Chapter 263: Discussion

Inside the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, Chen Mo threw the various heaven-sent treasures he had just obtained from the Ancestral Realm into the Creation Divine Pool one by one.

The Creation Power surged, and the countless heaven-sent treasures transformed rapidly, turning into the purest Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

The quantity of heaven-sent treasures Chen Mo had brought this time was extremely large, so the Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid it yielded for him was naturally quite considerable.

As these heaven-sent treasures were refined, the amount of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid he possessed surged continuously from over twenty thousand points, finally reaching sixty-three thousand points.

This amount could be called quite substantial, enough to support Chen Mo's cultivation for a considerable period.

But Chen Mo was about to head to Ju Hai City; he would stay for a while longer, but not for too long.

Chen Mo did not plan to take the Heavenly Court Secret Realm with him for the time being, leaving it stored within the Xuantian World.

His trip to Ju Hai City this time was, firstly, for cultivation, and secondly, to act as a scout to investigate the situation in Ju Hai City.

Although there was a Peerless Killing Array beside Ju Hai City, and it was guarded by a Supreme and a Great Ability, logically speaking, it should be very safe.

Furthermore, there was a vast Da Tiandi nearby, which should also be quite strong in terms of resisting the Mirage Sea.

But if he encountered a major problem, he would likely have no choice but to abandon it.

Going alone, even if a problem really did arise, he could quickly find a way to escape.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what major event has caused you to suddenly summon us all?" Shui Qianqiu stepped into the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, and upon seeing Chen Mo, he cupped his hands and asked.

The three of them had only arrived now, likely because they did not rush over immediately upon receiving the news, but instead finished their own cultivation calmly before coming.

That Jiang Wanliu would come was not outside his expectations; he was summoning many experts to discuss matters, and Jiang Wanliu, as the only Spirit Severing great cultivator, naturally had to participate.

Many experts walked into the Main Hall one after another, their gazes all fixed on Chen Mo with curiosity and doubt.

Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one; sometimes, even a little reference could be of great help to Jiang Wanliu.

That was why, in these short few years, the Cangxuan World had been able to give birth to six Heavenly Human experts in succession.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang." Chen Mo was slightly surprised to see the person who had arrived.

They really could not figure out what had suddenly happened! That Chen Mo, this top-tier expert, would suddenly summon them all together.

And that Jiang Wanliu was able to be a step faster was because he had directly interrupted his own cultivation, which was why he could be a step quicker.

As the message was sent out, Chen Mo did not wait a moment before sensing that people had arrived.

"The matter of refining the Mirage Spirit that you entrusted to me previously, Fellow Daoist, now has some progress. As long as I can borrow the Wuxing Liantian Dian, it will take less than half a year to refine this artifact."

And this Heavenly Human expert was someone who had been stuck at the Innate Realm for a long time, only because of the state of the world, it had not been easy to break through.

"Fellow Daoist Chen." Jiang Wanliu smiled and returned the salute, then immediately spoke.

But if he took the Heavenly Court Secret Realm along with him, while it would certainly be of much help to himself and might even provide a certain boost to his combat power.

After refining the obtained heaven-sent treasures, Chen Mo took out several Talismans and sent messages to the many experts in the Cangxuan World and Xuantian World, asking them to come to this Heavenly Court Secret Realm to discuss matters.

After another moment, many Heavenly Human Realm experts arrived one after another; Chu Tianxiu, Zhao Xuanxin, the Zhang Dao Lord of Xu Yingping from Daoxuan Mountain, and Abbot Mingxing of Ku Chan Temple had all broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm by now, so they naturally arrived together.

Chen Mo had pushed open the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, changing the environment of the world, so they could naturally break through more smoothly.

"That is easily done. Once the discussion is over, I will open the Wuxing Liantian Dian and let you enter to refine your artifact, Fellow Daoist."

He would temporarily store it in the Xuantian World, and only after he had initially ascertained the situation in Ju Hai City would he consider whether to take it with him.

Aside from helping Chen Mo refine artifacts, the main reason was that he also wanted to carefully experience the wonders of this Wuxing Liantian Dian.

But the speed would be much slower from here on out; wanting to match the Xuantian World in the number of Heavenly Human Martial Artists would require a long period of accumulation.

The Talisman used to send the message was also refined by the Heavenly Palace's Spirit Severing great cultivator, Jiang Wanliu.

Jiang Wanliu wore a smile, appearing to be full of confidence regarding the refining of this weapon.

For a Supernatural Martial Artist, reaching this realm meant that a million miles was nothing more than a fleeting moment.

"Let us wait until all fellow daoists have arrived before we discuss." Chen Mo cupped his hands in return and did not say much more, first inviting them into the main hall.

But that Peerless Killing Array was there to defend against endless Mirage Spirits, among which were many Mirage Spirits whose strength was beyond one's imagination.

After all, going to Ju Hai City was not a one-off deal; he could return after going.

It was just that he had not expected Jiang Wanliu to arrive so quickly.

