Okay so Brother Li is probably a super powerful genius that either died early, or left to a higher place. I guess we'll see in due time.

Intriguing chapter, excited to see what the test holds. As a whole I am not sure how this chapter compares to the previous ones but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Glad you're enjoying the novel.

To be honest I enjoy info dumps, but I've found people complaining on similar chapters. (maybe I am just misremembering) Personally though I enjoyed the chapter.

A bit info dumpy but I like the world building, Martial Emperor Zhang sounds interesting. From the fact that he defeated not killed an entire Sect, shows that he wasn't a deranged maniac at least. The physique also sounds interesting, and at least explains Zhang Baichi's insane combat talent.

This chapter was great. Firstly confirmation that my guess was correct, good ego stroke. Secondly this Elder is actually intelligent and not trashy. Thirdly special constitution time! Can't wait for the next chapter, thank you very much for the chapter.

I am a bit confused, this is Zhao Wuji's diary. Was something not clear???

Glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Well if you want my reasoning as the author. It may seem like a short time has passed as the reader, and for even I the author, but in novel time. Mo Xiaowen and Old Ox have been meeting each other every day for almost a year. The only people they speak to in the Sect and in general (besides business) is each other. As well as the Senior Brother Old Ox has a sense of responsibility for Mo Xiaowen. While Old Ox is somewhat naive at times I hope I didn't really portray him as such. The red beam is somewhat relevant but that will be explained much later with the vague plan I currently have, but you've been pretty close in your theories.

The legendary Whack-A-Mole technique and the deluxe edition at that? If he isn't a spy then who is? The Sect Master? He's obviously a foreign cultivator! Thanks for the chapter.
