Ch 14: One Year
“So, that Lord position?” As Chu Mo was sent to the entrance of the Jiangnan Martial Academy’s library, Ji Xiaolan couldn’t help but ask.
He felt his scalp tingle, what is this… Why don’t you ask? Are you deliberately training him, or do you really not care!
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like the other party didn’t care at all…
Ji Xiaolan couldn’t accept it. The position of Lord of the World Society, which he regarded as a treasure, was disdained and discarded like a worn shoe by the other party???
Heaven knows, three months ago, when he received the news from Chen Baisheng that another Grandmaster had joined, he had already thought of dozens of ways to give this person a hard time!
The position of Lord was definitely not something he could give up, but Honorary Grand Elder, Supreme Elder… these were definitely not a problem! He planned to give the other party a blow to the head first, and then give them a sweet treat. Moreover, the other party was young, so he could wait for him to succeed after a hundred years…
As a result… the opening was a disastrous defeat, and the plan collapsed directly!
But the problem was that although the plan had failed… how did it seem that the position of Lord would still end up in his hands in the end?!
“If I issue orders through you, will the World Society refuse to obey?” Chu Mo glanced at Ji Xiaolan with some curiosity.
Ji Xiaolan: “……”
It seemed… that was indeed unlikely!
At this moment, Ji Xiaolan couldn’t say anything. Indeed, the other party didn’t need to be the Lord… because the other party had already risen above the Lord, usurping all the power of the World Society through him.
Ji Xiaolan, who was well-versed in poetry and books, instantly locked onto a similar case in history: Cao Cao’s control of the emperor to command the nobles during the Three Kingdoms period! But when he thought that he was the emperor, Ji Xiaolan really couldn’t hold back.
“I understand.” In the end, Ji Xiaolan could only spit out these four words with difficulty.
Chu Mo revealed an inscrutable expression, told Zhao Ruchen to guard outside the door, and then entered the martial arts library.
He looked at the rows of books and raised his eyebrows slightly, “So many… Wasn’t it said that there were only a few dozen books, including Innate ones?”
With confusion, he flipped through a few books, and Chu Mo’s expression became strange. Because in addition to various formed martial arts techniques, there were also many that talked about the fundamentals of martial arts…
For example, Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian teachings!
It was said that there was a replica of the original version of the Dao De Jing… Buddhist scriptures written by Bodhidharma… and a small portion of things related to history.
However, Chu Mo discovered that many of the historical documents here didn’t match the history he had seen in the main world’s main plane, which was compiled based on the memories of Heroic Spirits…
The outrageous thing was that the history that was blindly compiled by the Heroic Spirits seemed to be more reliable than the history circulating in this era…
Many historical documents circulating in this world had obviously undergone a lot of modification… For those transcendent powers that were prevalent in ancient times, the historical documents were either obscured as much as possible, or simply ignored…
“The imperial court deliberately did it… or!” One idea after another flashed through Chu Mo’s mind, but in the end, he shook his head.
The imperial court couldn’t do it. Even if the imperial court could change all the official documents, how could it change the folk rumors and records? But the current problem was that they had all been changed…
This was like… his Taizu Long Fist being changed! They were all the kind of incredible things that even the imperial court couldn’t do… Perhaps…
Chu Mo didn’t dwell on it, put down the historical documents, and began to look at other content.
Suddenly, Chu Mo found a surprise, which was the martial arts foundation that was jointly written by the martial arts masters of the world after Emperor Chengzhu of the previous dynasty established the world, in order to prove the legitimacy of his rule.
“However, looking at the traces of flipping through on this, no one has read it… In such a large library? I’m afraid only Innate and Grandmaster methods are often read.” Chu Mo sighed quietly.
He flipped through the martial arts foundation. At first glance, the content on it seemed very superficial, but upon careful examination, one could feel a kind of profoundness.
The Great Dao is simple! It was precisely because it had reached the extreme and involved the Great Dao that it looked so ordinary!
โโโ
However, these thick dozen or so books were placed in the corner and covered with a thick layer of dust. It seemed that no one even deliberately maintained them…
If it weren’t for the fact that the material of these books was very special, Chu Mo suspected that they might have rotted when he picked them up…
“The Demon Qing is indeed like, a cow chewing on peony! Not knowing what is truly good.” Chu Mo exhaled lightly, his expression becoming serious. He prepared to memorize all of these things first, and then use lifespan to spend money to learn.
After the brief confrontation with Ji Xiaolan, he had truly realized… that he might have really set foot on the end of the world!
If he wanted to go further next, he might need to break the limits of the world… The difficulty of this was naturally indescribable!
Chu Mo had previously discovered that there was no progress after using demon lifespan to spend money, so he basically confirmed that he might have digested all of his own foundations, thus reaching the extreme.
For him, the demon seeds condensed by ordinary demons were almost useless, and the Face Changing Great Art could no longer increase his spiritual power in the slightest… All the knowledge had also been transformed into nourishment for the two great fist intents!
Therefore, Chu Mo could only learn first, so that his brain could be enriched again… and then see if he could use spending money to deduce the knowledge he had obtained, so as to explore a path forward.
If this still didn’t work, Chu Mo said that he would also accept it, massacre all the demons in the world, and then he could consider returning.
“Lifespan points… give me full points!!!”
Time flew by quickly.
Spring went and summer came, summer went and autumn came.
The leaves fell one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
โโโ
Inside the Jiangnan Martial Academy’s library.
“Young Master, you’ve grown another year older.” Zhao Ruchen looked at the handsome young man with a straight and slender figure in front of him, and a look of relief and joy appeared in his eyes.
Chu Mo was wearing a Confucian robe, his back was straight, and his height was much higher than it had been a year ago, but the most important thing was his temperament, which revealed sharpness in its gentleness.
Many people who saw Chu Mo for the first time didn’t think that he was less than ten years old. They felt that he was already twelve or thirteen years old. In ancient times, twelve or thirteen years old, although he couldn’t be considered an adult, he definitely couldn’t be regarded as a child. In many places, this age was already married.
Now, some people even suspected that he was Ji Xiaolan’s son… because that kind of nobility was not something that ordinary people could have. There was even a Lin surname official who proposed marriage to Ji Xiaolan for his daughter…
Of course, Ji Xiaolan hurriedly explained… How dare he take advantage of this little ancestor! And make decisions for this little ancestor, arranging a marriage? Wouldn’t his head be chopped off afterward?!
However, after Chu Mo heard that the daughter of that Lin surname official was called Lin Daiyu, his heart was still quite subtle. He went to check it out and found… that there really was a Jia family and the like in Jiangnan.
Of course, Chu Mo only paid attention to it and didn’t plan to intervene in whether it was a Dream of the Red Chamber or not. And pay attention to whether he was going to get married or not…
He was a man who was going to massacre all the demons in the world… How could he have the leisure to engage in some Dream of the Red Chamber version of romance!
