The powerful aura emanating from that figure made a group of young men and women feel immense pressure.

Only Luo Danhua clenched his fists, emitting a creaking sound, staring intently at the figure hovering in mid-air, his eyes flickering uncertainly, "His power... seems to have grown much stronger... How is this possible!"

Breaking through the lake surface, Lin Mo stood in mid-air. Having been held back in the Prison Tower for so long, he unconsciously released the aura from his entire body, and quickly restrained the surging energy upon realizing it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four figures swiftly shot out from three surrounding peaks, standing in the air.

"Xiao Mo."

"Lin Mo."

"Lin Mo."

These four figures were Fang Tangjing, Liang Yuan, Wu Yingxi, and Wu Jinfeng, the masters of the martial arts halls. The moment Lin Mo appeared and released his aura, the four of them sensed it simultaneously. Subsequently, whether training or resting, they immediately flew out.

"I just knew you would definitely make it out," Fang Tangjing laughed heartily.

"Senior Fang, three Masters, let's talk over there."

Lin Mo laughed and replied.

"Alright."

Instantly, five streaks of flowing light flew towards the main hall of the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, and the five sat on stone chairs.

"Xiao Mo, what exactly happened a month ago, how did you get sucked into that black vortex?" Fang Tangjing furrowed his brows, "We intended to help you, but we couldn't breach that barrier."

Lin Mo knew that everything was the doing of Zhen Yuanzi; otherwise, Fang Tangjing wouldn't have been trapped by the barrier.

"It's a long story, but it was also quite rewarding."

Lin Mo smiled faintly, then waved his hand.

Instantly, a scene of light points like fireflies filled the entire hall, their mysterious glow illuminating every detail inside, vaguely filled with a peculiar aura.

"This..."

"Starlight?"

Fang Tangjing, Liang Yuan, Wu Yingxi, Wu Jinfeng, all widened their eyes, mouths agape, even their breathing seemed to stall.

Such a vast amount of starlight, tens of thousands gathered densely together, like a brilliant stellar river.

"Here are twenty-one thousand starlights, acquired within the Prison Tower, with seven thousand starlights allocated to each of the three martial arts halls," Lin Mo stated calmly.

After all, the Prison Tower is within the Nine Continents Secret Realm; without the three masters bringing him in, he wouldn't have obtained so many starlights. Lin Mo didn't want to owe anyone; if he were selfish and withheld to satisfy his own desires, he would never possess the heart to reach the pinnacle of the path. Besides, distributing twenty-one thousand starlights, he still had ninety-one thousand starlights remaining, sufficient to condense the fifth starlight. It's known, condensing the sixth starlight requires up to one million starlights; even if Lin Mo kept twenty-one thousand starlights, there is

only a small chance to impact the power of the Sixth Star.

Fang Tangjing, Liang Yuan, Wu Yingxi, Wu Jinfeng exchanged glances. Although shocked, they understood in their hearts that Lin Mo likely underwent significant danger to acquire so many starlights.

Recalling Lin Mo previously being sucked away by the black vortex, except Fang Tangjing, the others seemed indifferent. Now, Lin Mo brought out so many starlights for everyone, making Liang Yuan and the others feel somewhat ashamed.

"I, Liang Yuan, owe you a favor." Liang Yuan spoke, without standing on ceremony, given starlight is extremely precious, and martial schools needing to grow and cultivate disciples, the starlight became immensely valuable.

"My Qilin Martial Arts School also owes you a favor." Wu Jinfeng stated.

"I won't stand on ceremony either." Fang Tangjing smiled, eyes containing a hint of appreciation towards Lin Mo.

After finishing this, Fang Tangjing and the others stored the starlight well; having so much starlight, even if not enough to condense Star Power, it's certainly enough for the disciples in the martial school to break through the Star Wheel Mirror.

"Xiao Mo, I have something else to tell you." Fang Tangjing said with a serious expression.

"Oh, what is it?"

Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

Listening to Fang Tangjing's explanation, a hint of evil qi appeared in Lin Mo's brows, a cold gleam could be seen in those starry eyes.

"Qingxuan Sect Master? I haven't sought revenge from him, yet he dares come for me." Lin Mo sneered coldly.

Not to mention condensing three starlights within the Prison Tower, greatly enhancing his power, even as a cultivator at the Innate Middle Stage Dragon Transformation, combined with the Ice Emperor Rain Sword, killing the Qingxuan Sect Master would be a simple task.

"But your wife handled things very well, concerning Ancient Martial Artists and cultivation matters are now starting to ferment online, the authorities have already intervened, pushing our New Human Plan to be announced ahead of schedule." Wu Yingxi spoke.

Wu Jinfeng added, "Yes, once the New Human Plan is released, it will be a huge change for all humanity, the entire Earth."

Lin Mo nodded.

Indeed, there have been many Spirit Veins emerging on Earth; the Nine Continents Secret Realm is one such location. Humans, through absorbing Spiritual Energy, can transform their bodies, enabling mass cultivation of Martial Artists.

"Lin Mo, a special group has already been formed above to oversee the New Human Plan; as a member of Flame Dragon, you must attend this meeting, which will be held at the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall ten days later," Wu Jinfeng said.

"Sure."

Lin Mo nodded and replied, "I'll first handle Qingxuan Sect matters."

With that, Lin Mo turned into a fleeting shadow, disappearing from the hall.

"Should we lend a hand?" Liang Yuan asked, furrowing his brows. This straightforward man, having accepted Lin Mo's starlight, felt guilty. If not for the fact that starlight was too important for the disciples, he wouldn't normally accept it.

"No need, haven't you noticed Lin Mo's power has increased tremendously? Although he deliberately restrains himself, I can sense he's condensed at least three starlights." Fang Tangjing stated calmly.

Liang Yuan, Wu Yingxi, Wu Jinfeng widened their eyes.

"This guy, his power progression is terrifying, Qingxuan Sect Master will suffer greatly this time," Wu Yingxi said with a playful smile.

...

The Qingxuan Sect Master, a year ago, desired Xia Mengdie, then had his son Qingxuan slain by Lin Mo.

The same year, during the opening of Lobu Lake Immortal City, Lin Mo again slew the genius Qingzong.

Engaging in a deep feud with the Qingxuan Sect Master.

"If I had been out any later, things might have spiraled beyond control," Lin Mo thought bitterly, grateful time was on his side.

Xia Mengdie, facing the Qingxuan Sect Master alone, was clearly under tremendous pressure. She promptly utilized worldly connections, expanding influence, leveraging public opinion ability, attracting governmental attention towards Qingxuan Sect.

Secondly, she had Yingzi contact Star Sect members, as the last resort, if Lin Mo truly hadn't emerged and Qingxuan Sect came again, only Star Sect members could intervene.

"Meng Die, you've worked hard."

Lin Mo immediately accelerated, breaking through twice the speed of sound, swiftly flying towards Jinling.

The Nine Continents Secret Realm was 600 kilometers away; maintaining twice the speed of sound flight, half an hour later, Lin Mo was above the villa, immediately descending, stride towards the villa.

"Mom and Dad..."

Entering the villa, Yang Chuxue and Lin Guang were watering flowers in the garden.

"Xiao Mo, you're finally back, do you know how worried mom was?" Yang Chuxue immediately set down the watering can, her tone containing a bit of reprimand.

"Alright, Xiao Mo, go check on Mengdie, she hasn't slept well in days," Lin Guang said solemnly.

"Alright."

Lin Mo swiftly went upstairs to the study on the villa's second floor, gently pushing open the door.