There were now a full six Heavenly Human experts in the Cangxuan World; of course, it was impossible to compare this in number to the Xuantian World.

Naturally, the reason for this was built upon the fact that his own attainments in artifact refining were already extremely high; by drawing inferences, he was different from others, needing only a flash of inspiration to understand.

Strictly speaking, the Cangxuan World and the Xuantian World were not subordinate to each other.

Chen Mo currently knew absolutely nothing about the situation there, so rashly taking the Heavenly Court Secret Realm along with him still carried a certain risk.

It could be said that once there was the slightest problem with that Peerless Killing Array, the nearby Ju Hai City and that Da Tiandi would inevitably bear the brunt and be submerged by endless Mirage Spirits, the danger of which was unimaginable.

But experts like Chen Mo or Shui Qianqiu could summon many experts to discuss matters if they encountered important issues.

Shui Qianqiu was close enough and had now arrived, and behind him were the Master of the Blood Sea and Bai Yuxia.

That was a place for refining artifacts used by ancient Great Abilities; although no classics remained now, just looking at the layout used during its construction was enough for him to contemplate the intentions of the ancient Great Abilities.

Therefore, upon receiving the news of Chen Mo summoning many experts for a discussion, he had hurried over.

Chen Mo wore a smile, his gaze looking once more outside the secret realm gate.

He had actually come to find Chen Mo before, but either he was not there or he was in seclusion; he had come two or three times and had returned empty-handed each time.

In this situation, it was mostly not a good thing.

Only the Master of the Blood Sea had a thoughtful look in her eyes; she had likely already guessed what Chen Mo specifically wanted to talk about.

"I have summoned you all here today because there is a truly important matter to discuss.

The first is the matter of the Return Ruins; I wonder if any fellow daoists have heard of it?"

Chen Mo wore a smile, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone.

Except for a small number of martial artists from the Heavenly Palace and Absolute Sword Valley who had heard Shui Qianqiu and Bai Yuxia speak of the Return Ruins, the rest were mostly wearing blank expressions.

The Return Ruins was truly an unfamiliar term for the martial artists of this era.

They might only understand the meaning of the words, but they did not know what it specifically was, nor why Chen Mo would bring up the Return Ruins.

Seeing that everyone did not know, Chen Mo remained calm and carefully explained it to them.

The Return Ruins possess thousands of profound mysteries; he only needs to explain the most important points.

The numerous Heavenly Human Realm martial artists all listened extremely carefully.

"Senior, I just do not know how we should enter this Return Ruins?"

After hearing Chen Mo's explanation, a Xuantian World martial artist cupped his hands and asked.

This was not just something he alone wanted to know; every Heavenly Human Realm martial artist present wanted to know.

"That is simple. Within this Heavenly Court Secret Realm, there is a Guixu Divine Hall.

You fellow Daoists only need to spend ten Heaven and Earth Essence Stones or equivalent heavenly treasures to enter it," Chen Mo answered immediately.

There were over fifty Heavenly Human Realm martial artists who had come; if each person entered and exited the Return Ruins once a month, they could provide themselves with over five hundred points of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid.

This amount might seem small, but it would be very considerable as it accumulated over time.

If they brought some Innate Martial Artists inside as well, then their own harvest would be even greater.

Over the course of a year, not to mention more, six or seven thousand points of Heaven and Earth Divine Liquid was absolutely guaranteed.

This was already quite good; if the price were set too high, then while one could certainly make a large profit in the early stages,

the vast majority of martial artists would not be able to support such a massive expenditure.

Rather than that, it is better to have small profits but quick returns, which counts as a stable income.

"Senior, we also wish to enter this Guixu Dian to cultivate; is that permissible?"

That questioning Heavenly Human Realm martial artist followed up immediately.

Chen Mo nodded and replied, "Naturally, you may."

After speaking, his gaze swept over everyone in the hall again, "The reason I have summoned you all, besides this matter of the Return Ruins, is that there is another major event."

As his voice fell, the hall doors closed immediately, and streams of profound precious light bloomed, protecting the entire hall and isolating everything inside from the outside.

The power of space twisted; at this moment, if any expert on the outside were to look carefully, they would find the entire hall constantly trembling.

This is because of the marvelous method of space, causing the entire hall to constantly change back and forth on the scale of space.

Discussing matters here, everything would be torn apart by space storms; no information could be transmitted out, and no one could probe this place.

The numerous experts in the hall clearly sensed this change; everyone's gaze froze, and they immediately realized that what Chen Mo was about to say was absolutely extraordinary.

Everyone put away the smiles they had revealed when discussing the Return Ruins earlier, and their expressions became serious.

"My cultivation has already broken through to the True One Realm, and I can once again push open the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate to connect with another world."

His voice fell, like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake.

The previously serious and calm expressions of the crowd all turned into surprise and astonishment.

Those Heavenly Human Realm martial artists were still fine; regardless of whether Chen Mo was in the Myriad Phenomena Realm or the True One Realm, the distance was still somewhat remote for them.

