Chu Mo took the letter and opened it directly. It was short, but the handwriting was extremely neat and the strokes were strong; at a glance, one could tell that the person who wrote this letter had deep mastery in the art of magic.
"Young Master Chu, upon hearing of your sect's founding celebration today, a day of great joy, I send a modest gift to express my little bit of heartfelt sincerity, without claiming to be respectful. Wait for the day when you ascend to the Heavenly Realm, I shall find you and we will share wine and merriment." At the end of the letter, the signature didn't contain a full name, just a "Guo" character written with flamboyant flourish.
If one were to ignore everything that had just happened and simply look at this letter, one would really think it was just a common congratulatory letter. However, in the context of what had just occurred, everyone felt an eerie chill.
To send over a puppet that almost killed countless people and then use such benevolent words, it was simply unimaginable what kind of person could do such a thing.
"Guo?" Chu Mo frowned slightly, not recalling knowing anyone with the surname Guo in his memory.
At that moment, Die, who was standing next to Chu Mo, suddenly said, "Some time ago, during the most tumultuous period on the message board, there was someone on the board who went by the name Nine Heavens Moon Gazing and spoke arrogantly. It was later confirmed that this Nine Heavens Moon Gazing is the famed young Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, Guo Tianwang. Could it be him?"
The others all appeared contemplative, feeling that it was indeed a possibility. However, they were also puzzled because even if Guo Tianwang disliked Chu Mo, the two had no grievances. Why would he send such a puppet to trouble Chu Mo?
If it hadn't been for Chu Mo's quick reaction, had the puppet succeeded in exploding, then all the people present probably wouldn't have met with a good end!
Therefore, everyone bore hatred in their hearts towards this Guo-surnamed person who left the letter for Chu Mo.
At this moment, Qin Shi walked over, glanced at the letter in Chu Mo's hand, and then shook her head, saying, "This isn't Guo Tianwang."
The crowd looked at Qin Shi with surprised expressions, waiting for her explanation, as only Qin Shi and Dong Yu truly understood the Immortal Realm.
Qin Shi said, "Guo Tianwang is a pure martial artist who never likes fancy calligraphy. He couldn't have said such words. Moreover, I have seen a scripture personally transcribed by Guo Tianwang... his handwriting was nowhere near as good as this."
In fact, Qin Shi was already being quite generous to Guo Tianwang; it wasn't that his handwriting wasn't as good as this, it was simply incomparable.
The truth was, Guo Tianwang became an Emperor at the age of thirty-eight, stepping into the Emperor Realm, becoming an idol in the hearts of many. Thus, there were those who asked him to share his cultivation insights.
This was really just a casual request, even the person who asked did not expect Guo Tianwang to agree. Surprisingly, not only did Guo Tianwang agree, but he also made many copies of this scripture and distributed them.
His own words were as follows: Every person has their own path; even if the general direction seems the same, there are differences in the details. But since everyone wants to know what my path is, I'll share it with you all to see!
From this viewpoint, Guo Tianwang was a man with broad-mindedness in life. It was just that his handwriting was really too ugly, so much so that many people, although praising Guo Tianwang's selflessness, also joked about whether he could practice his writing.
Guo Tianwang didn't care about these comments at all, responding to such voices, "Why should I practice that? Can it lead me to the supreme path?"
Qin Shi continued, "Guo Tianwang is a true believer of the Heavenly Realm's superiority, considering everything outside the Heavenly Realm as barbaric. He looks down on any cultivator not from the Heavenly Realm and does not hide his disdain. So, although the words he said on the message board were excessive, that was exactly his character."
At this point, Dong Yu also came over and snorted, saying, "Just his character? It's clearly provocation. Wait for the day when Young Master becomes an Emperor and beats him until he scurries to find his teeth!"
All the surrounding people couldn't help laughing, at the same time thinking: according to the current momentum of Chu Mo, it might not be too long before he steps into the Emperor Realm.
