121: Section 121

Ling Baishuang looked at this scene, surprise on her pretty face.

She truly hadn't expected Chu Mo's strength to have reached such an inconceivable level, where even the Saint of Haoran Holy Land couldn't withstand a single punch.

This greatly moved her.

“However…”

“To dare insult Senior Brother Chu Mo, he deserved to die!”

She thought to herself.

Jun Tianye's condescending attitude earlier had made her extremely uncomfortable.

Furthermore, he had been the first to show killing intent towards Chu Mo, which was even more intolerable to Ling Baishuang—in her heart, Chu Mo was already her Dao Companion, her closest person, and naturally, she would not allow anyone to disrespect him.

Chu Mo was unaware of Ling Baishuang's thoughts.

At this moment, he came to the place where Jun Tianye's body had exploded and picked up his Storage Pouch.

After searching through it, he found that there were indeed many treasures inside, so he transferred all of them to his own Storage Pouch.

“Baishuang, I'll first comprehend the true meaning of Fist Dao; you can search around on your own and wait for me for a bit.”

Chu Mo said to Ling Baishuang.

“Senior Brother Chu Mo, please comprehend as much as you like; I'll be right here protecting you.”

Ling Baishuang said with a smile.

“That's good too!”

Chu Mo nodded.

Then he came before the stone tablet and sat down cross-legged.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out his palm and touched it.

Boom!

In an instant.

More than ten different types of Fist Intent, mixed with pure Martial Dao insights, surged into Chu Mo's mind like a mountain roar and a sea tide, causing him to instantly enter the world of Fist Intent.

Chu Mo began to comprehend.

The Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo operated on its own, and Daorhyme manifested, enveloping him.

In an instant.

He entered a state of Dao comprehension, and the Fist Intent on his body also soared.

As for Ling Baishuang,

She sat nearby, her eyes fixed on Chu Mo without blinking, gazing at his extraordinary demeanor and handsome appearance, her eyes filled with joy and admiration.

.

Just as Chu Mo was comprehending the Fist Intent.

At the same time.

Gu Shaoshang and the others were also searching for Chu Mo's figure.

However,

Because they had not captured Chu Mo's aura, they couldn't accurately locate Chu Mo's position, and although they had searched in the Void Tomb for a long time, they still hadn't found any trace of him.

Left with no choice,

These Prodigies could only temporarily give up searching and instead began to look for Opportunities.

After all, they had already delayed for too long.

The Void Tomb was only open for half a month, and it was now not far from closing; if they continued to delay, they might gain nothing from this trip to the Void Tomb.

Under such circumstances,

The entire Void Tomb world fell into tranquility.

Every Prodigy was searching for their own Opportunity.

Some gained benefits and soared to prominence.

Others fell into crisis and perished.

Even Martial Artists would attack each other, and many lives were lost every day.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

On this day,

Under the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

Chu Mo finally recovered from comprehending the Fist Intent.

He opened his eyes.

Only to see vast Fist Intent auras still fluctuating within them, containing power that seemed capable of shattering the sky and earth.

A moment later,

These Fist Intents gradually receded, eventually settling down.

“Twenty percent Fist Intent!”

Chu Mo slowly exhaled, murmuring softly.

His words carried a hint of satisfaction.

The true meaning of Fist Dao contained within this Fist Intent stone tablet was extremely vibrant, remaining exceptionally clear even after such a long time.

Therefore, with the Comprehension Ability boost from Chu Mo's Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo, coupled with the assistance of the Martial Saint Incarnate, Chu Mo was able to directly bypass the Fist Intent seed and instantly step into Fist Intent, comprehending it directly to twenty percent!

This was already an extremely terrifying level!

Ordinary Martial Artists would need at least ten years to comprehend to this extent.

And that's assuming they are exceptionally talented.

Otherwise, even a lifetime might not be enough to even get started.

“Twenty percent Fist Intent is enough to further enhance the power of my Dragon Elephant Undying Scripture. If I were to once again unleash my Qi and blood Dragon Elephant into a single punch, if I were to encounter Jun Tianye again, he would definitely be blasted into pieces by my single punch, without even a chance to speak!”

Chu Mo stood up, thinking to himself.

“Senior Brother Chu Mo, you're awake?”

At this moment, Ling Baishuang spoke.

“Mm.”

Chu Mo looked at Ling Baishuang, gazing at her delicate face, and said softly, “Thank you for protecting me.”

“It's my duty.”

Ling Baishuang smiled sweetly.

Chu Mo said nothing more, his gaze shifting to the mountain in front of them.

Looking at the layers of stone steps extending from the foot of the mountain to the summit, he couldn't help but let out a long breath: “Let's go, let's climb the mountain!”

Saying this,

Chu Mo took Ling Baishuang's hand, preparing to ascend the mountain.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the two ascended the steps, and the moment they stepped onto the stone steps, they immediately felt their surroundings change dramatically.

There were records in Taichu Holy Land.

In ancient times, many large Sects, when recruiting new Disciples, would have Heart-Nature tests such as the Mind-Questioning Path and the Bridge of Life and Death.

This was the first hurdle to joining a Sect.

Only by passing could one formally enter the Sect's gates, be taught the Sect's unique arts, and gain the Opportunity to contend for the Martial Dao and rise to prominence.

Therefore,

Such tests were also called the Heavenly Ladder or the Qingyun Path in ancient times.

Symbolizing that once crossed, one could soar straight up and rise to prominence.

However, unfortunately,

Many major forces in the Eastern Wang Dao Domain today are newly risen, and apart from Taichu Holy Land, most have only been passed down for tens of thousands of years, so these Mind-Questioning Paths and Bridges of Life and Death have not been preserved.

Many Sects, when recruiting Disciples, only look at Aptitude and talent, but lack the process of scrutinizing the Dao Heart and facing life and death directly.

Even among the few top forces like Taichu Holy Land, although they still preserve such Legacy, it is only as a ritual and not a primary assessment criterion.

And in this way,

Although more Disciples are recruited, and there seem to be many with extraordinary talent, it is inevitable that the Heart-Nature of Disciples will be uneven.

But there's no way around it.

After all, the Mind-Questioning Path and the Bridge of Life and Death are extremely strict, and few can pass the assessment except for those with extraordinary talent.
