Chapter 134: Chapter 134

After seeing everyone off, Headmaster Mo Bei sprinkled a patch of light.

The light became a Restriction that blocked the sound from the outside. The room quieted down.

“Senior brother?” Chen Jingzhai could not help but ask.

“There are some things I must tell you.” Headmaster Mo Bei smiled and had him calm down.

“What is it that you have to be so mysterious about?” Chen Jingzhai asked, not understanding.

“The Headmaster Sage is unpredictable. His instructions usually have a deeper meaning.

“The first thing is, naturally, to have our puppets become widespread in the mortal world.

“Qing Mu and Qing Hui will not be here for long.

“You and Zhang Kui must establish guidelines and mass-produce Grade 1 puppets.

“The sect will provide the resources to support you.

“Pulao Kingdom’s heritage has elite and noble families, in addition to the royalty.

“They control many territories, so they can dig out quite a few treasures.

“Selling puppets is mainly to collect resources, especially those we lack.”

......

Headmaster Mo Bei spoke calmly.

The celestial clans were not separated from the mortal world. Otherwise, the Aspirant Cultivators Academy would not exist.

Pulao Kingdom’s royal family was the result of a compromise between the various celestial clans in the past.

Thus, the celestial clans had many arrangements with Pulao Kingdom.

“What about the second matter?” Chen Jingzhai asked after thinking for a moment.

“Cultivator cave residences will appear in the Eastern Ocean. According to Tianyan Peak, even the lowest level cave residences will be in the True Venerable Spirit Plane,” Headmaster Mo Bei said seriously. “The disciples of the Luo Sheng Sword School won’t travel there if they take part in the Battle of Dragon. But as the Little Master-Uncle, you must go take a look.”

“Why?” Chen Jingzhai did not understand. “Is there something special about this?”

“One thousand years ago, Pulao Kingdom received some sort of inheritance,” Headmaster Mo Bei said with disdain. “They started experimenting with the Emperor Dragon Qi and the country’s fate. They wanted to go on the Path of Dynasty Fate. At that time, the royal family had two members in the True Venerable Spirit Plane, but they couldn’t hold back against the attacks of the celestial clans. The Dragon Qi was scattered, and the country’s fate was destroyed.”

“Really?” Chen Jingzhai was extremely shocked.

“You are quite new, while this happened thousands of years ago. So it’s natural that you do not know.” Chuckling, Headmaster Mo Bei continued, “Pulao Kingdom is only the celestial clans’ puppet. My opponents will always be the other celestial clans. Since you are not interested in the Battle of Dragon, it is suitable for you to explore the Eastern Ocean Remains.”

“Can I bring Zhang Kui with me?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“No.” Headmaster Mo Bei shook his head. “That boy is filled with Dragon Qi. As with the other disciples who participate in the Battle of Dragon, he can’t go with you. Otherwise, you two would be looking for trouble.”

“There will always be a solution.” Chen Jingzhai looked at him with anticipation.

“If you are a Grade 3 elixir alchemist, you could create an elixir like the Providence Elixir or the Sky-Covering Elixir.” Headmaster Mo Bei smiled. “These are also treasures that can cover Dragon Qi, but even Pulao Kingdom does not have many of these, so it’ll be even more difficult for you to find.”

Hearing this, Chen Jingzhai thought of the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens.

He was not very familiar with things like Emperor Dragon Qi, but he was very confident in the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens.

The question was, was it worth it to reveal it to others?

The answer was quite obvious.

He had to hide this kind of secret from the clan, let alone a disciple like Zhang Kui.

“A pity!” Chen Jingzhai said with a sigh.

“Not necessarily. Everyone has their own fate,” Headmaster Mo Bei said, smiling. “Having your creativity is already a great gain for Zhang Kui. His future is limitless.”

This was also why Headmaster Mo Bei was very kind toward Chen Jingzhai.

Puppet Hall owed it to Chen Jingzhai.

Now, they received another prime opportunity from Chen Jingzhai.

No matter what, Chen Jingzhai was a benefactor of the Puppet Hall.

Zhang Kui also received a lot by following Chen Jingzhai.

As the headmaster, Mo Bei was naturally happy about this.

“That’s true.” Chen Jingzhai nodded. Then he asked, “What about the third matter.”

“The third matter is about the Southern Woods Ocean,” Headmaster Mo Bei said seriously.

“The Southern Woods Ocean?” Chen Jingzhai frowned. “Are there problems with the barbarians of the Southern Woods Ocean?”

