330: Chapter 330 Having Both
Fu Tianming watched from the side, a tempest already raging in his heart.
Su Mo's bizarre method of transforming others into Incarnations, no matter how many times he witnessed it, filled him with a chill from the depths of his Soul and an inability to comprehend it.
This was by no means an ordinary Immortal Dao Divine Ability; it was more like something that touched upon a forbidden Domain.
Fortunately, he no longer had to worry.
As Zhao Cangqiong was completely transformed, this brief skirmish settled.
Just then, the remnant Soul of Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable shot out from between Fu Tianming's brows.
"Little friend, let's head to the place where this Venerable hid resources back then! Those things are enough to help you perfectly integrate the Chaos Qi within your body with your Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Great Dao Foundation, truly taking the crucial step towards Chaos Dao Body Minor Achievement!"
Su Mo nodded upon hearing this.
He could also feel that although he had refined the Cangxu Realm and initially controlled the Chaos Qi, there was still a ways to go before he could fully convert this power for his own use and integrate it into his life essence.
The resources he mentioned were exactly what he needed at the moment.
"Good, lead the way," Su Mo said concisely.
However, just as the Immortal Venerable's phantom was about to point the way and Su Mo was preparing to move, Fu Tianming, who was beside them, suddenly called out to Su Mo.
"Brother Mo..."
Su Mo paused slightly, turned his head, and looked at Fu Tianming: "Hm? What is it?"
He used to call him 'little friend,' but now he's calling him 'Brother Mo'?!
Fu Tianming was silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and finally spoke:
"Now that you have ascended to Golden Immortal, your strength far surpasses mine. The Dao of Chaos has limitless prospects. With my meager Dao cultivation, staying by your side, I fear I can no longer be of much help; instead, I might become a burden..."
He paused, his tone carrying a hatred suppressed for ten thousand years:
"So, I want to... leave temporarily."
Su Mo raised an eyebrow, not feeling too surprised, and instead, a knowing smile appeared on his face:
"Want to go seek revenge on that pair of scoundrels?"
Fu Tianming's body visibly trembled, and terrifying blood-red light burst forth from his scarlet eyes as he hissed:
"Indeed! Ten thousand years of the humiliation of the Seal, the hatred of betrayal, gnawing at my heart day and night! If this revenge is not exacted, I, Fu Tianming, swear not to be human! Now that my strength has recovered, it's time to reclaim this blood debt!"
He had thought Su Mo would dissuade him or propose conditions, after all, he knew many of Su Mo's secrets and had once been a capable enforcer.
Su Mo merely waved his hand casually, feigning disdain:
"Alright, go if you want. Your current strength really is a bit of a hindrance when you're with me. Do whatever you want, just don't die out there and embarrass me."
Fu Tianming was stunned, the blood-red light in his scarlet eyes freezing for a moment. He hadn't expected Su Mo to agree so readily.
"You... you're really willing to let me go?" His voice was a bit hoarse, filled with disbelief.
"Otherwise?" Su Mo rolled his eyes, "Your feet are on your own body; I haven't chained you up."
Fu Tianming was silent for a moment, then suddenly, he revealed a smile uglier than a cry.
"Then... thank you, Brother Mo."
Su Mo shrugged indifferently, as if remembering something, and casually asked:
"By the way, where in Yunxiao Heaven is your enemy?"
Hatred surged in Fu Tianming's eyes again, and he enunciated each word:
"Yunxiao Heaven, Northern Region, Inverse Immortal Alliance!"
Su Mo's eyebrow twitched slightly, and he repeated: "Inverse Immortal Alliance?"
He stroked his chin and looked at Fu Tianming:
"Is it a major power similar to the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of self-mockery appeared on Fu Tianming's face.
He shook his head, a glimmer of reminiscence and complexity flashing in his scarlet eyes:
"No. What kind of behemoth is the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance? Its rules are strict, and experts are as numerous as clouds. This Inverse Immortal Alliance was merely something I put together back then in a moment of rashness, gathering a bunch of Cultivators who also harbored resentment towards the orthodox Immortal Dao."
He paused, his voice lowering, with a hint of uncertainty:
"I've been sealed for too long... The world has changed. That Inverse Immortal Alliance, after so many years, probably no longer exists, right?"
Just then, the floating phantom of Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable beside them suddenly let out a soft 'oh?' and then spoke:
"Northern Region? Inverse Immortal Alliance? What a coincidence."
Su Mo and Fu Tianming looked at him simultaneously.
The phantom of Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable flickered slightly, seemingly retrieving long-sealed memories, and after a moment, confirmed:
"To be safe, this Venerable hid the resources deep within the Meteorite Sea in the Northern Region of Yunxiao Heaven."
"Northern Region? Meteorite Sea?" Su Mo's eyes lit up instantly, like an explorer discovering a new continent. "Doesn't this mean..."
He suddenly turned his head, forcefully slapped Fu Tianming's shoulder, and a smile full of Jianghu camaraderie bloomed on his face:
"Old Fu! Hear that? We're going the same way!"
Su Mo had originally thought he could only choose one between improving his strength and catching the adulterers.
But now, he didn't have to choose; he could have both.
Fu Tianming stared at Su Mo's eyes, stunned for a moment.
"Really? Brother Mo, you... are willing to delay your journey for me?"
"Of course, it's real!" Su Mo answered decisively.
He nodded silently:
"Thank you, Brother Mo."
Su Mo immediately grinned, patting his shoulder forcefully:
"Hey—we're brothers! No need to be polite! Hurry up, lead the way! I can't wait to help you get justice!"
Fu Tianming was made somewhat speechless by his eagerness, which was even greater than his own, and his scarlet eyes flickered.
It was his own blood feud, festering for ten thousand years, yet why did Su Mo seem even more excited than him?
Who exactly was going to teach that pair of scoundrels a lesson?
A hint of absurdity flashed through his heart, but then, a strange sense of ease quietly emerged.
Having Su Mo's help didn't seem bad.
The corner of Fu Tianming's mouth subtly twitched upwards.
"Alright."
He said no more, composed himself, and looked towards the northern sky. That direction, even after being sealed for ten thousand years, was deeply etched into his Soul.
"Follow me."
As his voice fell, Fu Tianming's black robe fluttered, transforming into a gray-black streak of light, and he sped off towards the north first.
Seeing this, Su Mo laughed heartily, a faint flow of Chaos Qi circulating around him, effortlessly following, keeping pace with the guiding phantom of Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable.
"Old Fu, fly faster! Don't dawdle! The sooner we arrive, the sooner we finish, and I'm still waiting to go to the Meteorite Sea!"
Su Mo's voice carried on the wind, as straightforward as ever.
Fu Tianming's figure, flying ahead, swayed almost imperceptibly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his scarlet eyes, but the speed of his Escape Light (Escape Light) quietly increased a bit.
What Su Mo and the others didn't notice was this.
About half an incense stick's time after they left, a faint golden stream of light emerged from the ground where Zhao Cangqiong had stood.
This golden stream of light, as if alive, circled in place for a moment, recording all the information of the area, then flew south, in the completely opposite direction of Su Mo's travel.
Its speed was far beyond that of an ordinary Golden Immortal's Escape Light, vanishing completely in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.
And the territory to the south belonged to the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance!
