"Then Master... we must work hard!" Chu Mo said earnestly, "Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if a bunch of disciples and grand-disciples surpassed us in the future?"

"Embarrassing my ass!" the Demon Lord glared at Chu Mo irritably, "You're about to surpass me now, should I go cry out of shame?"

Thank goodness it's not dying out of shame... Chu Mo thought to himself, then chuckled, "True blue comes from indigo but is bluer than indigo; that just proves how formidable we are!"

"You've got the gift of the gab," the Demon Lord glared at Chu Mo, then said, "If that's the case, the force behind you will truly be earth-shattering. Perhaps the entire Heavenly Realm will be swept up in the storm because of you. Even if they eventually leave to set up their own factions, in terms of heritage, they will never escape your influence."

As the Demon Lord spoke, he couldn't help feeling emotional and said, "A generation's grandmaster, there's nothing beyond this! Your merit is truly great enough to defy Heaven."

Chu Mo felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head; his master didn't praise him like this very often.

Afterward, Chu Mo looked up at the Demon Lord, "Didn't Master have something to tell me?"

"Yes, it's about your Mistress," the Demon Lord's smile faded as he let out a soft sigh, "After I returned to the Immortal Realm and regained my strength, I went to the Fu Family and took away your Mistress's soul. All these years there has been no movement because I have been trying to recreate her physical body. Fortunately, Heaven leaves no one without a path. In an ancient relic, I found a sacred medicine."

"Sacred medicine?" Chu Mo was shocked. He was no longer the inexperienced youth he once was; upon hearing this, his heart was profoundly stirred, and he looked at the Demon Lord, "Does sacred medicine really exist in this world?"

The Demon Lord looked at Chu Mo, "If saints exist in the world, why not sacred medicine?"

"But there are no saints in our world..." Chu Mo hadn't mentioned his true heritage to the Demon Lord, and was surprised that his master even knew of the existence of saints.

"You little brat indeed know," the Demon Lord, seeing the look in Chu Mo's eyes, became even more satisfied, "I also found a scripture in that ancient relic and only then learned of these things. Actually, our great world had seen saints before, in an era long past, many generations before the current one."

The Demon Lord was somewhat excited as he spoke, "However, only that one saint, that is, an emperor-level existence, had ever emerged. After that, the world changed drastically, turned upside down. Many eons later, a great Quasi-Saint emerged who, in my opinion, had merit greater than the saint of old."

Looking at Chu Mo, the Demon Lord suddenly said, "Right, that Quasi-Saint... his surname was Chu as well!"

Chu Mo's heart churned as he looked at the Demon Lord and said with a bitter smile, "That Quasi-Saint you're talking about should be my grandfather."

Hisss!

Even though the Demon Lord had already guessed about Chu Mo's heritage, hearing Chu Mo admit it himself made him take a sharp intake of breath.

He murmured, "No wonder... the supremes in the Ruins were willing to hand their legacy to you when you were just a weak youth. No wonder, that venerable skeleton predecessor, would convey such a legacy. It turns out that my opportunity was related to you, and later on, it led me to meet you..."

As he said this, the Demon Lord's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, "Is this the terrifying destiny?"

Chu Mo fell silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Destiny is indeed mysterious and frightening. We cultivators... talk about defying Heaven, but in reality, who can surpass Heaven? Who can truly change destiny?"

The Demon Lord also fell silent for a long while before finally, he patted Chu Mo on the shoulder and said, "Ultimately, the conclusion is a good one."

Chu Mo nodded, "I hope it continues to be good."

After that, both master and apprentice fell silent, the topic too weighty. It was something they couldn't even avoid if they tried.

After a long pause, Chu Mo finally said, "Let's talk about your wife's situation!"

"Alright." The Demon Lord also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Chu Mo with a content expression, and thought to himself: In many ways, I really am not as good as my disciple. The student surpasses the master... It's truly so! What virtue and ability do I, the Demon Lord, have to deserve such a perfect disciple? In the future, probably countless powerful beings will envy me beyond words, won't they?

As he thought this, the Demon Lord's mood improved greatly. He said, "That ancient relic, in fact, before me, many people had already entered it. It can be considered a chance encounter, right? Only I found that ancient tome, which recorded many things. It included some matters about that Quasi-Saint old man. The author of that tome claimed his name was Wan Shitong, who knows everything from the past to the present. The purpose of writing this tome was to tell the fated people of our world. It was about what had happened in our world and about the remarkably talented individuals who had appeared."

"That book… do you still have it?" Chu Mo's voice trembled slightly; he knew far too little about his own background. It seemed from the Demon Lord's words that the book contained many records about his own family.

The Demon Lord nodded and took an ancient tome from his person, handing it over to Chu Mo.

The material of the ancient tome was unknown, but despite the endless years it had passed through, it remained intact.

Chu Mo didn't look at it immediately but instead put it away solemnly. Then he looked at the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord said, "At the end of the tome, it is written that in the depths of the cave dwelling, there is a sacred medicine from beyond our domain, capable of reshaping a perfect body! It is left for the person destined to see this book."

Chu Mo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had truly begun to understand the Fengshui Divine Art and naturally knew how powerful the person capable of making such prophetic art must have been. He couldn't help but think: This Wan Shitong predecessor… must be extraordinary, and very possibly, a true supreme being!

The Demon Lord was also quite emotional, "When I saw it, I was stunned for quite a while, because those words were practically speaking to me! My reaction at the time was much worse than yours."

Remembering the scene from those years when he laughed and cried, the Demon Lord truly felt it was an unbearable memory.

"And then? It sounds like that sacred medicine should have been perfect… why would there still be a problem?" Chu Mo asked directly.

The Demon Lord sighed, "The sacred medicine… was naturally perfect, but our Heaven and Earth are not perfect."

Chu Mo almost immediately understood what he meant and said with a bitter laugh, "The world rules are restrained, and no one can become a saint anymore. So, the original sacred medicine… must have become supreme medicine, or Quasi-Saint medicine, right?"

The Demon Lord nodded, "Correct, that medicine turned into Quasi-Saint medicine, which is also known as Quasi-Saint medicine. So, although it perfectly reshaped your wife's body, there was a flaw..."

At this point, the Demon Lord seemed somewhat embarrassed, "Your wife… she, she cannot give birth, that… Although I don't care much about it, your wife, after all, is a woman."

"Cough, cough…" Chu Mo coughed violently and then looked at the Demon Lord with an incredulous face, his expression as innocent as could be.

What could he possibly do about such a matter?

A piece of original sacred medicine had been suppressed by the rules of this world into Quasi-Saint medicine, and as a result, his wife's originally flawless body now had the smallest of blemishes. However, this flaw… Chu Mo truly didn't know how to solve it.

He looked at his master, with black lines running down his forehead, "This problem… is rather difficult."
