Yunzhong was located in the south of the Celestial Pole.
After crossing Kunwu Mountain, the southern forest, and the South Sea, one would arrive in Yunzhong.
Because there were many demonic beasts in the southern forest and the East Sea was separated by Demonic Mountain, few cultivators in the Celestial Pole knew about the situation in Yunzhong. Even those who were knowledgeable only knew that there was a piece of land south of the sea. Over time, people in the Celestial Pole just called it Shannan, meaning south of Kunwu Mountain.
Although Yunzhong and the Celestial Pole were only separated by the South Sea, only a few cultivators could reach the other land since ancient times.
There were countless high-level sea beasts in the South Sea, and it was said that eighth or ninth rank sea beasts were not uncommon.
Sea beasts above the fifth rank could generally fly. Eighth or ninth rank sea beasts were equivalent to human cultivators in the early or middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Once one was entangled by these high-level sea beasts in the sea, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to escape.
In addition, the weather in the South Sea was unpredictable, and gales and tsunamis were common, which added a lot of variables to crossing the South Sea.
According to Mo Yaoqing, Yunzhong was a bit bigger than the Celestial Pole. Most importantly, it had a lot of spirit veins distributed everywhere, so there were also a lot of cultivators.
In Yunzhong, cultivation was a very common thing, and mortals were also very enthusiastic about it, although most of them could only cultivate a little spiritual aura and couldn't even reach the first layer of the Aura Refining realm.
This was different from the Celestial Pole. In the Celestial Pole, because Kunwu Mountain had the largest spirit veins, there were only some weak spirit veins in the secular world, so 80% of cultivators gathered in Kunwu Mountain. Most mortals in the secular world only heard about the legends of immortals and didn't know much about cultivation.
Because of the prevalence of cultivation, there were a lot of high-level cultivators in Yunzhong. Ordinary small cultivation groups had one or two Nascent Soul cultivators, and big cultivation groups even had more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
Seeing this, Mo Tiange was very surprised.
Tiandao Sect was the biggest cultivation group in the Celestial Pole, but in its heyday, it usually only had six or seven Nascent Soul cultivators and never had more than ten. If there were more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, the sect should have tens of thousands of disciples, which was quite incredible for the Celestial Pole.
Yunzhong's cultivation resources were also very rich because Yunzhong was accessible in all directions. In the south was the Returning Ruins Sea, in the east was the Yuanzhou continent, and in the west was Xiaoyang. Except for the Celestial Pole in the north, which was too dangerous to set foot in due to the sea, Yunzhong had connections with all the nearby continents.
This scene greatly broadened Mo Tiange's horizons.
Living in the Celestial Pole, she thought other places were like the Celestial Pole, where it was difficult to communicate with the outside world, but it turned out that there were places like Yunzhong that were accessible from all directions and could come and go at will.
The sect Mo Yaoqing entered was called Danxia Sect, and it was also a Dao cultivation sect.
Even in Yunzhong, cultivators were the most numerous among all kinds of cultivators. They, along with Buddhist and Confucian cultivators, were known as the righteous path.
Danxia Sect could also be considered a big sect in Yunzhong. When Mo Yaoqing was there, there were nine Nascent Soul cultivators, more than eighty Core Formation cultivators, and ten thousand disciples.
After describing the general situation in Yunzhong, Mo Yaoqing began to record what she had experienced one by one.
As Mo Tiange read, she sighed with emotion. For female cultivators, being too beautiful wasn't a good thing.
Mo Yaoqing's spiritual roots weren't bad, and coupled with her Pure Yin Constitution, she became a disciple of Master Daoist Qixia, a Nascent Soul cultivator. In Yunzhong, titles were very casual, unlike in the Celestial Pole, where Core Formation cultivators were called Master Daoist and Nascent Soul cultivators were called Lord Daoist.
Master Daoist Qixia was also a female cultivator. After she accepted Mo Yaoqing as her disciple, she valued her very much. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, Mo Yaoqing had always been a proud daughter of heaven.
She had excellent qualifications, a high status, and a beautiful appearance. Not to mention in Danxia Sect, she was also famous in the entire righteous path. Some people even gave her a nickname — Yaotai Fairy.
However, Mo Yaoqing was dismissive of this reputation.
Under the reputation of Yaotai Fairy, no one saw her exceptional intelligence.
She comprehended spells very quickly and had a unique understanding of Daoist scriptures. She could often modify some spells to make them more powerful. She even had good talents in pill-concocting, tool-refining, formations, and talisman-making.
However, what others saw was only the Fairy of the Yaotai Pavilion's stunning beauty and decent aptitude.
Many young cultivators fell in love with her, and among them, there was no lack of high level cultivators who wanted to marry her and become Dual Cultivation partners.
But to Mo Yaoqing, these only added to her troubles.
Because she was beautiful and looked around, many cultivators thought they were in love with her. If they talked to her or saw her smile, they would think she had feelings for them, so they would come to pester her.
If she didn't pretend to be nice to them, those male cultivators would think she seduced them first and then turned her back on them later.
Because of this, Yaotai Fairy's reputation became worse and worse. There were always people who said she played with people's feelings and acted unrestrained.
Over time, Mo Yaoqing couldn't stand being annoyed and hated male cultivators even more. She put all her heart and soul into cultivating and didn't leave her Immortal's Cave. Only then did the rumors gradually die down.
Mo Tiange felt it was unfair for her.
She had seen Mo Yaoqing's body. She looked dignified and serious, but she still gave people a feeling of infinite charm. Mo Yaoqing's description shouldn't be exaggerated. Even if she didn't mean it, people always thought she deliberately seduced them.
