Ch 281: Emergence from Seclusion! The Pinnacle of Mortality
Chaoge City.
Great Shang Imperial Palace.
“Sage reincarnation…” Emperor Xin mused, then suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with mockery, anger, and murderous intent.
“Although I have never been to Chen Tang Pass, they wouldn’t treat me like this…fool me like I’m an idiot, would they?”
Emperor Xin simply didn’t believe it. After all, he was a Great Shang Emperor who had received a formal imperial education and ultimately ascended the throne. Therefore, he was very certain that there had never been a case of a sage’s death since ancient times…
If they didn’t die, how could there be a sage’s reincarnation? However…Emperor Xin was quite powerful, so he could confirm that a sage had indeed appeared there. After all, that aura had not completely dissipated even now…
“Not so!” Wen Zhong suddenly said, his face grave, “Your Majesty, my master…has communicated with me! Perhaps that person…now, or even in the past, has not become a sage, but perhaps will in the future…Moreover, even if he cannot become a sage, he will certainly be an extremely special individual.”
Wen Zhong was a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect and held a high position in the Great Shang court, naturally giving him a high status within the Jie Sect. Therefore, he knew many inside secrets…
Wen Zhong’s mind was undoubtedly clear, so the more he thought about it, the more he felt fear and disbelief. Even when truly facing those sages in the past, Dao Ancestor’s attitude had never been like that…this newly born child…
Wen Zhong really couldn’t imagine what this child would become when he grew up—but the Shang dynasty definitely couldn’t afford to offend him.
Emperor Xin was stunned for a moment, “Grand Preceptor, you…”
Emperor Xin pursed his lips. He would suspect others, but he would not suspect Wen Zhong…or rather, if even Wen Zhong betrayed him, the Great Shang would probably be on the verge of collapse.
“Then…” After confirming that it was true, Emperor Xin paced back and forth several times, his expression changing several times, before making a decision, “Effective immediately, Li Jing will be transferred back…no, the sage should have arrangements for that person! If I interfere rashly…”
“Forget it, I’ll do nothing!” Emperor Xin could only sigh in the end, then issued an order with a stern expression, “Classify the information from Chen Tang Pass as a priority! No matter what happens there, I must know it immediately…”
Only in his and Wen Zhong’s room, a sound of agreement mysteriously echoed. And neither of them was surprised by this.
◈◈◈
East Sea Dragon Palace.
“…No!” The Dragon King of the East Sea’s eyes twitched uncontrollably, “Why…why would such a person…descend on the edge of our East Sea!”
Chen Tang Pass directly faced the East Sea.
The so-called Pass was meant to block disasters!
And this disaster was naturally the Dragon race…more accurately, the East Sea Sea race led by the Dragon race. They were unscrupulous, and many of them even ate humans…After Chen Tang Pass was established, human casualties decreased significantly, but friction with the East Sea still occurred from time to time.
Of course, because Chen Tang Pass was far inferior to the East Sea Dragon race, it used to have a style of swallowing insults.
But now…
“That’s not right!” The Dragon King of the East Sea suddenly woke up, horrified, “Someone! Turn the sea area near Chen Tang Pass! Into a forbidden zone. If any sea race enters and causes trouble…they can die themselves, but they must not implicate the East Sea, otherwise, their three generations will be exterminated!”
“That’s right, that’s right, even if the fishermen of Chen Tang Pass catch sea creatures…they must not be offended!”
The Dragon King of the East Sea had watched everything that had happened before, so he had a good idea of his own limitations. Even if he didn’t talk about the six sages behind Chu Mo, and that Dao Ancestor…Chu Mo himself was someone they could never afford to offend.
He even suspected that Chu Mo, who could materialize the Demon Slaying Four Swords…even if their ancestor, the strongest First Dragon of the Dragon race in ancient times, reappeared, he might not be able to win in battle.
◈◈◈
Between heaven and earth, there were also many great powerhouses who had placed their chess pieces.
For example, burying an incarnation, hiding in the city of Chen Tang Pass, waiting for Chu Mo to grow up, to see if they could get involved with Chu Mo…
Regarding this…
“…These guys! They’re really annoying.” Chu Mo’s eyes were still closed, but his divine thought probed in all directions. With his current strength, he could also be called one of the top great powerhouses below the sages…The incarnations of these great powers naturally could not avoid his perception.
