Chu Chuan finally understood what Chu Jie wanted to become and what she needed to face in order to achieve her goal.

After a short walk, he found that rumors were everywhere, and they were mostly negative.

“Let’s go back to our seats. You probably won’t be allowed to challenge others today,” Mu Qi said to them.

Xiao Li didn’t mind. She didn’t like fighting with people. She just waited every day for this event to be over, so she could go back and eat.

Junior Sister Xiao Li, how many people have you fought here?” Mu Qi asked on the way.

“Just a few. They said they’d give me spirit stones if I won, ” Xiao Li said.

“Did you earn a lot of spirit stones?” Mu Qi asked.

Xiao Li reached for her storage magic treasure. “These are for buying gifts for

Senior Brother Jiang.”

“Jiang Hao?” Mu Qi asked.

Xiao Li nodded.

Mu Qi smiled. “Don’t buy anything too expensive. Considering Junior Brother

Jiang’s personality, he’ll find it troublesome if it’s too valuable.”

Xiao Li’s mind was full of thoughts about buying desserts for Jiang Hao. She didn’t know what Senior Brother Mu Qi meant by “too valuable.”

Son, the people from the Heavenly Note Sect all arrived in their designated area.

The Peak Master of the Law Enforcement Peak, Cheng Liu, and the Cliff Master of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Ku Wu Chang, were both on guard.

“Whether it turns out good or bad, we can’t avoid whatever happens today. I don’t know what might happen,” Cheng Liu said.

“The Clear Sky School and other formidable sects are here too. It would affect us too much, I think,” said Ku Wu Chang.

Cheng Liu sighed and looked at Chu Chuan and Xiao Li. “These two disciples of yours are quite remarkable.”

Ku Wu Chang frowned. Xiao Li indeed was promising, but..

He shook his head and didn’t say anything more. He wanted to teach her many things, but it was a pity she couldn’t pay attention.

He then turned to look at Liu Xingchen. “Your disciple is also quite unique.

Although others are not lacking in talent, he seems to be different.”

“Different?” Cheng Liu smiled. “If you knew his reason for joining the Heavenly Note Sect, you would find him even more unique.”

This caught the attention of everyone, including the Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, who hadn’t spoken yet.

Cheng Liu smiled. “I still remember his reason. He said he was bored and wanted to join a demonic sect.”

While they were talking, there was a commotion nearby.

“Let me go! If I stay here, I’ll definitely die. They want to harvest us to build their foundation. Let me go!”

They saw a young man struggling against two people who were restraining him. They seemed to be fellow sect members.

They tried to persuade him. “Junior Brother, don’t be like this. How could the Bright Moon Sect harm us? I think they are about to explain everything. Just calm down.”

“Calm down?! They clearly want to smother us. Let me go! If you don’t leave, you’ll die, but I don’t want to die,” the young man said frantically.

At this moment, a disciple of the Bright Moon Sect walked over to them. He looked at the three people. “What are you doing?”

“Our Junior Brother believes in rumors too easily. If you explain things to him, everything will be fine. He still trusts you deep down,” said one of the senior disciples who was holding onto the struggling junior.

The Bright Moon Sect disciple nodded. “I see. Come with me then. I’ll explain it to you.”

“But I…” Before the young man could speak, the Bright Moon Sect disciple used his magic treasure to take them away without another word.

Mu Qi and the others watched this unfold.

“Do you think that is normal, Senior Brother?” Han Ming asked.

“If this were in our Heavenly Note Sect, these three would be a source of spirit stones.” Mu Qi shook his head and laughed.

Most of the people who chose to stay in the Bright Moon Sect could be categorized into three types. Those who believed that the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was beneficial and harmless. Others believed that the Bright Moon Sect was too powerful and didn’t dare to oppose them, so they had to go along with whatever they planned. Some others were completely clueless.

Apart from these three types, a few others were just looking for trouble.

After all, the doors of the Bright Moon Sect had never been closed, and everyone could return to the Star-Moon City every day. Why wait until now?

As more and more people gathered, everyone could sense the presence of a greater force, and they all seemed to become a part of it.

Everyone looked up at the highest seat, where all the brilliance seemed to converge. Footsteps sounded.

“She’s here,” Mu Qi said.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on the girl wearing a white gown as she slowly walked towards the highest seat.

Her face was filled with determination.

There was no one beside her. Her master had told her that everyone was there to help and support her.

When she finally succeeded, she would have to face everything alone anyway.

She Imew she couldn’t be afraid. She must overcome her weaknesses.

When she finally reached the highest seat, onlookers could finally see her clearly.

At this moment, it seemed like she could understand the emotions of everyone below.

Doubt, mockery, anger, disdain, admiration, envy, jealousy, joy, encouragement, nervousness, anticipation, and various others. All eyes were fixed on her.

As she looked at the sea of faces, she felt nervous.

She almost wanted to step back.

But she took a step forward and stood at a spot where everyone could see her.

At this point, she couldn’t retreat.

“Esteemed seniors and guests, I, Junior Chu Jie, greet you all,” said Chu Jie. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it could be heard clearly.

People fell silent below.

“I understand that all of you have heard the rumors. Today is the day when I am supposed to attain the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and we need your help.” She sounded grateful and determined.

“My master once told me that this is an extremely difficult path. He said he would understand if I refused because once I set foot on this path, there’s no turning back. Succeeding in this path would mean taking the responsibility of the world,” she said.

“I’m still young and inexperienced. I don’t know about many things, but I know about my own merits and qualifications. My master told me that if I succeed today, it wouldn’t be because of my qualifications or because of the Bright Moon Sect. It would be only because of the help and support from all the guests and seniors gathered here today,” said Chu Jie.

“This is the path of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. It means the blessing of heaven and earth and taking responsibility for the well-being of the whole cultivation world and the people within it. I understand that this path is incredibly difficult, but with the help of my sect, I stand here today. I only ask for one request from all of you.”

Chu Jie bowed respectfully. Her voice resonated throughout the entire Bright

Moon Sect. “Please, esteemed seniors, help me reach the Heavenly Dao

Foundation establishment.”

As her words fell, the entire Bright Moon Sect was shaken. A great force formed, and it began to rise around Chu Jie.

Below, the multitude of people also felt the shock. Chu Jie’s words gave them a clear understanding for the first time.

Chu Chuan breathed rapidly. He realized that the responsibility Chu Jie carried on her shoulders far exceeded his expectations..
