79: Chapter 79 The Tragic Young Master's Benefactor 1

Between the vast heavens and earth, atop the ethereal immortal peaks, the Yunxiao Sect stood proudly. This Sect was a major Sect of the Righteous Path, with a long-standing Legacy and profound foundations.

The location of the Yunxiao Sect was shrouded in clouds and mist, filled with abundant Spiritual Qi, resembling an immortal Realm on earth.

The Sect's architecture was grand and imposing, with upturned eaves, carved beams, and painted rafters, fully displaying the majesty of an immortal Family. Its mountain gate was towering, solemn, and dignified, as if recounting the Sect's glorious history of thousands of years.

The Disciples within the Sect were mostly people of great ambition and pure character. They Cultivate diligently, constantly improving their Realm, aiming to pursue the supreme Dao, and taking it as their responsibility to resist the invasion of the Demon Realm and protect the peace of the Human Realm.

Here, there were exquisite immortal techniques and secret arts, rare Magic Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts, as well as Immortal Pills and wondrous medicines that could bring the dead back to life and extend one's lifespan.

The cultivation Realms, in order, were: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Body Integration, and Mahayana.

However, the ancient war was too tragic, and its destructive power was too great, causing the world to partially collapse and the Heavenly Dao to be incomplete. To this day, no Cultivator in the Mahayana Realm had appeared for millions of years, and it had long since become a legend.

Lu Zhan's identity in this Small World was precisely the eldest Disciple of the Yunxiao Sect's Sect Master, Master Mingyu, and the renowned Senior Brother of the Yunxiao Sect, famous across both the Human Realm and the Demon Realm.

He cared for the common people of the world, upheld the Righteous Path, possessed a righteous aura, and despised the Demon Race.

With a variant Ice Spiritual Root and extremely high talent for cultivation, he had reached the remarkable Soul Transformation Stage before the age of one hundred, on par with the various Elders within the Sect.

Moreover, as a Sword Cultivator specializing in offense, his swordsmanship was superb, making him a rare match within the Soul Transformation Stage.

Within the Yunxiao Sect, he was a legendary figure. Whenever the young Disciples mentioned him, they would reveal feelings of reverence and admiration.

In the back mountains of the Yunxiao Sect, deep within a rustling bamboo forest, there was an Immortal Cave that felt like a paradise.

The emerald green bamboo forest swayed with the wind, making a rustling sound. The Immortal Cave was surrounded by curling mists, dreamlike and illusory, adding a touch of mystery to the atmosphere.

On one side of the Immortal Cave, some precious medicinal herbs and Artifact Refining Materials were piled up, emitting a strange fragrance.

The walls were hung with some ancient calligraphy and paintings, and inlaid with many gemstones used for lighting.

In the center, there was a small fountain with crystal-clear water gushing upward, adding a touch of liveliness to the entire Immortal Cave.

On a simple stone bed covered with soft animal skins, a young man with a face as exquisite and handsome as a sculpture, his brows revealing coldness and determination, sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

Not far away, there was a small, exquisite stone table with a set of fine tea sets placed on it.

I do not know how much time had passed when the young man, immersed in cultivation, slowly opened his eyes. They were silver-gray eyes, shining like stars and as deep as the Milky Way.

Lu Zhan adapted briefly, feeling the abundant spiritual power within his body; he must have reached the Body Integration Stage.

He slowly stood up, walked to the stone table with steady steps, and sat down. He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of clear tea, held it in his hand, and leisurely savored it.

His movements were leisurely and self-possessed, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mind.

The fragrance of tea permeated the air, complementing the tranquil atmosphere of the Immortal Cave.

Lu Zhan sat there quietly, his thoughts slowly returning.

When the first mission was successful, he had sent message talismans to his Revered Master, Master Mingyu, and Mo Yun, stating that he would enter seclusion from that day on, ignoring worldly affairs, and would not come out until he reached the Body Integration Realm.

Returning this time, he was still in the Immortal Cave where he had previously cultivated in seclusion. It seemed that the time he had been away was not too long; everything in the cave seemed to remain as it was before he went into seclusion.

Thinking of the Male Protagonist of this world, a few smiles appeared on Lu Zhan's face. Mo Yun was quite a good child—obedient, sensible, very kind-hearted, and had a knack for cooking.

