Chapter 337 The Sage of Yaochi Descends? Could He Be Targeting Lin Mo?

"Have we finally arrived?"

As the Fierce Sword King's slightly excited voice transmission reached his ears,

inside the guest room, Lin Mo, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his aura was clearly different from when he had first boarded the flying boat two days ago.

It was deeper and even more... terrifying!

Seventh Level Nascent Soul!

This was his current cultivation level!

Of course, this rocket-like speed of advancement wasn't entirely the result of his hard cultivation over these two days.

Long before setting off, he had already pushed his cultivation to the threshold of the Peak Sixth Level Nascent Soul, thanks to the substantial feedback trickling in from Great Xia.

His quiet cultivation on the flying boat these past two days was merely going with the flow, completely piercing through that final barrier,

and taking another step forward by relying on the Taiyin Sacred Body's efficient absorption of Spiritual Qi.

"Phew..."

"The feeling of one's strength growing every moment is truly intoxicating."

"However..."

"Since we've reached our destination, I should go out and take a look."

Lin Mo ended his cultivation state, retracted his terrifying aura, then stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

As soon as he reached the corridor, he bumped into Lei Jingxiao, who was just about to call for him.

"Oh, Brother Lin, you're out?"

Lei Jingxiao gave a warm greeting, but the next second, his smile froze on his face.

"Wait... wait..."

"You...!"

"How has it only been two days, yet your aura has surged by such a large margin?!"

He stared intently at Lin Mo as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes nearly bulging out of his head.

Although Lin Mo had deliberately restrained himself, he could still clearly sense that

the current Lin Mo was more than just a little bit stronger than he was two days ago!

This increase in strength wasn't a slight improvement, but rather... a visible explosion!

"Is this the Taiyin Sacred Body?"

"Isn't this too monstrous?!"

Lei Jingxiao couldn't help but swallow hard.

He had spent the last two days focusing on healing, and his cultivation hadn't progressed an inch,

yet this guy managed to break through his Realm just while traveling?

Is this the gap between people?

"Hehe..."

Seeing Lei Jingxiao's demoralized look, Lin Mo smiled faintly and waved his hand dismissively.

"It's just luck, I merely broke through a minor Realm."

"It's nothing big."

"But Brother Lei... you look quite ruddy and in high spirits?"

Lin Mo sized up Lei Jingxiao for a few moments.

Compared to the deathly face from two days ago that looked like it could expire at any moment,

although Lei Jingxiao's aura was still a bit unstable, at least his spirit had mostly recovered.

"It's alright."

Mentioning his injuries, Lei Jingxiao shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Relying on Medicinal Pills to stay alive, the injuries have stabilized."

"But to fully recover and return to my Peak combat strength, I'm afraid I'll have to go into secluded meditation for a long time after returning to the Holy Land."

Lin Mo nodded, then looked around and asked with some confusion:

"By the way, where is Senior Yang?"

"Why don't I see him?"

Logically, once they arrived, he should have appeared immediately.

Why was he nowhere to be seen?

"Ah, he's up ahead!"

Lei Jingxiao gestured with his chin toward the bow of the flying boat.

"Oh?"

"What are they all doing there?"

"Come, Brother Lei, let's go take a look."

Lin Mo grew interested and invited Lei Jingxiao to walk toward the bow together.

As they drew closer, he realized that not only was the Fierce Sword King there, but even the Formation Grand Master was present.

Even... Mu Yurou was currently leaning against the railing in high spirits, pointing and gesturing below along with the two big shots.

"Miss Mu..."

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

At this moment, the Fierce Sword King was frowning deeply, his eyes fixed on a certain spot below, his tone carrying a hint of unavoidable surprise and gravity.

"I definitely didn't see wrong!"

"Is my Heavenly Derivation Dao Pupil just for show?"

Hearing the Fierce Sword King's doubt, Mu Yurou immediately became unhappy. She patted her chest confidently and guaranteed:

"Although that aura is subtle, I would never mistake that unique Dao charm!"

"Hiss..."

