Chen Mo also wanted to know just how powerful this Human Immortal was. He responded in kind, throwing the seven stones, imbuing them with Qiankun One Qi and the power of the Black Turtle, making them heavy as Mount Tai.
Luo Changqing noticed something was not right, but he could not easily use other methods to catch it. If he did not, he would lose. The man’s brow creased. He raised his magic energy and copied Chen Mo’s hand wave. Innate Astral Wind burst out from his palm in an attempt to seize the stones in his palm.
How could he have foreseen that the stones would be as heavy as lead, surprisingly not budging in the least.
Oh, shit.
Luo Changqing braced himself for a catch. Instantly, he sensed the formidable pressure that the stone brought. The Qiankun One Qi stiffened Luo Changqing’s movements, and the power of the Black Turtle also had a powerful and unmatched pressure.
The hand holding the stone was trembling, and Luo Changqing tenaciously smiled.
Jiang Yanyu watched in astonishment as her senior brother was unexpectedly pushed back by Chen Mo using a stone, her jaw nearly dropping.
Senior Brother Luo Changqing was but one of the Three Thousand Sword Ocean’s Seven Great Direct Disciples. The difference between Immortal Soul Nine Turns and Earthly Immortal was only a step away, their power unfathomable. Furthermore, the Innate Astral Wind that he cultivated was refined from the Taihang Mountain’s Immemorial Dragon Sea Divine Wind. All plants in the world became weapons in his hand, and it could be said that his Innate Astral Wind was more formidable than a Flying Sword.
She never thought that not only would Chen Mo be able to catch the stone while staying in place, but that he would also be able to counterattack to the extent her senior brother was strained.
This man is incredible.
The stone in Luo Changqing’s hand became dust. He gave Chen Mo a thumbs up and teased: “How fortunate you did not agree to go to the Three Thousand Sword Ocean. Otherwise, I would not be able to keep my position as one of the Seven Great Direct Disciples.”
Chen Mo felt that although his conduct was a bit arrogant and unruly, he seemed not so bad at heart. His shrewdness could not be seen from his outward appearance, but the more frivolous someone was, the more unfathomable their heart often was. Chen Mo also felt that their relationship need not be so tense: “I possess the Black Turtle True Spirit. I activated the Black Turtle’s power just now,. That Brother Changqing is able to catch it also makes me very impressed.”
“The Four Holy Beasts’ ‘Black Turtle’ famous throughout the world. To be able to obtain one of them allows a person to be comparable to a Star General. It seems Changqing did not lose unjustly.” The man smiled.
Jiang Yanyu warmly mediated, dispelling the awkward atmosphere: “Senior Brother Changqing, do not be so modest. Your Immortal Soul Nine Turns is already close to Primordial Spirit. If you use full power, you most certainly will be fighting for days.”
The girl changed topics, giving Chen Mo an answer to the question he posed before: “Human Immortal is above Human Sovereign, and Human Immortals cultivate a total of Nine Turns for Immortal Soul. After Immortal Soul Nine Turns, one can become Primordial Divine Earthly Immortal.”
“The Star Energy of Star Generals is too powerful. They also have their Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Ranks, so they will not be easy to handle. At minimum, Human Sovereigns can escape intact from Yellow Court Realm and below.”
“Can cultivators who cultivate to their greatest contend against Heavenly Stars and Purple Rose Stars?” Chen Mo asked.
“Impossible.” Jiang Yanyu forced a smile: “Chen Mo, there are things you do not know. Human Immortal Nine Turns ascends to Earthly Immortal, and there is also Primordial Spirit Seven Divisions.1 Afterwards, there are also the Universe Origin Three Boundaries,2 Lord Of Heaven Seven Tribulations3…Each Realm is harder than climbing to Heaven, and the slightest mistake will lead to complete destruction of mind and body. But even if you ascend to Lord Of Heaven, that is nothing more than equivalent to the Heavenly Stars’ most fundamental True Phoenix Realm.”
A chill ran through Chen Mo’s heart as he listened to her words.
This meant that a cultivator could never surpass a Star General even with a lifetime of cultivation.
“This is not so absolute. Star World is so vast, there will definitely be very many unimaginable powers. After all, even Maiden Mountain is a place that Star Generals are unable to reach. That ‘Dream In A Millennium” Su Mian is able to contend against Star Generals, is she not?” Luo Changqing patted the dust off his clothes. “Alright, Junior Sister Yanyu, let us go for now and not bother him. I cannot stay in the Outer Star Fields for too long.”
