Chapter 232: Relocating the Secret Realms

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the Putan, his physical body radiating a brilliant divine light.

Sensing carefully, he felt as if he could hear the sound of a dragon roaring from within his own body.

Having been tempered by the Dragon Race bloodline, Chen Mo's physical body also possessed a measure of the Dragon Race's miraculous nature.

The most obvious change was the increase in the power of his Qi and Blood; as Chen Mo absorbed the power of the Dragon Race bloodline, his own Qi and Blood power climbed once again.

According to his estimation, it should now be around 150 million jin.

Of course, this level of improvement was not particularly significant in terms of his overall strength; the main point was the further Mortal Transformation of his physical body.

The originally pale golden Blood Qi power had now undergone a further change, emitting a crimson-gold precious light as the Blood Qi surged and churned.

This indicated that Chen Mo's physical body had completely fused with the law power carried by the Dragon Race bloodline.

The Dragon Race is beloved by Heaven and Earth, their bloodline power incomparably formidable, capable of stirring changes in the laws through bloodline power alone.

Although Chen Mo had not fused with the Dragon Race bloodline, his physical body was already extremely formidable to begin with, and now it had devoured this portion of bloodline power.

Even if his physical body could not fully cope and required the use of other powers, the damage he would have to endure would be much less.

But this step was by no means easy; having cultivated to this point, Chen Mo had encountered a bottleneck, and wanting to break through further was not as simple as merely absorbing power.

The two Talismans came from two different factions, one of which came from the Ancestral Spirits; the Derivative Divine Weapons he had previously sold had already been purchased one after another by various factions.

Within the Small World, which was over 33,000 li wide, all kinds of Heavenly Laws filled the entire space.

Within the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, there were cultivators practicing, Martial Artists training, and naturally, many elders guiding their disciples.

The information contained within the Talismans was understood by him in an instant.

To advance his cultivation further, he had to break this shackle and let the laws of his own Small World circulate and interweave, forming a world that truly began to function.

With the power of the Mirage Sea being as it was, Chen Mo's physical body naturally possessed a stronger ability to resist normal offensive methods.

Although this level was only the most basic sign of becoming a saint through the physical body, the boost to his strength was quite significant.

In the main hall of a rather quaint courtyard, Chen Mo met Shui Qianqiu.

Unlike in the Cangxuan World, the number of Storage Rings in the Xuantian World was truly not small.

It was just that he had no use for them for the time being, and he would have to wait until he broke through the bottleneck before he could continue using these dragon scales for cultivation.

Chen Mo appeared for only two or three breaths of time before an elder took the initiative to come and lead the way, and arranged for someone to notify Shui Qianqiu and Jiang Wanliu.

They were only waiting for Chen Mo to come out of seclusion to place these Heavenly Secret Realms one after another.

With a flick of his finger, the two Talismans shattered in an instant, turning into brilliant light and vanishing.

However, the bloodline power contained within this dragon scale was still quite abundant.

Every Heavenly Law operating within Chen Mo's Small World was functioning independently.

But the impact of ordinary offensive methods on his physical body would be exempted by him by default.

To say nothing else, when facing certain Mirage Sea methods, Chen Mo could exempt and avoid them with the power of his physical body alone.

They were separated from each other, distinct and clear, like well water that does not mix with river water.

This cultivation session lasted for more than three months, consuming 10,000 points of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

His tone and demeanor were quite enthusiastic as he busily invited Chen Mo to sit down.

The heavenly treasures obtained from selling the Derivative Divine Weapons were all kept in storage for the time being, and Chen Mo could come to take them at any time.

Therefore, there were more Qi Refiners in the Xuantian World, who could naturally refine more Storage Rings.

Looking at the slightly dim crimson-gold dragon scale in his hand, even though he had used its internal power to continuously temper his physical body and fill the voids in his Small World.

