Chapter 309: The New Protagonist, Mo Hao
Simultaneously, within the vast abyss of the cosmos, an immense and gigantic golden-yellow planet slowly revolved around a sun, so colossal that it defied imagination.
This golden-yellow planet was none other than the renowned Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!
The planet's appearance as golden-yellow was not a result of its surface being made entirely of golden-yellow rocks. Instead, it was because the majority of the plants blanketing its surface exhibited this golden hue.
As for the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, within its Five Elements Great Dao, the Great Dao of Metal and the Great Dao of Earth were markedly more dominant.
These traits had forged the unique characteristics of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's Cultivation Path civilization. This civilization concentrated primarily on the Great Daos of Metal and Earth Elements, thus equipping it with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and making it exceedingly formidable.
On the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, numerous cultivator forces made their home.
Among these, a highly powerful first-rate sect called the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect stood out as a formidable force. With seven distinct branch forces under its command, it occupied an expansive territory.
However, in recent times, the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect had endured great losses in strength.
The cause of this decline lay in the catastrophic war between the Profound Jade Immortal Domain and the Nether Soul Demon Clan.
The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star was compelled to send warriors to partake in the battle, and the team dispatched by the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect last time met a tragic fate, being completely annihilated.
Furthermore, the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star had recently received alarming news from the frontlines. The war continent known as the 'Immortal Martial Continent', which had originally belonged to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, had become the target of an invasion by the demon race. Their intention was to infiltrate the rear of the Profound Jade Immortal Domain through this very continent!
If the demon race were to succeed in this endeavor, the Profound Jade Immortal Domain might be forced to pay a devastating price.
Therefore, despite any reluctance, the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star had no option but to manage the defense of this war continent.
Yet, the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star found itself short-handed to send forces to the Immortal Martial Continent, as the pressure on the frontlines was already severe.
Finally, the esteemed forces of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star conducted a draw, and the critical responsibility of guarding the Immortal Martial Continent was assigned to the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect.
At this juncture, the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect was in the midst of preparations to dispatch their forces to the Immortal Martial Continent.
Nestled amongst the dense golden mountains, inside a luxurious palace sculpted from blue jade, a formidable assembly of powerful cultivators convened.
In the center of the grand hall within the palace, a young man stood amidst the gathering, his face betraying a puzzled expression.
"Mo Hao! Cultivation base at the Early-stage Transcendence realm, battle power also at the Early-stage Transcendence realm, a True Disciple selected as part of the first batch to head to the Immortal Martial Continent!" A stern-faced, middle-aged cultivator looked down imperiously at the young man named Mo Hao and proclaimed loudly.
This authoritative figure was none other than the current Sect Master of the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect, Yu Buhe.
Upon hearing Mo Hao's name, the surrounding cultivators immediately revealed expressions of malicious delight. One of them sneered, "Tsk, it's indeed that kid Mo Hao!"
Yes, exchanged for Wealth, Companions, Methods, and Land!
Wealth encompassed the general resources essential for cultivation.
Companions referred to Dao companions, implying that even wives could be exchanged for.
Methods covered a range of martial techniques and secret arts, inclusive of ancient tomes on alchemy, refining treasures, formation arrays, and talismans.
Land pertained to territories! Provided the Pretentious Points were ample, even the acquisition of a planet like the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star was not out of the question.
But after binding the system, it was far from over.
During the past hundred years, Mo Hao had unwittingly performed acts that fit the system's criteria for being pretentious and proving others wrong. The system had tallied these Pretentious Points, and now it distributed them all at once.
The total amount was as staggering as one hundred thousand.
If Jiang Chen were present, he would surely exclaim in disbelief at the sheer outrageousness of it all!
At that moment, Yu Buhe's icy voice reverberated once again, filling the entire main hall and carrying a hint of vengeful satisfaction. "Mo Hao!" he thundered.
"Mo Hao! Come forth and accept the order! Are your ears so full of wax that you cannot hear!?"
"Step forward quickly, or suffer the sect's punishment!" he threatened, his voice laden with ominous intent.
In days gone by, before he had ascended to the position of sect master, during the time when the Mo Clan wielded considerable influence, he had been the subject of a severe humiliation at the hands of Mo Hao.
"Mo Hao, you insolent fool! Step forward at once!" A voice rang out, dripping with contempt.
"Do you believe anyone will shield you now!?"
"Still feigning deafness, you worthless thing, thinking that acting like a turtle withdrawing into its shell will preserve you?"
"Hmph, someone drag him out!"
One by one, the cultivators of the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect vehemently denounced him, their visages twisted with malevolence.
Amid shoves and prods, Mo Hao was forcibly thrust from the crowd.
