Chapter 122 - Back To The Sect

Chapter 122: Back To The Sect

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since the disappearance of the Galaxy Sect Ancestor, the Galaxy Sect had been going downhill. Eventually, it was demoted from a top-ranking sect to a second-rate sect.

The reason for this decline was that people from other sects, not to mention the members of the Galaxy Sect, knew that ever since the Galaxy Sect Ancestor had disappeared, the Galaxy Manual’s cultivation technique for the Essence Soul Realm had also disappeared.

It was precisely because there was no Essence Soul Galaxy Manual cultivation technique that the Galaxy Sect had declined.

A few years ago, the Galaxy Sect’s outer sect disciples had offended the Qi Family and the Qi Family’s Essence Soul Expert, Qi Zhishang, had sought revenge. The Galaxy Sect eventually expelled outer sect disciples Di Jiu and Geng Jihua and dismissed Sect Master Xiang Tianyi, who had made major contributions, which caused the sect to decline rapidly.

It was estimated that, even without the Qi Family’s destructive intervention, it would not take long for the Galaxy Sect to become a third-rate sect.

Jing Moshuang stood outside the entrance of the Galaxy Sect, which seemed much more deserted than when she had left it.

She’d had no friends in the sect. There had only been two people who had secretly peeped at her Galaxy Pearl. However, she’d had to come back, as her cultivation progress was too fast. In just a few years, she had perfected her Qi cultivation, so she could build a Foundation Establishment anytime she wanted.

Once she attained the Foundation Establishment, she would need the Galaxy Manual to study the cultivation technique. However, she did not have it.

As she looked at the Galaxy Sect, which seemed even more depressing than it had been a few years ago, Jing Moshuang took a deep breath. She decided to enter a Foundation Establishment period before she got the Foundation Establishment cultivation technique. As soon as she got it, she would leave the Galaxy Sect immediately.

If one possessed a Galaxy Pearl, they could cultivate the Galaxy Manual by opening up the Galaxy meridian. Without a Galaxy Pearl though, it would be impossible to open the Galaxy meridian.

She had acquired the Galaxy Pearl of the Galaxy Sect Ancestor, so she was the only person in the Galaxy Sect that could cultivate by opening the Galaxy meridian.

Thanks to this technique, her cultivation speed would not be too slow. Even though Ouyang Tao’s cultivation speed had been fast, it would have been impossible for his cultivation level to become higher than hers in just a few years.

During the past few years, she had been working hard in the Storm Valley so she would not lose to Ouyang Tao. As long as she learned the Foundation Establishment cultivation methods of the Galaxy Manual, she would not have to face Ouyang Tao.

Apart from the Galaxy Manual, what else was really worth her attention?

A slightly blurry figure suddenly appeared in her mind. It was the figure of the man who had once married her. Although he had seemed like a very interesting person, he had been caught stealing from the Zhong Family and been used by Zhong Hetian, who had not wanted to marry her. Despite the tricky situation, the guy had not seemed worried.

Such a person could not be killed at any time. That man had felt absolutely no worry, so she wished that he could accompany her to the Lonely River City for her immortal sect ascension.

Unfortunately, his spirit root was very poor. However, he was a very persistent guy. After being rejected by multiple sects because of his poor spirit root, he had kept seeking other sects. Although no one knew what Elder Yu had seen in him and the big man, he had still recruited them into the Galaxy Sect.

Jing Moshuang didn’t believe that Elder Yu would recruit Di Jiu and Geng Jihua because of her.

Three years later, it was unknown whether Di Jiu had attained the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm. If he had not, he would most likely not be in the Galaxy Sect anymore.

A servant cultivator in the early-stage Qi Refinement realm walked over hurriedly. Jing Moshuang did not know why, but she stopped him.

“I don’t know what I can do to help you, Senior Sister.” Even though she looked ugly, Jing Moshuang’s strength was obviously higher than his, so the servant immediately bowed down respectfully.

“I am an outer sect disciple of the Galaxy Sect,” Jing Moshuang said. “I took a long-term mission and now I’m returning to the sect. Do you know where outer sect disciple Di Jiu is?”

Normally, servant cultivators would know about the outer sect disciples.

When Jing Moshuang asked about Di Jiu, the servant waved his hand nervously and said, “I don’t know. You can look at the notice board outside the sect. I have to go.”

As soon as he said this, the servant hurried away.

Jing Moshuang was confused. Di Jiu was just an outer sect disciple. What was the man’s problem?

She immediately quickened her step. Before she reached the sect’s entrance, she saw a huge notice board. The board was so big and attention-catching that she wondered whether the sect was afraid that others would not be able to see it clearly.

