SFS Chapter 293 Returning To The Demon Sect
Chapter 293 Returning To The Demon Sect
A few days later, Zhao Mu returned to the Saint Prime Devil Sect on the Ye Muye Immortal Ship.
Zhao Mu had gained a lot from this trip, much more than he had expected. But the biggest gain was still the Ye Muye Immortal Ship.
What the Devil Sect lacked the most now was peak combat power.
Without a Sky Realm cultivator, no matter how the Devil Sect developed, there was always the risk of being wiped out.
But with the Ye Muye Immortal Ship, things were different.
Even though the Ye Muye Immortal Ship had no combat power, it was hard to find anything more sturdy than it in the entire Immortal Martial Continent.
Extreme defense was also a means of attack.
With the Ye Muye Immortal Ship protecting the Devil Sect, Zhao Mu was confident that even if two or three Sky Realm cultivators attacked the Devil Sect at the same time, they wouldn't even be able to take half a step into the Devil Sect.
With such confidence, the Devil Sect could develop even more unscrupulously.
When the Ye Muye Immortal Ship appeared in the Devil Sect's field of vision, the upper echelons of the Devil Sect came to welcome it.
Zhao Mu's actions in the Thousand Demons Forest had mostly been spread through various channels. Now, Zhao Mu's reputation was unparalleled in the Immortal Martial Continent, not to mention in the Devil Sect.
Whether it was the disciples of the human race or the demon race, almost all of them treated Zhao Mu like a god.
Especially the fact that Zhao Mu was able to escape unscathed from the Dragon Field. To anyone, this was unbelievable.
Even the reclusive Empress Qing Yun personally came to welcome Zhao Mu's triumphant return.
Looking at the familiar faces, Zhao Mu felt as if he had returned home.
Zhao Mu glanced around and saw that the Devil Sect had expanded a lot. There were even some towns around it that were filled with people, most of them cultivators who came to sign up for the test.
As Zhao Mu's reputation soared, so did the Devil Sect. It attracted many ambitious cultivators. Many cultivators had even begun to compare the Saint Prime Devil Sect with the Holy Lands. As of now, the Devil Sect was even more attractive than the old Holy Lands.
After all, the Holy Lands had high requirements for accepting disciples, and the structure of the Holy Lands had already solidified. Even if they were still recruiting, the number of spots was limited.
Unlike the Saint Prime Devil Sect, which was now in its golden period of development, there was a high demand for talents. Naturally, the threshold would not be set too high. Many cultivators who did not have the ability to enter the Saint Prime Devil Sect still had the opportunity to join if they worked hard.
It wasn't that the Devil Sect was eating leftovers that others didn't want. It was just that prodigies were a scarce resource to begin with. It was rare for a prodigy to appear, and the various Holy Lands had already racked their brains to snatch them away.
However, this was not important. As long as there were enough people, they would be able to pick out a few good seedlings.
At most, they could just throw in more resources.
"It's time to take in more disciples."
The first thing Zhao Mu did when he returned to the Devil Sect was to announce the news of him accepting new disciples. First, he asked Bai Muxue to select a batch of outstanding disciples and send them to Zhao Mu for him to choose from.
When this news came out, the entire Devil Sect was in an uproar.
Especially those new disciples. They were very clear that if they could become Zhao Mu's disciple, it would definitely be a great opportunity. Perhaps it would allow them to soar into the sky and amaze the world with a single feat.
How could any cultivator who was confident that they were not weaker than others miss such a good opportunity?
Not only were the disciples of the Devil Sect alarmed, even the outside world had received the news. Many outstanding geniuses who were still observing were also tempted.
Zhao Mu was now a famous figure in the Immortal Martial Continent. Although his cultivation level was not high, and he had not even reached the threshold of Tribulation Transcendence, such a strong person's strength could not be judged by his cultivation level.
Putting aside his strength, Zhao Mu was the actual ruler of the Saint Prime Devil Sect. As long as the Devil Sect developed smoothly in the future, it would definitely become an existence comparable to a Holy Land.
By then, Zhao Mu would be on par with Sword God Qu Liu, Immortal Apothecary, Venerable Mo En, Fairy Ning Hua, and Empress Xuan Ji, both in terms of strength and status.
Once they became Zhao Mu's disciple, they would have a bright future ahead of them.
There were also rumors that Zhao Mu was extremely generous with his wealth. If he treated outsiders like this, it was needless to say how he treated his own disciples.
Because of the news that Zhao Mu wanted to take in disciples, the number of cultivators who came to register for the Devil Sect's examination increased by several times in just a few days. There were also some with excellent potential.
The date of the disciple recruitment had not been decided yet, so Zhao Mu was not in a hurry. He let the geniuses fly for a while.
As long as they were good seedlings, he would not miss them.
Of course, Zhao Mu's first criteria for taking in disciples was to be obedient.
If they were rebellious, Zhao Mu would decisively reject them even if they were geniuses.
After all, the binding quota was fixed. If he took in an ingrate, wouldn't he take up a binding spot for no reason? The gains would not make up for the losses.
Of course, there was a solution, and that was to kill the rebellious child. Once the person was dead, the binding spot would naturally be empty.
But that was ultimately a last resort. It could not be used carelessly.
A few days later.
Southwest of the Devil Sect, Hero's Mound.
In a huge tomb, the corpses of a giant's family of three had just been buried.
Zhao Mu was not stingy. He held a grand funeral for the giant's family.
In this Hero's Mound, many seniors who had sacrificed their lives for the Devil Sect were buried. Although the three giants were not from the Devil Sect, they had left behind a generous inheritance for Zhao Mu. In a sense, they were the benefactors of the Devil Sect. They were fully qualified to be buried here.
In the next few days, Zhao Mu wholeheartedly devoted himself to the renovation of the Muye Immortal Boat.
In the future, the Immortal Boat would be his new home. He had to take it seriously.
For this, Zhao Mu pulled Niu Yulan, Xiong Yourong, Lu Qi, Mu Jiu Ling, Ziyue Xing, Wu Miaomiao, Shi Rui, and so on. As long as they were related to him, they were all brought onto the Muye Immortal Boat. He asked them to work together and come up with a plan for his new home.
As it turned out, Zhao Mu had made a huge mistake.
When he saw the completed Muye Immortal Ark, he was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of surreal, dreamy, stunning, simple, romantic, and retro natural style was this!
Hmm … After looking at it for a long time, it was surprisingly not bad.
At the very least, he would wake up every day with a fresh feeling. He would never get tired of it.
A few days later, Bai Muxue went to look for Zhao Mu. After passing the selection test, there were more than 200 talented new disciples that had been selected. Zhao Mu could now personally pick the disciple that he liked.
But before that, Zhao Mu still had one more thing to deal with.
He Nanzhi and Kong Miaoyin had already woken up. They were currently detained in the Devil Sect's dungeon and were guarded by Jin Fei. As soon as they woke up, they said that they had something important to discuss with Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu had originally planned to lock them up for a few more years so that they could wake up. However, after much consideration, she still decided to meet them.
Under Jin Fei's lead, Zhao Mu arrived at the depths of the dungeon.
In the dense fog, two beautiful bodies were suspended upside down in the air. Their wet clothes clung to their skin, and the faintly discernible color of their skin was quite alluring in this environment.