His physical body naturally gave birth to miraculous properties; even without relying on his own Small World or other cultivation powers, his powerful physical body alone could influence parts of the Heavenly Laws with every gesture.

According to Chen Mo's estimation, more than 60% of the bloodline power remained within the scale.

"The distribution and placement of those eight Heavenly Secret Realms have already been discussed by us; we were just waiting for you, fellow Daoist, to come out of seclusion to place them."

The reason for this was that the geographical advantages of the Xuantian World were slightly better than those of the Cangxuan World, and it had been less eroded by the Mirage Sea.

Chen Mo did not rush back to the Ancestral Realm; he took a step out, left the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, and arrived at the Heavenly Palace.

Shui Qianqiu wore a smile and simultaneously took out a Storage Ring.

Just after stepping out of the palace, the two Talismans flew before Chen Mo.

"Fellow Daoist." Jiang Wanliu had long been sitting to the side, and seeing Chen Mo walk over, he also took the initiative to stand up and welcome him.

Ten Thousand Laws Cannot Invade, all things cannot disturb—he was, of course, far from achieving that.

Aside from the improvement in his physical body, the law power accumulated in Chen Mo's internal Small World had also reached perfection.

"Congratulations to you, fellow Daoist, for coming out of seclusion. Looking at your aura, I assume your cultivation has made further progress."

Putting away the dragon scale, Chen Mo stood up and walked out of the Hengyu Asking Dao Hall.

Even if he wanted to continue cultivating and break the current bottleneck, he would have to find a way to get some Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid first.

Only at this step could Chen Mo's path to becoming a saint through the physical body be considered to have achieved a small success in the true sense.

The other Talisman came from Shui Qianqiu; the numerous factions of the Xuantian World had already divided the ownership of the eight Heavenly Secret Realms.

Even if the law power triggered by others was not enough or not pure enough, it would almost have no effect on his physical body.

Especially Jiang Wanliu, this Spirit Severing cultivator; if he were willing, one year would be enough to refine ten thousand Storage Rings, and even if the quality was not particularly high, they would definitely be sufficient for use.

Not to mention that there were other Qi Refiners in the Xuantian World.

Thanks to the efforts of the Xuantian World, the rarity and price of Storage Rings in the Cangxuan World had now significantly decreased.

Previously, only Innate Experts had the opportunity to obtain them, but now many Post-Heaven Martial Artists could possess Storage Rings.

"We understand that moving secret realms is not an easy task and requires the consumption of quite a bit of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid. Therefore, we have prepared some heavenly treasures in advance to serve as payment."

Shui Qianqiu had a smile on his face and a kind attitude; he naturally understood that asking for help was not just a matter of opening one's mouth.

Only by bringing out sufficient payment could one show one's sincerity.

"Very well, I wonder where these Heavenly Secret Realms are intended to be placed?" Chen Mo took the Storage Ring, looked at it roughly, and immediately asked.

There were many Heaven and Earth Origin Stones and heavenly treasures inside the Storage Ring, which he could convert into Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

Although the quantity was not calculated in detail, it would definitely exceed the consumption required to shift the secret realms himself.

"We have already selected the specific locations; fellow Daoist can take a close look." Shui Qianqiu took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Chen Mo.

Inside the Jade Slip were the spatial coordinates where the Heaven and Earth secret realms needed to be placed.

A Cave Heaven Secret Realm is not a Blessed Land; a Cave Heaven Secret Realm relies on the space of the Cangxuan World to stabilize itself.

Although its placement between heaven and earth is not restricted by location, it is naturally best if one can find a relatively stable space nearby to place it.

Because of this, it will be much more convenient and easier to open a secret realm gate near that space later on.

Chen Mo took the Jade Slip and refined it, instantly becoming clear on the placement locations of these eight Heaven and Earth secret realms.

He did not need to personally rush there; through the Yijian Platform, Chen Mo only needed to stay within the Heavenly Court Secret Realm to send these eight Cave Heaven Secret Realms to any location in the Xuantian World.

