148: Section 148

Time flowed by swiftly.

Unbeknownst how long.

Chu Mo finally awoke from his seclusion.

“Two hundred and sixty-seven Qi and Blood Dragon Elephants!”

Letting out a long breath, Chu Mo murmured.

Two months of seclusion.

Had caused his Dragon Elephant Undying Scripture to directly increase from the original one hundred and fifty-five Qi and Blood Dragon Elephants to the current two hundred and sixty-seven!

His growth could be described as miraculous!

More importantly.

With the help of the Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo, his Fist Intent had also advanced from twenty percent to thirty percent!

If this speed were to spread, it would undoubtedly be utterly astonishing.

Even Chu Mo was quite satisfied.

“Next, I need to comprehend Sword Intent and Cultivate the Taichu Slashing Dao Scripture!”

Compared to the Dragon Elephant Undying Scripture, which still required auxiliary resources.

The Taichu Slashing Dao Scripture relied purely on Comprehension Ability.

Under such circumstances.

If he were to Cultivate in seclusion, his progress would be somewhat slow, but if he were in a place rich in Sword Intent, it would greatly accelerate his Cultivation progress.

As for a place rich in Sword Intent.

Undoubtedly.

The Sword Dismantling Pavilion at the mountain gate was the best location.

Although the sealed Sword Dao True Intent there could not be absorbed, it was, after all, left behind by a powerful expert of the Taichu Holy Land, and it contained an extremely blazing Sword Dao Qi. Cultivating nearby would greatly enhance his comprehension of Sword Intent and even the Taichu Slashing Dao Scripture.

Thinking of this.

Chu Mo directly stood up and walked out of his Cultivation chamber.

Creak!

As the door opened, Chu Mo stepped out.

He saw Zhao Chan standing at the entrance.

“Young Master!”

Seeing Chu Mo emerge from seclusion, Zhao Chan quickly came forward to greet him.

Feeling the even more profound strength emanating from Chu Mo, she immediately said with a charming smile, “Congratulations, Young Master, on your improved strength!”

“Just a small gain.”

Chu Mo smiled faintly, then said, “During my seclusion recently, has anything happened in the Sect?”

“There hasn’t been anything major, but ever since you defeated Gu Ruochen, many major powers from the Eastern Region have sent people to visit the Chu Family, and there are even those who wish to form marriage alliances with members of the Chu Family!”

“The Family Head is undecided, so he sent someone to deliver a message to you. These are roughly the Families and Sects involved; he will only agree after you have reviewed them and given your approval.”

As she spoke.

Zhao Chan handed over a Jade Slip.

Chu Mo’s Divine Sense entered it.

He quickly scanned it, noting that the Sects proposing marriage alliances were all well-known powers in the Eastern Region. Although not top-tier, they were all on good terms with the Taichu Holy Land and did not act overbearingly, making them quite commendable.

Moreover, Chu Mo also noticed that the targets of their proposals or alliances were all collateral descendants of the Chu Family, and he nodded inwardly.

He was not opposed to marriage alliances.

He couldn’t always help the Family; there would always be times when he couldn’t attend to everything. If the Chu Family could use marriage alliances to build good relations with various forces, their influence would become more deeply rooted, and they could develop further in the future.

“No problem, let’s go with this.”

Chu Mo said.

“In that case, I will reply to the Family Head as such.”

Zhao Chan said.

Afterward.

Chu Mo prepared to leave Taihua Peak and head towards the mountain gate.

But just then, he heard Zhao Chan suddenly speak.

“Oh, there’s one more thing.”

She seemed to recall something and said, “A few days ago, the Sect Master sent someone to invite you. Knowing you were in seclusion, he left a message for you to go to Taichu Peak after you emerge!”

“The Sect Master wants to see me?”

Chu Mo was momentarily stunned.

Although he was somewhat surprised, he didn’t delay and immediately headed towards Taichu Peak.

Taichu Peak.

Chu Mo arrived here by using a teleportation array.

Several guards in golden armor were stationed by the teleportation array. Upon seeing Chu Mo, their expressions immediately changed, and they quickly stepped forward to salute: “Greetings, Quasi-Saint Child!”

Their attitude was very respectful.

A Quasi-Saint Child, though not a true Saint, already held an extraordinary position within the Taichu Holy Land.

Aside from the Sect Master, the Grand Elder, and the Hall Masters of Duzhen Hall and the other two halls, before a Saint was chosen and before the various Old Ancestors and Seniors of the Sect emerged, the Quasi-Saint Child held the most esteemed position.

He had the authority to mobilize Sect Elders, deacons, and the treasury, and when traveling outside, he even had a grand procession.

The many forces under the Holy Land’s jurisdiction would obey his commands.

It was no exaggeration to say he held a high and powerful position.

“Is the Sect Master on the mountain?”

Chu Mo nodded slightly and asked.

“Yes!”

“Not only the Sect Master, but Elder Qu of Duzhen Hall is also here!”

The leading guard respectfully replied.

Chu Mo nodded slightly, thanked them, and then proceeded directly up the mountain.

As for these guards, they were extremely flattered.

To receive a thank you from the Quasi-Saint Child was enough for them to boast to their colleagues for a long time.

Arriving at the grand hall on the mountaintop.

Chu Mo was about to ask someone to announce his arrival when he saw a young attendant walk out of the hall.

“Senior Brother Chu Mo, the Sect Master already knows you’re here. You may enter directly.”

The attendant said respectfully.

Hearing this, Chu Mo showed no surprise, nodded to him, and then stepped inside.

Entering the hall.

He saw the Sect Master seated high on the main seat, and Elder Qu was cross-legged on the first cloud couch on the left.

In addition to them.

On the right was an unfamiliar middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a profound aura, who was currently looking at him with curiosity.

“Chu Mo greets the Sect Master!”

Upon entering the hall, Chu Mo immediately bowed to the Sect Master, and then gave a slight bow to Elder Qu.

“You are already a Quasi-Saint Child; there is no need for such formality.”

The Sect Master smiled, then waved his hand and said loudly, “Someone, prepare a seat for the Quasi-Saint Child.”

As his voice fell.

A young attendant brought over a cloud couch from the side.

“Thank you, Sect Master!”

Chu Mo bowed again, then calmly sat down on the cloud couch.

At this moment.

He heard the Sect Master point to the unfamiliar middle-aged man standing to one side and say, “Chu Mo, let me introduce you. This is the current Imperial Lord of the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty, Mystic Prime Saint Lord!”

“The reason I called you here earlier was because he wanted to see you, but you were in seclusion at the time, so he stayed here for a while longer. It’s good that you’ve emerged now!”

The Saint Lord of the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty wants to see me?
