Chu Mo then opened the messaging board and found, as expected, messages about the opening of the heavenly road.
"Big news, the heavenly road, which opens once every three thousand years, is about to open again. Cultivators above the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, are you ready?"
"Who knows how many dazzling figures will emerge this time the heavenly road opens? How many young lords will break through from the pinnacle of true immortals to the high rank of Emperor-level in one fell swoop?"
"This is a feast for geniuses, irrelevant to us ordinary cultivators." Someone sighed lamentably.
"Heh, the heavenly road... the path to becoming a god in ancient times. Don't speak as if it's so easy, as though anyone can walk the entire path. I advise those with mediocre talent not to set foot on it lightly. Every time the heavenly road opens, countless people fall there. Measure your abilities before you act," someone else said, with a tone of discouragement.
"Right, what about that kid who came out of the Mortal Realm? Has he ascended to the Heavenly Realm? I hope he can catch up with this event. Isn't he proclaimed as a peerless Heavenly Genius? Weren't they saying his talent and aptitude could rival the top geniuses of the Heavenly Realm? This is a chance to prove himself. Young Master Chu, don't chicken out, come join us!" Chu Mo was mentioned by someone.
All sorts of messages flew around, a cacophony of voices and opinions.
Upon reading them, Chu Mo merely smiled faintly. Then he sent a message to Qi Xiaoyu, Hu Lie, and Die respectively: "I'm going to walk the heavenly road."
Die's reply came the fastest: "You've ascended to the Heavenly Realm? I've heard about the heavenly road, and your master and I also plan to go there. Do you want us to meet there?"
Chu Mo replied, "Very few people in the Heavenly Realm know you. Let's not meet openly for now. We can just support each other silently."
Chu Mo worried that when the time came, people like the Blood Demon Ancestor and those several families would target the Demon Lord couple, who currently weren't powerful enough to protect themselves.
On her end, Die had also thought of this and didn't refuse. However, she told Chu Mo that she and the Demon Lord would definitely be near him, ready to face any danger together.
Chu Mo didn't try to dissuade them any further because he understood his master and mistress.
Hu Lie also replied quickly, his tone filled with surprise: "You kid... you've actually come so soon, haha, that's great, when the time comes, let's turn heaven and earth upside down on the heavenly road together, brother!"
Chu Mo was somewhat speechless, thinking to himself that two Great Luo Golden Immortals overturning heaven and earth? His sworn brother must still be half asleep, right?
Qi Xiaoyu, as always, did not reply. All messages to him were like stones sunk in the sea, and Chu Mo was used to it.
Subsequently, Chu Mo put away the messaging board and began to cultivate in silence.
The Heavenly Will and My Heart technique still stayed within the Daoism Extreme Volume, showing no signs of breaking through to the fourth volume. But Chu Mo's cultivation speed was astonishing.
Whenever he cultivated, Purple Smoke would watch in silence, sensing the changes in the essence energy of Heaven and Earth around them. She couldn't help but admire inwardly: What a monster!
While practicing the Heavenly Will and My Heart technique, Chu Mo also silently deduced the various Supreme Arts he had mastered, as well as the Daoism Nine Word Mantra. Every technique needed to become more proficient through this continuous learning and practice.
Several days later.
Purple Smoke took Chu Mo away from Purple Smoke City.
Their destination was a vast domain in the Heavenly Realm, named the Tongtian Domain.
The heavenly road was located in the central region of the Tongtian Domain.
The Heavenly Realm was truly vast, boundless and limitless, with billions of miles of territory being merely a speck in this ancient continent.
Purple Smoke directly summoned an Emperor-level warship, whose flying speed left Chu Mo in awe. He had never seen such a fast warship before, which flew through the void like a streak of light.
"Is this an Emperor-level dharma instrument?" Chu Mo looked around at the decorations inside the warship, his eyes glancing back and forth over several cute dolls.
Purple Smoke's face turned a slight red, waved her hand, and those beautiful dolls instantly disappeared without a trace. Then, trying to seem calm, she said, "This is a Supreme dharma instrument! It was left to me by my master. Its extreme speed... is the same as the speed of light!"
"The speed of light?" Chu Mo was visibly shocked.
Although these cultivators, when using their full movement techniques, could occasionally reach the speed of light at a certain moment, it was only for an instant. Unless one was at the Supreme Realm, it was impossible to maintain that speed indefinitely.
But this warship could achieve the speed of light? That was truly astonishing.
Purple Smoke said, "But to reach that speed, the energy requirement is too high. Unless it's a supreme being of the Supreme Realm, even an Emperor-level wouldn't be able to sustain it for long. There's no need to activate that speed unless it's for fleeing."
"That's still very impressive!" Chu Mo said.
Although the speed of the battleship didn't match that of light, its velocity was certainly unrivaled. Along the way, Chu Mo was either cultivating or standing by the battleship's window, watching the scenery fly past at high speed.
The continents of the Heavenly Realm were below, as the battleship traveled through the endless starry void. Sometimes, when they were very close to some stars, they could even feel a pulling force. However, the battleship remained stable, never being pulled toward any star.
"The Heavenly Realm is really vast!" Chu Mo exclaimed.
"It used to be even larger," Purple Smoke said. "Back in the days when the Great World shattered into pieces, many continents turned into dust."
Chu Mo fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Can you tell me the story of those days?"
Just as Purple Smoke was about to speak, her brows suddenly raised and she said in a cold voice, "Seeking death!"
Boom!
Chu Mo felt the battleship violently tremble, and even with his level of cultivation, he almost fell over. He staggered, a look of surprise in his eyes, not knowing what had happened.
Purple Smoke's expression, on the other hand, turned grave. She focused on piloting the battleship, which instantly rose millions of feet higher.
Chu Mo saw a dazzling beam of light hit the very place their battleship had just flown past, and then it shot out millions of miles into the dark and infinite cosmos.
"Is someone attacking us?" Chu Mo asked.
Purple Smoke nodded, immediately stopping the battleship, then turned it around and said coldly, "It's only polite to return the favor."
Chu Mo felt the battleship under his feet tremble slightly, then... he saw a similarly magnificent beam of light shooting into the depths of the cosmos.
Boom!
A brilliantly dazzling light burst open in the vacuum of space millions of miles away.
Then, seven or eight battleships charged toward Chu Mo's location, forming an encircling stance. At the same time, streams of energy shot from those battleships.
"Trivial tricks, aren't you ashamed?" said Purple Smoke disdainfully, piloting the battleship to vanish from its original spot.
The next moment, the battleship appeared directly behind the others!
The seven or eight battleships, as if frightened, tried to stop and turn around instantly but were much less agile than the battleship piloted by Purple Smoke.
"Stay here," Purple Smoke said, her figure flashing away and disappearing.
The next moment, she appeared outside the battleship, standing silently in the vast cosmic sky. Her hair fluttered, her clothing billowed, like a goddess.
Then, Purple Smoke made her move.
With one palm strike!
A huge battleship turned to ash.
The second palm!
The second battleship shattered to pieces, disintegrating into dust, which drifted down.
As Purple Smoke raised her hand for the third strike, a voice filled with terror rang out from one of the battleships, "Elder Purple Smoke... please hold back, we can talk!"
The palm fell.
And that battleship was obliterated.