What was a somewhat somber atmosphere became somewhat lighter with Qin Shi and Dong Yu's banter. Though the recent crisis had left everyone cold with fright, sweating profusely, now it seemed to be much better.
"There are some people who naturally give others a sense of security, as if with them around, there is nothing that cannot be resolved. Generally, such people are respected elders with strong and profound backgrounds, but Young Master Chu was already such a person when he was young."
This sentence was written by a cultivator who was present, many years later when he wrote down the memoir of his life.
A crisis, in the end, turned out to be like a farce. After Qin Shi was quite sure that the person who wrote the letter was not Guo Tianwang, everyone shifted their attention elsewhere, guessing who this person could be.
However, in the end, no one could guess it. Although there was the channel of the Illusion God Realm to communicate through, the Immortal Realm's understanding of the Heavenly Realm was still somewhat weak.
Nevertheless, Yang Xuan, Li Zhongyuan, and the Elixir Sect's Sect Master, among others, all stated that they would definitely communicate with the people of the Heavenly Realm and thoroughly investigate this matter.
The one who could create such a puppet and have the ability to send it into the Immortal Realm must not be an ordinary person.
In his heart, Chu Mo actually had some suspicions that this matter was done by the blood demon ancestor, but on second thought, something felt off. Because the blood demon ancestor should not yet know that Chu Mo was the one opposing him.
Although he had killed one of his avatars at the Buddhist temple, the issue was, as the old monk had said at the time, that avatar had come only for karmic reasons, and upon being killed, it likewise would not be able to know what had happened here.
Unless the blood demon ancestor had become supreme, capable of truly deducing the secrets of Tianji and deducing Chu Mo's identity. But the blood demon ancestor was not supreme; otherwise, he wouldn't need to practice the Nine Revolutions Unity Divine Technique.
So in the end, no one could figure out who this person with the surname Guo was. They decided not to think about it anymore; otherwise, they would only add to their own troubles.
That evening, Piaomiao Palace held a grand feast. The newly formed alliance was in high spirits, unaffected by the previous events, because everyone understood that in the Cultivation Realm, danger could arrive at any moment. Forming a group... was much better than fighting on their own!
What they were even more optimistic about was Chu Mo's future.
Three days later, the grand event concluded, and people began to leave one after another.
At Piaomiao Palace, there continued to be an influx of young people wanting to join. Chu Mo made a suggestion: regardless of background, not seeking extraordinary talent, but looking at moral character. Anyone who wanted to join Piaomiao Palace had to be observed for three years before truly becoming a disciple.
This requirement seemed somewhat stringent but did not deter the enthusiasm of the young people of the Immortal Realm, with a large number still wishing to enter Piaomiao Palace.
Chu Mo temporarily left the Fire Dragon Cup at Piaomiao Palace. Even when major crises occurred previously, Chu Mo had not let the Fire Dragon come out. In a short time, it would become a trump card for Piaomiao Palace, protecting it covertly.
Chu Mo also promised the Fire Dragon that when he ascended to the Heavenly Realm, he would definitely take it with him.
Subsequently, Chu Mo lectured at Piaomiao Palace for seven days. This time, his audience was not the outsiders but Qin Shi, Dong Yu, Fang Lan, and others.
In Dong Yu's words, this was what truly meant to impart teachings, unlike Guo Tianwang... who was clearly fishing for fame!
Anyway, Dong Yu just didn't like Guo Tianwang; who asked him to mess with Chu Mo for no reason?
After seven days, Chu Mo temporarily left Piaomiao Palace because he had an important friend who, since stepping into the Immortal Realm, had never appeared or sent any messages. Chu Mo was worried.
------------
After several days of social engagements, the greatest helplessness in the adult world is that some engagements must be attended. Remembering a song by Beyond, "Public Face Party," am I revealing my age? After all, it's a bit strange for people born after 2000 to like this kind of music...
Ah ha, it's finally quiet today!
How much more do you want? I'm here with you all...
