Chapter 286: Entering Juhaiguan

Chen Mo stepped off the small boat, having returned once again to this Purple Cloud Building.

The time consumed by this cultivation was, relatively speaking, not long, being only about a year and a half.

Compared to other Martial Artists, who often spend decades or even centuries in seclusion within secret lands of longevity.

The time Chen Mo needed to expend was truly far too short.

Of course, the reason he could achieve this was because he possessed advantages that were uniquely superior compared to other Martial Artists.

Chen Mo took out the Xuanhuang Heaven Token, walked out of the Purple Cloud Building, and transmitted the news of his emergence from seclusion to Ye Qingshan.

He did not know where Ye Qingshan was located, so he could not go to find him and could only take the initiative to contact him.

After confirming the message had been transmitted via the Xuanhuang Heaven Token, Chen Mo walked back into the Purple Cloud Building once more.

This time, Ye Qingshan did not arrive as quickly as he had in the past, but Chen Mo was not anxious and continued to cultivate steadily.

It was not until three days later that a powerful fluctuation arrived, and Ye Qingshan finally came to the Purple Cloud Building.

Sensing his arrival, Chen Mo immediately ended his cultivation, stood up, and saluted, saying, "Senior, this junior has completed the cultivation in the secret land of longevity."

Ye Qingshan nodded; although there was still a look of astonishment in his eyes, it was far better than before.

Chen Mo's cultivation speed was indeed very, very fast, but compared to his previous performance, it was not quite as shocking.

He was still able to accept this quite calmly, but even so, at the thought of Chen Mo's talent, ripples could not help but form in Ye Qingshan's heart.

They could not help but sigh in their hearts, wondering what kind of monster could cultivate so quickly.

At the same time, they also imagined, could it be that Heaven truly does not wish for the Human Race to perish? Otherwise, how could the Human Race give birth to such a monster with such excellent talent as Chen Mo?

It could be said that as long as Chen Mo was given some time to cultivate steadily, he would definitely have the opportunity to climb to the Zhizun Realm.

"Since you have broken through, this is a good thing. Next, I will find a way to arrange for you to enter Juhaiguan to cultivate.

There is a Supreme sitting in command within Juhaiguan, and every so often, a Supreme will preach the Dao. By listening to the Supreme Dao within, you can supplement your own deficiencies."

Ye Qingshan spoke slowly, explaining the path of cultivation that lay ahead for Chen Mo.

These matters were almost the necessary path that every Martial Artist with excellent talent in Juhai City had to walk.

It was just that Chen Mo's talent was too good and his cultivation speed too fast, which greatly accelerated this progress.

"Going to Juhaiguan is not so easy; you need to wait for another period of time. During this time, you can cultivate first; just wait for my news," Ye Qingshan continued to instruct.

"This junior understands," Chen Mo immediately responded.

Ye Qingshan did not stay there long; his figure flashed, and he left at high speed.

Chen Mo's talent was too good; facing such talent, it naturally could not be wasted, and every possible method had to be used to nurture him.

And allowing a Martial Artist to enter Juhaiguan and obtain the opportunity to listen to a Supreme preach was not a matter he could decide alone.

He had to summon other powerhouses within the alliance to discuss this matter together.

Ye Qingshan left at high speed, and Chen Mo did not continue to stay in the Purple Cloud Building, but instead set off for the Hengyu Asking Dao Hall in Juhai City.

Although his cultivation had now reached the Zhen Yi Realm Third Layer, it had still not reached the realm of perfection.

The subsequent cultivation did not have any difficulty; it was purely a matter of grinding, which would require a lot of time to complete.

Taking advantage of the fact that he did not need to enter Juhaiguan yet, he should seize the opportunity to raise his cultivation to the realm of perfection as soon as possible.

By doing so, if there were no major changes in the future, he would have the opportunity to listen to the Supreme preach.

Then, perhaps in the blink of an eye, he could enter the Mastery Realm directly.

Of course, such an opportunity might not necessarily exist, but if it did, then raising his own cultivation to the realm of perfection now was the necessary preparation to seize that opportunity.

Chen Mo arrived at the Hengyu Asking Dao Hall to begin a new round of cultivation, while inside the True Martial Tower base, Ye Qingshan was summoning the powerhouses of the alliance.

Of course, to prevent this matter from leaking, he only summoned a small number of powerhouses from his own faction, all of whom were those who had participated in the discussion about nurturing Chen Mo last time.

As the message was transmitted, people arrived very quickly.

Dao Haizhen was the same as last time, only this time there was clearly some confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

"What exactly happened that you are in such a hurry to find me?" He looked at Ye Qingshan and asked in a deep voice.

Bai Yuling and Yin Qianming arrived one after another, their expressions also carrying confusion and bewilderment.

The look in their eyes as they turned to Ye Qingshan seemed to be asking what had happened that required them to be summoned so suddenly.

"This matter is simple to state," Ye Qingshan said with a smile, his smile even somewhat uncontrollable.

