Chapter 845: The Final Winner

Back to Chapter List
The Break-Tradition Pill, a remedy nearly renowned throughout the realm, was no stranger to Mo Tianxing, nor was the Qi Mountain behind him unfamiliar with it. To them, the pill's benefits carried immense appeal. Currently, the Black Emperor Sect boasts only one Dou-Zong cultivator—Mo Tianxing—whose presence is the very reason the sect has remained steadfast and unshaken within the Black Angle Region. This alone underscores the profound influence and authority wielded by Dou-Zong cultivators in this region. Over the years, the Hei Huang Sect has consistently aimed to cultivate a second Dou-Zong powerhouse to serve as Mo Tianxing's successor, and among the candidates, Mo Ya stands out as the most promising. From a young age, Mo Ya has demonstrated exceptional cultivation potential. For years, the Sect has poured countless immortal elixirs and medicinal concoctions into his development, enabling him to achieve Dou-Hou status before he turned thirty. However, merely accumulating medicinal supplies is not enough to successfully nurture a Dou-Zong. This truth is most clearly understood by Mo Tianxing himself, who is himself a Dou-Zong. The transition from Dou-Hou to Dou-Zong represents a significant and formidable hurdle—extremely difficult to overcome. Even with Mo Ya's outstanding talent, Mo Tianxing has not held much hope for his successful breakthrough into the Dou-Zong realm. If reaching the Dou-Zong level were an easy achievement, then the Black Angular Domain would surely boast far more such rare and exceptional talents than it currently does. Though not holding high hopes, Mo Tianxing had never given up. After all, the Black Emperor Sect had already invested so much in Mo Ya, and now could no longer afford to hesitate—what remained was to truly commit and fight their last chance. As long as Mo Ya could ascend to the level of a Battle Sect Master, the Black Emperor Sect’s strength would surge dramatically. With two Battle Sect Masters and the sect’s long-standing foundation, they would not only achieve unification across the Black Angle Region, but at the very least, expand their reputation and territory by three to five times. The Black Emperor Sect would then rise as a dominant force surpassing all other powers in the region—a status far beyond what it currently holds. Of course, all of this hinges entirely on Mo Ya successfully breaking through to the rank of Battle Sect Master. Yet, for Mo Ya to achieve that solely through his own strength, it would clearly be an immense challenge. Thus, Mo Tianxing had to seek out specific pills that could enhance the chances of success. And now—this very "Break-Sect Pill" presented by Xiao Yan precisely struck at the heart of their most pressing needs. The excitement in his eyes gradually faded after a moment. Mo Tianxing carefully caught the jade vial thrown by Xiao Yan and then passed it to Qi Shan behind him. Upon receiving it, Qi Shan promptly took it and gently poured the pill—about the size of a dragon's eye—onto his palm. After a careful inspection, he exhaled softly and nodded, lifting his gaze to Xiao Yan with a somewhat complex expression, stating in a measured tone, "Master, this is indeed a Break-Clan Pill, and of a high quality—the medicinal power is remarkably well preserved." Upon hearing Qi Shan's assessment, the smile on Mo Tianxing's face grew even brighter. He nodded warmly and smiled at Xiao Yan, asking, "I suspect that the pill crafted by Mr. Yan Xiao back then must have been exactly this one, correct?" Xiao Yan gave a slight nod, glanced calmly between the two, and smiled, saying, "I wonder, Master Mo, what you think of this Break-Clan Pill?" "Indeed, this Break-Clan Pill is precisely one that our Black Emperor Sect greatly needs." Mo Tianxing smiled and nodded. Then, as though remembering something, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked up at Xiao Yan, saying, "Since Mr. Yan Xiao has already presented the item in exchange, please return to your seat and wait a moment. I'll discuss this matter with a few senior monks from the sect. This Bodhi Body-Saliva should now have a clear destination." As he spoke, he turned and took the pill from Qi Shan, then, in front of Xiao Yan, carefully placed it into a jade vial. Only then, with a touch of reluctance, he handed the vial to Xiao Yan. Seeing this, Xiao Yan nodded and took the vial with a smooth motion, then folded his hands into his sleeve. A gentle aura of combat energy quietly rose from his palms and gently enveloped the vial. It was no surprise that Xiao Yan was so cautious—after all, he was well aware of where he stood and who these people were. To deal with them without vigilance might mean he'd never know how he'd meet his end. Then, after securing the jade vial, Xiao Yan bowed slightly to Mo Tianxing and turned to step out of the light circle. As he watched Xiao Yan leave the