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!"
"Hmph, no need to ponder, he's always the one. Heaven knows how many people he managed to offend when his parents were still alive! Now it's time for his retribution!"
"By my estimates, the Immortal Martial Continent has already been preliminarily overrun by the demon race. Those who are sent first as scouts will face perilous danger! Mo Hao's fate is sealed!"
"Hmph, a mere wastrel who has been nurtured with pills. He should have met his end long ago; his very existence is a squandering of cultivation resources!"
"Had I been gifted the resources his parents lavished upon him, I would have ascended to the Nirvana Peering realm by now!"
Another chimed in with a savage laugh, "I heard that today is Mo Hao's birthday, yet he's being dispatched to face his demise. Haha, the irony is killing me with laughter!"
Mo Hao was a notorious dandy within the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect.
Shielded by the Mo Clan and his parents, Mo Hao had carried himself with unbridled arrogance for a century, antagonizing almost everyone within his reach.
His cultivation base had been artificially boosted through the use of pills by his parents. Though proclaimed to be at the Early-stage Transcendence realm, it was actually somewhat below that level.
When the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect sustained grievous losses on the frontlines, including a significant portion of the Mo Clan, Mo Hao's parents were among the casualties. In a flash, Mo Hao's life was upturned, transforming him from a haughty young master into a forlorn and destitute figure.
Those whom he had wronged in the past began to seek retribution one by one.
Once shielded by his parents' merits, Mo Hao had been spared from conscription into the war. Now, however, he found himself forcibly dispatched to the Immortal Martial Continent, facing what many deemed a certain death!
For the remainder of the Northern Dipper Immortal Sect, this turn of events was a highly anticipated and welcome development!
At that moment, Mo Hao stood bewildered among the throng, the words of Sect Leader Yu Buhe utterly failing to register with him. 'Wha, what's going on?'
'Did I truly awaken at the age of one hundred?'
'And what is this system? What do acting pretentiously and proving someone wrong even mean? How did these thoughts find their way into my Sea of Consciousness!?'
'What are all these foreign memories? Airplanes? Cars? Computers?'
Just moments prior, a gender-neutral voice had suddenly resounded within his Sea of Consciousness, proclaiming that he had lived for a full hundred years, thereby formally activating a mysterious system and unlocking his sealed memories!
Then, a deluge of memories inundated his mind.
These images, both unfamiliar yet somehow known, brought a profound shock to Mo Hao's very core.
For they originated from an entirely different realm, a world known as the Sky Blue Star...
Subsequently, the gender-neutral voice sounded again, informing him that he had bound the 'Fancy Pretentious Super God System'. By acting with unabashed arrogance and demonstrating superiority over others, he could earn Pretentious Points.
These could then be exchanged for 'Wealth, Companions, Methods, and Land' within the system itself!
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.