If it was just one or two, Chu Mo wouldn’t bother to pay attention…but the problem was that there were already dozens of various chess pieces within a hundred miles of his home. And it was still increasing every moment…making him feel puzzled, where did so many great powers come from in the world?
If it continued to increase at this rate, he was afraid that by the time he really grew up…Chen Tang Pass would be full of cultivators, or even immortals!
Silently, Chu Mo’s cultivation obtained a slight increase again. Shaking his head, he continued to seclude himself.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
Nezha was kicking a shuttlecock in the yard. He was born extraordinary, and with one kick, it turned into a bomb, blasting the courtyard wall open.
“So boring…it’s really so boring!”
“If you really have nothing to do, you can go find your elder brother!” Lady Yin said expressionlessly while weaving clothes.
Nezha shuddered, immediately wearing a bitter face, “I don’t want to…brother hits people very hard!”
“Also…I want to go out and play…”
Lady Yin didn’t speak. Li Jing strictly forbade Nezha from going out on his own. After all, Nezha was Chu Mo’s twin brother. Who knew how close the relationship between them was? What if Nezha was kidnapped by some existence and used in some way…to cause influence or harm to Chu Mo? Even if the probability was small, Li Jing was unwilling to take the risk.
In addition, Chu Mo had been quietly staying in the house, naturally further strengthening Li Jing’s determination not to let Nezha go out…
At the same time.
Inside the room, Chu Mo slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath, his eyes carrying a hint of disappointment, “There’s no more room for improvement.”
Two years ago, he discovered that no matter how he cultivated, his strength could not be improved. In the end, he changed his attitude and switched to abandoning his cultivation, then re-cultivating…This allowed his strength to have room for improvement again! Constantly solidifying his foundation.
But now…After abandoning his cultivation and re-cultivating to the peak nine hundred and ninety-nine times, he discovered that his thousandth abandonment was of no use at all.
“But speaking of which, how strong am I now?” Chu Mo stared at his palm, lost in thought. He had no doubt that he could be truly invincible in the Quasi-Sage realm…
Simply in terms of cultivation, perhaps a Quasi-Sage could touch his previous limit, but a Quasi-Sage was almost impossible to abandon their cultivation nine hundred and ninety-nine times, cultivating to the peak each time, and then breaking through…Hmm?
“That’s not right, I remember! The Great Heavenly Emperor, seemed to have been reincarnated into the mortal world? The Jade Emperor also had this rumor, it seems that when he was reincarnated into the human world, he was called Zhang Bairen? So they also encountered a similar situation to me, after reaching the limit of their realm, wanting to use this method to go further?”
Chu Mo shook his head, throwing the messy thoughts out of his mind. This was not important…What was important was whether he could now truly rival a sage?
“Otherwise, find a sage to fight?” Chu Mo’s hands were itching. Anyway, those senior brothers and sisters had said, if there was anything, just look for them!
“Wait!” Chu Mo suddenly thought of something, “Speaking of which, the Great Heavenly Emperor said that at his peak, as the side of the Heaven…he could compete with a sage! That is to say, his strength could also be comparable to a sage?”
Chu Mo’s gaze sharpened. Then the Great Heavenly Emperor also used Primordial Qi to break through? Or…
◈◈◈
Chu Mo exhaled a breath of pure air, transforming it into another self, letting it sit in place, while his main body silently drilled into the void.
At this moment.
Within a hundred miles.
Six men and old women in various places all raised their heads.
“Did he go out…”
“So what exactly has he been doing during this time? If it’s just seclusion…with his current cultivation, one seclusion would be the end of several eras…Only a few years have passed, isn’t it a bit too early to emerge from seclusion?”
“Amazing! This time I can’t detect his cultivation at all…Completely different from the last time, could it be that this guy has made progress again during this time?”
“So…where did he go?”
“This method, I feel like it’s a bit like the Space Ancestor…no, even that guy, I can detect a bit of a clue, but this guy using this move…I can’t retrieve any trace of him! He’s much more terrifying than that Ancestor.”
After a brief thought, the six figures continued their work. Of course, only these six existences discovered it. Other great powerhouses did not discover any abnormalities…and were still working diligently.
◈◈◈
Vast Heavenly Court.
Hall of Celestial Glory.
The Great Heavenly Emperor frowned, “When will Jiang Ziya emerge from the mountain…Should I go find, Senior Brother and ask?”
