Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1204: As If a Dream


Chu Mo got utterly drunk.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Chu Mo sat up, looking somewhat dazedly at the surrounding scene.

The grape trellis was gone, the chicken coop was gone, the woodpile and that well, even the axe… all were gone, as was the Daoist temple. The only thing left was the rocking chair beneath Chu Mo.

This place had become a desolate mountain, without any distinctive paths, much less any different domains.

Everything seemed like a dream.

If it weren't for the vast and matchless power surging within him, Chu Mo would really feel like he had experienced a dream.

He looked up to where the chicken coop had been, now replaced by a massive piece of bluestone, which, in appearance, bore some resemblance to that rooster.

Chu Mo couldn't help but give a wry smile; he knew this was a joke left by the old Daoist.

On the bluestone were engraved six lines, and upon reading them, Chu Mo fell into a deep contemplation.

"To cultivate to immortality takes a million years, failing to become a Great Saint leads to emptiness. Even Great Saints cannot escape fate, stepping into the ancestral realm is still fraught with dread, only by achieving the Supreme position, can one be Carefree between Heaven and Earth for ten thousand ages."

Seeing these six lines, Chu Mo vaguely seemed to recall the old Daoist muttering these words last night when he was drunk.

The old Daoist had also drunk too much last night, and he seemed to have spoken a lot to him, but now when trying to remember, Chu Mo found he could recall none of it. Had he not seen the six lines carved on the bluestone, he wouldn't even remember the old Daoist saying this.

"It seems he deliberately didn't want me to know too much," Chu Mo sighed softly, then stood up, stayed here for a while, and then turned and left.

By now, Chu Mo had completely understood that this Daoist temple was the opportunity left to him by the saint whom his mother called Nineteen Uncle.

As for why the old Daoist, the former head of the Daoist Sect, had come here and guarded this place for so many years, Chu Mo truly did not know. Maybe, had he deduced that there was an opportunity above the heavenly road that he wanted to seize, but ultimately failed?

Chu Mo vaguely remembered the old Daoist rambling something about that last night when he was drunk?

Chu Mo, feeling uncertain, eventually just gave a bitter smile. In the end, why didn't really matter anymore.

He had already taken the opportunity, and the old Daoist hadn't trapped or harmed him; that was enough.

As for the rest, there was no need to ponder, because the things he couldn't understand were far more than just this one! There were many!

For Nineteen Uncle, the saint, Chu Mo felt an immense gratitude. Although he had almost perished in the clash between two Great Daos, he ultimately succeeded!

The might of a saint is inscrutable and beyond conjecture. So, just as the old Daoist had guessed before… anything about experiments and the like was purely baseless.

At that level of existence, one sees through the myriad things of the world very clearly; even if one really wanted to perform experiments, they would definitely not choose someone like Chu Mo, who had a big cause and effect relationship with themselves.

Therefore, there's no need to doubt; this was the opportunity left for Chu Mo by the saint!

Chu Mo now had a feeling that he could leave the heavenly road at any time!

This feeling was very mysterious, as if with a single thought, he could instantly leave this place. And it seemed if he wished to return, he could re-enter at any time!

This made Chu Mo himself a bit baffled.

"What realm do I count as now? The pinnacle of a true immortal? Is there such a powerful true immortal in this world?" Chu Mo muttered to himself.

When the heavenly road's gate does not open, who dares to speak casually of entering the heavenly road?

Perhaps only beings of the supreme level or above could do something like that?

Then why can he also do it?

To verify his own hypothesis, Chu Mo's mind stirred, a vast force of space surrounded him, and then… in an instant, the scenery before his eyes changed. That familiar feeling came rushing at him!

Heavenly Realm!

In the blink of an eye, he had already returned to the Heavenly Realm!

Then, with another thought, Chu Mo's body returned to its original spot.

However, this round trip had depleted about one-tenth of his energy. It should be known that Chu Mo's current strength was far beyond what a normal true immortal could compare to. It was likely that, even among the emperors of this era, there were few whose power could surpass his.

His current transformation had nothing to do with his realm, yet it transcended realms.

"There are still a few things I haven't done," a touch of indifference flashed in Chu Mo's eyes, "This is a good opportunity to test what kind of level my combat power has reached!"

Speaking, Chu Mo's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Shrinking Ground into Inches, traveling thousands of miles in an instant!

...

World-Dominating Biao was in a perpetually enraged state lately, seething with anger and even a hint of madness. Within its territory, many creatures had been directly slain by it. This was unprecedented in its countless years of existence. Consequently, a large number of creatures within its domain began to flee, unsure of when disaster might befall them.

The supreme medicine named Huang Jianlan was its most loyal confidant, its means of survival!

Few knew that, although World-Dominating Biao was considered a medicinal material, its growth required the pillaging of essence from other medicinal materials. It had always done this very covertly and cautiously.

It never provoked those overly powerful or highly sentient medicinal materials; its "food" mainly consisted of those at the Emperor-level.

Nutritious and with no repercussions.

Generally, consuming one Emperor-level supreme medicine every few thousand years was enough to sustain a comfortable existence on this heavenly road.

But hunting was a small matter that it didn't wish to undertake personally. For one, it felt undignified for a Quasi-Saint medicine to stoop to such tasks, tarnishing its reputation; on the other hand, it exposed itself to risk if it acted personally.

Despite the heavenly road seeming peaceful, it was nonetheless fraught with various dangers.

The deeper in, the more powerful creatures lay in wait.

Once its secret was exposed, its good days would likely come to an end!

Many creatures that threatened its existence would come to hunt it!

Therefore, World-Dominating Biao's activity was always confined to this end of the heavenly road, where powerful creatures were scarce, thus safer. With Huang Jianlan serving it diligently, it had always lived quite comfortably.

Under World-Dominating Biao's protection, Huang Jianlan, this supreme medicine, became increasingly spirited, handling tasks with ease.

But now, Huang Jianlan had been abducted!

A human youngster had snatched it away right in front of it!

This filled World-Dominating Biao with uncontrollable rage, vowing to find the human and rescue its foster child.

However, the human had vanished without a trace, and World-Dominating Biao had been searching for many days without a single clue. Eventually, it heard that the youngster might have gone to that Daoist temple. Instantly, World-Dominating Biao became timid... It dared not approach that Daoist temple!

So these past days, it had been lingering within a safe range, coldly watching in the direction of that Daoist temple. It was waiting for that person to emerge!

Finally, it had its chance!

A ferocious light flickered in World-Dominating Biao's eyes, coldly observing the approaching figure, wishing it could immediately strike and kill him with one swipe of its claw!

However, to World-Dominating Biao's surprise, the young human, who clearly saw it, had... an excited smile on his face!

World-Dominating Biao instantly flew into a rage: How dare he!