"Good, leave this matter to me; at most a day or two of effort, and I will have these secret realms placed and settled."

Chen Mo spoke with a smile, then looked at Jiang Wanliu and took out a White Jade Bone Fragment.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this Mirage Spirit was obtained from the horse-headed, human-bodied Mirage Beast I hunted earlier. I see its material is extraordinary; I wonder if it can be used for artifact refining."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanliu became interested at once.

He naturally knew the ferocity of that monster; the Mirage Spirit evolved from such a Mirage Beast was definitely not an ordinary item.

If it could truly be used for artifact refining, then once the refining was successful, his own attainments in the Dao of artifacts would certainly improve as well.

"May I take this material to look at first?" Jiang Wanliu reached out his hand, and Chen Mo passed it over accordingly.

Although the White Jade Bone Fragment was no longer crystal clear, it even appeared somewhat dim.

Yet the material was still extremely special; it did not radiate any power to the outside world, nor was it affected by any external power.

Mirage Spirits are inherently very strange; some Mirage Spirits have a certain connection to the Mirage Beast itself, while others have no connection at all.

Jiang Wanliu took it and carefully examined it; it was clear that he was quite interested in this kind of material.

After all, this White Jade Bone Fragment was likely the highest-level material Jiang Wanliu had ever been able to come into contact with.

"This material can indeed be used for artifact refining, but it is too rare and uncommon; I need to ponder further on how exactly to refine it.

As for what exactly can be refined, I dare not make any assertions right now."

After Jiang Wanliu carefully examined it, he looked at Chen Mo and said in a deep voice.

"No matter, fellow Daoist can refine it boldly." Chen Mo smiled; he naturally understood the difficulty of refining this material.

If even Jiang Wanliu could not refine it, then I am afraid no one in this world could.

As for what exactly it would be refined into, or whether the refining would fail, he was not worried about that.

The worst-case scenario would be him throwing this material into the Creation Divine Pool to convert it into Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

Artifact refining is different from pill refining; even if an artifact furnace explodes, it is at most a failed refining, and the original material becomes a pile of scrap that needs to be re-refined before it can be used, so there will not be too much loss.

But if a pill furnace explodes during pill refining, or if the pill fire is too strong and damages the medicinal herbs, then one would be left with nothing.

"Good, I will definitely go all out." Seeing Chen Mo trust him so much, Jiang Wanliu became serious at once.

"I absorbed another Heavenly Court Secret Realm; within that Heavenly Court Secret Realm, there is a Godly Palace named the Wuxing Liantian Dian, which was a place used by a Great Ability during the Ancient Heavenly Court period to refine pills and artifacts.

Although that palace is now simulated and born from the Creation Mechanism, it still possesses some ancient power; fellow Daoist can carry out the refining of the treasure artifact there.

Additionally, for refining a treasure artifact of this quality, how much compensation do you require?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Oh! To think there is such a treasure land." Jiang Wanliu was quite surprised upon hearing this, then pondered slightly and said, "As for the matter of refining the treasure artifact, I dare not make any guarantees right now.

I still need to study it outside first before entering that Wuxing Liantian Dian. As for the specific compensation, we can discuss it after I have refined it."

Chen Mo nodded lightly, invoked the power of the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, and once again evolved a Passage Token.

"Fellow Daoist can enter the Heavenly Court Secret Realm holding this token; when the time comes to enter the Wuxing Liantian Dian, just call my name."

Jiang Wanliu immediately accepted the token and did not linger any longer; he bowed in salute and took his leave first, as he prepared to go and study this White Jade Bone Fragment properly.

"I will not disturb you any further; I will go back first to prepare for the matter of shifting the Cave Heaven Secret Realms." Chen Mo did not continue to stay in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm either; after exchanging a few more pleasantries with Shui Qianqiu, he also set off to leave.