“The problem with the barbarians is taken care of by Pulao Kingdom. The celestial clans don’t pay attention to it.” Headmaster Mo Bei shook his head. “Do you know what is beyond the Southern Woods Ocean? What is outside Pulao Kingdom?”

“I have seen some ancient books, but I am not familiar with what is outside Pulao Kingdom.”

“It’s impossible for the mortals of Pulao Kingdom to leave.

“They think that Pulao Kingdom is the entire world.

“Even Golden Core Sages are trapped in Pulao Kingdom.

“At most, they travel out to sea and interact with the foreign celestial clans.

“Could the Southern Woods Ocean be the way out of Pulao Kingdom?”

Chen Jingzhai said all of this while feeling shocked inside.

He was indeed curious about the world outside Pulao Kingdom. He had wanted to know since he was in the Aspirant Cultivators Academy.

But neither the books at the Aspirant Cultivators Academy nor Daoxuan Peak had related records.

“You are correct,” Headmaster Mo Bei said.

“The safest way out of Pulao Kingdom is through the Southern Woods Ocean.

“Actually, there are only two paths out of Pulao Kingdom.

“One is through the Southern Woods Ocean. The other is by sea.

“Inner disciples can choose to leave by one of these two paths once they form a core.

“They can head toward the world outside Pulao Kingdom.

“All celestial clans have hidden and sealed off information about the world outside Pulao Kingdom.

“Disciples are only allowed to see it after becoming Golden Core Sages.”

Headmaster Mo Bei spoke slowly.

This was usually information that disciples learned after completing the Foundation Establishment Plane or successfully forming a core.

Most were told by their masters or senior brothers.

Chen Jingzhai did not have a master, so Fuyunzi had asked Mo Bei to take this chance to explain.

“The north has snowy peaks and strong demonic monsters. I can understand that.

“Why is there no path in the west?

“Even though there’s a desert, there must be an end, right?”

Chen Jingzhai still had questions.

He had experienced the western desert before and knew about the demonic monsters.

But these monsters were nothing for celestial clans!

“The west...” Headmaster Mo Bei paused. “At least ten cultivators in the True Venerable Spirit Plane had died there before—not only from Pulao Kingdom but also from other countries.”

“How is that possible?” Chen Jingzhai could not believe that they were truly in the True Venerable Spirit Plane.

“No one knows what exactly happened. We only know that the depths of the desert are extremely dangerous.” Headmaster Mo Bei chuckled dryly. “The second-generation grandmaster of the Luo Sheng Sword School was trapped in it and still hasn’t been found. We don’t know whether he’s alive or dead. Thus, the headmaster at the time forbade any disciples from going westward.”

“I see.” Chen Jingzhai narrowed his eyes.

He thought of Sage Lu, who had come to help. He and those from the Soaring Clouds Clan had come to kill the Huangsha Demon King. Why was it these two clans? It was normal for the Soaring Clouds Clan to come because their disciple had been captured. The Luo Sheng Sword School probably came because the western desert was a forbidden zone.

“Anyway, the third matter is about the safe passage in the Southern Woods Ocean,” Headmaster Mo Bei said. “You must improve your cultivation quickly and at least reach the Complete Foundation Plane in 30 years. At that time, you can leave through the Southern Woods Ocean with the inner disciples and those from other celestial clans.”

“Why must I leave?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“Pulao Kingdom is always controlled by the celestial clans.

“Reaching a higher level through accumulation is impossible in Pulao Kingdom. The Golden Core Sage is already the limit.

“This time, we received a large secret zone.

“However, it is still difficult to produce a Nascent Zhenjun. Leaving is the best choice.

“Especially if you want to create a method and your own path, it will be impossible without bloodshed.

“The other disciples can stay, but you must leave.”

This was Headmaster Mo Bei’s explanation.

The Woods Ocean Pass was also known as the Woods Ocean Ancient Path.

It was created, step by step, with the cultivators’ flesh and blood over thousands of years.

Compared to going out to sea, the Woods Ocean Ancient Path was less dangerous.

“I understand.

“Is there no exact time that the Woods Ocean Ancient Path opens?”

Chen Jingzhai asked his question.

“You only need a general timeframe,” Headmaster Mo Bei said.

“Also, the Battle of Dragons will end in coming years.

“You can hurry and build up your hard skills.

“Kill if you need to. Follow your wishes and don’t restrict yourself.

“Otherwise, it will be meaningless.”

Headmaster Mo Bei gave him reminders.

“I understand!” Chen Jingzhai nodded.

After living two lives, he was not as aggressive anymore.

However, killing demons and monsters was a good way to build hard skills.

At least it could help him relax when he was not making elixirs.
