123: Section 123

The Mind-Questioning Path probes the Dao Heart; every word and action is watched by heaven and earth, carrying great Karma.

As a Taichu Disciple, Chu Mo naturally could not answer casually, lest he become entangled with a Sect that had long since disappeared into history. Hence, he identified himself as a Taichu Disciple.

Fortunately,

this phantom was merely a residual image of a predecessor, following a predetermined process, so there was nothing unusual about its reaction to Chu Mo's answer.

“Can you act with a clear conscience, advance with courage and diligence, and not diminish the prestige of my Sect?”

“I am a Tai Chu True Disciple, and I shall naturally uphold the might of Taichu!”

Chu Mo performed a second bow, speaking solemnly.

“If one day you rise with the wind and reach the peak of the clouds, what will be your wish then?”

As the third question was posed,

Chu Mo did not answer as unhesitatingly as before.

The Mind-Questioning Path interrogates the Dao Heart; it is by no means a simple inquiry, but rather a great Divine Ability that directly points to one's true self.

Therefore, this exchange of questions and answers tests the Martial Artist’s own firmness of Dao Heart!

Hence,

Chu Mo also questioned himself inwardly.

“If I rise with the wind one day and reach the peak of the clouds, what wish should I have?”

The voice still echoed in his ears.

But Chu Mo’s thoughts had already stirred up a storm.

When he first arrived in this world and learned of the Martial Dao for longevity, his initial wish was merely to successfully join a Sect, unwilling to live another life in mediocrity, subservient to others.

Yet, after thirteen years of stagnation, though Chu Mo’s resolve never wavered, he gradually fell into despair.

Ultimately, the thought of giving up arose.

But at this critical juncture, he obtained his Golden Finger, which allowed him to view life scripts, thereby changing his destiny and ascending against the heavens.

Now,

he had become a Tai Chu True Disciple of Taichu Holy Land.

Possessing the Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo, and with the blessings of numerous destinies and Fates, he was clearly a Prodigy in the world, with the hope of contending for the Taichu Holy Son position and, in the future, taking charge of this Taichu Holy Land, which had been passed down for countless generations.

020 And he himself,

had the hope and future of reaching the peak of the Martial Dao.

Under such circumstances,

what wish should he… have?

As he thought this,

scenes suddenly flashed continuously before his eyes.

There was the scene of him first entering the Holy Land, full of ambition, only to discover his mediocre Aptitude.

There was also the scene of his countless efforts, yet never receiving any reward.

And even the scene of him being discussed and even ridiculed by others.

Furthermore,

there was also the scene where he used his Golden Finger to obtain his first Opportunity.

And the scene where he forged his Dao foundation with the congenital pure yang bone.

Also, his acquaintance with Su Lian Yue and the cultivation of their good feelings.

And his acquaintance with Ling Baishuang, leading to their current intimate relationship.

And the scene where, after possessing powerful strength, he was valued by the Sect, respected by Disciples, and feared by outsiders.

Annihilating Cangyuan Palace, slaying Zhang Fan, suppressing Night Heavenly Monarch…

Scene after scene flashed continuously, finally all shattering.

…

Unbeknownst to him, Chu Mo already had an answer in his heart.

He took a deep breath.

His eyes were bright, his body stood tall like a pine, his entire Aura was complete and unified, carrying soaring confidence and peerless arrogance. He spoke solemnly, word by word.

“If one day I reach the peak of the mountain…”

“I shall naturally sweep through the current era, unrivaled, my true self shining through the ages, making all heavens know my name!”

Boom!

The moment his voice fell,

Chu Mo suddenly felt a lightness all over his body, as if the dust in his heart and the burdens on his body had all been removed.

In an instant, he underwent a complete transformation!

At the same time,

a vast and boundless heavenly Dao, a rainbow bridge forged from endless immortal radiance, extended downwards from the mountain peak, spreading along his feet all the way to the base of the mountain.

Seeing this scene,

Chu Mo did not hesitate, a carefree smile on his face, his hands clasped behind his back, he ascended step by step.

One step!

One step!

And another step!

As he continuously ascended,

within the Void Realm, streaks of incredibly brilliant immortal radiance diffused, a grand Dao sound resounded, playing beautiful immortal music, and countless Dao Rhythms intertwined, forming chains of order that descended.

Bells and drums chimed in unison, divine sounds interwove.

Laws converged, immortal light crisscrossed.

Countless heavenly phenomena arrived in quick succession, continuously manifesting in mid-air, reaching the utmost profundity.

At the same time,

those brilliant Dao Rhythms and various immortal lights also flowed into his body along the rainbow bridge, causing Chu Mo, at this moment, to emit a dazzling glow all over.

He was like a true immortal descending upon the world, making onlookers unable to resist prostrating themselves in worship.

Under such circumstances,

Chu Mo could clearly feel that

his body was undergoing earth-shattering changes!

His bones, Meridians, and blood vessels were continuously transforming, as if undergoing a complete rebirth.

Unbeknownst to him,

Chu Mo began to circulate the Tai Chu Refining Spirit Method, absorbing these energies to increase his strength.

At the same time,

the Dragon Elephant Undying Scripture also began to circulate, accompanied by the continuous roar of tigers and leopards, and the continuous echoing of Dragon Elephant cries.

Chu Mo’s Physical Body was continuously strengthening!

Drops of Qi and blood were continuously Awakening, transforming into ancient Dragon Elephants!

The thirty-seventh Qi and blood Dragon Elephant!

The thirty-eighth Qi and blood Dragon Elephant!

The thirty-ninth Qi and blood Dragon Elephant!

…

The seventy-ninth Qi and blood Dragon Elephant!

The eightieth Qi and blood Dragon Elephant!

Finally!

When Chu Mo had Awakened eighty-one Qi and blood Dragon Elephants within his body, all the Qi and blood completely erupted, forming a sharp, brilliant light that suddenly shot up into the sky, directly piercing into the heavens.

The light was straight, like a bolt of silk.

Carrying an unstoppable momentum, a majestic Aura, and a vast, boundless expanse.

Under such might,

the scorching sun, as bright as it was, seemed to be awed by its power, quietly hiding behind the clouds.

At the same time,

the terrifying phenomenon also alarmed many Prodigies in the Void Tomb.
