Chapter 336 Lin Mo's Decision: He Still Has to Cling to This Powerful Backer! They've Arrived in the Taihua Domain!

"Tsk, no, no..."

"I absolutely cannot let him know about this!"

Looking at Gu Jian's "daughter-slave" appearance, sighing every time he mentioned his daughter,

Lin Mo remained calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding wildly.

What kind of joke was this?

If this Ninth Rank Grandmaster of Formations really found out,

that the precious daughter he was so worried about being spirited away,

was currently being locked in another world by him, working day and night with her life and death in his hands... he would probably go berserk on the spot!

At that time, forget about being called "Worthy Nephew,"

he would likely pull out his ultimate killing Formation and blast this unforgivable "human trafficker" into dust!

"This bomb cannot go off!"

"At least not now!"

Lin Mo's mind spun rapidly, and he quickly made up his mind.

"I still have to keep things steady!"

"When the time is right in the future, I'll find an opportunity for Gu Zhiyun to return, fabricate a reasonable story of how we met, and then slowly break the news."

Having made up his mind, Lin Mo took a deep breath, a flawless and sincere smile appearing on his face.

He looked at Gu Jian and made a solemn promise:

"Uncle Gu, please rest assured!"

"I have already committed Young Miss Gu Zhiyun's name to my heart."

"In the future, while traveling outside, no matter which Great Domain I am in, if I encounter her, I will notify you immediately and ensure her safety!"

"Good, good, good!"

Hearing this, Gu Jian was so moved that his eyes grew a bit moist.

He reached out both hands, firmly gripping Lin Mo's hand with a face full of relief:

"Worthy Nephew, I didn't misjudge you!"

"You are a good lad who values friendship and loyalty!"

"With those words of yours, my heart is much more at ease!"

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. You still need to rest, so I won't disturb you further."

"Farewell!"

Gu Jian was a man who knew his boundaries. Now that his business was done, he didn't linger and immediately cupped his fists to take his leave.

"Take care, Uncle Gu."

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up to see him off.

He watched Gu Jian's figure disappear at the end of the hallway outside before completely relaxing and closing the door behind him.

“Phew...”

“I've finally sent that big shot away.”

Returning to the room, Lin Mo sat in his chair. Recalling the conversation just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a slight arc.

“Ha... I didn't expect the world to be so small.”

“This Master Gu is actually Xiao Yun's biological father.”

“From that perspective, he can be considered half one of our own, right?”

The light in Lin Mo's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Since Gu Zhiyun was already serving Great Xia, as her biological father, could Gu Jian escape in the future?

This man was a Ninth Rank Grandmaster of Formations!

In the Cangxuan Great Realm, he was a top-tier technical talent, but in Great Xia, he would be a priceless treasure!

“As long as Xiao Yun lives well over in Great Xia and makes a name for herself,”

“then later I can have her come back and whisper in his ear, do some ideological work...”

“To hoodwink... cough, I mean, invite this old father Gu Jian to Great Xia to shine and contribute shouldn't be too difficult, right?”

The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Moreover, once Gu Jian went, it would be equivalent to the gates of the entire Gu Family being flung open to Great Xia!

The Gu Family Legacy has lasted for ten thousand years; there certainly wasn't just one Formation Master like Gu Jian in the clan, and there must be many other Formation talents.

When the time comes, if I pack up and take all the Formation Masters of the Gu Family... wouldn't Great Xia's Formation System undergo an immediate Ascension?

“As for whether sending so many people over at once would be too chaotic and lead to problems...”

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head and laughed in spite of himself.

“Why am I worrying about this?”

“I have the System's contracts in hand!”

“The life and death of everyone sent over through the Hongmeng Dao Favor function are within a single thought of mine.”

“Unless they are tired of living and want to commit suicide, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble on Great Xia's territory even if they were given ten times the courage!”

After figuring this out, Lin Mo's mood suddenly became extremely pleasant.

This Gu Family was clearly a talent resource pool delivered right to his doorstep!

“Well, the younger one has already been coaxed away.”

“Although this old one won't work out for a while, it's just a matter of time.”

“No rush, take it slow. Haste makes waste.”

Lin Mo hummed a little tune, in high spirits.

