuji could speak, a middle-aged man in grey robe had already brought four people as they walked speedily down the green jade stairs.
Mo Wuji couldn’t tell this middle-aged man but he could feel the tremendous strength of this man. In fact, Mo Wuji suspected that he might be even stronger than Xi Jing.
”Wei Jie (Su Xia) greets the Sect Head!” Wei Jie and Su Xia, who were leading the way, hurried to bow to show their respect as they saw this middle-aged man walking down.
Mo Wuji and co. were shocked because they didn’t expect the sect head to be out here to welcome the few newcomers like themselves. Wasn’t such a thing unseen or unheard of since ancient times?
The middle-aged man laughed out loud as he hurried to take a few more steps forward to hold Wei Jie back up. ”It must have been tough of Elder Wei Jie and Su Xia to be recruiting disciples this time around.”
Wei Jie replied with a guilty face. ”I’ve let Sect Head down because I’ve only managed to find six new disciples this time around.”
The middle-aged man said. ”Elder Wei Jie, as compared to the previous few attempts where we didn’t even manage to recruit a single disciple, six is much better than nothing.”
”This is the sect head of our Heavenly Mortal Sect. Why are the few of you still standing around and not greeting our Sect Head?” Wei Jie turned and shouted at Mo Wuji and co.”
Mo Wuji followed the rest of the disciples as everyone bowed in sync.
The middle-aged man waved his hand as he said with a bright smile on his face. ”My name is Shi Su and I am the Sect Head of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. These people beside me are the Heavenly Mortal Sect’s Elder Pang Fengban, Elder Xu Yi, Elder Hui Yu and Elder Niu Zhitian respectively. In the Heavenly Mortal Sect, we're one big family. Therefore, if you have any questions regarding cultivation, you are free to ask any of us.”
”Many thanks, Sect Head!” Even though Mo Wuji and co. had no idea what was going on, they harmonized their gratitude perfectly.
To welcome the few newly recruited disciples, the sect head brought the elders down to greet them. Additionally, he even mentioned that they could ask any of the elders and sect head himself if they had any questions in the future. This was simply a treatment received by the number one disciples of a sect.
”Su Xia, I have to trouble you to help arrange the residences of these newly recruited disciples before briefing them about some matters of the sect. Elder Wei Jie, you’ve worked hard this time around. Do head towards the sect’s Cultivation Holyland to cultivate for half a year.” Shi Su was still smiling and it almost felt like he was incredibly ecstatic to have recruited six new disciples.
”Many thanks, Sect Head.” Wei Jie smiled as he hurried straight up the green jade stairs and disappeared right before the sect head’s eyes.
Mo Wuji was slightly speechless because this sect head really didn’t feel like the sect head while the elders didn’t feel like elders of any other sects. He started to wonder if he was actually kidnapped by these random people.
Could it be that these fellas were like Zhu Yin, who liked to swallow cultivator’s primordial spirit and soul to cultivate? However, the few of them were unwanted disciples so even if the sect swallowed their primordial spirits, it shouldn’t be much of a use or benefit to them.
After Sect Head Shi Su left with the few elders, Mo Wuji whispered, ”Senior Sister Su Xia, how many members are in our sect?”
Ever since they arrived here, Mo Wuji hadn’t really seen anyone else except the sect head and the few elders he brought along.
”Including the few of you, I believe we should be reaching about 100 members now.” Su Xia replied with a smile.
Mo Wuji and co. were instantly at loss for words. How wretched must a sect be to have less than a hundred members?
Su Xia knew how everyone felt upon hearing that so she didn’t continue to say anything else. The truth was that when she first joined the Heavenly Mortal Sect, she felt even worse than Mo Wuji and co. presently. Back then, the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn’t even have 50 members. Over the years, they managed to increase by multiples of tens. If she were to compare it with the past, the Heavenly Mortal Sect’s progress was actually pretty decent.
”Sister Su Xia, the Heavenly Mortal Sect does look very imposing and I’m certain that it must have been a huge sect in the past. How did it fall to a state like today’s? Yin Lin disrupted the awkward silence in the air.
Su Xia explained, ”I’ve heard that the Heavenly Mortal Sect used to be one of the peak grade sects. In fact, it was even greater than Phecda God Sect as well as the Forgotten Creek Dao School. For some unknown reason, a change occurred and amidst the change, the Heavenly Mortal Sect suffered tremendous losses and almost our entire army fell. The many mountains of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were eventually shifted away by others.
