CHAPTER 680: CHAPTER 259: THE ESSENCE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (PART 2)

The remaining Mu Family Martial Artists heard the words, their expressions subtly changed, and they exchanged glances, filled with vigilance. Finally, they all focused on Mu Tianrui.

Prior to this, did anyone know about Mu Xuantong being corrupted by the Heavenly Demon?

Was this attempt to seize the power of the direct lineage related to the Heavenly Demon?

Mu Tianrui’s face turned ashen and he said, "I was unaware of this!"

Ji Jingqiu said indifferently, "It’s not up to you to decide."

"Next, everyone in the Mu family must undergo inspection." Ji Jingqiu looked at Mu Xuanying and said solemnly, "At present, the six major families must not be in chaos. Any disaster must be eradicated before it buds."

Mu Xuanying nodded without hesitation, and at the same time, he looked at the other Mu Family Heavenly Persons present.

The others gazed at Ji Jingqiu with complex expressions.

Aside from Mu Tianrui, another Martial Artist standing on the Second Tier of the Heavenly Person, Mu Tianxiang suddenly asked:

"Ji nephew, have you really mastered the [Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Map]?"

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze swept over them calmly and said, "If not, how would the Divine Weapon choose to support me?"

The smiles on the faces of everyone were uncertain whether they were happy or bitter; the emotion was very complicated.

In their eyes, the so-called title of the millennium’s greatest prodigy held by Ji Jingqiu, or being the heir of Marshal He, or even previously overshadowing the Heavenly Persons with his brilliance...

Were all insignificant compared to mastering the [Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Map].

As Mu Family disciples, how many of them hadn’t tried this ancestral method with hopeful hearts?

Ultimately, they all hit walls without exception.

Mu Tianxiang remained silent for a moment and sighed lowly, "The Mu family side lineage, respectfully welcomes the World Venerable’s heir back from the tribulations."

The [Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Map] is known for the Ten Thousand Tribulations, and Ji Jingqiu mastering it naturally meant he returned from such tribulations.

Following this solemn bow, even though Mu Tianrui remained silent, the other Heavenly Persons found a breakthrough and began to speak successively.

As for the Heavenly Person Supplicants, they were not Mu Family disciples; they merely signed contracts with the Mu Family and did not need to be so respectful, but they still expressed goodwill towards Ji Jingqiu.

Some were already secretly investigating the events over the past few months outside, astonished at how Ji Jingqiu rose miraculously to stand shoulder to shoulder with Heavenly Persons.

Especially those who had previously clashed with Ji Jingqiu, they felt that even without the assistance of the Divine Weapon, Ji Jingqiu might have the qualifications to compete with Heavenly Persons!

Mu Xuanying stepped forward, not only asking everyone to keep today’s matter confidential to prevent the spread of news about Heavenly Demon adherents within the Mu family but also to reassure the Supplicants.

While Ji Jingqiu, under the guidance of Mu Juncheng, learned about the current situation of the Mu family and met another direct lineage member, Mu Junxin.

This person, a few years older than them, had long since entered Divine Travel, missing the chance to enter the Nine Provinces Ancient Road.

Upon learning the truth, this person was stunned for a moment, then promptly bowed deeply to Ji Jingqiu, causing Mu Juncheng’s mouth to twitch, as he hadn’t paid such respect himself...

From the mouths of the two, Ji Jingqiu learned that the Mu family’s situation in recent years had not been very good.

Mainly due to the issue of the bloodline curse.

The direct lineage of the Mu family was declining, while the side lineage was somewhat thriving, producing a number of Heavenly Human Martial Artists beyond a single hand count, including one at the Third Tier of Heavenly Persons, but now departed with the ancestors; the current strongest in the clan was Mu Anyan.

This person solemnly greeted Ji Jingqiu with ancestral rites, through Spirit Communication, Ji Jingqiu learned that this person was surprisingly practicing the Mute Zen of the World Venerable Lineage.

The longer one cultivates this Divine Skill, the greater the power.

Mu Chantian senior obtained this method’s cultivation style from the heritage of the World Venerable of the Supreme True Buddha Sect.

Afterward.

Mu Tianrui was restrained and imprisoned in the depths of the ancestral mansion, implicating his entire lineage.

As for other Heavenly Persons, they remained in a state of crime-serving merit, restricted personal freedom, stripped of clan rights, though still maintaining a degree of Heavenly Person dignity.

According to Mu Xuanying, the Mu family could not withstand turmoil; regardless of which side won this battle, the outcome would be roughly the same.

Mu Xuanying and Mu Tianxiang first suppressed the news of the World Venerable heir’s return and then, under their respective names, gathered Mu Family disciples at the ancestral house.

Everyone thought the superior had been decided between the two lineages, but upon gathering at the ancestral house, Mu Tianxiang and Mu Anyan personally acted, not even sparing the other Heavenly Persons.

Conducting careful inspections, searching for other Heavenly Demon adherents, especially those who were close to Mu Xuantong previously.

Ultimately, they made grim faces upon discovering a few Heavenly Demon adherents within the Mu family’s side lineage!

They intended to question them, but the Divine Power within the few suddenly began to spontaneously combust, even the intervention of Heavenly Persons was futile due to deep associations, ultimately dying in great agony.

Mu Xuanying used the tragic state of these individuals as an example, warning the clan members harshly, this is the result of consorting with the Four Demons, forsaking the ancestors.

For a moment, unease, panic, and heaviness shrouded the Mu family.

At this moment, Mu Xuanying took the chance to inform everyone that the World Venerable heir was confirmed, someone had mastered the Supreme Visualization Map of the ancestors and received the recognition of the ancestral Divine Weapon.

This news immediately caused a sensation, shifting everyone’s attention and sweeping away the prior gloomy and uneasy atmosphere.

...

That night, Ji Jingqiu meditated in the ancestral house where Marshal Mu once resided.

The Green Lamp concealed in the Void had already bound to him and constantly surrounded him.

Now, the Heart Moon on his brow slowly bloomed.

What exactly was this Heart Moon?

Even Hel couldn’t figure it out and was unclear whether he had activated the Spirit Secret Storehouse.

Within it, his Divine Sense, Wisdom Light, Divine, Innate Divine Power, and even Power of the Spirit were all intertwined.
