71: Section 71

The Elder who had brought Chu Mo here stopped and said.

Chu Mo nodded slightly.

Then.

He looked at the grand and ancient hall, took a deep breath, and then stepped inside.

The moment he entered.

Chu Mo sensed gazes gathering on him.

Looking up.

He saw the Tai Chu Sect Leader, dressed in white as pure as snow, seated on the main dais.

To his left and right were more than ten Elders, each with profound auras, as vast and surging as mountains and seas.

"Disciple Chu Mo greets the Tai Chu Sect Leader and all the Elders."

Meeting everyone's gaze, Chu Mo's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, as he spoke.

As he spoke.

The surrounding Elders all scrutinized Chu Mo.

They saw him standing tall, his figure upright and imposing, exuding an extraordinary aura. Especially, he carried a faint Daorhyme around him, his eyes were bright and brilliant, and his demeanor was as free as an immortal, making people feel an immediate sense of goodwill upon seeing him.

Some Elders nodded secretly.

The Tai Chu Sect Leader also fixed his gaze upon him.

Chaos light surged around him, and his eyes were deep and ancient. As he looked at Chu Mo, his gaze contained a power that could see through people's Heart-Nature, as if he could completely see through Chu Mo from head to toe.

"His body is imprinted with Law, his Yang Qi is rich, and there's even Daorhyme deeply hidden within. He is truly a peerless Physique!"

"To have a Disciple like you in the Holy Land fills me with great joy."

After a moment, he spoke, praising him.

"The Tai Chu Sect Leader overpraises me."

Chu Mo said, unperturbed by either favor or disgrace.

Seeing this.

The Tai Chu Sect Leader and the many surrounding Elders' appreciation grew even stronger.

To be praised by a Saint Lord Realm Tai Chu Sect Leader and show no fluctuation in his expression—even some Transcendence Realm Elders would find it hard to remain calm, yet Chu Mo could be so composed.

Such a Heart-Nature was indeed quite remarkable.

Just from this first meeting with Chu Mo.

These Elders present already had a general understanding of Chu Mo's talent and Heart-Nature.

And at this moment.

The Tai Chu Sect Leader spoke: "Chu Mo, the reason I summoned you here, firstly, is because I heard you forged a peerless Divine Body and wished to meet you. Secondly, it is for the matter of the Saint!"

At this point.

His gaze sharpened, and his expression became solemn.

"Are you willing to contend for the position of Taichu Saint?"

Chapter 58: Willing to reach the peak, fuse with the Great Sun Golden Crow, and advance to the Divine Union Realm!

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone's gaze converged on Chu Mo.

Taichu Saint!

His status was immensely lofty.

Apart from the Taichu Tai Chu Sect Leader and the Grand Elder, the Saint held the greatest authority.

He could not only mobilize the Holy Land's countless resources and all Disciples except for the reclusive Elders, but also possessed the right to launch external campaigns.

In other words.

Once he became a Saint.

Aside from not yet having the title of Tai Chu Sect Leader, he would already be the contemporary spokesperson for the Holy Land.

The will of the Saint represented the will of the Holy Land.

The profound significance contained within this was self-evident.

And now.

The Tai Chu Sect Leader, in front of numerous Elders, personally asked if he was willing to contend for the Taichu Saint position. This also meant that Chu Mo's talent had already been recognized by the Tai Chu Sect Leader.

He possessed the qualification to advance to Saint!

However... while the Saint held immense power and glory, he also bore corresponding responsibilities and duties.

Taichu Holy Land.

It was the foremost Dao orthodoxy in the Eastern Wang Dao Domain. If Chu Mo were to succeed as the Taichu Saint, or even from the very beginning of contending for the Taichu Saint position, he would be under the scrutiny of all, undergoing countless trials.

The pressure and the scrutinizing gazes involved.

If he wasn't a true Prodigy, he would almost be unable to bear it!

And Chu Mo.

Would he have such determination?

Everyone thought this, silently anticipating his answer.

"Disciple is willing!"

Meeting all gazes, Chu Mo did not hesitate in the slightest and spoke.

From the moment he changed his destiny.

His goal was the position of Taichu Saint. Now that such an opportunity presented itself, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

As for whether he could bear the external pressure, he wasn't worried at all!

"Since I, Chu Mo, have come to this world and have such an encounter, I shall naturally ascend to the peak, dominate through the ages, and suppress all enemies in the world!"

Thinking of this.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Very good!"

Hearing Chu Mo's words and seeing the sharp glint in his eyes, the Tai Chu Sect Leader couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Since that is the case, then you shall be listed in the Quasi-Saint Child sequence. However... given your relatively low Realm, being listed as a Quasi-Saint Child now would easily make you a target. Therefore, we shall wait until you advance to the Yang God Realm before announcing it!"

"By then, with your strength, you will have the ability to deal with various challenges. At that time, we will then showcase your Prodigy demeanor, how about it?"

The Tai Chu Sect Leader said in a clear voice.

"Since it is the Tai Chu Sect Leader's word, Disciple will naturally obey."

Chu Mo bowed and saluted: "Many thanks, Tai Chu Sect Leader!"

"No need for formalities!"

The Tai Chu Sect Leader said with a smile.

Then.

He seemed to recall something and added: "I remember that the Eastern Wang Dao Domain's various sects' True Disciple Sword Tournament will be held soon. This grand event occurs once every hundred years, with each sect selecting newly risen True Disciple Prodigies from the past century. This time, our Taichu Holy Land's True Disciple Sword Tournament will be attended by you!"

"And during this period, you should diligently cultivate, striving to uphold the prestige of the Taichu Holy Land in the True Disciple Sword Tournament and display your peerless Prodigy demeanor!"

"Disciple understands."

Chu Mo nodded, agreeing to the matter.

Then.

After chatting for a while, the Tai Chu Sect Leader prepared to leave.

But just then, Chu Mo suddenly remembered something and spoke: "Tai Chu Sect Leader, Disciple has a request, and hopes the Tai Chu Sect Leader will grant it!"

"What is it?"

The Tai Chu Sect Leader asked.

"Disciple once obtained a sword embryo in a Secret Realm and intends to refine it into a handy divine weapon. However, Disciple currently lacks the means to do so, hence I wish to ask the Tai Chu Sect Leader for assistance!"

As Chu Mo spoke, he took out the sword embryo.

"Oh?"

Seeing the sword embryo, the Tai Chu Sect Leader's eyes narrowed.

He reached out, and the sword embryo was already in his hand. After examining it for a while, he smiled and said: "This item is indeed quite remarkable. If properly refined, it might achieve something... Very well, I will help you refine it. It can be handed back to you in half a month!"
