Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 330 - : Why Didn’t You Die in Yuzhou? Why Did You Return Alive?

Chapter 330 - 330: Why Didn’t You Die in Yuzhou? Why Did You Return Alive?

Jade Cauldron Sect, Grand Hall.

Li Zhendao sat at the head of the hall, with the Grand Elder, Third Elder, and Eighth Elder occupying their respective seats.

Aside from Li Zhendao, the other three were covered in injuries, but despite this, their conversation was filled with joy.

"...Sect Master, no matter how I think about it, I still can't believe it. The Young Sect Master has just stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm, yet he already possesses such overwhelming strength. When you told me about everything that happened, I kept feeling like I was still in a dream." The Third Elder sighed deeply.

"You're not alone. Even I feel like I'm dreaming." Li Zhendao chuckled at himself. "A dream of uniting Yuzhou."

The Grand Elder laughed. "As of now, our sect is undoubtedly the strongest force in Yuzhou."

The Eighth Elder nodded repeatedly. "The Tenth Elder has already sent word—Pill River Sect has only Hai Qiankun and two Divine Transformation Elders left."

"The Second Elder also sent news—Supreme Purity Sect has only Mo Lingxiao and three Divine Transformation Elders remaining."

Li Zhendao's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Meanwhile, our Jade Cauldron Sect still has five Divine Transformation cultivators!"

"Not only do we have the Young Sect Master, who possesses unparalleled strength despite just stepping into Divine Transformation, but we also have our guardian's hidden trump card!"

The Grand Elder, Third Elder, and Eighth Elder were all thrilled.

The three major sects of Yuzhou had been entangled for far too long.

Sometimes they fought.

Sometimes they cooperated.

But never before had there been such an overwhelming disparity in power.

Now, for the first time in a thousand years, Yuzhou was on the verge of unification!

Each of them shared the same thought.

All of this was possible because of Shen Mo!

Tap.

Footsteps echoed through the hall.

Shen Mo strode in with a confident, steady pace.

He smiled. "Apologies for being late."

After rescuing the Third Elder, Eighth Elder, and the other Jade Cauldron Sect disciples from Ironstone Valley, Shen Mo had immediately returned to the sect, but he had taken a brief moment to assess his gains before arriving.

That had delayed him slightly.

"No worries at all! Waiting for you is only natural." Li Zhendao laughed heartily.

"Exactly! You're the one who did all the work, while we barely lifted a finger." The Grand Elder looked at the young Shen Mo with deep admiration.

Shen Mo nodded. "In that case, let's discuss the next steps."

"I won't be giving opinions—speak freely."

With that, he took his seat.

Li Zhendao and the other three elders nodded vigorously.

Shen Mo had originally not planned to attend this meeting.

But Li Zhendao and the elders insisted on his presence.

Even if he didn't contribute to the discussion, he had to listen from start to finish.

This wasn't like the passive observation of the past.

Shen Mo's status had completely changed.

At this point, even if Shen Mo wanted to take the position of Sect Master, Li Zhendao would step down without hesitation.

Yuzhou's current situation was almost entirely Shen Mo's doing.

With so many crucial topics at hand—the merging of the three sects, diplomacy with the Seven Great Sects, resistance against Jing Kingdom, and dealing with the Demon Nation—they needed Shen Mo to be present.

Only then could they discuss matters without worry.

If Shen Mo disagreed with any decision they made, it could spell disaster for them.

That was a risk they could not afford.

The heated discussion began.

When Divine Transformation cultivators spoke at full speed, their communication was incredibly fast.

Glances, words, gestures—everything blurred into a rapid exchange of ideas.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator were here, they wouldn't even be able to keep up with the conversation, let alone participate.

Shen Mo sat calmly to the side, effortlessly splitting his focus—

Listening to their debate while continuing to examine his recent spoils.

His storage ring was already filled with all kinds of treasures.

First and foremost were the corpses of various demon clan sovereigns.

There were now ten such bodies in total.