"Then I will trouble you, fellow Daoist." Shui Qianqiu followed closely behind Chen Mo all the way, seeing him out of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

Returning to the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, Chen Mo took out that Storage Ring and threw all the Heaven and Earth Origin Stones and heavenly materials and earthly treasures into the Creation Divine Pool.

The Creation Power circulated, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Stones and countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures were instantly transformed into Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

Added together, there were a total of over twelve thousand drops; according to Chen Mo's estimation, he would settle the eight Cave Heaven Secret Realms each in their place.

The Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid consumed should not exceed seven thousand drops; after deducting the consumption, he could still earn over five thousand drops.

Although this quantity was not much, even a mosquito's leg is meat.

Next, he could consider refining a few more Derivative Divine Weapons to take out and sell; not only should they be sold in the Cangxuan World, but a portion could also be sold in the Xuantian World.

By doing this to further supplement the resources he had consumed, the other Mirage Spirit in his hand, after finishing charging the Transformation Pearl, could also be used to supplement the Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

After refining the Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid, Chen Mo arrived at the Yitian Dian.

The Golden Warship still stood quietly here, and the Martial Artists within those eight Cave Heaven Secret Realms, along with their relatives, had long since completely moved out; now there were only ordinary commoners within these secret realms.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged in the palace, the Blood Qi power within his body surging, and his True Qi circulating and changing, mastering this great palace.

Inside the palace, the Spatial Law condensed, and strands of order divine chains intertwined, transforming into a spatial divine bridge.

One Cave Heaven Secret Realm was lifted up; the Spatial Law within the palace had great profoundness, so even though a Cave Heaven Secret Realm was being moved, there was still no great tremor.

The Cave Heaven Secret Realm was sent into the spatial divine bridge; this divine bridge connected to another spatial coordinate within the Xuantian World.

At the very first moment the spatial divine bridge was opened, the Martial Artists of the Heavenly Palace had already sensed it.

As the force that contributed the most in the previous battle, the harvest obtained by the Heavenly Palace was naturally the greatest.

Of the eight Heaven and Earth secret realms, a full four were taken into the hands of the Heavenly Palace.

The areas where these secret realms were placed were mostly not too far from the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm itself.

It seemed the Heavenly Palace was prepared to use the Space Gate to connect these secret realms together, building them into a more vast and immense Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

"Boom—!"

The external space trembled; one Cave Heaven Secret Realm was settled, and it was only normal for the Heavenly Law to change and fluctuate.

Of course, only Martial Artists whose cultivation has reached the Innate Realm or above can perceive such fluctuations; those who have not entered the Innate Realm cannot detect the spatial changes at all.

Following the complete descent of this Cave Heaven Secret Realm, Shui Qianqiu immediately arranged for Martial Artists to enter it and take over everything within this secret realm.

As well as arranging for people to set up Arrays within the secret realm to draw in Heaven and Earth Power, allowing the secret realm to produce various kinds of natural treasures.

Chen Mo continued to transport another Cave Heaven Secret Realm; the eight Cave Heaven Secret Realms were successively placed by him in various locations across the Xuantian World.

Numerous factions in the Xuantian World also took action, beginning to thoroughly take over these secret realms.

With the eight Cave Heaven Secret Realms settled, Chen Mo was left with only over fifteen thousand points of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid in his hands.

He was just preparing to set off and leave, to first return to the Ancestral Realm.

Yet he sensed someone coming to visit, and it was none other than Bai Yuxia.

She had originally been cultivating within Absolute Sword Valley, and upon sensing that the Cave Heaven Secret Realm belonging to their Absolute Sword Valley had been placed,

Bai Yuxia immediately understood that Chen Mo must have finished his closed-door cultivation, and without the slightest hesitation, she came to seek him out at once.

Seeing that it was she who had come, Chen Mo immediately opened the gate to the Heavenly Court Secret Realm and went out personally to welcome her.
