Ch 159: First Meeting with Lishan Laomu! Nüwa? Demon Ancestor?!
After a short period of time equivalent to half an incense stick burning.
Chu Mo stood in the heavens, expressionlessly surveying the scattered corpses on Mount Tai.
“Over three hundred bodies… Considering those who were completely pulverized before, leaving no remains, perhaps five or six hundred experts at the Human Immortal Realm have died?”
Chu Mo felt the power of the Heroic Spirit Interference slowly dissipate, exhaling a long breath, a complex look flashing in his eyes, followed by some confusion, “But those who attacked us this time don’t all seem to be experts at the Fifth Realm of Human Immortal?”
Those who were swept out of the void at the start by Chu Mo and Yang Jian were naturally all top-tier tycoons who had forcibly suppressed their cultivation to the Fifth Realm of Human Immortal… But the immortals who appeared after the first batch were much weaker in realm. There were even moments when Chu Mo suspected whether he had swept the wrong people…
This wasn’t exactly a bad thing either. If all six hundred-plus were experts at the peak of the Fifth Realm of Human Immortal… Even with Chu Mo still under the influence of Heroic Spirit Interference, and possessing the Netherworld Emperor and a small portion of the Heavenly Emperor’s Authority, although he would still have been confident in achieving final victory, he definitely couldn’t have won so easily.
Yang Jian gave Chu Mo a strange look, “Why would they all be at the Fifth Realm? Human Immortal, Human Immortal, once one sets foot in this realm, they are a true immortal… Ordinary people can ascend upon reaching this realm. It’s just that the Fifth Realm of Human Immortal is the limit that the Lower Realm can tolerate.”
Countless thoughts surged in Chu Mo’s mind. He didn’t say much, only lightly waving his sleeve, his Confucian Qi evolving into a terrifying millstone, constantly crushing the bodies of these experts, causing them to completely explode, turning into patches of immortal mist that diffused outwards.
Time passed bit by bit.
Chu Mo sensed that subtle changes were occurring in this world. It seemed that the energy of the world itself was sufficient to allow experts at the First Realm of Human Immortal to be born, and at the same time… the limit of experts it could tolerate had also become the Sixth Realm of Human Immortal?
His body trembled slightly, and Chu Mo instantly completed a breakthrough, allocating points as he went.
He had spent three thousand years cultivating to the peak of the Sixth Realm of Human Immortal, then abandoned his cultivation again, spending nearly forty thousand years to complete his tenth re-cultivation.
“Now, there’s really a feeling of… not being able to spend it all.” Chu Mo looked at his balance, calculated in the hundreds of millions, his mood complex.
By slaying these immortals and gods, their lifespans were naturally obtained by Chu Mo. Six hundred immortals, even if some of them were killed by Yang Jian… still brought him over a hundred million Divine Lifespan.
“What?” Yang Jian gave Chu Mo a puzzled look, then sensed something with his Heavenly Eye, his heart somewhat shocked, but he didn’t say much. Chu Mo’s cultivation breakthrough speed was extremely fast; he was already used to it…
He gazed in the direction of the sky, exhaling after a long time, “These immortals… should only have played a supporting role! The world’s upgrade should be related to the Jade Emperor’s lost hand.”
“Just one hand like that… Then according to this, if I were to completely kill the Jade Emperor! Wouldn’t that mean…” Chu Mo’s eyes burned.
“If all the immortals and Buddhas of the heavens were buried, it might allow this world to give birth to experts at the Eighth Realm of Human Immortal, perhaps.” Yang Jian wasn’t entirely certain. He thought for a moment and added, “I’m talking about including the Jade Emperor and the Buddha.”
“That’s it?” Chu Mo’s eyelids twitched a few times. It was already possible for experts at the Sixth Realm of Human Immortal to appear now…
Yang Jian looked at Chu Mo speechlessly, softly saying, “Do you have some misunderstanding about the Heavenly Realm?”
After a brief silence, Chu Mo suddenly realized something, seriously saying, “Do you know what realm the Jade Emperor actually is?”
“The next realm after Human Immortal, probably.” Yang Jian’s voice was calm.
“How many beings at this realm are there in the entire Heavenly Realm?” Chu Mo’s voice carried a hint of dryness.
“Not many. The Buddha of the Western Paradise should be at this level, the Heavenly Emperor is at this level… Then there are the Five Emperors, but these five are in a very special situation!” Yang Jian’s brow furrowed tightly, “I suspect that these five didn’t change generations in that world-destroying calamity… But I don’t have any evidence. However, even if they didn’t, they should have paid an extremely heavy price!”
“That’s it?!” Chu Mo was completely dumbfounded. After all this, the vast Heavenly Court… apart from the Jade Emperor, everyone else was at the Human Immortal Realm? He just didn’t know which specific realm of Human Immortal!
However, after a brief period of thought, Chu Mo quickly understood.
After all, based on the current situation, the Jade Emperor was born during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song. Emperor Zhenzong was only a few hundred or a thousand years away from the present. Even if the Heavenly Realm had abundant cultivation resources and the blessing of Authority, it was impossible for it to be that absurd.
“…You don’t think that the Human Immortal Realm is very weak, do you? After the Fifth… no, more accurately, after the Sixth Realm, each realm is like a heavenly chasm! It’s impossible to cross over… uh.” Yang Jian’s words suddenly stopped, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He suddenly realized that the Human Emperor before him had forcibly broken off one of the strongest Jade Emperor’s hands. Even if there were countless coincidences, even if that one truly withdrew in the end because the Red Emperor made a move…
However, before that, the Jade Emperor was indeed able to display a corner of his peak power, willing to abandon that hand.
