73: Section 73

However.

Before he could seize his first Opportunity.

He suddenly discovered the variable that was Chu Mo, which made him feel a bit uneasy.

He was certain.

In his previous life, when he was a Utility Disciple in Taichu Holy Land, he had never heard of any True Disciple named Chu.

But if that were truly the case, it would be even more inexplicable!

“Could this True Disciple Chu have also undergone Rebirth, just like me?”

He thought to himself.

But then he shook his head, rejecting the idea.

How incredible was Rebirth? His ability to live another life was already a miracle.

How could there be two reborn individuals in this world?

“Perhaps it’s because my status in Taichu Holy Land in my previous life was too low, so I wasn’t aware of this True Disciple named Chu!”

Finally, he could only console himself this way.

Afterward.

He prepared to plan for and contend for the nearest Opportunity in his memory.

Chu Mo was still unaware of Lin Hao’s matter.

At this moment, he had already arrived at his destination—

The Spirit Essence Treasury!

This place was located halfway up Zixiao Peak, appearing outwardly as an ordinary palace, but in reality, this palace was the entrance to a grotto-heaven world.

All the Spirit Essences treasured within the treasury were located inside the grotto-heaven.

Upon arriving at the palace entrance.

He saw an Elder lying in a rocking chair, basking in the sun.

He looked very ordinary, but Chu Mo dared not show the slightest disrespect—

【Name】: Chen Suichu

【Realm】: True Yang Realm Ninth Level

【Fate】: Divine Spear Incarnate (Gold)

【Destiny】: Primal Yang Undying Body (Gold), Honed Edge (Purple)

【Life Script】: None

【Affection】: 20

From the basic information alone, this Elder was clearly a Peak True Yang Realm expert, just one step away from entering the Saint Realm.

In addition to that.

He also possessed one golden Fate, one golden Destiny, and one purple Destiny.

【Divine Spear Incarnate】: Possesses an innate perception for spear techniques, allowing for easier achievement and reaching the pinnacle of the Spear Dao more readily. When using a long spear in combat, it can significantly enhance offensive power.

【Primal Yang Undying Body】: Possesses ultimate explosive power and ultimate Physical Body strength, with long-lasting Qi during combat.

【Honed Edge】: A sharp sword comes from honing, and plum blossoms smell sweet from bitter cold. Honing allows one to grow; what doesn't kill him will make him stronger. Each time he endures a tribulation without dying, he will become even stronger, with his power advancing a level.

The power that these three Fates and Destinies could unleash when combined in one person was almost unimaginable!

According to Chu Mo's estimation.

This Chen Suichu, in his era, should have also been an exceptionally brilliant contemporary Prodigy. Not to say he dominated an entire era, but he was definitely among the few standing at the very Peak.

Thoughts churned in his mind, but Chu Mo's expression remained unchanged.

He walked up to the Elder and respectfully bowed: “Disciple Chu Mo greets Elder.”

“Chu Mo?”

The Elder opened his eyes, his cloudy gaze scrutinizing Chu Mo for a moment, then asked: “Are you the newly promoted True Disciple Chu Mo who has caused a stir several times recently?”

“It is this Junior.”

Chu Mo said solemnly.

“Not bad.”

“This old man has also heard of you, that your Aptitude is extraordinary. Seeing you today, it truly lives up to your reputation.”

Chen Suichu nodded and continued: “Observing your Realm, you have already reached Soul Palace Perfection. It seems you wish to obtain a Spirit Essence to advance to the Divine Union Realm… Which type of Spirit Essence do you desire?”

Ordinary Disciples, if they wished to obtain Spirit Essences, could only exchange them for corresponding value based on their contributions—of course, the difficulty of obtaining them was much lower than outside.

But True Disciples did not need to.

They could simply state their request and withdraw it at will.

While there were some limits, generally, restrictions were not imposed.

Chu Mo had originally intended to choose for himself.

But hearing the Elder’s words at this moment, his expression suddenly shifted, and he said: “There are many Spirit Essences in the treasury, and this Junior cannot choose them all in a short time. I wonder if Elder has any recommendations?”

Chen Suichu had guarded the Spirit Essence Treasury for countless years, so he naturally knew about any powerful and mysterious Spirit Essences within the treasury.

“You sly brat, you’re even trying to get recommendations from this old man.”

Chen Suichu chuckled upon hearing this, scolding him playfully.

But then.

He fell into contemplation, seemingly pondering something.

A moment later.

He spoke: “Although your Congenital Pure Yang Body is somewhat special, it ultimately belongs to the Pure Yang category. If that’s the case, there is indeed something in the Spirit Essence Treasury that is quite suitable for you!”

As he spoke.

He raised his palm and suddenly grabbed into the Void Realm in front of him.

The next moment.

An object appeared in his palm.

This object was somewhat peculiar; it looked somewhat like a crow on the outside, but it had three legs, its entire body covered in black feathers, with only its eyes a fiery red. Around it, wisps of scorching golden flames burned, subtly distorting the Void Realm.

Furthermore.

A dense aura of majesty permeated its surroundings, exuding extreme arrogance, as if it were the king of heaven and earth.

“This is…”

“A Three-legged Golden Crow?!”

Seeing this living Spirit Essence, even Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed.

The Three-legged Golden Crow.

Also known as the Great Sun Golden Crow!

It was the Dominator of the Great Sun stars, the Demon Emperor who commanded all things in heaven and earth!

Chu Mo had never expected.

That the Spirit Essence Treasury of Taichu Holy Land would actually contain the Spirit Essence of a Great Sun Golden Crow!

“You actually know of this item as well?”

Chen Suichu seemed a bit surprised that Chu Mo could instantly name the Spirit Essence.

But then.

He waved his hand and placed the Spirit Essence before Chu Mo: “Since you know the origin of this item, there’s no need for this old man to say more. Take it back and perform the Fusion!”

“Thank you, Elder!”

Chu Mo bowed respectfully, then walked down the mountain.

And behind him.

Chen Suichu’s muffled grumbling could faintly be heard: “This kid really got a bargain.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo couldn't help but smile.

He had indeed struck it rich!

The Great Sun Golden Crow.

It was the most top-tier Spirit Essence in the world, and it was extremely compatible with his Mixed Origin Pure Yang Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

If the Fusion succeeded.

It would be enough to elevate his Aptitude and foundation to another level, making him a Prodigy rarely seen throughout the ages.

Returning to Taihua Peak.
