Chapter 350 A new beginning
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side in the martial arts training ground of the sect, the breeze gently blowing the corners of their clothes, and the respectful eyes cast by the disciples were like warm tides, wrapping them layer by layer. The thrilling battle they just experienced was like a distant storm. Although the residual power still remained, it also made the calmness at this moment seem more precious.
"It's finally over..." Yun Yao whispered softly, as if she was talking to Chu Mochen, or as if she was sighing to herself. She looked up at the mountains in the distance, which outlined a dark green outline in the morning light, just like a natural ink painting. Between those peaks, there are countless memories of theirs, including the ignorant exploration when they first entered the world of cultivation, the life-and-death moments of fierce battles with the enemy, and the sweet moments of their warming feelings for each other.
"Yes, but this is only temporary." Chu Mochen turned slightly and his eyes fell on Yun Yao's profile. Her soft but tough jaw seemed to be plated with a layer of gold in the morning light. He knew that the road of cultivation was long and long, like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Moreover, they were now shouldering the future of the sect and even the peace of the entire cultivation world.
"I understand." Yun Yao turned her head and met Chu Mochen's gaze. Her eyes flashed with determination. "So, we can't stop."
The two of them were in tune with each other, and walked towards the sect's library together. The library was filled with the smell of old papers and the accumulation of time. Rows of tall bookshelves were filled with various martial arts secrets and ancient books on cultivation, like a treasure house of knowledge. They shuttled between the bookshelves, their fingers gently brushing over the yellowed volumes, looking for clues that could help them break through to a higher level.
Yun Yao stopped in a corner and pulled out a book that had been covered in dust for a long time. The handwriting on the cover was a little blurred, and she could vaguely make out the words "Hunyuan Jueling Jue". She gently opened it, and a simple and ancient atmosphere came to her face. The pages recorded a set of exquisite and profound methods of gathering spiritual power, which seemed to complement the skills she had practiced before.
"Chu Mochen, look at this." Yun Yao waved excitedly and handed the book to Chu Mochen.
Chu Mochen took it and studied it carefully for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "If this technique can be integrated with the "Cang Yan Yu Ling Shu" I practiced, it may open up a new path of cultivation."
The two of them sat on the ground and immersed themselves in the study of the technique. Yun Yao closed her eyes and followed the instructions of the Hunyuan Juling Jue to slowly mobilize the spiritual power in her body, trying to guide it to flow and gather in a more subtle way. At first, the spiritual power was a little bit disobedient, running around like a naughty child, but she was not impatient or discouraged, and with her tenacious will, she tamed the spiritual power bit by bit.
Chu Mochen was also practicing at the same time. A layer of light red light was radiating from his body, which was a sign that the Blue Flame Spirit Controlling Technique was in operation. He opened his eyes from time to time and looked at Yun Yao. Their eyes met, silently conveying encouragement and support. As time went by, Yun Yao felt that the spiritual power in her body gradually became docile, like a trickle, gathering in an orderly manner towards her dantian. Every flow brought a tingling and full feeling, as if her body was being reshaped by a mysterious force.
Unconsciously, the sun had set and the light in the library had become dim. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen slowly finished their practice, stood up, and looked at each other, both seeing satisfaction and expectation in each other's eyes.
"I have gained a lot from today's training." Yun Yao raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a confident smile.
"Well, but this is just the beginning. I will need to practice diligently every day in the future." Chu Mochen nodded slightly with a firm tone.
After leaving the library, they did not go back to their residence directly, but walked towards the martial arts arena of the sect. At this time, many young disciples gathered in the martial arts arena. They were practicing martial arts in groups of two or three. The shouts and the sounds of weapons colliding were intertwined, making it very lively. The appearance of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen instantly attracted everyone's attention. The disciples stopped what they were doing and saluted respectfully.
"Everyone, get up and continue practicing." Yun Yao raised her hand gently, and then walked to the center of the training ground with Chu Mochen.
"Today, we will explain some practical skills to you." Chu Mochen said loudly, his voice was steady and powerful, spreading to every corner of the martial arts field.
The disciples quickly gathered around with excitement and anticipation in their eyes. Yun Yao was the first to draw her sword, which gleamed coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun. She danced lightly with the sword, demonstrating a set of exquisite variations of basic sword techniques. Each sword move was as smooth as flowing water, yet concealed a fierce killing move.
“See carefully, the art of swordsmanship is not about complicated moves, but about precise control of strength and timing.” Yun Yao explained the key points while demonstrating.
After the demonstration, she selected a disciple to come on stage to compete. The disciple was a little nervous, but his eyes showed a spirit of not admitting defeat. The two of them took up their positions and immediately engaged in a battle. Yun Yao deliberately slowed down the pace and guided the disciple's moves, allowing him to experience the essence of swordsmanship in actual combat. After a few rounds, the disciple gradually found the feeling, and his sword moves became more and more fierce, which attracted cheers from the audience.
At the same time, Chu Mochen was not idle either. He walked to the other side and taught a group of disciples who were good at magic the art of controlling spiritual power. A ball of red flame gathered in his palm, the flame jumped and rushed, but he always controlled it in the palm of his hand.
"Only when spiritual power is as powerful as one's arms and fingers can it exert its maximum power in battle. You must learn to feel the flow of spiritual power and guide it with your mind, rather than relying solely on brute force." Chu Mochen said, and gently flicked his hand. The flames turned into several fire snakes, winding in the air and accurately hit the bull's eye set in the distance, igniting a blazing fire that stunned the disciples.