The Male Protagonist in this world's plot was a mixed-blood of the Human Race and Demon Race, inheriting the cultivation talent of his mother, a human Cultivator, and the top-tier Demon Race bloodline from his father.

His father had once relied on his powerful Body Integration cultivation to pass through the barrier between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, which had been set up by the joint efforts of the various Sects.

He had disguised himself as a human and came with the mission of inciting conflict between the major Sects and causing civil unrest in the Human Realm, but unexpectedly, he met a woman he fell in love with at first sight: the eldest Young Miss of the Mo Family, Mo Yixue.

The two quickly fell in love and became Dao Companions. It was not until the birth of the Male Protagonist, with that half of the Demon Race bloodline that could not be concealed, that Mo Yixue discovered her Dao Companion's hidden top-tier Demon Race identity.

The Human Race and Demon Race had accumulated grievances for thousands of years, and both sides had waged war several times, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Her Dao Companion had suddenly turned into the Demon Race she had always detested the most; how could she face the relatives and friends who had died at the hands of the Demon Race?

Love and hate were difficult to choose between, and she felt ashamed. By chance, she also discovered that what her Dao Companion had been doing was actually targeting several major Sects.

Therefore, Mo Yixue made a decision.

She first persuaded her Dao Companion, and by combining their cultivation, they sealed the half of the Male Protagonist's bloodline that belonged to the Demon Race.

Afterward, taking advantage of her Dao Companion being away, she sent the child to her own Family, the cultivation Family, the Mo Family.

Mo Yixue did not get along with her half-brother, so she had to entrust the child to her father, telling him the whole story and her decision, then turned and left after saying goodbye.

Having resolved all worries, she took advantage of her Dao Companion's lack of precautions and pierced his fatal weakness with a sword. Then, because of the love and guilt in her heart, she also ended her own life.

At the moment of his death, her Dao Companion did not blame her for being cruel and heartless; instead, he said that he had actually thought of this long ago, and that this would be their ending.

He just didn't expect it to come so soon, nor did he expect her to die with him. Regarding this, he felt very distressed and very satisfied; he never regretted falling in love with her!

As for the Male Protagonist, he became the Young Master of the Mo Family and grew up day by day in the Mo Family.

Although he lacked the love of his parents, and his uncle and two cousins were very displeased with him, fortunately, he had the doting love of his grandfather. However, good times did not last long.

The powerful Seal existing within his body and his mixed Human-Demon bloodline caused him to be weak and sickly, unable to Cultivate.

After his grandfather learned that there was a Secret Realm containing a precious medicine that could cure his condition, he resolutely went there.

Although he brought back the precious medicine, allowing him to be healthy and able to Cultivate, his grandfather was severely injured in the Secret Realm and passed away not long after.

Without his grandfather's protection and being scapegoated by his uncle, the Male Protagonist became like duckweed without roots in the Mo Family, drifting precariously. Although he was still nominally the Young Master of the Mo Manor, his life was difficult.

Coupled with his revealed cultivation talent being very trashy and his progress being extremely slow, the Male Protagonist began to suffer all kinds of ridicule, mockery, and bullying.

But even in this environment, due to his grandfather's years of careful teaching, the Male Protagonist did not grow crooked and still maintained some innocence and kindness in his heart.

Until the year he turned eighteen, an incident occurred, which was also the turning point for the Male Protagonist's descent into darkness.

The Male Protagonist was thrown into a snake pit by the two Young Masters of the Mo Family. No one knew what happened to the youth in the snake pit, and no one even thought he could survive coming out of it.

This incident, along with the missing youth, was completely forgotten by everyone.

Until a few years later, when the Male Protagonist reappeared, he had completely turned to darkness, and his personality had changed drastically.

The Seal on his body was gone, and the top-tier Demon Race bloodline inherited from his father, as well as his extremely high cultivation talent, were revealed simultaneously. He practiced both immortal and demonic paths, and his cultivation was unfathomable.

That day, the Mo Family suffered a horrific massacre; no one, man or woman, old or young, was spared. Especially the two Young Masters of the Mo Family, who had suffered immense torture before their deaths. This bloody scene made people's hair stand on end.