Whether for forging spiritual weapons or using secret arts to refine puppets, they were top-tier materials.

Next was a fragment of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, found within Crown Prince Xiang Jue's storage shell.

This fragment contained the method for cultivating the fourth layer.

Then, there was the ancient giant elephant's blood within Xiang Jue's body.

There was only a small vial, but it should be enough for Shen Mo to awaken the strength of one hundred giant elephants and master the Immovable Saint King's Physique.

Finally, there was an assortment of rare spiritual treasures.

Xiang Jue, Yuan Kong, and Ao Sheng—each of them had amassed vast collections of heavenly materials within their storage shells.

Though the individual quality of these materials was mediocre, their sheer quantity was staggering—piling up like mountains.

For example, Blood God Flowers, which only grew deep within the Demon Nation, were known for accelerating the refinement of blood energy.

Xiang Jue's storage shell contained three thousand of them.

As for Blood God Wine, brewed from these flowers and refined to the highest grade of Earth-Tier, there were three full vats.

These were likely Xiang Jue's private reserve.

Now, they belonged to Shen Mo.

Another rare material, Coral Gold, only found in the deepest parts of the ocean, could greatly enhance the growth of aquatic demon beasts.

Ao Sheng's storage shell contained two thousand jin of it.

Of course, this was of no use to Shen Mo, but it could fetch a high price in trade.

There were plenty of cultivators willing to pay handsomely to use it for nurturing their own spirit beasts.

Besides these, Shen Mo had also memorized the hidden fortunes left behind by Xiang Jue, Yuan Kong, Ao Sheng, and Xiao Fan.

There were six in total.

Each of these opportunities was concealed somewhere in Yuzhou, Wuzhou, the Eastern Seas, or the Demon Nation, waiting for a fated person to discover them.

But as someone who adhered to the philosophy of diligence and frugality, Shen Mo couldn't let such treasures go to waste.

Thus, he could only reluctantly accept them one by one.

However, because these fortunes were spread out over vast distances, some of them would only manifest at specific times.

It was impossible to claim them all at once—he would have to collect them gradually.

That wasn't a concern, though.

With his current strength, unless ancient beings like Gu Ming or the Sword Sovereign personally intervened, no one could stand in his way.

"First, I'll refine the Ancient Giant Elephant's Blood and awaken the strength of one hundred elephants."

After issuing orders that he was entering seclusion, Shen Mo immediately retreated into an underground cavern beneath Dragon Snake Mountain, where he began a long period of cultivation.

Longzhou, Jing Kingdom's Imperial Capital.

This city was the grandest and most ancient within Jing Kingdom.

It was from this very place that the first human emperor of Jing Kingdom had set forth, sweeping across the demon clans and establishing the realm of mankind.

The suffering and devastation in Yuzhou—its lands drenched in blood and littered with corpses—did not disturb the capital's endless festivities.

Even the looming invasion of the Demon Nation, a million miles away, did not interrupt the hedonistic pleasures of the nobles.

The decay of Jing Kingdom flowed quietly through the alleys of the capital, hidden behind laughter and indulgence, corroding more souls with each passing moment.

At the heart of the capital stood a magnificent imperial palace.

From its highest point, one could overlook the entire city, as well as the mountains and rivers beyond.

At this moment, two figures stood atop this highest platform.

Their appearances bore a striking resemblance.

However, the man at the front stood with his hands clasped behind his back, clad in a five-clawed golden dragon robe, his sharp gaze filled with imperial dominance.

The man behind him kept his head lowered, dressed in a python robe, his heart filled with fear.

King Jing did not dare to lift his head.

Because he had no idea what his elder brother, Emperor Jing, was thinking.

The more calm the emperor seemed, the more it meant that his rage had already reached its peak.

After a long silence, Emperor Jing finally spoke, his voice icy and slow.

"Why didn't you die in Yuzhou?"

"If you had died for the nation, I would have enshrined your spirit in the Grand Ancestral Temple, granting you eternal reverence from our royal lineage."

"Why, then, have you returned alive?"