Under their careful instruction, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena became increasingly heated. The disciples were eager to practice, and devoted themselves to the training. Every move was full of seriousness. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen shuttled among the disciples, correcting their movements and answering their questions from time to time. Unknowingly, the night had quietly fallen, and the stars were sprinkled on the martial arts arena.
"Let's stop here today. Everyone go back and take into account what you have learned today, and continue tomorrow." Yun Yao felt relieved as she looked at her disciples who were tired but excited.
The disciples bowed and left one after another, and the martial arts arena gradually returned to peace. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked side by side on the path back to their residence. The moonlight was like water, stretching their figures to be slender.
"These disciples are very promising. Given time, they will become the backbone of the sect." Yun Yao said softly, with a hint of expectation in her tone.
"Well, as long as we cultivate it with all our heart, our sect will surely prosper." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, his eyes filled with determination.
After returning to her residence, Yun Yao did not rest immediately, but sat in front of the window, took out a booklet recording the sect's development plan, and fell into deep thought. The booklet was filled with her thoughts and ideas during this period, from the improvement of the disciple training system, to the reasonable allocation of sect resources, to the exchange and cooperation with other sects, no matter how big or small.
"Chu Mochen, look at this idea about setting up a reward mechanism for disciples' advancement. Do you think it is feasible?" Yun Yao looked up at Chu Mochen who was wiping his sword, her eyes full of inquiry.
Chu Mochen put down his sword, walked to Yun Yao and sat down. He carefully read the contents of the booklet, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This is a very good plan. It can not only stimulate the enthusiasm of the disciples to practice, but also allow them to promote each other in the competition. However, the setting of rewards needs to be considered. It should be generous and attractive, but not too biased in one aspect, so as not to lead the disciples to practice one-sidedly."
Yun Yao nodded slightly, tapping the pen in her hand on the booklet lightly: "You are right. I originally wanted to set up some rare elixirs and magic weapons as rewards, but I was worried that the disciples would neglect the cultivation of their own foundation in pursuit of external things. Perhaps we can add some honorary titles to give those who perform outstandingly more opportunities to practice. What do you think?"
"That's right. This will not only satisfy the disciples' sense of honor, but also allow them to grow in actual combat." Chu Mochen agreed.
The two of them discussed many issues concerning the development of the sect, and before they knew it, the moonlight outside the window had quietly climbed up to the middle of the sky. Yun Yao put away the booklet until she felt sleepy, and fell asleep in Chu Mochen's arms.
In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen devoted themselves to cultivation and the construction of their sect. Every morning, they would study the techniques in the library and absorb the nutrients of knowledge; in the afternoon, they would go to the martial arts field to teach their disciples and impart what they had learned; at night, they would return to their residence to discuss the development plan of the sect, often working until late at night.
As time went by, their efforts gradually paid off. The overall strength of the disciples in the sect improved significantly, and they repeatedly made their mark in exchanges and discussions with other sects. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen themselves also made steady progress on the road of cultivation. Yun Yao successfully broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Judan realm, and her spiritual power became more powerful and condensed; Chu Mochen's "Cangyan Yulingshu" was also cultivated to a higher level, and with every move, the red flame seemed to be able to burn away all obstacles in the world.
One day, the head of the sect sent a message, inviting Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to the meeting room. The two knew that there must be something important to discuss, so they dressed up and hurried over.
In the meeting room, the head and several elders had already taken their seats. Seeing them arrive, they all nodded in greeting.
"Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, I called you here this time because I have something to discuss with you." The head of the sect looked solemn. After scanning the two of them, he slowly spoke, "Recently, my spies got news that a mysterious dark force has appeared in the distant southern border. This force is extremely strange. Wherever it goes, lives are lost, and many weak sects have been destroyed. After discussion, we decided to send the two of you to investigate. If the situation is true, you must find a way to stop the spread of this dark force."
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and saw determination and resoluteness in each other's eyes.
"Master, rest assured. The two of us will do our best to live up to your trust." Chu Mochen stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"Okay, this mission is arduous, you must proceed with caution. The sect will fully support you in providing the required supplies and magic weapons." The head of the sect nodded slightly, his eyes full of trust and expectations.
After leaving the meeting room, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen returned to their residence and began to prepare for the journey. They selected some necessary elixirs and magic weapons, carefully studied the map of southern Xinjiang, and planned the route.
"The land of Southern Xinjiang is mysterious and unpredictable. I heard that poisonous creatures are rampant and miasma is everywhere. We must be extra careful when we go there this time." Yun Yao reminded as she packed her bags.
"Well, I have prepared some magic weapons and elixirs for warding off poison, which should come in handy then." Chu Mochen said as he put several jade pendants emitting a faint light and bottles of elixirs into his bag.
Everything was ready. The next morning, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen set off for the journey to Southern Xinjiang under the watchful eyes of everyone in the sect. Their figures gradually went farther and farther away, but they were like two shining stars, carrying the hope of the sect and the future of the cultivation world. The road ahead was long, full of unknowns and challenges, but they were not afraid, because they knew that every tempering would make them stronger, and this was just another new starting point on their legendary road.
The wind gently blew their hair, as if seeing them off, and also as if whispering the story of the future. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked hand in hand, taking firm steps towards the mysterious southern border and the unknown destiny. Their backs were stretched out in the morning light, gradually blending into the world, becoming a magnificent silhouette in this vast world of cultivation.