As his voice fell, the formation within the pavilion operated naturally, isolating external influences to ensure that nothing they discussed next would be leaked.

The three of them, Dao Haizhen included, were not surprised by this; Ye Qingshan summoning them suddenly must mean there was an important matter to discuss, and he would certainly make full preparations before the discussion to avoid any leaks.

"Do you all still remember Chen Mo?" Ye Qingshan asked with a smile.

The three nodded; they naturally remembered Chen Mo clearly, as he was the Martial Artist with the best aptitude in the True Martial Tower in the last ten thousand years.

Not to mention the three of them, many powerhouses within the True Martial Tower also knew of Chen Mo's existence, though they had not met him in person.

"Chen Mo's aptitude is so good that it somewhat exceeds our imagination. He returned from the world he was in a while ago, and his cultivation had already reached the Zhen Yi Realm Second Layer," Ye Qingshan recounted in a deep voice.

"What?" Yin Qianming's expression was stunned, his eyes full of doubt and disbelief.

He knew Chen Mo's talent was very good, but he had not expected it to be good to this extent.

It was not just him; Dao Haizhen and Bai Yuling were also full of astonishment and bewilderment.

Ye Qingshan was not surprised by the current expressions of the three; he knew that the situation revealed when Chen Mo broke through would not be much better than it was now.

"This matter is true; I verified it myself, and Chen Mo recently went to the secret land of longevity to cultivate, and has now broken through to the Zhen Yi Realm Third Layer.

Next, he needs to go to Juhaiguan to cultivate, and this is not a matter I can resolve alone."

Ye Qingshan continued to speak; if he had the ability to handle this matter alone, he would never have informed more people.

He understood that the only way to keep a secret was for no one else to know it.

Even if the people who knew the news were trustworthy, every additional person who knew it increased the risk of a leak.

If he had any other choice, he would never have told anyone else about this.

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Bai Yuling was also full of confusion; she truly could not imagine that she had heard an even more outrageous piece of news.

In this short period of just over two years, Chen Mo had actually raised his cultivation directly to the Zhen Yi Realm Third Layer.

This news was simply too outrageous.

She even suspected she had misheard, yet she knew for certain she had not.

The speed of Chen Mo's cultivation could not simply be explained by good talent; it could practically be called heaven-defying.

She had been able to cultivate all the way to the Mastery Realm, so her own aptitude and comprehension were naturally the cream of the crop.

Yet, whether it was herself or the many geniuses she had seen over these many years,

no one had ever reached such an outrageous level as Chen Mo: from the True One Realm First Layer to the Zhen Yi Realm Third Layer in just over two years.

She felt that if she were to say these words out loud, no one would believe her.

But she understood even better that Ye Qingshan would not deceive her on this matter, and even if he were to deceive her, he would never deceive Dao Haizhen.

But even for her, it was not so easy to accept these things.

"Are you certain everything you said is true?" Dao Haizhen's brows were tightly furrowed; he was likewise incomparably shocked inside.

Yet, he was ultimately a bit better than Bai Yuling and the others, and he soon accepted the matter.

"That is correct." Ye Qingshan nodded forcefully.

"Since that is the case, we must plan this out carefully; we must not let this matter be exposed, and we must also find a way for him to enter Juhaiguan to cultivate," Dao Haizhen said, his gaze turning to the remaining three people.

"This matter is actually simple. Chen Mo has not been in Ju Hai City for very long, and there are not many Martial Artists in the city who know him.

Aside from Zhang Qianlian and the others from the Huantian Alliance, there are only the few Martial Artists he met when he was cultivating in the Zhenwu Secret Land back then.

These people have no opportunity to listen to the Supreme preach the Dao; as long as Chen Mo does not actively expose his identity, then no one will pay too much attention to him."

Ye Qingshan stated the known situation he had investigated; these things seemed simple, but in reality, it took a great deal of energy to investigate them clearly.

Even for him, it was not an easy task to look into this matter clearly.

"Put that way, this is indeed much simpler." Dao Haizhen nodded, then looked at the two of them and said, "No matter what, do not let this matter leak out. I will contact the Martial Artists within the sect who belong to our faction and try my best to secure an opportunity for Chen Mo to listen to the Supreme preach the Dao."

Although Ye Qingshan had only contacted the three of them this time, the only one who could truly play a decisive role was Dao Haizhen.

The remaining two could only provide assistance and could not play a vital role.

After discussing the general plan, Dao Haizhen began to arrange the specific tasks to be done.

Chen Mo was still cultivating at this moment, with endless Yin-Yang Law and the power of Myriad Phenomena flowing into his body.

This brought improvement to his cultivation; of course, this kind of improvement was merely a rising tide lifting the boat, not a qualitative breakthrough.

Cultivating within the Hengyu Asking Dao Hall, it is easy for Martial Artists to ignore the passage of time in the outside world.

Chen Mo did not know how long he had been cultivating, until he gradually sensed the existence of his own bottleneck, but he had not yet had time to carefully perceive it further.

A message came through the Xuanhuang Heaven Token; Chen Mo had not cut off outside influence during this closed-door cultivation.

