235: Sending opportunities to one's father-in-law
The only thing that remained relatively intact after Ji Mo's terrifying strike was the divine corpse.
The divine corpse suffered no damage at all, which showed how powerful a Divine Being was.
Even after a million years of death, the corpse could not be destroyed by an ordinary Imperial Rank Cultivator.
Ji Mo didn't care; the heaven and earth creation bell absorbed everything into its inner space.
All of this was completed in a flash, so quickly that many people hadn't even reacted.
The arrogant and overbearing Lu Family members were just gone.
Ji Mo and his group were about to leave when suddenly, the Master's voice entered his mind.
"Little friend, why don't you come over for a chat?"
"It's commendable that little friend obtained the divine corpse today, but those great Families, while they dare not offend the Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor, may not necessarily fear you."
"At least here, I can guarantee little friend's safety, and there's another great Opportunity I wish to bestow upon little friend. Of course, I won't force you; whether to stay or leave is entirely up to you."
It was the Master's voice transmission, which caused his departing figure to halt briefly.
Elder Mu looked at Ji Mo with a puzzled expression.
Ji Mo was also undecided about these matters, so he sent a voice transmission to Elder Mu,
"Elder Mu, the Master wants us to stay here, saying he has an Opportunity to give me and will help us ward off other forces competing for the divine corpse."
"I'm undecided. What do you think I should do?"
Elder Mu didn't answer directly. After some thought, he sent a voice transmission.
"This Master is a hidden super expert in the Twelve Domains of the Endless Sea Region. He has lived in seclusion in a mysterious place for many years.
Even I, when I first descended upon this Plane, faintly felt a sense of danger there.
Logically, such people generally don't emerge easily. His appearance this time must have a special purpose, perhaps even for you.
There's no avoiding it. Since the other party is so polite, you might as well hear what he has to say."
After a brief exchange with Elder Mu, Ji Mo suddenly saw things clearly.
He immediately returned to the island and declared loudly:
"Since the Master has invited me, how dare Ji Mo refuse?"
"Hahaha..." The Master let out a hearty laugh. This young man had quite a few tricks up his sleeve. He was clearly telling everyone that he was now the Master's honored guest.
"Indeed, the Realm Lord thinks highly of you, which is also why I invited you."
The Master seized the Opportunity to spread this news, saving him the trouble of dealing with people coming to his door one by one.
With the Realm Lord's involvement, those at the Peak would know what to do.
The group arrived at a grand hall, and a few of them took their seats.
Ji Mo didn't waste words and directly asked,
"Master, you just said the Realm Lord thinks highly of me? May I ask who the Realm Lord is? And what is the purpose of your meeting with me today?"
The Master smiled faintly,
"Little friend, your questions will be answered one by one in the future. My main reason for inviting you today is that the Realm Lord wishes to meet you.
Ever since you rose in the Endless Sea Region, the Realm Lord has noticed you. Until today, you, at the Second Heaven of the Saint Rank, easily killed an Imperial Rank Cultivator,
and were able to unleash power comparable to the Late Stage Imperial Rank. Such a feat has never occurred since the birth of this Plane.
Speaking of this, the Master was also shocked by Ji Mo's final strike.
Ji Mo, however, remained calm, not getting carried away by the praise.
This unperturbed demeanor made the Master even more satisfied.
"As for who the Realm Lord is, you'll naturally understand when you meet him. Suffice it to say, the Realm Lord is an invincible existence in this Plane.
The Realm Lord wishes to see you, so naturally, a great Opportunity awaits you.
You needn't be apprehensive. With the Realm Lord's power, annihilating you would be a mere flick of a finger; there's no need for him to play any schemes or tricks with you."
Ji Mo grumbled inwardly, 'Annihilate me? If you really dare to bully the weak, it's you who should be reduced to ashes.'
"Alright, if the Master can make an oath that this matter will not cause me any harm, I can go with you to meet the Realm Lord."
Ji Mo was also very curious about what kind of person could command such reverence from this Peak Imperial Rank Cultivator of the Nine Heavens.
"Hahaha... I swear to the heavens, if this invitation harbors any ill will towards little friend Ji Mo, may my Lightning Tribulation increase a hundredfold and may I be reduced to ashes."
The Master readily made the oath.
This put Ji Mo's mind at ease. No Cultivator would joke about the Lightning Tribulation, which at least indicated that the other party genuinely harbored no ill will.
"Alright, Master, I can go with you, but I need to finish handling some matters first."
Seeing Ji Mo finally relent and agree, a smile appeared on the Master's aged face.
After a discussion, Ji Mo and his group returned to their small courtyard.
It was time to give his gifts to his father-in-Law and Yanran.
He looked at Shangguan Batian, who was still in shock, and almost laughed.
It wasn't his fault; in the past, the Saint Rank was an unreachable existence for him. Yet, in just these two days, his son-in-Law had slaughtered a group of Imperial Rank Cultivators right before his eyes.
How could he not be shocked?
"Father-in-Law, my departure from Yanran back then was not my wish. It was also my fault for making Yanran wait all these years.
Today, it's time for me to give Yanran an explanation."
He spread his palm, and ten crystal-clear drops of pure Imperial Rank Law essence blood floated above it.
"Father-in-Law, this is my betrothal gift: ten drops of pure Imperial Rank essence blood. After being purified by me, they are supreme elixirs, capable of cleansing your meridians and marrow, making a Breakthrough in Realm effortless."
"Ah!" Shangguan Batian trembled all over.
The excitement today was endless. "This... isn't this too valuable?!"
Seeing her father like this, Shangguan Yanran couldn't bear it anymore.
"Father, this is the betrothal gift your good son-in-Law prepared for you. What's so valuable about it? Is your daughter not worth these items?
Besides, he owes me this. I'm not his only woman."
At this, Shangguan Yanran gave Ji Mo a coquettish glare, then meaningfully eyed Yan Qingcheng.
"Ah! This... this... then I'll accept it."
Shangguan Batian awkwardly agreed, then turned to look at Shangguan Yanran.
"Daughter! It's perfectly normal for a great man to have three wives and four concubines! Moreover, my son-in-Law is so outstanding and destined to become a Divine Being in the future, so it's normal for him to have a few women."
Shangguan Yanran was speechless. Her father had practically sold her off! This was truly her biological father!
Ji Mo was overjoyed. This was truly a good Chinese father-in-Law. He had been wondering how to explain, but he never expected his father-in-Law to be such a good ally.
"Father-in-Law, I'll help you Break through your Realm."
With that, the heaven and earth creation bell floated out, directly enveloping the ten drops of essence blood and Shangguan Batian.
Shangguan Batian dared not delay, sitting cross-legged and silently accepting the baptism.
Under the domineering power of the heaven and earth creation bell, these essence blood drops were like obedient kittens.
They slowly fused into Shangguan Batian's body, purifying his Impurities and enhancing his root bones.
Among them, two drops were the Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor's essence blood, and some ancient Saber Intent, profound Laws, and rules were integrating into Shangguan Batian.
