178: Section 178

“As for how much benefit you can gain from it, and what Realm you can reach, that will entirely depend on your personal Opportunity. Do you understand?”

Chu Mo nodded, stating solemnly, “Disciple understands.”

“That’s good then.”

Elder Qu nodded slightly, stopping there and not dwelling on the topic.

He merely instructed, “Little Leaf Azure Heaven still needs a few days of preparation before it opens. During this time, you should first Cultivate in seclusion, conserve your energy, and simply await the opportune moment to enter!”

Chu Mo naturally nodded.

Subsequently,

Elder Qu turned and departed.

Watching him disappear into the distant sky, Chu Mo couldn’t help but let out a long, turbid breath.

Although Elder Qu didn’t say much,

Chu Mo still understood the underlying meaning behind some of his words.

Now that he had displayed extraordinary Aptitude and performed so brilliantly in the Sword Tournament, he was renowned throughout the Dao Domain. Countless people knew his Aptitude and foundation were remarkable, yet the many Elders of Taichu Holy Land still favored the First Quasi-Saint Child more.

This meant that,

In their hearts, this First Quasi-Saint Child, named Jiang Taixuan, possessed an Aptitude even more terrifying than what Chu Mo had displayed.

So much so that they believed Chu Mo still couldn't defeat him.

Undoubtedly,

Although at this moment he had only heard his name and had not yet seen the person, his strength was already enough to create an invisible pressure on people.

However…

“Little Leaf Azure Heaven…”

“Jiang Taixuan!”

Chu Mo murmured, and after a moment, suddenly smiled freely.

So what if Jiang Taixuan’s Aptitude was extraordinary, surpassing even the ancients?

Let him be strong, like a gentle breeze caressing a mountain peak.

He had forged the Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo, his Aptitude was unparalleled, and coupled with the astonishing Opportunity of being able to view life scripts, he was invincible, not to mention dominating the current era, but even sweeping across all eternity!

Under such circumstances,

How could he harbor thoughts of hesitation and fear because of a mere Jiang Taixuan?

Thinking of this,

The heaviness in Chu Mo’s heart immediately vanished, and his state of mind even ascended to a higher level, instantly feeling a sense of boundless freedom.

Immediately,

He looked back at Taichu Peak, then flicked his sleeve and headed straight for Taihua Peak.

On Taichu Peak,

The Sect Master watched Chu Mo’s change in state of mind and couldn’t help but nod slightly.

Beside him,

Qu Wuyi even spoke, “This Child, whether in Aptitude or state of mind, can be called unparalleled in the world! Compared to Jiang Taixuan, though their conduct differs, he is by no means inferior!”

“Yes, but it’s a pity.”

The Sect Master first nodded, but then shook his head, saying, “Either of these two, placed in any era, could shine brilliantly, sweep across the Dao Domain for thousands of years, and achieve unparalleled accomplishments. Yet now they are born in the same era!”

“In this golden age of great contention, it is destined that only one person will rise like a blazing sun, while the other will be overshadowed by his brilliance!”

Qu Wuyi also showed regret.

Chu Mo had grown up under his watchful eye, reaching this level.

And although Jiang Taixuan had not yet displayed his prowess in the Dao Domain, he was invincible in the Ancient Domain, truly a Prodigy of astonishing talent.

These two,

Could be said to be Prodigies rarely seen throughout eternity.

If they had been born in any past era, they would have certainly left their mark on history, their names remembered for thousands of years, dominating an entire era.

But now, they were born together, contending for the Luck of the great era.

It was destined that only one would rise like a blazing sun, while the other would be overshadowed by his brilliance, unable to stand out.

It had to be said, it was extremely regrettable.

“I wonder, which of these two will ultimately prevail!”

“Let’s wait and see!”

As the two conversed, both were filled with emotion.

Taihua Peak.

As soon as Chu Mo returned, Zhao Chan, Chu Lianxing, and others had already received the news and came one after another to congratulate Chu Mo on winning first place in the Sword Tournament.

He chatted with them for a few moments in the hall.

Then he was about to go into seclusion, but just at that moment, he heard Zhao Chan say, “Oh, Young Master, a few days ago the Saintess came out of seclusion and visited Taihua Peak to find you, but you were participating in the Sword Tournament of Various Sects and hadn’t returned yet, so she left.”

“Lian Yue was looking for me?”

Chu Mo was momentarily stunned.

Ever since Su Lian Yue displayed her Aptitude and was designated as the Saintess, she had been arranged by the Sect to Cultivate in a certain Secret Realm, and had not appeared since, making it difficult for Chu Mo to meet her.

Now that she had come to find him, she must have finished her seclusion and been able to come out.

Thinking of this,

Chu Mo sent her a message, stating that he had returned.

And just as his message was sent, he suddenly heard a commotion from down the mountain, and then heard the steward come to report that the Saintess had come to request an audience.

“She came so fast?”

Chu Mo was a little surprised, and then personally went out to greet her.

“Young Master!”

Arriving in mid-air, he saw a young woman dressed in a palace gown, with skin as white as snow and an incomparably beautiful face, appearing before him.

It was none other than the current Taichu Holy Maiden, Su Lian Yue.

Upon seeing Chu Mo, her originally somewhat aloof demeanor, due to her Aptitude Awakening, suddenly dissipated, and a joyful smile appeared on her delicate face.

Chu Mo glanced at Su Lian Yue’s information.

【Name】: Su Lian Yue

【Realm】: Creation Realm Second Layer

【Fate】: Empress Reincarnation (Gold) Alluring Beauty (Gold)

【Destiny】: Protagonist Halo (Gold), Daughter of Destiny (Gold), Prosperous for Husband (Gold), Divine Edge Concealed Radiance (Gold)…

【Life Script】: (“True Phoenix Empress” Protagonist)

【Affection】: 80

【Recent Turning Point】: Two months later, restless from seclusion, she travels to the Western reaches of the Dao Domain and obtains a heaven-shaking Opportunity.

…

They hadn’t seen each other for such a short time,

Her Realm had already climbed to the Creation Realm Second Layer, which greatly moved Chu Mo.

“She truly lives up to being the Daughter of Destiny Protagonist in a great female lead story. This level of Aptitude is truly incomparably powerful!”

Chu Mo secretly sighed.

He had obtained countless Opportunities during this period, finally reaching the Yang God Realm, but compared to Su Lian Yue, he was still somewhat inferior.

Furthermore,

Her affection for him also surprised Chu Mo.

Since Su Lian Yue became the Saintess, and after such a long time apart, Chu Mo had originally thought her affection might have slightly decreased. He had planned to properly pursue her once he finished his current tasks.

But who knew it would not only not decrease but even increase, with her affection directly rising to 80 points.

“This little girl, could it be that during this time, she was Cultivating in seclusion alone, and kept recalling my kindness to her, thus self-strategizing!”

Chu Mo secretly thought.

He felt this was the most likely possibility.

After all, she was a young girl who had never felt kindness before. Although after she became the Saintess, countless people around her flattered and tried to curry favor.

But those who were kind to her when she wasn’t in such a position could still leave a very deep impression in her heart.

Moreover, Chu Mo was not just an ordinary person, but an unrivaled Prodigy.
