"How tempting is it?" Upon hearing this, Chu Mo couldn't help but felt a slight stir in his heart. A reward offered by a Heavenly Realm Emperor must be a treasure to him even if it's quite ordinary.

"It's the Samadhi Real Fire!" A trace of longing appeared on Hu Lie's face, he said, "The Jin Wu Clan, are natural fire masters, any member of the Jin Wu Clan are adept at controlling fire, they are comparable to professional alchemists. Not to mention the most outstanding young talent of the Jin Wu Clan, rumors say that the Jin Wu Emperor's mastery of fire control has reached a highly regarded stage, deserving the title of a grandmaster! If one could obtain his Samadhi Real Fire, it would result in an unimaginable increase in one's strength."

"If it's really that good, then hasn't anyone come down from the Heavenly Layer to challenge his battle avatar?" Chu Mo asked.

"In the Heavenly Layer... there are indeed powerful beings in the Emperor Realm. I've never heard of a supreme one in this Illusion God Realm, but there are emperors." Hu Lie said, "It is said that there are great opportunities in the Heavenly Layer that even Emperors can't resist, so, it's not surprising to see an Emperor there. But at that level, those are all well-known figures. Who would dare to use their Emperor realm to suppress the battle avatar of Jin Wu Emperor at his Mahayana stage?"

Chu Mo pondered for a moment before speaking, "You have a point, but aren't there realms like Greater Luo Golden Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and True Immortal? Aren't they tempted by the Samadhi Real Fire?"

Hu Lie replied, "It's not that they're not tempted, but those who have reached the Greater Luo Golden Immortal and entered the Earth Layer, they didn't want to use their realm to overpower the Jin Wu Emperor's battle avatar. Even if they win and obtain the Samadhi Real Fire, they would certainly offend the Jin Wu Emperor. Although it's never been explicitly stated, it's evident that the Jin Wu Emperor's reward is intended for the young generation of the Human Layer who are below the Ascension stage."

Chu Mo looked at Hu Lie, "In that case, haven't you tried? You're already at the Ascension stage now, while the Jin Wu Emperor's battle avatar is only at the Mahayana stage. In terms of realm, you are a whole realm above him, can't you beat him?"

Hu Lie twitched the corner of his mouth and chuckled bitterly, "As much as I don't want to admit it, I must admit that I indeed can't beat him!"

"..." Chu Mo looked at Hu Lie with surprise. He didn't expect the prideful Hu Lie to say such a thing.

Hu Lie glanced at the leaderboard and spoke softly, "On the list of the strongest warriors, Qingfeng ranks below me, but the gap in our strength is minimal. If he performs well, it's not impossible for him to win. But, do you know the outcome of Qingfeng's battle with the battle avatar of the Jin Wu Emperor?"

Chu Mo laughed, "He must have lost for sure."

"He did lose, but Qingfeng, who was at the Ascension stage, didn't even have the chance to fight before he was instantly killed by the Jin Wu Emperor's battle avatar!" Hu Lie stated, "Qingfeng told me he had initially planned to use his realm to bully the Jin Wu Emperor, but he didn't expect that the opposition's power... greatly exceeded his expectations. Their attacks were as powerful as thunderbolts and their defense was impenetrable!"

"What a powerful being!" Chu Mo couldn't help but exclaim, his curiosity about the Jin Wu Emperor was greatly piqued.

"Alright, this is still a far-off matter for you, you shouldn't waste time thinking about it." Hu Lie patted Chu Mo's shoulder. He knew that his sworn brother may be weak in terms of realm, but his ambition was remarkably high. Even when facing a strong person like him, he never showed any sign of inferiority.

He believed that one day, Chu Mo would make a name for himself in the Illusion God Realm.

"Let's go, first we'll test your blood strength, then, if you want, you can see the mysterious person." Hu Lie said with a grin, "The mysterious person doesn't talk, and definitely won't mock you. They're an excellent sparring partner."

Chu Mo smiled and followed Hu Lie to the room for testing blood strength.

"Once you enter, you'll see the information about blood strength levels on the wall, ranging from the lowest red blood all the way to the highest purple blood, each signifying a different level."

"Then, drip a drop of blood onto the jade podium in the middle of the room, and you'll find out your blood strength!"

"In the Illusion God Realm, the strongest blood I know of is of green color. It's said that in the Heavenly Layer... blue blood has appeared."

"Even within the same color of blood, there are differences in strength. These... will be directly given during the test, providing you with the most accurate answer.

"As for the purple blood... I've heard that only the direct descendants of emperors possess it. Whether the Emperor Realm truly exists... is a mystery. I even doubt whether this kind of blood even exists."

Hu Lie led Chu Mo to the entrance of the room, continuing to explain to him with some redundancy.

Chu Mo nodded and entered the room. The heavy stone door closed silently behind him.

Chu Mo then turned to the wall to study the explanation about blood strength.

"Blood strength is divided into seven levels!"

"They're red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, each color representing a different blood strength. Among them, red is the lowest and violet is the highest. Violet blood is said to be that of an emperor's descendant... "

"Testing blood strength is very simple, just drip a drop of blood onto the jade platform in the middle of this room and wait for a while, the result will come out."

As Chu Mo read the introduction on the wall, he became curious. He wondered what kind of blood strength he had?

Without any hesitation, he walked straight towards the square jade platform in the middle of the room.

The jade platform was about two feet square and two feet tall. It was a bit yellowish, emitting a warm glow, and filled with an ancient charm.

Chu Mo stood in front of the jade platform, cut his finger, and dropped a drop of bright red blood directly onto the platform.

The blood was bright red and looked a bit shiny. Chu Mo murmured, "My blood should be of the most common red lineage, right?"

Just as he spoke, the drop of blood was absorbed directly by the jade platform, and then, a spiritual fluctuation instantly appeared in Chu Mo's mind, like a sudden huge wave, instantly forming in Chu Mo's sea of consciousness, rising high, and smashing forward.

Then, an astonishing scene happened... The jade platform in front of Chu Mo suddenly... had countless cracks!

And the cracks were getting more and more!

In the end, with a snap, this jade platform that had existed for who knows how many years... was actually shattered!

Not only did it shatter, but it also turned into powder, almost like a stone that had been weathered for millions of years in the blink of an eye, turning into jade dust...

"What... what happened?" Chu Mo stood there dumbfounded and mumbled, "Didn't they say... it will directly give the answer? Where's my answer? Why did this jade platform shatter? Could it be that... each time the blood strength is tested, this jade platform... shatters once?"

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly echoed from the void, "This jade platform has been here since the beginning of this universe, just like the jade platforms in the other rooms, it has existed for endless years."

"Who is it?"

-------------

I underestimated the fatigue of my body, which was utterly exhausted.

Then I realized I had been recommended... Actually, this recommendation should have been on November 1, but I felt the amount of text was too little, so I pushed it back a bit. Unexpectedly, it was pushed back to a day when I was most tired. It's a coincidence, it's a little helpless, but all I can do is accept it gracefully.

All of December, my time was fragmented. I just got back the day before yesterday, and on the 10th will be going away again to record the semi-finals and finals of "China's Best Poems". It won't end until the 14th.

And on the 20th, I will be going out again to attend the book launch event of that chub Jasper...

So, this month I will do my best to find time to write intensively.

Because before that, I need to ensure the stability of the updates, as the lessons from the last few days are still fresh in my mind.

Today there will be three more updates, making up for the one that was missed previously.

Tomorrow there will be at least five updates, a burst of activity to thank everyone. (To be continued.