Chu Mo, who was able to block him, yes, only block, and only block for a few breaths, was already enough… The implications symbolized by this scene, no matter how much you overestimate it, would not be an exaggeration.
This was truly using the Fifth Realm of Human Immortal to stand shoulder to shoulder with a corner of that Great Divine Power above the Human Immortal Realm.
However, Chu Mo didn’t say anything more about this topic with Yang Jian. He looked in the direction of the south, suddenly asking, “Are you able to save your mother now?”
Yang Jian understood the meaning behind Chu Mo’s words, remaining silent for a long time before nodding, “You should be able to save White Maiden now! After all, the Jade Emperor has no way to deal with you… And having suffered heavy injuries, he will need at least several decades to recover…”
“Especially since the Buddha saw that scene, he will inevitably become wary… Although he won’t completely give up on acting against you, he will be very cautious…”
“I know.” Chu Mo glanced at Yang Jian, “Then you should be able to save your mother.”
Without waiting for Yang Jian to answer, Chu Mo’s figure disappeared. Yang Jian revealed an ambiguous expression, his gaze becoming deep, he raised his head again, gazing in the direction of the sky, countless thoughts surging in his heart.
“Second Brother.” The Third Holy Mother appeared beside Yang Jian.
Turning his head to see his younger sister, a smile appeared on Yang Jian’s face, “Yes, we’re now… going home.”
“…Okay.” The Third Holy Mother was stunned for a moment, then nodded, her eyes sparkling.
The place with family, with a mother, is home… Yang Jian’s words themselves already revealed what he was going to do next.
The Third Holy Mother suddenly thought of something, looking in the direction where Chu Mo disappeared, thousands of words stuck in her throat, and in the end, she only let out a soft sigh.
◈◈◈
Stepping out one step at a time, Chu Mo’s speed was fast to the extreme, divine light erupting, its power radiating in all directions.
Everyone along the way saw Chu Mo’s figure. Countless people excitedly prostrated themselves before Chu Mo.
Hangzhou.
Leifeng Pagoda.
“Long time no see.” Chu Mo murmured, a faint luster rising in his eyes, his brow suddenly furrowing. He spoke, “Now that I’m here, why not show yourself?”
A moment of deathly silence, a wisp of divine light flickering.
A figure appeared before Chu Mo. She had silver hair. At first glance, one could realize that she was very old, but then upon closer inspection, one would find that it was impossible to judge her age from her face.
Her face had no wrinkles at all, and she had an immortal air, possessing an indescribable temperament.
Chu Mo quietly gazed at her, “Are you here to stop me… White Maiden’s master.”
Qi Observation Method activated.
Lishan Laomu frowned slightly, deeply looking at Chu Mo. She clearly realized what Chu Mo was doing, but didn’t interfere.
Thus, a large amount of information flooded into Chu Mo’s mind.
【Name】: Lishan Laomu
【Realm】: Peak of the Fifth Realm of Human Immortal （???）
【Identity】: ???
【Divinity】: Demon Ancestor. Extremely incomplete, Nüwa?. Extremely incomplete
“???” Chu Mo repeatedly looked at it several times, confirming that he hadn’t misread, and a monstrous wave rose in his heart. Demon Ancestor… Nüwa? Wait, was it Nüwa? He vaguely remembered that there did seem to be a saying that Lishan Laomu was an Incarnation of Nüwa…
But if she was the Demon Ancestor, or rather, if she was related to demons, then did this Nüwa take the Primordial path, rather than the traditional mythological path?!
The Nüwa of the Primordial Flow had an extremely deep connection with the demon race. The orthodox Nüwa was a congenital Great God born from Heaven and Earth! She was the creator of the human race who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestor of the Creator Earth Mother God of the Divine Province.
Wait! Chu Mo forcibly calmed himself down. It shouldn’t be the real Nüwa. First of all, both Divinities were extremely incomplete. If it was the real one, the Divinity should at least be complete. Simply put, if Nüwa could have continued to live in the human world until now…
Then without a doubt, the other Three Pure Ones should also be able to survive until now…
And Yang Jian, as the Chief Direct Disciple of the Third Generation of the Primordial Celestial Lord, and with the Primordial Celestial Lord’s protectiveness… That one, if she was still alive, Yang Jian definitely wouldn’t have been in such a state before, being bullied to the extreme by the Jade Emperor, looking like a stray dog.
So, considering all the circumstances…
“What exactly is your relationship with that ancient Great God Nüwa… Are you really her Incarnation?” Chu Mo chose to directly ask to confirm.
Lishan Laomu, who was still thinking about how to answer Chu Mo, suddenly heard Chu Mo’s words, her pupils suddenly contracting, a look of astonishment and disbelief appearing on her face.
She subconsciously waved her sleeve, and a terrifying suction force came, as if to pull Chu Mo into another Grotto Heaven.
However, Chu Mo’s expression didn’t change, forcibly resisting that suction force.
He and Lishan Laomu looked at each other, the atmosphere at the scene becoming somewhat awkward.
Chu Mo lightly coughed, “White Maiden calls you Master, so you should also be considered half of my Master. I have no malice towards you, and I believe that you shouldn’t have any towards me and White Maiden either… So, can I ask you a question?”
Chu Mo was deliberately trying to get closer. He realized that if this was really an Incarnation of Nüwa, then it was very likely that she hadn’t changed generations, having lived for an extremely long time. Information that Yang Jian didn’t know, perhaps could all be obtained from her.
Considering that he would be traveling through even more ancient eras in the future, no matter how much he overestimated Lishan Laomu’s value, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
