Chapter 410: Mo Yuqian’s Sense of Crisis

Mo Yufan’s expression grew uglier. "I still think you’re exaggerating. A World where the Laws are incomplete, its rules fragmented and broken... any genius cultivated here would be nothing more than an uncivilized native. Ignorant and unenlightened. How could someone like that be so heaven-defying?"

Mo Yuqian sneered and said, "Let’s go to the Thirty-Sixth Layer and see for ourselves. We won’t reveal our identities or show any killing intent; that way, we’ll still have an escape route. As for why I’m so sure of my judgment, since the Celestial Secret Divine Son could instantly kill Mo Yuqiu and the others, do you really think Mo Yuyan would’ve had the chance to send a Soul transmission?

"The only reason she managed to send it is that he probably let her do it on purpose. He’s waiting for us to come for revenge, lying in wait to continue his slaughter."

Mo Yuxi said in a low voice, "Qianqian, I believed some of what you said before, but now you’re just being an alarmist. Our Battle Power is approaching Breaking Seven. Even if his mere Battle Power is close to eight, and even if he is as heaven-defying as you claim, there’s no way he can do anything to us.

"Besides, we’re already at the Middle Stage of Sword Void Three Transformations. In this Realm, we’re second to none among the younger generation of this entire World, aren’t we? I doubt there are many whose Realm is higher than ours. A higher Realm completely compensates for any deficit in Battle Power."

Mo Yuqian said no more on the matter. "We were heading to the Thirty-Sixth Layer anyway. A Heaven and Earth Mutated Dao Fire is said to be emerging there. It would be good to take a look."

Mo Yuxi said, "Fine, let’s go. And while we’re there, we can get a good look at just how ’impressive’ that damn Celestial Secret Divine Son is!"

Mo Yuqian’s face darkened. "If you insist on that attitude, we’ll go our separate ways. If you die, I will not avenge you!"

Upon hearing this, both Mo Yuxi and Mo Yufan’s faces flushed red with an anger so intense it was nearly uncontrollable, on the verge of erupting.

"You’ve gone too far!"

Mo Yuxi said coldly.

"Gone too far? I think you’re the one who fails to recognize the current reality. Just think about it. Why is his Battle Power close to eight, while my Battle Power is Breaking Seven, yet the two of you haven’t even reached the Breaking Seven level? In the end, it’s because during the dawn of this World, he gained the upper hand in the contest of Life Charts, while we were left at a disadvantage.

"At the dawn of a new World, such an advantage may not decide the entire future, but it’s enough to prove that in this early stage, our Life Charts are weaker than his. If you don’t learn to seek good fortune and avoid calamity, to take your enemies seriously, then your road ahead will be incredibly difficult.

"Look at how that peerless Little Peacock King of the Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage cultivates. Then look at how Divine Son Gleyun of the Celestial Spirit Race conducts himself. If you were to study them carefully, you would realize their success is no mere coincidence!"

Mo Yuqian took a deep breath, her words spoken with earnest gravity.

This time, both Mo Yuxi and Mo Yufan finally seemed to take her words to heart, and they fell silent.

"To be honest, when Mo Yuyan and the other two died, I actually felt a sense of relief. I wasn’t sad. This new World is too cruel. I warned them no less than three times, but they never listened. With their dispositions, even if they hadn’t died this time, they would have met a grim fate eventually. I just never imagined their deaths would come so soon.

"Death is a release for them. Their way was unsuited for the Cultivation Laws of this land. They walked a crooked path, and I was powerless to pull them back."

Mo Yuqian let out a long sigh, and the aura of Dao Fire in her eyes completely extinguished.

In truth, she was speaking these words to convince herself—because, just like Mo Yufan and Mo Yuxi, she also could not let go of the intense hatred in her heart.

Thus, as she was persuading them, she was also constantly warning herself: be calm, be composed, handle this with a clear head.

After speaking, she felt a sense of release. ’My own sister... am I truly unwilling to avenge her? Am I not furious that she was killed?’

’How could that be possible?’

’But can a Saintess who can’t even control her own anger and killing intent truly be called a Saintess?’

"Your words have chilled my heart. We are Cultivators—if we are this preoccupied with worry, can we still be called a Saint Son and Saintess? If we become too timid, if hesitation becomes our instinct, we will never accomplish anything great."

Mo Yuxi took a deep breath, but he ultimately refused to accept Mo Yuqian’s reasoning.

Mo Yufan, on the other hand, hesitated, uncertain of which side to choose.

After a long moment, he clapped Mo Yuxi on the shoulder and said, "This time, I’m siding with Qianqian, for one reason only: she is better than us in every respect—she always has been, ever since we were children. So, I believe an exceptional person must also have exceptional judgment. I don’t think this is cowardice. It’s wisdom, foresight, and a different kind of courage.

"Given the bond between Qianqian and Yanyan, do you really think Qianqian isn’t heartbroken? She’s just better at controlling her emotions than we are. We, as their clan brothers, are grief-stricken and overwhelmed by furious killing intent. Can you even imagine how enraged Qianqian must be?

"When she explains all this, she isn’t just trying to convince us; she’s trying to convince herself.

"This World has only just restarted. There are plenty of opportunities. We don’t need to be rash. To know how heaven-defying our opponent is and still charge in recklessly—that would be just plain stupid!"

Mo Yuxi sneered, his resolve hardening. "If you’re too scared, I’ll go alone. Let’s just go our separate ways! Don’t follow me. I would be ashamed to be seen with you! Besides, if I die, it will be because my skills were lacking and my power was insufficient! I would have no regrets. To die avenging Yanyan—I would be able to rest in peace!"

With that, Mo Yuxi flicked his sleeve, snorted in anger, and stormed away.

And so, their once-perfect trio was finally broken over this matter.

Mo Yuxi left, but Mo Yufan did not follow him.

Mo Yuqian didn’t move to follow either.

"He’s just a clan brother, and even he is this determined... Qianqian, are you... are you really not going to make a move?"

Mo Yufan clearly still wanted to follow him.

Mo Yuqian shook her head. "What would you say if I told you that the mere thought of a life-or-death battle with him sends a chill down my spine?"

Mo Yufan’s pupils contracted sharply. "It’s already that serious?"

Mo Yuqian nodded. "Though the feeling is faint, you know my grasp of the Celestial Dao is quite precise. This Celestial Secret Divine Son is absolutely favored by the Celestial Dao. I fear that in the future, he will become the most supreme existence among all Divine Sons and Divine Ladies. I am unwilling to make an enemy of such a person—of course, if an opportunity arises, I wouldn’t mind backstabbing him a few times. But an open confrontation... forget it."

Mo Yufan’s heart and soul trembled, and he was deeply shaken.
