Despite the causal ties between the Hehuan Sect and Chen Mu in the past, including the relationships with Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, if the Hehuan Sect truly faces difficulties, Chen Mu would likely intervene. However, concerning the gravity of the sect inheritance, it cannot be taken for granted.
"Alright, as long as I exist, the Hehuan inheritance will exist."
Chen Mu listened to Muqing Yi's words, nodding slightly with a calm expression.
Actually, with the causal ties the Hehuan Sect has established with him in the past, if the sect does face a crisis, he probably wouldn't ignore it. Since Muqing Yi hopes to obtain the promise of preserving the Hehuan inheritance from him, it is of no consequence to him.
If Muqing Yi's request is about hoping for the Hehuan Sect's prosperity, he might consider it more; after all, maintaining sect prosperity and preserving sect inheritance are two different concepts. Although he doesn't have much prejudice against the Hehuan Sect, he doesn't think the Hehuan Sect is suited to become the 'number one sect in the world,' with disciples spread across the land, which could lead the entire world astray.
Clearly, Muqing Yi, the head of Hehuan Sect, is aware of this.
Or rather, the Hehuan Sect prospers precisely because of chaos; if the world were peaceful and prosperous, those willing to join the Hehuan Sect would be few, hence chaos brings prosperity, and peace leads to decline, which is a cycle.
Seeking from Chen Mu merely an unending sect inheritance is sufficient; regarding whether the Hehuan Sect prospers, 'harmony among people' is important, yet 'timing' is even more crucial.
Of course.
Muqing Yi only asked Chen Mu to ensure the Hehuan inheritance remains unbroken because she has a second request.
"As for the second matter... Saint Chen must have heard of the previous sect master."
"I've heard a bit."
Chen Mu slightly nodded upon hearing Muqing Yi's words.
Regarding the previous sect master of the Hehuan Sect, Ye Junhong, Chen Mu doesn't know much, only that she was once a famed powerhouse, but suddenly vanished over twenty years ago. It was only ten years ago when Muqing Yi, the Hehuan Saintess, succeeded as sect master, that the outside world knew the previous sect master of Hehuan Sect might have met misfortune.
In the Hehuan Sect, only upon the sect master's death might the saintess inherit the sect master position.
"Actually, Master did not face misfortune more than ten years ago but disappeared in the Great Wilderness during an exploration twenty years ago, never returning and completely vanished."
"I ventured to the Great Wilderness several times attempting to find Master's traces, finally six years ago discovering some evidence, but was hindered by a magical creature, forced to retreat under its threat."
At this point.
Muqing Yi's eyes showed a solemn expression, she said, "Therefore, the second matter is hoping that next time the Great Wilderness opens, Saint Chen could accompany me and assist in eliminating that magical creature? That creature's strength is comparable to Celestial Human, posing a great threat to me but should be of no threat to Saint Chen; eliminating it would be like flipping a hand."
After listening to Muqing Yi's request, Chen Mu contemplated slightly, then said: "You should know, in the Great Wilderness, the void changes unpredictably. Six years ago, it appeared, and you happened to find your master's traces, but next time you may not find them again."
Muqing Yi seriously replied: "Indeed, as per my knowledge, Master's strength is on par with mine. If trapped in the magical creature's valley, she might have faced misfortune. But as humans, there are things we must do; Master's longevity is far from over. Since traces were found, they must be clarified... whether or not next time the Great Wilderness can lead to that place, please accompany me, just once."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu pondered for a moment, then said:
"I can agree to this, but I have no immediate plans to explore the Great Wilderness. I must first delve into this Soul Refinement Technique; at least three to five years later, I might consider exploring it."
The Great Wilderness contains secrets above the God Realm and involves countless worlds' mysteries, which he will explore sooner or later, but not now. His current strength hasn't reached its potential peak, and the Great Wilderness is fraught with dangers. Even though the true God Realm cannot tread within, there might be Divine Under Eighth Rank or even Ninth Rank existences.
He must wait until he pushes his current strength to its utmost limit before considering entering the Great Wilderness to explore the world's secrets.
Hearing Chen Mu's response.
Muqing Yi wasn't surprised; indeed, Chen Mu had just received the Soul Heart Refinement Great Wilderness Secret Technique from her, and it's impossible to abandon such a technique and immediately adventure into the Great Wilderness, especially as its opening date is uncertain.
"Then let's wait for an opportune time for Saint Chen to enter the Great Wilderness."
"Alright."
Chen Mu handed the scroll made of demon skin back to Muqing Yi.
Obtaining the Great Wilderness Secret Arts, the Soul Refinement Technique from the Hehuan Sect was unexpected good fortune; originally, after his Kunlun Dao debate, he would return to the Seven Profound Sect for secluded comprehension of the Origin Void Dao, but now he can preliminarily focus on refining the Soul Heart.
For the Soul Heart is key, the stronger the Soul Heart, the easier it becomes to comprehend the Origin Dao, quicker to accumulate experience in the system panel, and reaching the peak in Soul Heart solidification to an Immortal Divine Soul is an indispensable step before entering the God Realm.
Muqing Yi took the demon skin and tucked it into her sleeve, then stood with a smile towards Chen Mu and said, "Such rare visits to Hehuan by Saint Chen, stay a few more days, allowing the Hehuan Sect to show hospitality."