“Galaxy Sect disciples Di Jiu and Geng Jihua have acted immorally for the sake of some Spirit Stones and harmed their fellow sect disciples Ouyang Tao and Qiao Wei. After the investigation of the Sect Law Enforcement Hall, the following punishment has been imposed. Di Jiu and Geng Jihua will be deprived of their privileges as outer sect disciples and expelled from the sect. Meanwhile, a wanted order will be issued. Any Galaxy Sect disciples that report the whereabouts of these two disciples to the sect...”

As Jing Moshuang’s eyes fell on the date when Di Jiu and Geng Jihua had killed Ouyang Tao, her mind started whirling. Wasn’t that the day when she had escaped from the sect?

At first, she had thought that the Storm Valley would be the safest place for her. She had escaped from the sect, so Ouyang Tao certainly wouldn’t think that she would go there.

As her cultivation and knowledge had increased, she had realized that she had been naive. There had been nothing wrong with her strategy of hiding in the Storm Valley. The problem was that she had not known that there was a mental strength imprint on her storage bag. After she had stripped the mental strength imprint from the bag, she had started wondering why Ouyang Tao and Qiao Wei had not followed the imprint to capture her.

Now, she finally understood why she was fine. It was because Di Jiu had killed those two.

Jing Moshuang had plenty of experience fighting alone, so she did not believe that this was a coincidence. Di Jiu must have known why Ouyang Tao had been pursuing her, so he had followed him and killed him.

Di Jiu had just been helping her. He was a man who knew how to repay good with good. He was actually the only person she knew who would do this.

What she couldn’t understand was how Di Jiu had known the reason she had been pursued. And why would he kill Ouyang Tao?

Di Jiu and Geng Jihua had not been wanted by any sects, so their Spirit Roots must definitely have been of poor quality. Furthermore, when he had killed Ouyang Tao, Di Jiu had only been in the sect for a few days. Ouyang Tao should have been in the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm, or even the late-stage Qi Refinement realm, at the time.

Even based on her current strength, killing Ouyang Tao would have taken her a lot of effort. Di Jiu had not cultivated before, so it must have been even harder for him.

It seemed like this incident had been full of twists and turns.

Jing Moshuang was a sentimental person. She had never been shown such kindness ever since she had been brought to this world by her parents, nor had she ever been cared for like that. She suddenly felt an impulse to help Di Jiu and Geng Jihua. She could not let the sect capture them.

...

According to the rules of the Galaxy Sect, if a disciple’s death was not confirmed, the residence of an outer sect disciple would be retained for three years, while the residence of an inner sect disciple would be retained for 10 years. The three years an outer sect disciple’s residence was reserved for did not include the time it took the disciple to go out and complete their mission.

Jing Moshuang had taken on a one-year mission, so her residence would be retained for four years.

Thus, when Jing Moshuang returned to her residence, it was still there.

The first thing she did when she returned to her cave abode was find a way to build a Foundation Establishment. After she built one, she would be able to become an inner sect disciple and enter the main hall to find the Foundation Establishment cultivation technique.

At first, Jing Moshuang had planned on leaving after building the Foundation Establishment and obtaining the cultivation technique. However, she now had to help Di Jiu and Geng Jihua.

Jing Moshuang placed a simple Defense Array on her residence and took out all her Spirit Stones. She was ready to start tackling the Foundation Establishment.

Jing Moshuang was not worried about not having a Foundation Establishment. She just cultivated the Galaxy Manual by opening the Galaxy meridian. When she picked up the Galaxy Pearl, there was a jade slip beside it. According to the jade slip, any cultivators who opened the Galaxy meridian through the Galaxy Pearl did not need to build a Foundation Establishment.

When the Galaxy Manual started to operate, the Galaxy Pearl in Jing Moshuang’s core was turned into a galaxy. Compared to the illusory galaxy formed by Geng Jihua, Jing Moshuang’s galaxy seemed more realistic.

Boom! Three Qi Circulations later, the gap between Jing Moshuang’s Qi Refinement realm was opened and her momentum continued to rise. The essence energy began to increase before it easily entered the Foundation Establishment.

“Is someone building a Foundation Establishment?” Galaxy Sect Stardust Peak, He Hui, suddenly stood up.

Although he was the new sect master of the Galaxy Sect, he had not moved to Xiang Tianyi’s galaxy peak. Even though Xiang Tianyi had left the Galaxy Sect, he still would not move.

Ever since Xiang Tianyi had left, the Galaxy Sect had not been sure how long it would be before someone built a Foundation Establishment. Thus, even a small disciple’s Foundation Establishment would have alerted the sect master.
