24: Section 24

This was simply a laughingstock.

But Su Lian Yue believed it.

Her face was wreathed in smiles, and her eyes were fixed on Chu Mo.

Her beautiful eyes, deep and clear, seemed to hold countless stars, shining with a brilliance Chu Mo had never seen before.

“Young Master will definitely become the Taichu Holy Son in the future!”

She raised her fist and said with utmost seriousness.

It is worth mentioning.

Perhaps it was because her talent was gradually recovering.

During Chu Mo’s seclusion, Su Lian Yue’s originally slender body began to grow taller, her sallow skin gradually turned fair, and even her facial features began to change. Almost every day, she became more beautiful than before.

Occasionally, she would inadvertently reveal an air of elegance and aloofness.

Just like at this moment.

Even Chu Mo was momentarily lost in thought.

But he quickly recovered.

“The demeanor of a Reincarnation Empress and her stunning beauty are indeed terrifying!”

“She’s only just begun to recover, and she’s already so breathtaking. I can’t imagine what kind of grace she’ll possess once she fully Awakens!”

Chu Mo was a little dumbfounded.

...

Inside the quiet room, Chu Mo continued his seclusion.

This time, he would make a concerted effort to break through to the Tongxuan Realm!

He took out a Spirit Pill.

And directly consumed one.

Feeling the energy within his body instantly dissipate, Chu Mo immediately closed his eyes and circulated the Taichu Body Tempering Scripture to absorb and digest it, enhancing his strength.

Time flowed slowly.

As Chu Mo went into seclusion, the date of the Taichu Holy Land Outer Sect Great Competition gradually approached, and the entire Outer Sect Peak became increasingly lively.

Many Martial Artists who were qualified to advance to the Inner Sect seized the last moments to further improve their cultivation and strength, hoping to secure a good ranking.

And some Outer Sect or Inner Sect Disciples who were watching the excitement were eagerly discussing the popular candidates for this Great Competition.

Some even opened betting pools, placing wagers on certain popular candidates.

Chu Mo was among them.

After all, he had defeated Zhao Hu and even killed Zhao Feng, who was already an Inner Sect Disciple, on the Life-and-Death Stage. His strength was considerable, and he was recognized by many. There was basically no disagreement about whether he could enter the Inner Sect.

The only point of contention was what rank he would ultimately achieve.

Some believed he could enter the top ten, but others disagreed.

This Outer Sect Great Competition had tens of thousands of Disciples participating, many of whom possessed extraordinary Aptitude.

While Chu Mo’s strength was indeed not weak,

Among these popular candidates, he was only considered average.

Therefore, many did not hold out hope for him to enter the top ten.

Instead, they focused their attention on the popular contenders for the top ten.

“I am determined to win first place in this Great Competition!”

A Genius who was immensely popular in the Outer Sect and highly sought after by many declared with great ambition.

Another Outer Sect expert, who was usually the focus of much attention, also spoke up.

Stating that he was also very interested in the first place position in the Great Competition!

It wasn’t just these two.

Many Martial Artists who believed themselves to be strong enough to contend for the top ten also made grand pronouncements.

Under such circumstances,

The atmosphere throughout the Outer Sect Peak was filled with excitement.

What no one knew was that,

In a secluded small house on Outer Sect Peak,

A plain-looking youth dressed in simple clothes, yet with exceptionally resolute eyes, clenched his fists.

“Follow the flow, and you are a Mortal; go against it, and you are an Immortal!”

“In this Outer Sect Great Competition, I will definitely advance to the Inner Sect, so that those who once looked down on me will regret it!”

He roared silently in his heart, his eyes seemingly spewing flames.

Chapter 21: Outer Sect Disciple Zhang Fan, Advances to Tongxuan Realm!

The youth’s name was Zhang Fan.

He was originally a Mortal, living in a mountain village since childhood.

His parents were alive and well, and his family was happy.

Although their life was relatively poor, this kind of life was already better than that of most ordinary people in the world.

But Zhang Fan was not satisfied.

From a young age, he yearned for the outside world and was unwilling to spend his entire life in the mountain village, living a life where he could see the future at a glance.

He hoped that one day he could become a powerful figure like those who moved mountains and filled seas in storybooks, and see more of the world.

For this.

He left his hometown, hoping to join a Sect.

After enduring countless hardships, he finally managed to reach the Taichu Holy Land, wanting to enter the Sect, but was stopped because of his insufficient Aptitude.

Fortunately, his Heart-Nature was firm. He knelt outside the Sect for several days without eating or drinking, and finally, with great perseverance, he moved the Deacon, who, as an exception, listed him as an Outer Sect Disciple.

However,

His Aptitude was simply too poor!

After becoming an Outer Sect Disciple, his peers were already at Body Tempering third or fourth stage, while he had barely reached Body Tempering first stage.

When some of his peers had already advanced to the Inner Sect, he had only reached Body Tempering third stage.

He had worked tirelessly, putting in more sweat than others.

But the ultimate gains he received were far less than one-tenth of what others achieved!

Imagining the mockery in the eyes of those Outer Sect Disciples who looked at him on a daily basis, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

However,

All of that was in the past!

Not long ago, he accidentally obtained a rare treasure during an outing, which not only improved his Aptitude but also gave him the talent for refining Medicinal Pills.

With the help of this rare treasure, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds.

Moreover,

By selling Medicinal Pills, he had also accumulated a considerable fortune.

“Just you wait!”

“This Outer Sect Great Competition is my chance to soar!”

“Those who once looked down on me will all be trampled underfoot!”

“I, Zhang Fan, will step by step, step by step, reach the peak of the Martial Dao, look down upon the world’s mountains and rivers, and witness the most magnificent scenery!”

Zhang Fan made a vow in his heart.

...

The outside noise did not disturb Chu Mo, who was in seclusion.

At this moment,

He had entered the most crucial period.

His entire body’s bones emitted a brilliant golden light, his blood surged through his veins like a great river, and his Origin Qi rolled like ocean waves.

His entire body exuded a terrifying aura.

“Break!”

Chu Mo roared.

All the blood and Origin Qi in his body flowed towards his abdomen. At the same time, a vast Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth surged towards him, forming a huge funnel above his head, pouring into Chu Mo’s body.