They could not understand the difficulties of cultivation in the Supernatural Power Realm, or rather the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and were even less clear about what being able to break through to the True One Realm actually represented.

They were stunned only because they had not expected Chen Mo's cultivation to improve so quickly, and that they could actually open the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate again so soon.

As for Bai Yuxia and Shui Qianqiu, their faces were filled with a mix of confusion, astonishment, and shock.

Both of them were martial artists in the Fifth Realm, the Supernatural Power Realm, and they themselves knew the difficulty of cultivation in this realm and the difficulty of breaking through.

Even compared to Qi Refiners, the speed at which martial artists break through can already be considered relatively fast.

Yet until now, the two of them were only circling in the first heaven of the Supernatural Power Realm; it was only after experiencing the harvest of many Wanfa Spirit Fruits earlier that their cultivation had finally received a not-insignificant improvement.

In a little while, they could consider breaking through from the first heaven to the second heaven realm.

But that is an improvement of a small realm; what about Chen Mo?!

He had directly improved by a major realm, which indicated that he had already completed the cultivation of the Myriad Phenomena Realm earlier, preparing for the breakthrough to the True One Realm.

This speed was truly shocking, so both of them now had expressions of disbelief.

Yet they also understood that Chen Mo could not possibly be joking about this matter.

"You actually really broke through!" Bai Yuxia's beautiful eyes were filled with shock and astonishment as she stared straight at Chen Mo and sighed in a deep voice.

Shui Qianqiu's expression as he looked at Chen Mo was even more complex; he had previously always regarded Chen Mo as an opponent.

Although he had been defeated by him in combat, Shui Qianqiu had never given up and had always regarded Chen Mo as a target to chase.

Not only that, he believed that when his own cultivation reached the Supernatural Power Realm, he possessed the Heavenly Palace, and could even be said to have the accumulation of nearly the entire Xuantian World and numerous profound and marvelous methods.

Overtaking on a bend and surpassing Chen Mo in cultivation and strength was just a matter of time.

When the time came to compete again, he would definitely be able to win.

Yet he never expected that the speed of Chen Mo's cultivation breakthrough would be so fast; it could not even be described as "a thousand miles a day."

It was simply like running while driving a spatial passage; the speed made him feel out of reach, and he even felt unable to generate the heart to chase.

Shui Qianqiu could not understand why there would be such a freak of a freak in this world.

He was already a top-tier talent within a world; from the moment he was born, he was a seed for cultivation, with all his innate meridians open.

The moment he left his mother's womb and landed, he could be called an Innate Martial Artist.

Although he was extremely weak at this time and did not possess the abilities of an Innate Martial Artist, his meridians were simply unobstructed.

But as he formally began cultivation, by the age of only twelve, he possessed the strength of an Innate Martial Artist.

Not only that, even in an environment that was not very suitable for cultivation at that time, he had already reached Xiantian Yuansheng by the age of twenty, and successfully impacted the Heavenly Human Realm at twenty-three.

This cultivation speed was also shocking within the Xuantian World; in the hundreds of thousands of years of a world, geniuses like him did not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

That is why the Heavenly Palace would spend a large amount of resources to seal him away, waiting for a great era suitable for cultivation to unseal him and let him begin cultivation.

But his aptitude was not worth mentioning in front of Chen Mo, because the gap was truly too large, simply a difference between clouds and mud.

The speed of Chen Mo's cultivation improvement sometimes even made him suspect whether the other party was a reincarnation of an ancient Great Ability or Supreme, otherwise how could he cultivate so quickly.

But that should not be; according to the records he had found, ancient Great Abilities and Supremes who fell were all eroded by the Mirage Sea.

Even if they died, there was absolutely no possibility of reincarnation and re-cultivation.

But if it were not so, how else could one explain Chen Mo's such fast cultivation speed.

Shui Qianqiu could not figure it out; he truly could not figure it out.

"Have you truly broken through?" Jiang Wanliu stared fixedly at Chen Mo as he asked.

He did not think Chen Mo would joke about such a matter; he merely doubted whether he had misheard just now, otherwise how could such a freak exist in this world.

Even now, Shui Qianqiu was only at the Supernatural Power Realm, even if Chen Mo had broken through to the Fifth Realm a step ahead of him.

Yet according to Jiang Wanliu's estimation, Chen Mo was at most at the second or third heaven of the Myriad Phenomena stage.

As a result, Chen Mo claimed he had broken through to the True One Realm; this contrast was simply too great.

"That is correct!" Chen Mo spoke, his voice not loud, yet it could accurately and unmistakably reach the ears of everyone in the hall.

Jiang Wanliu was an old-school cultivator after all, having lived long enough and possessing enough depth of character, so he quickly regained his composure.

"Then how does fellow Daoist intend to proceed? Shall we assemble our troops and prepare to push open the Heaven and Earth Gate?"

He immediately went on to ask about the most important matter at hand: when Chen Mo intended to push open the Heaven and Earth Gate, and what kind of response they needed to make on their side.
