Chapter 6101: Jie Tian’s Father, Jie Mubai

“Master, you are...”

Baili Zilin stared at the mysterious world spiritist in shock. He had once seen this face on the information the Netherworld Sect had on the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s top experts.

The mysterious world spiritist had been the strongest prodigy of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion before Jie Ranqing’s meteoric rise, a figure who dominated an era in the world of cultivation.

His name was Jie Mubai, and he was Jie Tian’s father.

“Does young master Zilin not know my true identity?” Jie Mubai asked.

“Master, Lord Baili has promised not to divulge your identity to anyone when you decided to work with our Netherworld Sect. The only ones who know your identity in the Netherworld Sect are Lord Baili and I, until now,” Jimo Qianzhou replied.

“I didn’t expect master to be the famous Elder Jie Mubai. Elder, please pardon me for my earlier disrespect.” Baili Zilin, despite not having fully recovered, stood up and bowed deeply.

“You may spare with the ceremony, young master Zilin. You have yet to fully recover.”

With a flick of his fingers, Jie Mubai released a surge of spirit power that held down Baili Zilin, stopping the latter from making any huge movements.

“I could have left my name on the highest peak of the Luck Saint Realm, but I opted for the key to the Luck Saint Realm instead, allowing me to manually manifest and monopolize it. I received less luck energy, but I reaped more from it over time. The luck energy played a huge role in how I became a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist at my age,” Jie Mubai said.

“Does that mean that you’re the reason behind the Luck Saint Realm’s disappearance?” Jimo Qianzhou asked.

“You can say so.” Jie Mubai nodded.

“Haha! I heard Jie Ranqing was looking forward to entering the Luck Saint Realm to obtain the strongest luck energy and achieve what her father, Jie Tianran, failed at, but the realm has never appeared since. So, you’re the one who has kept it from appearing, robbing her of her chance to challenge it. It turns out that you’re the strongest one in the end.

“Back then, many people speculated that your talent was beneath Jie Tianran’s because you failed to leave your name on the Luck Saint Realm’s peak, but in truth, you have already gained control of the Luck Saint Realm. That’s a feat surpassing Jie Tianran’s!

“Now that Jie Ranqing has fallen, you are now the strongest world spiritist in the world! It’s only a matter of time before you surpass Jie Tianran and gain control of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion!” Jimo Qianzhou exclaimed.

But Jie Mubai waved his hand, saying, “I merely chose a different path; that doesn’t mean that the Luck Saint Realm is fully under my control. That said, I do have a deep understanding of the Luck Saint Realm. Given young master Zilin’s talent, I’m certain he can leave his name on the Luck Saint Realm’s highest peak with my guidance.

“Through many years of observation, I have a clue to obtaining the strongest luck energy, but that would mean passing down my fortuitous encounter to young master Zilin.”

Jie Mubai looked at Jimo Qianzhou, and the latter felt immensely pressured.

“Master, I’ll discuss this matter with Lord Baili once he emerges from his closed-door training,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

“I’ve said I don’t have full control over the Luck Saint Realm; I merely boast a greater understanding of it. I can’t dictate when it appears. I still have to follow its rules. Speaking of which, it’s about time for the Luck Saint Realm to appear, and I plan on entering.

“However, I’ll refrain if young master Zilin wishes to give it a try. I’ll let the Luck Saint Realm appear normally so that you can enter,” Jie Mubai said.

“Wouldn’t the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion send its experts in if it appears normally? Our Netherworld Sect doesn’t fear anyone, but our lords are currently in closed-door cultivation, so we are far from being at our strongest at the moment,” Jimo QIanzhou asked.

“Don’t forget that I’m from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion too. Before entering God’s Era, Jie Tianran ordered our experts to guard the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, and they are not to leave their positions till he returns. Similar orders were issued within the other powers too. So, this is a rare opportunity.

“I can also tell you that the rumors about whoever reaching the peak of God’s Era can be conferred a true god isn’t a lie. The power contained within God’s Era can decide the next ruler of the world of cultivation.

“Jie Tianran might have taken the lead in God’s Era, but it won’t be easy to obtain the power within God’s Era. The dust has yet to settle, and I believe young master Zilin stands a fighting chance. Who can rival young master Zilin if he obtains the strongest luck energy inside the Luck Saint Realm? Chu Feng can’t, and neither can his world spirit.

“If no junior can pull it off, it’s even more unlikely that any in the older generation can do it.

“I know that the Netherworld Sect has its own plans, but your goal for nurturing the Netherworld Embryo is to attain greater power, and the power that can be obtained from God’s Era is beyond imagination. Do you really not intend to compete?” Jie Mubai asked.

Jimo Qianzhou silently glanced at Baili Zilin.

Baili Zilin didn’t say a word, but his eyes gleamed expectantly.

Seeing that, Jimo Qianzhou turned to Jie Mubai and asked, “If young master Zilin wishes to challenge the strongest luck energy, is the only option to allow the Luck Saint Realm to appear normally?”

“That’s right. I don’t control the Luck Saint Realm nor the luck energy. If you wish to challenge the strongest luck energy, I’ll have to revert the Luck Saint Realm to its normal state, but that would mean losing my fortuitous encounter,” Jie Mubai said.

“Chu Feng will surely enter the Luck Saint Realm if it reverts to normal, right?” Jimo Qianzhou voiced his concern.

“I have my ways to ensure that no one except for young master Zilin leaves their name on the highest peak. Not even Chu Feng can circumvent my means,” Jie Mubai replied.

“Are you confident?” Jimo Qianzhou was still worried.

It was not that he didn’t trust Jie Mubai but that Chu Feng had always performed feats that shattered common sense, not to mention that he had just confirmed that Master Nine Zenith was backing Chu Feng.

They had to be doubly wary when dealing with Chu Feng.

“I said that he can’t do it,” Jie Mubai replied affirmatively.

Jimo Qianzhou clenched his teeth.

“Master, we have worked together for so long that I see you as family. I know the Luck Saint Realm is an important fortuitous encounter, and I am grateful you’re willing to give it up to young master Zilin. Your sacrifice won’t be in vain. Please tell me if there’s anything you need, and I’ll do my best to fulfill your request. If it’s beyond my means to fulfill, our Netherworld Sect will not accept such an exorbitant gift,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

He was hesitant because he knew Jie Mubai wouldn’t help them for free; the latter would use this to get something big out of them. But he also knew that this was a huge opportunity.

Jie Mubai took out a scroll and passed it to Jimo Qianzhou.

After looking through the scroll, Jimo Qianzhou was moved to tears. “Master, you are truly doing this for young master Zilin’s good!”

But Jie Mubai chuckled softly, saying, “I believe in fair exchanges. This only covers the opening fee. After young master Zilin leaves his name on the peak, I’ll hand you two more lists and tell you the method to clearing the challenge and obtaining the strongest luck energy.

“The first list has to be settled on the spot, and the second can be settled after young master Zilin obtains the strongest luck energy. If young master Zilin fails, I won’t collect the items on the second list either, though that’s unlikely to happen.”

Jimo Qianzhou’s smile vanished. He should have known that Jie Mubai wouldn’t be so good-hearted as to demand so little out of them. It turned out that the simple list was nothing more than an appetizer; there were two more to go.

And the latter two lists were likely to be much harsher.