This was to ensure he could receive outside news at the first possible moment; the message that came was exactly as he expected: Ye Qingshan was contacting him.

Without saying much, it only told him to head to the Purple Cloud Building as soon as possible.

Chen Mo decisively ended his cultivation and stepped out of the place.

He had cultivated in the Hengyu Asking Dao Hall for over three months this time, spending tens of thousands of Contribution Points.

Through this situation, he could infer that the time he had spent in this closed-door cultivation was nearly thirty years.

Leaving the Hengyu Asking Dao Hall, he transformed into a stream of light and headed toward the Purple Cloud Building.

The divine ability he was currently using was called the Rainbow Transformation Technique; it is rumored to have been created by a Great Ability of the ancient era who observed a Golden Crow in flight.

Of course, this Great Ability had no use for such a method personally; the reason for creating this divine ability was for the sake of their disciples.

The Rainbow Transformation Technique has no other features; its only feature is that it is fast enough, and it can be used for long-distance travel.

Precisely because of this, there are quite a few Martial Artists in the current Juhaiguan who cultivate this divine ability.

Employing the Rainbow Transformation Technique, Chen Mo only spent a moment before arriving at the Purple Cloud Building once again.

Ye Qingshan was already waiting here, but this time it was not just him; Dao Haizhen was also here.

He looked at Chen Mo carefully; his eyes held both appreciation and satisfaction, yet also shock and confusion.

He even suspected whether the person in front of him was a human or some kind of freak.

Even for a naturally born Divine Beast, the speed of digging into one's own innate bloodline to cultivate could likely not be this fast.

Chen Mo's cultivation speed was somewhat unreasonable, even to the point of being outrageous.

"I have already arranged everything for you. Next, you will follow Qingshan into Juhaiguan, and he will go to listen to the Supreme preach the Dao."

Although Dao Haizhen had doubts in his heart, he did not ask; he did not know why Chen Mo cultivated so quickly, but in the current world, these things were not very important.

That Chen Mo's cultivation speed was fast enough was actually a good thing; the faster his strength improved, the better.

Even if there were a hundred or eighty more outstanding talents with the same talent as him, perhaps there would be a possibility of completely reversing the Mirage Sea Catastrophe.

Of course, Dao Haizhen also knew that this was just his own wishful thinking.

For such a heaven-defying monster to exist in the same era, the probability was already extremely low.

To think of a hundred or eighty of them was absolutely impossible.

"This junior understands!" Chen Mo bowed, his heart already prepared.

While listening to the Supreme preach the Dao was important and rare, it was not as important as what he had to do.

He had not forgotten the main purpose of his coming this time: to pass on the item in his hand to the avatar of Fengdu Niangniang.

This matter concerned not only Ju Hai City but also the living beings of the world.

"When you go this time, be low-key and cautious in everything; you must not expose your identity," Dao Haizhen exhorted Chen Mo carefully.

Ye Qingshan then spoke up, "I will explain everything to you on the way. After entering Juhaiguan, you can just wait peacefully for the Supreme to preach the Dao."

Chen Mo nodded, and Ye Qingshan took out a cloak and handed it to him.

The material of this cloak was special; it felt like silk to the touch, and upon closer inspection, one could clearly see that there was an independent space inside the cloak.

As long as a Martial Artist wore this cloak, it was equivalent to forming a unique field with themselves as the center, sufficient to isolate anyone's observation.

"Follow me," Ye Qingshan said, turning and walking toward the outside of the Purple Cloud Building.

Chen Mo hurriedly followed his footsteps, and the two moved very quickly, arriving at the checkpoint in an instant.

This mountain pass still stood quietly here; as Chen Mo looked on, the checkpoint appeared like a chasm standing horizontally, isolating all the might of the Mirage Sea outside.

Once a Martial Artist steps into this place, they are on the front line of contact with the Mirage Sea, and the creatures within this Mirage Sea are unimaginably powerful.

Only by relying on endless Arrays, coupled with countless experts standing guard, can they barely maintain parity with those Mirage Sea creatures.

In reality, the scene of the Mirage Sea here is not considered dangerous, because the creatures within it are in no rush to invade the Xuanhuang Heaven.

They are merely slowly wearing down the Martial Artists within Ju Hai City bit by bit; this speed is slow but very effective.

As time passes, the Martial Artists within Ju Hai City will one day reach a situation where, even if all Martial Artists go to guard the Arrays, the Arrays still cannot be maintained.

When that time comes, it will be the beginning of their full-scale invasion.

Not only that, but using this method can reduce many unnecessary sacrifices and consumption for them.

The creatures of the Mirage Sea indeed do not die, but they are not a monolithic block either.

They are absolutely unwilling to expend the power they have accumulated for the success of others.

It is precisely because of this that the living beings of heaven and earth within Ju Hai City can remain in a stalemate with the Mirage Sea creatures.

Ye Qingshan took out a Token to verify his identity, then immediately led Chen Mo to truly step into Juhaiguan.