circle, Mo Tianxing's smile gently faded, and his brows furrowed, as though caught in some difficulty. "Master Qi, currently there are three things that truly move us: first, the seventh-rank pill, 'Fanming Pill,' brought forth by the elder of Yingshan; second, the soul-fusion technique presented by Mo Yan Valley; and third, the 'Po Zone Pill' from Yan Xiao. Which of these, in your opinion, would be most suitable for us?" After a moment's thought, Mo Tianxing slowly placed his hands behind his back and addressed Master Qi with a furrowed brow. Hearing this, Qi Shan was also momentarily stunned, then furrowed his brows, pondering, "The Return-Life Pill is a seventh-rank pill, and indeed ranks above the other two in terms of status. It can save a person's life—provided they are not directly decapitated or have their heart crushed. With it, the holder effectively has two lives. This is of utmost importance. As the most vital figure in Black Emperor Sect, as long as the Master remains, the sect's status will be preserved permanently. "The 'Break-Clan Pill' from Yan Xiao, though only of sixth rank, significantly boosts the chances of a disciple advancing to the Battle Clan level. To be frank, even if we bestow this pill upon the young Clan Master, the success rate would still remain very low. Should the attempt fail, the pill would be rendered useless, and the Bodhi Body-Saliva would be lost—wasted. Of course, if successful, it would bring immense benefits to our Black Emperor Clan. Thus, it's really a gamble. Hearing Qi Shan lay out these points one by one, Mo Tianxing nodded slightly, then after a while, sighed deeply, his face hesitating before finally clenching his fists firmly and said, 'Then, let's go with it!' Seeing that Mo Tianxing had made his decision, Qi Shan said nothing further, merely nodded and stepped back a few paces." … Xiao Yan stepped out of the light column. With the black robe covering him, no one could see his face beneath—it was only possible to watch him slowly return to his seat and sit down in silence. After Xiao Yan emerged, several others entered the light column as well, though most of them went in with enthusiasm and came out with drooping heads, clearly surprised by the high standards of the Hei Huang Sect. "How did it go?" Watching the people moving in and out of the light column, Xiao Yi remained quiet for a moment before gently opening her lips and asking softly. Xiao Yan, wrapped in the black robe, furrowed his brows and sighed lightly, saying, "It's not as good as I expected. I still underestimated how much these people truly valued the Bodhi Body-Form Essence." Though Mo Tianxing had been quite surprised when Xiao Yan first presented the Break-Clan Pill, as he gradually regained his composure, Xiao Yan clearly observed the hesitation and inner struggle in his eyes—indicating that several items prior to this had already stirred Mo Tianxing’s interest. Even after Xiao Yan presented the Break-Clan Pill, Mo Tianxing remained somewhat uncertain. This clearly suggested that the earlier items that had moved him were likely no less valuable than the Break-Clan Pill. Consequently, Xiao Yan’s own confidence in his offer had somewhat diminished. Hearing Xiao Yan's sigh, Xiao Yi's gray-purple eyes gently blinked, and with a delicate hand, she lightly patting his palm in a soothing manner, spoke softly, "Don't worry too much. Even if they fail to secure that Bodhi Body-Fluid, it doesn't mean the opportunity is lost. In fact, many of the attendees here are pursuing the same goal..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was momentarily taken aback, then smiled, a cold gleam flashing in his dark eyes. He had set his heart on obtaining the Bodhi Body-Fluid—should he be unable to secure it through proper means, he would then have to resort to his final course of action. As Xiao Yan pondered these thoughts, the light column on the auction platform suddenly began to gradually fade, and then the scene within once again came into view for all present. "Ah, everyone," said Mo Tianxing, his gaze sweeping around the room with a warm smile, "after a series of selections, our Black Emperor Sect has now arrived at our final decision." Hearing these words, the entire auction hall fell instantly silent, every eye filled with curiosity and tension, fixed tightly on Mo Tianxing. Amidst this widespread attention, Mo Tianxing smiled gently and said, "After careful discussion between me and the senior monks within the sect, the ultimate winner of this auction is..." Pausing deliberately, he waited until several people began to blink in surprise, then suddenly pointed with a gesture toward a specific spot on the guest section. "Old Master of Ege Mountain!" As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall froze momentarily. On the guest section, several individuals slowly allowed themselves to smile—cold, sharp, and full of quiet disdain.