“Also, that Yang Jian, that Nezha, that…”
The Great Heavenly Emperor’s expression suddenly changed, turning his head abruptly, and shouted sharply, “Who is it? How dare…”
The Great Heavenly Emperor’s words stopped abruptly. He stared blankly at Chu Mo, who had appeared out of thin air. For a moment, he only felt his scalp tingle a little…
Why did this jinx come to his place? Yes, this guy who was being watched by the six sages and even the teacher was a jinx in his eyes…After all, he couldn’t afford to offend him! And considering that he had brazenly drawn his sword against the sages before, he was obviously a top-notch troublemaker…
“…You are!” The Great Heavenly Emperor barely squeezed out a smile.
“Haotian! Come, fight me.” Chu Mo said peacefully. The Pangu Banner instantly condensed into shape above his head, and at the same time, his aura suddenly changed, as if he had merged into one with this vast world at this moment.
This was the wonderful method of the Jade Purity!
Great Heavenly Emperor: “???”
He almost exclaimed, almost mistaking the existence in front of him for the true body of the Primordial Celestial Lord…But he quickly realized that with the arrogance of the Primordial Celestial Lord, it was impossible for him to transform into Chu Mo’s appearance and come to make trouble for him.
An unimaginable, powerful offensive force swept towards the Great Heavenly Emperor. At this moment, it seemed as if endless worlds were being born, and endless worlds were being destroyed…
The greatest sound is silent.
This was an earth-shattering collision.
The Great Heavenly Emperor took several steps back, cracks appearing on his skin, and golden blood spilled out. His face showed confusion, no…was he serious?
After a brief silence, the Great Heavenly Emperor reacted. His body trembled violently with anger, gritting his teeth, and even a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, “This is too much!”
Accompanied by a roar, the Great Heavenly Emperor seemed to merge into one with the entire Heavenly Court at this moment. Palaces in various places trembled violently, and the heavenly soldiers and generals in the four directions contracted their pupils, discovering that they had naturally transformed into formation eyes one by one.
Three hundred and sixty-five All Heavenly Stars Formation!
One of the most invincible peak formation diagrams between heaven and earth!
In the past, the demon race dared to use this formation diagram to fight to the death with the Twelve Ancestral Sorcerers Formation Diagram, which had evolved into the true body of Pangu…and in the end, both perished!
“Interesting!” Chu Mo blasted out, but felt as if he had fallen into a spider web. His living space was constantly being compressed, but he became even more joyful.
Because he discovered that in the process of his battle, even if his cultivation had not broken through at this moment, a large amount of combat experience flashed in his mind at all times. Allowing him to perceive countless flaws that existed on the Great Heavenly Emperor or might appear in the future…
It was as if Chu Mo had an accelerator on his body. For every second he fought, Chu Mo could actually think for hundreds or thousands of years.
With the continuous battle, his various methods, at this moment, came easily and became more and more proficient.
◈◈◈
In Jade Purity Palace.
The Primordial Celestial Lord: “…”
The Primordial Celestial Lord pondered for a moment. He even suspected whether he had put on a disguise…and was currently making trouble for the Great Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise…
He himself felt that he couldn’t explain it!
…
“Interesting! What madness is that Primordial guy up to again…” The Master of Heaven glanced at it, retracted his gaze again, and then thought of something, glancing at it in shock again, “That’s not right…wait, this is…is that really that kid?!!”
The Master of Heaven gasped, and then became completely interested. After repeatedly examining it, he thought of something, “If I remember correctly…he seemed to have evolved my aura last time, as well as the Demon Slaying Four Swords!”
“This…”
The Master of Heaven stopped talking, but his gaze flickered uncertainly.
◈◈◈
“It seems that it’s not a coincidence!” The Lord Lao’s gaze was deep, and thoughts surged in his mind, “In this case…perhaps evolving my power…is also not…”
Then, the Lord Lao suddenly froze.
Even being detached like him, a dazed expression appeared on his face at this moment, watching with his own eyes as Chu Mo transformed his aura, then exhaled a breath, and then…actually evolved three figures out of thin air!
Although their faces were all Chu Mo’s faces, one of them had the aura of the Lord Lao, one of them had the aura of the Primordial Celestial Lord, and one of them had the aura of the Master of Heaven…
…
