"The Spiritual Farmers here created it spontaneously?"

Qiao Mu was slightly puzzled, and his previously furrowed brow softened a bit.

If it’s just a clay figurine, then it’s not a big deal.

He looked around and saw a clay statue holding a huge rock, with an incense burner and three cushions in front of it.

There were more than ten burnt incense sticks in the incense burner, and ashes covered the bottom of the burner.

"So what is this?" Qiao Mu asked again, turning calmly.

He could tell that this stone pit had turned into a simple small temple.

Although very simple, without even a temple gate, there were statues, incense burners, and cushions all available.

As he looked back, he noticed some ordinary people like a spiritual farmer approaching in the distance.

Some spiritual farmers even brought incense and paper in their hands, clearly here to pay their respects.

Lingling Taoist Priest began to realize something was wrong, hesitated for a moment, and then explained:

"Mr. Qiao also knows that these spiritual farmers from Qingming Medicine Valley are devoted followers who come from different places in Nan Province."

"Since the assassination of Emperor Yonghe and the chaos spreading across Jiu Province, the uprising kings were actually just like Southern King Wang Songhe, waving flags to overthrow the local Immortal Gate and establish a new doctrine."

"For the past forty years, the people have embraced the rituals of worshipping immortals." Qiao Canxue spoke up:

"Changing this now might not be a quick task."

Qiao Mu stayed silent.

At that moment, the distant Spiritual Farmers were approaching.

Among them were a middle-aged man and a young man, bearing a resemblance to each other, appearing to be father and son. The son seemed youthful in appearance but grown in stature.

With a thought, Qiao Mu signaled Qiao Canxue and her apprentice to step back while he approached.

"Which immortal deity are you here to pay respects to?" he asked directly.

"Naturally, we are here to honor the righteous Qiao Shuangxin," the middle-aged man replied.

"That day, he raised his hand to the sky, and we all relied on him to escape with our lives, naturally we remembered him."

"So this man who raised his hand to the sky, is he a fairy or a god?" Qiao Mu asked without changing his expression.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and didn’t answer right away.

But the young man next to him answered, saying:

"Why can’t he be just a human?"

"The fairies and gods in the sky are all immortal, forever youthful."

"But Qiao Shuangxin died, so he was a flesh-and-blood human."

"Since he can’t live forever, he must be a human…" Qiao Mu pondered for a moment.

At this moment, the middle-aged Spiritual Farmer couldn’t help but tremble as he looked at Qiao Mu’s face more and more, feeling a resemblance to the simple clay image, and started shaking all over.

The clay statue was just made these days and it wasn’t made by a famous craftsman. Its appearance is rough, you can only get a general idea by looking at it.

So the middle-aged man only realized the connection between the clay sculpture and Qiao Mu just now.

"You are… that great deity…" The middle-aged Spiritual Farmer’s knees trembled as he bent slightly downward, as if he wanted to kneel down.

But at that moment, when Qiao Mu looked up, an invisible gust of wind suddenly rose up, actually supporting the middle-aged man’s body to straighten up again.

"Who in this world lives forever?" Qiao Mu said calmly.

"Qiao Shuangxin has passed away, and I am just another person from the Qiao family, and my name is… Qiao Qijin."

"Ah?" The middle-aged Spiritual Farmer was confused and shocked.

As the sun rose at that moment, more and more Spiritual Farmers gathered around.

Qiao Mu didn’t pay attention, he just casually walked up to the rough and simple clay statue, and lightly touched it with his hand.

The rough features of the person’s face were erased, leaving behind a blurry face without any features.

Qiao Mu pointed his finger like a sword, and true strength spewed from his fingertips, turning into a three-foot aura, like a pale white light blade.

Carrying the light blade on his fingertip, he wrote a line on the giant stone above the clay sculpture’s head:

"Rather than worshiping gods, worship yourself. Self-improvement is better than admiring others’ strength."

After writing the line, he still felt it wasn’t enough. He immediately jumped up and continued writing on the side of the giant stone: freewēbnoveℓ.com

"《Human Path Sutra》".

He wrote tirelessly for thousands of words, outlining his "Human Path Sutra" up to now.

When these thousands of words were finished, a large crowd of amazed people had already gathered around.

Creating a sword with condensed air to carve words, this kind of skill seemed mysterious to ordinary people.

But when the crowd finished admiring the handwriting above and turned around, they realized that Qiao Mu had disappeared without a trace.

……………

Nan Province, on the outskirts of Heyang City.

A rainbow beam burst out from the clouds and landed on a small mountain on the outskirts of the city in an instant.

As the rainbow light touched the ground, it transformed into a middle-aged cultivator with a pained expression on his face.

"I knew Elder Yao Yin wouldn’t be able to handle it, couldn’t defend against…" the middle-aged cultivator complained.

