146: Section 146

Xiao Bufan shook his head and said.

“Not just you and me!”

Qian Xuanzhen said, “Gu Ruochen, and even the Second and Third Quasi-Saint Child, they probably have no hope either… The final Saint candidate will most likely fall to Chu Mo and that person!”

“That’s true!”

Hearing Qian Xuanzhen mention that person, Xiao Bufan couldn’t help but nod.

But then.

A look of anticipation appeared on his face: “I wonder who among these two will ultimately become the true Saint!”

“No matter who it is, it is a blessing for our Taichu Holy Land!”

Qian Xuanzhen smiled.

Then, he patted Xiao Bufan’s shoulder, took a deep breath, and said, “Let’s go. This Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo has just defeated Gu Ruochen and displayed extraordinary Prodigy. You and I should immediately prepare generous gifts to show him goodwill, and at the same time, express that we will not participate in the Saint competition, so as to avoid being challenged by him and perhaps even getting beaten!”

“I don’t want to be suppressed by Chu Mo as powerfully as Gu Ruochen was, in front of everyone!”

After speaking.

Before Xiao Bufan could reply, he himself showed a wry smile.

After all, they were also Quasi-Saints!

They were the cream of the true Disciples, with hopes of contending for the Saint position.

But now.

They could only directly give up the contention for the Saint position and instead show goodwill to another Quasi-Saint Child.

As for Xiao Bufan, he also shook his head and sighed at this moment.

The conversation between the two Quasi-Saints was unknown to outsiders.

As this battle ended, many Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land gradually dispersed, and the envoys from various forces also left the Holy Land one after another, preparing to immediately report this news to their respective sect masters or family heads.

The shocking atmosphere of 490 still permeated the entire Holy Land.

And it can be expected.

This atmosphere will not dissipate for a long time, and will spread to the outside world as time goes on.

The outside disturbances did not bother Chu Mo.

At this moment.

He had already returned to Taihua Peak.

Zhao Chan, who had already learned the outcome of the battle, showed a joyful expression, and the two women, Ling Baishuang and Chu Lianxing, were also extremely happy.

And Elder Shaoguang and Elder Jiuling also rushed over immediately to congratulate Chu Mo.

“It is a great thing that Young Master was able to powerfully suppress Gu Ruochen today!”

Elder Jiuling said with a smile, “That Quasi-Saint Child Gu Ruochen has considerable strength, and his Heart-Nature is also quite rare. He once challenged the First Quasi-Saint Child, and after being powerfully suppressed by him, he never mentioned challenging again. Instead, when he went out, no matter where he was, he spoke highly of him!”

“And now that Young Master has also powerfully suppressed him, I’m afraid Gu Ruochen will also make a name for you in the future!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

And Chu Mo recalled Gu Ruochen’s personality and also felt that the other party might really do so, but when he thought of the scene of him making a name for himself in front of other Prodigies, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

The few of them chatted idly here for a while.

But suddenly, they heard a steward come to report that Qian Xuanzhen and Xiao Bufan had sent someone to deliver gifts.

“Qian Xuanzhen, Xiao Bufan?”

Chu Mo was a little surprised.

Elder Jiuling immediately explained, “These two are the Fifth and Sixth Quasi-Saints respectively!”

Chu Mo suddenly understood, and then said, “In that case… please invite them up!”

Soon.

Two middle-aged Martial Artists dressed as stewards arrived at Taihua Peak.

“Greetings, Quasi-Saint Child!”

The two saw Chu Mo and quickly bowed.

“May I ask, what brings the two Elders here this time?”

Chu Mo asked.

The two immediately explained their master’s intentions. Although the words were different, the meaning they conveyed was extremely consistent.

Roughly, it was to congratulate Chu Mo on defeating Gu Ruochen, and therefore, they specially prepared generous gifts.

At the same time, they also hoped to interact more with him in the future, to spar and discuss the Dao with each other, hoping that Chu Mo would not introduce them.

After hearing these words.

Chu Mo immediately understood their meaning.

They were indirectly showing him goodwill, indicating that they would no longer contend with him for the Saint position.

Upon realizing this, Chu Mo immediately nodded and said, “Since that is the case, I will accept the gifts. Please convey to the two Quasi-Saints that Chu Mo is deeply honored and welcomes their presence at any time to spar and discuss the Dao!”

“Yes!”

Both stewards noted these words.

Then, seeing that Chu Mo had no other instructions, they both excused themselves.

“Congratulations, Young Master! Now even the Fourth and Fifth Quasi-Saints have been convinced, and you are one step closer to the Saint position!”

After the two left.

Elder Shaoguang and Elder Jiuling immediately congratulated him.

“Still far from it!”

Chu Mo shook his head and said.

The Fifth Quasi-Saint Child and the Sixth Quasi-Saint Child were both inferior in strength to Gu Ruochen.

It was normal for them to show goodwill.

For Chu Mo.

The real difficulty was the Third, Second, and even the First Quasi-Saint Child above Gu Ruochen!

Only by suppressing these three as well could he be completely secure!

However.

Chu Mo was not overly worried.

As his cultivation progressed day by day.

He believed, and had always firmly believed, that these people would eventually be suppressed by him, and that the sole Saint position would undoubtedly fall into his hands!

Chapter 85: Cultivating in seclusion, the East Dao Domain rises, the Saint Lord arrives at Taichu, seeking marriage!

Chu Mo entered into seclusion.

Although he successfully defeated Gu Ruochen, and even made the Fifth and Sixth Quasi-Saints proactively show goodwill, greatly increasing his prestige throughout the Eastern Wang Dao Domain, he did not become complacent because of this.

He deeply understood that the treatment he currently received was solely due to his strength!

Within the Holy Land, Prodigy reigns Supreme.

Among Martial Artists, strength is revered.

Without strength, these empty names are nothing but a reflection in water.

Only by making himself stronger can he go further on the Martial Dao path and continue the undefeated myth.

In the quiet room.

Chu Mo sat cross-legged.

“The trip to the Void Tomb has greatly increased my Foundation, and both my Sword Intent and Fist Intent have the potential for further improvement!”

“It just so happens that the time for the Sword Tournament of Various Sects in the East Dao Domain is approaching!”

“I should take this time to properly cultivate in seclusion for a while, to elevate my strength to a higher level!”

Chu Mo thought to himself.

The Sword Tournament of Various Sects in the East Dao Domain is a grand event held once every century throughout the entire Eastern Wang Dao Domain.

At that time, numerous Holy Lands and great sects within the entire Eastern Wang Dao Domain will send their most top-tier Prodigies to participate in the competition. If one can rank among the best or even win first place, they will receive generous rewards and greatly enhance their Prodigy’s reputation, overshadowing others for a time.

It can be said that.

Most of the most top-tier Prodigies throughout the history of the East Dao Domain began their brilliant journey of sweeping an era during the Sword Tournament of Various Sects in the East Dao Domain.

For example, the current Sect Master Supreme of the Taichu Holy Land, in his youth, once dominated countless Prodigies at the Sword Tournament of Various Sects in the East Dao Domain, his brilliance overshadowing Prodigies of the same era for hundreds of years, preventing them from rising, and thus he was the first to step into the Great Saint and even the Saint Lord Realm.

Up to now.
