63: Section 63
Even after he stepped into the Soul Palace Realm, lying on it to cultivate would be more than enough!
"It's time to go to the next place!"
Patting his Storage Pouch, Chu Mo left this place and flew towards the next Opportunity.
For the next period of time,
Chu Mo continued to search for Opportunities throughout this Secret Realm.
As the time spent in the Secret Realm grew longer, the number of Opportunities he seized also increased.
And on the 21st day of entering the Secret Realm, Chu Mo successfully seized 100 Opportunities, earning an Intermediate Destiny lottery chance.
His luck wasn't very good.
He only got a blue Destiny.
【Mastery of Alchemy and Artifact Refining】: Possesses an understanding and Aptitude in the Dao of Alchemy and Artifact Refining that surpasses ordinary people, making it easier to achieve success.
This Destiny was somewhat superfluous to Chu Mo.
Better than nothing!
He was a little disappointed, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"According to the description of the Opportunity, it should be here!"
"There are only three days left until the Secret Realm closes. Once I get this Opportunity, it's time to go back and meet up with Ling Baishuang!"
In a vast valley,
Chu Mo stood in mid-air, thinking to himself.
This Opportunity
was a Sword Embryo!
According to the recent turn of events described by that Martial Artist, this Sword Embryo was extremely extraordinary. It was formed at the convergence of earth veins, tempered by heaven and earth, and its quality was extremely high. It already possessed spirituality even before it had fully taken shape.
This greatly moved Chu Mo.
He descended.
Chu Mo began to carefully search for the entrance.
His aura spread out, and the surrounding Yao Beasts, snakes, insects, rats, and ants all fled as if avoiding a scorpion.
With his Realm and strength, coupled with the terrifying and powerful aura he constantly emitted due to the circulation of Dao Rhyme after achieving the Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo,
these Yao Beasts, though not highly intelligent,
could discern that the aura emanating from Chu Mo was not something they could provoke.
Therefore, driven by the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, they all fled far away.
This also saved Chu Mo a lot of trouble, as he didn't have to worry about Yao Beast harassment.
After a careful search,
he soon arrived in front of a hidden stone wall and found a cave entrance.
This entrance was very concealed, covered by many mosses and vines that spread across the entire stone wall.
If one didn't observe carefully, it would be almost impossible to discover.
"It should be here!"
With a thought, Chu Mo walked straight inside.
But before he could step in, he suddenly heard a loud cry from the sky behind him.
The next moment,
a strong gust of wind howled, accompanied by a foul stench, assailing his face.
Chu Mo turned around and saw a Great Peng bird with glossy black feathers all over its body, save for its dazzling golden wings, dive down with flapping wings.
Its eyes were sharp, its beak razor-sharp, glinting with a cold, eerie light under the sunlight.
Its speed was incredibly fast.
As its wings flapped, it seemed to cleave even space, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and when its talons extended, even space subtly warped.
Chu Mo had no doubt that
if he were to be caught, his body would likely be torn to shreds instantly.
And with such power,
even a Soul Palace Realm Martial Artist would not dare to meet its edge, only able to dodge in panic.
"What a Yao Beast!"
"I never thought there would be such a majestic Great Peng bird in this Secret Realm!"
"Could it be that it has returned to its origin, Awakening the Bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great Peng?"
Thinking this,
seeing the Great Peng bird's talons about to grasp his head, Chu Mo did not dodge or evade. Instead, he took a step forward, then slashed out with his sword.
"Clang!"
As the sound of the sword being drawn from its sheath suddenly rang out, a cold glint cut through the Void Realm, carrying a sharp edge, and directly struck towards the Great Peng bird's head.
The Great Peng bird extended its talons, which were wreathed in golden light, and directly grabbed at the Sword Qi.
Clang!
With a sudden clang of metal, Chu Mo's Sword Qi was actually snapped, yet the Great Peng bird's talons showed no damage whatsoever.
Seeing this, Chu Mo was somewhat moved.
Although his previous sword strike was not at full power, let alone ordinary Tongxuan Realm Yao Beasts, even those comparable to the Soul Palace Realm would generally be unable to withstand it.
But this Great Peng bird not only snapped his Sword Qi but also suffered no damage.
This was quite extraordinary.
Just then,
"Caw!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng raised its head and cried out, its golden wings shimmering, and flapped towards Chu Mo.
Mid-flight, its dazzling feathers, like countless sharp swords, sliced through the Void Realm, leaving behind trails, as if even the Void Realm itself was pierced.
Such power was utterly terrifying.
Yet, Chu Mo was not surprised but rather delighted.
"It has even awakened a Talent Divine Ability!"
Chu Mo had thought this was merely a Great Peng bird that had returned to its origin by chance, but who knew it had even awakened its innate Divine Ability.
It was just that here, one could only cultivate to the Peak of the Tongxuan Realm at most.
If this Great Peng bird were in the outside world,
given time, it would surely become a generation's Yao King!
Thinking of this,
Chu Mo had the idea of subduing it.
However,
the Yao Race is arrogant, and if one does not subdue them, it would be difficult to make them acknowledge a master.
Moreover, this Golden-Winged Great Peng bird had also awakened its Bloodline and innate Divine Ability, making it even more arrogant.
"In that case..."
"I'll beat you into submission!"
As his thoughts churned, Chu Mo made his decision.
Just then, the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird swooped down again, its wings vibrating, stirring up a hurricane around it, causing countless plants and trees to bend low.
Numerous fragmented wind blades whistled, striking the rocks and leaving clear marks.
"Caw!"
The Great Peng bird's eyes were sharp, filled with ferocity, and its entire body transformed into a streak of light, charging straight ahead.
"Good timing!"
Chu Mo roared, his entire body's Qi and Blood surging like a volcanic eruption.
In an instant,
an unyielding and immense power erupted, converging through his Dantian, Meridians, blood vessels, and even countless pores throughout his body, finally pouring into his spine, driving his entire being, like a volcanic eruption or crashing waves, rushing towards his right hand—
And then!
"Slash!"
As the sound fell, words became law.