“En.”
“Chen Mo, take care of yourself.”
Chen Mo bowed respectfully, sending them off with his gaze.
“What a pity, oh, what a pity.” Luo Changqing watched Chen Mo’s figure from upon his Flying Swords with an expression of regret.
“Does Senior Brother sympathize with his talent?”
“I never imagined he was able to obtain the Black Turtle in the Outer Star Fields. With such a stroke of luck, he will inevitably be able to establish a great undertaking in the future. What a pity he was too unwise and offended one of the Sixteen Star Marquis.” Luo Changqing’s eyes contained a bit of envy. If that Black Turtle was given to him instead, he definitely could seclude himself in the inner Star Fields and produce his own great feat.
“But never mind. The Inner Star Fields are full of preeminent cultivators. Those who offend Star Generals have always been geniuses that fell.” Luo Changqing pondered over this no longer.
Jiang Yanyu did not inform him at all about the fact that Chen Mo possessed an Evil Smiting True Spirit. Otherwise, this Senior Brother perhaps would not be so composed.
…
Western Turtle Island, Eastern Lin Sword Sect.
Ever since the destruction of the Eastern Flower Sword Sect, Chen Lin assumed control over the entire Western Turtle Island.4 The former sword sect’s remaining disciples mostly stayed, busy as usual in the sword sect.
Other than these disciples with rudimentary cultivation, some Greater Thunder Tribulation adepts who were aware that Chen Mo killed Huan Wen joined the Eastern Lin Sword Sect to seek him out. In addition to Chang’an Mansion’s generous assistance, despite the Eastern Lin Sword Sect being established less than a year ago, it flourished even greater than before.
When Chen Mo arrived at the Eastern Lin Sword Sect, he watched people come and go. Some disciples who did not recognize him did not report to the headmaster, while other cultivators who did recognize Chen Mo immediately greeted him with deference.
“Things have changed, yet people remain the same. I never thought that one of the magnificent Four Great Sword Sects would actually be like this.” Chen Mo could not help but let out at a sigh as he looked at the Eastern Flower Sword Sect’s radical changes. His previous visit to the Eastern Flower Sword Sect seemed like it was only just yesterday.
Qin Weiyu gracefully played with a strand of her black hair, “Are you very fond of the previous sword sect?”
“Not at all. They have only themselves to blame.” Chen Mo said: “But when I remember that a Great Sword Sect was destroyed just because they offended you, I fell that Star Generals are truly too powerful.”
The Eastern Flower Sword Sect’s Four Great Ancestors perished during the ceremony. Otherwise, the Eastern Flower Sword Sect would not necessarily have fallen so quickly.
Neither did Chen Mo come to reminisce. Besides greeting his Second Brother, the other reason he visited the Eastern Lin Sword Sect this time was to see the Secret Dragon Pool. He glanced at Nianyou, whom he carried. Chen Mo’s heart twisted, for Little Nianyou had now slumbered for more than a year already.
The Secret Dragon Pool did not change too much from back them, but Qin Weiyu looked somewhat solemnly at the calm waters.
“Weiyu, back then, you were forced to jump into the Secret Dragon Pool and saw a phenomenon with Nianyou. What was going on?” Chen Mo asked her.
Qin Weiyu recounted again what happened that day. After she jumped into the pool, Qin Weiyu perceived a yellow light appear throughout the entire pool. The waters seemed to abate, and the scene that appeared before her was the same as when Nianyou first used the power of her Star Name, but even more magnificent and real.
An enormous yellow dragon soared in the Dark Yellow world, and a woman in ceremonial dress stood below the yellow dragon with her back facing herself.
“Nianyou’s Star Name surpasses our imagination. Perhaps there is no way in the Outer Star Fields to make Nianyou recover.” Qin Weiyu said. “In that Dark Yellow world, I comprehended a new Dark Rank, and it was a very natural comprehension.”
Chen Mo’s expression was heavy. Nianyou curled her body.
“Is there a way in the Inner Star Fields?” Chen Mo asked.
“Are you certain you want to take Nianyou into the Inner Star Fields?” Qin Weiyu’s brows wrinkled. This was not a good idea at all.
“Nianyou’s Star Name is very mysterious. If the Central Star Fields learn of her, the outcome would be very difficult to foresee.”
“But I can’t just watch Nianyou continue to be like this.” After she fell into the pool, Nianyou’s breathing changed a bit, vacillating between dream and consciousness, but the longer this continued, the more it made Chen Mo suffer instead.