But he soon suppressed his smile, his expression becoming serious again.

“However...”

“Master Gu's previous words are still somewhat concerning.”

Lin Mo began to review Gu Jian's earlier warning in his mind.

He was already mentally prepared for the fact that the Holy Land was rife with factions and intense competition.

After all, where there are people, there is Jianghu, let alone in a top-tier power that gathered countless Prodigies and monsters?

But... from what Gu Jian said, the intensity seemed a bit excessive?

Even those Grand Elders who lived in seclusion were personally participating in the game?

“If even old monsters of that level are secretly laying out their pieces...”

“Then I'm afraid there are other secrets behind this struggle for the Saint position!”

Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

Although he was very confident in his current strength,

if he were to face those Saint Realm old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years... he would still be a small fry!

Right now, he was far from qualified to challenge those who were playing the chess game.

“If that's the case...”

“Then the strategy suggested by my Younger Sister and Old Sword... to live off... cough cough!”

“The strategy of clinging to a thick thigh seems very necessary!”

Lin Mo gave a dry cough, forcibly correcting the rather ungraceful term that popped into his head.

“This isn't living off a woman.”

“This is assessing the situation and using external strength to one's advantage!”

“Otherwise, no matter how strong I am, I can't beat those Saint Realm old monsters for the time being!”

He quickly made a decision in his heart.

In order to ensure that he could develop steadily after entering the Holy Land, not be casually crushed by those old guys, and also make it convenient for him to "stock up."

He must do his best to cling to the thick thigh that was Huang Feiyan!

“Anyway, Old Sword also said that Burning Heaven Holy Venerable is extremely protective.”

“As long as I can gain her approval, even if I poke a hole in the sky, she can help hold it up.”

“Such a good backer, it would be a waste not to take it!”

The corner of Lin Mo's mouth tilted up slightly.

“Once I've completely developed by riding this tailwind and have enough strength,”

“then at that time...”

“I'll do whatever I want!”

“I won't have to look at anyone's face!”

This was Lin Mo's plan.

Lie low first, cling to a thick thigh, and use all resources to become stronger.

The day he achieves Major Achievement in his divine technique will be the time he shows his hand!

At that time, any Grand Elder or Holy Land rule will all have to make way for him!

His words... would be the rules!

...After clarifying his next course of action, Lin Mo dismissed his thoughts.

He sat cross-legged on the bed again, closed his eyes, and entered a state of Cultivation.

After all, he was still on the flying boat and had not yet reached his destination.

Whatever the specific situation at the Holy Land was, thinking too much now was just empty talk; it was better to seize the time to increase his strength a bit.

Buzz!

As the Cultivation Technique operated, the free-floating Spiritual Qi in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be summoned by some supreme command,

starting to scramble and surge toward Lin Mo like young swallows returning to their nest.

“Phew...”

“As expected of the Taiyin Sacred Body.”

“This cultivation speed is indeed extraordinary.”

Feeling the visible growth rate of the spiritual power in his body, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

Right now, he was no longer that Trash with poor talent who could only wait bitterly for the System to share feedback.

As the possessor of the Taiyin Sacred Body, even setting the System aside,

his own cultivation speed had already reached a genuine Prodigy level!

This feeling of being close to the Great Dao of heaven and earth, with Spiritual Qi actively throwing itself at him, was truly wonderful.

“Of course...”

Lin Mo silently added in his heart.

“If I really have to compare it with the System's shared feedback...”

“Then there's still no comparison...”

After all, no matter how awesome the Taiyin Sacred Body was, it still followed basic logic.

But in front of the System... basic logic? What was that?

The System directly modified the underlying data, unreasonably stuffing cultivation into him!

That was a true dimensional strike!

However, even a mosquito's leg is meat; the power gained from his own cultivation was, after all, an accumulation.

With this mindset, Lin Mo was soon completely immersed in cultivation, oblivious to the world outside... cultivation knows no time.

In this dull yet fulfilling cultivation, time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

On this day.

Lin Mo, who was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, suddenly heard Fierce Sword King's transmission voice, which carried a hint of excitement.

“Little friend Lin!”

“Get ready!”

“Taihua Domain has arrived!”
