Chapter 6101: Jie Tianâs Father, Jie Mubai
âMaster, you are...â
Baili Zilin stared at the mysterious world spiritist in shock. He had once seen this face on the information the Netherworld Sect had on the Seven Realms Sacred Mansionâs top experts.
The mysterious world spiritist had been the strongest prodigy of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion before Jie Ranqingâs meteoric rise, a figure who dominated an era in the world of cultivation.
His name was Jie Mubai, and he was Jie Tianâs father.
âDoes young master Zilin not know my true identity?â Jie Mubai asked.
âMaster, Lord Baili has promised not to divulge your identity to anyone when you decided to work with our Netherworld Sect. The only ones who know your identity in the Netherworld Sect are Lord Baili and I, until now,â Jimo Qianzhou replied.
âI didnât expect master to be the famous Elder Jie Mubai. Elder, please pardon me for my earlier disrespect.â Baili Zilin, despite not having fully recovered, stood up and bowed deeply.
âYou may spare with the ceremony, young master Zilin. You have yet to fully recover.â
With a flick of his fingers, Jie Mubai released a surge of spirit power that held down Baili Zilin, stopping the latter from making any huge movements.
âI could have left my name on the highest peak of the Luck Saint Realm, but I opted for the key to the Luck Saint Realm instead, allowing me to manually manifest and monopolize it. I received less luck energy, but I reaped more from it over time. The luck energy played a huge role in how I became a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist at my age,â Jie Mubai said.
âDoes that mean that youâre the reason behind the Luck Saint Realmâs disappearance?â Jimo Qianzhou asked.
âYou can say so.â Jie Mubai nodded.
âHaha! I heard Jie Ranqing was looking forward to entering the Luck Saint Realm to obtain the strongest luck energy and achieve what her father, Jie Tianran, failed at, but the realm has never appeared since. So, youâre the one who has kept it from appearing, robbing her of her chance to challenge it. It turns out that youâre the strongest one in the end.
âBack then, many people speculated that your talent was beneath Jie Tianranâs because you failed to leave your name on the Luck Saint Realmâs peak, but in truth, you have already gained control of the Luck Saint Realm. Thatâs a feat surpassing Jie Tianranâs!
âNow that Jie Ranqing has fallen, you are now the strongest world spiritist in the world! Itâs only a matter of time before you surpass Jie Tianran and gain control of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion!â Jimo Qianzhou exclaimed.
But Jie Mubai waved his hand, saying, âI merely chose a different path; that doesnât mean that the Luck Saint Realm is fully under my control. That said, I do have a deep understanding of the Luck Saint Realm. Given young master Zilinâs talent, Iâm certain he can leave his name on the Luck Saint Realmâs highest peak with my guidance.
âThrough many years of observation, I have a clue to obtaining the strongest luck energy, but that would mean passing down my fortuitous encounter to young master Zilin.â
Jie Mubai looked at Jimo Qianzhou, and the latter felt immensely pressured.
âMaster, Iâll discuss this matter with Lord Baili once he emerges from his closed-door training,â Jimo Qianzhou said.
âIâve said I donât have full control over the Luck Saint Realm; I merely boast a greater understanding of it. I canât dictate when it appears. I still have to follow its rules. Speaking of which, itâs about time for the Luck Saint Realm to appear, and I plan on entering.
âHowever, Iâll refrain if young master Zilin wishes to give it a try. Iâll let the Luck Saint Realm appear normally so that you can enter,â Jie Mubai said.
âWouldnât the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion send its experts in if it appears normally? Our Netherworld Sect doesnât fear anyone, but our lords are currently in closed-door cultivation, so we are far from being at our strongest at the moment,â Jimo QIanzhou asked.
âDonât forget that Iâm from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion too. Before entering Godâs Era, Jie Tianran ordered our experts to guard the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, and they are not to leave their positions till he returns. Similar orders were issued within the other powers too. So, this is a rare opportunity.
âI can also tell you that the rumors about whoever reaching the peak of Godâs Era can be conferred a true god isnât a lie. The power contained within Godâs Era can decide the next ruler of the world of cultivation.
âJie Tianran might have taken the lead in Godâs Era, but it wonât be easy to obtain the power within Godâs Era. The dust has yet to settle, and I believe young master Zilin stands a fighting chance. Who can rival young master Zilin if he obtains the strongest luck energy inside the Luck Saint Realm? Chu Feng canât, and neither can his world spirit.
âIf no junior can pull it off, itâs even more unlikely that any in the older generation can do it.
âI know that the Netherworld Sect has its own plans, but your goal for nurturing the Netherworld Embryo is to attain greater power, and the power that can be obtained from Godâs Era is beyond imagination. Do you really not intend to compete?â Jie Mubai asked.
Jimo Qianzhou silently glanced at Baili Zilin.
Baili Zilin didnât say a word, but his eyes gleamed expectantly.
Seeing that, Jimo Qianzhou turned to Jie Mubai and asked, âIf young master Zilin wishes to challenge the strongest luck energy, is the only option to allow the Luck Saint Realm to appear normally?â
âThatâs right. I donât control the Luck Saint Realm nor the luck energy. If you wish to challenge the strongest luck energy, Iâll have to revert the Luck Saint Realm to its normal state, but that would mean losing my fortuitous encounter,â Jie Mubai said.
âChu Feng will surely enter the Luck Saint Realm if it reverts to normal, right?â Jimo Qianzhou voiced his concern.
âI have my ways to ensure that no one except for young master Zilin leaves their name on the highest peak. Not even Chu Feng can circumvent my means,â Jie Mubai replied.
âAre you confident?â Jimo Qianzhou was still worried.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was not that he didnât trust Jie Mubai but that Chu Feng had always performed feats that shattered common sense, not to mention that he had just confirmed that Master Nine Zenith was backing Chu Feng.
They had to be doubly wary when dealing with Chu Feng.
âI said that he canât do it,â Jie Mubai replied affirmatively.
Jimo Qianzhou clenched his teeth.
âMaster, we have worked together for so long that I see you as family. I know the Luck Saint Realm is an important fortuitous encounter, and I am grateful youâre willing to give it up to young master Zilin. Your sacrifice wonât be in vain. Please tell me if thereâs anything you need, and Iâll do my best to fulfill your request. If itâs beyond my means to fulfill, our Netherworld Sect will not accept such an exorbitant gift,â Jimo Qianzhou said.
He was hesitant because he knew Jie Mubai wouldnât help them for free; the latter would use this to get something big out of them. But he also knew that this was a huge opportunity.
Jie Mubai took out a scroll and passed it to Jimo Qianzhou.
After looking through the scroll, Jimo Qianzhou was moved to tears. âMaster, you are truly doing this for young master Zilinâs good!â
But Jie Mubai chuckled softly, saying, âI believe in fair exchanges. This only covers the opening fee. After young master Zilin leaves his name on the peak, Iâll hand you two more lists and tell you the method to clearing the challenge and obtaining the strongest luck energy.
âThe first list has to be settled on the spot, and the second can be settled after young master Zilin obtains the strongest luck energy. If young master Zilin fails, I wonât collect the items on the second list either, though thatâs unlikely to happen.â
Jimo Qianzhouâs smile vanished. He should have known that Jie Mubai wouldnât be so good-hearted as to demand so little out of them. It turned out that the simple list was nothing more than an appetizer; there were two more to go.
And the latter two lists were likely to be much harsher.