"Luckily, I was prepared in advance and had already contacted the Yunxiao Sect, otherwise I would have been in big trouble within the sect."

This middle-aged cultivator, with cultivation at the early stage of Golden Core, had once participated in the Xuantian Sect Mountain Protection Formation and defended against external enemies alongside Elder Yao Yin.

When the formation was broken, he was the first to escape.

He walked to a mountain temple and gently knocked on the door.

"Friend, please come in," a voice came from inside the courtyard.

The middle-aged cultivator walked through the door and saw two Taoist priests playing chess in the courtyard, which surprised him.

On the left was Taoist Yuhan from the Yunxiao Sect whom he had contacted a few times, but he didn’t recognize the person sitting opposite him.

"This is Daoist Ming from the Great Dao Sect," Taoist Yuhan from the Yunxiao Sect introduced with a fake smile.

It was evident that these two did not get along well.

The middle-aged cultivator suddenly understood, "So, they are from the Great Dao Sect."

It was not something that every Immortal Gate dared to do, stationing cultivators in the Nan Province.

It was only in the recent months that he heard about Taoist Yuhan from the Yunxiao Sect arriving.

The Great Dao Sect has always been arrogant… they’re not even afraid of the injured leader of the Xuantian Sect.

But now, it seems like the Great Dao Sect has really crossed the line by barging into Taoist Yuhan’s little courtyard.

"A friend from the Dao visiting, must mean there’s something important to discuss in the Three Treasures Hall?" said the Great Dao Sect’s cultivator calmly.

The middle-aged cultivator pondered and spoke:

"There has been a major change in the Xuantian Sect, to cut a long story short… this is huge news. I hope that after I finish speaking, Taoist Yuhan can keep our agreement and introduce me to join the Yunxiao Sect."

"No problem, no problem," Taoist Yuhan from the Yunxiao Sect smiled.

"Oh? Well, congratulations to Taoist Yuhan this time," said the nearby cultivator from the Great Dao Sect with a hint of jealousy.

"This person’s cultivation has already reached the Golden Core Stage. Among the Nine Immortal Gates, he can be considered a key figure.

Being able to recruit a Golden Core cultivator, especially one who brings many secrets of the Xuantian Sect, is a great achievement."

"Dear friend from Xuantian Sect, won’t you consider our Great Dao Sect? We’ll pay double the price that Yunxiao Sect can offer."

"I’ll pass." The middle-aged cultivator glanced at the Great Dao Sect cultivator next to him, politely declined, then pulled out a jade slip from his pocket and handed it over.

"Quite serious…" Taoist Yuhan, initially unconcerned, scanned the jade slip with his divine sense, instantly turning as still as a statue, standing there dumbfounded.

"Friend? Friend Yuhán?"

After a few prompts, Taoist Yuhan snapped out of his daze, jolting in surprise:

"Please wait for a moment, friend. This matter is too important, I need to seek advice from my sect before making a decision…."

Saying this, he took out a Message Jade Talisman in an attempt to contact his sect….

However, despite his efforts, the message seemed to vanish without a trace, with no response at all.

"How can this be?" Taoist Yuhan furrowed his brows.

He was a disciple directly accepted by the Yunxiao Sect Leader, a powerful cultivator with a strong inner energy core. The Sect Leader personally ordered him to go to Nan Province for a specific mission.

Therefore, his special jade talisman was actually a direct way to communicate with the Yunxiao Sect Leader.

"Could it be that the Sect Leader is in seclusion? His condition does seem worrying…"

Taoist Yuhan thought for a moment, then tried to contact Taoist Child Yu Shan and another elder Nascent Soul cultivator named Yun Hu.

However, no matter who he tried to contact, all messages seemed to disappear without a trace.

"How could this be happening? Why is this so?"

Taoist Yuhan couldn’t help but shiver with fear.

Large sects like Xuantian Sect and Yunxiao Sect were incredibly complex and interconnected.

Xuantian Sect, as it is known today, no longer exists, destroyed by martial artists; yet, even with the sect being attacked, there were still survivors.

But something strange was happening at Yunxiao Sect, from the sect leader to all the other disciples in the sect, nobody could be reached…

This was very mysterious, extremely mysterious.

Thinking back to the turmoil at Southwest Province Yunxiao Sect several months ago, Taoist Yuhan had a vague idea in his mind.

"Daoist friend Dao Ming." He turned to look at the cultivator from Great Dao Sect, Dao Ming, with a smile on his face:

"Great Dao Sect, do you still have two vacant positions for godly statues?"

…………………………

Zhong Province.

West of Hundred-mile Desert lies the location of the Great Dao Sect sect.

At this moment.

Rainbow lights broke through the sky and hurried straight to the sect’s meeting hall.

