On the way, Bai Xiaochuan held the infant in his arms and remained silent. Today's matter had aroused some doubts in him regarding the cultivation of the Dao.

As the saying goes, the Great Way is ruthless. Could it be that one's desire for cultivation will be cut off in the end? To save logic and to destroy desire?! "" No, no! Only in this way could he be considered an immortal?

Bai Xiaochuan furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Hui saw the serious expression on Bai Xiaochuan's face, so he forced out a laugh and said, "Junior Bai, today I am truly impressed!"

Bai Xiaochuan waved his hand. "Senior Martial Brother Zhang is teasing me."

Zhang Hui laughed dryly as he tried to find a topic to talk about. He suddenly thought of the gossip he had heard while chatting with others. He spoke mysteriously: "Did you hear about it, Junior Bai? This year's Mu Ling Assembly was exceptionally intense. The Five Poison Sect, Azure Sun Sect, and Eight Extreme Dao from the neighboring countries were all here to join in on the fray. "Ai, I wonder how many people will die in there this year."

Bai Xiaochuan raised his head and asked, "What Mu Ling Assembly?"

Zhang Hui was at a loss for words. After a while, he slowly spoke up, "You don't even know about the Mu Ling Assembly?"

At this time, Bai Xiaochuan's interest was piqued, "Senior Brother Zhang, please dispel my confusion. I really don't know what the Mu Ling Assembly is."

Zhang Hui cleared his throat and introduced the Assembly of Mu in detail to Bai Xiaochuan.

The Assembly of Patriarchs was held once every ten years. It was the grandest event in Chu. And every time, the Assembly of Patriarchs would set off a fierce bloodbath. There were also people who lamented: The Assembly of Patriarchs is filled with ghosts, while the new ghosts are lamenting the old ghosts' wails.

To find out the reason, he had to start from the Mu Ling Garden.

There were countless precious things in the cultivation world. However, there was one thing that would cause countless cultivators to go crazy about its name. It was a genius treasure! Especially the ancient spiritual medicines and immortal herbs; they were treasures that could only be found by chance and not sought for.

However, medicinal herbs and immortal herbs were not cabbages. They had never appeared in ordinary places before. The only places they still existed were the legendary forbidden areas.

A forbidden area was naturally an extremely vicious place. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been called a forbidden area. Mu Ling Garden was a forbidden area within the Chu Country.

Mu Ling Garden was originally a sealed off forbidden area. By chance, an itinerant cultivator discovered that every ten years, the boundary of the Mu Ling Garden would weaken by half a month. He spent a lot of time and effort to enter the Mu Ling Garden, and only after seeing the heavenly resources that were contained within were he able to bring out a large bowl full of them.

However, this rogue cultivator's mouth was naturally not firm, accidentally revealing this secret at a banquet. This caused a huge commotion in Chu. After waiting bitterly for ten years, everyone swarmed over to the Mu Ling Garden.

However, when they arrived, everyone was dumbfounded. To everyone's surprise, only those at the Qi Condensation stage or higher could enter the Mu Ling Garden. Those at the Qi Condensation stage or higher could not enter the Spiritual Garden because of the barrier. Thus, a large group of Qi Condensation cultivators swarmed into Mu Ling Garden.

But who would have thought that too many people would enter, and the barrier would collapse? The first batch of cultivators that entered the Mu Ling Garden were all reimbursed by them.

After almost fifty years, the enchantment of the Muling Garden began to slowly repair on its own.

And so, the three major sects of Chu came to an agreement. They had sent out heavy troops to guard the Spiritual Herald. When the barrier weakened, the disciples of the three sects had blocked all the rogue cultivators outside.

The elders of the three sects took out the magic treasures they had jointly refined and cooperated with each other to maintain the barrier's stability. The disciples of the three sects entered in a line to search for natural treasures.

This naturally aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the rogue cultivators. The rogue cultivators grouped together to form the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and began to snipe around the disciples of the three big sects. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. For a moment, the entire Chu Country was filled with terror. In the end, the two sides agreed that the rogue cultivators could also enter the Mu Ling Garden.

The three great sects had created a total of twenty ancestral spirit tablets. Every time the Assembly of Patriarchs began, as long as one held onto Mu Ling Token, anyone could enter the Mu Ling Garden. In an instant, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance began their internal struggle. The three major sects easily disbanded the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

From then on, this grand gathering was called the Assembly of Mu Ling.

However, there was another name for the Assembly of Patriarchs, the Mu Ling Blood Association.

Because too many people had died in the Mu Ling Garden, every time a hundred people entered, only a few dozen would survive until the end. At the most miserable of times, only a few would survive.

There were death restrictions everywhere in Mu Ling Garden. There were many kinds of powerful and bloodthirsty demon beasts. There were even legends that they had seen a rank 6 demon beast in the Mu Ling Garden. Of course, the most dangerous existences were the other cultivators.

Killing for treasure, revenge, lust for beauty, being entrusted with murder, and so on. Every cultivator that entered the Mourning Garden was extremely careful and didn't completely trust their fellow disciples. The three great sects had no way of stopping this situation. In the end, he had silently allowed this kind of thing to happen, and had even encouraged disciples to kill people afterwards.

Thus, it was in stark contrast to an itinerant cultivator. The rogue cultivators desperately wanted to participate in the Assembly of Patriarchs, and the disciples of the three great sects were doing everything they could to not participate in the Assembly of Patriarchs.

However, as the saying goes, a brave man must be born after being highly rewarded!

The Falling Cloud Sect will be the first to increase the reward. As long as we can obtain enough heavenly materials in the Mu Ling Garden. He would reward a Foundation Establishment Pill and claim ten percent of the treasures he obtained. Furthermore, he made a guarantee that anyone who dared to use any method to plunder the share of these disciples would immediately be killed by the Inner Edge Hall without mercy.

With this reward system coming out, the disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect were so angry that their eyes turned red. They squeezed their brains to the point that they wanted to participate in the Assembly of Patriarchs. Some of the Foundation Establishment stage disciples couldn't help but sigh. They only wished that they had entered the Foundation Establishment stage too early, and that they hadn't made it in time.

A high reward also meant a high requirement. Every time, the disciples that participated in the Mu Ling Assembly would be carefully selected.

If a disciple had insufficient strength, they would not be afraid to go to the Assembly of Patriarchs. The sect would think that it was a waste of a precious placing if you died here.

And in three months, the ten-year cycle of the Assembly of Patriarchs would begin again.