With the appearance of a fairy and the charm of a seductress, it would be strange if those male cultivators didn't go crazy for her.
Mo Yaoqing was actually quite proud of herself.
Her qualifications were good, but her wisdom was amazing. Her understanding of spells was unique, and cultivators in the same realm often couldn't compare to her.
However, these cultivators who were inferior to her always said she played with people's feelings and was fickle, which made Mo Yaoqing feel even more disgusted.
In her mind, these cultivators were as stupid as pigs and loved to stir up trouble. They weren't worthy of her even a second glance.
Mo Tiange stared at the contempt in Mo Yaoqing's words and thought to herself, 'No wonder Mo Yaoqing never fell in love with any man in her life. Even Zhong Muling, who's fated to be her husband, only had a good impression of her. Her wariness towards men is really deep-rooted.'
Mo Yaoqing formed her Gold Core when she was more than a hundred years old. She originally thought those rumors should be far away from her.
After all, after advancing to the Core Formation realm, one would be a high-level cultivator. Who would dare to talk about high-level cultivators?
Who would've thought that her big crisis would come at this time?
Her master naturally wouldn't tell anyone about her Pure Yin Constitution. Aside from several Nascent Soul martial uncles and the disciple who led her into the sect, no one else knew about it.
Mo Yaoqing had always been against male cultivators, so she never thought about Dual Cultivation. She had long forgotten about her Pure Yin Constitution.
But right at this time, the Head Grand Supreme Elder of the sect suggested to her that she should perform Dual Cultivation with his blood-related junior.
This Grand Supreme Elder's blood-related junior was also a Core Formation cultivator, so her aptitude wasn't bad. However, Mo Yaoqing was a prideful person and she despised male cultivators very much, so how could she agree?
Seeing that she didn't comply, the Grand Supreme Elder didn't force her at first. Instead, he let her master try to persuade her.
Mo Yaoqing recorded: "I'm indebted to master, and I also understand her suffering. However, it's absolutely impossible for me to perform Dual Cultivation with someone else.
Most men in this world have lust in their hearts, but they don't dare to admit it and can only push the blame onto women.
It's hateful that I didn't understand what a Pure Yin Constitution means until now. "
Unable to persuade her, the Grand Supreme Elder gradually lost his patience. Mo Yaoqing noticed this, so she pretended to be unwilling and made many requests to the Grand Supreme Elder.
Seeing that she was willing to give in, the Grand Supreme Elder was delighted and agreed to all of her requests.
Then, taking advantage of their momentary negligence, Mo Yaoqing escaped from Danxia Sect.
In any case, Danxia Sect was a big sect on the Righteous Path, and Mo Yaoqing had just advanced to the Core Formation realm not long ago — how could she escape from Danxia Sect's pursuit?
Mo Yaoqing made up her mind and actually abolished her cultivation level, changed her appearance, and hid in the secular world.
In Yunzhong, even mortals liked to cultivate, so there were many people like her who had a little bit of spiritual aura. Hiding in the secular world like this made it easier for them to avoid being caught.
Mo Yaoqing's move of throwing herself into a dead end succeeded. She evaded Danxia Sect's pursuit and successfully left Danxia Sect's sphere of influence.
Then, she found a small place, hid, and started to cultivate again.
Seeing this, Mo Tiange was extremely shocked.
It was true that cultivation level could be abolished, but what kind of willpower did that require?
This almost completely destroyed her dantian and meridians. If she didn't have enough willpower, she would probably die from the pain!
Besides, Mo Yaoqing abolished her cultivation level on her own. How many people in this world would be willing to abolish the cultivation level they had painstakingly cultivated?
To cultivate again, it might be twice or even ten times more difficult than before!
But in the Jade Slip, Mo Yaoqing only downplayed this experience.
At this point, Mo Tiange already admired this ancestor from the bottom of her heart.
She thought she was already doing well among female cultivators, but compared to Mo Yaoqing, she was still not good enough.
Although she lost her cultivation level, Mo Yaoqing still had her family treasures.
She was a Nascent Soul cultivator's disciple in Danxia Sect, so she had a lot of offerings. Moreover, before she escaped, she also asked the Grand Supreme Elder for a lot of treasures, which she took with her.
Relying on these treasures and spirit stones, Mo Yaoqing turned into an individual cultivator and hid in the secular world. She slowly nurtured her dantian and meridians, then she started to cultivate again. Little by little, she built her foundation, formed her Gold Core …
Even though her mental state was already strong enough, it still took her two hundred years to re-cultivate to the Core Formation realm.
This time, she was very cautious and cultivated her Breath-Concealing Technique to a very high level before she went out.
She didn't dare to show her original face, so she usually put makeup on her face and dressed up in a tacky and seductive way.
Her personality was originally very firm. After experiencing being forced to perform Dual Cultivation, she became even more ruthless. Anyone who offended her was killed without exception. If there was anyone who didn't have eyes and coveted her, she would use a secret technique to absorb their cultivation level.
Over time, because she often used a magic weapon called the Soul Frightening Bell, she was called the Golden Bell Witch.
Relying on her good aptitude and intelligence, Mo Yaoqing cultivated to the peak stage of the Core Formation realm and began to attack the Nascent Soul realm.
However, because her cultivation level was once crippled, her dantian and meridians were weaker than ordinary people's, so it was very difficult for her to attack the Nascent Soul realm.
But at that time, she was no longer young. If she delayed, her chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul realm would slowly decrease.
Mo Yaoqing hated Danxia Sect to the bone. She once swore to take revenge on that Grand Supreme Elder and his descendants, so how could she be willing to die like this?
Right at that time, she met Zhong Muling and discovered his Spiritual Roots of the Origin.