"Rarely seen elders from the sect, all appearing together today?"

"Even during the sect’s grand competition, we haven’t seen this many elders gathering, right?"

"Could it be that something important is happening?"

On top of each peak, disciples looked up at the sky, curious about the breaking light streaks.

"Huh? Even Elder Qingyi has been summoned back?" A sharp-eyed cultivator spotted a figure coming through the sky from outside the sect, looking surprised.

Elder Qingyi, a senior member of the Great Dao Sect, responsible for handling worldly matters, holds considerable power.

Normally, he stays in the Zhong Province Imperial Capital and doesn’t usually show up within the sect.

But today…

Inside the meeting hall of Great Dao Sect.

The leader of Great Dao Sect sat at the main seat, looking down at the elder entering the hall.

In front of his seat, there was a pale blue bronze ancient mirror, emitting a faint blue light.

"Isn’t this the revered treasure of Nan Province Xuantian Sect, the ‘Tianwu Mirror’?" the elders discussed.

"During Emperor Yonghe’s worship ceremonies, the Xuantian Taoist Lord of Xuantian Sect personally took this treasure to Zhong Province, trying to deceive us, but in the end couldn’t deceive our sect leader’s discerning eyes," they discussed.

"In the end, not only were we injured by Immortal Gate together, our souls were also harmed, and even the sect’s precious treasures fell into the hands of our sect leader," they continued discussing.

"Is there any important matter today that requires the use of such treasures?" Elder Qingyi asked.

The revered treasures of the major Immortal Gates are ancient relics, some even crafted by True Immortals before their ascension, considered the foundation of the Nine Immortal Gates.

Although their power has diminished due to the decline of spiritual energy, they are still significant.

Even though the leader of the Great Dao Sect took the mirror from Xuantian Taoist Lord, they still haven’t fully mastered its power.

That’s why Elder Qingyi asked this question.

"It’s not about using the Tianwu Mirror, it’s about the mark left by Xuantian Sect in the mirror disappearing."

The leader of the Great Dao Sect looked up, their eyes deep and mysterious, hiding their emotions.

"There’s urgent news from the Xuantian Sect in Nan Province."

"The Xuantian Sect has been destroyed!"

"Xuantian Taoist Lord has passed away, most of the Nascent Soul Elders are gone, and even the sect’s Mountain Protection Formation has been broken."

"Now, even the place where the Xuantian Sect’s main gate was has been taken over."

The leader of the Great Dao Sect lowered their head, looking down at the many elders, taking in their surprised expressions.

Since ancient times, nineteen powerful immortals with the True Immortal legacy have destroyed ten of them, and now there is a new eleventh one.

However, this eleventh one is somewhat special.

The leader of Great Dao Sect said, "The ones who destroyed Xuantian Sect are not remnants of the ten realms, nor are they some struggling demon kings."

"Instead, they are martial artists from the human world."

"And among them, there is a martial arts family with the surname Qiao that cannot be ignored."

The leader of Great Dao Sect squinted his eyes, his gaze becoming deep as he looked down at the elders.

"Regarding this ordinary martial artist, especially the strange behavior of the Qiao family members… do any of you have any clue?"

The elders, still shocked by the destruction of Xuantian Sect, were suddenly struck by the leader’s question, leaving them speechless.

"Is the Qiao family member the one who killed King Qin and caused trouble for our sect, Earthly Immortal Kingdom?"

"A member of the Qiao family from Zhong Province has disappeared since the assassination of Emperor Yonghe. Who knows what trouble they’ve caused now?"

The elders thought to themselves and stayed silent for a while, but their eyes all turned to Elder Qingyi beside them.

Elder Qingyi was responsible for managing the worldly affairs of the sect.

He held great power on ordinary days, so now that something had gone wrong, he naturally had to take responsibility.

Feeling the pressure of all the eyes on him, especially from the sect leader, Elder Qingyi started to feel overwhelmed.

After thinking carefully, he came up with an idea.

"Senior sect leader, do you remember sending Qingzhuo overseas to investigate the Qiao family member’s background?" Elder Qingyi suddenly asked.

"Why bring up Qingzhuo? Don’t try to divert the topic and be clever," the sect leader of the Great Dao Sect coldly snorted.

"Senior sect leader, Qingzhuo actually had several encounters with the Qiao family member in the past."

Elder Qingyi hurriedly said:

"In the Hundred-mile Desert Secret Realm, he also killed several members of the Qiao family. Later, when he went to the Southeast Province, he heard from a friend from the Soul Predicting Path that he had another encounter with Qiao family’s Qiao Pianxin and managed to escape unharmed."

"This member of the Qiao family is so strange. If the sect leader’s senior brother wants to ask about it, naturally he should go to ask Junior Brother Qingzhuo."
