34: Section 34

Even Ancestor Li Yue, after observing for a while, praised, “Her physique is pure and flawless, her Dao foundation is incredibly profound, and she has even conceived an Innate Dao Embryo. She truly deserves the title of Prodigy!”

After speaking,

she looked at Su Lian Yue and said, “Chu Mo, your maid has extraordinary talent. She is the Reincarnation of an Empress and possesses the True Phoenix destiny. If she can be carefully nurtured, she will surely reach the peak of Martial Dao in the future. The Holy Land wishes to establish her as a Saintess, but she only listens to you. Why don’t you persuade her?”

Upon hearing this,

Chu Mo looked at Su Lian Yue and gently asked, “Do you want to become the Taichu Holy Maiden?”

“I only wish to stay by Young Master’s side.”

Su Lian Yue said in a low voice.

“If you wish to stay by my side, your current state is not enough.”

“I have already become a Tai Chu True Disciple, with limitless potential in the future. I will surely climb to higher Realms and live for a long time. If you do not have a matching Realm cultivation, how can you follow me?”

At this point,

Chu Mo stroked Su Lian Yue’s head and smiled, “Go and become the Taichu Holy Maiden. Let the Old Ancestors teach you cultivation and fully unleash your unparalleled talent… I hope that when I reach the pinnacle of Martial Dao in the future, I can see you standing beside me!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Lian Yue suddenly looked up.

Her eyes were brilliant, containing an unprecedented brightness. Beneath her ice-like skin and jade-like bones, her beauty was enough to captivate nations.

“Lian Yue understands!”

Su Lian Yue nodded, then earnestly said, “I will definitely not let Young Master down!”

With that,

she shifted her gaze to Ancestor Li Yue, and said with determined eyes, “I am willing to become the Taichu Holy Maiden!”

“Good, good, good!”

Hearing Su Lian Yue’s answer, all the Old Ancestors were overjoyed.

The position of Taichu Holy Maiden had been vacant for thousands of years, and now there was finally a candidate. For the Holy Land, this was a great joyous occasion.

And the Supreme Sect Master of Taichu Holy Land spoke at the opportune moment: “By my command, immediately announce to the world that Su Lian Yue is promoted to Taichu Holy Maiden!”

“Greetings, Saintess!”

Throughout the entire sect, countless outer Disciples, inner Disciples, and even True Disciples and ordinary Elders, all bowed in unison.

Celebrating the new Saintess of Taichu Holy Land.

At the same time,

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Taichu Palace bell rang again.

Unlike a few hours ago, when Chu Mo was promoted to True Disciple, it only rang three times.

This time, there were nine bell sounds resounding!

The sound was profound, spreading across tens of thousands of miles, astonishing countless Martial Artists in the vicinity.

And as the sound resonated,

Su Lian Yue’s identity was thus confirmed.

Taichu Holy Land.

Saintess, Su Lian Yue!

Chapter 30: Taihua Peak, Comprehending the True Meaning of Sword Dao!

The matter of the Taichu Holy Maiden was completely settled.

However,

what happened today caused a heated discussion within the Holy Land, and even quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Wang Dao Domain.

After all,

everything that happened here today was truly too shocking!

First, a newly promoted True Disciple was conferred, then a Prodigy displayed an anomaly, and then nine Old Ancestors appeared and immediately established her as the Taichu Holy Maiden.

When this news spread, countless Martial Artists and forces were shocked and awed.

It can be confirmed that

for a long time to come, this scene will be a topic of conversation for many Martial Artists.

However, this was no longer Chu Mo’s concern.

On the second day of his True Disciple conferment,

he began to choose his own Immortal Cave.

This mountain peak appeared relatively remote, and its geographical location was not considered ideal.

However, the peak itself was extremely high, with no other peaks surrounding it. Looking out, there was a sea of clouds and mist, with only this single peak towering between heaven and earth, giving it the feeling of ‘a solitary peak unmatched by others, soaring straight into the clear sky with endless momentum.’

This alone made Chu Mo quite satisfied.

He had always preferred tranquility, and this peak, being far from other peaks, was perfectly to his liking.

At this moment, he heard the attendant Disciple beside him introduce, “True Disciple Chu, this peak is named Taihua. Although it seems remote, it is actually located directly east of the Holy Land’s core. The peak contains a Scarlet Sun Spiritual Vein, which can gather the light of the great sun.”

“Every time the sun rises in the east, Taihua Peak directly receives sunlight. At that time, one can witness thousands of great sun divine lights descending upon the peak, enveloping the entire peak, illuminating the sea of clouds, and being extremely resplendent.”

“And when it reaches noon, it can be called a true wonder!”

The attendant Disciple enthusiastically introduced, “At that time, the brilliant halo of the great sun will descend step by step along the mountain, like a rainbow and morning glow covering it, dazzling and beautiful beyond compare!”

Chu Mo had already intended to settle on it, and now hearing these words, he couldn’t help but smile, “If it is truly so, then I must witness it… Very well, I will choose this Taihua Peak!”

“It will definitely not disappoint True Disciple Chu!”

The attendant Disciple said with a smiling face.

The Immortal Cave was successfully chosen.

However, Chu Mo could not directly move in yet.

Because the Disciples of the Hall of Heavenly Craftsmanship needed to build a palace for him, transport Spiritual Veins, construct spirit-gathering and Protector formations, and also select servants—after all, an entire mountain peak also required some daily cleaning staff.

According to the attendant from the Hall of Heavenly Craftsmanship, all of this would be completed in just three days.

The time was not long, so Chu Mo naturally did not mind.

It was a good Opportunity for him to first obtain the Opportunity he had seen on Zhang Fan.

…

That night, the moon hung high in the sky.

On an inner sect peak, on a cliff.

“According to the information I saw, the first Opportunity should be right here!”

Chu Mo arrived here, looking at the surrounding environment, and thought to himself.

Then,

he immediately began to perform the Pure Yang Sword Art.

Clang!

As the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath suddenly rang out,

a dazzling cold light swiftly emerged, streaking across the sky.

In an instant, an invisible Sword Intent permeated the air, causing the surrounding temperature to turn cold and still. A bone-chilling coldness spread, revealing full Killing Intent.

At this moment,

if anyone were here, they would surely feel a chill in their hearts and their scalps tingle.

Fortunately, this place was desolate, and no one lived nearby, so no one witnessed this terrifying scene.

Chu Mo continued to practice his sword moves, with continuous sword hums echoing, and streaks of sharp Sword Qi also permeated the air, carving hair-thin sword marks into the soil and trees within a radius of dozens of feet.

After an unknown period of time,

Pfft!

Suddenly, a faint whistling sound of breaking air abruptly rang out, and then a cold light several feet long suddenly appeared out of thin air from underground, instantly crossing dozens of feet and shooting towards Chu Mo.

This cold light came so quickly and so abruptly that an ordinary person would certainly be caught off guard, unable to avoid or resist it.

But Chu Mo seemed to have anticipated it.

With a flicker of his body, he dodged the terrifying cold light.

Only then did he see that

this cold light was actually a brilliant wisp of Sword Intent, containing an extreme sharpness.

Whoosh!

The Sword Intent, having missed its target, surprisingly turned and swiftly rushed towards Chu Mo again.