Seeing Mu Yurou so certain, the Fierce Sword King's expression became even gloomier. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but follow up:

"Then Miss Mu, in your opinion... which power do they belong to?"

A faint golden light flashed in Mu Yurou's eyes. She looked carefully in that direction again before giving a firm conclusion:

"Well..."

"Observing that cold and noble aura, with the faint sound of celestial music..."

"They should be... people from the Yaochi Holy Land?"

At this point, she paused, her tone also carrying a hint of surprise:

"And, if I'm not mistaken, given that posture of being surrounded like stars around the moon... I'm afraid even that Saintess of Yaochi has come along?"

"Yaochi Holy Land?!"

Hearing this, the Fierce Sword King became even more puzzled.

"Then that's strange..."

"The people of Yaochi rarely leave their fairyland."

"Why would they travel thousands of miles to come to my Shengyang Prefecture's territory at this time?"

"And even the Saintess has been deployed..."

Just then, Lin Mo and Lei Jingxiao also walked over.

"Elder Yang, what happened?"

"What about Yaochi?"

Lei Jingxiao asked with a bewildered look, clearly not understanding the riddles these people were speaking in.

Lin Mo also looked at them curiously.

"Oh, Virtuous Nephew Lin and Little Friend Lei are here."

Seeing the two of them, the Formation Grand Master turned around and took over the conversation with a smile, explaining to them:

"It's like this."

"While Miss Mu was looking at the scenery just now, she suddenly discovered a very powerful aura lying in wait below."

"And according to her judgment, there's a high probability that person is a Saint from the Yaochi Holy Land!"

"A Saint from Yaochi?!"

Hearing this, Lei Jingxiao was startled.

"What are the people of Yaochi doing here?"

"Could they be... here for Brother Lin?"

He instinctively looked at Lin Mo beside him, his imagination running wild.

In the Cangxuan Great Realm, Saint-level existences from major powers generally don't wander around aimlessly,

nor do they easily step into territory governed by other Holy Lands, as it can easily lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.

And the Yaochi Holy Land, as a transcendent existence that only accepts female Disciples, is usually incredibly mysterious and cold.

But for no apparent reason, why did a female Saint from Yaochi suddenly arrive, even bringing the Saintess to the Taihua Domain?

This is too unusual!

"I'm also a bit worried about that."

The Fierce Sword King looked at Lin Mo, a deep look of concern appearing on his face.

"In history, there were indeed two Supreme Yin Sacred Bodies who eventually joined the Yaochi Holy Land."

"But the problem is... those two Supreme Yin Sacred Bodies were both women, so going to Yaochi was reasonable."

"But Little Friend Lin is a man..."

"Logically, the Yaochi Holy Land has strict rules and never accepts male Disciples, so they shouldn't have any designs on Little Friend Lin."

The Fierce Sword King was somewhat uncertain.

"Elder Yang, you can't put it that way."

Hearing this, the Formation Grand Master thoughtfully reminded from the side:

"Rules are dead, but people are alive."

"With Virtuous Nephew Lin's Heaven-Defying Physique, which is rare throughout the ages, so what if he's a man?"

"For such a talent, the Yaochi Holy Land might not necessarily refrain from making an exception and forcing him to join."

"After all, it's well known how perfectly the Taiyin Sacred Body fits with Yaochi's Cultivation Techniques!"

"Elder Yang, we still need to be very much on guard!"

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Gu is right."

After hearing this, the Fierce Sword King's expression became even more serious.

Although the Yaochi Holy Land has always acted uprightly and has a good reputation, they probably wouldn't openly snatch someone on Shengyang Prefecture's territory.

But it's better to be safe than sorry!

If he were really intercepted by those women from Yaochi, he would have nowhere to go to cry!

"Perhaps we are overthinking, or maybe they are just passing through."

The Fierce Sword King shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer. He made a prompt decision and turned to address everyone:

"Alright, regardless of why they've come, it has nothing to do with us."

"We'll head straight to the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array."

"Once we return to the Yanyang Holy Land, even if the Holy Lord of Yaochi comes in person, she won't be able to take him away!"

"We can't linger here for too long, to avoid any unexpected complications!"