Qin Weiyu truly treated Nianyou as her own daughter, and to see her like this was very distressing for her, too. Her original plan to leave the Tail Fire Star Field continued to be pushed back.
“Perhaps we can go visit the ‘Medical School.'” Qin Weiyu pondered. The Medical School of the Hundred Schools of Thought was specialized in medicine and healing, and they were able to cure some Star Generals with unusual ailments.
“Fine.” Chen Mo agreed with this idea.
“You are completely unable to go to the Inner Star Fields right now, yes?” Qin Weiyu looked at this man.
Chen Mo understood from Jiang Yanyu the route to go to the Inner Star Fields, “Weiyu, do you have a way to obtain a Boundary Breaker Plaque?”
“Boundary Breaker Plaque?” Qin Weiyu shook her head. “But I do have a Boundary Passage Plaque. You and I can go together, but we will need two thousand Astral Dollars.”
“Looks like the fastest route will be to think of a way to earn Astral Currency.” As a Highness of Chang’an Mansion, this was the first time that the number one cultivator of the Tail Fire Star Field felt an empty wallet was truly painful.
“Did you not obtain a lot of Black Turtle Armor Sand? Use it to craft some defensive items, they should be able to fetch a good price.”
“En.” Chen Mo nodded.
“Wait until after you forge your first Flying Sword, then we will go to the Inner Star Fields together.” Qin Weiyu said.
“Fine then.”
Learning that the situation was apparently somewhat taking a turn for the better, Chen Mo’s mood improved markedly.
“Your Highness, Young Miss, the sect master invites you two to go to the Azure Sea Pavilion.” A disciple stepped forward into the Secret Dragon Pool and made an announcement.
Chen Mo grunted, retracting his complicated thoughts, leaving the Secret Dragon Pool together with Qin Weiyu.
The Azure Sea Pavilion was still as impressive as when they first met Daoist Eastern Flower, but the one sitting in the chair was no longer that scheming old man. Instead, it was a handsome young man.
“Fourth Brother, you’ve arrived.” Chen Lin stepped forward and greeted him.
After Chen Mo and Qin Weiyu sat down, Ning Xiaoyuan also steeped tea, “Brother Chen Mo, Elder Sister, please drink tea.”
“Xiayuan, you’re here, too.” Chen Mo said in surprise.
“En, Xiaoyuan is from the Eastern Sea, so I help Brother Chen Lin manage the Sword Sect’s affairs.” Ning Xiaoyuan said in a small voice
“Thank you for your troubles.” Chen Mo drank the tea.
Qin Weiyu nudged him, sending a signal to Chen Mo.
When Ning Xiaoyuan served Chen Lin tea, the cheerful second brother was actually a bit shy and acted flustered, spilling a bit of the tea. Ning Xiaoyuan also even more bashful. In a great flurry, Chen Lin apologized and wiped the girl’s clothes.
The two were so helplessly awkward, they made Chen Mo unable to help but grin.
He never thought this day would come for Second Brother.
“Brother Chen Mo, enjoy the tea for now, I will go take care of things in the meantime.” Ning Xiaoyuan bowed her head and scurried off.
“Second Brother, you have to treat Xiaoyuan a bit better from now on, otherwise I won’t forgive you.” Chen Mo chuckled.
Chen Lin, who was in a daze watching Ning Xiaoyuan’s departing back, came back to his senses, his face still wearing a shy expression. “Sister Xiaoyuan truly is different from all the other women I’ve met.”
“Xiaoyuan is very pure. Don’t do anything that will hurt her.” Chen Mo could not help but warn Chen Lin. He truly treated Xiaoyuan as a little sister, and he hoped nothing unpleasant would happen.
“Fourth Brother, relax. I won’t do anything to hurt her.” Chen Lin very earnestly promised.
“Is Little Sister Nianyou still not better?” Chen Lin then asked.
Chen Mo shook his head: “But I already plan to go see the Inner Star Fields.”
“The Inner Star Fields have countless Star Generals, you must be careful.” Chen Lin urged: “Little Sister Nianyou is so adorable, there will be a way for sure.”
Just as the brothers were chatting, all of a sudden, a slow, drawn-out womanly voice seemed to come from the Nine Heavens, echoing through the Azure Sea Pavilion.
“Going to the Inner Star Fields will not be able to heal her. It would be better for you to turn her over to Ziya.”
