Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 487 - 301: Li is waiting for you

Zhang Ze, "Why don’t I cultivate Nascent Soul? Is it because I’m not a human?"

Mo Jingchun, "That’s not it."

Zhang Ze, "Then why?"

Mo Jingchun, "Because you’re different from normal people, you’re too special."

Junior Sister, "Understood, Senior Brother is not a normal person."

Zhang Ze, "..."

Faced with Zhang Ze’s question, Mo Jingchun asked him a question instead.

"Do you know why cultivators usually go into seclusion when they break through realms?"

Zhang Ze originally wanted to say it’s the ancestral method that can’t be changed, not going into seclusion means futile immortal cultivation.

But thinking he might get beaten up if he said that, he changed his words at the last moment.

"Because the cave mansion is filled with spiritual energy, and there’s advice left by predecessors?"

Zhang Ze had also been in seclusion before, when he formed his Golden Core.

After transforming that Seclusion Cave into a farm lodge, he lived there for a while. The walls of the cave indeed have many messages left by predecessors.

However, they weren’t really advice, more like random engravings.

[An Hong, I love you]

[Seclusion is so tiring, I want to eat chicken]

[Hello future junior brother, I am your senior brother]

Stuff like that.

"You’re overthinking it. Indeed, there was a time when spiritual energy was scarce, but nowadays most places in the Four Continents are rich with spiritual energy, and there’s no need for Gathering Spirit unless activating a Flying Ship or casting. It’s simply because it’s quiet in the cave mansion." Mo Jingchun shook his head, "The reason is simple, it’s just quiet."

"Quiet?"

Zhang Ze recalled that those cave mansions designed for seclusion indeed had many arrays set up to isolate the external environment.

"Yes, quiet," Mo Jingchun said.

"Remember what I said about the state most cultivators face when they breakthrough to Nascent Soul. Their senses and divine sense become extremely sensitive.

"Except for a few cultivators with unique abilities, for most people, this process is difficult, and they require a quiet and stable environment to adapt to their changes and transform their Golden Core into Nascent Soul."

"But you’re different." Mo Jingchun casually handed the melon by his table to his daughter and continued, "You don’t need to adapt.

"In a certain aspect, you possess a powerful divine soul, or perhaps an extremely steadfast Tao heart."

Mo Jingchun took out three Jade Scrolls from his sleeve.

The first Jade Scroll floated into the air, showing the image of Zhang Ze stepping on clouds and slicing a dragon.

"In Wolong Marsh, you accepted the power of Ancestral Dragon Village and gained temporary ability to withstand it, and the price was merely a few days of sleep.

"But for others, the moment the village’s power entered their body, they might die."

The second Jade Scroll floated up, displaying lines of text about the recent Innate Tao Embryo incident at Celestial Sect.

"That was a complete Innate Tao Embryo, not a fragment or an empty shell devoid of power.

"To you, it’s an opportunity, but to others, it could very well be a cup of poison."

"You remember that Broken Star Disc, right? One half of it went mad after merging with the Innate Tao Embryo and is still a bit abnormal now."

Mo Jingchun frowned slightly at this point and then casually grabbed the little Earth Immortal like a stone doll.

The appearance of the little Earth Immortal as a negative example was quite comical.

He wore dungarees, held a small wooden bucket filled with paint in one hand, and a brush in the other.

The little Earth Immortal was covered in paint, and judging by his timid expression, he obviously committed a mistake.

"Clean those things by tomorrow morning, if they’re not clean, I’ll bury you alive in the Sword Tomb."

Then she tossed the little rascal back.

Zhang Ze was curious, "What did it do? Getting such a heavy punishment?"

Mo Jingchun, "Didn’t you have a big statue in the square of Thousand Mechanism Town? It was just drawing a turtle on your statue’s face."

Zhang Ze, "..."

The Sword Sect’s punishment methods usually consist of two kinds, deducting money and burying alive in the Sword Tomb.

Given that the little rascal has no money and is always freeloading at the Sword Sect, it seems there is only the option of burying him alive in the Sword Tomb as punishment.

"What about the security in Thousand Mechanism Town? I, I mean the Four Great Captains?" Junior Sister asked while munching on the melon.

Mo Jingchun glanced over, "Wuqing’s leg is lame, recovering at home. As for the remaining three, they’re leading a group to cheer and Lilily is also there."

Mother-in-law thoughtfully added.

Zhang Ze, "..."

Alright, don’t say any more, it would be rude to continue.

Zhang Ze decided to quickly skip this awkward topic to avoid the impulse of burying Lily alive in the Sword Tomb after hearing more absurdities.

Being a clever child, he soon understood his mother-in-law’s intention.

Zhang Ze looked at the third Jade Scroll, which recorded some crucial matters of the Qinghe Association.

"You mean, because of my unique nature, the opportunities I bear have already far exceeded the limits that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can handle.

"So, breaking through Nascent Soul cannot solve my problems.

"In other words, my strength is not aligned with my realm?"

Zhang Ze summarized accurately, and precisely for this reason, Tang chose Zhang Ze as the one to break the impasse.

Firstly, Tang believed Zhang Ze would make the right decision, and secondly, because Zhang Ze has what it takes to bear those fortunes and strength.

Previously, they had Zhang Ze attempt to completely refine that Innate Tao Pill, both as a reward and a test.

If Zhang Ze failed, Tang and the others would have chosen another plan.

At that time, if it were a normal cultivator with only one Golden Core in their belly, they wouldn’t be able to bear that fortune.
